NO BLAME ATTACHED. LN KI•PPEN ACCIDENT The ,inquest into the death of Mabel Ritter, of Hauttiingdon, W. Virginia, in an auto accident at Kippen on Aug- ust 9th, was held in the town hall,. Seaforth, on Tuesday afternoon. "We unanimously agree that Mabel Ritter came to leer death in a car driv- en. by Mr, Stillwell on August 9th on Highway No, 4, at Kippen, Ont., and the attach no blame to anyone,” Dr. F. J. Burrows, coroner, presided over the inquest and Crown Attorney D. E. Ilolmes, of Goderich, examined the witnesses. The members of the jury were; James \1eClymont, foreman; Thomas Butt, W. E, Butt, Wesley French, W. T. Kyle, R, J. Cooper, Emerson Kyle, Clifford Watson. According to the evidence, the acci- dent occurred as Stillman, his wife and nine-year-old daughter, accontp- anied by their niece :were returning to their Columbus, Ohio, home when the car suddenly ran from the road and crashed into a tree. The Ritter girl was instantly killed while the other occupants were seriously injured, Mrs. Stillwell is still a patient at Scott 'Me- morial Hospital, Seaforth. and Mr. Stillwell has not completely- recover- ed from his injuries. The only eyewitnesses to the trag- edy were Ernest Axon, f,44 California avenue, Windsor, and Miss Laura Patterson, also of Windsor, who was a passenger in Axon's car. He des- cribed seeing the carapproaching him from the north and it curved across the road in front of him and went into the ditch on the east side of the road 'before he passed it and wept along until it crashed into a tree. He could see no reason for the tar'turning off. Mr. Axon said he returned and ran to the smashed ear where he found Stillwell in an apparently dazed con- dition and •unable to talk intelligently. There was no other traffic on the highway at the time of the accident and the day was clear, bright and hot, the witness said hiss Patterson cor- roborated Mr, Axon's testimony. K. B. Streets, Clinton, told of ]sav- ing been in' a garage opposite the scene of the accident and hearing a noise like a fender scraping a wire fence, followed by a crash. He ran over and found the front door of the car open on the right hand side and a little girl lying in the grass beside it. She was dead. Both rear doors were jammed. The. driver was still 'behind the wheel. Mr, R. F. Stillwell, who is a coan- bustion engineer of Columbus, Ohio, and driver of the car, testified that with his wife and daughter and niece, Ile had been ' on a camping trip through Michigan. They had spent two clays in Ontario, crossing at Sar- nia,and coming to Goderich where they stayed at a summer hotel. He did not remember what had happen- ed. He was driving down the high- way and it was quite warm. The little girls were playing with their dolls. He thought his wife was reading a magazine in the back seat. The next thing he remembered he was sitting in a strange yard and his face was covered with :blood. In re -ply to a question, he said he might have fainted. His health prior to the accident was good. He had been examined for life insurance two weeks previously and had been pronounced o.k. Coroner Burrows suggested that the inquest could be adjoirrned to the hospital to take evidence from Mrs. Stillwell but the jury thought it not necessary. Provincial Traffic 'Officer William Robinson described the course of the Stillwell car after it left the road until it hit the tree, a distance of 26151 feet. He could not estimate the speed of the car because there •were no brake marks, but agreed with the crown at- torney that it must have been travel- ing at least 30 miles per hour to pro- duce the damage that was done. Dlr. D. G. Steer of Hensall, who 'was called to the scene, attributed death to s'ku'll fracture. W.' L. Meths, 'Kippen 'blacksmith, and Blear Mous- scan, Kippen garagenlan, also told of the accident which occurred across the road from their shops.

Meeting ,opens at 2.30 p.m. Motor Trip to Georgia Mr. William Murray, of 1Jau'phin, Man., native of Tnckersmith and Fre- sident of the Huron County Associa- tion of l Dauphin, who has been visit- ing in the East this summer, de- scribes his recent motor trip to the State of Georgia: Having already given you an ac- count of my travels from Dauphin, Man„ to Seaforth, Ont., am continu- ing same to the cotton fields of the State of Georgia. Left the home of Mr. and Mrs, Harry Tyndall on the afternoon of Aug. '111th via Brucefield on No. 4 to Exeter, No. 83 to No, 21 to 'No,' iE to No. 22 to Sarnia where I ,crossed to Port I-Iaron, Michigan, The $Hain crops of this district are wheat, oats, barley, corn, beans, cel- ery and clovers; all of which appear to be a fine crop and a beautiful farming country, From. Port Huron I travelled over No. 25 to. Mount Cle- mens, then over 59 to Pontiac, my next stopping place. This is very much sintilar to the country already traversed 'in Ontario with a similar variety of . grains. From Pontiac to Detroit eat No, 214 ,and No.' 112 to Somerset, Mich., where 1 entered No. lir which took ene direct to Cincin- nati, Ohio, an as fine a road and through as fine a conntry as is in the Z'. S. A., down through the western portion of the State of Ohio. Mere the principal crops are corn, wheat, oats, clovers, various varieties of beans, sugar beets, tomatoes, and as one nears the southern part of this state, tobacco seems to be one of their principal products, all of which seems to be a wonderful crop, The conntry is mostly level until within about 25 miles of Cincinnati where it becomes very hilly. In Cin- cinnati I had the pleasure of visiting a young man ,who was raised front childhood in the Children's Home at Dauphin, Man., operated by my late wife and myself. This lad is married and has two very fine children, his ,rife ,being a native of the state of Kentucky. While here there was a re -anion of her people in which I was invited to take part. The re- union was in the forts of a picnic 00 the bank of a creek known as"Dan- iel Boon's Creek," situated a little over 1100 miles south of Cincinnati in Ken- tucky. This was on Sunday, Aug. .31'st, I being their guest, had one of the best times of my life and more than enjoyed their southern hospital- ity, fried chicken, rice, sweet potatoes. and everything necessary for such an occasion in abundance. Here I was in- vited to remain over night and par- take fiirther of their hospitality. This I did and the fallowing morning com- menced my journey farther south- ward. In coming from Cincinnati to Boobs Creek S passed through what is known as the very best tobacco country in America and, I believe it. as I never did see such crops of to- bacco. It is about as nice a country as I ever traversed. 'Not only does it grow good tobacco, but oh, you should see the corn fields, too. Lexington is the market place and is a beautiful city centered in a 'beau- tiful, thriving country. On leaving Lexington one soon enters on great hills and at the southern boundary of Kentucky I entered what is. 'known as High Cliff. Then the Cumberland Mountains in Tennessee, on over Clinch River near the great Norris Dam which supplies power to a vast surrounding country and which dam is responsible for a very fine lake in the lowlands of the beautiful hills and mountains. The country continues hilly on to Knoxville, Tenn. lOn leaving Knox- ville on No. 33; travelling southwest, I soon entered into a (beautiful section of country, fairly level with very fine farms and farm 'buildings, the prin- cipal craps 'being corn, wheat, oats, tobacco, beans and clovers. This is as fine a section of country as is to the found in the statd of Tennessee until 1 reached a small town called Benton,, a country seat. Here I ,turned south-eastward into what is known as Beans 'Mountains, where I foll'o'wed 'Ocoee River 'pass= ing Parksville Laike where there is another .very large dam supplying power to a vast district including the mining sections. On and on, up and up I go, round and round. No snake could be as crooked as these mountain trails, most of which are. (Conttnued c n Page Pour.) SCHOOLS RE -OPEN With a registration of b30 pupils.

LARKSPURS I never thought larkspurs could be So lovely, like an almond tree, Their spikes with clustering roses curled Flaming against a darkening world In .purple, opal, pink and white That stake the garden a delight. Sweet flowers, the world is full of pain, And men seem -bent on war and gain, Speak through your beauty to their heart And 'bill them choose a nobler art. God made Ibis wondrous world too fair For hate and greed to wanton there; Teach them to love and lift• and fan The dim light in the soul of man. —H. Isabel Graham. ti
