p+ fae o s PAGE FOUR Early Morning Fire Causes Great Damage to Stock Yardsâ€" Burns Several Cattle DISASTROUS FAAE DESTROYS PROPERTY At 8.30 on Tuesday morning one of the most disastrous fires that has struck the district occurred when a fire was discovered in the Uuion Stock Yards. Just as, soon as the blaze was discovered,, an alarm was rung in and the local reels promptly _ responded. Despite their efforts and that of the other stations, who also arrived on the scene, considerable damage was done. Great clouds of smoke ascended and attracted many people and the attenâ€" dance was necessary to keep the roads clear as traffic is particularly heavy at that time of the morning. ‘The fire gained great headway and was fanned by a light morning breeze which inâ€" creased the hazardness of the blaze. Twelve cattle were burned and twelve were so severly scorched that. they were ordered destroyed. The firemen got the blaze under éentrol but not before damage to the extent of $45,000.00 had: been done. This, however, is fully covered by inâ€" surance. Owing to the many open pens, fire has a great opportunity to spread very rapidly and also it makes it very difficult to contend with. The fire was caused by an overheated tar pot which was being used by workmen who were g(fecting repairs to the north end of the yards, near the corner of Keele and St. Clair. MRS. CASTLE %AIN APPEARS ON SCREEN Mrs. Irene Castle, famous danseuse and actress, appears again on the silâ€" ver . sheet for the first time in more than two years, in the picture called "French Heels," which comes to the Oakwood, Sept. 11â€"12â€"13. _ It is difficult to estimate in advance the welcome that local theatre patrons will accord this celebrated and popuâ€" lar artiste. Suffice to say that the Oakwood theatre will no. doubt be crowdef to capacity. In her first apâ€" pearancte in this city, Mrs. Castle has always been favored with capacity audiences, whether appearing in perâ€" son or on the screen, and it is safe to assume, therefore, that "French Heels" will draw record houses at each perâ€" formance. § The story of "French Heels" introâ€" duces Mrs. Castle in a series of whirlâ€" wind events. She dances, rides, swims, and wears a number of stunning wraps ind gowns that will no doubt be, the myy of every woman in town. The rction of the story takes place in New York City and in the lumber camps of the far notrth.. It is a modern story, written especially for the star, and is said to provide her with some of the best opportunities of her career. § Pupils prepared for University Examinations STUDIOQ: 195 John Street, Weston Phone 504 W lakes First Public Appearance in Period of Two Years MAMLSE . â€" !!Wes’ron DairqE'P roducts ! iThis is BOYS AND GIRLS UNDER 14â€"ADMISSION FREE SPECIAL CAR SERVICE LA CROSSE Kathleen G.

Goals to count on the round. Play rain or shine. Cattlé Destroyed Fully Insured ST. SIMONS vs. WESTON SENIOR FINAL The Australian pair consisting of Pat O‘Hara Wood and Gerald Pattéerâ€" son defeated the United States reâ€" presentatives, William Tilden and Vinâ€" cent Richards on Saturday at the Forâ€" est Hills Courts in the Davis Cup matches for the world‘s championship. The two Australians played invincible tennis and at times played the Ameriâ€" cans off their feet. The scores were 6â€"4, 6â€"0, 6â€"8.. Although the Amerâ€" icans showed flashes ~of speed and played brilliant tennis at times, their playing did not measure up to that of the Australians.‘ The single matches were scheduled to be played on Tuesâ€" day and the Americans have to win oneâ€"match to retain the cup, while the Australians have, to win both to take the cup with them. The season record thus far shown how consistently these men have been in every game. ‘Thus Weston can folâ€" low this team as they have been sucâ€" cessful. _St. Simons team are the holdâ€" ers of the other group title. ‘They have some stars and some new men. . All have shown their skill and thus proven their rghts to represent the groupe. It will be a game that will be worth seeing and the people of Weston will follow their team. Juvenileâ€"Midgetâ€"Bantam Chances ‘Those who have followed the game state that the chances of the midgets are very bright for the honors. Unâ€" der the coaching of Harry Jennings, these boys have been working very carefully all season. The manner in which they defeated their various opâ€" ponents shows, that theyâ€" have class. The boys are all clean and playing the game under good hands. The Juvenâ€" ies will have a more difficult task to perform. Thus far they have met all opposition with ease. It is, how? ever, reported that there is a team in Brampton that is going strong. In fact some of the senior Brampton team are eligible to play Juvenile. The local boys will be there, however, when the game is played. The Bantam team is unknown to most of the followers of the game. It has, however, some sturdy boys. These little fellows are making a bid for the honors and many are looking forward to ttheir success. in short, Weston has in the making some hundred good lacrosse players who: will be a credit to this town of the citizens will support the team and give them the necessary leadership. Town Well Advertised The success of the teams means that the town is being well advertised. With all the demands that are being made to carry these, teams through the groupe there is very little left to enter the semiâ€"finals. The younger teams need support financially. The senior team will need th support if they go in quest of the Allan Cup. Will the townspeople see the teams through. There certainly should be an effort made.by all to have our teams go as far as they can. Finances should not hold any one of the teams up in their quest for the supreme honors. As these matters come very quickly upon the players, provisions should be made to meet the expected. We would like to hear the feeling of the town on these matters. Send us your exâ€" pression and we‘ll see that it is made public. It might be the means of solvâ€" ing the situation. Remember that your support is needed for all the teams and that this is a town matter. Build up the community by supporting the community, interest LADY DFL Very Interesting Address Given on Work to Be Carried On in the City Schools At the Kiwanis Club Luncheon, held in the Sunnyside pavillion this afterâ€" noon, Miss Palin, late of the Institute for the Deaf and Dumb at Brockville, delivered a very instructive and enâ€" lightening. address on the work as carried on by that school. Miss Palin has lately come to the city school and will teach the art of reading, writing and talking to those pupils affliected in that manner.‘ In outlining the work of the Institute, she mentioned just how that work is done and how it is communicated, to the pupil. Patience plays a great part in this work and by dint of hard work only can the best results be obtained. A little girl of five was entertainâ€" ing the callers while her mother was getting ready. Oné of the ladies reâ€" marked to the other, with a signiâ€" ficant look, "Not very preâ€"tâ€"tâ€"y," spelling the last word. “‘No?’ said the child quickly, "but awful sâ€"mâ€"aâ€"râ€"t." "I want to look at a pair of, eyeâ€" glasses," said the young woman with a determined air. ©¥Yes, madam," said the optician. "While visiting in the country I made a very painful blunder which I never want to repeat." _ "Indeed! Mistook a stranger for an acquhintance, perhaps?" _ "No, not exactly that. I mistook a bumble bee for a blackberry." PAINFUL MISTAKE LIVERS 6000 ABDRESS TENNIS Songs and songs and more songs enlivened the proceedings when the local Kiwanis Club held their weekly luncheon in the Sunnyside Pavilion on Thursday last. Kiwanian Will White produced an entirely new song sheet which contained many humorous parâ€" odies and which was at once adopted by the members. The weekly attendâ€" ance prize was won by Russell G. Mercer and which was donated by Ed. Elliott . The Club was graced by the attendance of six visitors who were formally welcomed by Russell Wallace. @n Sept. 12th it is the intention of the Riverdale Club to hold a Ladies‘ Night and which will also be their charter night. All members and their wives are invited. Ben Hay will give a talk on the next convention which is to be held this month at Windsor. The local Club will hold a Ladies‘ Day on Sept. 14th. As the Federation Community service have asked the Kiwanis Club to take charge of the West End, the coâ€" operation of those who are directly in touch will be asked for in order to facilitate the procedure and progress with the least possible delay. Splendid Address Given by Local Member on Stock Yard Busiâ€" nessâ€"Interesting Items After a very successful golf tournaâ€" ment, which was held recently at the Weston Golf and Country Club, the prizes were presented to the winners by Mr. E. Swith of the Canadian Card Co._ In making the presentations, he gave a short account of the event. The first prize was won by Fred Topâ€" ping and which was a handsome golf bag. The second prize of a half dozen golf balls was won by Sam | Bishop. The third prize was won by Ed. Elliott being a driver and a jigger, while Jerâ€" ry Smith came through with the fourth being a pair of golf shoes. One of the most enlightening adâ€" dresses that has been rendered was given by Fred Topping when he spoke on the stock yard business. From the introduction to the finis, this address proved most interesting and Mr. Topâ€" ping held his audience throughout pointing out some very important feaâ€" tures which were educative and inâ€" structive. In the first instance he pointed out that the Union . Stock Yards do not buy or sell; that is done by agents. These agents are at the yards as representatives either for themselves or someâ€"concern. They are experienced in their work and it is possible for them to tell within a few cents of the actual value of the meat when dressed. All that the farmer has to do is to send the stock in and he gets his cheque by return of mail. A few years ago, all this was done by the city market which was located down town, but owing to the prevailâ€" ing conditions at that time, a great deal of dissatisfaction resulted. It was the custom to\ let by tender, the privilege of selling feed. This naturâ€" ally led up to the, state where feed was of very poor quality and the yards were allowed to fall into deâ€" lapidation. This can be readily underâ€" stood as the onus of caring for the surroundings was not assumed by the successful applicant. As a result, a body of men formed a company and which afterwards became a limited company. They located in the West End where they were given reduced taxes, although it was necessary . to buy a large tract of Aand. At the present time thirty acres are operated, twentyâ€"five being under _ cover with accommodation â€"for eight thousand eattle, six thousand hogs and six to seven hundred sheep. In 1900, 455,527 head passed through these yards, while in 1921 the total was 1,015,281, showâ€" ing a remarkable increase. This firm is not a monopoly but is covered by an Act of Parliament and is under the supervision of the Department of Agricuiture, who has an inspector on the job all the time in order to regiiâ€" late the buying and selling. ‘I‘he charge for selling stock is about one per cent, and while this may seem small, the revenue is taken care of by the tremendous volume of business of the big concerns. The remarkable feature of the acâ€" tivities in the buying and selling and which is all done by a nod of the head. Certain customs prevail in lines of business and this is one here. About seventy million dollars changed hands last year and not one law suit resulted. Business is strictly adhered to and trouble avoided. Day after day there is a steady stream ‘of stock pouring into the yards and the buyers have no need to worry over the supply and which is always adequate for the demand. All the heavy stock is shipped overseas and the meat which is consumed here is what is called Baby Beef. If the heavy stock were sold here it would mean that in the event of asking for a steak, one would get a steak weighâ€" ing about four pounds and the same thing applies to a roast. The growth of the packing houses is noteworthy. Twenty years ago only about three hundred men were emâ€" ployed in that capacity, while today there are over four thousand followâ€" ing that line. It used to be that the small merchant would do his own slaughtering and then peddle the meat from door to door. The packing houses met that system and today they can always undersell â€"the old system by making a profit on the by=proâ€" ducts. Also all meats are inspected by a government inspector and there is no chance of inferior goods, neither goods that are infected. In the course of his remarks> he mentioned that there were no grounds for the charge that Canadian cattle were subject to pleuroâ€"pneumonia. We want an equal chance, he said. The embargo does not apply to cattle for immediate kill. Cattle shipped from the West had to be fattened after arâ€" rival, but as "immediate . arrival" meant within ten days after arrival, this stopped the influx of Canadian cattle. The cheapest way for us is to let the grain walk off the field, WAWANS HOLD WEEQY LNSHECN The Packing Houses THE TIMES AND GUIDE, WESTON Presents Prizes Litigation Small Gives Address Cattle Embargo New Yards No Shortage which is to fatten our own and thereâ€" by get a better price. Also the byâ€" products are very profitable and are also increasing in value. In: concluding his remarks, Mr. Topâ€" ping mentioned that the advent of the new waterways will prove a boon to the cattle trade as it will then be possible to ship chilled beef overseas. This means that owing to the shorter distance to Europe than from either South America or New Zealand, we will then be enabled to ship chilled meats while those other countries will still be forced to ship frozen meats. The latter, of course, are not so marâ€" ketable as the former. It was intimated just prior to the close of the meeting that the forthâ€" coming «onvention would be held at Windsor and that great preparations are being made. The Prince Edward Hotel has one hundred rooms for th accommodation of the delegates an§ their wives. Each room has a bath and also that arrangements are being made to accommodate many more. It has been truly said, time and tide wait for no man, and just as truly can be said, the old and useless building must give way to the modern business house of the present day. One of these old land marks to fall under the wreckers ruthless hand is the "Monâ€" treal House" in Woodbridge. ~Situated in a good business centre, it has served its day and generation well, but is now unfit for the work demanded in that location: Some time ago, the Royal Bank purchased‘ the land and intend to erect a new Bank, in order to take care of the increased business of the community. The present building was built some 70‘ years ago as a dwelling house and general store and up till twenty years ago, served the public in that capicity. Kalla Pasha Wears It in Wallace Reid‘s Picture, "The \Dictator" Enough gold braid and ornamentaâ€" tion to stretch from Hollywood to San Pedro, a distance~ of about thirty miles, it is said, glittered on the uniâ€" forms and costumes of the hundreds of people who take part in the scenes of the new Paramount picture, ‘‘The Dictator," in which Wallace Reid stars at the Oakwood, Sept. 14â€"15â€"16; Kalla Pasha, playing a South American genâ€" eral; Theodore Kosloff, in a handsome uniform as a revolutionist â€" officer; Alan Hale as a dandy who wease fancy Spanish garb, several extra generals and lesser officers and a host of solâ€" diers were all emblazoned with fancy braid. It was declared that the city‘s supply of gold braid, bullion fringe and gimp was nearly exhausted during the filming of this picture. MAMY AGGIOENTS â€"â€"OVER WEEK END One More Still is Discovered and Taken by Policeâ€"Truck Breaks the Wires While crossing Campbell Ave. .on Thursday last, Chas. Sumato, aged three and a half years, was struck and knocked down by auto No. 9â€"549. and which belongs to the Dundas« Motor Sales. The little lad was taken to his home by P. C. Stewart where it was found that he was suffering from concusions of the knee and minor chest injuries. The driver was not held. Another still was seized when on Wednesday last at 3 p.m., P. C. Bruce entered the home of Valetnar Tomik and seized a still that was in the house. The still was apparently not in operaâ€" tion as no contents were found, but a charge was laid for a breach of the Inland Revenue. A hydro pole was snapped off when a truck owned by Walter Hill of 2 Hillsdale Ave., was left on St. Claire Ave. It appears that the break was on but the truck started off on a small decline with the result that it turned into the ecurb where it came in contact with a (hydro pole which resulted in on but t decline into the with a the snay caught fire on J action saved the fore damage to had been done. As a result of a high top on the truck No..C5â€"439, and owned by the C. A. Ward Cartage Go. and driven by E. Everingham, it caught the low banging wires on Evans Ave., with the result that they were torn down and also a hydro pole was broken off. The accident occurred in front of Nos. 7â€"9â€"11 Evans Ave. "Come right on in, Sambo," the farmer called out. ‘"He won‘t hurt you. You know a barking dog never bites." While driving past the corner . of Keele and Dundas streets on Tuesday morning, J. R. Chamberlain, of Bolton, Ont., turned sharply into the curb and pinned two men against a post. Mr. S. Low, being painfully hurt, was taken to the office of Dr. Jones, who, upon examination, found that he sufâ€" fered a badly sprained knee. Mr. John Kelly was less seriously hurt and was able to proceed on his way. Mr. Kelly lives at 65 Florence St. and Mr. Low at 109 Blackthorne Ave. "Sure, boss, Ah knows dat," reâ€" plied the cautious colored man, "but Ah don‘t know how soon he‘s going to stop barkin‘."
