a& considerable number of farmers to
view the exhibits and to try and form
an opinion of what is required in
bacon type.:' Around 200 hogs were
brought out to the fair of which num-
ber xJ9 were actually shown in both
-the breeding and market classes. These
consisted of 4' boars, 33 sows and 122
market hogs. , Of the market hogs,
.92 graded select and the remainder as
thick smooth which is a very credit-
able; showing indeed, The' results

Judges of the Market Classes -Fred
W lt7arils, head -buyer for Swift's Can-
adian Company and W. Jones, grader
with the Dominion Live Stock branch.
Judges of breeding classes -John
Duck, Port Credit, and W. Jones.
The hogs that were shown in the'
market classes with 'the exception of
3 young sows which were sold for
breeding, purposes were consigned, to,
the Swift's Canadian Company whose
bid was 'the highest .reoeived. The;
price was $lo.4.o a cwt. for the thick
smooths with $2.15 premium per hog
for select bacon. This works out
at approximately $11.00 per cwt. flat
price . for the market pride. This rep-
resAnts• about 75c mare than was be-
ing paid .by buyers at that date. In
other words, 92 select hogs realized to
the farmers nearly $2oa.00 in premi-
um besides giving them the.advantage
of realizing good prices for their
thick smooth hogs.
' Mr. Homer Maybee of hie:Domin-
ion Live Stock Branch has spent a-
bout a month in the district and along
with Mr. J. R. Ostler, the Assistant
Agricultural Representative, assisted
the farmers in every possible way in,
selecting' exhibits 'for the' fair. Be-
sides doing this valuable work Mr.
Maybee graded at a number of ship-
ping points throughout ,the county.
Mr. D. W Pearsall, Director of On-
tario Hog Graders, assisted at the
fairr along with Mr. L B. Martin, Pro-
vincial Livestock Branch and Mrr H.

gether with G. R. Patterson, the Ag-
ricultural Representative, are to be
congratulated in arranging for such
a .splendid demonstration for 'the
County and one which it is hoped•will
be carried on as a permanent spring

THE FOREST has played a major parkin Canada's development. The stability
of our forest industries is threatened by forest fires which have destroyed five
times the quantity of timber used. Carelessness with fire in the woods has
been mainly responsible. ' Will YOU help to stop this wanton waste and

"Well, I suupppege it is none of

"And the only reason I took you
on this ride was to ask you to mar-

made promising broad jumpers out

It was well 'toward the end of' the

as the day she was born, Pansy did
a Charleston, and how! The num-
ber stopped proceedings for sevfersl
minutes and she took a half dozen
bows. .•
In the lobby during intermission
I run square in'ko Jack Fairfax, pa-
rading around in a tux which fit

duck him,: but no such luck.
"As I.live!" he exclaimed. "The

"I'm sorry to see her mixed up

"Well, you keep away from her,

BARN DESTROYED BY FIRE
Fire almost completely destroyed a
frame barn belonging to Wilson Ham-
ilton, Lucknow, on Saturday evening
last. ` The fire, which originated in
the hay loft, had made considerable
progress before being discovered by
the smoke and flame coming through
the 'roof. A horse, a .couple of
.cows and other contents of the build-
ing Weft serneved, as ,the barn being
a frame construction, was doontntl
from the beginning. When a stream
of water was turned on, the blaze was •
quickly put down, but not before the
building was reduced to a worthless
wreck.-Lucknow Sentinel.

PTHE art and skill .of Fisher craftsmen are s'trik-
tingly exemplified in the long, low lines of the
New and Finer Pontiac Six bodies, in their smart
belted effects and in their luxurious comfort!
Rich Duco finbh, in the latest and most appealing
colors, adds to the striking beauty of the New and
Finer Pontiac Six. New refinements such as sweep-
ing, l'ull.crown fenders, new, higher radiator, tilt.
ing beam headlights, plate this car in a class 'far
above: that into which its phenomenally low price
brings it.
And, back of all these evident improvements and
advances :stand the established Pontiac qualities of
power, speed, stamina and economy --the qualities
which won for Pontiac Six the most outstanding
success ever accorded any nese car during its
first year.
,tiny by seeing the New and Finer Pontiac Six; by
drivix g it and by learning its new, lower prices,
can you realize how great a thing has General
Motors done in the field a the low-priced silk.
