FLOWER SHOW The Directors of the Exeter Hor­ ticultural Society have decided to hold a flower show in the Town Hall on August 24th and 25th. Last year none was held and the flower lovers of this district were greatly disappointed. Everyone should now plan to contribute something to the success of this year’s show. 2» HORSKS were entered FOR EXETER RACES , Fi«o weather prevailed-—Good Crowd present—Races Keenly Contested Fine weather prevailed for the races which were held in Exeter on Wednesday of last week and a large crowd was present to see some of the finest horses in Western Ont­ ario compete in the various events. With the large field the judges had difficulty in getting the horses away to a good start but when once they did the spectators were treat­ ed to some rare bursts of speed over a track that was in good con­ dition. While the crowd was large it was not as large as it might have been as many farmers were detain­ ed at home because of the catchy weather that has prevailed for the harvest. $1200 were offered in prizes in three events with purses of $400 each. In the 2.10 trot or pace there were five entries with four to start. In the 2.16 there were seven entries and in the 2.24 there were ten. The results as follows:’ FIGHT AGAINST LIQUOR- were BASEBALL’ BURGLARS RAID DUBLIN CHURCH, STORES, DEPOT Mission Box of St. Patrick’s Catho­ lic Church Emptied by Thief. Three business places, St. Pat­ rick’s Chuch, and the Canadian Na­ tional station at Dublin were brok­ en into by thieves some time dur­ ing the early hours of Tuesday jnorning. Confectionery, gasoline, money, Chocolate bars, cigarettes, cigars and gum were taken by the robbers, along with the Western mission box from the church. The business places that were en­ tered were Hill’s Hardware, Staple­ ton’s Flour and Feed, Smith Bros. Garage. At the C. N. R. station the thieves ■entered by breaking the lock on the waiting-room door, while at the ■ciiurch they entered through the main front door. County Constable M. J. Nagle, who is woking oxi the case, is of the opinion that the thefts were com­ mitted at early morn, as the dew on the grass, where the automobile us­ ed by the men had been parked, was completely wiped. A sum of $20.00 was taken from the flour and feed store, which had heen left in the till. Chocolate bars ■and cigars were removed from the garage, while the thieves replenish­ ed their gas tank at the hardware store. A few cents were also re­ moved from the till in tlie hard­ ware. It is believed that the men who committed this robbery are the ones responsible for the series of rob­ beries that have been committed in •the district around London during traces police which the past few weeks. No whatever were left for the to work upon. The exact amount of money was in the mission box at the church is- not known, as it had ■opened for some time. No person in the village automobile or saw any strangers at a late hour last not been heard the signs * of night.

Cxechoslovakia Are Educating; Young People Against Evil, Founded in 1905, the Czechoslovak Society qf Total Abstainers has xnade remarkable progress in its work of educating the masses of the nation, and especially the young people, re­ garding the evil effects of over-indul­ gence In alcoholic drinks, according to reports presented to its first na­ tional congress, recently held in Prague. Dr. Brettelav Foustka, head of the Czechoslovak temperance movement, pointed out that there were more than 1,000 local units of the society, with 20,000 adult members and more? than 35,000 school children enrolled, The society’s official propaganda or­ gan, Vyssi Narod, is six years old and has a wide circulation. Pictures and leaflets are used freely in the work of Showing the youth of the re-born republic the dangers. Prof. Foustka, as quoted in the Prager Presse, sees the ultimate “de­ liverance of the nation from the scourge of alcohol,” not in sumptu­ ary legislation, but in preparing the masses for the eventual abolition of the liquor traffic through education based on positive eyjdence of the ad­ vantages of temperance. Among the many prominent Czechoslovak statesmen and other public men listed as supporters of the temperance movement as Thoma* G. Masaryk, President of the repub­ lic, and Eduard Benes, Minister of Foreign Affairs. 2.10 Trot ox* Pace Hall 1 Dr. Whiteley, Goderich Carl Private 2 A. Allan, Parkhill Jean Peters 3 D.

An eight-hour day and one day off a week for horses is the starting point of an animals’ Magna Charts. The French League fop the Pro­ tection of Animals hopes eventually to get the League of Nations to sanc­ tion these proposed rights of dumb animals. Dr. E. G. See, head of the protec­ tive society, Is actively seeking sup­ port for his plan. His proposal Is that a number of laws applicable to the labor of man be applied by the Government to the four-footed beasts which arc .protected now only against extreme physical abuse. The eight-hour law, he' says, and the slx-day week, are needed as badly by horses as by man. The difference is that the horse has no vote and he doesn’t go on strike for better work­ ing conditions and more play. He works for his board and sometimes doesn't get It.

They pijed up a score that looked like a softball or cricket match. The locals had the team from the county town com­ pletely at their mercy and the game was so one-sided that it lacked int­ erest for the large crowd that was present. The first time at bat for the locals, nine men faced the pit­ cher. first hits; field another two-base hit scoring Medd and Tieman. ed four men had crossed the plate and two men were on bases. Fritzs- ley was doing mound duty for Gode­ rich. He started in on the second innings and the boys again started to connect, Medd with a single and E. Tieman with another two-base hit scoring Medd. Fritzley was re­ lieved by Tunney but the latter fail­ ed to stop the' merry-go-round. L. Tieman secured a single scoring, his brother and Hind on a sacrifice hit scored L. Tieman. That finished the scoring for the innings but when the side was retired the bases were full, each man having had another turn at the bat. The third innings was a repetition, of the first and se­ cond. Medd got a hit followed by E. Tieman. L. Tieman struck out. Hind got a hit and filled the- bases. Beavers came to bat and landed a beauty over centre field Medd and Tieman. Hind out at home. When tihe ended Exeter had chalked more runs and two men were left on bases. Murney relieved Tunney in the pitching box towards the last of the innings. Towards the end of the innings Goderich started stall­ ing for time with the hope that the game would not go the five innings as dusk was appoacliing and five innings were necessary for a game. The next twice that Exeter went to bat was a fiasco in order to has­ ten the game, innings Goderich the third, one in in the seventh. The line-up:—Murney 2nd; Due- quet 3rd; Sanderson C.; Archer ss?

The largest telescope in Italy, with a mirror 40 inches in diameter, is now in use at the Merate Observa­ tory, In the foothills of the Alps, about twenty miles northeast of Milan. Ordered in 1923, when the dust and smoke of Milan made it necessary for the Observatory p.t Milan to move to a better location, the new instrument embodies all the latest Improvements. It is a reflect­ ing telescope, in which the 40-lnch concave mirror takes the place of the convex lens in the more familiar type of telescope. The moving parts of the telescope weigh over eighteen tons, yet so perfectly are they bal­ anced that a one-half horsepower motor is adequate for turning the in­ strument to follow the stars across the sky. The instrument was built by the Carl Zeiss Optical Works in Jena, Germany.

The'coldest spot on earth is a new laboratory in Berlin to study strange changes that take place in substances exposed to temperatures as low as 425 degrees below zero — within about eight points of absolute zero! This is done by liquifying helium gas under high pressure, then allowing it to expand, explains the Popular Sci­ ence Monthly. . At such, a temperature some metals, such as silver and copper for example, lose their resistance to elec­ tricity, becoming super-conductors. A thread of frozen mercury, it is said, can carry enough electricity for sev­ eral hundred lamps.

Steel plates may be used for paving future streets in big cities. This is to save periodic repair, which, as towns grow larger and busier, be­ comes more costly and troublesome. Steel would be an ideal surface, since rubber has now largely replac­ ed metal for vehicle tyres. Pipes and electric lines could be laid beneath removable plates, thus saving the cost Of digging up roads.skies kept away many but still there was a fair crowd present.
