Listowel has a Boys' Band and re-
cently they gave a program which was
well received, The fact that these
boys did well is not near so import-
ant as the fact that they are so or-
ganized that they will be able to re-
ceive further training, The training
of our youths for future usefulness is
of greatest importance and we con-
gratulate Listowel on this fine endea-
vour.

The children of Kinlough and
Holyrood schools are this week re-

Each day brings the announcement
of more candidates seeking- election in
the corning elections. London will
have seven or maybe eight to choose
from. It is expected that over 900
will try for the 245 seats. It will be
a question of many ran but few were
chosen.

The fact that the crowds arenot
visiting Callender these days to see
the Quints is not because these babies
have lost their popularity. The holi-
day season is almost over and that is
the reason. Next year larger crowds
than ever will travel north to see the
little ladies.

WAR IS COSTLY
W e • are still paying for the Great
War and will be for many years to
come. The same can be said of every
country that took part in this great
conflict.
Italy, still staggering under the bur-
den of debt from the last war, is now
spending millions preparing for a war
of conquest. That country is going to
raise $1,200,000,000 at interest rates
of 5 per ecnt., most of which will be
spent on armaments or has been. The
interest on that huge sum above is a
tremendous burden each year and if
war is declared this amount will be
Just a flee bite.
Money to meet this obligation has
to be raised and new taxes are already
being devised by Mussolini and his
council. They include: new taxes on
business turnover, new taxes on
trucks and 'transports, increased rail-
way rates. Thus the people of Italy
will start to pay for a war not yet
declared.
The race to, arm will cost the coun-
tries of Europe a sum that if divert-
ed to constructive uses would settle
many of their social ills but each
country must be prepared for eventu-
alities and so this great expenditure
grows day by day.
The world is not in financial shape
to stand this ever-increasing expense
and the effect .it has on the ordinary
people is clearly demonstrated by the
above example of how money must
be raised — by taxes.
Peaceful means have apparently
failed to settle the Italian -Ethiopian
trouble. The cost of settling this dis-
pute will naw be millions and mil-
lions. There will also be great loss
of life and much suffering. Another
war such as the Great War would
rock the very foundations of our civ-
ilization. Let us all hope and pray
for peace throughout the world.

CARE IS NECESSARY
With the approach of the hunting
season during which thousands of
sportsmen will make for the woods
and marshes to seek their trophies of
animals and birds, a few precautions
concerning the use of firearms may
be mentioned in order to avoid acci-
dents, or possible fatalities, which
may result from the careless handling
of guns.
While the hunting season is a time.
of action in which a series of "don'ts"
would seem to defeat the enthusiasm
of the sportsman, nevertheless, in
view of the possible danger attendant
upon the careless handling of such
weapons, a little timely advice seems
in order to safeguard the sportsman
and others from injury.
Common among the causes of in -
Juries are, pulling guns through fenc-
es,acased loaded guns in automo-
biles, accidental firing of guns through
bottoms of boats, accidental stopping
rap of the barrels with dirt, leaving
obstruction in barrels, such as clean-
ing rags, rods, and the like; careless-
ness in handling guns by letting them

You've had days when you've felt
discouraged and low. Nothing
seemed to go right. Frequently these
dreary days care be traced to com-
mon constipation, due to lack of
"bulk" in your meals.
This ailment may cause head-
aches and loss of energy. Correct it
by eating a delicious.cereal.
Laboratory research shows Kel-
logg's ALL -BRAN provides "bulk" to
aid elimination. ALL -BRAN also fur-
nishes vitamin B and food -iron.,
The "bulk" in' ALL.BRAN resists
digestion better than the fiber in
fruits and vegetables. It is gentle--
and often more effective. Isn't this
natural food better than: taking pat-
ent medicines -often harmful?
Two tablespoonfuls of ALL.BRAN
daily are usually sufficient. With
each meal, in chronic cases. If not
relieved this way, see your doctor.

Remanded for Sentence
Walkerton—In Magistrate E. W.
Walker's police court Andrew Gaud -
aur, of Hanover, was convicted of the
theft of chickens and was remanded
for sentence for one week. Three oth-
er Hanover men, who were also im-

Fergus—Alex. Wishart, 17, son of
Mr, and Mrs. Malcolm Wishart, was
instantly killed when he fell into the
flywheel of a tractor he had been driv-
ing. The young man had just left the
barn and was coupling on the plow
when in some manner the lever on the
plow released, striking his back and
driving him into the revolving fly-
wheel.
Chickens Were Returned
Mr. Henry Schultheis, who had 11
chickens stolen from his premises re-
cently, was pleased to notice that the
stolen poultry were all returned just
one, week later. The poultry thieves
evidently took cold feet and decided
that the safest course to pursue was
to return their loot. .Mildmay Gaz-

Thieves at Clinton toiled hard and

street, by way of a rear window, they
removed a safe from the building and.

•Granary Fails to Hold Grain
At the completion of threshing his
crop of grains, which were stored in
eight bins in his barn, Mr. Bryce who
resides about four miles from Tees -
water, had the misfortune to have the
entire store of grain bins and con-
tents take a downward pitch into the
horse stable below. The great weight
was too much for the structure. The
threshing machine and equipment had
just got free of the barn when the
crash carne. A great deal of the grains
will necessarily have to be fed on the
farm, as. it is just a mass of oats, bar-
ley and wheat. It will take some 'tune
to clean away the grain and restore
it to new bins and new flooring.
There was over 2,000` bushels of grain.

North Route to Pass
Through N. Wellington
(Palmerston Observer)
A direct paved highway, running.
from London to Barrie, directly
through the northern part of Well-
ington County, and leading into the.
heart of Muskoka, will become an act-
uality in 1937, according to word re-
ceived from London.
In order that the chain may be
completed, several Wellington Coun-
ty roads
oun-ty'roads must be assumed asprovinc-
ial highways, but it is understood
that the Ontario Government already
has this matter under consideration.
The new route, which will open up
the Ontario highlands, not only to
London and Western Ontario, but al-
so to tourists coming into the prov-
ince through Windsor, Sarnia had Pt.

heavy highway tractor truck and was
almost completely wrecked. The high-
way machine was also badly damaged.

The local Softball League came to
a close on Saturday afternoon when
Lloyd's won both •games of a double-
header from the Foundry team. They
gobbled up the first game 13-7 and
nosed out a win in the second canta
5-4.
The boys from the door factory de-
serve full credit for their win as they
fought an uphill battle during the reg-
ular schedule and improved each time
out. They never knew when they
were beaten and this spirit carried
them into the championship games to
win the Advance -Times Trophy and
the championship.
The first game was a nip -and -tuck
affair except in the fifth inning when
Lloyd's gathered. 6 hits, this with a
walk and an error by P. Lediet, net-
ted them seven runs which put the
game on 'ice. At the end of the 4th
the Foundry were leading 3-2 but
Lloyd's rally in the 5th was too much
for them. Vanstone, for Lloyd's, pit-
ched
it-
ch ed good ball and his support was
much steadier than that given Lee,
who twirled nicely for the Iron
Workers.
The second game was a much bet-
ter game of ball but errors again help-
ed the boys from the door factoryto
y
win by a narrow .margin. The crowd
who witnessed this battle were kept
on their toes and the Foundry crew
came near tying it up in their half of
the seventh.
This game was a pitchers' battle
and both teams had difficulty 'bang-
ing out safe hits. Lloyd's had 5 and
the Foundry 4.
There were only three strike -outs
id both games, Vanstone having 2 and
Lee one.
The boys will now pack their equip
ment in the moth balls for the winter
and it is hoped, that the league will
have another successful season next
year,
• for his chocolate cake, open to fourth
• classes only. Naturally both boys .are
1111 quite tickled over their wins, espec-
ially when they were able to beat the
hurls.—Listowel Banner.
