16 HEAD SENT
TO SLAUGHTER
McCracken Bross., of Listowel, suf-
i.fared a heavy loss last week when
,.the government inspector, Dr. Tor-
rie, tagged 26 of "their Holstein herd
-as being affected with tuberculosis,
These cattle which included calves
from six weeks to six' months, were
.a11 shipped to Toronto on Tuesday
to be slaughtered. Only seven cattle
were left on the farm as free from
-disease.
Both the inspector and the owner
were at a loss to account for so many
cattle being affected; but the cause
was discovered when one cow, was
slaughtered ughtered 'on Wednesday.. This
cow aid not react to the test for the
past six weeks. She had been giving
thick milk but not a pound of this
milk went off the farm and was only
'used to feed calves. In all their ex-
periences, the government officials
stated this was only the fourth such
•ease where, a cow would not react
to the -serum.
The McCracken herd has been test-
ed every year since 1926. In the first
test four cattle were lost, but every
year since there have been no reac-
tors. This particular cow, not •react-
ing, was naturally not suspected of
being a carrier. After a full explana-
tion by John McCracken and after
• the inspector's report the department
•.-agreed to, pay the compensation. The
herd sire, Faforit .Ormsby Master -
.piece, came through the test O. K.

WILLIAM MALLOUGFI, 21, AND LEONARD Mc,-
DONALD,
cgDONALD, .18, LOSE LIVES IN LAKE ON SUNDAY
A double drowning accident occur
red on Sunday morning when Wil-
liam. 1Vfallough, aged 21, and Leonard`.
McDonald, aged 18, were drowned in
Lake Huron. The two boys had gone,
out to raise a small net which had
been placed between the north end
of the north pier and the breakwater.
There was a heavy sea. Eric Jenner,
who had intended going with them,
saw them on top of their capsized
boat, and took the motor launch
"'Rags" to go to them, but on reach-
ing the boat found they had disap-
peared He immediately'returned and
gave the alarm.
.All day a crew in charge of Cap-
tain 'John (Reddy) McDonald,' uncle
of Leonard; Bert McDonald, his fa
ther;' Mr. Mallough and son, Edgar,
and Captain Ed, Robinson, searched
that part of the lake for the bodies
without success. The search is being
continued.
The tragedy has cast a deep gloom
over Goderich, and,,heartfelt sympa-
thy is expressed for the bereaved
families.
William 'Mallough is the second
son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Mal-
lough. He assisted Mac McDonald,
another uncle of Leonards', in his
fishing. business . and was well known
about the harbor. He was identified
- with Knox Ch.trch, :Besides his par
ents, he is survived by two brothers
and two sisters.
Leonard McDonald was the only
son of Bert McDonald, and the late
Mrs. McDonald. He was in second
form of the Goderich Collegiate In-
stitute and a very popular student.
His mother predeceased him by two
years. Besides his father, one sister,
Evelyn, survives. He was a Presby-
terian and a member, of Junior St.
.Andrew's Club of Knox Church:
It was Eric Jenner's good fortune
not: to be with the boys when the
drowning occurred. He had arrived
at the harbor a few minutes too late
to join thein, so he remained on the
pier and watched them row to their
nets. When Jenner went to their
rescue he did so with a great deal
of risk. The launch he took was not
a seaworthy craft in that it had a
hole in its side, and had to be baled
out time and time again.
Bert McDonald, father of L. Mc-
Donald, who eves drowned, had a
somewhat close call when he went
out to the scene of the drowning in.
his craft. Something went wrong
with the engine of the launch and
Mr. McDonald drifted a considerable 1
distance before he was noticed and
rescued.

"Let not your heart be troubled,"
said the tender Saviour, when, know-
ing "that His hour was come that He
should depart out of this world unto
the Father;" He had. gathered His
faithful band in an upper room for
His last supper with thein. "It is ex-
pedient for you that I go away," he
added, and He promised that the
comforter, who should come in His
place, should guide them "into all
truth." "If I go not away,". He said,
"the Comforter will not come unto
you; but if I depart, I will send Him
unto you."
When Jesus Iaad prayed for them
and they had sung a hymn together,
they accompanied Him to a place
called Gethsemane, where He was
wont to. go. There He entered .a gar-
den and prayed in such agony of in-
tense supplication that He sweat "as
it were great drops of blood." Mean-
while His disciples slept.
♦O
Here it was, in this garden, that Judas, one of the twelve
who had just supped with Him, came, bringing a band of officers
and men sent by the chief priests, and betrayed the. Christ to thein
giving, as sign of His identification, a kiss! The soldiers "took
Jesus and bound. Him and led Him away,"
Supremely unselfish, even in this hour of His deep anguish,
Jesus was found to be especially anxious that His disciples should
not be apprehended.
"All this was done," said the Saviour Himself in th ono
-
meta of His betrayal, "that the Scriptures of the prophets might
be fulfilled." At this juncture of the story Matthew says, "Then
all the disciples forsoot. Hun and fled."
The soldiers brought Bim, first, before the Jewish auth-
orities and then took Him to Pilate, the Roman Governor, that
judgment might be delivered against Hitn.
BECOMES CHIEF
OF TWO 4 BANDS
From the paper of Grand Forks,
Ill., we clip the following, which re-
lates to a former Wingham boy, C.
W. Ross, son of Alex.. Ross, who for-
merly :kept a book store in town.
"C W. Ross, president of the Red
River National Bank and Trust Co.,
of Grand Forks, has accepted the
presidency of two national banks in
the Chicago industrial district, and
will assume his new post Monday.
Prominent for 20 years in local
banking . and. financial. circles, Mr.
Ross decided only a few days ago to
accept the proposition made by Chi-
cago interests and he left last night
to take up his new duties.
While he withdraws from active
management of the Red River Nat-
ional Bank, Mr, Ross will continue
as president of the institution he was
so prominent in organizing from the
old Northern State bank in the sum-
mer of 1929.
Mr, Ross' offer of the Chicago
post, it is understood, came through
the interests of former associates in
Chicago banking circles, for it was
from banking connections there that
Mr. Ross carie to Grand Forks 20
years ago."

tawa this week of the appointment
of 1.lriah McFadden, I%. C., of Sault
Ste. Marie, Ont., as judge;, of the
county of Kent. The news is of spec-

ional reason that Mr. McFadden is
