Hill of Markdale And Took Envelopes With Money Russell Hill, driver of a truck for the Markdale Creamery, is a sadder and wiser man today after coming in- to contact with a Gypsy woman near Feversham. Quickness of thje hand deceiving the eye was particularly true in this case when the woman in question extracted several envelopes from among those he was carrying to his customers as cream payments while she was blessing the money he handed to her. Mr. Hill was in the vicinity of Fev- ersham when he was approached by a gaudily dressed woman, peculiar to the Gypsy race, and enquired if he wished his fortune told for the small sum of two-bits. This was done and 3nquiry was then made whether Mr Hill had more money and how much. The information given a suggestion was made that he allow her to bless the money he had, and good luck would follow him. The envelopes with small sums intended for the pat- •ons were handed over, she immediate- ly began to make some signs over it in order to show that she was com- pteting her end of the bargain, after which she handed the packages back to him. Some time later Mr. Hill found that some of the envelopes were missing and then realized that the woman had blessed the money i\oT her own use and kept part ol it for her trouble. Police were in- formed of the affair, but by that time the woman and her three companions were out of the country in an old car. It is stated that the party was last seen heading ^in the direction of Guelph, but were not apprehended This old trick of the Gypsy clan has been worked more than once and many have been swindled by a few words and fast work with the hands. Dr. J. D. Inkster To I Artemesia Taxes Lower Give Priceville Lecture TAXES AVERAGING $50 PAID BY CAR OWNERS Motor vehicle owners were taxed a total of $56,700,000 last year, accord- ing to an estimate cf the dominion (bureau of statistics. That means that every registered motor vehicle jyas taxed more than $50 on an aver- pge. And that doesn't include fines either. The province took in $21,126,271 as registration fees on vehicles and oper- ators and another $27,083,316 in gaso- line taxes. The dominion's share â- was $4,508,471 on import duties and excise taxes, $2,500,000 sales tax and $1,500,000 import duty on gasoline. There were 1,114,503 motor vehicles registered in the dominion during 1932, of which 945,564 were passenger automobiles, 1,530 motor buses, 157,- 090 trucks and 9,419 motorcycles. This Was a decrease of 7.2 per cent, ujjder previous year's registration. New Brunswick led the decrease with 17.8 per cent., Saskatchewan came next â- with 15.5 per cent, decrease. Canada ranked fourth in per capita ownership of motor vehicles, there be- ing one vehicle to every 9.4 persons. The United States led with a density of one motor vehicle to every 5.1 per- sons, Hawaii coming second and New Zealand third. Rock Mills Fowl Supper The Ladies' Aid of Rock Mills Bap- tist church are holding a fowl suppei on Tuesday evening, November 7th at the Rock Mills church. Suppet served from 6 to 8 p.m., after which a concert will be given. Admission: 30c and 20c. .J Average 28 Runs Per Game hi Playoff Series Kimberley and Dundalk have about made a record this year in the num- ber of runs scored per game in the play-off series of the Centre Grey League. The first game Kimberley won 16-17 and the next went to Dun- dalk 21-7, while the third game was a tie 12-12. The scores total 85 runs for the three games, or an average of over 28 runs per game. In these conti/its the players l»ave wielded mighty bats and have punished each pitcher unmercifully, and coupled with errors, the scores mounted. In most of the League games this year tht scores were high, the lowest being between Kimberley Und Flesherton with 9-6 and 8-6 in favor of Kimber- ley. Power For Homings Mills After being without electricity since last April, the citizens of Homing's Mills, expect to have lights again in about two weeks. The Hydro dis- continued their service last April when the village trustees and private customers refused to sign long-term contracts. Thomas R. Huoctable at the time agreed to instal a generat- ing plant on the Pine River near the vUlage and -supply energy at less.than Hydro rates. He now expects tc have his plant working within two weeks. â€"HAVE YOU RENEWED? In the Congregational church at Bolton, Conn., there will D« a wedd- ing for the first time in 38 years, and the minister himself will tie the groom. He probably got tired wait- ing for members of the congregation to make a move. I SALE AT DENSMORE'S General Store, CEYLON Our prices are right and so are the goods.

GRANITE AND TINWARE, FKOUR & FEED i •? » I Dr. John Gdhson Inkster, D.D., pas- tor of Knox church, Toronto, is to give an illustrated lecture at Price- ville on Thursday evening of this week, October 26th, in the Presbyter- ian church on the Holy Land. The event is in connection with the annu- al fowl supper which the church is holding that night, commencing at p.m. An interesting sketch of Dr. Ink- ster's life was given in the Toronto Star Weekly last week, as follows: Dr. Inkster came to Toronto from Victoria, B.C., where he built a new church, raised the menibei>ship from 300 to 1,300, and increased the rev- enue six-fold. He has merely doubled everything at Rnox church. Dr. Inkster was horn in the Falk- land Islands in 1867 â€" the year of Confederation. Afflicted with a roving spirit, he left home when he was fifteen and arrived in Hamilton four years later. He taught public school in Ontario for two years, and might be teaching yet if a friend had not induced him to enter the ministry. This marked the beginning of an eight-year education- al program, starting at Varsity and ending at New College, Edinburgh. Hi-3 college days were a mixture oi study, football and fun. To read a class sketch in the first edition ol Torontonensis, he must have been one of the university's brighter lights. After working hai'd to r.et an inter- eollegate rugby union, he was elected its first president. He is still on the athletic advisory board of his alma mater. While he was in Scotland, a Can- adian newspaper reported his death and a memorial service was held for him at Marmora, Ont. He knew nothing of this until he returned to Canada. In Montreal he startled a lady friend, but, like Mark Twain, convinced her that "the report of (his) death had been grossly exaggerated.'' The lady is now his wife. He has a number of carefully chos- en water colors, and has written one book. Six School Sections Do Niit Pay Trustees' Levy â€" Other Taxes Reduced ATTENDANCE AT RURAL SCHOOLS The county of Grey, whei-e Miss Agnes Macphail, M.P., formerly func- tioned as schoolma'am, surely must be ;he home of the traditional "little ••ed schoolhouse." It has 214 rural ungraded schools scattered over its somewhat broad expanse, and only one-third of these are attended by more than 20 pupils. One had an average attendance of three in the year covered by the current annual report of the department; two had four pupils attending, and three had an average of five. The county which represents the other extreme in the list â€" a high pro- portion of schools attended by 21 or more pupils â€" is Kent. It has 104 ungraded schools, and reported 94 with average attendance of more than a score. Hastings has the distinction of be- ing the only county with a one pupil school. There is also one district, Rainy River, which maintains a school for one student. Twelve counties and two districts have schools attend- ed by two scholars or less. No school in O-xford has a lower av- erage attendance than 10, though in the preceding year there was one rural school with six. Of this coun- ty's 88 rui-al ungraded schools, 53 had an average attendance of 21 or more. As might be expected, it is not possible to reduce the per capita cost of low-attendance schools to the same extent as others. While the aver- age cost per pupil for all rural schools of the province has been gradually brought down from $87.30 in 1923 to $62.08 in 1931, it is still $230.19 in schools attended by five or fewer pupils, as compared with $248.33 in 1923. One wizard at mathematics says that if Judas had started a trust fun.l with one dollar ind allowed the in- terest to a«cumulate it would now amount to $10,000,000,000,000,000,- 000,000,000â€" whatever that may be. One night at the theatre a rathei fried gentleman stood up in his seat right smack in. the middle of the play and said: "Is there a doctor in the house?" The actors faltered slight- ly, but the play bravely "went on,'' though it was a bit of a blow to those concerned. A moiiient later, the same gentleman, still standing, re- peated this (juostion.

This along with the general reductions in the county i-ate and township will make considerable reductions for the taxpayer this year. The School Sections that are fortun- ate in not having trustees' rates to pay this year are: S.S. No. 4, S.S. No. y, S.S. No. 13, S.S.. No. 15, A. and P. U^.S. No. 16, A. and G. and U.S.S.

Besides the reduc- tions as noted above the general pub- lic school rate sho'ws a slight reduc- tion from .0084 mills to .0068 mills in the $, while 4 rate of only .0005 mills was set for the high school this year. The township council ! g decreed that all taxes not paid L., Jecembei 15th will be charged two per cent interest until January 15th , 1934 when the usual five per cent, will be added to the bill. i Anniversary and I Fowl Supper ♦♦<^K~W"X~W~>«X~X~>«5><> Fowl Supper to be Given By Chalmer's Ladies' Aid The Chalmers Presbyterian church of Flesherton are having their anni- versary services next Sunday, Octobei 2i)th, at '-i p.m. and 7.30 p.m. Rev.

TIME FOR POULTRY Up to the present time poultry has not been in demand, but our local merchants inform us that with colder weather in sight they are prepared to handle dressed chickens at pi'iees that are in keeping with prices ot other meats; but so far there is no demand for geese. No doubt geese and turkeys will come into their own a little later. In order to get the highest prices poultry should be well finished and properly starved before killing, free from "pins" and care- fully dressed. Every year our far- mers derive a substantial revenue from the sale of poultry and this year we hope will not be an exception.
