M. A. Hunt united in marriage Rosa Mae, daughter of Mr. and Mr©. Wesiey Dearing, Ste­ phen, and Percy Lloyde Harris, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Harris, of Hibbert. To the strain© of the wed­ ding march played by Miss K.

Attending the wedding were: Mr. and Mrs. James Dearing, Dorchester and Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Harris, New York State. Other guests were present from Hensall, Elim- ville, Granton and Crediton. LIBERAL MEETING It takes thirty days work out of every hundred to meet the taxes im­ posed by the Bennett government, said W- H. Moore, Liberal candidate in Ontario riding, and former chair­ man of the Federal Tariff Board at a meeting in Leavitt’s Theatre on Tuesday evening speaking in the interests of the Liberal candidate Mr. W. H. Golding. Mr. Moore challenged the statement that there was little difference in the two old political parties. Mr. Ring, he said, was a servant of th.^, Liberal party, and during the years that Mr. King had been prime minister -of Canada, prosperity had been the result and taxation had been lowered. He stat­ ed that Mr. Stevens had three pro­ posals for paying off the national debt. First, by finding gold where others have been unable to find it; by utilizing Alberta coal transport­ ing it to Ontario and by making use. of the peat bogs of Ontario, which attempt fuel companies h'ad abandoned because unprofitable. He spoke of Mr. Golding as a man interested in curtailing public ex­ penditures and one whose three years’ experience at Ottawa should prove a benefit to the riding should he be returned. Mr. B. W. F. Beavers acted as chairman of the meeting and called upon Mr. Golding to speak first awaiting the arrival of Mr. Moore and Major F. G. Sanderson, of St. Marys, both of whom addressed a previous meeting in St, Marys. Mr. Golding stated that we are now in the throes >of a general el­ ection into’ which there has been in­ jected numerous new groups. There is the C. C. F. party, which stands for socialism and carried to its con­ clusion would mean the control of all private property. If either of the old parties were choosing a lead­ er or drafting a platform they would call a national convention. Mr. Ste­ vens has named a party; selected a platform and chose himself as lead­ er. This country is facing one of( the most important elections it 'has ever faced, said the speaker, be­ cause the policies formed during the next five years will have much to do with the destiny of Canada. He re­ ferred to the promises made by Mr. Bennett during the 193 0 election and largely upon these promises Mr. Bennett was elected. The formation of a new party was largely a move to regain 'control of the Conserva­ tive party. Major F. G. Sanderson in a few re­ marks paid a fine tribute to Mr. Golding when he said he was honest, capable and sincere. No man in the house takes his duties more ser­ iously. He stated that there is only one party united in Canada to-day and that is the Liberal party. There is dissention in the Conservative party but they have brought it on themselves because they have let Mr. Bennett be a one-man government. He appealed for the sup’ort of the electors in reelecting Mr, Golding. Some interesting pictures were shown upon, the screen during the evening and a radio address from Rt. Hon. MacKenzie King was also heard. These were presented by Mr. Case R. Howard, who was home for the week-end and remained over flor this purpose. Mr. Howard is do­ ing very effective work for the Lib­ eral party and is in great demand throughout the Province. Of partic­ ular interest to the people of Exeter were the pictures of the Gidley home where Wm. L. McKenzie, * grand­ father of Mr. King once slept over­ night and those of Exeter’s main street in 1887 and 1935. — JUST ARRIVED — A Fresh Assortment of Neilson’s Chocolates pound box 50c Grieve’s Sandwich Shoppe ‘‘The Place of Better Food” — Smokers’ Supplies — a We have a very large stock to select from.

Mrs. Crittenden was engaged in her Saturday baking and opened the oven door to look at some pies. As she ©wung the door open, flames leoped out, severely burning her face neck and head. She also suffered from shock. Fortunately Mrs. Crit­ tenden’s clothing did not catch on fire. Her hair and eyebrow© were quite badly burned by the flames. The accident was reported to J. W. Peart, general manager of the Pub­ lic Utilities Commission, who is having an investigation into cause made by Superintendent Frank Kon- dal of the gas department. The sug­ gestion that the accident might have been caused by water in the gas line was dismissed by Mr. Peart as being highly improbable. His ' theory is that the accident was due to some stoppage in the oven burners on the stove or the pipe feeding the stove.” —iSt. Thomas Times-Journal. Mrs. Crittendem is a sis,ter of Mr. George Penhale, of Stephen, and is a former resident of Exeter.

Farmer No. 3: Kept 202 Hens His average was slightly higher; 16.6 eggs a day .or 64 per cent. Farmer No. 3: Average was approximately 65 per cent Taking the lowest average of the above 3 farmers here are the results: He fed his 200 hens in 3 weeks the-following—5<00 lbs. chop value $5.00; 100 lbs. Concentrate value $3.75; 10 bushels of wheat, val.ue $6.00; oyster shell and cod liver oil 60c.; total $15.35. The average price of eggs during the above four months last year was 24c. a dozen. '■Thus we have 97 eggs for 21 days at 24c. a dozen is $40.74; net (profit is $40.74 less $15.35 is $25.49 or $1.21 a day. Farmer Nos. 2 and 3 have a larger percentage, they fed in addition to the above formula, 2 pails of milk daily. Their daily profit was $1j63 per day.
