.Judge E. W. Clement, Kitchener,
presiding at'.the County Court, at
Goderich Tuesday of last week, re
served judgment pending submis
sion of written argument in the suit
of Ezra Willard, Hensall trucker,
who is seeking $569.48 with inter
est from William Devereax and Mi
chael Murray, cattle .buyers, of Sea
forth. He claims this amount is
due him for trucking cattle to Tor
onto for the defendants. In his evi
dence Willard said he was engaged
by the defendants to truck cattle
to Toronto for $15 a trip, which
covered all expenses. He had been
told by both men that they were
partners in buying cattle. Murray
always paid him the cheques. Dever
eaux went with him on the truck
with the cattle. He claimed he
kept an accurate account but agreed
that credit for two items of $5O'
should be credited which were not
shown in his account book.
Michael Murray state there was
a partnership between him and De
vereaux and that he had a note
from the latter for $6Of) to put in
the cattle business. They were to
bear the losses equally and'profits
were to be divided. He said he paid
funeral expenses of a relative of
Devereaux and money on a mort
gage for him. He admitted to
Judge Clement that the cattle busi
ness was a failure.
William Devereaux, 72, said he
was working for Murray. He never
keep any record of the buying and
selling. He gave the cheques re
ceived for the cattle to Murray. He
said he never paid Willard any
money.

Good Weather
Speeds Work
Farmers Are Gleaning Up Harvest
Season
Never since days were fine have I
farmers made better 'use of good
weather than they have during the
last ten days. The last fields have
been harvested and every bit of
land fit for cultivation has been got
at to the limit. The farmers with
tractors and who. have had fields
that would admit of the use of
heavy machinery have their plow
ing done and their fall wheat sown,
though not within the memory of
any farmer in this district has the
fall wheat been sown as late as
this year.
One serious problem has been the
threshing. Farmer after farmer re
ports that his grain was threshed
so wet that the straw is rotting and
that the grain was so wet that it ran
from the machine with difficulty.
Stook threshing has received a ser
ious black eye for the most part.
The difficulty, however, is not
over when the grain has been
threshed. Farmers are finding that
a great deal of the grain is already
musty and are wondering how ser
iously this will affect the feeding
value. Experience has proven that
cattle fed on mouldy grain 'usually
have some ill condition overtake
them as sprang approaches. Farm
ers aware of this are exposing their
grain to the sunlight and fresh ali
as they have found that there are
no purifiers as cheap and as effec
tive as there natural agents.
These farmers thoroughly dry
the grain in the sunlight, as far as
possible and afterwards give it
a thorough fanning.
SUGAR BEETS
Sugar beets are being lifted and
are proving a good .crop. Consider
able anxiety is felt regarding the
sugar content of these beets. It is
believed that the absence of the
sunshine will affect this feature of
the crop.
The local factory is in the midst
of its corn manufacture. The yield
has proven fairly satisfactory,
though the wetness of the ground
is making it difficult for the trucks
to get the corn 'from the fields.
Squirrels are proving a destruc
tive nuisance. Farmers and garden
ers are deeply resentful that the
black squirrel is protected by law.
These pests are eating their way
through bags containing grain and
chop, entering households where
they destroy doors and boxes by
their gnawing, and eating the bot
toms out of mangers.
The corn borer is again much in
evidence. As 'usual it is $e , care
less corn handler who will not clean
up who is blamed for the present
condition.
Potatoes are not a satisfactory
crop, few reporting up to average
in yield, while rot is appearing both
in the field and after the potatoes
have been harvested.
Rain Sunday and Monday have
again delayed the bean harvest.
Some of the foeans are not yet ready
to harvest and more fine weather
is needed.
WOODHAM DRIVER FINED
Thomas G. Hern, R.R. 1, Wood
ham, was fined $50 and costs of
$41.40 when found guilty by magis
trate J. A. Makins in police court
at Stratford o<f reckless driving. The
court recommended that Hern’s
driving license be suspended for
12 months. The charge was laid
following an accident in highway
No. 7 and 8 about a mile and a
half east of Shakespeare early in
the morning of August 31. Hern’s
car, carrying passengers to the Can
adian National Exhibition at Tor
onto, crashed into the rear of a
parked truck driven by Harry Fox
of Toronto. Four people were in
jured in the accident. No evidence
was offered in charges against Fox
of parking the truck on the tra
veled portion of the highway, and

RESEARCH COUNCIL LEADS
StTENTIFIC EFFORT
during war
Born and .conceived during the
last great war to compete against
a scientifically highly - developed
efttmy power, the National Re
search Council of Canada was ready
and equipped to renew the struggle
against the same enemy at the start
of the present conflict.
Virtually overnight scientists of
the Research Council, with a mini
mum of apparent effort that sug
gested careful planning and pre
paredness, abandoned their peace
time pursuits to bend all efforts to
wards greater efficiency in the war
effort. In many cases, however,
peacetime, activities, were found to
be closely related to problems aris
ing out of war.
Now well over 80 per cent, of
the Council’s work is directly con
nected with the war. Hundreds of
projects, tests, examinations and
studies have been undertaken. Val
uable assistance is rendered to the
Department of Munitions and Sup
ply in regards the equivalency of
British and Canadian specifications.
So that no valuable war invention
would be pigeon-holed, a special in
ventions’ board was set up to exam
ine innumerable ideas and inven
tions, which pour in upon the gov
ernment at the rate of about 300
per month.
In the mechanical engineering
laboratories, with equipment for
aeronautical and liydrodynamieal
problems, every war day is crowd
ed with new research. Wind tun
nels, engine testing apparatus, mo
del-testing basins for water crafts,
are used for scores of studies on
fighter aircraft, tests of fuel, plane
engines, flying instruments, mine
sweepers, .corvettes and other craft
of the 'Canadian Navy.
A modern building to house aero
dynamics laboratories is being
rushed to completion. Planned by
the Council when Major-General G.
L. MaoNauhton was its president
and inspiration, this new laboratory
of great importance in a war of
{aerial combat, has been espoused by
Dean C. J. McKenzie, Acting Presi
dent of the Research Council, as a
favorite enterprise.
The physics division has render
ed particularly useful service thro’
its metrology section, where a gauge
testing laboratory has been set up.
A supply of gauges, accurately test
ed and verified, has been built ur
and made available for industrial
plants engaged 'in the production
of munitions and war equipment.
The attention of experts, in the
chemistry section, is focused on
numerous problems on war sup
plies, the subjects ranging from gas
masks and aeroplane de-icers to
textiles and alloys.
TAYLOR — HOHNER
A pretty autumn wedding was
solemnized at ten o’clock Friday
morning of last week at the United
church manse, Bayfield, when Ber
tha .Mae, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
William Hohner, Varna, Ont., be
came the bride of Harvey William
Taylor, son of Mr. William Taylor,
Varna, and the late Mrs. Taylor.
Rev. H. Currie, pastor of St. An
drew’s United church, officiated.
The 'bride was becomingly gowned
in a dress of queen’s blue alpaca
sheer. Miss Wila Jarvis, Clinton,
was 'bridesmaid, wearing a dress of
black satin with matching acces
sories. Robert D. Taylor, Varna,
brother of the bridegroom was best
man and Murray Hohner, brother
of the bride was also an attendant
After the ceremony the wedding
party repaired to the home of the
bride’s parents, where a wedding
dinner was served. The bride’s
table, centred with the wedding
cake was decorated with autumn
flowers. The bride’s mother wore
a dress of cream crepe with cor
sage of Talisman roses. The bride
groom’s gift to. the bridesmaid was
a compact and to the best man a
hill fold. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor
left on a honeymoon to Detroit, the
bride wearing a navy blue dress,
with accessories to match. They will
reside on the bridegroom’s farm
at Varna.
SEVERE SHORTAGE OF
POTATOES EX PE('I’ED
There is going to be a severe
shortage of late potatoes this year,
according to several district farm
ers, due to the heavy rains of the
spiing and early summer. The price
has not increased appreciably yet,
because the early potatoes were not
greatly affected by the damp, but
when all the early potatoes have
been used and the late potatoes are
all that are left, the price is ex
pected to soar.
Potatoes which were planted in
rolling ground survived the rains
best, hut those which wore planted
in low ground, and there were
many, were washed out altogether,
grew with spindly stalks and pro
duced potatoes the size of marbles,
or rotted away. A good many of
the local farmers will not have
enough potatoes to meet their own
needs, much less to sell to the gen
eral public. Indeed, a number of
them are considering buying a sup
ply from tho wholesalers.

Hagersville Takes Serond Game
Feeling’ Runs High
Hagersville took revenge on their
home diamond on Saturday when
they defeated Hensall 6 to 3 in the
second round.
The game was highlighted by a
free-for-all between the players in
the third inning which resulted in
Thomas, third baseman for Hagers
ville, and Kerslake, backstop for
Hensall, being banished from the
game. The fight occurred when
Thomas spiked Kerslake in at
tempting to reach home on Mehlen-
bacher’s double. When the Hensall
catcher came to his feet he jumped
on Thomas with the result that
players of both teams were soon
mixing it freely. In the meantime
Mehlenbacher came home, the run
being protested by Hensall but al
lowed by the umpire. In addition
two players, Kell, of Hagersville,
and Hudson, of Hensall, were in
jured while running bases and were
carried off, both returning when
their teams took the field. (
Kell hurled a steady game, al
lowing eight scattered hits, three
walks and striking out two. M.
Tudor, on the mound for Hensall,
was hit for nine safeties, fanned
one and passed two. Nine errors, occurred during the game, five be-1
ing charged to Hensall. Hagers
ville lost a number of scoring op-1
portunities by weird base running,
two being caught off the sacks afidi
three nailed in attempting to steal'
second. j
Stade drove out a homer for Hen-)

Robert Sna?;el, of Goderich. ad
vertising salesman, well known in
Exeter, appeared before Magistrate
Makins in Goderich and it required
half an hour for the Magistrate to

rectory that was never printed, he
keeping the down payment ranging
