III N‘ nr profit .‘O‘ wll ing who're The regular weekly meeti of the First Durham Tr00p was eld for the first time in the old Masonic Hall. There was not as large an at- tendance as there should have been, owing to the fact that the High School was playin Mount Forest High the same nig t, and some of the Scouts were on the hockey team. However. Doctor Alex. Bell contin- ued his course in First Aid instruc- tion; and those who attended re- ceived some very useful and helpful information on poisons and how to treat cases of poisoning. A Scout Is Loyal Loyalty not only means loyalty to King and Country, but also loyalty to your town, your school, your troop. your scoutmaster, your pa- trol-leader and your fellow scouts. When somebody passes a sneering remark about your troop or the Boy Scout movement, or about your fellow-scouts, don’t stand with a sickly smile on your face and let him get away with it. Tell him that you are a scout, and when he is making fun of. the scout movement, he is making fun of you. Too many fellows haven’t the spine to stick by what they profess and to stand up for their fellows. The secret of the success of any movement is that the followers of the. movement are loyal to it. They will not stand by and hear it ridiculed. The same applies to scouting. Also. I may say, the same thing applies to your schOOI, and your town, particularly when you leave. Durham and go out into the world. Do not be afraid to let it he known that this is your home town. If anybody makes fun of you. tell them that some of the. best men in the country came from Dur- ham and from the County of Grey. You fellows will think I am preach- ing :1 sermon. but the fact is that I have often seen men that. hadn’t the nerve to stand by their guns when it meant taking a little ridicule and maybe some abuse. and I should be deeply grieved if any fellows of the First Durham Tr00p of the Ba- den-Powell Boy Scouts was ashamed of his patrol-loader. his town or his school. Once more Mount Forest Troop were at the top of the score when1 the final hell rang. They put it overi the Durham Trooh quite handily on Saturday afternoon in the rink here. by a 2-1 seore. The local troop was unfortunate in being without the services of its star centre man. 08- ear Moon. Moon had his lip cut in Mount Forest. and was again injured on Thursday night in the game be- tween the Durham and Mount For- est High School teams. As a result he decided not to play again until the lip had healed up. “Dode” Vol- let. who usually plays on tho wing, was also laid up. As a result. Dur- ham had a considerably weakened team. Bill \Vilson played a whale of a good game. though, He bored right into the Mount Forest aggregation and was always dangerous. “Deed” Vollett. although light, is a niftv little stick-handler and as smooth as silk.

(Owen Sound Sun-Times) The citizens of Walkerton, Hano- ver and Durham have been endea- voring to persuade the C.P.R. to re- sume the old time twice-nâ€"day pas- senger service on the branch of the conmmy linking up at. Snugeen branch with the Owen Sound branch. Representatives from each of the towns met Superintendent McKiIIOp of this division of the C.P.R. at Han- over recently. These representatives endeavored to show that an electric storage bat- tery car or a gasoline car of modern type could be operated on the branch on the full passenger schedule at lower cost and with greatly im. proved service. The have learned of the success whic has attended the Operation of these cars in many parts of Ontario, and believe that it is the solution of the problem of that line of the C.P.R. According to the report, Mr. Mc- Killop did not give any encourage- ment to the delegates. He told them the company was losing $10,000 a year on the passenger business on the Walkerton branch, the average number of passengers per trip be- ing only 14. He also passed out the information that an electric storage battery car would cost in the neigh- borhood of $100,000 including coach, charging stations, etc. This pessimistic view of the sit- uation does not appear to be jus- titled. The Walkerton branch of the C.P.R. passes through a Splendid ag- ricultural territory and serves on the. distance of 37 miles, three im- portant towns. There is no reason in the world why the company can- not secure its share of the business if modern facilities and service are given. The Company is not at a disadvantage in the matter of dis- tance between Walkerton, Hanover and Durham to Toronto and other large centres. It is possible that if a storage hat- tery cars were used that this, with charging stations would c031. $100,000. But it is generally under- stood that for a line distant from large terminals. 3 modern gasoline car is the prOper type. This would cut the cost. because it would not require extensive charging stations, and the cost of operating would pro- hahly be less than the electric car. Equipment of this type can be han- dled by two men, whereas the pres- ent service of Saugeen requires a full train crew. CH. WALKER'I'ON LINE Even an investment of $100,000 in changing the system would not be out of the way if it would elimin- ate the C..P.R. loss of $10,000 a year on the service and replace it with a profit. Undoubtedly the operation of such a car on full schedule would eliminate this loss and would result in “a profit. One of the most serious drawbacks of the. service on the Walkerton branch is the fact that it completely fails to provide passenger service to the north part of the County of Grey. A passenger leaving Owen Sound. Chatsworth or Markdale on the afternoon train for Durham, Hanover or \Valkerton, is under the necessity of a five-hour wait at Sau- geen junction. Passengers from the south of the country who are com- ing this way, are up against the same delay. People will not tolerate a wait or this kind under modern conditions. and the traffic is driven to motor cars. A solution of this matter would be the installation of a gasoline driven modern motor car on the Walkerton branch and have this car run through to Owen Sound and inter- mediate points. In the course of a very short time. such a service would be very largely patronized. The trip could be made during the time. the car is compelled to wait at Saugeen Junction and with little increase in expense except the fuel reguired to operate the car. .‘__ _ The C.P.R. can work out a system whereby such a service will not on- ly provide great service to this part of the country but will eliminate the loss they are now making the in operation of their Walkerton branch. The Walkerton, Hanover and Durham people have Opened up a question which is of great im- portance to both the peOple of this district and the travelling public. They should not allow the matter to drOp. but arrange a further con- ference with Superintendent McKil- NOT A BAD HOLD-UP (Wingham Advance-TimeS) We lost what appeared to be one of the best pieces of thrilling news which we have been privile ed to write up for many moons. w en it was learned that the reported hold- up at the C. NR. depot on Monday did not materialize. Chief of Police Allen is also weighmaster, and it seems that some one from the C. .\'.R. phoned him to come up and weigh some hogs as they were be- ing held up. The chief heard the last part of the conversation more clearly than the rest and hurriedly made his way to the depot. The news spread like wild. and Mr. Burg- man and his stat! had the sympathy of all who heard it. for at least a few minutes. The first to break the correct news to Chief Allen was Mr. Hutton who met him and casually remarked that he was needed at the weigh scales. HAS 1,650 IAIBS Grey County has a new form of specialized iculture. Richard and Daniel ite, whose “ll-acre farm is located on the third conces- sion of Euphrasia Township, near the Town of Thornhury, are engaged in a lamb-feeding scheme of such pr0portions that it ranks among the largest agricultural enterprises in this large country. No less than 1,650 lambs are now feeding on their farm, Richard looking after 1,100, while his brother has the remainder in Links In. Gained from m to 30 Pounds Bach Under mam Plan. During the month of November, last year, Richard White attended the Moose Jaw lamb sale, and there he purchased six double-decked cars of lambs containing 1,550 animals. To these were added another hun- dred obtained from breeders in Northern Ontario. The housing of the animals is a simple matter, quite extensive but practical and not expensive. The en- closure is on the east side of the barn and is about 180 feet by 80 feet. Around three sides is an eight- foot fence of poles. Between this wall and a wire fence, pea straw is placed, while the roof 18 also built of poles and extends from the top of the eight-foot fence. The centre of the enclosure is an open court in which the lambs are fed from 30 or more specially constructed 12-foot feeding racks. The'grea'ta'dvantage in the indus- try is that the lambs will consume large quantities of tht cheapest foods, and White Bro hers have made a contract for the hulls and light green seed discharged in hull- ing and cleaning sweet clover and alfalfa seed. This feed, with ap- proximately three pounds of turnips t‘cd whole, and alfalfa hay make up the rest of the feed. Up to the pres- ent the 1,650 lambs have consumed six or seven tons of hay, 300 bushels of'oats and turnips from nine acres. ~v‘vâ€" w- v I . IIVIII IIIIIU “U100. [finder this method of feeding. Messrs. White find that their lambs have gained from 20 to 30 pounds each, and further gains are being made daily. Since the animals were purchased, the mortality has been only one per cent, and considering the long journey from Western Can- ada and the four-mile drive between the station and the enclosure, this loss seems_yery small. Already Messrs. White have been offered a price very much in advance of the purchase values and by one of the largest abattoirs in the pro- vince. The gains made by the lambs will enlarge the returns from the investment. Since the lambs come from West- ern stock, they show strong dashes of Merino breeding, but they are typey and will “dress out" well on the rail. Next year Messrs. White prepose to dip their lambs, and with this done, it is expected that the losses will still further be reduuced. â€"v . \-’\.\.“V\; The success of the enterprise en- tered into by these young farmers, involving as it does a large amount of capital as well as capable man- agement, is looked upon with inter- est by all interested in agriculture in Grey County: THE BACHELOR Wlho listens to my pain and woes?
