Posed As Sheriff—
Alleged to have represented himself
as an officer of the law, Charles
Guest, Seaforth young man, stood in
the dock at :last week's police court at
Goderich charged with '"imitating a
sheriff." He was remanded to Sea -
forth until August 31. on $5106 bail.
"I'nr the sheriff and I wish to make
an investigation of this place," Guest
is alleged to have told Mrs, Stafford
Stephenson, after 'knoc'king at her
door. \-Ire, Stephenson replied, "Just a
minute." retiring to another room to
call 'police. In a few minutes Chief
Snell and the "sheriff" met face to
face, The "sheriff" was arrested. Po-
lice also said there cuss a young wom-
an in the case, that _Guest was an un-
welcome visitor and that he attempted
to use the "sheriff" ruse to gain entry
to the home.
Geo. Welch Gets 2 Months—
"I only do these things when I am
drunk," said (George 'Welch, MdK9llop
resident, pleading ,guilty 'in :police
court at Goderich to stealing 150
pounds of copper wire clippings from
Moses Yellick, 'Brussels junk man.
Magistrate Makins gave him two
months in jail. 'The booty was re-
covered.
Buys Steel For Investment—
'Banks may crash, stocks and bonds
prices may collapse, but Joseph
Schmidt has put his money into
something that nothing less than a
•derrick will trove. The 'Winghann dis-
trict fanner moved about his "treas-
ure room" on his farm in Bruce
county last ,week, reflectively eyeing
his latest investment, a three -tont
block of steel, several feet in length
and 314 inches wide. He paid 4124100
tor it, lloseph puts no faith in the
banks in these days of wars and so -
flocs of war. He's convinced war
soon will rage in (Europe, and when it
does, the price of steel 'will sky-
rocket "''to enormous amounts, and I
will cash in." Schmidt has been buy -
rig steel for a long time, and he now
has many thousands of dollars' worth
stored on his :farm. He is uninterested
in scrap, and buys only quality steel,
all he can afford. His philosophy is
expressed thus: "Stocks and bonds
and all kinds of paper investments
can do down to almost nothing, but
that doesn't bother rte. My money
would make small interest in a bank.
I have an immovable investment.
When 'I buy steel, then I know that
none will take it."

t?e• MF;It,
If every human life in a village of 800 people in the
Province of Ontario were snuffed out in one day, news-
papers throughout the entire world would carry the story
of the ghastly tragedy.
If one of your loved ones—or even a friend—were a victim,
it would become quite a grievous, horrible, personal loss !
That is precisely what is going on in Ontario this year.
Nearly 800 people will be killed on our highways. Nearly
'14,000 willbe injured — many of them crippled; many
of thein suffering almost unbearable pain. Death and
s01
untold suffering stalk our highways and this must stop !

ment, with the aid of our internationally famous police force
and public-spirited citizens, intends to put reckless drivers
