Glennie, Manager 1 AUTO THIEF GOES TO PRISON USE FOR WORTHLESS APPLES Judge Klein, of Walkerton, last week sentenced Adrian Hunt, a way­ ward youth of Paisley, to one year and eleven months in Central Prison for stealing an automobile and going for a joy ride. A youthful companion, who enjoyed the sport with Hunt, got a similar sentence, but was al­ lowed out on suspended sentence, two friends guaranteeing his future good conduct. Hunt and his companion broke into a garage at the Balmoral Hotel at Paisley, and taking a car belonging to Wm. Patterson, of Ches- ley, who wats staying at the Hotel, the two youths set out for Tees wat­ er. The car was taken about 8.30 o’clock and returned some time be­ fore morning. The lads were imme­ diately arrested and sent to Walker­ ton for trial. Young Hunt has a bad record as a law-breaker which ex­ plains the severity of his sentence. What may prove to be a valuable discovery has been made at Anna­ polis, Nova Scotia, in a method of exxtracting by-products from waste and otherwise useless apples. It has been found that even the most in­ tensely acid and usually worthless I apple may be so treated by a simple I process as to yield syrup which has I been pronounced eminently desirable 1 as a basis for other concoctions not hitherto so well supplied. And not only is this syrup valuable but an­ other by-product has become evident in deposits of calcium malite, the same article as is derived from maple ‘ syrup, and known as sugar sand. Be­ fore the war the Germans bought this up extensively in Quebec at about six shillings or more per pound as a source of malic acid. The process is being treated in two evaporators and may lead to the development of an entirely new industry in Nova Scotia. Sentinel ublished every Thursday morning at Lucknow. Ontario. A. D.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27th., 1921 A CAPITAL IDEA As stated in our news columns last week, the Lucknow Fire Company have undertaken the commendable task of providing the town with a memorial to the Lucknow soldiers who fell in the great war. The aim of the Fire Company is to convert the small park just north of the Presbyterian Church, into a thing of beauty—to have it suitably laid out in plots and walks and planted with ornamental trees, shrubs and flowers. In the centre will be erected a memorial shaft. That, at any rate, is what we understood the present aim to be. The park, at present, is a mere “Commons”, producing wild grass and weeds, and little used even as a playground. The idea of converting this park into a suitable memorial to our fall­ en soldiers is a good one and it is hoped that the Fire Company will get the public support necessary to carrying it out in a suitable manner. This will take money and work. It should be remembered that the Fire Company has no income or rev­ enue producing business. It has to depend upon field days, concerts, dances, etc., for the raising of mon­ ey. It endeavors always to give good value for the fee charged, and funds are put to good use, being invariab­ ly expended for charitable or patrio­ tic purposes. The fitting up of the park is a big undertaking, and its maintenance, after it is put in shape, will also be a consideration. But the Fire Company rarely falls down in its undertaking, and the people of Lucknow have al­ ways taken a foremost place in pat­ riotic work. THE TWO BRUCES There’s going to be a lively time all over Bruce County until the last ballot is marked on December 6th. North Bruce as well as South Bruce has three candidates in the field bid­ ding for a place in the next parlia­ ment. The candidates are: Hugh Clark, Conservative, Kincardine Town; Jas. A. Malcolm, Liberal, also of Kincardine; and R. E. Stacey, U. F. O.—more correctly “Progressive”, farmer, of Amabel Township. Mr. Clark is proprietor of the Kin­ cardine Review. He represented South Bruce in the last two parlia­ ments and for a time during the war was Secretary for External Affairs. Before entering the Dominion Parli­ ament he was in the Ontario Legis­ lature, and has always been regarded as a strong candidate. Mr. James Malcolm is a manufact­ urer of high-class furniture. He is a wealthy man and has long been pro­ minent in his town. Though active in the Liberal Party, he has not before been a candidate. His entering the field will make Mr. Clark’s position much more difficult as he will divide the ton vote with him. Mr. Stacey, of course, is new in politics and will have to depend upon U. F. O. enthusiasm and organiza­ tion for strength. The situation in North Bruce is much the same as it is in the south riding, with the difference that the old-timer in the north is a Conserva­ tive, whilt in the south he is a Lib­ eral. In both cases the two opponents of the farmer member are new men. has also been said that he has a great fund of sarcasm and that he does not spare it. His opponents are .occasionally flayed alive. With the country in its present mood, this is perhaps not a source of strength. Mr. Crerar does not indulge in per­ sonalities, nor does he denounce pol­ icies of his opponents. He assumes that Messrs. Meighen and King are sincere, and that the politicians of the past were the victims of a bad system, and of bad habits of thought. He tells his hearers plainly what he thinks the better course and what he will endeavor to carry into effect should his party control the next House of Commons. And the people believe that he is perfectly sincere. He is accused of having stopped a government enquiry into the business operations ’of the Grain Growers Grain Company. He explains that he and his associates became convinced that the enquiry was intended not to make an honest investigation and finding, but to make a report that would be unfair and damaging to the Grain Company and its managers. The investigation, he says, was poli; tical—that is instituted for political effect. When he is through with the election, he says, the investigation may go on and he is not afraid that any wrong-doing will be found. --------0-0-0--------- THE CRIME WAVE Never before in the history of this country has there been such a suc­ cession of dare-devil robberies with gun-play and shootings as have marked the past six months. So many banks and stores have been entered by gun-men that one becomes con­ fused in talking of them. The affair at Wyoming on Thurs­ day of last week, was on a bigger scale and more successful than any of the others, but it was typical of what has been done or attempted time and again throughout the coun­ try in the past few months. An automobile drove up to the Bank of Toronto branch in the small and quiet village of Wyoming. Four men jump out, enter the bank and cover the staff with guns. Two cus­ tomers are in and are ordered to lie flat on the floor, face down under penalty of being shot. There are a few guns in the bank, but nobody dares to make a move. The robbers mean business and intend to shoot. Having gathered up all the cash in sight, the bandits leave, get into their car and are away at high speed before anything can be done. It is the James Bros, game brought up to date, and practiced right in the heart of civilization. Jesse James and his comrades were expert horse­ men and took to the open country as a means of escape. The modern rob­ bers go to the city and are lost in the crowd. The James gang were as­ tonishingly successful until a nervy private citizen of Northfield, Dakota, shot down two of the men on the street while the others were in the bank. These two shots wrecked the gang. Something of this kind will have to be done in this province before the wave of crime will subs:de. It is an accepted rule with the police that when a robbery is successfully car­ ried out, it will shortly be followed by other like robberies by different gangs. When the robbers are shot down or captured, there is an oppos­ ite effect. Civilians, however, are slow and awkward in the use of fire­ arms, while the robbers are daring and skillfull. This epidemic of robbery is plainly a fruit of the war. Even men, who were not in the army, became vio­ lent in the contemplation of so much shooting and killing. Up to the present time the police have made rather a sorry showing as compared with the criminals. But eventually the police will win out.

Premier Meighen spoke at Clinton and Goderich, and Mr. Crerar ad­ dressed meetings at Wingham and Walkerton. Both were greeted by immense audiences at all four places and each appear to have made a very favor­ able impresion upon the public. It is noticeable that neither is re­ garded as an orator in the ordinary meaning of that word; but both are described as solid argumentative speakers, forceful and easily under­ stood. A new type of public speaker has arisen—the kind the people want. The ordinary citizen takes his polU I tics more seriously than he did form­ erly, and he wants explanation, not a lot of bombastic declamation such as he msed to get from the old-style “war-horse”. Even those who do not intend to support Mr. Meighen, say that his ability must be admitted. He speaks well and is a great debater, But it RELEASED THE FOXES (Port Elgin Times) The fox farm of Messrs. R. J. Ran- ney and Dr. Phillips, near the lake­ shore here, was visited on Friday night by some miserable mischief- maker, and the door of one of the wire pens wrenched off, allowing four of the foxes to escape. Dr. Phil­ lips, on learning of the dirty work next morning, armed himself with a shot gun, and while another party beat the swamp surounding their farm, he took up position in an ad­ jacent field and shot three of the four escaped Reynards as they crossed the clearing, the remaining fox making good its getaway from the Dr.’s un­ erring aim. This is the second time that the pens here have been tamper­ ed with, about three years ago their entire pen of foxes being given their freedom by some mischievous indi­ vidual in the same manner. What will the jokesmiths do when skirts are made longer? —Norfolk Ledger Dispatch, BOY ACCIDENTLY SHOT AND INSTANTLY KILLED Tragedy stalked into the midst of a throng of merry, laughing, care­ free school boys at Atwood, on a re­ cent Saturday afternoon, when by the accidental discharge of a shot gun, John Thompson, 10-year-old son of Robt. and Mrs. Thompson was almost instantaneously killed. The boys were out rabbit hunting and about 4 o’clock in the afternoon were in the lane near young Thompson’s home, when the lad missed a screw from his shotgun. He and two or three of his companions at once commenced a search of the ground in their imme­ diate vicinity. While they were doing this another companion named John Mitchell, aged 13, came up and re­ marking that he thought he had a screw in his pocket that would fit Thompson’s gun, he began to search for it. In shifting the shotgun that he carried, however, the trigger was pulled, either by catching in his clothing or being caught by his finger and the charge passed directly through young Thompson from ear to ear, tearing a terrible hole as it passed through. Medical aid was at once summoned, but the lad died about half an hour later without re­ gaining consciousness. Dr. Weir, At­ wood, coroner for the district, after investigating the accident, decided that the tragic end to the lad’s after­ noon of fun was purely accidental and that it was not necessary to hold an inquest. This is surely a loud warning to boys, and men also, to be careful in the handling of fire arms. ---------0-0-0--------- THE SUCCESSFUL WORKER THE NEWSPAPER MAN Bit of a priest and bit of a sailor, bit of a doctor and bit of a tailor, bit of a lawyer and bit of detective, bit of a judge, for his work is correc­ tive; cheering the living and soothing the dying, risking alll things, even dare-devil flying; true to his paper and true to his clan, just look him over, the newspaper man. Sleep! There are times when he’ll do with a little, work till his nerves and his temper are brittle; fire cannot daunt him, nor long hours disturb him; gold cannot buy him and threats cannot curb him; highbrow or low­ brow, your own speech he’ll hand you, talk as you will to him, he’l under­ stand you; he’ll go wherever another man can. That is the way of the newspaper man. Surgeon, if urgent the need be, he- T find him, ready to help, nor with dizziness blind him. He’ll give the ether and never once falter, say the last rites like a priest at the altar; gentle and kind with the weak and the weary, which is proved now and then when his keen eye grows teary. Facing all things in life’s curious plan, that is the way of the news­ paper man. One night" a week he may rest from his labor, one night at home to be fathei* and neighbor, just a few hours for his own bit of leisure, all the rest’s toiling, and yet he rejoices, all the world is, and men do, he voices —who knows a calling more glorious than the day-by-day work of the newspaperman.—Edgar A.
