TOWNSHIP BOYS DISPUTE
CLAIM
The claim of concession 9, Kincar-
dine township that on it in. less than
two miles reside 15 girls under 7 con-
stitute a record is disputed by north
line residents. In less than a mile on
that road, in the vicinity of the school
I are, to use the words of residents, "7
big, bright, husky boys under the age
of 4." It is pointed out that "if all
these boys travel to the ninth to
'court all the beauties there, they will
be quite popular, but 50 per cent of
the girls might be left in the lurch."

HOGS CAN BE STUBBORN
LOGAN FARMER DISCOVERS
Accidents happen In peculiar ways.
For instance when Edwin Mogk,
Logan, was in the act of loading a
hog on his farm, the animal took a
notion to return to the stall. In an
effort to stop him Mr. Mogk stuck his
foot out, the hog crashing against it
with such force that the large bone
in his foot was splintered. He was
taken to Stratford Hospital for X-ray
and a cast was required which has
now been removed. He suffe'r'ed in-
tense pain as a result of the injury.

GOING TO BE BEVY OF
BEAUTIES
There's s going• to be a bevy of beau-
tiful young ladies on concession 9,
Kincardine township, 0 n farms
which cover less than two miles on
the concession are 15 girls, all under
the age of 7 years. Residents of the
concession believe that this consti-
tutes an unique record and are proud
not only of it but the girls themselves,
for they are the only children in this
area under the age of 7 years.
What is at least a most unusual oc-
currence, if not a record for the dis-
trict, was established this week, with
the death of a 30 -year-old pony own-
ed by Dr. J. G. Grieve, well known
Seaforth veterinary surgeon.
For many years the pony, which
was raised by Dr. Grieve, was a fain-
iliar sight on Seaforth and district
