Breen, who recently returned from overseas. He was the recipient of a purse of gold and the following address. Dear Will:— We ill:We your friends and neighbofs nave gathered here this evening not only to surprise you but to express to you in some trifling way our appreciation of the sacri- fices you have made by leaving your oc- cupation to go overseas in defence of our King and Country and our homes. During your preparations for the dan- gers of warfare, you were exposed to many hardships but never a murmur. While in France you did all in your power to make victory sure, and we are now glad to know that you are again safely among us, after helping to win one of the mist horrible wars in history. Kindly accept this, purse not for its in- trinsic value but as a means of expressing to you the esteem in which you are held; and hope you may long be spared to en- joy a life of peace and happiness. Signed James Halliday, Alex McPherson Hugh Russell Frank Powell Will made a suitable reply thanking them for their kindness. After which the remainder of the evening was spent in music, games and dancing, and everyone went home inthe wee sma' hours. T1^l.1' ,WIN EN"Ilk VOUR CROP " A ADVA.

If a field contains more than five acres and the cotlipetitor wishes to reduce it to the minimum allowed, it will be necessary for him to either cut a swath between the Part to be judged and the balance of the field, or set a row of stakes not less than four feet high for a division line, Unless this is done the judge will be required to score the whole field. Selection must be made from the•follow-, ing crops viz: Spring wheat, fall wheat, white oats, barley, rye, flint corn, dent corn, ensilage corn, peas, alsike clover, red clover, alfalfa, flax, potatoes, turnips, mangels, sugar beets, beans or other staple crops grown for seed in Ontario. 2—Cteu?Icr eons —Competition will be limited to those who are paid up mem- bers of a regularly organized Agricultural Society for the current year, and fields entered should be not more than fifteen miles from its headquarters. Competitors will be allowed to make entry in one Soci- ety only, for one or two crops, and only one entry can he made by each competi- tor in each kind of crop. This rule wil be strictly observed. A father and son residing on the same farm and working it in. partnership cannot make separate males. 3 SociinT7i't. ENTrur+,s—Societies de- siring to enter the competition must noti- fy me not later than the 1st day of May, except for corn, the'latestdate for making entry in which will be ,May 15th:- Not less than ten, bona fide entries for each crop in any 911111ciety will be accepted, and not less than ten fields must be judged before a Society can receive the Govern- ment grant, - 4 INDIVIDUAL ENTRIES—Indiduall entrids must be forwarded by the Secre- tary of each Society to ripe, on or before May 26th, 1919, except for corn, which will be recwed silp to June 16th. 5 A Society may charge an entry fee of not more than one dollar for each crop entered bya competitor; but thisisoption- al with the directors. 6 The Government grant to a Society for each crop will be $50, making a total of $100 if two crops are entered. This amounted must be supplemented by the Society to the extent of $25 for each com- petition. In the evept of one crop being entered, the total amount of prize money offered will be $75; for two crops the prizes to be awarded will be $150. In the event of prizes being offered at the exhibition of a Society, which has entered the crop competitions, the prize winners must e.ihibit at such iocaifair one sheaf of grain frem the prize winning field; said sheaf.to be not less than 8 inch- es in diameter at the binder The Arne and variety must be attached to the sheaf and also -quantity of, grain for sale. if any. The condition upon which' pri'ze- winners are to exhibit is• that riot less than $4, $3 and12 be given as fist, sec- ond and third prizes for such exhibits' of sheaves This will a dd 'materially to the. grain department at the fair and prove a good advertisement for the prize winners who have` grain to sell. Competitors who fail to exhibit la sheaf without giving reasons satisfactory to the Directors .will have their prize money withheld. . Not- ice of this change in the regulations must be given to the competitors at the time of making entry andthe secretary is<also re• quired to notir \the prize winners on re- ceipt from the Departm "' -If list of satne. 7 In order to encourage selection of the best varieties of grain and potatoes it has been decided that the Field Crop Competitors should select from the fol- lowing standard varieties: Fall Wheat— Dawson's - Golden Chaff, (white), Imperial Amber, (red)5,°, Spring Wheat,- Marquis Iced Fife, Wild Goose. Oats—O. A. C. No. 72, Banner, Barley—O. A. C. No. 23, Mandscheuri. Peas—Golden Vine, Canadian, Beauty, (white marrewfoot) Arthur. Beans—Pea. Corn (Dent) —Wisconsin No. 7, White Cap; Yellow Dent, Bailey, Golden `Glow, Corn (Flint) --North Dakota, Long- fellow, Quebec Yellow. Potatoes—Green Mountain, (Delaware) —Carman No. 1, Davies Warrior, Dooley, Irish Cobbler, (Extra Early Eureka), Early Ohio. This does not prohibit the use of any other variety than those named, but when the judge is scoring a field, if any other variety than the above-named standard ones is grown, two points will be deduct- ed from the total score, The amount contributed by the Society of $25 for each crop, and also the prizes for sheaves at local fairs can be counted in as expenditure for agricultural purposes in the yearly financial statement on which the regular annual grant is based, If an entry fee charged for each crop, the net amount paid by a Society would be very small when the large financial bene- fits received by the members who take partin these competitions are considered.. 8 Seven prizes must be offered as fol- lows for each crop in the field: First $20; Second, $15; Third, $12; Fourth, $10; Fifth, $8; Sixth, $6; Seventh, $4. These must be paid in full to the winners with out any deduction. 9 The Secretaries of Societies should urge competitors in the different crops try select the same variety of grain, potatoes, etc„ and have them sown as nearly as po*ible during the same week, lay so doing the crops will be nearly in the same stage of *ripeness,' and the work of the. judge be facilitated. 10 Jhilx+ss-The Ontario Department of Agriculture will furnish judges free of charge. i•_ ear's 1txeitiirr 1i;'r PROVINCIAL WIRT= FAilats—Substantial cash prizes will be offered by the Government for two -bushel seeks of grain and one and. one-half bushel of potatoes, and one bushel (70 pounds) of torn in the ear, at both the Eastern and Western Provincial'• vincial Fairs, the competition for which. will be confined to the first seven prize matinees inihtanding Field Crop Com- petitions, and those who have scored 85 points and , over.

On being asked who -the stranger was Webber could not°tell them, or would he say Sow much he got for the liquor and, of course;=did not know its destination. In court here today, Crown Attorney Seager reminded Magistrate Grigg that when this case was in court over two years ago, at the time the liquor was seized, Webber had sworn that he got the liquor for the use of himself and his wife, and thought that the 12 barrels would perhaps not be enough for them, as it only meant a half a pint a day for 14 days. It was a most daring case of law viola- tion, as Webber knew that he could not legally dispose of the liquor,, he having been warned at the time he took delivery of it after its being held in custody for two years,and being returned as a result of an Order -in -Council recommended by the Minister of Justice: . Webber pleaded guilty to the charge of selling in violation of the Dominion regu- lations and to the magistrate he said it, was either a case of selling the whiskey of sending his wife to the asylum, as its had been a great worry to thein on account of • the people wantingto purchase it, also the clanger of it being stolen. The magistrate imposed a fine of $200 and costs.
