HELD AUCTION SALE YESTERDAY The question 01' this division of the rounty has been talked of be- low. but has not been discussed serimisly by the members of tho tlounty Council. although it. may i-ome up at the November session. but. is hardly likely to he acted upon until the January session. if at all just now. Should there be an ad- (htinnal grant of 3500. made and another Representative named there will come up the big question of the location of the two offices. The division is likely to be north and south. with one Representative in the north and the other in the South. and there is sure to be a scramble among the towns and vil- lages for the location. However this is just talk at the present time, and nothing can be done until such time as the County Council is pre- pared to grant another $500 'a year.

Though the damages were. luckily, of a monetary nature solely, both Misses Dorothy and Mary Pickering and one of Mr. Molok’s family were cut by flying glass and had to have medical attention. In the Pickering car, Dr. Pickering himself was the only one to escape injury of any kind. Mrs. Pickering received a severe wrap in the chest and though not re arded as serious, is quite painfu . Miss Dorothy had a couple of stitches in her lip. and Miss Mary had four in her forehead to close the wound. About 8 o‘clock Friday evening when returning from Owen Sound. Dr. and Mrs. W. C. Pickering and their two children narrowly escaped serious injury when their car was run into near the’top of the Rocky hill by a car driven by George Molok of Owen Sound. As a result of the collision both cars were badly damaged. the Pickering car sustaining a bent and twisted frame. broken fenders and running boards, and had to be towed to town where ‘it is now undergoing repairs. The Molok car was taken to Owen Sound, it. too, being rather badly damaged. Glaring Headlights Blamed Mr. Molok. who admitted he was in the wrong and has since settled for all damages. says that when he went over the top of the hill he was blinded by the headlights of the oncoming car and could see nothing. The Pickering car was on its own side of the road, well over to the side, and had no chance \x'hatever to avoid being run into as the ()wen Sound chariot Swung across the road directly in front. and smashed into the front portion of the Durham car. At the place where the accident occurred there is quite a steep drop down into the gully through which the river flows. but luckily the highways depart- ment had the necessary protectionl erected and a more serious accident was averted.

It has numerous aliases, the most common of which are Egyptian, Eldorado, Many headed, Miracle, Mummy, Seven headed and Alaska. It has al- ways been easy to interest people in this wheat Owing to its branched head. If an unbranched head will yield so much, surely a branched head will yield much more! While head for head this may be true, yet experiments have not shown that it holds good acre for acre. This wheat was probably introduced into North America from Europe or Egypt in Colonial days. It was re- ceived by the Philadelphia Society for promoting agriculture in 1807, since which time it ‘has appeared There has appeared recently in a number 01‘ leading agricultural papers an article entitled “King Tut‘s Wheat GrOwn in the West”. The article refers to certain results obtained by a soldier settler living near Edmonton, Alta). and gives the impression that the wheat in ques- tion was discovered in 1922 in the tomb of King Tutankhamen. As a matter of fact the records show that this wheat was known as far back as 1840 when one enterprising gentleman ofl'ered heads at $5. each. “We are going about this cam- paign deliberately,” stated Mr. flickell. "Nothing is bciig rushed without care and planning before- hand. We want the public to get accident prevention consciousness and to retain it. Already reports have come to us telling of a great imprm'ement in the matter of head- lights. W e are also getting reports about reckless driving and cutting- in. These are being investigated.

(Continued on Page 8) Durham school has been fortunate to win the shield for three years in succession,- and as the competition this year is said to be keener than usual, the local pupils will have to do even better if they hope to corne out on top. Any way you look at it, this year should see some keen competition among the High school pupils of these four towns, and the citizens who take the oppontunity of watching the events are assured their full mone ’8 worth. We trust that there will e a good attendance to watch the athletes in action. Four schools are entered, Walker- ton, Chesley, Hanover and Durham, with 117 entrants. The Chesley and Durham schools are tied in the numbers of pupils entered, both having 30. Walkerton comes next with 28, and Hanover last with 25. Very little can be told from the number entered, as agility in this instance counts for more than numbers.

I‘m the latter class alone, last year shows that in the same period 188 horse-drawn vehicles had pas- sed up and down the highway. so we must conclude that somebody who drove, horses last year had taken unto himself a car. Last night at 10 o'clock the cen- sus takers who have been station- ed at McClinton’s corners south of town. completed their week’s watch and the official figures show that during the week 2.86:2 motor- and horse-drawn vehicles passed the point. Compared with a total of 1,590 last year, there has been nearly a 90 per cent. increase in the traffic and possibly explains partly the increase in the number of ac- cidents and the determination of the powers that be to legislate that this toll of lives be lessened.
