Colonel Mark O. Kim- berling, prison Warden, said he made no confession to the crime, which he had maintained throughout that he did not commit. Injunction Against Small’s Estate Sought An application filed for an injunc­ tion to restrain the distribution of the estate of late Mrs. Ambrose Small, wife of the missing theatre magnate, may throw the whole mystery wide open to investigation again. The ap­ plication, made at Osgoode Hall, was filed in the name of Mary Florence Small, one of the two sisters of Am­ brose Small, who disappeared sixteen years ago, shortly after banking a $1,000,000 cheque, which was down payment he received for sale of his theatre interests.

To Investigate Price of Farm Machinery Ottawa—Plans were laid by House of Commons Committee Agriculture for an extensive inquiry into the price of farm implements in Canada. The question was referred to the committee by the Commons after the implement manufacturers increas­ er their prices this year. The increas­ es came in the face of a reduction from 25% to 12% per cent, in the tariff on farm machinery, under the United Statcs-Canada trade treaty. 1 first Can- 28th Change in Financial Set-Up of Hydro A far-reaching change in the ‘rela­ tions between the Ontario Govern­ ment and the Ontario Hydro Com­ mission was submitted to the Legis­ lature by Chairman T. Stewart Lyon in the twenty-eighth annual report of the Hydro Commission. Until now . the Government has acted as a bank­ er for the Hydro, both under the new plan the Commission becomes res­ ponsible, on behalf of the municipal­ ities, for the direct issuing and re­ issuing of' capital required by the Commission in the carrying on of its business. The sum of $185,000,000— representing money advanced by the Province for Hydro Commission pur­ poses—is to be separated from the general debt statistics of the Prov­ ince. Hauptmann Dies in Electric Chair Trenton, . N. J. — Bruno Richard Hauptmann walked to the electric chair Friday night' and died in sil­ ence for the murder of Colonel Char­ les A. Lindbergh's baby. His face was Separate Schools to Get More of Taxes Ontario separate schools will in fut­ ure get a larger share of taxes accord­ ing to Premier Hepburn’s, announce­ ment in the Legislature. The change in the law is as follows: 1. Corporations which, under the unamended Assessment Act “may" divide their taxes between the two types of schools in proportion to the creed of their shareholders, have in future no option. For this purpose, the word “may” becomes “shall.” 2. Corporations so vast and so com­ plex in structure that the proportion­ ate religious adherence of its share­ holders cannot reasonably be deter­ mined, must apportion their taxes in each municipality according to the ratio .of Protestants and Catholics in that municipality. (Under the old act, the full taxes of a great proportion of such huge corporations went en­ tirely to the public schools.) The Canadian subsidiaries of the United States and other foreign firms come under the second category in so far as the division of school taxes js concerned. Bill To Refund Alberta Debt Edmonton, — The Alberta Govern­ ment’s compulsory refunding bill, em­ bracing the whole public debt of $160,000,000 was given second read­ ing in the Alberta Legislature. The bill provides for. issuing of perpetual bonds bearing interest rates not less than 2.5 per cent. Dominion Relief Grant Cut Affects Municipalities The municipalities will have to bear the brunt of the Dominion’s cut of 15% in Ontario’s relief grant, but the Province will make every effort to have the cut restored, the Legis­ lature was told by Hon. David Croll, Minister of Welfare. The Hepburn Government was grievously disappointed by the Dom­ inion’s decision, Mr. Croll frankly admitted, but, outside of making­ strong representations to Ottawa to re-consider, it could do little. The only comfort he could offer the municipalities which were struggling under the burden of relief costs, he said, was the positive announcement that Ontario was not going to make a corresponding cut in the Provincial grant.

Harriston Britain Ready to Assist France London—Great Britain handed to the French and Belgian Ambassadors identical letters reaffirming her readi­ ness to assist in maintaining the East­ ern frontiers of France and Belgium in accordance with the Locarno treaty. Another letter, transmitted to the Ambassadors simultaneously, spe­ cified that negotiations with Germany must be carried on at the same time as the General Staff consultations. HYDRO LAMPS The Lon# Life Lumps No Aid from Dunning for Alberta Ottawa—Hon. Charles Dunning said he cannot entertain the proposal that the Dominion Government guar­ antee the Imperial Bank of Canada against loss in the event of the bank extending sufficient credit to the Pro­ vince, of Alberta to enable Premier Abcrhart to liquidate the $3,2'00,000 debt on which he defaulted. His at­ titude, of course, would be modified were the Social Credit Premier to ac­ cept the terms Mr. Dunning stipulat­ ed some days ago as the sine qua non of further financial assistance to Al­ berta, including acceptance by that Province of Loan Council supervision of Alberta financing, borrowing and spending. Most people recognize the seri­ ousness of constipation. But too often they dose themselves with strong cathartics that often actu­ ally lead to chronic constipation* The natural way to check com­ mon constipation is to correct the condition which cause's it—usually, insufficient “bulk” in meals. How can you get “bulk”? Fruits and vegetables have some. Bran has more. The most popular product of this kind is Kellogg’s All-Bran. The “bulk” in All-Bran is gentle in action. All-Bran also supplies vitamin B and iron. This delicious cereal is a whole­ some food. Serve All-Bran regu­ larly for regularity, with milk or cream—or use in cooking. Two tablespoonfuls of All-Bran daily will usually correct constipa­ tion due to insufficient “bulk.” If not relieved, see your doctor. All-Bran gives you gentle in­ ternal exercise.

Made by Kellogg in London, Ont. ^Constipation due to insufficient "built” Measles Cause Death, of Goderich Boy The death of Ross Durnin Whitely, Goderich, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A.

McLean found an old empty milk bottle lying on its side, in the garden. Upon clos­ er examination, she found three but­ terflies had wintered in the dry bot­ tle which wag taken into the house. Two of the butterflies were found to be dead, the severe winter being too much for them, but the third, when brought into the warmth, soon show­ ed signs, of life, but it soon died also. —Fergus News-Record. Two-Headed Pig Born One day last week a litter of pigs arrived at the farm of Mr. Roy Mc­ Donald, 8th concession, Minto. There were 13 pigs but the 13th pig was certainly an unlucky one, for its was born with two perfect heads but only one body. This young pig evidently did not relish living in this cold world as a freak having to go to the trough with two heads to support one’s body requirements, so it departed this life a few minutes after birth.—Palmers­ ton Observer. Undulent Fever at Dungannon Owing to the development of a case of undulent fever in Dungannon, the M.O.H. has posted a notice to all users of milk to boil the milk. All cows from which supplies of milk are sold to customers have been tested, but as results of the tests are not yet available, this precaution is advised, as it is believed that milk is the cause of the trouble. Mrs. Charles Elliott, wjio was taken to Goderich Hospital has had her case diagnosed, as undulent fever.

Two Sets of Twin Lambs Four Days Apart John Salkeld, Bayfiield Road, God­ erich Township, owns a ewe which gave birth to two lambs on March 25, and two more on March 29. This is believed to be unprecedented in this district. All were quite healthy at birth but one was rolled on by the mother and died, and another died from under nourishment.

Judgment Reserved in Barn Fire Judgment was reserved in County Criminal Court, Walkerton, by Judge W. G. Owens on a charge of arson against Herman Teschke of Chesley who was accused of setting fire to his own barn last October. Teschke was arrested last November when he confessed to Police Chief Laverty at Chesley. Following an investigation by the Provincial Fire Marshal’s De­ partment, nothing was discovered that suggested incendarism. Defense coun­ sel said Teschke suffered hallucina­ tions and imagined people had seen him burn the barn. He thought pol­ ice were watching him and that his house was wired so that everything he said was heard by the police. Financing Canadian Industries The Dominion Bank invites applications for credit to develop sound Canadian business. The funds entrusted to it belong in the main to Canadian depositors. The Bank therefore welcomes opportunities of extending credit to undertakings which employ Canadian labour and create new Canadian wealth. 446 Teeth Inspected in Walkerton School Walkerton dentists completed an inspection of the teeth of pupils in the Walkerton Public and Separate Schools. An analysis of their work shows that less than 10% of the child­ ren have anything near perfect teeth and in 50% of the cases, the teeth are in much need of immediate dental attention. It was also disclosed that ! in the 10% whose teeth are in good j condition, that these cases had receiv­ ed previous dental attention.
