ANNUAL STOCK The annual stock 'judging competiâ€" tion of the York County J. F. L. A. was held on Friday, February 28th. The competition took place in the vicinity of â€"Newmarket, and the classes of stock being good, caused a very keen competition. There were fifty boys from all parts of the county in the contest. The Thisâ€" tletown class turned out in the largâ€" est numbers, but every class was reâ€" presented. There was a special prize of ten dollars in books or goods givâ€" en to the four highest boys representâ€" ing one class. Some of the classes did not have four poys to represent them, so fell down on this account. The prizes awarded were as follows: Mr. Leslie Gardhouse, Weston,won the Geo. S. Henry Cup, which was held last year by Mr. Herbert Kane, Cormâ€" ley. This cup is open for competition by any boy, who has taken the short course in\agriculture, The Unionville team took the prize for the four boys, totalling highest number of points, with Clark Young, Hagerman; Oscar Cox, Todmorden; Harvey Collard, Unionâ€" ville; Alvin Frisby, Unionville, repreâ€" senting this class. Richmond Hill team stood second and Thistletown team third. The following were winâ€" ners of the prizes open to those who have not been on a stock judging team, as follows: R. Tier. Music was furnished by the Lambton quartette and Mr. Sellowey, bass soloist. J. D. Evans acted as chairman as Dr. Godfrey was unable to attend. Mr. G.

Cinders are being placed on the crossings and sidewalks so that a person can travel in comfort without carrying the real estate of the town away. It will take a lot of time to cover all the streets but this will be done in time. This was one of the most hotly conâ€" tested competitions that has been held in the county. â€" "The Romance of Old Bill," as reâ€" lated in the film of The Better ‘Ole," is a stirring story containing a strong vein of humor and a message to all who see it. Old Bill is played . by Charles Rock, in whose experienced hands Bairnsfather‘s character is adâ€" mirably presented. The striking charm about these master studies is that they are so thoroughly unstudied. The charâ€" acters reekâ€"that is a sound word to use about the trenchesâ€"of truth. We see Old Bill, that philosopher of the trenches; Alf and Bert, whose lifo studies in khaki, the comedy . of the uniform. Khaki and cashinations is the motto for "The Better ‘Ole." It is better than any play. Only a perâ€" centage of people have seen the legiâ€" timate version. The screen version begins with a prologue in which we vision Rouget de L‘Isle singing the "Marseillaise," we see the Three Musâ€" keteers of Dumas, ‘"one for three,three for one." These dissolve into our modern trio of warriorsâ€"Old Bill, Alf and Bert. We see them in their dugâ€" out, making merry in billets behind the lines, then off to Blighty and their welcome ‘ome. REAL ENTERTAINMENT IN BAIRNSFATHER PLAY ‘"The Better ‘Ole" will be seen at the Connaught. JUDGING COMPETITION xz CyeU yh "an ISLINGTON There seems to be a general idea around that the function of a paper is to slam everyone right and left. This is not the case. It is the duty of the paper to give to the public what occurs at the time of writing. This has been the policy of the Advertiser and will continue to be the policy. The public does not want to read of the small petty matters. They want the news of the district. It is our enâ€" deavour to give this news as it is We do. not allow our personal opinions to enter into the matters of the reâ€" ports. In the second place the funcâ€" tion of a paper is to give the comâ€" munity ideas to better the district. All improvements that are for the betterâ€" ment of the village will be given space in this paper.. No matter that has come up for the advancement of the interest of New Toronto has been left out. It is our object to give all the publicity that we can on such items. In our efforts to further this, we have placed a local correspondent in New Toronto. We want the citizens to give every assistance to our local represenâ€" tative. As you are in the position of knowing details send them on through the paper to the public. This will be the means of developing the village. Don‘t grind up the edges too sharp, rather let all the efforts be to create a union; to this end we offer our columns. Use them to your best adâ€" vantage. There is a future for New Toronto; it now, lies in the hands of the citizens. If you are disposed you can unite all forces into one strong union that will bring about a greater New Toronto. This is what you ought to use theâ€"paper for. Try it and give our local correspondents your assistâ€" ance. Kindly allow space in your valuable paper for the following public letter. I understand that there is a serious movement on foot to erect both in Mimico and New Toronto memorials in honor of our boys who served in the great war. Arches and monuâ€" ments are no doubt ornamental, but otherwise are useless. Cold and stateâ€" ly they stand. On their sides, carved in hard stone, we may read the names of those we love. Undoubtedly in the future they will become familiar landâ€" marks, but I wonder how many of our citizens thirty or fortyâ€"years hence will give a thought to the heroes long since dead.. It is questionable whether we could find one out of every ten who could on the spur of¢ the moment give a singlé names written on those cold, unsympa}tthetic stones. In wanâ€" dering through the streets of our loâ€" cal communitieés any night of the week, have you ever noticed the groups of young people congregated on the corner, in the vacant lots or before the illuminated store fronts, and posâ€" sibly if you get near enough to hear, your ear would be shocked at the wording of the conversation indulged in. Have you ever stopped to think that these are the younger brothers and sons of the men who have laid down their lives in the service of their country? Which think you would our soldier boys choose if they could be asked to see their names written on the sides of useless mounds of stone or marble, or to know that their memâ€" ory was perpetuated in the form of a memorial that would be of practical benefit to. their . beloved . younger brothers and sons. . Do you think that a club‘house under the auspices of the Y.M.C.A., a social centre where our young people could meet to. inâ€" dulge in healthy athletic sports, to teâ€" reive beneficial instruction and to gather together for social entertainâ€" ments, would be a lasting, worthy and dignified memorial to our beloved solâ€" dier boys. If the worthy citizens of Mimico and New Toronto would coâ€" operate, surely a suitable memorial Club House could be erected on some satisfaction halfâ€"way sight, donated for. the purpose, which, under the competent Christian guidance of some Y.M.C.A. man, would be a far more practicalbway of honoring our fallen heroes. I trust that before any serâ€" ious effort materializes the authors and lead@rs of this really noble idea will pause before it is too late and ask themselves whether a memofial of the kind herein suggested would not be a more effectual way of keepâ€" ing ever fresh the sacred memory of our loved ones in the minds of the fuâ€" ture citizens of our united communiâ€" ties. Editor The Times & Guide The . sergeant major accompanied the young officer on his rounds, in the. course of which the cook house was inspected. Pointing to a large caldâ€" ron of water just commencing to boil, the officer said: "Why does that water only boil round the edges of the copper and not in the center?" on- guard; they have their breakfast half an hour before the remainder of the company." Yours truly, E. J. B., Canadian Bom New Toronto, Mar. 4, 1919. | At the close of the fiscal year endâ€" ing March 31st, 1918, the balance to the credit of the depositors in the post office and government savings banks amounted to $56,215,088.61,an increase over the previous year of $2,687,814.82. Mr. J. L. Starkey, in charge of the cattle at the City of Cleveland Warâ€" rensville Farms, announces the sale of 18 Holstein heifers and two young bulls to the commission acting for the French government. This is the first shipment of American cattle to g0 into France and great hopes are enâ€" tertained for further trade. There is a higher form of patriotâ€" ism than nationalism. That higher form is not limited by the boundaries of one‘s country, but by a debt to mankind to safeguard the trust of civâ€" ilization. "The water around the edge, sir," replied the veteran, ‘"is for the men ITEMS OF INTEREST NEW TORONTO Among the soldiers arriving on the Empress of Britain were Sappers Arâ€" thur and Harold Steel, sons of R. W. Steel, Queen St. Their many friends are glad to have them home again and to see them looking so well. Both exâ€" pressed their appreciation of the many comforts sent to them by friends and from the Union Jack Chapter, I.O.D. E., Mimico. . A very successful evening was spent on Tuesday, February 18th, when a progressive euchre in aid of the piaâ€" no fund was held in Queen <Street school. The prizes were won by Mrs. Locke, which consisted of a lovely pair of silk stockings, and the Gentleâ€" man‘s prize of a fountain pen to Mr. Andrew Temple. Consolations going to Miss C. Barton and Mr. McKenzie, jr. The ladies of Queen st. Auxiliary took this opportunity of expressing their appreciation of Mrs. Steel‘s leadâ€" ership in Red Cross work. Miss French read a short address and Miss Leeson made the presentation of a handsome cut glass fruit bowl!. The recipient of this pleasant surprise answered in a few words of gratitude to her asâ€" sociates in the work of the past year saying this would be a reminder in the days to come of the hours spent together to come of the hours spent ers. The annual report of the Union Jack Chapter appears in another colâ€" umn of this W,{gk's issue, and is well worth reading, as it serves to give some conception of the enormous amount of work that has been accomâ€" plished by the patriotic and indefatâ€" igable ladies of the chapter. / & Poultry manure contains about 20 pounds of nitrogen, 16 pounds of phosâ€" phoric acid â€"and 9.6 pounds of potash per ton.. This high nitrogen content fits is especially well to fertilize vegeâ€" tables. Timothy is also well suited to utilize the plant food in poultry maâ€" nure. When used in connection with acid phosphate at the rate of 100 lbs. to each ton of manure, it can be used with good advantage for corn. In usâ€" ing poultry manure remember that it has about twice as much nitrogen and twice as much phosphoric acid as orâ€" dinary barnyard manure and its rate of application should be about half as many tons per acre as in the case of barnyard manure. Sprinkling Sawdust or muck or finely cut straw together with acid phosphate under the roost will have a tendency to save otherwise escape. Lime and wood ashes should never be mixed with manure of any kind. The action of the calcium will cause very serious loss of nitrogen. Statistics Old Uncle Eben Jones, of Nashville, went into a New York life insurance office and requested a policy. ‘"‘Ninetyâ€"seven come next August," said the old man, and added, testily: "If you folks will take the trouble to look up your . statistics you‘ll find that mighty few men die after theyâ€" ‘re ninetyâ€"seven."â€"Judge. ‘"Why, uncle," said the president, "you are too old for us to take, the risk..
