They thought the wastage of ships during the wa( was eo great that the nation which won out in the race to restore a mercantile marine would capture world trade. The Uni- ted States won the arce and is now burning wooden ships that cost over a billion duUarg. Thus has the wisdom of statesmen and industrial captains been dumfounded. â- <r**»t.'*'W «f tKe sertet'^deilini^ %vitK tWe MtaUishnehtoPtK^ Sahk or MVoNTREAL «t reprctenUttve points in Cakaia' and elsewhere IN PARIS -^^"^-â- *-*tel!l'illlli|iili''''l"lll]Ji TOOK THE GEESE BUT PAID UP LATER Several young men of Flesherton and Markdale had a whale of a time recently, which embraced the capture of four geese from a farmer's barn- yard on the east back line, a stalled car on the road and u goose roast in Markdale, also a shelling out of eight dollars to reimburse the farmer for his losK. The geese were taken from Mr. W. Foster's goosery, and carried to Mark- dale where some ladies prepared them for the goosefest. There was, however, too much goose for one "fcst" and a trip to Irish Lake was arranged to pick the bones at a pic- nic there. A Flesherton car with the local revellers got stalled for want of gas and the occupants had to phone to Markdale for four gallons of engine feed. Later on a Markdale employer of some of the young men discovered what a lot of fun the young men had been indulging in and advised them to go to the farmer whom they had despoiled and settle up. This they found it advisable to do, although the loser of the geese had not learned who the culprits were. They were let off quite lightly with two dollars apiece for the geese. Now everyone of the young men engaged in this nefarious piece of fun feels exactly like the birds they demolished and have been examining themsevles for pin feathers. I HE PARIS subsidiary of the Bank of Montreal ^ IS situated in a quarter nch in historic interest From a lofty column in Place Vendotne die statue of , Napoleon loolu out upon an imposuig square the conscruaion of which began in :686 under authority of , Louis XIV. â€" a square which has witnessed many of the dry's greatest demonstrations and which now niirrors the social and business life of Paris. Here, in the heart of the capital of France, the Bank of Montreal in 1919 established a subsidiary office m the Rit2 Hotel Building. In February, 1922, the busmess of this oflice had become so extensive that enlarged quarters were opened near by at No. 6 Pbce Vendome. BANK OF MONTREAL Established over ICO years TotaX Assets in excess oC i650.000.000 CHILD'S ARM AMPUTATED A most distressing accident happ- ened on the eighth line about one mile north of Duntroon when little Ruth Swalm, eight year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Swalm, suffer- ed a compound fracture of the right arm, by falling off a horse on which she was riding. Complications quick- ly followed which necessitated the amputation of her arm to save her life. The operation was performed in Collingwood G. M. hospital. The report of the accident is some- what vague, but it is said that with some other little girls she was play- ing on the road, and .seeing a neigh- bors horses in an adjoining field two of the little girls caught a horse and managed to get on its back. The horse probably tbok up speed throw- ing the girls off with the above un- forunate result. â€" Creemore Star. Were Not Hen Eggs An ingenious way of "getting around a prize list in the way of se- curing prieea was shown at Flesher- ton fair last week in the class for the largest eggs. It had been the cus- tom just to use common hen eggs to prove whose were the largest, but Mrs. Frank Cairns of Ceylon struck a brilliant idea when she used duck eggs in place of the hen eggs and thereby captured first prize for the largest eggs. There was nothing in the prize list to show that any special kind of eggs were to be used. One gentleman on observing the large "hen" eggs remarked that he was going right back home and take the heads off his chickens if they couldn't lay as large an egg as those shown. Great was the relief, however, when the true nature of the eggs were found out. It isn't likey that the contestants will be left behind by the same trick again next year and the ducks will have to work overtime to supply the demand. OFFICERS ELECTED FOR Y. P.

A CORRECTION Owing to a mistake at our fair last week Mr T. W. Findlay was credited wtih having won first prize on his own Special for a pair of fowl hatched from eggs purchased from him. Mr. Findlay did not have his jpen entered for this prize and it was an error of the judge to have taken them into this competij^ion. The mistake is made and to make it right the pen takeing second will get first ^nd Mr. Findlay has offered to give all the other exhibitors one setting fit eggs free next spring. This com- petition will be offered again next fall to those purchasing eggs from him. Chief of Police Dickson of Toronto believes 20 miles, an hour is entirely too much for a speed limit in that city. But the chief will hardly urge that they have exceeded that figure in getting Toronto's new union sta- tion into operation. Moldy Creamery Butter. Where cream has been pasteurized, moldlness of butter Is almost always due to surface contaminations which take place after the butter has been removed from the churn. The air during the summer Is always a po- tential source of Infection, loaded as It Is, depending on the surroundings, with a larger or smaller number of mold spores. Untreated or Ineffi- ciently treated print wrappers and box liners are frequently the cause. Infection has also been traced In some cases to the unparafflned aud untreated wood of the boxes In v/hich Uie butter prints are stored. Walls And ceilings of the box storage space above some creameries, due to the warm and moist conditions which pre- vail during the summer, are fre- quently green with molds, from which crop after crop of ripened spores becomes scattered around. Until such time as buttermakers take complete and thorough steps to destroy mold spores, which otherwise would come In close contact with but- ter surfaces, moldiness of butter will continue to occur. â€" D.
