At a well attended meeting of Con- servatives in the Carnegie Library on Monday evening, addresses were given by the candidate, Mr. N. W. Trewar- tha, Mrs. Failis, and Mrs. Trewartha. Mr, J. H. Reid was. chairman. Mr. Trewartha gave a clear and concise statement of the present situation of the farmer in South Huron, he him- self being a farmer.. He pointed out that butter is now brought in from New Zealand, laid down in Huron county at 27c a pound, and can be stored until next spring for 2c a pound, a total cost of 29c. Mr. Thom- as McMillan has been one of the strongest supporters of the Austral- ian New Zealland treaty, bringing our farmers into competition with New Zealand. Our climate compels us to have expensive stabling for six months of the year, while fu' New Zealand the cattle are on the grass the whole year which makes it easy for each farmer to own 200 cattle and employ only a couple of men, with milking machines under open sheds. Other markets, as the wool market, have been taken a- way similarly, said Mr, 'Trewartha, and many farmers still have their wool stored in their barns with no hope of moving it at a fair price. Mr. Mc- Millan has been sincere, no doubt, in his speeches and letters in favor of bringing New Zealand butter, etc., in- to Canada, but for political reasons he has forsaken his policy by voting for the Dunning budget. Mr. Trewartha dre.s attention to the scarcity of money in South Huron —a pian who has held auction sale notes for years has had to quit be- cause he has out over 4,000 which he cannot collect. In paying tribute to Hon. R. B. Bennett, lir, Trewartha said that Mr, Bennett's platform will give our .farm ere and their sons a chance, and that one of the reason- he was a candidate in this election was his very high .re- gard for Mr. Bennett ab a man and as a leader. 'irs. Fallis, who by the way, lives on a farm at .Peterboro and until eight years ago was on a farm at Yellow- grass. Sasir„ near Mr. and Mrs. Sam. Hanna now of Seaforth, appealed to the women to use their franchise— taking part in politics is merely tak- ing an interest in the government of our coun'tr•y. This election is truly a bread-and-butter election, she said, be- cause hundreds of thousands of amen are out of work. Mrs. Faille has a thorough grasp of facts and her -address- was listened to with the keenest attention by all. She showed that the member for South Huron; Mr, McMullan, had discarded his lifelong free trade policy for this election,. that the King government had withdrawn almost a11• money grants which. they controlled, from Ontario, namely, grants to Agricul- ture, Technical Education, Highways and Unemployment; ie spite of the fact that• Ontario contributes more than any other province to the Dominion treasury; that the Dunn- ing budget was mere bluff, giving Bri- tish preference to hundreds of items such as hay, straw, $16 umbrellas, etc. that would never be 'imported info' Canada and also charged Mr. Denn- ing with giving no statement df pito- baffle receipts and expenditures for this year, the first time since Confede- ration such an ommission had been attemped,' because his budget was de- signed to cat eh votes and not to carry on the country's business. The speak- er pointed out that Mr. Bennett had oracle an outstanding success of his. own business and would apply sound business ptftciples to Canada's affairs. Mr. Reid next called upon Mrs. Trewartha who gave a short address in regardorganizationto work and it was decided that for the present the women would work in ' cosr unction with the men's organization. A hear- ty vote of thanks was tendered the speakers and the meeting closed with the National Anthem, SHOWER FOR BRIDE -ELECT. On Wednesday evening„ June le, about sixty friends and neighbors ga- thered at the home of Mr William Oidlfield in honour of the bride-to-be, Miss Mabel Kruse, whose marriage takes place June 28. Cards and music were indulged in until midnight. A dainty lunch wia,s served. alter which the bride was called to the centre of the floor. An address was read by Mr.; David Gemnfell and a prettily decorated wagon was drawn in by two little -girls, with a miniature bride on e white throne surrounded by the nu- merous gifts. The bride, taken com- pletely by surprise, thanked the guests very much for their thoughtFulness• The address was as follows: ''Dear Mabel,—We, your friends -and neigh- bors, having learned of your ap- proaching marriage, have gathered here this evening to express our -ap- preciation of your qualities as friend and neighbour and also to show our regret that you' are soon going to leave us. Hawing lived here all your life,we feel that our departure will be 'felt as a deep loss throughout the neighborhood. Your . services have always been willingly and cheerfully given in any time of stress. We real- ize the sincere loss that will be felt in this community owing to ' your de- parture. But we are quite confident that the new community into which you are going will benefit by our loss. We did not like to see you leave us without having this little social gath- ering where we could all meet you again and show our appreciation even in a small way. We now ask you to accept these small gifts and our best wishes for a happy and prosperous married life. Signed on behalf of the neighbors." - FUNERAL OF MRS. STOBIE.

It was Friday, the 20th, a week la- ter than the 13th, at 4 p.m, the young girls and old boys, exiles from Huron, gathered in exhibition park, Toronto, for their annual picnic. Secretary Floody was first to arrive, or among the first. A smile and warm Huron welcome he had for everyone. The book—and the tickets, particularly the latter—were conspicuous. The Artful Dodger himself couldn't dodge Ed, Floody, But Floody, from Blyth, did- n't know whet was coming to him, but it come. Over in the transportation buildings long rows of tables were loaded with good Huron grub—the kind of food mothers learnt their daughters. to pre- pare back in the yesterday: And there was lots of it. And we went at it just as we used to do at barnraisings, threshings, quilting bees, and church socials yonder in the old banner coun- ty of 'Huron. Exiles never forget home. There was no twenty minutes for refreshment at "the stop" in the transportation building, Ed Floody was as nervous as a railroad conduc- tor of a limited train half an hour late. He sensed there was something doing —a stuash-up or something down the line. Everyone wanted to talk to the secretary—to kill time -till Judge Duncan arrived, Floody wanted to get on with the, program, but Mrs. Thom- son and others kept him t lkin — sonteone told hire to lipid on, there was to be an executive meeting. He wondered what the dickens an exe- cutive meeting was for. Judge E. J. B. Duncan who was the second president of the Huron Old Boys, arrived. The Judge, suppdrt'ed by Judge McLaren, sheriff, prosecut- ing attorney Proudfoot, defending counsel Lee, .all gowned, were ready in an improvised court, for Officer O'McCreath and his prisoner, one Ed- ward Floody, The officer had the sec- retary in true cop style by the collar of the coat. In the arrest Floody's straw lid flew, but a bystander grabb- ed it. The complaint was laid by Presi- dent D. D. Wilson. The warrant, sighed and sealed with a big red seal, read. The Huron Old..

These are, therefore,- to comnsand you to take the said Ed- ward Floody and to bring hint before me forthwith at the Sittings of this Honorable Court in the transportation building at the exhibition grounds in the said city o£ Toronto, or before such other Judge d'Affaires as may he presiding thereat, there to testify what he may know concerning the matters in question hereinbefore re- ferred eferred to and that you detain him in your custody until he shall have given his evidence or until other order shall be made by the Court concerning him. Given under my hand this 20th day of June, 1930, at Toronto E. J. B. DUNCAN, Judge d'Affaires The judge in sentencing Secretary Floody, in which Judge McLaren con- curred, said: You were apprehended on the charges read to you and for your de- fence you have left nothing .undone and nothing unsaid that might tend to clear you of these charges and we think the great ability of your defence counsel was shown in his advice to you to plead guilty for we may say without any hesitation that it is the opinion of this Court that no charge was ever preferred against any man with more reason or with stronger evidence in support than in your case, Your record shows that each time an opportunity has offered for reaching out in certain directions, more espec- ially in the matter of obtaining more members and selling more at-home tickets, you have grasped it so quickly as to show that were on the alert con- tinually with malice aforethought and it is not surprising therefore that you have landed where you find yourself to -day. It is to be hoped you will realize that the sentence about to be passed upon you is, considering all the circumstances, such as in your calmer moments will be considered as not greater than the conditions warrant. The sentence of this Court, from which there is no appeal, is that you take this key and insert it in the small aperture made for that purpose in the door of the instrument known as a Grandfather's 'Clock, and that you will there and then wind the said clock and repeat this operation as of- .ten as may be necessary so that in this way you will "do time" for the rest of your natural life, and you are so accordingly sentenced. The inscription on the beautiful clock, engraved on in brass plate, reads: "Presented to Edward Floody by the Huron Old Boys' association of Toronto, in recognition of his ex- ceptionai Services as secretary of the association from its inception in the year 1900. 5He rase to honor and to fame, Through loyalty to Huron's name.'" Ed. Floody couldn't carry the clock around with him, ao they presented him with a solid gold pin, inscribed, "Huron Old Boys' A s , ys ssociattan of To- ronto. f Huron County crest) Ed- ward Floody, in appreciation of effic- ient service --1900-19130." The ladies presented Mrs. Floody with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Edward Floody in accepting` the clock and pin, in defiance of the sen- tence of the court, said he would coat- tlnne to sell tickets to the- ud 1 gas, the sheriff, the prosecuting attorney and others. He bore up well under a trying ordeal for any man.But the entotions nearly gained the upper hand when he graciously thanked the Ladies for the beaufi,ful bouquet of flowers presented to Mrs. Floody. Notes. An old-timer from Seaforth was at" the picnic swapping yarns with other old-timers—games Wright, Who wal- e school mate with Thomas A. Edi- son, the electric wizard, in the village-. of Vienna, Elgin county. Judge Duncan fumbled arounI his: - pockets for the clock key. ,First he looked at Officer O'McCreath, then, at the sheriff, then at OMoCreatlr. again. He wasn't sure which one - picked his pocket, but the severe look he gave the cop, one could tell where his suspicipns rested. The comedy -drama moved quickly.. Ed. Floody wasn't given a chance to inspect the grandfather's clock. He got a look at it that was all. Finally._ he came hack to "the court" to ex- amine, and to behold someone had: "pinched" the clock. Perhaps it was: the judges, the sheriff, the cop or Doug. Wilson, Time flies—and so- did odid the clock. It was found after-- ' wards at 58 Close avenue, where Ed- ward Floody resides, when at home. The broom football match was one of the best features of the afternoon. Twelve ladies on each side were cep - - taired by Mrs. G. C, Young and Mrs. H. B.Stowe. After a hard fought - battle. a truce was arranged and each lady was presented with a broom and. a bottle of malt vinegar. Bert McCreath was the starter in the foot races and C. G• Van -stone,. Geo. Ferguson and John Moon acted. as judges. Treasurer Lorne Pringle was the, busiest man on the grounds. T. L. Blake, formerly of Hullett, was early on the grounds, and took in all of the events, Robert Holmes was chairman of - the reception committee and did his work well. Doesn't W. Proudfoot make anid- eal crown prosecutor? II you don't believe it, ask Secretary Floody. W. - Elliott Richmond, an old' schoolmate of Secretary Floody at S.S. No. 7, Hullett, over fifty years ago, was present and as live' as a. Y kitten, President D. D. Wilson was in his glory and particularly when taking part in the staged drama in the trans- portation building. J. A. McLaren and E. J. B. Dun- can looked very becoming in their - judicial - judicial gowns, Bert McCreath made an ideal pol- iceman. Some of our Toronto cops might take a tip from Bert. The refreshments were up to date. and one better, The Lipton tea race brought out over 100 Huron ladies in the line up for the 100 packages of tea. The refreshment committee made up of Mrs, D. Thompson, Mrs. Stowe, . Mrs, G, C. Von atone, Mrs G. C. Young, Mrs. D. Hoag, Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Pringle, Mrs. J. A MoLaren,.. Mrs, D. Hodgins and Mrs. J. Moon; deserve special mention for their ex- cellent arrangements. . Mr, and Mrs. Jack Sutter of Clin- ton, were welcomed visitors, and took in all the events. Rev. W.
