IS ACQUITTED ON CONSPIRACY CHARGE William: T. Booth, of Wingham, was acquitted on a charge of conspir- acy at the Judge's Criminal Court at Goderich, which was held Wednesday of last week, to dispose of the second count against the accused. Judge Costello said he was not sat- isfied with the evidence given at the trial last week was sufficient to con- vict on a charge of conspiracy., He said he well recalled evidence of both the Crown and defence and that in his opinion there was no, conspiracy on the part of Booth and Higgins to accept money from Young. There. was no evidence that Booth had said anything` to Higgins and vice versa, 'fo the effect that they were going in together on taking the money. R. S. Hetherington, .Local lawyer, was counsel for the defence and Crown, Attorney Holmes conducted the prosecution, Honey. Industry Prospers With honey .prices good and still gradually increasing, a distinct tone of optimism prevails throughout the beekeeping industry and beekeepers are .looking forward with more than usual enthusiasm to their annual con- vention which will be held at the King Edward Hotel, Toronto, beginning at 1.30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 28th, and continuing until Thursday, Nov. 30.

Clover and Grass Seed - An official report on commercial production of clover and grass seed in .Ontario shows that while the al- sike acreage was slightly less than in 1932 a higher yield per acre resulted in perhaps a ten per cent greater quantity of seed than in 1932. The seed is slightly smaller than usual 'but of good colour and plump. It is also freer of weed seeds than usual. The 1933, spring seeding of alsike is reported as very unpromising in :cen- tral and western Ontario owing to the summer's prolonged drought. Second cut alfalfa seeded wellthis year in'imany districts so that a .sub- stantial quantity of good seed isin sight. The quality of the seed is good, being notably free from weed seeds and foreign natter. Thus there should be ample supplies of alfalfa seed for domestic requirements this year, . There will be more red clover than last year, with most of it con- centrated in southwestern Ontario. Sweet clover is a much below norrnal crop in the province. • More than usual timothy seed is reported in western and central On- tario, but less than last year in the eastern part of the province.

Family 'Hitchhikes Out of a job and in poor health, George Elliott, with a wife and five children to support, lived in a home in Detroit. Nothing better in sight, they decided to Bitch -hike to. Cali- fornia for the benefits of a more healthful climate, With their belong- ings in two grips and $5 in cash, the family took to the road. Most of the riding was done on trucks "arid mov- ing vans. Occasionally a big car. would pick up all seven. Once they rode in a box car on a Tongfreight train. They depended on their: own resources to obtain food and lodg- ing en route by the sale of lead pen- cils, pins and shoe 'strings. They made the trip from Detroit to Los Angeles. in six weeks, arriving with $10 cash in place of the $5 with which they started. Canada's Empire Fruit Exhibit Mr. W. B. Gornall, the new Can- adian Fruit Trade Commissioner for Great Britain who left, Canada t'o take up his position just in time to• participate in the °important Imperial Fruit Show, opened by the, Duke of York at Bristol, England, has des- cribed Canada's exhibit as forming a very attractive and impressive dis- play. The high. standard ofquality of previous years, he said, was fully. maintained, if not exceeded. The col- our of the McIntosh Reds was par- ticularly fine, and the exhibit submit- ted by the province of New. Bruns- wick rnade its first appearance, being equal to the best from British Col- umbia. The Canadian stand was di- vided into five sections: Nova Scotia, Ontario, New Brunswick and Brit- ish Columbia, with a composite dis- play by the • Fruit Branch of the Do- minion Department of Agriculture. There was also a trade display by the Associate Fruit Growers of British Columbia which proved a prominent feature. The Empire mark which was adopted for the first ‚time this year was given special prominence. "Sir, you car is at the door." "Yes, I hear it knocking." The hotel guest was thoroughly an- noyed. People were, running back- ward and forward along the corridor outside his room, making a terrible noise, So he took the telephone and spoke to the manager's office, "I can't get to sleep with all this noise going on, he coinplained an- grily. "I'm sorry, sir," replied the clerk, "but I'm afraid we can't control the movements of .the` fire brigade," "Would you mind walking the oth- er w'y and not passing the 'orse?" said a London cabman with exagger- ated politeness to the fat lady who bad just paid a .minimum fare.

STUNI JOB 1h s to O.•tgy Death in Arany Forms .. Meng by One Oland From a Wire flalf a l; file In Air. i)ecause he can balance on a rollel slate at the edge cf the roof of a skyscraper, and dive from a cl•ff into a lake without breaking anything but a record, fIarvey Parry is nom a technical director at one of the largest studios at 1lollywocd, One of the two or three greatest stunt men in Hollywood -or anywhere eine, Parry bus risked his life on an average of a hundred times a year for the past ten years. "N"erves!" Parry dismissed the en- tire nervous system with a shrug.. "What you need most for stunts is aar urate eye'Your Iti've to gauge d r:ances right 'o sometgilityhingand happeaccn " At: a pr. feesi,nal stunt than he has ' eS".L 1.:,[:•,.i-to'dive ctt tall buildings., :Ito a net, which in two , instances ,vas not there when he landed, and s:viri apparently unswimmable ,r2 ,.a in mountain rivers by the aid f ca..ty wires which, as it hap - L; Iae1, somebody had removed before he plunged in. The absence of the net from .the spot where it should have. been gave Parry a bad shakeup the first time he jumped. But after instructing the men as to the exact location for the net, he tried the jump again, from the roof of a house. When Parry, head first, was. within 15 feet of the ground he saw that the net was far to his left. It's a tribute to his train- ing as a diver that within those 15.' feet he was able to somersault and land on his toes. Nevertheless, the impetus threw him over on his back with sueh force as to render him unconscious, • "My moment of greatest danger," Parry told an interviewer, "was five minutes long. I had done a stunt three times on the wing of an air- plane. On the third attempt, the cam- eras caught it all right and Is started back across the wing to the cabin of the ship. But I was tired, and when the plane hit an air pocket, I fell off. In dropping, I just managed to catch a wire with one hand. And there I was, my body blown straight back- ward by the rush of air from the propellors, hanging by one hand 2,500 feet in the air. I owe, my life. to Frank Clark,. a cracker -jack avia- tor. The wire was cutting through my hand and I' was set for the world's highest dive—without a, parachute when Clark tipped his plane and threw me against the side with such a bang that my feet . went right through the fuselage; And . then, of course, they hauled me in, "Was T scared? You said it!" TAP PHOTOGRAPHS SOUND. Unusual Shadows Formed by Vibra- tions Photographed by Camera. Sound and even its echo have been madef i l camera v s b e by a c era designed by Baron Shiba in the S'apanese Im- perial Institute in Tokio. They are made by producing 40.000 intense flashes of light a second in front of a moving' film, and lens. On being reproduced on the screen the sound was a moving shadow, be- having much like the waves that re- sult from dropping a pebble into water. The sound was produced, by an electric spark in a transparent, oily liquid.. `Before the sound, noth- ing was to be seen on the screen except a dark spot, which was the spark apparatus, and the outline of the glass' vessel holding the liquid. The effect of the spark was to com- press the invisible particles in con- tact with it. This momentary chango altered the angle of the light rays shining through them. Sueh an alter- ation ordinarily is invisible, bor,�, too rapid for the eye. But at .40 000 pictures a second, the light chan;;t-s showed plainly as shadows ranging from a smoky looking line to Oera- sionai blackness. The shadow of the start always was ring-shaped, w:den- iug rapidly, All the sounds were made In 'gla s containers. so that when the wihi°n ing ring reached the glass wall i, it rebounded. This rebound also cr u'fl he seen plainly. Actually it was the picture of an echo. won's. OR BIRDS. Feathered Folk Seen In Diana Light Assume Uncanny Appearance.

Graded Beef Standards It may be.interesting to Canadian householders to know that the col- ourings used by the Government of-' ficials` in marking the blue brand and the red brand of graded beef are per- fectly harmless. They are prepared by the Government's own chemists, and are 'so innocuous that they y need not even be removed ,before cooking. It is also gratifying to know that the confidence of Canadian householders in graded beef has been fully estab- lished as a result of the past four years' careful supervision by officers of the Dominion Live Stock Branch in ensuring strict adherence . to the high standards prescribed. by the re- gulations. `It has become-generalIy:. recognized that the official blue brand or the red brand is a guarantee of.
