For a colt from Rob Roy out of Din

When the judges got through they
stepped up to the bar
Where Pat had his whiskey corked up
in a jar,
They each took a swig and the sample
was rare,
So they gave it a prize at Donnybrook
Fair.
They liked it so well that they tried
it again
And when they got tight they stripped
off to the skin,
When they got in a passion how their
eyes they did glare,
Saying we’ll give them a thrashing at
Donnybrook, Fair.

Deadly Cattle Disease
Found at Belleville
Belleville — A disease known as
black leg or black quarter was report
ed by dairymen to have broken out
at two widely separated points in this
district. A Rawdown Township farm
er said some of his stock were infect
ed but after inoculation of his 45 head
satisfactory progress was noted. This
week a heifer owned by George Mc
Cullough of Foxboro died from the
disease. The black leg germ lives in
the soil and enters the blood stream
of the animal through a wound or mu
cous membrane, veterinaries report.
Certain types of soil appear to suit
the parasite and once the ground
infected it remains so for years.

Toronto —t Premier Mitchell Hep

compromise but also without blood

Municipalities Can Accept Ottawa’s
Work Plan Funds
In definite clarification of its atti
tude toward Ottawa’s works project
proposition to the municipalities, the
Hepburn Government ruled for the
first time that where such projects
are necessary and “in the interests of
the taxpayers” they may be submitted
to the Federal Government for pay
ment by way of direct grant of 50%
of the labor costs. All such applica
tions, however, must first be made to
the Ontario Municipal Board, which
was set up, Queen Park asserts, “for
the purpose of controlling capital ex
penditures,” and has no intention of
releasing the Provincial brake on
municipal debt. The municipalities
will have to establish that the work
contemplated is necessary and that in
currence of further debt is in the tax
payers’ welfare.

With opening of the new school
year in September, the third year of
the new course of studies will be in
troduced into the collegiate institutes,
high, vocational and continuation
schools of the province.
The third year known as grade XI
provides for specialization in any one
of several fields including industrial
shop work, agriculture, arts, and crafts,
household arts or commercial sub
jects, depending on the individual
pupil. An academic course is given
for those who seek matriculation into
the university and a general course for
those who prefer 'to spend less time
on the study of languages and more
on commercial work or shop work or
economics.
In the first year of the course in
the secondary schools, pupils under
the new curriculum obtain a taste of
languages, business practice, shop
work and home economics or music
and art.
The course in Grade IX, intended
to be of a general character and which
aims at helping the individual pupil
to determine his natural inclinations
and aptitudes, dovetails into the grade
X course with its greater degree of
specialization in the field which the
pupil chooses. This specialization is
carried to a much higher degree in
grade XI..
