INSURANCE AGENT LOSES SHIRT A queer: tale of a barter of a cow for an insurance policy and a very gaody red flannel shirt is being told at the expense of a London insur- ance agent who decided to try his hand at barter in order to pep up his business. A farmer residing near Wingham was asked to buy an insurance po- licy and he replied that he would take' it if he'had the money. The ag- ent stated that he would take farm produce and hence the deal for the. cow. When he, came back with a trucker and the policy the farmer spied his red flannel shirt, which Seems to be the height of sartorial fashion among the local Beau Brum- mels in London. He hesitated before signing on the dotted line and the upshot of it was he gained the shirt. So now the record stands with one city : salesman who lust his shirt to a farmer. PORTER'S HILL Oh Sunday, in spite of, the rails, our church was' well filled at both services. Rev. Mr, Moorehouse of Goderich was the speaker, for the morning and delivered an exception- aily good sermon, Those who listen ed to his words will not soon forget his earnestness. He took as his sub- ject: "Our Forgetfulness and Falling. away from our First Love for God." A male quartette frons Bayfield gave two splendid numbers at the eveniisg service,: Rev. Mr. Moore,. Grand Bend;, was the speaker and was also very it-Am:esting, taking as .his sub- ject: "Spiritual Measurement of Our Lives." Misses Ellen Charlesworth. and Agnes Cameron sang a sweet duet, while a mixed quarteett from Taylors Corners, comprised of Mrs. Calvert, Mrs. 'A. Sturdy, A. Edwards and C. Whitely rendered two splendid numbers. The offering for the day amounted to around 5175. The church was beaiutiful, with autumn leaves and cut flowers. TUCKERSMITH Successful anniversary services were held in Turner's United church, Tuckersm ith, Sunday. Rev. G. G. Burton • of Ontario street United church, Clinton,. preached to large and attentive congregations. Janes T. Scott of Seaforth delighted With well -rendered solos. Wheat In Morning; Gems - For ;Slipper W. F. Alexander, Rush township farrier, believes he set a record when he ate wheat for supper that• had been growhig in the morning. He harvested his wheat in the morning with a combine which cuts and threshes in a single operation;. ground some of the wheat in the afternoon and his wife made wheat gems for supper. Beaver Cut Poplar Branch Mr. Elwell Webster handed to us a poplar branch that was cut off by the beavers which have built a dans on the farm of Rod McDougall, north of Lucknow. This colony of beavers are hard at work building huts for their winter home. They apflear to be very fond of poplar bark as they strip the bark off all the trees that they fell. Some of the trees that they have cut down are 6 inches thick. Many peo- ple have visited this spot to get a look at these industrious animals a t work but to do to one has to wear high rubber boots. Mrs: Webster's brother's farm is quite near to where the beavers are working and Mr. and Mrs. Webster have taken a great in- terest in watching the development of the colony. We have the poplar branch in our window which will give some idea of the way they can chew off a branch and strip the bark clean of the wood. —Wingham Advance -Tithes. Huron County Purchased New Snow Plow • The Comity of Huron has just• ac- cepted delivery of a new 59,000' com- bination snowplow, truck and scra- per, a powerful machine; the latest of its type.

Indian Comes Into Estate Kelly Ritchie, a full-blooded Chip- pawa'.Huron Indian, , was found at Gbderich. Monday by 'a friend, Gordon Aid of Wingham, who had been searching for him for a fortnight to give him the good news that the De,. partmbnt of Indian Affairs at Ottawa had decided, after eight years' nego- tiation, that he was the rightful heir to the estate of his father, the late Peter Ritchie of Cape Croker, 'con- sisting eon-sisting of farm property and annui- ties of several thousand dollars.

Painting is his hobby, he having several oil paintings which he has done, but when found he was paint- ing a wagon. He seemed to think he would devote himself to art, now that the problem of living will be sol- ved. • The total 1936 world apple crop will probably be between 420,000,000 and 450,000,000 bushels, compared with roughly 470,000,000 bushels in 1935 and 540,000,000 bushels in 1934, according to the Foreign Agricultur- al Servioe of the U.S. Bureau of Ag- ricultural Economics.
