ever, there still are a few long-distance
riders left, and one of them is a 20-
year-old Buffalo youth, Edward
Schano. He wheeled from Buffalo to
Hanover, a distance of 180 miles, in
less than 17 hours. —- Hanover Post.
Tall Corn
Last week two stalks of corn which
were taken from a field on Mr, Wil
fred Horne’s farm, third line Wallace,
were brought into this office and each
one measured over 11 feet in length,
This corn has reached some height for
this time of^year and perhaps if Mr.
Horne hadn’t cut them they would
have made Jack's famous bean
look small.—Listowel Banner.

Rough Ride
Parked in front of the Tasty Grill
Wednesday morning, a car owned by
Robert Armstrong, 128 Maplewood
Ave., Toronto, had a rough trip over
the curb and across the sidewalk
when struck by a car driven by Robt.
Mabon, Goderich youth. Mabon, who
was arrested by Constable Currie on
a careless driving charge, told police,
“I guess I looked the other way at
the wrong time. Later in the day he
was released on his own bail to ap
pear in poliie court here on August
29th.—Seaforth Huron Expositor.
Oats Yield 90 Bushels to Acre
Off a one and a half acre lgt A. D.
McCartney, Clinton, has recently har
vested 141 bushels of oats. There are
those who say “I don’t believe it.” Re
cently we talked to Mr. J, Shearer,
Agricultural Representative, being
ourselves rather skeptical. Mr. Shear
er said he believed the yield authentic
as the grain had been weighed on the
town scales and pointed out that the
seed was purchased from Alexander
Stewart of Ailsa Craig, a farmer who
has held the title of Canada’s Oat
ing.—Clniton News-Record.
I Any change from local option would1
have necessitated the beverage room
forces polling a three-fifths vote.
Freak Egg
Mrs. Albert Norman, Staffa, this
week while in the act of preparing an
extra large egg for her young son’s
dinner, was more than surprised when
she broke it and found not only one
egg-, with a perfect yolk was within
but another small egg about an inch
long, shell and- all, the latter without
any yolk. More than a meal for any
small fellow. — Mitchell Advocate.
Going to Scotland • !
Early in September Jimmy Colqu-
houn, son of Mrs, Colquhoun and the
late Mr. James Colquhoun, leaves for
Edinburgh, Scotland, where he will
play hockey this winter, returning af
ter some twenty-eight weeks. — Mit
chell Advocate.

Betty Fisher, 7-year?old daughter
of Wilfred Fisher, Ethel, fractured her
left wrist when she fell from an apple
tree where - she was picking apples'.
She was removed to the Memorial
Hospital by Dr. Richmond of Ethel.
Fire Narrowly Averted'
While threshing was in progress on
Wednesday afternoon on the farm of
Andrew Jacklin, 16th concession, Grey
township, fire got in ■'the blower. The
threshing machine was pulled out of
the barn at once and by the heroic
work of the men, the fire-was exting
uished. .
Ripley Stays Dry
Ripley Village, by 166 votes to 149,
rejected a move for beverage rooms
and decided to continue as a local op-
tion town; Two subdivisions were op
erated, one returning a 17 majority
for the wet forces, and the other a ma
jority of 34 for the dry supporters.
Brussels Post Entered _
On returning to the office of “The
Post” at about 11.30 Monday evening
C. Borho found the back door of the
building was standing open.- Two
locks, a bolt lock and an ordinary lock
both of which had been fastened,
had been forced open apparently by
excessive pressure as there were no
noticeable marks on the outside of the
door. Nothing inside had been touch
ed as far as could be seen. Constable
Ferguson was notified and G. Mc
Dowell, of BrUssles, investigated. —

Buffalo to Hanover on Bicycle
Years agbT when bicycle riding was
at the height of its popularity, it was
the goal of all good cyclists to be a
“century rider”—that is, to ride 100
miles in a day. With the advent of
the automobile the bicycle with its
“push power” is not so popular any
more, and we imagine there are not
very many ipresent day riders who

At the August meeting of the
lage Council the tax rate for 1939
sqt at 41.4 mills made up;as follows:
County 4.5, village 14, street lighting
4.5, school 12, library 1, relief 6, de
benture 4.8. The 1938 rate was 44

Quits County Home for Jail
So angry is George Burnett, a guest
at Huron Home for the Aged at Clin
ton, against the management of the
institution that he ran away and chose
jail in preference to going back. He
was remanded to jail one week when
he objected to returning to the home.
Mr. Burnett is mad because they took
away his pal, Tom Casemore, to On
tario Hospital, at London. In Case-
more’s room were found nine straight
blade razors, three pocket knives,
three safety razors and some matches.
For some summers the two old cron
ies, Brunett and Casemore^ have been
camping out in a nearby bush on the
banks of the river, returning to the
county home for their meals.
Dish Pan Robbery
Elliott’s lunch, Seaforth, was enter
ed and a quantity of cigarettes and
Chocolate bars stolen, together with a
dish pan, used, police believe, to car
ry the stolen goods in. Entry was
made by raising a rear window and
unlocking the door. Dickson’s feed
store also reported the theft of $3
from a till in the store at noon as Mr.
Dickson was absent from the store for
a few minutes. Police traced the theft
to a local juvfenile and a'portiqn of the
money was recovered.
More Chicken Thefts
At various times during the present
summer poultry7 thefts have been re
ported by farmers of the township 8f
Carrick. Jos. Berberich is the’ latest
to report a loss, twelve of his liens
having been stolen last week. We un
derstand that the constable who' in
vestigated the case have found’ a val
uable clu,e that will probably lead’ to.
an arrest.—Mildmay Gazette.
Car Passes Over Child
A narrow escape from serious in
jury or probably a fatality occurred,
when Mary Louise Grant, the 11-
months-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
James Grant of town, received a bro
ken leg below the right.knee and bad
scrapes and bruises caused by a car,
driven by Mr. Herb McNaughton,
passing over her while she was play
ing in a lane near the family home
opposite the bathing pool on Yonge
St. It appears the child had toddled
behind the parked auto and was not
detected by the driver when he climb
ed into the vehicle and started .to back
away. As the child was stunned and
made no outcry, the first intimation
Mr. McNaughton had of the mishap,
was his sighting the little one on the
driveway in front of^iim after lie had:
backed over the child. — Walkerton
Car Hit Threshing Machine
Suffering severe neck injuries, in a
car crash near here, iMrs. Joseph
Swanson, Nyack, N.Y,, was taken to
hospital at Listowel. Her condition is
good. Mrs. Swanson has been visiting
her sister, Mrs. Thomas Vines, of El
ma Township. Her car was in collis
ion with a threshing machine.

Back of Games Largely Responsible
For 6*0 Lose By Lpcals
Giorge Brigden
“ President
Er. wood A. Hughes
General ManagerOne of the season's best crowds
locally, watched t’he Wingham Hurons
bow meekly to the Hanover Red Sox
at the Park last Saturday. The score' ing wasn’t too bad, though not good
was 6-0 and it was the first shut-out
inflicfed on the Hurons in rnatiy a
year, at least six that we have records
jfof, tt was the Tribes first game in
two weeks and only their seeend in
three and the club were far from the
form that won them twelve straight |
games earlier in the season. The field- ons, but was in trouble much of the
by any means, but it was at the plate
that the Braves looked worst. They*
were absolutely handcuffed by the
veteran, Pin. ThofnpSdn who holds
credit to ^e Only two wins scored
against the 'Tribe this year.
Bob Chalmers started for the Hur-
time, Two three run outbursts were
charged to him before Bridgeford re
lieved him in the sixth. After two men
bad been retired in the third and Ellis
was on first via a fielders choice, Har
vey Kreuger smashed a home run over
the centre field fence, his only hit of
the day. An error by Smith and Mag
woods'triple brought about the third
run, In the sixth Bob was subjected
t’o quite a barrage. Ellis beat out a
short roller and Krueger poped for
one out, Willoughby lined a double
over the fence and Magwood scored
both with a single to right. Moore
Moore fanned but three successive
hits scored Magwood and filled the
baset:. Mac C Cammon made a nice
catch on Moos’ long fly to left to
end the scoring for the day.
The Hurons best scoring chance
came in the first after Smith had op
ened with a double and slid under
Magwood’s throw to third on Mellar’s
roller, Fred stole second butThere was
no dice as Somers fanned. Groves pop
ped and Doran flied to centre, A one
hand stab by Carmichael which re
sulted in a double-play was the field
ing feature, The Red Sox played
steady ball in the field and were full
value for their win.
