Moon Eclipse To Be Fifty Minutes A total eclipse of the moon will be visible May 14th over North and South Americas, Australia and the Pacific Ocean. The eclipse, iixsX since July, 1935, will continue for fifty minutes be- ginning at 3.18 a.m., E.S.T., according to calculation at Perkins Observatory, Ohio Weselyan University. $350 In Cash Taken The first robbery in the Beaver Valley district in some time was dis- covered by cream truck drivers for the Beaver Valley Creamery, Clarks- burg, when they came to work early Monday morning. Envelopes contain- ing about $350 for the farmers of the community had been placed in a large refrigerator for the drivers to dis- tribute. The door at the rear of the creamery had been broken in, and found on the inside had been used to remove the refrigerator door. Provincial Constables S. Cook and H, Noble are investigating. HOW TO TREAT A MAN (by a horse) When a man drops from sheer ex- haustion or illness promptly seize an end-board or a carstake and pound him on the head and ribs. If this does not fully recuperate him, kick him, kick him violently in the stom- ash. This treatment will restore him if persistently adhered to. If a man finds his load too heavy and feels that it will strain hira to proceed, kick off a fence board and knock him down and then hammer him thoroughly. This will give him renewed energy and he will make no fuss. But do not, on any account, reduce his load. If a man refuses to drink when you give him water, do not give him any water for two days. That will "teach him" to be thirsty at any time you find it convenient to attend to him. It is a good plan to ply the whip frequently on a man who is at work. Hit him now and then on "general principles,." and prevent him from taking any comfort. If his load is not heavy oblige him to go faster to make up for it. Tie your man's head back in an unnatural position with his eyes to- ward the sun. This will give him a fine appearance and prevent stumb- ling. In winter remove his clothing to "prevent him from taking cold." He will dry more quickly when you overwork him. Men thus treated are much healthier than when allowed winter clothing. R. M. ELUSON PASSES Mrs. R. G. Holland received the sad news this "Wednesday morning that her brother-in-law, Mr. R. M. Ellison, had' passed away at his home in To- ronto. He was in his 78th year. Mrs. Holland is leaving this afternoon for Toronto. COURT ACTION OVER CATTLE DEAL More homes were built in Sweden in 1937 than in any recent year. MEATS EVERYTHING IN FRESH CURED AND COOKED MEATS Try One of Onr Choice Steaks Priestley's Meat Market THE FRIENDLY STORE Phone 47w FLESH ERTON, Ont. An interesting division court case was held at Walkerton last week by Judge Owens, respecting the sale of a number of shipping cattle by Robt. M. Aitken of Culross to Abraham Kerschenbaum of Breslau. The transaction took place on October 1st of 1937, and the cattle were to be lifted soon after. The price was sev- en cents per pound less $5 on the bunch. When the price began to drop, Kerschenbaum appeared to be in no hurry to take the cattle and Aitken sent him word ordering him to do so. Soon after, the dealer sent a truck from Toronto for the cattle, but, due to the fact that no prior notice of this was given Aitken, the latter was unable to deliver the cat- tle. The dealer said he would re- turn later, and he did so, but when settling for the stock he retained $78.60 for the cost of the previous trip of the truck, and the difference in the »narket between the two last- mentioned visits. Aitken sued and obtained judgment for the amount, with costs. Wm. Flynn Died In Hamilton Hospital Death came to William J. Flynn in a Hamilton hospital on Tuesday. May 3, about 1.30 p.m. He was 52 years old, being born in Flesherton on February 13, 1886. He was a son of the late John and Margaret Flynn. He was a veteran of the Great War and went overseas in 1916 with the 147th Grey Regiment.

The funeral was held on Thursday, May 5th from the home of John and Abraham Parker to Salem United Church where a large crowd gathered to pay their respects to one who had served his country. Rev. H. E. Wright held an impressive service (luring the course of which Messrs. Edwin Fowler and Ed. Heard sang a duet. The committal service in Salem Cemetery was conducted by the Dun- dalk branch of the Canadian Legion, with Comrade Thomas Chase, pres- ident, in charge. The pallbearers were Comrades Dr. Sudden, Joe.

Stuart Celebrate GUESTS AND CAKE OF WEDDING IN 1888 AT GOLDEN WEDDING CEYLON BADJEROS SOFTBALL LEAGUE WHEAT THE STANDBY Canada ranks last as a supplier of wheat to Italy, partly owing to Cana- dian prices being highest and partly because imports from European count- ries were affected through clearings, that is, on credit. At the same time, Canadian wheat in 1937 showed its importance. Entry into Italy of Can- ada's products is impeded by prohibi- tive tariffs, exchange restrictions, and quota restrictions while Italian prod- ucts entering Canada enjoy most fav- oured-nation treatment. Despite these conditions, the balance of trade is still in favour of Canada, mainly due to shipments of wheat, which in 1937 accoimted for a little more than 50 per cent, of the imports from Can- ada and were valued at 31,708,000. Badjeros District Softball League re-organized for the season. Officials elected were: Hon. Pres'., Hugh Bail- ey; Pres., Jack Oats; Sec.-Treas., Norman Stewart. Seven teams are entering the League this year, com- posed of Redickville, Badjeros, Dune- din, Signhampton, Mclntyre, 'Fever- sham and Maxwell. The Executive is meeting this Wednesday night to draw up the schedule.

The building will be a frame con- struct'on, single story, and will have considerably more floor space than the old mill with the machinery com- pactly arranged. The picker, in which the fire started that destroyed the old mill, will be housed in the . cement section of the old mill which is in first class condition and will be partly fireproof. Repairs were made to the flume that will improve its efficiency. The old water wheel wa.'i undamaged and will again be used for power to drive the machin- ery. Mr. Nu'.r. expects to have the mill in operation by the end of June. Visitors with Mrs. W.

The lights of the tractor were not working and the machine was proceeding, guided by the light of the car ahead, when the front wheel dropped into the bog at the edge of the road. A wrecker from a Flesherton garage was called but could not do anything. Sunday an- other tractor was secured and along with the aid of cables, ropes and plenty of willing assistance, the trac- tor was released and proceeded to the Durham Road. Considerable spring work has been done with tractors in this locality. Because their wedding anniversary falls on the anniversary date of the Hudson's Bay Company, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Stuart chose the Bay's Georgian Room in which to entertain twenty- one guests Monday, May 2. in cele- bration of their golden wedding. The celebrants were married in Paisley, Ontario, Mt.y 2, 1888, and came west four years later to TA'^inni- peg, where they remained until 1906, when they moved to Traynor, Sask., to take up farming.

Stuart will call to extend felicitations.â€" Van- couver, B.C., Sun of May 2. Fire Hail Progress The new village fire hall is stead- ily progressing to completion as the walls are almost finished. The vil- lage will use two thirds of the build- ing and the local hydro system the remainder. Cost of the entire struc- ture is set at $900.00 with the hydro assuming one third of this amount, making the charge against the rate- payers S1250. including $650. for the fire equipment purchased from Mea- ford. The room in the building: in which the truck is to be stored is to be insulated, thereby taking less heat during the winter to keep the equip- ment ready for instant use. Heat will be supplied by electric heaters, which will be extra from the cost of the building.

PLANTED TREES Flesherton public school grounds have been bare of trees for many years and in an effort to beautify them 2,500 small trees were secured from the government re-forestation plant near Barrie. Last Thursday the hills at the rear of the school were planted with cedar, pint, spruce and black walnut, and in a few years they should make a decided improve- ment in the background of our pub- lic school.

A FINE CATCH Every May 1st or thereabouts, the papers always manage to have a car- toon of a man with an empty creel, sneaking into a butcher shop to buy some fish so as not to arrive home empty ..handed. Here's an incident to show that such things do happen. Some of the young lads in town were fishing out at "26" hill and had reel- ed in quite a nice catch of speckled trout, when a big. shink car drew up beside them and an imposing- looking n:»n stepped out. In a flat two seconds the boys were minus the trout but richer in pocket and the man was on his way to Toronto, rev- elling in the magnificent results of his day's fishing. â€" Orangeville Ban- ner.

'O Come; Let ns Worship the Lor* in Hb Sanctuary." The following poem, compos- td by Master Emersoii Meads, 12 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Meads of Priceville, was read over C.F.R.B. recently on a program spon- .-ored by the Acme Farmers' Dairy of Toronto: I have a little Jersey cow. He!- name is Betty Lou; .A,nd when I gently call her She answers me with "moo-oo." I feed her well on clover hay. With fresh v car in her diet; Each night she fills a foaming pail, Each morning, too, she tries it. She gives to me the best of milk So pure, so fresh, so sweet; And butter and cream for every meal I'll say she can't be beat. One day I told my Jersey cow Of -Acme Farmers' Dairy; Of how they advertise their milk .â- Vs being cool and airy. Wholesome, sweet, and pure Quite fit for young and old; .\nd in a troubled voice my Betty Lou This story to me told. "I give to you my ittle friend, Milk as pure as .\cme Farmers' If you but keep it sweet and cool Why nothing then can harm it Heniodginized ',VVhy 'twas from me That Acme Farmer's got the notion To spread the cream throughout the milk As waves upon the ocean. I've always mixed my milk and cream, N'o other way can it be done; The credit, then, goes to Jersey cows And notto Midway 3541." My little cow is sad today She doesn't even moo; The city kids can have bottled milk. But I'll keep Betty Lou. So, since I have no bottle tops To help to choose the winners I'll give to them pure Jersey milk For breakfast, liuich and dinner. St. John's Unitei Church Rev. G. R. S«rTic«.
