SUCCESSFUL ANNIVERSARY Rev. J. B. Rhodes M.A., minister of Caven Church from 1929 to 1933 returned on Sunday to his old con­ gregation to conduct the anniversary services. Despite rather unpleasant weather large congregations greet­ ed him both morning and evening and were highly pleased with his fine messages. Throughout the en­ tire visit Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes were kept constantly busy meeting old friends and renewing acquaintances. In the morning Mr. Rhodes took his text from Roman VIII 12. “Therefore brethren, we are debt­ ors.’’ He spoke of all of us being debtors in regard to all that we hold worthwhile, debtors to the past, debt­ ors to the pioneers who settled the district, debtors to the Christian Church, debtors to God. The evening sermon was based on John VI 68 and 69 “Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that Thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.” In these days there are many who declare Christianity inadequate and who seek some pther way of life. In certain countries Christianity has been discarded. But it is well to see what is the alternative offered us be­ fore We give up our faith and if we do this we shall see that giving up Christianity will not solve our pro­ blems, but rather will create bigger difficulties. Only the Christian faith the knowledge of God Jesus Christ can offer sure guidance. At both services the for the musical portions in excellent fashion. Mrs. A. E. Elliot sang as a solo “The Lord’s My Shepherd” in the morning and at night “How Lovely are Thy Dwelling Places.” There were two anthems at each service, “A Harvest Song of Praise” and “Lead Us, O Father” In the morning with solo parts taken by Mrs, Dore and Mrs. G. Lamont. The evening anthems were “Great is the Lord” and “The Shadows Fall”, Sillery, Mr. Middlemiss and Skinner taking solo parts.

At the sittings of the Division Court at Exeter on Wednesday last, the action brought by Gus Trentow­ sky against George Hepburn over feeding cattle in 193 8 was tried be­ fore His Honour Judge Costello. According to an agreement in writing dated October 21st, 193(8, signed by the parties, Trentowsky argeed to feed for Hepburn until May 1st, 1939, or later, 20 cattle at 9c. a pound gain and $10.00 over the gain. When the cattle were de­ livered in May of 193:9, Hepburn paid Trentowsky for the gain at the agreed price and offered him the $10.00 over the gain on the 20 lead, but Trentowsky claimed $10. over the gain on each beast or a total of $200.00, for which he sub­ sequently sued. .Hepburn paid into Court the $10.00 previously offered. , According to the pounds gained the extra $10.00 claimed on each beast would bring the cost per pound gain to approximately 13 %c, where­ as evidence given by experienced cattle men of long standing that the last year to a high At the the Judge gave Judgment finding that according to the true construc- ton of the Agreement, Trentowsky was entitled to only $10.00 over the gain on the whole 20 head and accordingly allowed him the amount which was paid into Court, charging him in turn with fees for witnesses burn.

RENEW NOW PLOWING MATCH IS BEST ON RECORD All records were broken for the South Huron plowing match which was held on the farm of Mr. Percy Stone, a half mile east of Thames Road church on Friday of last week. [The weather was ideal. ’ Interested spectators kept coming and going all I day long and while there is no way 1 of keeping an accurate record of those in attendance it is estimated that there must have been from 1,500 to 1,800 persons present. At I any rate it was the largest attend- [ance at this popular event in years, | The number of participants in the”' match was also beyond that of other ! years. When the plowmen arrived in the morning it was found that there were more than had been plan- i ned for and the ground had to be re-staked in a hurry to make the necessary accommodation. In all there were twenty-one teams present and sixteen tractors, and when the shades of evening fell, Mr. Stone had some 18 acres of ground plow­ ed with some of the best plowing to be found anywhere. Mr. Frank Bell, of St. Paul's was the judge and he said the general work was among the finest he had seen. I One of the interesting events of the day was the plowing of two fur­ rows by non-farmers for prizes of­ fered by Reeve P. Passmore, of Us- borne, the secretary of the organiza­ tion. Several Exeter business men ‘competed and their work revealed the fact that plowing is not as easy as it looks. Several representatives from the County council were present includ­ ing Reeve S. Leiper, of Hullett; Reeve Haacke, of Goderich, ex-war­ den of Huron and Reeve F. Feagan, of Colborne and each plowed a fur­ row. W. H. Golding, M.P., was also an interested onlooker. The ladies of the Thames Road W. M. S. provided refreshments. A banquet will be held in the Thames Road Church next month under the auspices of the association at which the prize money will be paid. J, A. Carroll, director of fairs for Ontario, will be the guest speaker. The officers of the association were more than pleased with the success of the event. are: w. T.
