I Expects 'Stewart Steer
to beat famous Yankee
36351b. Animal
Shorthorn of Huron Co.. Shows
Green Progress In a Year, •
But Hasn't Been Weighed
Yet.
(Loudon Free, Press)
In the Newyork Stock Exchange there
hangs s photograph of a Texas steer of
immense proportions presumed to be
the largest of which there' is any record
in the ()silted States. The spectator is
Informed' that animal weighed 3,635
pounds, ;rhd inference is that the world
is challenged to produce the animal's
equal.
Up in Huron county on the farm of
Charles Stewart is a four-year-old
Shorthorn not yet through growing
which is estimated to weigh 5,500. it is
Mr. Stewart's ambition. to fatten him
until be tips the beam at anything over
3,635. Then he will be satisfied.
"I want to beat the,Ytnkee," he con-
fided to a Free Press man who paid the
StewRrt farm a visit recently, "I think
1 can beat the weight of the steer whose
picture hangs at New York. This .steer
of ,nine may even go to two tons"
Seen By Thousands,
Not a resident of Huron or Bruce
counties urban or rural, but has heard
of "Charles Stewart's steer." Thous-
ands have seen him making special
trips to the farm 15 miles north of God
erich, to get a took at she, famous ani-
mal. Ile is a common subject of con-
versation on the streets of Lucknow,
Ripley, Kincardine and GoterIch.
Last year the Free Prees through the
kindness of Mr. Stewart was able to
publish a picture of the animal and a
list of measurements. In the interven-
ing year the steer has grown very not-
iceably. At that time it was estimated
he weighborhood of 3,000 pounds and
1f this was true be is not far off 3,50o
now, FIowever the fact remains that he
]las not been on the scales and it is im-
possible even for careful judges to app
roxjnrate itis weight within a few hund-
red pounds. And when the goal is at
such a high figure as 3,646 a couple of
hundred pounds is all the differernce in
the world.'
The steer however has • the franc
necessary to become a world-beater.
Big upstanding and strong, he is a very
likely animal to top all records, Nothing
in his ancestory he speaks the chain -
pion but he is thrifty and does well on
the feed w*th which he is _plentifully
suppled.
Ate Green Apples.
Recently the Stewart steer had an
indisposition, which cannot butrbe more
or less of a set -back. Obtaining• access
to some apples, he ate enough to dis-
arrange his system with the result that
there were fears expressed for his con
dition. The veterinaries were called in
during the crises, •
it is not uniikely thaf the steer may
be put on exhibition before long. There
are no classes for hint at the live stock
shows but as a midway attraction he
would be a genuine object of inteest at
least to most people. An offer of $2,-
000 from Wesley Snell of Exeter re-
cently failed to buy him and. Mr. Ste-
wart, says he wants $5,000: However
a Ripley man it is understood now has
an interest in the animal and it is pre-
sumed that the big Shorthorn will be
capitalized as a side show.

To the Citizens of Huron Co.
On behalf of the Executive of the Huron County Tem-
perance Association we wish to make an explanation as to.why
we are asking for the suspension of the Canada Temperance
Act.
On January 29th, 1914 The Canada Temperance Act
was carried by the people of Huron and we had the advantages
of more than two years of prohibition before the Ontario
Temperance Act was put into operation.
The law has been well administered and splendid re-
sults have been secured as a result of its strict enforcement
and the only reason for asking for its suspension is because the
New Provincial law is the superior in many ways, embodying
as it does many restrictions not covered by the C, T. A.
The Ontario Temperance Act can now be considered a
permanent prohibition act as it was adopted by the people
last October by a majority of over 250,000 after being.on trial
for three years.
In order that a change could be made from one Act to
lhe other the Dominion Government passed legislation in Sept
1'917 giving the power to the Governor -in -Council, to suspend
the operation of the C. T, A. ill any County in response to a
petition of twenty-five per cent. of the electors.
It is now proposed that such a petition shall be prepared
and the local organizations are being supplied with the neces-
sary forms to be circulated in their each municipality,
There. will be no voting on/ the question as only the
petition is required.
Among the many reasons that could be given for this
change the foilowing may be mentioned:' •
•i -The entire expense of enforcing the Ot T, A,• is paid by
by the Province whereas - at present the County
Council is called upon to bear. a share -of the ex-
penses of the C. T, A.
2---The•fines are 'much more severe under the, O. T. A.
some going as high as $2,000, while $100 is. the
heaviest fine that can be imposed under the C.'C,A,
3 -The provisions for enforcing the Provincial Act are bet-
ler, especially in the matter of securing evidence
by searches artd seizing of liquor in transit,. etc.
4 It is also illegal tinder the O. T, A. for a person to have
liquor in any place except a private dwelling:
Your County Officers have consulted with the Govern -
merit and License Board of Commissioners and are thoroughly
convinced that it is wise to make this change.
We ask for the co-operation of the Churches, Ministers,
Church members and local organizations to assist in securing
signatures to the petition forms which will be circulated some-
time during the early part of September,
1t is desired that all petition forms be returned to the
Field Secretary not later -than September 20th,
J. A, IRWIN, President,
A. T. COOPER Field Secretary.
