The entry in the tractor -classes was particularly heavy and one of the surprises of the day came in the open class for tractors when, George Robertson, a lad of 14 from .near Auburn car­ ried off the honors against T, P*. O’Malley, of Teeswater, a veteran prize-winner at many matches. There were some pretty fine fur­ rows ’ turned during the day and many were the comments as the spectators walked up and down the headlands examining the work. The attendance was considered larger than usual. The number of plow­ men taking part and the large crowd of spectators was an indication that the coming of the International plowing match to Huron next year is creating a great deal of interest. The Happy Quilting Gang of the second concession of Stephen had a busy time. They provided din­ ner for the plowmen at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Penbale and during the afternoon served wieners, sand­ wiches and coffee and little was left over at the finish, With a drizzling rain in the early morning and speculation rife as to wether the match would go on or be called off, the women were the ones that were worried the most as their prepara­ tions for serving a large crowd had already been completed.

It had trained many young men from this community as well as most of the ministers that have been stationed here. The University has a heritage Of which it might well be proud and at the same time has a great res­ ponsibility. He spoke of three dimensions, length, and depth. We measure the of a man by his interests, business, in his surroundings, and in his play. The third dimension. Is what people call wisdom, measured by the depth of their insight. The best people of every age have sought wisdom. Some people see no more in their work than their pay* Civ­ ilization has been built by men with some purpose in life. Educa­ tion has had a tremendous place in the advance of civilization. * The dark night of superstition driven dut of the world is able to walk the world The uneducated man sits row world. Education has made man more sensitive to the needs of the people around him. The im­ portant thing is that man has fire within his own soul and that those fires be lit. It is the religious man that seeks and finds truth. Amidst the dittos and confusion of life the religion a man gets gives him a sense of direotion, a consciousness of where he is ®oing. The greatness of a nation is measured by the greatness of its people. The great task of a university is to develop wise men. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”——w——— Mr, Sidney Davis, of town, IS confined to his bad through illness, Judging Results Prize winners in the classes were as follows: Class 1, director in charge, John.
