THURSTON. • Editor ABTEMESIA HAS SUGAR KING The Meaford Express has a v^ong conception, which it voices in its last issue when it says that Robt. Almond, 4th line, St. Vincent, ia the maple sugar kinjr of Grey county, as he has eleven hundred trees tapped to brii\g forth the confined sweets. Mr. Walter Al;itt of Rock Mills has eighteen hundred tieea tapped and has one of the finest evaporators man- ufactured. His maple syrup is na- tionally known as it has graced the feative board of His Majesty, George v., at Balmoral castle in Scotland. We beliovo that Mr. Akitt can easily be called the Maple King of Grey) county, and not Mr. Almond, as the Express believes. 25 Years Ago From fyles of March 20, 1902.

EDiTORIAL NOTES The wisdom of Britain's interven- tion in Chinese af lairs to protect Bri- tish citizens and investments in Shanghai, has been bro'jght to the public notice by the Chine.se attacks on the foreinn concessions of that city. The wisdom of such action is now apparent and the opposition of the movement can now see the light. • • * The using of names on C.N.R. sleep- ing cars of stations on that system is but following in the footsteps of the Canadian Pacifif, which has been practising this .system for years. It is interesting to know that there is a sleeping car on the C. P. R. named Flesherton, after this station. This car has been running for some years. • * • During the past week at certain times the air resounded with the shrill honk of the Canada (toose on Its an- nual trek to the feeding and breeding grounds of the mrth. At lea.^t two flocks passed cuite low over the vil- lage. However, on Sunday a storm arrived and covered the ground with a mantle of snow, and the ground froze hard, fine spring weather being delayed somewhat. • • • Rcently we received a questionaire from an advertising agency Hi to our accepting liquor advertising for this paper. Our reply was nay, but as it happens, Premier Fergifaon in his speeches intimates that no advertising of liquors will be allowed in any form. We presume that this prohibition includes newspapers, posters, circu- lara, and so lorth. The Mt. Forest ''Confederate - Representative says: ."Bat what a sweeping condemnation this ia of the inherent evil that is seeking public favor! A business that is forbidden the right of publicity because of its nature, cannot be much 9t m business." • • • The exponents of public ownership nwl for the preservation of provincial righta are fighting hard the proposed rtnewal of the hearter of the Mon- Iml, Ottawa and Georgian Bay Co. (or the riffhts to build a canal on that root*. The charter has been in exist- •eniM for 38 years and no work of anjr account has been commenced â- a jrtt. The bill is being ushered through as a private measure, but it is a significant fact that the Liberal GoYcmment is remaining silent Un this Inportant matter, which leads one 16 balicrs that it is a government bill. jlhara are arrest possibilities of power (levalopment alonR this route for which the Sifton interests are fight- liit hard to grab. It would be a fine phm (or them to chew at thir time, when power is in demand, « iJ the grab for provincial resources through htrliament should be highly con- dtmnad. 20 Years Ago From Fyles of March 21, 1907.

The audience, seeing a dog rush up to the stage during an amateur play at Tara, thought the dog was taking part in the play. The Late Mrs. G. Moore LAD'S REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM DROWNING AT CARGILL Cargill, March 20 â€" Lome Weber, 7-year-old son of E. J. Weber, hard- ware merchant, backed himself, on his tricycle, into the millrace here on Saturday afternoon and was whirled like a chip into a 150-foot concrete tunnel containing water to the depth of six feet or more. Eight minutes elapsed frnm the time the boy disappeared until he emerged from the far end ol' the tunnel. He was unconscious when removed from the water, 'bi^t regained conscious ness in a short while and will live. His escape from death is considered nothin.u: short of miraculous, Prompt action on the part of his twin brother, Lloyd, in sounding an alarm undoubtedly saved the lad's life. Had he not been taken from the water the instant he emerged from the tunnel, he would have been car- ried down the Teeswatcr River. Resuscitation revealed that his lungs had taken in no water. The belief is that he fainted from fright the moment his tricycle took the plunge, and that in his unconscious condition he was enabled to float through with- out jinking. USE CASH DISCOUNT BONDS AND SAVE MONEY on All Cash Purchases You Make WE GIVE YOU CASH DISCOUNT BONDS There passed away at her home on |the Toronto Highway on Tuesday mor- ning of last week, about six o'clock lone of the oldest and most respected I pioneei i of Grey County in the person of Mrs. George Moore, formerly Margaret Henderson. Though not exactly ill she has been failing since Christmas and the end was not un- expected. As she was born on an August .Sunday morning in the year 1847 in Bellimaney Co. of Antrim, Ireland, in a house next to the chnrch, as the bells were ringing the hour of worship is probably the reason why she always loved to be in the house of the Lord, and her name was always associatetl iwith His work. Many are the kindly I and neighborly acts remembered tt I her credit. She has been a life long i member of Inistioge chu).':h, even since before this building was erected. I She was Sunday school teacher for years, both at Inistioge and else- where. She came to Canada with her par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. David Hender- son, when dhe was eight years old, settling first in Toronto and Mark- ham and later moving up to the bush. Mrs. Moore lived for a number of years with the Rev. and Mrs. Josiah Green, the pioneer minister of Grey County, from whose home at Chata- worth she was married on the eighth of March, 1871, to the late George Moore, who predeceased her four S yeafs next June. Just fifty-six years ago, two days before her death, she came as a bride to the farm on which she died. She leaves to mourn her loss one sister, Mrs. Thos. Arnold, of Mount Albert; Wm. Henderson of Los Ang- eles, Samuel Henderson of Toronto; three daughters and three sons, Mrs. Robt. Acheson, Proton Station, Mrs. Claude Akins, Flesherton, Mrs. Wm. Talbot, Dundalk, William on the Gravel Road, Robert of Newbury, and {Charles at home. The pallbearers jwere (he three sons-in-law, Robt. i Acheson, Claude Akins, Wm. Ludlow, I also Milton Bannon, George Ludlow land Albert Stinson. Six of the old (neighbors bore the flowers to the I grave, namely, Jas. Lockhart, H. H. Gallagher, Jas. Laidlaw, Wm. Ache- son, Carl Atkinson and Thos. Bannon. , Read The Advance "Small Advts." MARSHES FOR FUR FARMS Negotiations between the Saskat- j chewan an<J the Dominion Govern- j ments regarding the leasing of marsh { lands for fur farming purposes, have now been completed, and arrange- ments are being made to turn over certain crown lands for this industry, Hon. Mr. Hamilton, Provincial Min- ister of Agriculture, announces. Large areas of marsh lands con- trolled by the crown are available for fur farming in the northern part of Saskatchewan, and there is reported to be a moderate demand for such land.
