mer road, a sen of the late 'Charles
Albert Massey, whose family estab-
lished the firm of Massey -Harris and

shots from the verandah at her em-
ployer, one of them going wild and
the second striking him in the chest
close to the heart, Mr. Massey died
almost immediately. The girl is held.
on a charge of murder.
According to the story told by the

and waited for him. He got his mon-
ey, and when he had walked -a short

shot was fired and Massey dropped on
the sidewalk. The girl was said to
be on the verandah then.

to his home, when the sr -eating took
place. He was soon at Maesey's side,
but could do nothing for him. The

val surrounded the house, Sergt.

found Albert Massey, aged. 14, a son.
After passing through the rooms of
the ground floor he started to ascend

come up. He called back, command-
ing her to come down. They .met at
the top of the stairs. She had the re-
volver itt her hands with which she
did the shooting, but did not attempt
to use it.
Miss Davies had been employed by
Massey for the past two years.
According to pollee and neighbors,
Mrs. Massey left Toronto yesterday

The Empire's Call to Farmers
"Approximately twenty minion men have been mobilized in Europe. A Iarge pro-
portion of these have been withdrawn from the farms of the countries at war. Even in
neutral countries large numbers of food producers have been called from the land to be
ready for emergencies. It is difficult for us to realize what will be the effect on food pro-
duction through the withdrawal of several million men from all the great agricultural
countries of Europe. These millions cease to be producers, they have become consumers;
-worse still, they have become destroyers of food."
