While the familiar pre- sence of Mr. Stone is missed, there is a worthy successor at the head of the Mathematical Department in the person of Mr. E. J. Spinks, B.A., who has had several year's experience in High School work. One of the claims made by the school is that the staff consists of ex- perienced teachers who have ved themselves capable and Righ hly successful. Parents are urged to send their young people who have passed the entrance examination to Port Perry High 'Schoel, where they can be well fitted for the teaching and other professions, or given a good general education. - The Agri- stra and Household Science ents are unsurpassed in the Province, and constitute most useful and most attractive features of the school. ee) (pen. .

They do not want to go on the land, would be useless there if they did, and have dif- ferent standards, when they can said to have standards or ideals at all, and can never become the kind of nation builders we need. They crowd the city and are tax on our resources, drive our work- men out of their jobs and when they get any money send it back to Europe. A family from any part .of Great Britain might be unfamiliar with our ways for while but in a surprisingly short time will be found to have adapt- ed themselves and are very sub- stantial citizens contributing to British sentiment which we need to*foster and understanding the use of the ballot and not inclined to abuse liberty by confusing it with license. Farmers wanting help next spring would be well advised to call at either of the Banks and acquaint themselves with the terms by which they can bring out a man, or a family, for nothing. ree) (Ypres. MYRTLE School re-opened on Tuesday with Mr. Michie, of Greenbank, as teacher for the ensuing year. Mr. W. J. Cook, of Myrtle Sta., is recovering from a severe at- tack of arysiplis in his face. The Whitby boys came out on Friday evening and defeated our boys in a game of ball by a score of 18-11. Our boys have not had much practice and were considerably out of tune, but under the circumstances they played a nice game, Farmers are well on with their threshing and harvesting operations.

OO Many of the residents of this district are planning to attend the Lindsay Central Exhibition, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, September 17, 18, 19, 20, to see the horse races announced, and other big at- tractions which have been book- ed. We will enjoy these special features of the Fair. maa) aire HORSE PULLING CONTEST Between 4000 and 5000 people watched the pulling contest at Regina Fair. They saw team after team reach their limit. They saw the competitors reach narrow down to thrée or four big strong teams, and finally they saw the championship de- cided and the world's record broken. Before the contest was over, the competition was the talk of the town. The winning team was a team of grade Bel- gian horses owned by Gibbs Bros., Lumsden, Sask. They pulled 8,100 pounds for 27% ft the regulation distance. They broke the world's record pre- viously made by a team of grade Percherons at Saskatoon exhi- bition of 2,900 pounds for the same distance. The new record is the equivalent of pulling a 3100 Ib steer out of a 271% foot well or to starting a load of 16.4 tons on asphalt pavement. A talk with the Gibbs Bros. revealed some interesting in- formation in regard to these famous pullers. A digest of their answers to several ques- tions that the writer asked is as follows: "The team weights 3790 Ibs., one is seven and the other eight years old. They are both sired by a pure bred Bel- gian stallion and are the pole team on an elevating grader. We are railroad contractors and acts; | a1] kinds perience, for consf have found tion work, we superior to the Belgian. have weight, good heart, are level headed. The driver the team is Stogher Kurek, who came from Poland when a boy, {has been with us for 14 years, and is one of the best teamsters in this province." It was a treat to see this team down to work and so interesting were the finals for the champion ship that the grandstand was fil led to capacity. As soon as the championship was won and the record broken by the Gibbs team the management of the exhibi- tion posted $1,000 for a special test with the team of grade Per- chedons owned by R. B. McLeod, Saskatoon, holders of the pre- vious world's record. Mr. Me- Leod's team was immediately ex- pressed down to Regina and a contest between the two teams was the main attraction before the grandstand the following evening. It was a wonderful event. The McLeod team of grade Per- cherons won the contest, pulling 3,100 Ibs. for 181% feet, where- as the team of Belgians owned by Gibbs Bros could barely start the 3,100 hs. The world's re- cord is held by the latter team because of their wonderful pull the previous night. Next year there should be some wonderful pulling events. We can expect to see some re- cords broken, but for the time being the team of Belgians holds the world's horse pulling record. There is to be a load drawing contest at the Port Perry Fair, on Friday, September 12th, and it is expected that this new at- traction will be very popular. We have heard several saying that they have teams that can easily outdraw the common run of horses. We shall see on Fair Day. -- OY (He THE MISSING IINK "Sis won't be able to see you tonight, Mr. Brown," said her little brother; "she's had a ter- rible accident." "Is that so? ed?"
