The DRESDEN folks did them- selves proud and presented a very well-balanced all-round program in spite of the fact that, to a large degree, this was billed mainly as a cattle show. The grounds were spot- less, the buildings freshly painted, and the attendance was considerably over that of previous years. The Scotch short -horn bull "Gen Mar Gem," owned by W. A. Wilson of Kentyre Stock Farms, was one of the top-notch entries, and herds- man J. B. Easton may well be proud of this animal for .he was the grand champion at Exeter (3 -year-olds). Mr. Wilson's herd is exclusively Ful - 0 -Pep fed, and his high praise of Ful -O -Pep feeds was indeed sweet music to your reporter's ears. It was interesting to note that horse- racing has received an added impetus in the last few years. Two races a day were held at Dresden and the crowds evinced great interest in these events. Grand stand perform- ances were featured afternoon and evening, sponsored by Mr. Simpson of Windsor, during which the local band (26 pieces) played. The first farm machinery exhibit since the beginning of the war was one of the outstanding features. The BLACK AND WHITE CLUB proved to be one of the big drawing cards at I3LYTIT. Isere too racing was featured. Bailie Parrott. handled his job as starter with sure- ness and aplomb. The Boys' and Girls' Band, spon- sored by the Blyth Lions Club, did some excellent marching and play- ing. This Band stood fifth in the Canadian National Exhibition at Toronto this year, and proved to be a great crowd pleaser. Miss Josephine Woodcock of Blyth won .seven firsts and seven seconds in the flower competition, which was one of the large attractions in the main building. One of the new events this year was a log -sawing competition,. fea- turing the Hallahan Brothers vs. the Watson Brothers. • The EAST LUTIIER AGRI- CULURAL SOCIETY'S 75th an- nual fall exhibition at GRAND VALLEY was highly successful. Mr. Fred Taylor, President, was very active and much of the suc- cess was due to his efforts and those of Secretary -Treasurer Walt- er Richardson. Mr. Willis Round- ing, also an officer of the Society, contributed a great deal towards making the exhibition so highly popular. 'The racing events featured a fee: - for -all trot pacing event, and a special feature was the hal f -mile running race for ponies. The children's parade at Comber Was one of the highlights of this Fair. Prizes were git en for the best decorated bicycles in the parade and the youngsters went for this in a bit; way." The parade was led by the weekly band. Six floats helped make this feature a popular one. Farm equipment machinery was one of the outstanding attractions, .and the Secretary of the Fair, Mor- ley Elliott, showed a No. 30 Tractor, a• No. 7 Combine, a Walking Plough, a Grain Grinder, and 2 No.' 95 Trailers, as well as addi- tional equipment.. Mr. Elliott was very active on the Exhibition Com- mittee and contributed much to- wards helping to make the Fair a success. Old Boys and Girls of Grand Valley were especially invited and' many turned out for the occasion. At NEW HAMBURG your Ful - 0 -Pep reporter encountered heavy rain, which made -it difficult to obtain good pictures. However, in between the rain squalls we managed to get some shots which will appear on this page next week. The New Hamburg fair was the largest 'covered by your reporter to date, and was well worth anybody's time to 'see. The large grand stand affords a fine view of the race track which, though somwhat muddy, pro- vided the scene for some of the best rates witnessed by your reporter up to the time of writing. The exhibits in the main bidding were not only numerous, but were displayed in a most professional' and eye-catching manner. The --whole tone of this fair seemed to say "Dere is the Ontario Fair at its best!" The Fall Fairs of Ontario provide the opportunity to keep abreast of the latest agricultural developments. The city man at the small town Fair never fails to be amazed at the pro- fessional air which predominates at the small town Fairs. Here he sees mere youngsters'with their live stock entries handling their particular em, rant with skill tool professional know-how. Reporter Photograph: Ful -O -Pep Photographer. COMBER — Bill Watson shown above with Barred Rock Pullet, which won first prize. The idea that the farmer too bat- tles the supply and demand problem is a novel one to the urban dweller. Probably for the first time in his life he is conscious of the fact that rais- ing champion live stock is an art in itself. For the first time the city man appreciates the fact that men who raise champions know full well that the extra growth and finish the judges like can only be assured by the use of highest quality feed. The name Ful -O -Pep on any bag of feed guarantees this quality. In these days, when quality is, in many cases. being sacrificed for quantity, leading. cattle breeders invariably specify Ful -O -Pep. They arc more than conscious that when they use this feed, of champions they are truly using the best that money can buy. Ful -O -Pep is the feed • in which finality is _ paramount. .Available to Animals Penicillin Sulfa Even -animals will benefit from the healing influences of penicillin and the sulfa drugs, says the Ottawa Journal. . Under t:.e new regulations, a druggist may sell sulfas or penicillin for vetercrinary use to any live- stock owner without prescription, Health Minister Paul Martin an- nounced. The amended regulations include the salts of penicillin and the salts and derivatives of the s'lpho- namides for veterinary use. Druggists may now sell the drugs to any bona fide livestock owner who is known to him, or, to whom he has been introduced by someone known to both- the .owner and the druggist. The druggist must keep a record of each sale, the name, address and sig- nature of the owner, and the name and quantity of the drug sold. Particular: of sales and of cus- tomers are to be kept in the same manner as poison sales are handled. As an added precaution, packages of the drugs. intended for veterinary use must be distinctively overprinted. Ordinary packages of penicillin and sulfas must not be sold for veterin- ary put -poses. An Aberdonian asked a shop- keeper in Glasgow for a penny- worth of cheese, "We don't sell pennyworths," said the shopkeeper, "Well, show me two • penny• - worth," said the Scot. This was produced, whereupon the customer whipped out his pock- etknife, cut it in two, put down his penny and, picking up half of the cheese, said: "Trouble with you is —you're lazy!" A farmer who was asked • what time he went to work in the morn- ing replied: "Son, I don't have to• go to work.. I'm surrounded. with it when I get up.-" STUFF AND THINGS "1 sa. ol' boy, do you post?" 1'1n0.,.,:,apl, by your Put -o -1'.•p GRAND VALLEY—Grand Champion team at the C.N.E. this year.

Eight Days To Find Chinese Dollar Shanghai. --Blacksmith Chou Chu- ju thought himself fortunate when the judge fined him one Chinese dol- lar in a slander case—but the small- est change be could find in all Shanghai was a 10,000 dollar note. , (Single dollars have been out of circulation nearly two years, and it now takes 400 of them to equal one U.S. cent.) Chou searched Sanghai for days and eventually offered the court a 10,000.dollar note._ (25 cents, U.S.),- but the judge said the fine was one, dollar—no more, no less, Eight days after he was fined,. Chou found a one -dollar bill. ROOMS BEAUTIFULLY FURNISHED $1.50 up HOTEL METROPOLE NIAGARA FALLS OPP. — C.N.R.
