WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY S, 1»2« THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Mr. Hacking uf Hanover makes « plea for more effective steps to pre- gerve our trout streams. He claims that by dumpinfc small fry in the gtreaniii there is a loss of 95 p«r cent, and suKKests that the flngerlings bei Flesterton 4, Markdale 2 so, and later released into the streams themselves to be fished for. The result of applied common sense like this would be more sport.

To go through with such a progressive program, borrowing money to cover initial costs is usually necessary. Securing a loan of this kind is a simple matter for farmers of sound character. All that is required is an interview with the local branch manager of the Bank of Toronto. He will be glad to listen to your problems, give advice, and lend every reasonable financial assistance in his power. Consult the branch manager of the Bank of Toronto to-day.

There was a good crowd on hand, and they were treated to a good t>rand of hockey. The forwards all play- ed their positions well, and were vei-y dangerous around the nets, twice scoring on rebounds from Kelly's l)ad8. The McTavish, Boyd, Watson, combination were right up on their toes, and were backed up by a power- ful defence in Armstrong and Lyons, with Akins doing the needful when occasion demanded. Watson showed himself to be a much improved player and has taken on much class, checking well, and , scored two goal.s. Lyons, also has found himself and has taken on the weight which he lacked in former years, the shift from forward to de- fence just suiting his ."^tyle of going. Armstrong showed the speed need ed in checking the fast ru.shes of Littlejohns, ' English and Sullivan. These boys are three of the fastest -skaters playing hockey under Mark- dale colors for a long time. The game opened with both teams battling at a gruelling pace, with English scoring in 12 minutes, on a carom off Lyons' stick. Score â€" Markdale 1; Flesherton 0. Play opened up at a much faster pace in the second period, and Mc- Tavish and Watson scored in quick succession, placing the locals one up. Lyons and White entered into a duel in the visitors defence area, and ev- eryone became involved in the melee, which soon subsided. Watson again scored before th?r period ended, when he shot twice in successio on re- bounds of his own shots, finally regis- tering on the third drive. Score â€" Flesherton 3, Markdalel The final stanza displayed the best metre of the night, and some fine hockey was dished up. Markdale scored on some beautiful combination when jjiaying one man short, Ers- kine getting the goal. R. Boyd how- ever put the old ball game on "ice," when he drilled his wicked drive home for the final effort of a night of good hockey.

Brady, of Toronto, handled the bell and ruled with a rod of iron. Markdale drew nine penalties, and Flesherton five, Sullivan getting the piajor for "contempt of coiyt " The teams were handicapped by chipping ice in the first pericd, but nl'tor that conditions were improved. Dundalk 2, Flesherton Flesherton and Dundalk High school girls played a game of hock- ey here on Monday night last, with the visiting damselg carrying the old ball game home in the Boston bags by a 2 â€" score. Mattie Wright and Elsie McKee collided in the first period and were unable to render much effective ass- istance thereafter, although Miss Wright played part of the last per- iod. The game was noteworthy for its offsides, both teams being adept at the loafing style of the game, while the referee looked on with a-pater-X nal eye. McGraw and Wtatson were the out- standing players on the Dundalk out- fit, both checking well, and their rush es were very effective. The home girls aparently lacked - their usual dash, and appeared to be stage struck, although at times they dished up some very fair hockey, Marie Patten be- ing the pick of the lot. McGraw and Watson are credited with Dun- dalk's two counters, but what with the shoving, batting and caroming, it was well nigh impossible to locate the guilty party, being like Pat him- self, "Not Guilty Yer Honer."

Speaking of the proposed new schedule of rates for telephone ser- vice which appeared in last week's issue Bfanager Mrs. E. Munshaw of the Bell Telephone says: "I am very glad that the new sche- dule proposes no increase in rate for residence service. This will tend to encourage the development of resid- ence telephones; making the service of the merchant and business man, for which we are asking an increase, of growing value* to him. He is en- abled, as residence telephones increa- se, to reach an always wider circle of householders and customers. "We have delayed our request for a change in rates as long as we pos- sibly could. Nobody wants a starved telephone service â€" that would be in- jurious to the whole community!- We have no alternative but to readjust rates if wo are to continue to provide adequate service for present sub- scribers and extend our plant to care for new ones.-^We must do both of these things if we are to fulfill ourl obligations to the public. I "Of course no magic wand has ' touched the telephone business to de-. fend it from the general increase in prices during recent years. Construc- tion cost« are double those of a few years ago. We must continue to pay fair wages to the 14,000 men and wo- men who provide your service, to en- able them to maintain their custom- ary standard of living. The cost to Us of the intricate apparatus we use is largely determined by the higher wages now oseceived by skilled labor. "Only twice since pre-war days have our rates Been increased, 10 per cent, in 1918 and 12 per cent, in 1921. Con- trast this with the increased coat of alm(^t everything else that enters into the cOst of living to-day, and the need for a further readjustment of our rates is not difficult to realize. "We realize our patrons will agree that the importance of maintaining the standard of service and extendinjf it promptly to new applicants far out- weighs the moderate increase which we are proposing for this exchange."

Horse snd Cutter Locked Up How would you like to call on your "best girl" and be deprived of your horse, harness and cutter by her bro- ther? This is what happened to a young man of Culross Township. It appears the brother contends that he acted in this strange manner as the administrator of the estate of his fa- ther. The fact remains that when the young man was ready to leave the home of his lady friend he found that his horse and cutter had been locked up in the stable and l^arn by her brother who refused to return them to their owner.
