Norman Robinson, aged about 17
.years, is in a serious condition from
injuries received Thursday evening
when a chemical mixture with which
he , and several of his 'companions
were experimenting exploded with
rterrific force in the neighborhood of
the United Church, Teston, two and
one-half miles northwest of Maple.
The boys, it is reported, had placed
the explosive on the road in front
of the church, but as a motor car
•drove downthe road Robinson pick-
-ed up the paper bag containing the
explosive substance and started to
run. The bag was dropped accident-
ally and in the explosion that follow-
ed the clothing was practically blown

Bisley Camp—Canada marches tri-
umphantly to the climax of the Nat-
ional Rifle Association's Great Em-
pire meeting.
Her marksmen have led all the
famous military shots of the Empire
in two of the most difficult tests of
-the meeting. Lieutenant Desmond
Burke, of Ottawa, King's Prize win-
ner of 1924, captured the Grand Ag-
rgregate for the second time iii his
-career as a rifleman of the first rank.

toric King's prize.
IVl'acDonlad, De Valera
Conference Unsuccessful
London—"Neither party was able
to depart from the position taken up
in published despatches."
These terse words of an official
,communique spelled the failure of
Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald
and President Eamon De Valera of
the Free State to reach in their con-
ference, any formula `for settling the
Anglo-Irish dispute and averting ec-
onomic warfare.
The conference, dramatically an-
nounced following the intervention
of William Norton, Irish Labor
Leader, lasted for three hours. No
progress was made toward breaking
the deadlock over the composition of
a tribunal to arbitrate the land annu-
ities dispute. President Eamon De
Valera returns to the Free State, less
than twenty-four hours after his ar-
rival here, while Prime Minister
Ramsay MacDonald flies to his Scot-
tish home at Lossiernouth.
High School Youth
Shows Great Speed
Hamilton — Has another Percy
Williams arrived to brighten Can-
ada's Olympic?
A fair-haired youth, with speed
enough at eighteen to beat most of
the great sprinters in the world, shot
down the 100 -metre stretch at the
Canadian Olympic trials here in re
cord-smashing time that even "- Wil-
liams has managed to equal only in-
frequently and to better but once.
• Young Bert Pearson of Hamilton,
unbeatable in the .high school track
'circles last year, was just as capable.
when he matched speed with all Can-
ada's sprinters except Williams, 1 -le
won the 100 -metre final in 10 2-5 se-
conds, .equalling the world record,
and lowering the Olympic mark.

her neck.
Ontario Gold Production Higher
Setting a new high record as a
wealth produced, Ontario's gold pro-
duction for the first half-year of '32
is almost $3,000,000 ahead of the
first six months of 1931, according
to a report of the. Department of
Mines.
The report states that the gold -
mining industry is now the greatest
single produced of wealth in the
Province. It notes that during June
another record of production, the to-
tal value being $4,179,045, as com-
pared with $4,079,045 for May.
Receipts of crude gold bullion at
the Royal Canadian Mint, Ottawa,
from Ontario mines during the
month, were 284,986 crude ounces,
containing 224,983.6 fine ounces of
gold and 27,705 fine ounces of silver.
In June, eighteen active gold prop-
erties reported prgduction to the On-
tario Department of Mines.
St. Lawrence Waterway Be-
tween Canada and United
States Completed
Listed below is an outline of the
power development and canalizing on
the St. Lawrence River.
The Project: Canalizing the St.
Lawrence River, making it navigable
for ocean steamships, which will be
able to proceed up to the head of the
Great Lakes. The canals will enable
ships of 27 -foot draught to pass
through. Allied with the canaliza-
tion is the great project of power
development. In the international
section of the river 2,200,000 horse-
power can be developed, Ontario and
New York State each obtaining half.
In the Quebec section of the river
3,000,000 horsepower can be develop-
ed.
The cost: between $500,000,000 and
$600,000,000 from which is deducted
the total o fthe Welland Canal cost
—$130,000,000—which has been ex-
pended. In
x-pended.In the apportionment of cost
Canada will receive credit for this
expenditure.
The Construction: 1. Compensa-
tion works and some further excava-
tion between Lake Erie and Lake
Huron,
2. Compensation works in the Ni-
agara River.
3. Excavation of reefs and points
in the Thousand Islands section of
the St. Lawrence River from Lake

Store Was Robbed
The store owned by Frank L.
Horning, William Street, was enter-
ed late Monday night or early Tues-
day morning and a quantity of gro-
ceries, tobacco, pop and other artic-
les were stolen.
The robbery was discovered early
Tuesday morning when Mr. Horning
opened the store. He immediately
notified the police and after the store
had been examined for any evidence
that was to be found, Provincial Of-
ficer Oldfield and Chief Wilson ar-
rested three young boys who had
been seen around the store at a late
hour, for alleged implication in the
theft.—Palmerston Spectator.
Pastor Leaving
Rev. H. J. Mahoney, who is just
conlniencing his second year as pas-
tor of the Mildmay United Church,
has been requested to take charge
of a congregation in British Colum-
bia, whose pastor recently met his
death by drowning, Mr. Mahoney
has consented to the transfer, and
will bring his pastorate here to a
close about the first of August. —

Porcupine Pays Price
The first porcupine to pay with
his life the price of its misconduct
itt ititerfering with poultry in these
parts, had its carcass brought into
town on Tuesday evening by its cap-
tor, prior to its cremation for deeds
of wrong while at large.
For the past fortnight Mr. John
Weber, who resides near the sand
hill on the 4th Con:, Brant, had been
missing numerous geese, ducks and
chickens from his premises, and al-
though a path leading from his poul-
try pen through a field suggested
that the trouble originated in that
direction, yet no definite clue could
be established against the marauder.
But the' collie dog took issue with
the porcupine' and killed it. Unfor-
tunately the dog also. died from in-
juries _received in the 'battle. --,Walk-
erton Herald -Times.
Lightning mills Cows
A peculiar accident and tin expen-
sive and inconvenient one happened
on the dairy farm of Mr. Chas. E
Elliott at the northeast end of the
town on Wednesday night . of last
week, when lightning killed five of
his dairy cows. The animals were
lying under an apple tree, quite near
the house, and the whole five were
killed with one bolt. The tree was
unharmed.—Clinton News -Record.
Thrown from -Meat Cart
—Badly Injured
Mr. Jack Garniss, in the employ of
Mr. J. L. MacMillan, local butcher,
was the victim of a strange and un-
fortunate mishap on Monday morn-
ing, which inflicted a nasty cut in
his head above the ear, and partially
stunned him to the extent that he
could not recall the happenings. He
is under medical care and is being
confined to his hone until any dan-
ger of concussion may have passed.
The meat cart which Mr. Garniss
was driving is a two -wheel vehicle
with a box in front and a platform
at the rear for the driver. At the
time of the accident he was driving
along on the cement pavement near
the south end of the village and was
in conversation with a party driving
along behind him. A, sudden turn on
the part of the horse threw Mr, Gar-
niss off the .cart and over the wheel,
which passed over him, after he had
struck his head a stunning blow on
the concrete.—Lauknow Sentinel.
Takes. Own Life in Water Trough
Levi Ross, aged about 45 years,
a well-known farmer of the Palmer-
ston district, was found dead shortly
after five o'clock Tuesday morning in
the horse trough near the barn at
the rear of his residence on the 12th
concession of Wallace township. Mr.
Ross had been in a state of despond-
ency for some time and had com-
plained of pains in his head.
The body was found by a brother,
who was proceeding to the barn to
commence the morning farm chores.
Iver. Ross was lying on his back with
his feet projecting over the end of
the trough. There was about a foot
and a half of water in the trough.
The body was clothed and had on a
pair of bedroom slippers instead of
shoes.—Listowel Banner.
Listowel -Atwood
Pavement Deferred
At a meeting of Perth county
council in Listowel a couple of
weeks ago, the members expressed
themselves as favorable to the con-
struction of a paved highway be-
tween Listowel and Atwood, on the
condition that the county's share of
the construction be deferred until
next year. A resolution to this ef-
fect was forwarded to the depart-
ment of public highways.,
Word was received here this week
that the department was not in favor
of this scheme, and it would appear
that the road will not be paved this
year. Listowel Banner.
Has Narrow Escape
From; Huron's Surf
Mr. Jack Gee, of Listowel, and his
churn, from Winnipeg, who is visit-
ing at the Gee cottage at Point
Clarke, had an experience Monday
afternoon that they may long re-
member, when their boat capsized in
heavy waters a mile or so from the
shore.
The boys „clung to their upturned
craft, which drifted shoreward by
the westerly wind and after an hour
or so in Lake Huron's rolling white-
caps, they landed, somewhat ex-
hausted and fatigued. It was a nar-
row escape for the boys who, we are
glad to report, are. none the worse
for their adventure.—Listowel Ban-
ner.
Eyes Badly Burned When
Lime Splashes Into Face
Mr. I. R. Carling met with a most
unfortunate accident Monday even-
ing when some lime splattered into
his face and entered both eyes. At
first it was thought he alight lose
the sight of one eye, but it is now
believed that the sight will be res-
tored to both. Mr. Carling was in
the act of slaking some lime in the
evening preparatory to having a
man do some whitewashing for him
the following day. He was carry-
ing a pail with the lime when the
handle slipped frim his grasp, and,
as he made a grab for it, lime was
splashed into his face, filling his
eyes.—Exeter Times -Advocate.
Lost Nearly Entire Herd
That out of a supposedly fine herd
of 41 Guernseys on the dairy farm.
of Mr. John Milhousen, Durham
Road East, on fewer than 35 milk-
ers should have been found infected
with tuberculosis in a more or less
pronounced degree, was the startling
discovery made by Government In-
spector Torrie, of Ottawa, on Satur-
day last, following a four days' test-
ing of the herd for T.B. infection
under the most approved and reli-
able methods. An animal infected in
the slightest degree will react to the
test by the gathering of pus in the
eyes or lumps on the tail' or both.
Some of the cows that so reacted
had been purchased and imported
from the States a few years ago at
a cost of over $500 apiece, and with
the weeding out of 35 of his herd
and despatching thein to the Abat-
toirs at Toronto for beef purposes,
Mr. Milhousen stands to lose up-
wards of $3500.—Walkerton Herald-
Tirnes.
Found No Market
A farmer from Stephen, last week
cleaned up .a load of oats and took
them to Exeter but found no market
and had to return with then. He
wonders now what. is going to be
done with the new crop. Another
roan from Hensall district came to
town looking for a price on broilors
and found no quotations, but the out-
look for the egg market is better,
buyers paying 14 cents. Young ducks
which it normal times would bring
20 to 25 cents per lb. are being
quoted at 9 to 11 cents. — Mitchell
Advocate.

Opening of Green
Contrary to the; general trend of
affairs on July 12th, is the "Open-
ing• of the Ci'een"; but Teeswater to
be contrary did just that on Tues.
day evening. The new Bowling
Lawn was in use for the first time
and a goodly number were on the
greens in play, and quite a nice
crowd were guests or sight-seeing.
Four greens were in play all even-
ings, mixed jitneys. The prizes went
to Mrs. O'Mara and Mr. Wm. Mann.
The ladies served lunch after play.—

Cyclist Makes Fast Time
Mr. Manuel Jasper of Hamilton,
who was a former well-known resi-
dent and county constable here,
wheeled to Mildmay last Friday,
making the trip of nearly 110 miles
in less than 9 hours. The former
law officer, although now in his 74th
year, is very much at home on his
bicycle, and rides with remarkable
ease and comfort. He expects to
spend a few weeks with relatives in
Carrick, Mildmay , Walkerton and
Teeswater, before returning to Ham-
ilton.—Mildmay Gazette.
Electric Railway
Bonds Discussed
Goderich—Mayor Lee and the fin-
ance committee of the town council
went to Kincardine to confer with
the Kincardine town council recently •
on matters pertaining; to the Ontario
and \Vast Shore Electric Railway.
The Ontario General Trust Corpora-
tion holds bonds of the -two munici-
palities to the value of $135,000, to
retire debentures guaranteed as they
fall due. There is a proposal afoot
to exchange these bonds for others
bearing a higher rate of interest, by
the favorable condition of the bond
market. The municipalities and the
Ontario Railway and Municipal
Board most give consent before the
exchange can be effected,
Over twenty-five years ago, the
Ontario West Shore Railway, from
Goclerich to Kincardine, was pro-
moted and four municipalities, God-
erich, Kincardine, Ashfield Township
in Huron County and Huron Town-
ship in Bruce guaranteed bonds to
the extent of $400,000; Goderich,
$150,000; Kincardine $75,000; Ash-
field $125,000, and Huron Township,
$50,000.

minutes, 20 seconds, with a figure
four scissors aria hold, The second
