Increased production is largely a matter of improved and augmented herds, modern equipment, time and labor-saving machinery and better, all-round production facilities. All this, of course, costs money. But it is money which the Bank of Toronto may readily advapce to de- sirable applicants. If you plan to increase your out- fit and require a loan, you can do no better than to see the branch manager of the Bank of Toronto and discuss your problems with him.

Dundaik Beaten or Home ice in Rough Game 3-2 The Flesherton Hockey Club udd- ed one more victory to their string when they visited Uundalk rink (?) Ion Wednesday night last, und defeat- ed the home team in a real western contest by a 3â€"2 margin. •X%vas a bitter pill fov Dundaik, who have acquired the uncviable ren- } utation of being poor lostra, â- \ thing I w'iich all sporting clubs must learn. '"Tis a sportsman who can sniilj in I dcic::* and stand again another day." The locals outplayed, outskated, and outclassed the Shranirocks, ex- cept in goal, where Stephenson must be given tu-edit for saving them from a bad bearing. R. Boyd opened the scoring, when he stepped around the Dundaik defense, and picked tlie cor- ner. Dundulk were unable to reg- ister, and this seemed to have a grat- ing effect on their nerves. Cnc of theii' players picked up McTavish's stick, after it had been knocked out of his hand, and tossed it the leng'th I of the ice, in a childish outburst of temper. The merry battle raged al- ong, however, and no damage was done ,the period ending: Fleshertonâ€" 1 ; Dundaikâ€" 0. Matson opened the second period with a nice goal on a pass out from McTavish. Bradley came' back with one for Dundaik, but R. Boyd scored again putting the locals up 3 â€" 1. In clearing a shot, Akins was assaulted by a Dundaik player, who walloped him across the arms with 'his stick, and afterwards, in explaining, stated that you could do anything you wish- ed with a goal tender, if he had the puck in his .possession. This young man's ideas' of manners, and sports- manship are severely warped, and he is an object of sorrow to his ber- eaved friends and wellwishers. However Flesherton held the sour pickles in hand, and the period ended: Flesherton â€" 3; Dundaikâ€" 1. The final period found Dundaik staging a frantic attack, with Cec. Thompson turning in some fine rush- es, and displaying good hockey for Dundaik. The locals used the five man defense entirely, and protected their two goal lead to good effect. Three minutes before the game ended R. Boyd was injured, and when play was resumed the Dundaik timekeep- er forgot his duties, and with a ben- eficent eye let the time slide, in an effort to give Dundaik a chance to improve their position.

Advertise in The Advance Dundaik did not fulfil their en- gagement here on Friday night, giv- ing their reason aa ''unforscen cir- cumstances!!" The ''Little Rinkelites," scored their two goals when McTavish v/as "doing time," in the penalty box. Mills received a penally in the third period, and skated to the box, and immediately returned to the ice. His sense of time and other things must be limited. Joe Nicholson was used on the de- fense, and turned in a great game, rushing with telling effect, and being hard to "get around." Geo. Armstrong had his face laid open by one of his own team, necess- itating the doctor's needle to repair the damage done to his countenance. The local forward line are in great form, playing their positions perf- ectly, and use speedy combination. T. McDonald handled thhe bell with an impartial mien, and although the game was rough, no blame could be attached to a referee for that.

But the crow has his friends. Sen- ator McCoig and others took up the cudgels in his behalf. It was assert- ed that the crow is a very useful bird, particularly in keeping down the pes- tiferous corn-borer. Jack Miner says white leghorn hen.s would be more useful in this respect and accuses the crow of spreading hog cholera.
