A Heavy Storm Quite a number of Flesherton people attended the motor show held at Teronto last week. They motor- ed down Wednssday inorning and that night a real blizzard came along that kept them there as refugees from the promised land. Most of them arrived home during Thursday, but they said that the storm was the worst that they had ever experiencedk At times the road was invisible due to the blinding snow and the drivers were forced to call a halt at times on their progress towards home and comfort. One carload left Orangeville at noon Thursday and arrived in Flesherton at C.30 that night. The joys cf winter car driving are truly- wor.dljrful ! Selecting anc' Miiting The Breeders in Poultry Flock Too often in selecting the stock for breeding high egg records or some outstanding' feature of the sire or dam are allowed to influence the judgmen.!;, without due legard to vi- tality or good breeding qualities that may or may not be present. The selection for vigor and foi thcc3 desirable qualifications that conform to the breed is comparatively simple, beause mostly these are vis- ible characters and can he chosen by comparison. Vigor is evident by the carriage, desirable body weight for age and breed, health and bloom of feather, and good bone formation, â- while the clean-cut head with clear, bright and prominent eye in the male and femal* is a certain indication of brain power and nervous energy and the hall-mark of high vitality and reproductive strength. Mrs. A. McCaaley Dies From Effects of Stroke Death came on Friday morning to Mrs. Andi^ew McCauley of Flesherton, following a stroke the previous Wed- nesday at her home in town. Mrs. Mc- Cauley had apparently been enjoying h^r usual good health and that mom iiig had been doing some work in the rear of her residence. Her neighbor, Mi-s. Robt. Alexander went to call on her a short time afterwards and found Mrs. McCauley lying on the floor in her home. She was taken to the home of her son. Reeve Howard McCauley, and was conscious for a few hou)i-a. but went to sleep Wednesd&y after- noon and passed away without i-e- gaining consciousness, on Friday morning. Deceased was in her 75th year and her dteath came as a dis- tinct shock to her many friendis in Flesherton. The late Mrs McCauley was born at Acton, Ont., and was the daughtet of the late Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Wright. She moved with her parents to Proton Township when she was a young girl and was united in marriage to Andrew McCauley almost fifty years ago. At first they resided in Proton and latet in Euphrasia and Ceylon, coming tc Fle.^herton in 1907. Mr. McCauley predeceased her in 1914.

Meld- ru'.-n) of Gimli, Man., and Jessie (Mrs. Vei;Tion Campibcll) of Grand View, Man. One son, Thomas, was accident- ally drowned while residing at Ceylon. The late Mrs. McCauley was well kncwn throughout this district, and was highly regarded by a host of friends for her cheery disposition and kindly manner with everyone. The writer, as a yoimgster, remembers many kind acts of Mrs. McCauley in her love for children, and in her understanding of their many moods Mrs. McCauley was a great read2r, although she has been handicaped the past few years with eye trouble. She was a member of St. John's] United Church, Fle.sherton. The funeral took place on Monday | afternoon when a large number of| friends gathered at the home of her son to pay their last respects to on; highly regarded in life. Rev. W.

Guest) It's like a smiling, friendly face, It's like a voice you long have known; You see in some distant place And rush to claim it for your own. The paper from your old home town Has bridged the long and dreary miles. And with it you can settle down .'Vmoiig; familiar tears and smiles It speaks for every friend you know It tells of scenes you yearn to see It brings back joys of long ago .A.nd tells of joys that are to be.l And as you run its columns o'er Your yester years come trooping! back, I You fancy you're at home once more And golden seem the letters black. It's speech is one you undei-stand. It tells of griefs that you can share It brings you in that foreign land Glad messages to banish care. There among scenes and faces strange. The old home paper seems to b(S A faithful friend that doesn't change A friend that you are glad to see Champion Shovellers Of This Village Snowshovellers in Flesherton havt been experiencing plenty of work at their favorite winter pastime this year, as can be seen by huge piles cf siiov/ they (Jeposited on the sides of the street. They have become so proiiciev'Ls in the wielding of the shovel that we would wager that they coaldii't be beaten in their fascinat- ing occupc'tion. In a neigitboring v.'eeUly paper we notice where the editor has awarded mythical champ- ionships to the local shovel wieldeif- and herewith in the list we would choose for Flesherton: Be.'-t "leaner" â€" Mark Wilson. Best clean up man v/ith broom â€" C. N. Richardson. Best high cut â€" Jim Wison. Fastest lane buildier â€" sidewalk tc road â€" Ken. Kennedy. Longest furrow with one sweep â€" F. G. Karstetlt.

It i« a great hardship on all parents only half way through the algebra course. Tors of Hay Moved A largo quantity of hay has been i-emoved by truck from this district duiing the past fall and winter months. Most of this has been taken to Allistcn and other localities where fodder was scarce. Good prices wore paid, twelve and thirteen doll- ars being the ruling price. The moving of this fodder has been a hlessinff. indeed, to those who have been so fortunate as to have a good supply on hand. Mr. Poi ter Beard of Springhill has disposed of over four hundred dollars worth of baled hay. Many farmers in this vicinity have disposed of a few tons, and a very large guantity, in the aggregate, has been moved. The farmors of this county a.pp)ear to be going in more for corn than they did formerly and this has had the effect of releas- ing some of the surplus hay. There was a timid knock at the door. "If you please, kind lady," said the be.^gar. "I've lest my ri.ght leg." "Weill" snapped! the woman, as the door was slammed in his face, "I haven't got it." â€" A Haileybury butcher, whik: dressing a chicken, discovered that the bird had two hearts. Every liv- ing thing in the north country ap- pears to be extraordinarily hardy. Men are men there and quintuplets 1 are five of a kind.

"I want to send these trousers by book post," she saidl "We cannot send trousers b^ book post," replied the postmistrusa. "But you told me the other day that anything open at both ends could be sent by book post." How He Knew Four workmen were playing cards "I knew you were going to play a spade. Bill,'' said one. "Ow?" Rsked Bill. ' Becau&?," said the first man, "I saw you spit on your 'and." Judging from the large demand for poultry marked by the official grades, it is apparent that Cana- dians are becoming familiar with those grades. More tagged' poul- try was displayed and sold on grade during the recent holiday season than in any year since grade tagging was introduced. The month's award for cynicism goes *o the man in Lonlon who left his entire estate to hig lawyer. Bates & Maddocks Burial Co.
