THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 1927 Sending Money to Distant Points Ycu can send any amount of mon- ey to any point in Canada at a mini- mum of expence by using a Standard Bank Money Order. This method is the simplest, safest and moit con- enier.t way to send remittances by mail in the Dominion; if the mail gos astray no loss is t^ustained. Should you desire to send money to a point outside the country, a Stand- ard Bank Draft will serve your pur- pose for forwarding money to 'â€" - eign places. STANDARD BANK OP CAJNAJIiA.

The loss is estim- ated to be $20,000 on buildings, $15,- 000 on machinery and about $2,000 on wheat and grain in storage at the time of fire. The loss is partly cov- ered by insurance. Since the big fire of 1924, which sr.eiled the end of the manufacture of the famous Roy Roy oatmeal products the elevator had been used as a grain storage and a certain acount of chop- ping had been done, mostly feed pro- ducts for export. The mill had been running all day Monday and Tuesday, and when the plant was closed shortly p fter 6 o'clock Tuesday night, noth- ing apparently was wrong. Up to shortly after 8 o'clock the mill was much as usual and following the game of Softball at the high school grounds approximately two hundred fans had passed the plant on the road down town and nothing unusual was noticed. They had scarcely reached the cor- and one was fined ;?100 and costs for ner, however,- before smoke was seen from the basement, and The mails clese at Flesberton as j-plate of residence.

Mr. Ckude Akins, mother and sis- ter of Thorold, Mrs. Laplan and truck and fire engine, nothing could be done but pour on water and protect the surrounding buildings. The building was completely con- sumed, though it took the greater part of the night before the heavy floor timbers were burned through and members of the fire department were on duty until all danger from flying sparks was past. We have no authentic information at present, but understand that there is little chance that the building will be re- olaced, as the cost of construction is too high in comparison with ihe mon- etary returns. â€" Durham Chronicle.

HORSE JUDGING CLASS A class is being formed in town for the purpose or educating the young men how to clasify and judge the various types of horses, as to confor- , mation and soundness. The first class was held Monday evening on General Purpose Horses with five horses in the class to be judged, and coni^iderable interest was manifest. It is the in- tention to hold meetings from time to time and have different classes of horses each meeting. ; T-he class is in charge of Mr. T. W. Findlay, who has been a government judge on horses for some years, and he would like to see some of the young men qualify for the Grey County Judging team. It is Mr. Findlay's '• intention to offer prizes at the Fall Fair for members of this class, in judging some different classes before the Judge finally places them. Then he has written to the Department to ' give him a fair to judge within mot- oring distance from Flesherton and any members of the class can go along and be in the ring with him to pick up all the information they can. This class is open to any young man who feels he could ham something more about classifying and judging of horses. Those desiring to at- tend the next meeting are requested to phone Mr. Findlay as to the time to attend.

ARMSTRONG & SON JEWELLERS Flesherton, Ont. ROAD WORK WAS STOPPED \ Work was begune last week on the Meaford to Markdale County-Prov- incial highway, the start being made on the stretch west of Meaford con- necting with the nineth line. Ex-Reeve White of St. Vincent was in control of this working outfit. On Saturday last Mr. White received instructions from the county road and bridge com- mittee through Johnston to cease op- erations, but not to leave the road in dangerous condition. This order came as a bolt from the blue. Many guess- es were given to the cause. After some investigations the Editor of this paper discovered that an influential delegation had gone to Toronto and secured authority to have the order carried out. At least the delegation claims to have secured that authority. Just what the next move in the chequered career of this piece ot road will be remained to be seen, and we await it with much curiosity. Fanny Flappers says that the only shy girls nowadays are those shy on clothes.
