1,700 in Attendance at
Hensall Annual Stock Show
Margaret MacGregor, pretty Hen
sail brunette, was- the individual
star of the show Friday afternoon
of last week, when 1,70.0 people
thronged into Hensall fair grounds
for the annual stock show presented
by the South Huron Agricultural
Society. Riding in competition for
the first time, Miss MacGregor en
tered the open saddle class with her
own five-year-old mare, Betty, and
took first prize, 'She was the only
woman rider in the class.
Miss MacGregor has owned and
ridden Betty since the rider, was a
small girl and the mare was less
than a year old, but nevei’ before
yesterday had the combination ven
tured into competitive riding.
A large turnout of pure-bred beef,
cattle of the three leading breeds,
and keen competition in the
draught and agricultural horse
classes were the leading features
of the stock show, which attracted
72 horsps and 110 head of cattle,
all of the latter beef types; there
were no classes for dairy breeds.
Aberdeen-Angus Lead
Aberdeen-Angus fanciers had
their moment of triumph when
judging results were announced in
the class for market cattle herds.
Edwards Brothers, of Watford, who
took four firsts in the Aberdeen-
Angus classes, went on to show a
herd of one bull and three females
which scored top on the grounds,
edging out a -Hereford herd entry
shown by W. S. O’Neill, of Den-
field. A Shorthorn herd, shown by
Parker and Sons, .placed third,
while Aberdeen-Angus cattle took
fourth place, and a Hereford herd
fifth.
Hugh Berry, of /Woodham, judg
ing the horse classes, took plenty
of time to reach a decision, before
awarding the championshii) for
draught and agricultural horses to
an animal shown by Peter Fraser,
of Ilderton.
"You were up against strong
competition here,” the judge said,
as he handed the red ribbon to Mr.
Fraser. Runner-up for the cham
pionship was an animal shown by

the provinces together with the
prime minister’s unyielding insist
ence they be accepted in total,

Astounded by Proposals
Provincial governments were
"astounded” by the tax proposal
made at Ottawa, Mr. Douglas said.
At any other time the provincial
premiers would have “put on theix*
hats and gone home.*’ He pointed
out that only one province accept
ed all the tax measures suggested
■by Mr. King, and athough others
made certain concessions, the prime
ministex* did not recede from his
position on any point.
The speaker said the Federal
Government went to the conference
when it was in a desperate finan
cial position and was fully prepared
to make the meeting an election
issue. It was for that reason "Tory
Ontario” was singled out and pil
loried by Ottawa, and it was only
the attitude of Quebec in support
of Premier Drew’s views which up
set calculations of the Liberal
Party, he said.
