Brock, who lives across the road and the alarm was given and neighbors with fire extinguishers and buckets were soon on the scene and extinguished the blaze, but no-t before one-third of the roof on one side had been burn­ ed.

It is certain that extra care and thoughtfulness has to be exercised in the feeding to make them pay. At least two men are satisfied that hens do pay. Mr. Haddock, of Shipka, has 150 hens and from Jan­ uary the 15 th to February 29 th, 1928, he sold 212 dozen eggs at 36 cents a dozen $76.32 and 75 dozen eggs at 34 cents a dozen $25.50, making a total of $101.82 feed cost $47.12. \ piofit of $54.70 besides the eggs eaten in the home, a fine showing.

The Trail of ’28 The following •item together with* the poem was set up some weeks ago on the occasion of the Kirkton Hunt Club Supper; but owing to lack of space we have been unable to pub­ lish the same. The poetry will be read with in­ terest by many of our readers and is the reason why we are publishing it at this late date. ’ And out cried brave Hugh Berry, (Of Sunshine blood was he,). "I will abide at thy right hand And keep the wing with thee.” Out cried that giant, Roy Kirk; "Gadzooks, I’ve done my chores, I will abide at thy left hand And shoot them down in scores. Come! load -the -truck up quickly, And to the-firing line: If we don’t start this minute We wont get* home till nine.” Then Bibby’s bus it rumbled up, With weight of armored sides; And all the faint hearts crowded in, With many more besides.

About a hundred and fifty persons, being the wives and families of these mighty Nimrods sat down to a very sumptuous re­ past, Mr. Fred Kerr and daughter, of Crediton were the chief guests of the evening. Nearly everyone as­ sociated with the club was present, with the exception of the‘blub law­ yer, and the medical examiner.

GIBSON Several weeks ago the Times-Ad- vocate made mention of the death of Mr. G. G. Gibson, of Cates Avenue, St. Louis, who was the victim of a motor accident. Details of his death were lacking. It appears that Mr. Gibson in getting out of his car was knocked down by a passing car. He lived for a few hours but was un­ conscious most of that time. Mr. Gibson was born in Scotland nearly eighty years ago. He was the eldx est son of the late Captain Samuel Gibson, long a resident of Goderich. The deceased spent his early life on the Thames Road and lived foi’ sev­ eral years in Exeter. He is surviv­ ed by three children: Julian M. and Mrs. Cavanagh, of St. Louis and Doc- -tor Francis IL Gibson, of New York.

Niagara Falls Senior O.H.A. team four years ago, has been awarded the Mappin and Webb Trophy as the most valuable man on the roster of the Montreal Maroons. Siebert, who until mid-season had been a star at left wing, was switch­ ed to the defence, where he starred up while/teaming up with Red Dut­ ton. Siebert is one of the stiffest body checkers in hockey, has a great burst of speed, is .a good stick hand­ ler and the possfe^sb/ df a dangerous shot. He was selected over such stars as Hooley Smith, Nelson Ste­ wart, Dutton and Jimmy Ward by Montreal newspaper writers-. .......... ..............„ GENUINE WILLARD BATTERIES AND WILLARD SERVICE FOR ALL MAKES MITCHELL—A largo hennery own­ ed by Mr. Leslie, who lives U miles east of Mitchell, on the highway, was destroyed by fire on Wednesday of with $1000.00 insurance. last week. The building was 80 ft. long and contained modern equip­ ment installed only two months ago. About 1500 young chickens, 500 of them broilers, ready to ship and some incubators set, were destroyed, The buildings and equipment cost $3000 Hiram Copeland of Usborne By the nine gods he swore That the great town of Kirkton Should have rabbit pests no more. By the nine gods he swore’it, And named a trysting day; And hade his messengers,ride forth East, and west, and south, and ~ north, To summon his array. East and west, and South and north, Those messengers ride fast, Till Woodham, Whalen, Rannoch, Have heard the trumpet blast. Shame on the Huron farmer Who watches o’er his kine. When Captain Hiram Copeland Starts for the Roman Line. The word is passed, so swiftly, To Veitch, by word of mouth; And Burgin used a pint of -gas To push the word on south; The Prances all come prancing, There is a busy hum: . And not a farmer heard the call That dared refused to come. The Marshalls, Mills and Webbers Are selling tons of shells. O’er the roads the clans are gather­ ing With tinkling of sleighbells. Some men Walk in from Rannoch, And some from Winchelsea; And every farmer sent his son Till they mustered thirty-three. Meanwhile, far down in Biddulph Is tumult and dismay; The Irish Rabbits’ Union Foresee a fateful day. The Bunnies are all weeping And'crying with affright; Their warriors all look weak and. worn; They’ve watched the long, long ■ night. In Kirkton -the sun is shining, The Woodham road gleams white. And Hiram stood outside the Bank And stretched -to show his might. He’s a man of capability His ability is rare; His pump-gun fires shells so fast It gives us all a scare, Then up spake gallant Hiram And said, "Who follow me? Who will bide -at my right hand And keep the wing with me?” Never I ween, was stranger scene Read of in books or deam’t of dreams, Than the rabbit hunt ’neatli the sun’s beams; When the ice was friz in all streams. Half a block, Half a block, Half a block onward; Into the valley of death Ran the jack rabbits. "Forward! the Kirk-ton hunt, Charge for the wheat,” he said, Over the railroad tracks Ran those jack rabbits. Forward! the'Kirkton hunt, Was there a man dismayed? Not -though each hunter knew . Someone had lingered. Theirs not'tall tales to tell. Guns all around of them Theirs not to reason, well Theirs but to shoot a shell, Climbing each barb wired After jack rabbits. Guns to the right of them, Guns to the left’of them, Guns all around of them Volleyed or misfired. Stormed at with jeer and yell; They shot, yet not a rabbit Tell, O brave deeds they did, How they took cover and hid From -those jack rabbits. Banged all their guns in air, Crooked the line was there; Some even tore their hair, Pym got -too far ahead, All the world wondered. Kicked at with super-X Right through the line they strode. Rabbit and cotton-tail, Scared with black powder smoke, Turned t-ail -and sundered. Then they sat down to lunch; Those noble hunters. ’Twas very sad day when roll call was ©nade, For of thirty-three hunters, I’m very.afraid Tliat two were missing—one’s Chas. Paul; T’other is Washburn, say where did he fall. in the fence: Consigned to SILVERWOODS, LTD.
