Last Sunday afternoon, when a couple of Garrick farmers were walking through the Evangelical (Lamp Grounds on the 10th conces- sion they heard some cominotion in One of the boarding houses. Ad- vancing very cautiously, they peek- ed in to see what was going on, and they found a number of hens im- prisoned there. .There, were some half dozen of the birds still living, but in a badly starved condition. Thirteen hens had died of starva- tion. It is evident that the poultry had been stolen and taken to the camp grounds, where the thieves intended to establish an operation base, but something occurred to cause them to abandon this plan, and these birds were left to their fate.--Walkerton Herald and Times. Times. Thieves‘ Got Cold Poet. As Oldfield’s tug, Frank L., of Thornbury, was on, her~ way from that town to Mea‘foird, on Saturday, for coal. the hands aboard saw a deer swimming in the water about a mile off what is known as ‘Jerow’s Point'. heading apparently for the Christian Islands. By a little man- Ut'UVGI‘ng the tug managed to get. near enough to the deer for the lmat hands to lasso it and lift it aboard. The animal. which proved to he a well-nourished buck about two years old. and weighing prob- ably one humlrocl pounds. was somewhat chilled by the cold water. but was temlerly cared for by the boat hands.

When the tramp turned a second time he saw Mr. Elliott crossing the tield and started to run. keeping up Thursday, November 17, 1927 with the coming of the new era of wheat handling under pool methods. While Mr. Stark has quite a large storage capacity at the mill here it now seems to be deplorable that the entire group of commodious store houses at the railway station at Paisley, including the one'built by Stark’s mill owner, have been torn down. However, Mr. Stark has had life long experience as both miller and grain dealer, and there is little doubt that he can, with facilities at hand, meet the need of the local wheat growers for years to come.â€" The Paisley Advocate.

And General Motors has seen many of its visions realized. . . . It has seen a great industry grow up in Canada to supply the Canadian family with a means of trans- portation to meet its needs and resources, to answer the desire for style, dependability, luxury. It has seen, in the Canadian Fisher Body plants, the perpetuation of Canadian ideals of craftsmanship. It has seen, in the General Motors Research labor- atories, the development of countless advances and refinements on which much of modern motoring com- fort depends. It has seen, on the General Motors Proving Grounds, the proof of principles which are now accepted factors in automobile design and construction. It has seen the triumph of co-operative purchasing and manufacturing methods with their resultant economies to be shared with the buyers of General Motors .cars. And the eyes of General Motors are still. to the horizon . . . still seeking new ways to improye General Motors cars and to place theocars mthm reach of ever-widening circles of Canadian buyers.
