r,i ^J)je ^ks\^ttion %hmnu Vol. 54; Xo. 16 WEDXESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1934 VV. H. Thurston & Son, Proprietors Contract Extended For Road Paving Eight Extra Miles Awarded To King Paving Company For Work This Fall COMMENCED AT ONCE Two Pavers Laying Cement â€"Will Likelv Finish Road This Year Word arrived here on Thursday morning last that the King Paving Co. had been awarded a contract tc continue the paving of the extra ten- foot strip beside the same width laid down between Dundalk and Markdalt this summer, which was completed on Wednesday evening of last week. The contract takes in approximately eight miles of paving â€" from Flesher- ton to Markdale and from one mile south of Dundalk northward three and one half miles. Immediately on receipt of the con- tract paving commenced at the Flesherton end and is proceeding northward. Tuesday evening the paver had passed the Swanton farm and made fast progress in the four days of cement laying. The King Comany has brought an extra paving machine from their plant at Oakville, GASOLINE STOLEN The King Paving Company had a quantity of gasoline stolen from their mixer at the Dundalk end of the works on Monday night. Just how much was stolen has not been made public, but it is sufficient to cause the Company to get the county police busy in an effort to discover the mis- creant, whom they have strong hopes of capturing. An arrest is expected together with other machinery forj predeceased him. the Dundalk end of operations. Allj grravel and sand is being taken from the Flesherton pit, another acre being purchased from Mr. W. S. Inkster, and is being trucked to Victoria Corners, where it is placed in a stock pile. Machinery for the loading of trucks will also be placed there and the trucks with the cement, gravel and sand mixture will be taken from there to the work at the Dundalk end. Additional trucks will also be used. At present the crushing machinery in the gravel pit is oper- ating night and day to supply the material needed to keep operations running steadily and speedily. With both paving outfits working at their average capacity about one and a quarter miles of cement can be laid and finished every two days. \VTiile the King Paving Co. has secured the contract for eight addi- tional miles of paving it is confid- ently expected that if the weather is favorable the government will con- tinue the paving until the entire road from Dundalk to Markdale will have been paved twenty feet in width. Geo. Whewell Passes The Advance has received the fol- lowing clipping of the death of Mr George Whewell, a former Osprey citizen, which occurred at his home at Areola in August: By the death of George Whewell South Areola lost one of its most prominent and respected citizens. Born at Feversham, Ont., in 1866. the late Mr. Whewell came to Sask- atchewan with his wife and family in 1913, settling in the South Areola district, where he has farmed since that 4jme. The deceased was taken ill with rheumatic fever, followed by pneu- mania to which he succumbed on Sun- day afternoon at three o'clock. He is survived by three sons and one daughter, Wilfred, George, Har- cld and Madge, all of South .Areola, his wife and two daughters having Creamery For Village Assured Markdale Creamery To Open Creamen.- In Flesherton On WVighl Property BUILD IMMEDITELY The late Mr. Whewell was a mem- ber of the South Areola United Churjh in which he held office of Elder. His death leaves a gap in the community that will be hard to fill. The funeral service was held on Tuesday afternoon at the family home, the Rev. C. Down of Antler officiating. Floral tributes were received from the following: ths Family, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Whewell and family, Mr. and Mrs. Wilb. Whewell and family, Mr. and Mrs. L. Whewell and family the Workman and Haddow families, Mr. and Mrs. Mat. Olsen, Mrs. E. Hildebrand and Irma, Mr. and Mrs. John Eberl and family, Mrs. |W. Xicol and family, South Areola Wo- men's Association and the South Ar- eola Young People's Class. E-xpect To Be Opened For Business By New Year Through the efforts of the Board of Trade Flesherton is now assured of a creamery. The Markdale Cream- ery, owned by Messrs. Rapp and Borinsky, intend to erect a modern one-story building on the corner lot across from The Advance office, owned by Mr. John Wright. The building will b* 30 feet by 40 feet with a wooden addition at the rear, and we understand will be of cement block construction. Work will com- mence immediately on the building, which is expected to be ready for use by the new year. The agreement between the Markdale Creamery and the Board of Trade is ready to be signed. The entry of this firm into Flesh- erton will be appreciated by the farmers of the district who sell cream, as it will bring more money to their pockets, an advantage worth w! 'le these Jays. The Markdale Creamery also has a branch at Dund-Ik. For several months the Board ot Trade has been working on tht creamei-y idea, as it was felt that one was needed in town, and several pro- ositions were laid before the Board, with the result that the proposition of the above firm was accepted. We are sure that the Markdale Creamery Company will not have cause to re- ^et their entry into Flesherton. but on the other hand that the business will grow and be one of their most valued assets.

Lured To Ambusk iWhat is believed to be an attempt on the life of County Constable W. G. Bayne of Belwood is being investi- frated by provincial police. Called out early in the morning to attend a non-existent accident on the Fergrus-Orangeville road. Constable Bayne was fired at with a revolver. Th« bullet crashed through the wind- shield of his car, narrowly missinit him. He had received no threats, and could give no explanatioa of the shooting.

On an average, over a period oi nine years, ploughing four inches deep for a rotation of corn, oats, clover and timothy has given higher yieds than has ploughing seven inches deep, except in the ease oats, in which the yields have been practicaHy the same. The shallow ploughing is of particular advantage to the corn crop. In the preparation of sod land for grain, it has been found that plough- ing in July, as soon as the hay is off and top-working during the summot has net only given higher yields ot :>ats, but has also left the land free from couch grass. The experiment has shown that on sandy loam soil, it does not pay to either rib the land ot replough in the fall. On heavy clay soil, rubbing or reploughing late in the fall gives the frast a chance to nellow the soil and leave it in a oetter state of tilth. In the preparation of sod hand for corn, manuring on the sod and spring ploughing has given higher yields than manuring and fall ploughing It would, therefore, appear that foi^ corn on sandy loam, the land should be manured and spring ploughed four inches deep, while for grain, it should be ploughed as soon as the hay is off and top-worked. Thieves are working this locality quite e.xtensively this year, and are helping themseves to car accessories whenever needed. Mr. Sam Phillips of the Collingwood Gravel recently had the tires removed from his car including the spare, battery and othei parts while it was in the garage at his home. This was rather a risky piece of work, but the thieves got safely away with their booty and the owner was none the wiser until the next day. Cars left parked in the United Church shed have been minus gasoline the next momring. Some garden produce has also baen taken from owners' pi-operties, leaving no clues for the sleuths to follow in an ?ffwrt to locate the guilty parties. Those who make a business of petty thieving will go to the well once too often and repent when it is too late. Flesherton Orange Lodge No. 2855 is again undertaking to supply toys tc the needy of this district through the contest st." red by the Bucking- ham Tobacco Co. Suitable contain- ers have been placed in the stores in town, where you can deposit youi empty cigarette and tobacco package - Don't throw them away but think about the happiness you can give some youngster on Christmas morn- ing, who otherwise might not receive any gift on that day of days for kid- dies. -A.ll tobacco users are urged to assist the Lodge as the number ct toys received depends upon the num- ber of Buckingham cigarette anj tobacco cartons collected. Kimberley is making a glorious fin- ! ish in the Centre Grey League finals ; ivhen they disposed of the leading! Collingwood nine by 3-2 in the first of the finals on Tuesday afternoon,, in a most interesting game. Both I LaVerdo Smith of CoUingood and | .\lonzo Smith of Kimberley had a ! ^reat alternoon, the former having j 10 strike-outs to his credit and thej latter 13. Errors on the part of! Collingwood fielders resulted in two j oi Kimberley 's runs in the fifth inn- 1 ing, when Stan Haines and Smith scored, tieing up the game. Their winning run came in the sixth when ilyles counted. Burns and Swain scored for Collingrwood in the thirr and held the lead until the sixth. Four Kimberley players were left on bases during the game, while five Collingwood men were left stranded. High class ball is being played by these two teams and the return game at Kimberley Friday afternoon should attract a large crowd. The game is scheduled for o p.m.. Darham Eliminated Kimberley entered the finals of the Centre Grey Baseball League when they disposed of Durham at Markdale on Thursday last, by the score of 5-0 in the third game to decide an oppon- ent for Collingwood in the finals Smith was very effective for Kimber- ley. keeping the Durham hits well scattered and bore down heavily with runners on the paths. McLean was good for Durham and had only twc bad innings, but these, together with Durahm failing to find the secret to Smith? curves, brought his downfall.

S. Hopkins. B.S.A.. l!>ominion Field Husbandman. "Re- turn values are more or less controlled by the law of supply and demand cr by other prevailing conditions, and the producer has very little influence upon the price he will receive for his product. He has. however, some control over his cost of production and the economy with which he produces his crop may mean the difference be- tween profit and loss on that crop. In times of depression and low prices this is doubly important. If profits are to be maintained when prices are low. costs must he measured ac- cordingly." out a triple and a home run to .score four of the five runs, two of them I wishing them many being counted by Hatch, who received happiness togeter three walks from McLean.

Losses to potatoes from low temp- eratures may be prevented by adopt- ing the following measures: (1) Har- vest the crop before heavy frosts. (2) Store the crop in rooms having a temperature between 35 and 40 de- grees F., thus preventing the pota- toes from turning sweet and the development of necrosis. (3>, Pro- vide protection against frost for pota- toes transported daring the cold months. (4> When it is known that potatoes have been undercooled do not handle them until it is certain that the temperature is aboye the freezing point. Hamilton water is said to be ruining complexions there. Still the drug- gists are meeting the need.
