AS GOOD As A NOD I key had invite, | hi.s friend to his daughltM-'s twenty-first birthday parly, and was (h'livcring the instruc. tions.

Restricted Area For £^ Cattle Campaign Throughout Grey County the great- eat interest is being taken in the Itestricled Area Campaign now being carried on. Approximately one half of the county has been covered the lirst time. Exceptionally large meetings were held at Vandeieur, Clarksburg, Ravenna, iMeaford, Bog- nor, Mount Pleasant School, Owen •Sound, Kilsyth, Dcsboro and Durham. Not (|Uite so many were present at Wolseley and Allan f'ark. They var- ied from 42 to 86. The chief objections offered were: 1. That farmers would lose many cattle which might make it difficult. Such objection is without foundation, because the farmers will get suf- ficient to replenish their herds, be- cause the compensation received and the sale of the animal will recoup the loss. Moreover, it is not expected the total losses will amount to more than :i to b"< in Grey County. Farmers have this Restricted Policy in 14 counties now and none have ag yet been put off their farms. 2. Difficult and expensive clean-up required. Such again is foundation- less. Farmers can do all the work of scraping and whitewashing them- selves. They need not have one cent of outlay except for lime and a little disinfectant. Moreover, not all stables must be cleaned. If a farmer has no reac- tors he need not clean unless he likes. In Northumberland, where slightly over 4"/, of cattle were diseased, ;{fi<)6 herds were tested. Diseased animals were found in only 241 herd* or 15 stables out of every 100 had to oe cleaned. Progress of Campaign Although only one week has elaps- ed since the work was started, there has come to the Grey County Depart- ment of Agriculture office at Mark- dale two complete petitions from S. S. No. 12 Sydenham and S. S. No. 11 Aitemesia. The former is signed 100'/, in favor. Thig is the first 100'/, petition to be received with all in favor. The latter has 39 names in favor and only 3 opposed or 39%. This wa.- the first petition to be re- ceived. Who will be next. Messrs. G. F. MucDonald and Robert King handled the first petition in Syden- ham and Messrs. C. Boland and Coun- cillor E. Warling called on the farm- 'is in S. S. .No. 11, Artemesia. The Sydenham campaign is under the dir- ection of Messrs Geo. Bothwell, Ex- Reeve of .Sydenham, and Councillor C. I-ipsett, Balaclava. They surely are i<> he congratulat*^>d. Meetings thi.s week are being held in Normanliy, Kk'romont, Glenelg, Osprey, Euphrasia and Holland Townships. Farmers will find these meetings advertised ip all local pap- ers serving these townships. Mr. R. H. Graham, Live .Stock Branch, Par- liament Buildings, Toronto, is the special speaker. Jfe has been through oany of the counties that have the re-^tricted area in operation. T. .Stewait Cooper is present at all meet- ings also. HOCKEY DOINGS Flesherton lost two games in their Centre Grey League schedule the past week, first to Dundalk on Friday evening 4 â€" and then to Markdale Monday evening 3â€"2, both games away from F'lesherton.

Dundalk plays here this coming Friday night, while Chatsworth will be guests of the local team on Mon- day evening next.

A de- lightful supper was sei-ved and a birthday cake lighted with candles centred the table. Miss Marjorie Meuser returned to Owen Sound, after visiting her sister, Mrs. Archie MacCuaig. This Thursday night the local Semi- Pro, entry is supposed to play in Pi-iceville. Their schedule has been greatly handicapped from being played by the absence of ice at Priceville, Dromore and Swinton Park and a new schedule will likely be adopted. HALLELUJAH Flesherton Semi-Pro.

The Ontario Police should wake up Kvc-n Mr. Odette has complaints to make as to the lax way in which the.\ do their duty with regard to keeping the beverage parlors in order. As to slot machines and other devices for looting the public, it is largely a mat- ter for the police to deal with. This was illustrated when a raid was made in Arthur a week or two ago. Not only was the situation cleared up in Arthur, but a scare was put into neighboring places aa well, including Mount Forest. Word was quickly circulated, one can guess how, and the gambling devices disappeared like magic, "they folded their tents like Arabs and as silently stole away.'' It is said almost a dozen dropped out of sight in Mount Forest. Unless vigil- ance is used they niiiy as silently steal back again when the scare is over Confederate A 3-Act Play "Small Town Romeo" UmltT thr Aiispict's of L. O. T,.

One of the sing success has to an- swer for is that it arouses so miich envy. Facility comes with practice and strength and fortitude with repeated effort. Necessity may be a hard school- mistress, but she is generally found the best. It is reported that a Flesherton tenant complained to the landlord that the roof was so bad that it rain- ed on his head. "How long is this going to continue?" the tenant de- manded. "What do you think I am," replied the landlord, ''a weather prophet?" â€" The elevator was crowded. A young man was close to a beautiful young girl. Suddenly, with no ap- parent reason, she gave the young man a terrific slap in the face «nd got off the elevator. A small boy that had not been seen before, said, "I am glad that girl got off, for she stepped on my foot and I gave her a good hard pinch.'' < , 11 :; Take Nt Chances ;; in the sale of yoor Livestock â-  > Ship to the Open Market and ' consign your shipments to the :: OLD RELIABLE FIRM OF ;; < > Dunn & Levack Ltd. ; ; Canada's Leading LiTestock Salesmen Established 1898 ', I Union Stock Yards â€" ^Toronto ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦♦ ♦ ♦♦ ♦♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦• | i- H"> cousin, A. l„ at me llincks Live Stock Report Monday's cattle market was some- what draggy as buyers were bidding lower prices and all markets in both Canada and the United States were easier.
