Editor AN OMEN OF GOOD TIMES The Imperial Economic Conference in the two weeks it has been in ses- sion at Ottawa, has covered a good deal of ground. Some people wcrt of the opinion, before the conferenci assembled, that there had been so much preparation, so much prelimin- ary exchange of ideas, so many ef- forts to provide means to overcome the oppressive measures of ta.xation that there would be nothing to do but to pass the resolutions and go home There has, however, been some very plain tnlking and a good many strug- gles to maintain preconceived notions erman intended to use it as >bait and entice some of the "big uns" to take M nil'ble. • • • There must be considerublu chagrin in the United States to have a negro lunner win at the Olympic games as their representative. They do not seem to draw the color line in field sports as they do in boxing, as their love for the negro race is of a very low order. • • • During the past year there has been a steady exodus of city dwellers to the farming communities. Though there is no money being made on the farm they evidently desire to have three square meals a day and a job than the uncertainties of uneinploy ment in the cities. Even with low prices the farmers arc far better ofi than thousands of workers in the cities. Won Court Case A fishing case that will have far reaching effects was tried in Markdale as to how best to overcome man-martt [ last in which the Gall Fishing Club obstacles to freedom of trade. The conference, after the first day's open- ing, has been held with closed doors, but with so many persons attending it and with large numbers of those interested in its deliberations, to say nothing of the ever-alert corps of newspaper men who came from all over the world to ferret out its doings the earliest possible moment, it would be strange, indeed, if there was not much i)ublicity. And one criticism applicaible to the nations composing the British Commonwealth, as well as the countries outside of it, has been strictly exemplified in the ilebating and negotiations at Ottawa. There has been, it is now conceded on all hands, a disposition of government? to maintain a policy of taxation, the primary object of which was to en- sued Mr. G. B. Wclton of town for trespassing on their fi.shing i-e- serve on the Bcaver River. Magistrate .Spereman of Owen .Sound gave his decision in favor of Mr. Wclton as the evidence showed that the prop erty was not fenced and any person was entitled to fish in the river. Mr. Welton was found fishing on the property by one of the Club's watchmen and information was im- mediately laid for trespassing. Evi- (ieiK-e was produced to show that the river was not fenced at the bridge and any person could enter the prop- erty by walking. A proper wire fence was needed which would keep out cattle and sheep. Quite a number of town people attended the court as considierabjle interei t was aroused over the case.

Professor Leacock recently ! FLESHERTON IS â€" MARKDALE 3 observed that nations so acting were obsessed with the law of self-preser- vation, but if this were their idea of statesmanship, they have been getting fearfully disillusioned in these years of hard times. We are glad to learn from Ottawa that there is now a swing of the pendulum in the other direction and that men like Mr. Bald- win and Mr. Runciman are insisting that nations must buy as well as sell, or jcar the consequences. They arc under no misapprehension as to the need of unshackling international trade wherever possil)Ie and for gett- ing rid of all pin-pricking methods of mulcting taxpayers when they bring into their country payment in goods for the exports of products made by them. AVith the removal of all such un- necessary impediments to trade be- tween countries composing the British Commonwealth in the first instance Avhich would, of course, have to bt homologated by the Parliaments of the respective countries, might we not expect to see many other nation.? fol- lowing the good example? Then, and not till then, are the good times, so devotedly wished for, likely to be fully brought about. But, in any case, we can all take courage and hope that from the friemlly and conciliatory at- titude of the negotiators there will at east be substantial progress made in the unshackling of commerce and re- vival of industry, not only in British nations, but in such enlightened por- tions of the globe as may emulate their example. Another league mixed softball game was played between Markdale and Flesherton on Tuesday, August 2nd, in the park, the latter team was vic- torious the score being 19-3. Oram pitched for the Flesherton team and gave the finest exhibition of pitch- ing that has been scon around here for some time. The next battle will take place in Flesherton, on Thurs- day, August nth, when a double- header will take place with Dundalk's mixed and boys teams playing the local teams. These will be whiz- bang games as each team has to win to stay at the top of the list. The following list is how the teams stand. (Mixed) Flesherton Dundalk ... Markdale . Inistioge ... the regiment was headed by Major E. N. McDonald of Owen Sound in the absence of Lieut. Col. Ferguson of Thorr.bury. Time at camp was almost entirely taken by specialists training and field tactics for open warfare, which was very interesting to all who took part. On Wednesday of last week new colors were present- ed to the Simcoc Foresters by the County and the ceremony was an im- pressive one. Following the presen- tation the whole brigade marched past General Ashton of Toronto, head ot Military District No. 2, taking the salute, together with Brigadier Col. T. .1. Rutherford of Owen Sound. We were indebted to Mr. C. H. Hale editor of the Packet and Times for a most enjoyable motor ride around the town and enjoyed the beauty spots ol that lovely town. There is no finer spot in Ontario than Couchiching Park and the many attractive flower beds receive commendation (from all sides. We enjoyed our stay in Oriliia and look forward to another visit when we have more time at our disposal. On the Saturday afternoon in camp a field day was held and "D" Com- pany marched off with premier hon- ors in the sports. Russell Cameron of Eugenia won 2nd in the 440 yard dash, first in middle weight boxing and wrestling and first in ,heavy weight wrestlir?'. with Ab. Ashley ot Durham taking the heavy weight box- ing title. Chas. Bellamy of Owen Sound, a member af "A" Company took first in the three sprints. "C- Conipany from Meaford took the cups for marksmanship and efficiency, for competition in the Grey Regiment, the second year in succession. MASONS ELECT D.D.G.M.

The thresherman who is inclined tt be careless, always in a hurry, whc does not take time to clean the weed scheen in the shoe of the mill, who never has his mill adjusted quite right and who is not particular in cleaning his mill inside and out after (finishing each job certainly does as- sist in spreading weed seeiTs back on A FAR REACHING I)IX'ISU)N A noteworthy decision was given J)y Magistrate Spereman of Owen Sound last week when he gave his opinion that fishing property had to be properly fenced, to keep out cattle and sheep, beiore a charge of tres- pass could be laid against a person. There are numerous atreams around here that are not protected by fenc- ing in any way and are therefore open for jjublie fencing in any way open for public fishing, wheth- er the fishing rights are own- ed by the owner of the prop- erty or sold to some fishing club. In order for some of these clubs to hold their fishing rights it would accord- ing to this decision he necessary to jpen<l a great deal of money to build 'ences and the outlay would be pro- hibitive. Then the clubs would nn doubt have to purchase the land in »^rder to protect their right, therefore ihe outlook does not appear very en tieing from the xtandpoint of thi rluhfl in quesdon. Another point i«, that any stream in which the fish have been deposited free by the Gov- ernment, is open for public fishing This is a far-reaching decision and all clubs interested will receive it with i^ismay. route to Lock 6, where she will take an important part in the official pro- ceedings. She will be loaded with a heavier cargo than has over before traversed the canal. Her capacity is 000,000 bushels of grain, giving her approximately 18,180 tonnage.

He makes .sure his mill is fed properly and that the weed screens are clean and doing the work for which they wera intended. He watches the grain spout carefully to make sure his mill is doing a clean Mi.ss Mae Duckett of Sarnia is holidaying with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Will Duckett.

There is no doubt that the truck has extended markets to growers. Some recent occurrences jihow the disadvantages, not so much of the truck as a means of transportation but of iobbers. There are cases where these men have taken advantage ot growers who have not up-to-date knowledge of markets. As an ex- ample of this might be noted, an early carrot grower in Southwestern On- tario was approached by a buyer who French inventor wants a law to make auto horns more musical. How would it do to have one that sounds something like a harp. NOTICE TO CREDITORS In the matter of the estate of John Conn, late of the Township of Osprey in the County of Grey, Farmer, de- ceased.

The thresherman while doing a job is in the employ of the farmer and is largely influenced by his desires If he wants a rush job the thresher- man often tries to oblige him by crowding his mill and not taking time to keep it properly adjusted with the result that grain is oft^-ii poorly cleaned, with considerable loss from grain being blown out with the straw. Farmers and threshernien alike should be very careful that stook threshing is done in such a mannei that sow thistle and other weed seeds are prevented from blowing to neigh- boring property. The careful threshermen is truly a credit to his industry and is very largely re.iponsible for preventinjf many weed seeds from spreading from one farm to another. Small Advts.
