You must learn not to overwork. a dollar any more than you would a horse.

He was on the binder, cutting close to the fence, when the horses in a sudden jerk forward, caused the binder to hit aâ€" gainst a post. This jolt knocked the lever back pinning Jim‘s right foot and tearing the shoe off. His son, nearby, ran to his assistance, and aided him to release the foot, when the second and third toes were {ound to be broken.

In the past it has always been customary to opâ€" | en the schoolks on the Tuesday after Labor Day. In some years this ‘meant an extra three to five day holâ€" ‘iday. In order to begin the fall studâ€" ies as early as possible and owing _to the fact that the schools already have an overabundance of vacation ‘days in the year, the opening has been moved ahead for the 1925â€"6 term.

Exactly one week from Monday next, school vacation will come to an end and every youngster in Durham will once more return to the daily grind of study. It is the first time in many years that the fall term has opened on Sep. 1st, and as a result the kiddies stand to lose several days of vacationâ€"also the teacher.

The place of his pastor, Rev. W. H. Smith (at present absent omâ€"holidays) at the funeral on Monday last, was taâ€" ken by Rev. J. E.

On behalf of aâ€"wide circle of friends and acquaintances throughout South Grey, the Review extends sympathy to the mourners. It is not generally known that he was skilful with tools and was a born mechanic. The sisters have many reâ€" minders in articles of furniture ‘and other things useful and ornamental of the skill of the brother who has passed on. We desire to tender our sincere thanks to friends and neighbors, both in town and country, and to the staff of Durham hospital, for the numerous kindnesses and sympathy shown, in the recent bereavement of our beâ€" loved brother. _ The survivors of this family are a brcther, Wm. Scarf, in Toronto, and ltwo sisters, Misses Marion and Ruby, who with deceased, formed the home ’circle here for many years and who ever lived in such close affection that the parting to them will be very keenâ€" ly felt. The brothers also were deepâ€" ly attached, and the survivor mourps deeply. Their father died at the well known "Scarf farm" at Rocky Sauâ€" geen (now owned by Mr. Jas. Lawâ€" rence) 17 years ago, and the mother some 23 years ago. Since retiring to Durham sir years ago, they have earned the respect and goodwill of neighbors and friends in town by their neighborly kindness and social qualities. Tom was a cheerful, chatty and interesting conâ€" versationalist. He never dropped his farmer training and almost to the last kept in touch with markets and the progress of agriculture. He had a knowledge of stock and stockâ€"rais ing possessed by few farmers, and it was this knowledge that led to his success. l Operations at Hospital. Dr. D. B. Jamieson on Monday reâ€" moved the tonsils of. Miss Teresa Welsh, and on Wednesday operated on Mrss Howard McDonald for ap pendicitis. Both operations were sucâ€" cessful and the patients are doing well. Cyril Becker, whose hand was severely cut at the factory on Saturâ€" day, is also feeo:erlng. 9 Bright Lights are Here. With a string of electric lights beâ€" tween poles in front of the Durham Service Station, and the building as well brightly lit up, one is compelled at night to notice the new gas supply station, which (formerly a vacant lot) Manager Evans has transformed into a place of beauty and brilliancy. the station and tanks being. also brightly painted.

They lived for about nine months in a house near Edge Mills before going to the Rocky where the father became a successful farmer. The son, now deceased, conâ€" tinued on the farm till about cix years ago, where by industry, thrift and good judgment, he was successful to a degree. past, a weak heart and increased stomach troubles were indications that a more serious phase was approachâ€" ing. Ten days before he died he was taken to the hospital, but medical skill and loving attentions availed not and he passed away as above. It is our sad duty this week . to record the death of Mr. Thomas W. Scarf, which occurred in Durham Hosâ€" pital on Friday morning last.

Scarf The Scarf Family With which is incorporated the Holstein Leader Knox, Normanby Garden Party The wsual crowd attended the postâ€" poned garden pa‘rty. held on No. 1 school grounds, last Friday night. An ideal evening prevailed, the heavy shower in town during the afternoon being entirely missing in Knox localâ€" ity. This year the platform was placed in the southâ€"west corner oi school grounds, with seats in front, instead of directly in front of school, and the change improved the hearing of the program. The party is under Red Cross Socâ€" iety auspices, the net proceeds to be devoted towards cost of building adâ€" dition to Durham hospital. No one in town or community, who possibly can attend, should be absent on Friâ€" day night. The Community Lawn Party to be held in Durhamâ€"Rink on Friday evenâ€" ing promises to be the biggest event of its kind ever staged in Durham. The Committees in charge have arâ€" ranged for ample entertainment for everybody, with some of the best taâ€" lent in the province on the program. Among the â€"efitertainers. will be Harry Bennett of ‘Toronto, Canada‘s great comedian; Palmerston Male Quartette; "Scotty" Robertson in character songs; McArthur and Ellis, novelty entertainers; Haw Bros. Orâ€" chestra of Swintor Park. No addresâ€" ses. Durham Band will supply choice music all evening. Then there‘s the Miniature Midway to visit, including the baby show, minâ€" strel show, and other features. Good dancing platform and music, for both round and square dancing. Rev. W. H. Hill of Illinois, who is filling Knox pulpit for three Sundays made an able chairman, and delivered a notable speech as well, in which he pointed out the responsible ‘position Canada holds as interpreter between the United States and Britain, and vice versa. s The program provided was a good: one. Dromore choir contributed two choruses in fine harmony, also a well blended mixed quartette by Miss Nelâ€" lie Bunston, Mr and Mrs J. D. Drimâ€" mie and Mr. Reg. Ramage. Solos were well rendered by Mrs. T. M. Mcâ€" Fadden, Miss Esther McComb and Mr. GrantMcComb, recitations by Mr Cornwall, Joe Davison, Miss Kathleen Firth and Peter Ramage, 3 reading by Miss Annie Smith, and two selections by Durham Pres. Choir. Stewart Mcâ€" Arthur© made a hit in Harry Lauder songs, which he sang and acted in costume. The booth supplies did not arrive until nine p. l(.w but still almost evâ€" Big List of Attractions at Rink Lawn Party The Furniture Co. have their maâ€" chines equipped with all possible safeâ€" ty devices, and much regret that the accident occurred. All will hope that the lad will shortly rally and regain his vitality. , Becker‘s job was assistant to Wes. | Roseborough, who was running the sticker, but Wes. has been off duty ncarly two weeks with quinsy, and the boy, who understood its operation was given his place. He had got aâ€" long well until Saturday, when he [med to free a spring that was stickâ€" ing. In attempting to push back the spring, he got his hand under the machine among the knives, and beâ€" fore he could release it, the hand was: badly lacerated, the second, third and fourth fingers, and across the palin diagonally, being torn off. With blood: spurting out, he ran some distance Yo{ get it bound, and was taken in a car to the hospital. Twentyâ€"two stitches were required to close the wound oâ€" yer the forefinger and thumb remainâ€" ing. Pools of blood were left at machine and on floor of car, and from its loss and the shock sustained, the lad is in a critical condition at the hospital. Lunch was served at the conclusion of the program. The gate proceeds amounted to $55. . Mr John McCeskery is laid off work at present with a sore knee. issued. Ask Secy. Binnie for a copy. About nine a..m. Saturday, a seriâ€" ous accident befel Cyril Becker, a sixteen year old lad at the furniture factory, when three fingers of his right hand were cut off while runâ€" ning the sticker. He is the second son of Mr and Mrs. George Becker, of Countess St. south. Lost Half a Hand In Accident at Factory sold out. The familiar The Spence brothers were also high class artists. The pianist broâ€" ther‘s work left nothing to be desirâ€" ed, and to him may be attributed much of the success of the other two. The piano literally spoke for him, and in all the numbers supplied the pep and kick to the accompaniâ€" ments. As a rule an accompanist is merely a background for the singer, but in this case he shared equal honors with the singers. Also as a monologue artist, he does excellent work, supplying the more serious end of the program. _ His rendition of Foss‘ "House by the Side of the Road" contained _ much food for thought. His brother, E. R. Spence, won from the first the approval of the audience, and his baritone voice was heard to good advantage in Harry Lauder‘s "Wee House ‘mang the Heaâ€" ther." The group singing of the three artists was always in excellent harmony, and no weary moments dragged between numbers. The latâ€" ter half of the program, the three appeared in highland costume and all Scotch numbers put on. Durbham Band were in attendance and contributed especially fine musâ€" ic under the baton of Mr Harry Husâ€" ill. . Piper Cameron contributed real bag pipe music and made the highâ€" land hearts jump at least an inch. Rev. J. H. Whealan was chairman for the evening but his duties proved to be light. These were the Brunswick Trio, comprising two Spence brothers amdI "Scotty" â€" Ballantyne. This is the third appearance of these. gventlemen! in town and their program of Thursâ€"| day night, enhanced their reputation] as entertainers. The large crowd wanted to be entertained and were., in humorous as well as more serlousi numbers, they had the best of atâ€" tention and not many words coming . from them were lost. "Scotty" Balâ€"‘ lantyne can never bBetray his nationâ€" ality, and as a comedian he has few superiors. His work with the violin was far from amateurish and the audience craved more of his work in this line. | Small tables were placed on the grounds for refreshments and these were liberally . patronized, as were also the candy and ice cream booths. It took three gatekeepers to handâ€" le the receipts as the crowd poured in. They not only came from town but surrounding districts were well© represented. _ Walkerton alone sent| over four carloads. _ The committee in charge of arrangements provided | ample seating accommodation and an ; elevated platform for performing arâ€"‘ tists. | $228.00 was the gate receipts, and from other sources raised the total receipts to near $400. However exâ€" penses were heavy and $200 will be the amount clear. The managing committee wisely saw to insurance as a compensation " for their outlay, should the night prove inclement. South Bentingk had a sixâ€"footer battery, Jack Grierson pitching and Wilfrid Anderson catching. _ Their team mates were N., W. and A. Mcâ€" Ronald, W. Grierson, A. Knisley, G. Johnston, Camp. McLean (Rocky), Jack Lawson and Harold McKechnie umpired. _ The baseball game between Dorâ€" noch and South Bentinck, was late in ‘getting stared and only two and a half innings could be played before darkness came. In the even two inâ€" nings, South Bentinck won by 8 to 4. Vasey brothers, with Hugh pitching, were Dornoch‘s battery. The rest of the team were A. D. Mcintyre, M. Riddell, Stanley and Peter Ledingâ€" ham, Sullivan, Schildroth, Leuck. Priced right and quality guaranteed. Phone 114. J. W. Ewen & Son "SUCCESS" in _ capital letters must be written, regarding the e‘â€" forts of the committee in charge of preparations for the Presbyterian Garden Party, held on Mr. Robert Lawson‘s fine lawn, just north of town Thursday night last. .The day throughout was dubious and the morning clouds were _ heavy and dour. The afternoon gave promise of improvement, only to be broken by a shower in midâ€"afternoon. Howâ€" ever this came only as a teaser, for it henceforth kept clear and the night‘s event â€"was called off as to schedule. 11 a. m.: Queen St. United Churcl 1 p.m.: Knox United Church Preacher : Rev.
