Sunday morning was one of broken rest for some of our citi- Zens living on the front street, caused by about twenty {nempens «it the Toronto Motorcycle Club making the run from Toronto to Burks Falls. Muskoka, by way of Durham Owen Sound, Collingwood and Oiillia. Leaving Toronto about midnight they commenced coming timmgh Durham shortly after 3 u‘clnck and the caxalcade had not all gone through until about 4.30. ' he run was in the nature of an " endurance test, some being allowed S1 '24) miles a hour, while others were I? supposed to run consistentlv at 24 1 miles. In the contest the‘cyclist t2 with the 20-mile limit could go no 1“ faster; he was supposed to reach tl each of thetowns on the pro- = gramme on'tlme” If he were late in coming into a station he lost certain marks. if he were early the same thing. happened; he could not make up time on the road, nor ruuhl he sit outside the borders of a municipality if ahead of time. 1 We have. not heard the result of .. the test so far. but when the cy- i'llsts were going through Durham with cut-outs wide open they made more nonse than a little.

We had scarcely landed on the sidewalk thinking of speed cops. bank rob- bers and what not, when we ran into the Durham police force out till the scent for crime. It seems that- an hour or so earlier he had been awakened by a citizen of llrylon who claimed that he had been assaulted by some horrible rull'ians and murderers who threatened him with dire punish- ment. and. to add insult to injury. had stolen his car. and he was stranded here with no transporta- tion machinery available. Chief. Allen arose and started out on the swim. but could make nothing of the case, as the vicinity of the Chinese restaurant where the as- sault was said to have taken place was as placid as the water in the hathâ€"tub. and it' any blood had been spilled it had been taken care, of most carefully, We have said that. Chief Allen was hot On the trail; we may add that he was also hot under the collar and when last we saw him he was headed for home and muttering somethlng we could not catch. but whicl} we never remember having read in the Anglican church prayer book. However. "all swell that end swell.“ We stayed up until ' the mutol'cyrlists had gone through- everything else appeared calm, and then went. to bed. but by this time it was nearly sun-up and too late to sleep.

Head - Gives Views in Address To Agri- cultural Representatives. Members of the faculty of the Ontario Agricultural college, and agriculture representatives from the various counties met the new president ‘of the college, Dr. G. 1. Christie, B.S.A., of Purdue Univer- sity, Indiana, for the first time when he addressed a large gather- ing at a banquet held in the insti- tution dining hall in connection with the anual meeting of the re- presetatives a‘week or so ago. ___.‘1‘ mnn‘:hi“nfl“7 ”ocean“-.. .. -._-_ __ _ v Addressing himself particularly to the Irepresenbatives, the new president told of his own work in that connection in United States, drawing an interesting paral-: lel between the methods in use in‘ that country and in Canada. Each farming individual community must work out its own distinct problems, whirh are totally different from those of any other community, said Dr. Christie. The great problem which faces every branch of the department of agriculture is to get more farm- ers to do the thing that ought to be done when it should be done. Changes in agricultural methods must come, he averred, and to en- ldeayor to run a farm with a 1900 system is as ridiculous as for a modern motor car firm to turn out .a model the same as manufactured I28 years ago. People must be taught how to make these changes, which willhineyitably come. .l‘- _.-__. \\ lllbll VV 1;]. A;;Vv--....- W.

WARNING No More Warnings to be Given for This Breach of Ontario Highways Act, According to Provincial Ofâ€" ficer Stone. . , Fred Stone, the new Provincial traffic officer, and sometimes afi‘ec- tionately referred to as .the “speed. cop”, was in our sanctum the other day and has asked us to let it be known .that from now on he is go- ing to issue no more warnings to drivers of buggies who usethe Provicial Highway at ni ht minus the required light. As r. Stone puts it, the law has been in force long enough for everyone to know. :it, and anyone who uses "the high-‘ way at this date without the legal light on his buggy must be taken as openly defying the law and as such will be- summarily dealt with from now on. We would like to pass this information out to our readers, especially thosewho drive buggies at nightâ€"put a light on and save trouble. Trafi‘ic Officer- Stone has shown us that his duty in these cases is laid down for him by the Highways Department and he intends to do his duty. While very emphatic in his statement of what he intends doing, Officer Stone does not appear to us as an officer of the blood. and thunder variety, one who has a swelled head over the authority that is vested in him as Provincial Traffic Officer, or one who cannot hold down his position with dig- nity and the use of common sense. Rather, he regards the lights on buggies as a protection to the man driving the buggy, and cannot see why‘anyone ‘should care to appear -nt..-. “:411.‘ “Y;‘l1n11* VV Ill I‘LL.) VIAU w‘a on the street after night Without this protection. With these lights in general use now, the touring motorist is always on the lookout for them, and should a buggy without a light be using the high- way it is hardly fair to blame the motorist for any pollision that may .11.!. In. result in a wreck or possmie IaL-l ality. - 1 Mr. Stone’s position is well taken‘ as he has nothing but praise for the manner in which the trafl'ic laws are observed in this part of the province. “There are only a few, very few, drivers of motor cars or buggies who seemingly pay little or no attention to the traffic laws,” he told us, “and that is the very reason why I feel it my duty to protect the big majority against the laxity of the minority.” From his calm demeanor and statement of facts while in our of- :fice, we take it that Mr. Stone means exactly what he says and would adwse all who read this warning to act accordingly. ___ Durham Presbyterian Church Had One More Successful Garden Party This Year, With Bigger Programme Than Ewenâ€"Booths and [hefreshment Stands Did GOOD TURNOUT AT ANNUAL GARDEN PARTY to all the kind things said or tnem and would be almost impossible to replace on the concert. platform.

From the small beginning thirty-one years ago in Stoney Creek where the first institute was formed, there are now Institutes through- out the English Speaking world and to Ontario can be traced the be- ginning ol' this great orgaization,‘ and our influence is being felt in; many countries.

Community Halls and other things are in the making which will be of great benefit.

WILLIAM LIMIN DIED LAST WEEK AT VANCOUVER Brother of E. W. Limln of This Mr. E. W‘. Limin received word last Thursday morning of the sud- den death the day before at his home in Vancouver, B.C., of his brother, Mr. William Limin. While no particulars are to hand, it is thought here that death must have been caused by heart trouble as the deceased only a few days be- fore had written a cheery letter to his brotherhere in which was no hint of illness. The late Mr. Limin was born in Hamilton 66 years ago, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles Limin. While he had visited here on occasions, the last of which was in 1927, he was not generally well known, as the greater part of his life had been spent in Western Canada. Mr. Limin lived in Ham- }lton during the first years of his ife, but went West over 30 years ago. He was in the first rush of goldâ€"seekers ._t_'9__th‘3 Klondyke in --â€"â€"l'|-- 1--1- can r3 vvvvvvvvvv -- - - 1898, and subsequently took up a mining claim in the Buckley Val- ley in British Columbia.

The death of this young man was very sad, and a great shock to his parents, the at- tending surgeons and the hospital staff. who are at. a loss to account for his failure to rally. He was apparently a good patient and his failure to rally is. a com- plete mystery. Dr. Jamieson of Durham was the surgeon in 1118 case and was assisted by thet‘am- ily physician.
