been to reduce the number of magis-

Buffalo Exects to be
Great Grain. Shipper
Buffalo—Buffalo grain brokers were
confident that the third test shipment
of Canadian wheat sent via Buffalo
and New York to England duty free
will go a long way toward re-estab-
lishing this port as one of the prin-
cipal grain trans -shipping centres of
the world.
The test shipment which left Buff-
alo for New York via rail about Dec.
1, comprised approximately 8,000 bus-
hels of a cargo of Canadian grain
shipped here from Fort William in a
vessel of United States registry. A
letter from the purchaser in England,
dated prior to the shipment of the
grain, was reported to have accom-
panied the test shipment, On the bas-
is of the letter, British Customs au-
thorities are reported to have consid-
ered the shipment as`complying with
the Ottawa .preference regulations.

Rabbit Shooting Now
Commercial Enterprise
Judging from reports of the grow-
ing population of jack rabbits in this
district, what has previously been a
popular sport, will now become a pro-
fitable commercial sideline to those
adept with a shotgun.
An advertisement appears else-
where from a Toronto firm, which we
trust is reliable, stating that •cotton-
tails will be bought at 30c a pair, with
"Jacks"at a premium price of 25c
each.
Rabbits have become increasingly
annoying and do much damage annu-
ally to farm crops, shrubs and young
trees, but if this prospective market ■
does not soon become glutted the ■
slaughter of bunnies which may fol- ■
low, will do much to rid this menace NI
in the community.—Lucknow Sentin111

killed a fine fat, steer but fortunately
did not ignite the barn, There were
no lightning rods on the barn.
An Enviable Record
Tara has an enviable record and
one which we doubt if any municipal-
ity in the County can equal, in the
fact that there' is only $72,00 of out-
standing taxes for 1933, and it is ex-
pected that practically every cent will
be collected within a few weeks.

Shelter at Walkerton when the mat-

the warm condition of its body, it
would seem death had occurred but
a short time before. A sad ,trail of
unfortunate circumstances leading up
to the placing of this child in the
