Messrs. \ Wallace Hamilton and John McKii:- vy,n were surprised a see a deer stantiing on the ahead of them and a dog close by on the side of the road. Mr. Hamilton left the truck when they came close and walked up to the deer and almost had his hand placed on its side when the animal moved off a short distance, .-^igain Mr. Hamilton approached the deer and again it moved off a few steps. The dog then came up and both dog and deer walked off into the bush together. We under- stand the deer is a pet and makes its home at a farm close by. It was an interesting experience for the men. as they did not at firist^know the animal was a pet. to plant their waste land to trees, so that ill the years to come the country will have a reserve of tini- bei- from which to draw. While it will take many years for the trees p'anted to become merchantable timber, the end justifies the means and the land will give rich returns when the harvest time comes. value in the community.

To The Electors of South Grey Ladies and Gentlemen: I deeply appreciate the honor of again bein.c chosen Liberal s^tandard-bearer in this riding, and. if elected, will do my best to bring in legisla- tion oi particular benefit to the masses of the people, especially respecting agriculture, indus- try and education. It would be my personal desire to spend the entire campaign in my home ritiing of South Grey. You can ajipreciate the fact, however, that being Liberal leader, necessitates me visit- ing every riding in the province. This means that I will be able to spend little or no time in South Grey. Fur that reason I am making a special appeal to my supporters who have loy- ally stood by me in the past to a.^ain rallv their efforts on my behalf. I am sincere when I sav your interests, as in the past, will be mv inter- ests, and I will continue, to do my best to serve vou. FARQUHAR OLIVER | gimi^ m.
