Bount- iful production is necessary but much effort is wasted unless the business of disposini; of the year's output is properly managed. In conducting the business of the farm the Stand- ard Bank can play a prominent and â-  useful part. Consult the mana'--'r and learn how true co-ooeration â-  ^tween banking and agriculture i ^Ids a more prosperous communit;'. THE STANDARD BANK OP CALtlAJ^A, t FLESHERTON BRANCHâ€" C T. Batty.

Big Steel Truck Broke Down Kimberley Bridge A bad accident occurred at Kim- berley on Tuesday afternoon, when a truck loaded with steel went through the 4th line bridge over the Beaver river, just north of i^imberley. The truck was ov.ned by the McGregor- Mclntjrre firm of bridge builders, who have the contract for erecting a steel bridge over the river at that point. Several of t':eir employees were on the truck at the time and all were more or less shaken up, two being injured quite seriously. Doctors from Priieville anJ Markdale attended to the injured. Artemesia School Fair Being Held this Thurs. The annual school children's fair for Artemesia township takes place this Thursday afternoon on the agri- cultural grounds, Flesherton, when all the schools in the township are ex- pected to take part. It is fortunate that the fair is to be held Thursday afternoon, as it is the ha'»f holiday and many more citizens will be able to visit the young people's exhibition, of which the latter are so proud. Each year the exhibitj are more numerous and more interest is being shown by the people. Prior to this the school fair has always been held on Satur- day. Local Dog Won Prizes A beautiful German PoiSide dog, owned by Mr. .1. H. Corkill of town, took honors at the dog show at the Toronto Exhibition that are worthy of mention. Mickey took first prize in the limit clas'3 of under one year, 3rd in the novice and 3rd in the puppy classes, notwithstanding the handicap of being ill at the time. There were sixteen competing in the limit class and to win first prize against other high class dogs is a distinction. The dog, whose registered name is Pride of Grey, is only nine months of age and was raised from the former dog that Mr. Corkhill had and which he sold to a Toronto man. The dog is not for sale even though Mr. Corkill was offered $150 at the show. . FLESHERTON BATTING AV.

We had a pleasant call on Monday from Mr. W. Fenwick of Toronto, who was on a visit with Osprey relatives, and was accompanied by Mr. James Cable cf Orillia and Mr. A. Sloan of Chicago. Mr. Fenwick has been in the cartage businejs in Toronto for 33 ' years and has built up a big business. He now has nine trucks and fifteen horse.: which are busy all the time. During all this time in Toronto Mr. Fenwick has been a constant reader of The Advance. A couple of freaks have come to our notice the past week of a rabbit with only one ear .ind a cat with a naturally bobbed tail. Pus.-.y gave birth the other day to three kittens, two of them being like their mother, tailless. On Monday Mr. Sam Semple I t^i towm brought into this oftice a I notato top with siiinll potatoes grow- j ing oul o' the joints where the leanes j join the .stalk. The small potatoes ! had started grov.inc: and thi- leaves i were about, one inch long. These i were real potatoes, not the potato 1 balls. ' Agnes Mac|rtiail Given Big Majority of 1722 Once again the electors of South- East Grey have returned their lady member to parliament, this time with a larger majority than was accorded her in 1925, but not as much as in the general election of 1921. It is ex- pected that Miss Macphail's majority this year will be around 1722. As the returns came in about nine o'clock it was seen that Mr. Edwards was not piling up the vote in the villages and towns as was expected and it was a forgone conclusion that the lady mem- ber would again be returned wtih a large majority, as very few of the townships had given out full returns and the votes in the- urban centres was all announced. Miss Macphail put up the greatest scrap that she has yet indulged in and Mr. Edwards had high hopes of winning the riding back to the fold of the Conservative party, but it was impossible. The returns from the various centres as we could secure them are as follows :- TOWNSHIP OF OSPREY Badgeros " 63 78 Feversham 127 147 Maxwell 109 113 Hatherton 24 43 Singhampton 28 81 Wareham 29 49 Rob Roy „ 71 21 Mcltnyre 75 36 526 57i Majority for Edwards of 45.

Again Victorious! NO REPORT ON COL. ARMSTRONG Up until the time of going to press we have not learned of the results in South Temiskaming where Co. Ernest Armstrong is running against a Liber- al. Col. .Armstrong was elected to Parliament last year and his many friends here would like to see him re- turned. NORTH GREY' GOES TELFORD In North Grey M. R. Duncan. ex-M. P., was defeated by Mr. W. P. Telford by a majority of 527. after a very .strenuous fight. Euphrasia township gave Duncan a majority of 220 while Owen Sound dropped over 1000 votes for Duncan, he only receiving a maj- ority of 122 there. FUNERAL OF GEO. THOMPSON. Funeral services for Geo. Thompson cf Feversham. who answered the call of his Maker to come to the great be- yond, were held at the Gospel Work- ers' church in Fever.-.ham on Thursday afternoon, .\ugust \2. at 2 o'clock. .A brief service at the honie piocedeJ tS)»c one conducted at the church. The lat- tet ser^'e was atten<led by a number of friends and acquaintances from distant tow:i>-. Burial wa.? made in To My Supporters : | Your work for the cause of ' independent political action was truly magnif icenL The united effort of all made ourt victory possible. I appreciate | your work and sacrifice and I thauik jou ail very much. I will serve you as wdll as I pos- , sibly can. Sincerely, Agnes C. Macphail. , the cemetery at Feversham, the body . being borne to itj final resting place I by the three surviving brothers and .' three cousins, namely Chris, and John \ Thompson of the 9th line, and Chris. ( Thompson of 'Nottawa. j The deceased was born in Celling- | wood township on .\ugust 11, 1872. | and at the age of four moved with ' his parents to the farm in Osprey township, where he has mado his home ever since. In the year 1903 he . was united in matrimony to Miss ' Charlotte Ottewell, who has been to â-  him a faithful wife and helpful com- ! panion. He departed this life on the ' evening of .Vugust 9th, following an ' attack of heart trouble. '; His departure was a shock, not only . to widow, sister and three brothers â€" â-  ; Mrs. A. Douglas of New Liskeard, ' Christopher and .James of Feversham, \ and John of Scarboro, but also to a I host of friends, who came from far , and near to pay a final tribute. His ! kindness and thoughtfulness for oth- i ers made him a desirable neighbor, j and any who were in need were cer- j tain to find him a sympathetic counsel- j or and friend. He \va.« an active mem- I ber of the Gospel Workers' church in j Feversham, and a credit to his church. Probably the best tribute that could be paid to him or to any man is that he lived the life of a true Christian gentleman, and so his departure was for him a triumph and a. release. His family and friends may well find solace in the thought that he is not dead, but li^^ng, for "'to live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die." Those who survive wijh to take this means of expressing their gratitude to all who have in any way sought to bring solace to the bereaved, and to thank the many' friends for their beautiful floral tributes.
