Teams competed from all over Ontario. Clinton and Windsor teams were very close for the top posi- tion, but the local boys bad enough edge to enable them to head the list.

Mr. Hill was a speaker at the meeting of farmers of Clinton and vicinity held in the Agricultural room on Satur- day afternoon. James Leiper of Hullett Townhip was appointed chair- man. "Approximately 100 farmers attended and many questions were asked. Mr. Hill stated that delicate children particularly are susceptible to contract the disease. And that if there was only one child saved from the disease by restrictive measures it would be well worth while. Speak- ing from a business point of view, Mr. Hill and Mr. Shearer who fol- lowed him in speaking, said that if the Ontario cattlemen are going to retain an export market for cattle they will have to adopt T. B. testing under government regulations. Can- ada is an exporting country. Best markets for our cattle are the United States and Great Britain and in order to sell- in these . markets, cattle must be T.B. free. Mr. Shearer explained the methods practiced in determining. the reaction of 'LB. test and the scale of compensation pe ration allowed by the gov- ernment for animals in various stages of the disease. The maxi- mum for pure bred stock is $100 and for grade $40, Fertilizer grades. that is animals that are diseased in all parts bring only the price of the hide. It was desired that Ale plan adopted in previous meetings be con- tinued here which is a canvass of all the -farmers in this area ,and for that purpose canvassers were ap- pointed. They are, Town of Clinton, C. G. Middleton; Goderich township, Holmesville, Alex. Glenn, Lorne Jer- vis; S.S. No. 11, Frank Powell, John Deeves. S.S. No. 4, B. W.

The Community 'Writ As Christmas approaches with its spirit of goodwill and happiness, it is fitting that our thoughts should turn to those who unless they re- ceive outside assistance, will be un- able to enjoy the Christmas season. To this end various organizations in Clinton each year seek to raise funds in order to provide a inertsure of halppiness to these, in straightened circumstances. The Women's Institute will start things off this year with an interest- ing evening's entertainment, an- nouncement of which is made else- where in this paper. Efforts will be made 'Sy other organizations be- fore Christmas to raise funds. In each case the work is deserving and worthy of the support of those who are able to contribute. We should strive to remember' that it takes more than a red coat and white whiskers to make a Santa Claus. Rev., W. A.

An amusing story has just come to light - concerning a farmer living near Clinton who set out with a shot- gun and determined to capture chick- en thieves, but got a free ride in- stead. This man .lives close to the high- way and from his bedroom window has a good view of approaching traf- fic. Lying snug in bed one night mulling over in his mind the events of the day the hour of midnight found the fanner sleepless.,By this time traffic had decreased nticeably. Then a truck came up the highway and stopped close to his farm. The lights; were switched off and the engine left: running. This aroused the farmer's curiosity, and as he possesses a fine flock of chickens his thoughts net urally turned to chicken thieves. Slipping out of bed he peered out the window, but the night was dark. and nothing was apparently stirring• yet the truck still remained. Dressing• hurriedly he went downstairs, reached for the shotgun and out of the door,, forgetting however to change his carpet slippers. Reaching the truck he found no one there so decided to climb up in order that he might see further afield. Suddenly without warning the gears were engaged and away went the truck, farmer and shotgun! The thoughts that passed through his hind as the truck gained speed. will never be known. He had lots of time for reflection as he got a free ride for well over/two miles. Then the truck stopped. Mr. Farmer hurriedly climbed off the, back heav- ing a sigh of relief and thankfulness. The trucic went on its way while he shouldered the shotgun and headed for home. Somewhere on the journey one of the carpet slippers was lost and the going- was not so good. . It was .sonie time later that a tired and wiser man again crawled into bed re- flecting that curiosity does not pay,. but in his ease luta proved to be a good remedy for insomnia.
