Mc- DESERVED Last winter after church on Sun (lay evening, a well-known Reverend gentleman from out of town and three or four other fellows dropped in tt .see me. We had a dandy fire bias- ing in the fireplace. He was backed up against the fire getting warmed We talked about the hundred and one things which a few men, gathered in a social way, will discuss. Outside, '<' was a rough night. Standing back to the fire, facing the few jf Us, he said: "Boys, I have a riddle to ask you. What are the three coldest things in the world?" No one ventured an answer and we all pleaded we would "give up." .'Well" he .said, "you know they sprang e leak in Noah's Ark. On investiga- tion they found a little hole down in the hold, through which the water was leaking. They brought down a wise collie dog and induced him to plug up the hole by sticking his nose in it. Ever since you'll notice that all dogs have cold noses. Next Noah asked his wife if she would for a time hold her foot over the hole. She did and now ever since every womar, is bothered with cold feet. And fin- ally when Mrs. Noah got tired of tht jab, Noah sat himself down on the leak to stop up the impouring water. And ever since you'll notice all men when they get near a fireplace or a stove they always stand with theli backs to it."â€" E. A. D. in the Can- adian Echo, Wiarton. A TWO-STORY FARM Henderson â€" "You gave that cloak- room attendant a big tip, old boy." Johnson â€" "Well, he gave me a good coat." , _, HARD TIMES "Well, old man, what are you do- ing in these days?" - . rv'Slii- "Selling furniture." i^j .^ "Are you selling much?" "Only my own, so far." '] ' - Read the Small Advertisemeots In the last 20 years, Baldassare Forestierre, who has a ten-acre farm near Fresno, Calif., has put in his spare time excavating a maze of cav- erns under his farm, having more than 14,000 feet of floor space. There are 63 rooms averaging eight feet high and with 15 square feet oi floor space to each room. A drive- way 15 feet wide and 660 feet long through which trucks or cars can be driven passes through this subter- ranean farm. The various rooms are connected by a corridor three feet wide, six feet high and two miles long. Forestierre figures he moved 14,000 tons of earth to create this underground farm. On his surface farm Forestierre raises grapes and grapefruit, and his main crops on his underground farm are mushrooms and asparagus. Live Stock Report A heavy accumulation of week-end supplies sent weighty steers and butcher cattle down 25 to 40 cents per cwt. in late trading on the live stock market Tuesday. Veal calves were unchanged, while sheep and lambs were slow and steady. Receipts included 4,100 cattle, 360 calves and 870 isheep and Iambs. It was reported by a local live stock authority that four head ot cattle, averaging 1,080 pounds each and owned by James Herriott of West Luper, Out., brought |6.25 per cwt yesterday. It was the highest price paid for butchers in the past year and a half. It was stated that sup- plies of live stock throughout the country were not heavy and farmers are advised to moderate deliveries, which would tend to stimulate prices. "The farmers are too anxious to un- load poor unfinished stock, thus glutting the market and forcing value? lower," he said. Weighty steers sold at $6.40 to $6.- 75 for choice, with the majority from 14.50 to ?5.50 per cwt. Butchers sold mostly at $4.00 to $4.75, with the best $4.85. Cows and bulls were Happy New Year. Miss Marie McEachnie spent New Years with her parents here. LMr. and Mrs. R. ,W. Wilson and two children visited in Dundalk on Monday. Mr. Wallace Thompson of Durham spent N<-w Years at Mr. Fred Math- cwson's. Mrs. W. S. Inkster is visitinfi: with her daughter, Mrs. J. Jones, in Toronto. Mr. James Stewart, also Mr. and Mrs. Laurie Pedlar attended the fun- eral of the late Mrs. Norman Steven- son of Shelburne on Tuesday. Mr. A. S. Thurston of Thornbury gave a splendid talk on the symbolism of the fii-st degree at the regular meeting of Prince Arthur Lodge, No 333, A. F. & A. M., on Friday evening. Mrs. Geo. Best of Toronto Lint South had the misfortune to slip while out in the yard on Friday even- GOLD8.MITH GETS INTO HALL OF FAME The year-end review of athletic .stars in Canada in 1033 gives this district "one of those present" in the person of Hector "Lefty" Goldsmith, ace pitcher of the Southampton Fish- .•rnien. Lefty's no-hit no-run per- formance against Hagersville in the Ontario intermediate playdowns was considered sufficiently meritorious to earn him brackets in the hall of fame. It is no small honor, and we agree that Goldy is certainly an outstanding performer in baseball circles. He was,however, the only baseball pitchei named in the select circle, but of course he is not the best pitcher in Ontario, though his no-hit n«-run performance set him apart from his . fellows. 1^ steady at tops of $3 to $3.25. Choict| ing and in the fall her leg was brok- fed calves ranged from $6.50 to $7.25 Choice veal calves closed steady at $7.50 to $8.00. The bulk of the supply sold at $6 to $7.50 per cwt. Good ewes and weather lambs were firm at $7.50, with culls downward to $5. Heavy sheep brought $2.50, with culls $1. per cwt. No choice sheep were offered. Hog prices gained 10 cents per cwt on the market. Bacons closed nt $6.60 f.o.b., $6.86 off trucks and $7.10 weighed off cars. Receipts over the extended week-end were fairly light, totalling 1,130 head. Trading was unsettled during the greater part of the day, with packers' bids on a basis of $6.50 f.o.b. It seems as though this year the usual unusual weather has been more unusual than usual. Plant Soybeans In Rows During the past season which was notable for lack of rainfall, grrowers pf soybeans will have noticed the .value of cultivation to this crop. Tht .practice at Harrow has been to culti- â- .â- uto soybeans similar to corn and a •â- lean crop of good quality soybeans has always resulted. When soybeans .arc planted in rows 28 to 30 inches f\part, this beneficial cultivating may be done. This distance of planting would also be an advantage over the r.olid drilling of the beans, in that the plants are allowed more space in which to develop and produce abund- ant beans of good size. en. IMiss y. Nicholson returned oi» Monday after spending tjie past week with her sister, Mrs. Holman, in To ronto. Mrs. Holman has been ser- iously ill, but is now improving. Special watchnight services were held in St. John's United church on New Year's Eve, commencing at 10.- 30 p.m., when the pastor. Rev. W. J. Scott, conducted the service.

Kohl, candidate for council who was defeated by two votes, which he said suggested that there had been carelessness in the handling of the ballot boxes. Late Monday night when the results of the count had been made public Mr. Kohl asked to see the ballot boxes. They had been placed in the vault, but upon his insistence were taken out again and examined in the pres- ence of witnesses. tWhen it was found that very few of the seals were intact, Mr. Kohl appointed Robert Noble to act as his agent, and the boxes were re-sealed by both the re- turning officer, W. H. Whipps, and Mr. Noble. During the examination, notes of the condition of seals had been taken, and these notes were sign- ed by the returning officer. A letter is now on its way from Henry Foremanr defeated candidate for reeve and president of the local Conservative Association, to the At- torney-General of Ontario, Hon. W. H. Price, asking for an investigation. â€" iMail and Empire.
