CITIES AND 25.000 IN RLRAL RIDINGS BORN ACHESON â€" At Victoria Corners on Monday, Jan. 23rd, 1933, to Mr. and Mrs. Renfred Aeheson, a daugh- ter. Man in Chicago offered to pay a taxidriver with a couple of. gold teeth, but the taxi man did not bite. The redistribution bill to be intro- duced at the session of the legislature next month plans a reduction of 25 seat.s from the present 112, according to the draft drawn by the commiicee on redistribution. First reports plac- ed the reduction at 20 seats. Basis of representation will be 50,- 000 for city ridings (reducing Toron- to's representation from 15 to 13, or possibly 12 seats) and 25,000 for rur- al ridings, some of which are now as .ow as 15,000. In the last redistribu- tion, the basis generally was 20,000. While the reduction will mostly af- fect ruri ridings, the four Yorks will gain one seat. Toronto ridings men- tioned for abolition and absorption with others are Dovercourt, St. Pat- rick and Woodbine. One of the Wentworth's, probably north, represented by A. L. Shaver, C-onservative, may be joined w^ith a Hamilton riding. In London, where there are two seats, one of the two Middlesex seats may be taken into the city. Windsor and the two Essex ridings, and Ottawa,, where there are three seats, each will probably suffer a reduction of one seat. All these ridings are represented by Conser- vatives. A curiing rink came down from Markuaie t>n Saturday evening for a friendly game, but the local rink was victorious 10-7. The game was tied at thu eighth end and Flesherton made two poiiUs n* thz ninth and one at the tenth end. The rinks were composed of: MarkJaleâ€" H. Knott, Harold Board, Dr. McArthur and H. H. Lucas. Flesherton â€" J. Wright. M. Wilson, J. 0. Dargavel and G. B. Welton. On Monday evening two rinks vis- ited at Owen Sound but. lost both ;,'amea played. The rinks were: F. H. W. Hickling, G.

Annual Meeting Of St. John's Churcb Hoard of Steward.s Reduced To -\inc' -Membersâ€" Deticir On Year's Work 650 TONS OF APPLES The Clarksburk evaporator, owned and operated by Mr. Wm. Haines, closed down recently after a continu- ous run from the last week in Septem- ber. During that time it handled 650 tons of cull apples, which produced about six carloads of manufactured products, with about 40 tons of waste, which has been disposed of. There were 25 hands employed during the period of running. The dollars go further these days. Ours have gone so far that we've lost track of them completely.

A FORTUN.A.TE FIND Tattered Old Policy Discovered Trunk Proves ^'aluabIe Document The late Mr. A. B. Jamieson of California, a former Walkertonian, who recently passed away in the Sun â- set State, discovered some time ago a tattered document that had been forgotten for over fifty years in an old leather trunk in the attic of his home in Berkley. The document was a life insurance policy written with Canada Life on October 8, 1878, in Walkerton shortly before Mr. Jamieson went west to the gold camps. By sending back gold dust to Canada by the famous old Wells-Fargo Express, he kept de- posits on the policy for a few years. However, he kept moving from place to place in California and the com pany had no means of keeping in couch with him. -After sight pay- ments he neglected to make further rsmittanees and finally mislaid the policy. It was therefore, an agreeable sur- prise for him when he '.earned that rhis forgotten policy was worth S982 and that it was unnecessary for him to make payments on the unpaid premiums. â€" Walkerton Herald.

One of the chief points established was that high phos-! phate. high potash fertilizers have; given best results on alfalfa on both, light and heavy soils. With potatoes . the average increase from fertilizers! for the past four yeai-s has been 51.3 1 bushels per acre. In 1932 a 4-8-10 j fertilizer, at a cost of $7.S2 an acre, gave an increase of 57.8 bushels. The next highest increase was made with an 0-12-10 fertilizer. Gains with turnips were made at a cost from 3 to 4'j cents per bushel. Inter- esting data was also given concerning mangels, corn and other crops.
