An ancient pine sweeps the cabin roof with its branches and year by year lays a thick brown car- pet of fragrant needles before th-:; door-step. Grey lichen and mo^a fill the chincks between the logs and spaces around the door and window openings. On the roof a weather- beaten stove pipe juts out, securely anchored by heavy wire against the attacks of the elements. From tht shore a curving path leads past clumps of white birches to the en- trance. The door, a solid affair of hewn boards, is secured only by a rusty latch. Inside a stray beam ot sunshine lights the dim interior mak- ing visible a row of bunks, a stove, rough table, chair, shelves and other articles of simple woods carpentry construction. For many moons the squirrels and chipmunks have had the freedom of its shelter. Claw marks on the door post are in the nature of a visiting card left by Mr. Bear. Deer have Osprey Council The Osprey municipal council met in regular session at Feversham on Saturday, September 24, all the mem- bers were present with the Reeve, Mr. Taylor, in the chair.

For long it has been envel-ied" in the silence of the north woods, a qu'et hush made more notice- .able by being broken occasionally by the whirr of a partridge, the weird laugh of a loon on the nearby lake, or the plaintive calls of the whip- poor-wills as evening closes in. Hark! Far down the lake sounds the exhaust of an outboard motor, carrying to the invisible inhabitants of the point the message that the owner of the camp will shortly take possession and that the hunting season has arrived. The Flesherton contingent is al- ready planning for their vacations at their various camps and although hounds are barred from hunting this ye&T, they have hopes of securing their allotment.

The radio listener's protection against long-winded advertising har- angues is the movable dial. -An excursion boat out of Goderich wa.s sto:>ped on a recent Sunday by the Lord's Day Alliance, and this prompts the Godrich Star to com- ment on the anomalies of our laws; •'Sunday ice cream, if you take it away inside you, is legal; if you lake it away in a container, is il- legal. Sunday excursions if you go sorewhere are legal, but if you mere- ly go and come back they are il- legal. It is not legal to have liquor served at a banquet but it is legril to have it served in a bedroom in a hotel where the banquet is bei.ig held. It is not legal to drive a motor car more than 35 miles an hour yet hardly any driver ever thinks of confining his speed to 35 males an hour except when he is telling about it afterwards in court, and then it is always 35 miles an hour or under." A host of other instances might also have been add- ed to those quoted by our contemp- orary. It is illegal to buy "smokes"' in a drug store on Sunday, but you can go to any refreshment booth or hotel and get all you want. You can play golf anywhere on Sunday â€" and tennis in many centres â€" but you can't play baseball. You can obey the law by getting a driver's permit and yet be fined if you forget to carry the card with you. .And so on. Certainly, a lot could be done to make our laws more rational. â€" Walkerton Herald. We rather think our contemporary is in error about the illerality of play- ing baseball on Sunda-/. Our im- pression is that the law does not make Sunday games illegal if no ckarge is made for admission to wit- ness them and if the participants do net cause disturbance or noise that will be a nuisance to the general pub- lic. There i.s one other illegality that is made legal if connected for the benefit of a church â€" that is raffling. If a game of chance is indulged in at a church "fair," the participants are exempt from pros- ecution.

Sixteen horses were entered in the four races, the largest number to attend the Flesherton fair for years. In the second heat of the 2. If) trot or pace Derby Dan lowered the tra^k record to 2.10' i. W. W. Trimble acted as starter for the races, N. P. Mclntyre of Durham and J. A. Crowston of Markdale as judges and Mark Wilson and J. O. Dargavel of Flesherton as timers. The management of the fair are delighted with the co-operation of the citizens of Flesherton in staging the races and to all those who at- tended to swell the crowd. The fall fair is an asset to any municipality and acts as an incentive to raisers cf purebred stock to improve their strains by competition with the own- ers. While a person may be de- feated in winning tha majority of the prizes they m»jr come into their own the nort year and defeat their opposition. Both nights of the fair concerts were given in the town hall by the HolsteJn Dramatic Club with their play "Yimmy Yomson's Yob." The first night rain interfered with the rowd attending, but on Friday even- ing the hall was well filled. It was a fine play and the players took their respective parts well. so many outstanding cattle to choose from. Yorkshire and Tamworth classes in hogs were well filled with .Alfred Weppler of Pricevilie taking most jf the prizes in the former and Geo. Ross of Maxwell in the latter. Ex- sept for an ewe Iamb shown by T. S:t'd, Flesherton, Russell Ellis of Kimberlcy took all prizes in Oxford Down sheep and Wm. Heard secured all prizes in the Leicester class. Th- Shropshires were v>-on by Clilfonl Hutchinson. Very seldom has the E.ist Grey fair brought out sunh an excellent exhibit of plants and flowers as tho.^e which graced the hall this year. -Ml classes v,ere well fXled, many of them having from three to seven entries. The flowers were displayed at one end of the hali ana mar.y vases of cut flowers were displayed en the table reserved by fruit and domestic science. The beautiiui background of bloom seemed to bring out the fine qualities .f\ other ox- ! h'bits. The fruit and domestic science Lxhibits filled one of the centre tables and overflowed to the stands at the sides. â-  Vegetables and field roots v.-ere not a.s largo an exhibit as other years and ladies' work was just as numerous. In the hall Alf Down had an ex- hibit of radios and E. J. Bennett had an excellent display of furniture. AM. Down also showed a few of the row Ford v-8 and four cylinder mod- The poultry house this year also had more entries, with W. D. Connor and Mark Wilson of Durham winning j nvost of the .prizes. I .Aroftball game was played between I Bognor and Flosherton wi4.h the lal- Jter emerging with a 21 to U victory. This was a popular event for the I entertainment of the crowd. i A small midway entertained »he ?iowd, but the minature train was unable to operate owing Lo the fact j-ithat a part of the steam engine had broken. This would havs been a popular resort for the kiddies. Four horse races were held by the Flesherton Driving Club and each of .v.em were well fought.
