Campbell President of the Turnberry Agricul- tural Society. was working about the grounds. his attention was directed to several small things which he at first thought to be puff balls. But as this was not the proper season for them he picked some up and found the cover- ing quite pliable. Further curiosity prompted him to open one and for a certainty got a surprise. Inside the two-inch parchment-like shell was a young snake of the grass variety. about 8 inches long. and quite lively when freed. Bringing them up to town they created no small interest. for it seemed quite late in the season for such articles to be lying around. and eventually some were put in a reservation preparation for use in gh school work.â€"Wingham Ad- vance-Times.

Paisley Creamery Comes First The showing of butter at the Royal this year was easily conceded by Jos- eph Burgess. Ottawa, one of the judges to be the best ever seen at the show. There was plenty of it, and the quality left little to be desired. For the third time in succession the George S. Henry Trophy, awarded to the sweep- stakes butter, went to Ontario, the Paisley Creamery capturing this honor with a score of 43.5 for flavor and a total of 98.5, the highest individual score of the show. The Paisley Creamery with Mr. Logie as manager and Mr. J. Ross Laidlaw in charge of the making is running up a distinguished record in the fair win- nings, having last year come to the front with the highest score of any Creamery for unsalted butter. This year their butter was in the salted Not only is this another district triumph for Paisley Creamery, its managers and employees, but also something for the patrons to feel proud of, as without a supply of A]: fresh cream from which to produce the butter, there would be no possibil- ity of attaining such perfection or ractiCally all his life in'this commun- ty.

Shortly after dark on Wednesday night of last week a light wagon, driven by Walter Woodyard was struck and wrecked by a motor truck driven by Hans Stevenson, of Shel- burne. Woodyard was taking a load of effects from his recent place of abode in East Garafraxa to his new home on lot 6, Mono. He had almost reached the gate where he intended to turn in when his rig was struck. With him on the load were Mrs. Woodyard and their children, all of whom were hurled to the ground. but lhad the good fortune to escape with- out serious injuries. Woodyard, him- self, did not fare quite so well, but was lucky to get off with a badly bruised leg. One of Woodyard’s horses was killed and the load of furniture was badly smashed. Ste- venson had some cattle in the truck and one of these was also killed. After hitting the horse vehicle. the truck capsized into the ditch and was badly damaged before it came to a standstill. The sequel came on Tuesday morning when Stevenson appeared before Magistrate Falconer on a charge of reckless driving. Owing to the contra- dictory evidence the Magistrate ad- journed the case for a week. when he hopes to secure some additional evidence. Woodyard’s wife. who was sitting beside her husband. was carry- ing a lighted lantern. but Stevenson avers that he did not see the light or any sign of the rig. The Wood- yards on the other hand say they did not see the lights of the approaching truck. We are informed that the lights on the truck were in indifferent condition.â€"Orangeville Banner. Mr. Herman Adler. one of the crack mechanics of Hanover. met with a very serious accident last Friday morning when he was on his way to work in the plant of Knechtel Kitchen Kabinet Limited. It seems Mr. Adler was carrying a long. narrow chisel in his hip pocket, and slipped on the icy sidewalk just a short distance from the factory. When he fell. the chisel was driven deeply into his right lung. He was removed to his home. His condition is serious. but his attending physician told The Post yesterday that he was “holding his own".â€"Hanover under the cave of the building, and hurried over to notify Mr. Mm'rell.

Si Horses on Rampage What looked like a case of a horse trying to use his horse sense occurred in the yards of the D. c. Baird lumber mill on Tuesday morning. Earl Tyler and William Richards had loaded up three heavy horses on a large motor truck preparatory to a tri to Exeter. The animals were tied up a suitable rack and the driver was in the act or sprinkling shavings on the floor of the truck when one of the horses lost its footing and fell to the bottom of the rack. The other horses were startled at this and began to paw about dangerously with the result that at- tempts were quickly made to release the animal that was by this time be- ing subjected to sundry kicks and bruises in the bottom of the load. Two of the animals were finally re- leased but the third took it into his head to cut up a bit and straightway tried to get his front feet on to the steering mechanism of the truck, the first plunge stove in the top of the cab and the next disintegrated the steer- mg wheel while a third smashed the windshield and left the horse hahging A _Highyvay _Accid_en_t winning . _such high _ awards 19 00131138- ition With creameries opera rating the Atlanticto the Pacific .â€"-J Advocate. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE On the other hand the Council quite apparently think the board extrava- gant, piling up a big tax rate for the next year through expenses unprovid- ed for this year in their estimates. These include three additional teachers and probably four, as well as the new boiler. But with a rapidly growing town and a large increase in school attendâ€" ance. expenses have advanced in pro- portion, hence the present difficulty, which will doubtless be adjusted when both parties get together and better understand each others problems. Another peculiar fact is, the Board has no power to borrow money or to make an overdraft. All moneys must come through the council. They can request that a vote of the rate- payers be taken. but even this will delay payments on debt incurred. Saint Paul is responsible for the general custom of women wearing hats in church through his dictum: “Every woman that prayeth or pro- phesieth with her head uncovered. dishonoreth her head." Saint Paul had reason for it. according to the days in which he lived; but he lived a long time ago. Customs have changed. and. so has the outlook of thousands who are still good Church- men and Churchwomen. Besides Saint Paul left an alternative: “If a woman be not covered let her also be shorn" Today. a large percentage of the wo- men are not only “shorn”. but never think of wearing a hat unless the weather is wet. Opinions may difler as to whether a woman’s appearance in church without a hat constitutes an act of irreverence. It is certin wo- men do not intend it as such; and, in any case, if they go to church in the spirit of worship, can we say in these days that it really matters whether they wear hats or not? FERGUS SCHOOL BOARD A rather serious situation has de- veloped between the Fergus Council and the School Board, with the reins- al on Monday evening to grant the Board the $2,000 requested. The Board has completed the instal- lation of a new boiler in the public school, which with changes, has cost over $2,100 and they have no money wherewith to pay the accounts. The Board did not anticipate this expendi- ture so made no provision for it in their estimates. but it is believed to have enemies? from defective electric wiring. The damage is estimated at $800, which is covered by insuranceâ€"Winter. Can- adian Echo.
