Ontario cheese is quoted two and a half cents higher than British Columbia and one and one half cents higher than Alberta on the Vancouver market. Since the incorporation of Prank-lord in 1921 from a village to that )i a town, the municipality t;ade great strides forward. Her population has increased from 750 :o over 1000._ Chicken stealing is to be made punishable by imprisonment instead of by fine. The recent outrages in the Beeton district prove that rural communities require greater protection from the law. According to the figures of Assessor Hugh Cameron, of Cobourg, the town shows a slight decrease in population this year from last year. Last year's figure was 5,382, and this year it is 5.379. In 1925 the population was 5,595. The other day a man in Annapolis, Mid., was sent to prison for sixty days for killing a bootlegger. A short time ago, under the Baumes law, another man was sent to prison for life for stealing seven cents. The law of the United States if fearful and wonderful in its operation. HARRY CCLTON'S BARRED ROCK HEN MAKES NEW RECORD. IN OTTAWA CONTEST The bulletin announcing the results in the last year's egg laying contest at Ottawa contains the following new record made by a Barred Rock hen owned by Mr. Harry Colton of Colborne. An Over 300 Egg Bird "A long looked for event is able to be recorded with the close of this contest.. After eight years of contest work at Ottawa the records now contain an over the 300 egg bird. During the last period it became possible for a bird to reach this popular mark. The mark was reached and passed--for Barred Rock No. 180 by putting in a perfect week as her final effort •i-.rricd egg tal 303. Barred Rock No. 180 belongs Harry Colton df Colborne, Ont., and her record stands 272.2 points for 303 eggs." NOBLE WORK BEING DONE BY ONTARIO CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETIES In reading the thirty-third report (1926) of Ontario Children's Aid Societies one is deeply impressed by the noble work being done for the neglect-en and dependent children in the Pro-It is pointed out in the introduction of the report till at the experience and knowledge gained during this long period is incalculable, but despite this ther are ever new problems demanj-ing solution. During these years the' Children's Aid Societies of the Province have had placed under their care a total of 26,557 children and they have touched effectively the lives of probably ten times as many more. For years the Children's Aid Societies and industrial schools performed the work of dealing with the neglected dependent and delinquent children of the province, and then two acts were placed on the statute book which are practically extensions and co-relatives of the Children's Protection Act, under which the Children's Aid Societies do their work. These new Acts are: For the protection of the Children of Unmarried Parents, and respecting the Adoption of Children. The "Unm'arried Parents' Act" is for the assistance of unmarried mothers who may (bring suit through the Provincial officer against the putative father of their child, and if his responsibility is established, he is assessed a certain amount per week, or a lump sum, which is used for the maintenance of the child. The first apparent effect of this legislation is that the father of a child born out of wedlock is made to bear a share with the mother of responsibility for their wrong-doing, and the public does not, as in the past bear the entire cost tor the rearing of these children or-pbanges and charitable institutions. The Act for Adoption of Children has the effect of quieting the apprehensions of some foster parents who have taken children with the intention of rearing them as their own, and who have constant fears that their child will be taken from them. When the child is legally adopted to them, these parents may go ahead with their plans for the future, the same as they would if the child had been born to them. The number of children made wards of the societies by order of the courts during 1926 were 809, of which number 620 were Protestant and 189 Roman Catholic. In addition to a total of 26,577 children being made wards since 11893, 65,000 ehildre " indirectly provided' for at The number of children visited and teported upon during 1926 was 6,819, of whom 5,291 were Protestants, and 898 Catholics. The Roman Catholic children are under the supervision of Mr. William O'Connor. Part of his duties for the year was reporting upon 750 children who were personally seen and a number of special cases reported upon together with general information regarding local societies, shelters, etc. In doing this work he travelled 6.000 dies by rail and 2000 miles by motor. The report goes on to deal with settlements, court orders, appeals, collections, etc., conveying to one's mind something of the greatness of the work these societies are doing to save unfortunate children from a life of degradation and poverty and setting out the path leading to good citizen- Bargains in Men's Winter Needs Get readjy for winter, men -- buy your outfits at "The Little Store with the Big Stock" at lowest prices.

Away ahead in Heavy Rubbers We lead in Fine Shoes and Overshoes General Motors of Canada, Oshawa, the largest manufacturers of automobiles in Canada, have decided that the best results from advertising l£e obtained by using the weekly papers. R. S. McLaughlin, president of the Company, makes the following statement: "I believe in the country weekly. I believe that no printed matter in Canada is more thoroughly read, or has more influence than the pages of these home town papers. I believe that this campaign will tell the story of General Motors of Canada to many thousands of people who do not now realize the importance to Canada of this great Canadian Institution and the reasons why General Motors cars are such outstanding If you have anything to sell, or want to j buy anything--try our Condensed Ads.j. ship. md Mackinaw Coats CANADA Application of the Produced-in-Can-ada principle to the purchase of Christmas gifts is being urged on all its mjembers by the Canadian Manufacturers' Association. A special card is being prepared for early distribution directing the attention of the 4,200 members of the organization to the desirability of purchasing articles produced in Canada for gifts, instead of imported articles and suggesting that this policy be recommended to all employees of Canadian factories and their families. It is pointed out that 2,500,000 people in Canada live on the wages paid in Canadian factories and that if all these ask for "Produced-in-Canada" goods between now and Christmas, a tremendous demand will be created. HOW APPLES ARE BOUGHT (Farmers' Sun) The powers that be having decreed that the period November 14-19 shall be set apart for the observance of National Apple' Week, it behoves every one at that time to do honour to a staple product which, despite being the most popular and widely distributed of all fruits, is, nevertheless, the most shamefully treated A recent city survey revealed what was already known in a general way, and that is that city women have practically no knowledge of the different varieties of apples. Most of them buy an "eating" apple or a "cooking" apple and let it go at that. A \ague notion prevails that "cooking" apples are green, and "eating" apples are red. That, in a general way, seems to indicate the extent of the intelligence which is displayed in the buying of apples by city purchasers. The farmer may feel sorry for the city buyer who doesn't know a Wealthy from a Mcintosh Red or a Golden Russett, but the fact that such ignorance exists is the farmers' loss,, and an early attempt should be made tc rectify it. Most city families buy only sufficient apples to supply immediate needs, buying by the box or barrel apparently being a thing of he past. We learn also from the survey under review that twelve apples time is the average city pur-although many buy in units of six or less. Cooking apples, it ap-lears, are bought by the pound, the isual quantity being three pounds. That sort of buying clearly accounts for the wide spread between what t»e farmer receives and what the general public pays. FRED W. HAWKINS Phone 47 King Street Colborne Real Estate for Sale Local police were warned by the Oshawa authorities that counterfieit United States ten dollar bills were being circulated in various towns and cites throughout Ontario by two men operating in a motor car bearing a Michigan license plate. The police claim to have the number of the car and have informed the authorities a-long the international border to be on the lookout for it. The majority of the bogus notes, crudely out of thin brittle paper, have been passed on merchants and garagemen. The Oshawa police have several of these bills in their posession, the secial numbers of which are printed upside down. Dringing liquor in a place which has been convicted under the Liquor Control Act is a very unwise procedure, as a man learned in Oshawa Police Court, when he was fined $100 and costs with the option of one month in jail. The illegal action took place in the house of another man who had been convicted of selling liquor. Fining motorists for speeding in Port Hope and vicinity is now a daily duty of Magistrate Campbell. Buffalo, Oct. 31.--.Sentenced to-day to life imprisonment for stealing 112 chickens. Edward Orchard of Rochester may get a pardon--if he and Judge Rowe are both alive--at the end of the next ten years. "Under the Baumes law," Judge Rowe said. "I must send you to prison for life as a fourth offender,, but I'll keep my eye on you in Auburn Prison and if I am alive and you are alive at the end of ten years I am going to ask the Governor to pardon you."
