Flesherton was not in the South Grey inspectorate until this fall and -.;o at the time of examinations last June, was in the East Grey inspec- torate under S. A. Morrison. Dr. David Jr-micson'a medal iu given to the pupil receiving the hJfehest marks on the high school entrance examination in the constituency or riding of South Grey, which includes considerable bc- sidw the inspectorate. The pupils of Flesherton have always been elig- ibl to compete for this medal and this year it was won by Miw Betty Murray. The article we referred to last week stated Miss Alice Cutt- ing received the highest marks in TO BE ABANDONED Too many escapes have caused the French Government to decide definite- ly to abandon the Devil's Island penal colony on the coast of Guiana and to look about for another place of con- finement where the prisoners will be more secure. To the world in general fed with the fiction that a -sentence to the colony was in reality a sentence to a living death, this news will come as a considerable surprise, for if ever a penal institute has been established in the mind of the public as an ines- capable pit of hopelessness and de- spair, it has been this self-same French institution on the coast of South America. Devil's Island it- self is only one small part of the penal colony. Its name came to bt attached to the whole largely becaust of the prominence it gained through the Dreyfus case. The penal colony however, embraces not only Devil's- Island and its two companions islet included m the lies du Salut, St Joseph Island and lie Royale, three tiny dots rising from the sea some twenty-seven miles north of Cayenne the capital, but has its main divisions on the mainland itself, at Cayenne and at St. Laurent. It is not from Devil's Inland and its two companion islands that any ap preciable number of escapes are madt which have caused the French to look about for another, surer location for their penal colony, although escapt from the isles is by no mean-.i im- possible. Rather it has been from the mainland prisons. If a prisoner has friends or a family that will finance him to the extent of $500 American money only the lack of an ordinary degree of prudence and the ability to paddle a fair-sized canoe over a portion of the moat placid area of the whole Atlantic Ocean can pre- vent him from reaching Venezuela and freedom. through one of the most interesting and exciting of .political battles In the history of that municipality. Nearly 300 more electors voted at the election on Monday than in any year. John Stephen of headed the poll this year with 524 votes, Mr. Taylor comin R next with 514 and Mr. Shortt with 503. Mr. Shortt won from Mr. Tay- lor last year by 19 votes and Mr. Tay- lor turned the tables this year with 11 votes. R. J. 'Morrison of last year's council attempted to cnnture the chair of Deputy-Reeve, but failed, as did John Grummett, the fight being between Wm. Heitman, Deputy-Reeve last year and John Lockhart. Thos. Beatty and .John Stephen, two prom- inent citizens are the new faces at the council board with Albert Wilton the inspectorate of South Grey last June and this is correct. Mis-j Cutt- j *15. Representation was fairly well spread over the township, although the nortern half has the most mem- bers elected. Mr. Taylor had a majority of five of the eight polls and also won the election in his home poll. Mr. Shortt secured 8 votes at Singhampton last year and the same 8 people voted for him again, But Mr. Taylor boosted His vote there from 107 to 132 to win the election It appears as though the change of voting back to the old time has worked out for the best, as there has been heavy storms the past several years on the first Monday in Decem- ber. This year the day was fine and mild and the workers brought out the largest vote in the history of the township. Little Child Died Death came very suddenly to Laura May, five months' old daughter of Mr and Mrs. Wm. Flynn of Ceylon. When the parents arose in the morning the little one was discovered to be dead in the bed beside them. An examin- ation was made by the coroner and it was found that only one half of th t e heart was working causing the baby to be in poor health since birth. In- terment took place in Salem cemetery in Proton township, Rev. Bartlett having charge of the service. Built Snow Car A new snow car has just been built for Dr. J. E. Fraser of Port Elgin by Mr. Alfred Down of town in his garage here. It is a compact little machine made from, a new model "A' chassis, and is being tried out at present by Mr. Down. MARKET FOR BARLEY IN BACON AND BEE* There is practically no limit to the production of barley in Canada and recent tests show that it produces better bacon and beef than other grains. It is proving fully the equal of corn when fed with suitable sup- plements in the form of home-grown leguminous roughages. Barley can be used in almost any proportion of the grain ration up to one hundred per cent. As a hog feed it develops an entirely satisfactory class of bac- on, which is more than can be said for corn feed in equal proportions-, and as a feed for beef cattle 'barle> is undoubtedly one of the best of oui Canadian grown coarse grains. The increased rsed of barley and othei coarse grains at their present low levels will malte for isnuch better quality in the beef being marketed and this in turn will help create a demand for more beef. Keep Mangers Clean An inspection of the mangers of stables when cow.i are not doing well might go a long way toward finding out the cause of trouble. Sanitation in mangers and the drinking supply is in many cases very poor. When cows don't drink as much water at they should, or leave a certain amount of meal in the bottom of the mangera, the trouble may generally be laid to the door of poor sanitation. An in- spection of mangers and drinking cups would probably show that the cups ,had beco.ne fouled with chaff an:l spoiled silage, and when left for cvi'n a dnv the wator is filthy. It is reasonable that cows will not drink freely of water. Anywhere from a quarter of an i>;ch of hard accumul- ated filth can sometimes be scraped out of the manger. It has a stench which makes the animal quit eating long before it has had enough. Drink- ing bowls and mangers ahoi'ld be kept clean if the cattle arc to flourish. For his services in bringing a chick- en thief to justice, Mr. Henderson of Gtoelph Township will receive from tho Wellington County a reward of Thought Santa Claus Stole Her Doll An amusing incident of the Christ- mas season is reported from Oshawa. A six year old girl went into a store where Santa was presiding in the toy department, and she accused him of stealing her new doll. It seems that the little girl, in look- ing around her own home, came across a beautiful new doll, still in its box. She was overjoyed and took it to -show her mother. The mother was not quite so pleased at the discovery and scold ed the daughter for looking in places where she shouldn't and told her that Santa Claus would come and take tht Hoi' away. The doll disappeared and when the little girl saw a doll just the eame on tho toy counter of the store, and Santa sitting nearby, she went right to him ajid accused him of the theft. Santa is said to have been a bit astonished but the mother made a whispered ex- planation. Fergus News-Record. BROOD SOW POLICY The Brood Sow Policy introduced by the Federal Department just one year ago has resulted in 1977 brooc sows being placed with farmers at a total cost to the Department oi $17,323.88, or $8.76 each. Under this policy any farmer may order a select bacon type sow and when th e initial deposit is received by the official of the Department the sow is purchased on the stockyards at the i'urrent markfet prk|. It is then fed and bred free of charge and one-half the freight to the purchas- er's nearest railway station is paid by the Department. "I still love him," declares a Hart- ford wife who put two bullets through her husband. It is to be hoped that she can be persuaded not to offer any additional proofs of hfr passion. TESTING COWS PAYS The Peel County Cow Testing As- sociation is gaining in favor with milk and cream producers to enable them to cull their flocks on production of butterfat and milk as determined by milk tests each month for the en- tire year. Interesting figures have been compiled to show the growth in recent years and the value of these tests. The number of herds increased from 32 to 58 in the period 1929-31, while the number of cows On test monthly increased from 494 to 7G6. A comparison of high and low herds showed a high herd of eight cows having 10,332 Ibs. of milk and 380.56 Ibs. butterfat and a low herd 6.325 Ibs. milk and 234.46 Ibs. of butterfat, representing a difference of 4,007 Ibs. of milk and 146.10 butterfat. Chicken thieves are again working in Dufferin county. What's New in the New CHEVROLET Buy your Flour and Feeds from the Opr*y Farmers' Milling Co.

THE SEED CROP The movement of clovers and seeds continues to be below the average for the season. Ordinarily export demand has relieved the do- mestic market of much larger quan- tities this year. The production In 1931 plus the carryover from 1930 constitute.-, a very much larger sup- ply than the domestic market It likely to require this season, and this coupled with limited exports has resulted in fewer offers to growers and very low prices as compared with other years. Estimates of produc- tion in 1931 and supplies in sight show substantial surpluses of red clover, al.fike, alfalfa, sweet clover and blue grass. Timothy is in bet- ter domestic demand than some of the other seeds owing to insufficient production to meet domestic require- ments. There is virtually no mar- ket at present for alfalfa, al-.ukc ami sweet clover in Ontario where the larpewt quantity is grown vonimerc ially in Canada. The following per centaffo of seeds produced in Ontario is reported sold: Red clover, 5; tim- othy, 2; Canadian blue grass, 50. Tht number of pounds unsold w estimat- ed: Rod clover, 775,000; alfalfa, 3,- 000,000; alsike, 1,150,000; sweet clov. cr, 1,000,000; timothy, 24,OpO; Canad- ian blue grass, 400,000. The LOTTOS!

POTATOES FOR POULTRY Farming increases in value as ar occupation just in proportion to thp xtent to which incidental by-products can be marketed at a profit. Not only must the farmer sell his good quality product-* at a fair pri*e, but lie must also find a market for as much as he can of the unsaleable pro- duct. It has been found that creator net profits per bird can be made and a finished bird of finer quality and flavor produced through crate-feed- ing on a ration of equal parts oi middlings, rolled oats, boiled potatoes nnd skim milk than ii the case whoro cornmoal is fed.
