SLIPPING A LITTLE After increasing the capacity of th© pump in testing out the well of Mr. W, F. Abbott the more energet­ ic test that has been made since Friday of last week has had the ef­ fect of lowering the water and de­ creasing the supply. A new pump was installed last week by the In­ ternational Water Supply Co,, Tor­ onto, and began pumping on, Friday. It was in continuous operation un­ til Wednesday evening. Under the test the supply began to slip. Tests of wells in the neighborhood show­ ed that they had been, adversely af­ fected. The tests show that at least two wells with a capacity equal to that of Mr. Abbott’s well would, be necessary to meet the demand and. possibly three. Further tests will be made so as to get as nearly as possible a complete check-up. Tests are also being made of the springs on the farm of Mr. Garnet Frayne north of the river. Engineer Fleming, of Toronto, is in town looking over the situation. is W.

Fifty-four head of oattle stray­ ed away from the pasture farm of Mr. H. Shapton, 7th con, of Hay townhip, 29 of these cattle belong to Mr. Wes. Culbert, of Biddulph and 25 of them were recovered about a mile and half away from the farm. 19 head are still at large and have not been, located after several days-’ search.

Victor Ho­ garth who is back again in a plas­ ter cast at Christie St. Hospiatl in Toronto after being home for sev­ eral weeks. Mr. Hogarth under­ went a remarkable operation when a piece of his backbone was remov­ ed and a graft from a bone in one of his legs' 'was inserted in its place. Owing to his splendid physical con­ dition together with considerable grit Mr. Hogarth made a wonderful recovery and was able to return to his home a few weeks ago. One ev­ ening last week while in the act of retiring the bone snapped, the sound of which could be heard in the room. Mr, Hogarth was remov­ ed to the hospital where an X-ray was taken and he was placed in a plaster cast with the hope that the bone would knit. Failing this' a new operation may have to be per­ formed. The indomitable spirit of Mr. Hogarth is shown in the fact that,last week the first school for the .'instru'etion in chick sexing to be held east of the Rockies was held at the Hogarth Hatchery and ar­ rangements were being made to have Mr. Hogarth accompany Mr. R. M. Forsyth, M.S.A., Assistant Professor of Animal Husbandry at the University of British Columbia,, in conducting similiar schools thro’-" out the Dominion of Canada. To have this new -set-hack is heart­ breaking but his many friends- will hope for the best. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Dawson, of borne, have the sympathy of . community in the loss of their little son Frederick Glen, who passed away in the Children's Memorial Hospital, London, on Friday of last week at the age of 2 years. 2 months and 2 days. The little lad had suffered from a ruptured appendix and an op­ eration had been performed. A se­ cond operation was found necessary and in spite of all that could be done he passed away. Glen was a winsome child, beloved hy all who knew him and his sunny smile, and happy disposition will he greatly missed in the home. Besides the be­reaved parents two sisters survive Eleanor and Ruth, The funeral on Sunday was largely attended and was conducted by Rev, H. Taylor, of the Thames Road. The singing was led by Mrs. Archie Morgan and Mrs. Roy Fletcher. Eight boys of Itlie com­ munity acted as flower bearers. The pall-bearers were, Elgin Rowcliffe, James Anderson, Jr,, Harry Stone and John Dalrymple. Interment took place in the Exeter cemetery. Among those ifroin a distance who attended the funeral wore Mr. Dawson’s mo­ ther, .Mrs. Thos, Dawson, of Bailie- boro; Mr. Wm. Dawson and daugh­ ter Isabelle and Mr. Chas. Fisher, all of Bailioboro; Dr. and Mrs. Walter Dawson, of ProsquTle Point; Miss Ann Dawson, of Toronto; Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Finnic. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Finnic and Andrew Finnic, of St. Marys.
