International Match.
An estimated crowd of 3,000 at-
tended the sixteenth annual Huron

day at the farm of William Watson,
just east of Carlow, under ideal wee
they conditions.
Held under the auspices of the
Huron Plowmen's Association, Pres-
ident Gordon McGavin of Walton an-
nounced the thatch was one of the
best in many years. In all there were
thirteen tractors entered in competi-
tion, along with twenty-two teams. 'A
few of the classes did not draw as
many entries as in former years, but
competition was keen and the judge
had quite a task in making some of
his decisions.
The work of the young plowmen
won the admiration of farmers with
the most critical eye. District Agri-
cultural Representative J. C. Shearer
announced late in the afternoon that
the three boys who had been selected
to comprise the Huron county team
to take part in the international
match at Brockville next week are,

McQuaid, Seaforth, and John F. Wil-
son, Port Albert.

Robertson, age 12, who not only won
his class in tractor plowing but won
the J. D. Thomas cup for the best
plowed truetor land, the class being
open to residents of Huron. The
prizes for the day were presented at
the banquet at Colborne hall in Car-
low in the evening. .At this banquet
the various township and tenuity of-
ficials were present and brief ad-
dresses were delivered by the oleic-

Gordon Waldron.
Dies at Toronto
Brother of IVilss Eliza Waldron.
and Mr. Byron Waldron of
Brucefield,
Gordon Waldron, a Huron county
farm boy who rose to be one of On-
tario's most unique political figures,.
Those name blazed in headlines in
dozens of polieital and legal contro-
versies, was buried at Toronto, on
Friday. He died there ou Oct. 4th in
his 76th year. As legal adviser of the
U.F.G. government he shaped its
policies and guided its destinies until
he withdrew from its ranks in 1932
in as spectacular a retirement as had
been his rise. The sincerity of his ef-
forts, keenness of his intellect, and
hie immense energy—which his ape
pearance belied—brought him the re-
spect and admiration of all. His num-
erous successes were largely due to
the thoroughness of his research into
any task he undertook, Hon, G. How-
ard Ferguson, one of his political op-
ponents, often referredtohim as the
"political father of the U.F,O." He
had the faculty of creating storms'.
wherever be moved. His followers'.
found him fascinating because he was
always unpredictable, whether in the
courts, the public platform, or behind
the scenes In caucus. He championed
the cause of agriculture, but all
shades of opinion held him in high re-
gard as a political economist. In 1910
he told the Canadian club that
rural Ontario was being "depopulated
and impoverished." 'He marshalled an
Array of facts in support of his arcu-
ation that hada profound effect on
rhe government. In 1992, acting for
the Drury government in a searching
inquiry in North Bay, he exposed a
$35,000 cache of illegal liquor and
had the owner sent to jail. He also
acted as special crown prosecutor at.
the Toronto and York assizes, and he
represented the Ontario minister of
Sande and forests during the timber
investigation. He first became known
to the public through tate Weekly
Sun, to which he contributed articles
on political matters and of which he
became vice president in 1911. He was
a close friend of Goodwin Smith. i'te
founder. He ran for both proviucial
and dominion houses on several oc-
casions,
crasions, but never won an election.
Once Hartley Dewart beat ]tint by
one vote. He was a temperance advo.
rate. He was also a supporter of the
workingman, hue was highly scepti-
cal of modern trends of organized ta-
bor. and believed labor's taxation of
industry was responsible for the debt
situation of the provincial govern-
mens. Mr. Waldron was born on a
farm in Storrington. Frontenac coun-
ty. He was brought up in Huron
county near Clinton and was educated

An Involved Case—
Th rase t;f William Rader. r"tired
farmer of Hay township. who is ,'en-
ing Valentine Becker anti Louis lF.
Rader, surviving executors of the es-
tate of George Iioc:h. of Dashwood, de-
ceased, and Elmore Thiel and Andrew
Thiel, of Zurich. son and father, was
heard last week at Goderich in the
non -jury sitting of the county court
before Judge E. W. Clement of Kitch-
ener. Elmore Thiel is married to
Athelia Koch, daughter of the late
George Koch. The 'highly involved
case centres around a $000 promis-
sory note made on April 15, 1931, by
George Koch and Elmore Thiel in
favor of Andrew Thiel. The money
was used as part payment on a farm
for Elmore Thiel, purchased in 1931
from Conrad Siemon, for $9000. The
total down payment was $3000. Stet
mon taking a mortgage for the bal.
ance. In March, 1933, Elmore Thiel
made an assignment for the benefit
of the creditors. In 1938 Andrew
Thiel sold the $500 note to William
Rader, cousin of Louis H. Rader, one
of the executors of the Koch estate.
The plaintiff witnesses sought to
show that the late George Koch, up
to the time of his death, always paid
the interest on the note and that no
interest was paid after his death.
Koch died in the spring of 1938 and
his wife a year later. The ptafatiff
maintained that it was therefore
Koch's intention eventually to pay off
the principal: This is disputed by the
defence. Judgment was reserved. The.
plaintiff, William Rader, is asking
$541.16, the amount of principal and
interest to date. The automobile da-
