Chia ,Ryan .fired four shots, but the fleeing mar refused to stop. 100 Tuesday night seven transientts were 'kept at the town hall,—three 'of whom had to be locked up as they were intoxicated, Nest morning the four sober men wandered out to the west end of the town and rote of them picked up .a valued pair of scissors at the home of Col. R. S. Hays. The man refused to return the scissors and disappeared, so a ntes'sage, ..was .phoned to the town hall, which. was' relayed by Mr. E. Mole to Chief Ryan who vas attending to his duties at the pulalbo library. George iHays took his car and drove Mr. Ryan ac- companied by one of the Oke boys out to I-Iarpu1-hey where the man was last sten heading for Clinton. They caught up to hint at the jog west of the cemetery. 1 -le refused to accom- pany them back to Seaforth, and when the 'Chief began to search him for the scissors, he suddenly drew them from his coat pocket and hurl- ed them viciously at Mr. Ryan's head, 'the latter saving .:himself from seri- ous injury by throwing up his arm. The scissors pierced his clothes and drew blood in his shoulder. The chap bcillted over the fence, waded across the drain in water up to his. waist and disappeared across the (fields. Surrounding towns have been notified and are on the look out for the character. The scissors were recovered. CHURCH CARD. North Side United Church --Pastor Rev. W. P.

Reserved seats at .Aberlvant's Drug Store on and after Nov. 29 for 10c additional JUDGMENT -RESERVED 9udgment Was reserved by the ap- pellate court at Osgoode (Hall Mon- day in the appeal brought 'by the at- torney-geneua'l's department of O'nt- ar;o Against the sentence im'po'sed up- on 'Gordon Young, former 'Huron county .treasurer, by !Police Magis- trate ,C. A. Reid. "The magistrate ought not to look at the social position of the accused," stated Joseph Sedgewick, IK:C., of the Attorney -general's department at lOs- goode Hall •duning the hearing of 'the appeal. The Attorney -general's department claim the sentence of 12 months defin- ite to six months inde'finite for em- bezzlement and destruction of books and records, imposed by 'Magistrate Reid, was insufficient. ' 'Magistrate Reid, in stating his reas- ons for imposing a light sentence on the former treasurer, pointed out that Young was 168 years all and had pre- viously 'borne a good character, His salary had been reduced from 1$1',500 to $11,,300 a year and being married with seven children he had found it impossible to replace the money tak- en. Joseph Sedgwick claimed good so- cial b'sition and good ch'arac'ter 'might aggravate rather than palliate the of- fense. :He f-fense.He contended a reformatory sentence was intended for :a young elan who might .reform. This conten- tion met with strong opp'os'ition from the .court and 'from C. A. Thompson, counsel for Young. "The ordinary intention of the 'Le'gislature was that an offense of this kind should be treated more sev- erely," Mr. Sedgeevic:k proceeded. "There is not a word 'sahiclt 'indic- ates the magistrate was influenced 'by social 'position," stated .Mr. 'T'honig son. "'I'f the had been a man who ap- propriated the money for gambling and "so on it might be different." ,Mr. Thompson referred to "broker- age cases" where hundreds of thous- ands of dollars were taken and the heaviest penalty imposed was 'three Pay Cash for your Old .Gold Jewelry, and pay the highest mar- ket price and allow full weight for your gold, as well. Most are surprised at the generous price they receive at this store. Many people are buying their Christmas Gifts with the amount they receive from scrap gold and old dis- carded Jewelry. We suggest you bring your old gold to us and receive cash for same while you wait. SAVAUGE' SHOPP AT Phone 194. IT PAYS TEWELER OPTOMETRIST GIFT GOODS Res. 10.

".Chose who are 'fainiliar with ith'e. w=ork of the Ontario ,Agricultural De- velopment Board state that a nice point has arisen in connection with loans. !A farmer gets behind and ap- plies to the Board for a loan, He ,quietly mortgages his farm and chat- tels to the Board, causing creditors to lose their equity in 'hits propetdy. Thus secured, he need not pay his old debts and sometimes incurs new ones. The Development Board is efficient in a business way, andnaturally pro- tects their own interests and creditors can get nothing. To prevent this abuse it is felt that 'before taking a mortgage the Board should ,give consideration to creditors as well as to the borrower. (According to the Act, the Agricul- tural Development Board is empow- ered to make loans for the following purposes only:—(a) acquiring land for agricultural purposes; (b) the er- ection of farm •bui.idings; (c) to pay off charges existing against land at the time of acquisition by the' borrow- er under a will or by descent; (d) to. pa$' off enciunbran'ces; (e) for the purpose of providing tile drainage; (f) to purchase breecling live stock;. (g) to consolidate outstanding liabil- ities incurred for productive agricul- tural purposes. Tlie Board h'as power to foreclose where money is noir applied for the purpose for which it was advanced, or is not being carefully and economical-, ly expended, or if the security depre- ciates in value, but these precautions. arc no relief to creditors, The Agricultural Development Moans were institute(' not so many years ago and it is 11(130011(15 10 prev- ent subesea because the large number of 10500 proves the service is appre- elated and necessary.
