It is true that overseas rices have nut shown an exceptiona profit over home markets except in tease of cattle shipped from. extreme Eastern One of the outstanding results of the removal of the embargo and the consequent entrance of Cmndian store cattle on the British market has been a steadying of the local markets chrppghouthanada, says A _-I-L-.“ PAGE 4. bubblU all-yyvu- v--- _ points. nor geherally-mhave those shipped been responsible for _any b08888, and this outlet has certainly steadied the home market to a re- markable extent. Another important feature of the present situation is the increasing popularity of Canadian store cattle on tho British market. Shipments overseas to the. middle of Septemâ€" ber this year are 23.5 per cent high- er than for the same period in 1925 and 60.8 per ‘cent higher than to [‘1‘ “7L A... ;‘ (Dill. 1VOU Pu- v vâ€"â€"- the same period in 1923. When it is considered that this increase has taken place in spite of high freight rates and a lack of adequate ocean shipping facilities (due largely to the fact that there is insufficient west bound freight), no fear need be entertained regarding the popu- larity of Canadian cattle on the Bri- tish markets. A further consideration is that under present conditions in Great Britain. meat prices being high, it would appear that while grass is available, live stock is not, which would point to a continuance of high prices for beef and consequent- ly a continued demand for Canadian store cattle. The llynirs. who know that the \an'lil is getting worse all the time, are. sure that idleness and “soldier- im: on the job" are faults of the twentieth century. In the good old days. eVei-ymie worked hard and conscientiously. But there have always been lion- est workmen and the other kind just as there are today.

AMONG THE SICK Weekly VARNEY SERVICES The congregation of Varney - church held another successful an- niversary service on Sunday when his crowds turned out. to both ser- vices to listen to excellent sermons gleam-d by the Rev. J. Taylor of rham, the special preacher for the day. The services, we under- stand, are considered among the best ever held by this congregation, the special collections being well .up to any previously received at similar gatherings. On Monday evening, the usual sup- per was held in the Orange hall, fol- lowed by an excellent entertainment in the church, taken almost entire- ly by the choir of Knox United church, Durham. Rev. L. E. West was the chairman. The program consisted of an and- them by the choir, solos by Mrs.l W. H. Porter and Mrs. C. 0. Mid-‘ dlebro’, Messrs. Charles Lang and George Bell, the latter with'full chorus. A men’s sextette with full chorus was a good number, while a ladies” quartette by Mrs. Middlehro‘ and Misses Bell, Ramage and Blyth was well received. The Misses LOT,- nox of Egremont conu-ihuted a duet with their usual ability. Readings were given by Mrs. Joseph Lennox, Miss Esther Petty and Miss Margaret. Hun’ter. Rev. W. H. Smith, pastor of Knox church. Durham. gave the address of the evening. The closing number on the program was a sei- ection by the full choir, followed by the National Anthem. Though the weather was anything but pleasant. a good crowd turned out, and a most enjoyab'e. evenmg was spent. NOTED DIVINE HERE NEXT THREE WEEKS Rev. J.

PLOUGHING MATCH WAS CALLED OFF Inclement Weather and Condition of Soil Forced Promoters to Cancel Contest Tuesday. The big ploughing match of the Egremont Ploughmen’s Association advertised to take place on Tuesday of this week, had to be called off owing to inclement weather. Though extensive preparations had been made for the holding of the event the continued cold weather, snow and rain, had left the soil, especial- ly the stubble, in such a condition that going on with the contest would have been inadvisable even had Tuesday been a suitable day. Added to these conditions, the stormy and cold weather of Tuesday made it imperative that the contest be can- celled which was regretfully done by those in charge. Whether or not the match has been definitely given up for this iycar, The Chronicle is not able to [say with any authority. though in conversation with Secretary Calder over the phone this morning. we learned that it is more than likely that this course will be the one pur- sued. as the season is getting late. and weather, conditions cannot be depended upon for any length or time.

Receiving orders from the Hagen- beck Zoo, at Hamburg, and the Perth Zoological Gardens, in Aus- tralia, for a few orang-outangs, a leopard and a giant p thou, the na- turalists sailed from ingepore and ‘ J-J -L UUIWIUW vulva-vu- â€"- v..- a couple of days later landed at Palembang, in the island of Sumatra. Although he had several months in which to accomplish his task, and despite the fact that Sumatra is known as the “trappers’ paradise,” he was not without anxiety, know- ing that sometimes it requires sev- eral weeks of patient work before traces of the animals are revealed, after which there still remains the work of capturing themâ€"an opera- tion always fraught with difficul- ties, writes a correspondent of the New York Herald-Tribune. / Obttlns Fishing 'Nets On board the ship which bnought him to Palembang he had thought out a plan for capturing alive and with the least possible danger, the required leOpard, python and orang- outangs. On landing, his plan of ac- tion was already formulated. The first thing he did was to procure specially woven nets similar to those 'used in fishing, but much stronger. The first net was made for him within a few hours, and after test- ing it. Mr. Mayer ordered twenty more of them. Three days later, the trapper, escorted by a number of Malays, left_Palembang, and, after ,_ ,1 4L- Av-w “J”, .v-' â€" “-v__ a journey of six days, reached the jungle. The native guides lost no time in discovering traces of a leo- pard in the neighborhood, and soon had the nets fixed in position. The aperture of the nets measured roughly one square yard. and a double rope passed through the neck of the opening. The next move was to select a tree or trees having two branches directly overhandging the net. The lower branch was sawed three-fourths through in such 'a way that it would bend or break under the slightest. weight. The not was firmly attached to the sawn branch, while the nope, which was to close the opening of the net. was attached to the upper branch of the tree. A Huge Python When all was ready, :1 fowl was placed in each of the nets, and the hunters retired from view. In the case of an animal entering the net in order to eat the fowl. the sawn branch holding the net vmuld break under the weight of the beast, and the violently drawn rope would close tightly the opening of the trap. It was new only a question of waiting. The day after the setting of these traps. the nets were still found to be empty. The following day. the Malay natives. led by Mr. Mayer, made their way again to examine the traps. Suddenly the little band came to a standstill. The natives raised their arms in alarm. drop- ping their rifles in order to recite prayers to the native gods. In the distance. the net. could be seen swaying and heaving in and from beneath the tree. “Hanm'! Y0..Hantn“ (A spirit! 'I‘IWHSI‘HI‘lfi-P _('_1'H‘d L110 natlvos. AI \\'hen Mr. Mayor approached tho| not. he discovered it. contained .an onm'mous python. furiously hissuig and twisting in its efforts to escape. The lower branch of the trees had dulv broken beneath the weight of the" reptile. but the tail of the pyâ€" thon was still wound around the upper branch. It took not. less than two hours to finally capture the. reptile and transport it to a cage. It. weighed 200 pounds and measured nine yards long. Spotted Leopard Netted The day after this capture. an- other not was found to contain a superb spotted leopard, which no doubt. had sprung into tho trap with the intention of disposing of tho (owl, but was now suspended in the air. howling and struggling to es- cape. The method employed for 'the capture of orangâ€"outangs is classic in Sumatra. Enormous cages are constructed of bamboo which “are fixed to trees and in which are placed fruits to tempt the quarry. But the cunning orang is very wary. and a certain amount of ruse is brought into play before he is final- ly captured. For several days, the cage is abundantly supplied with tempting fruit. the Spring of the the door of the cage, something af- ter the. manner of a mouse trap. The moment the orang-outang at- tempts to seize the fruit. he touches a spring, which immediately closes trap being locked to prevent it clos- ing the door. \ Orang-Outang Kills Two 1 Very soon the monkeys come tot visit. itâ€"a few at first. then in‘ troupes.

Eight days after the commencement of the hunt, Mr. Mayer captured a splendid female orang-outang and her young one. The capture was made without dif- tlculty, and the prisoners were eas- ily brought back to the camp.
