Mrs Avery and her three children were visiting at the home of her father William Hardy, concession 10, Hurci. Township. In the course of the day the child went out to play in tht barnyard as had been his custom. He was by himself when one of the hor ses on the farm dashed around the corner of the barn and kicked the lad. Dr. D. Finlayson of Ripley, was calle<l but nothing could be done.

Federal Farm Loan Act Was Again Discussed In a further discussion on the Fed- eral Farm Loan Act, several members emphasized the need of connecting the Debt Arrangement Act with it. That is, when the farmer has reached a settlement wth his creditors through the good offices of the Offic- ial Receiver, the farmer oujht to be able to borrow sufficient money to meet his obligation under the Farm Loan Act. having the opportunity to retire the debt over a long period of years at moderate rates of interest. It looks at the moment as though the Federal Board will charge S'j per cent with the Province of Ontario I^aying 1 per cent of this, leaving the farmer an interest charge of 4% per cent A French-Canadian Liberal member Mr. Bertrand of Prescott, stated the case thus: "It is absolutely necessary to amend the Farm Loan Act so that when a farmer makes a reasonable offer to the Receiver, the latter inay have the power to instruct the Dom- inion Board to lend the necessary amount to facilitate the arrange- ment." Mr. Bertrand commented upon the Finance Minister's state- ment that at this time no such ar- rangement can ba made and strongly urged that if the financially embar- rassed farmer is to be allowed to re- main on the land, that a long term loan at low rates of irtterest is im- pe-.tive. "It would be better to have the rate of interest made low enough to enable the farmer to keep his land and when better times comes he would continue to nay his debts. In that way the lender would not lose his claim and especially the legend would not grow that we, in this country, do not pay our debts." He continued: "Our farmers still wish to pay their debts. It is con- sidered in certain quarters that this Arrangement Act allows farmers to go bankrupt in the same way as other classes who have, in the past, caused losses to the people by selling them worthless securities and have then escaped their obligations by going bankrupt. If we allow our people to get the idea that the farmer also may have recourse to bankruptcy, I say quite frankly, that we will never again have settlers like those of old. who have contributed so greatly to our wealth." At the close of the debate on this particular point, which has been in- troduced by Mr. E. J. Garland, the Minister of Finance, Mr. Rhodes, said that it might be possible to arrange to have the Farm Loan Board act in conjunction with the Debt Arrange- ment .Act, but warned that individual or company creditors must not regard it as a reservoir from which can be bailed out the debts of farmers to their creditors. Will Celebrate July IZth In Flesherton Friday July the I2th will be a big day in Flesherton this year when tht County of East Grey will hold theii annual celebration. Besides the large number of Lodges in East Grey man\ from South Grey and North Grey'| have already stated that they will be present for the big event. Invi- tations will be sent out to all Lodges in these three Counties to celebrate in Flesherton this year. The de- cision to come to Flesherton as a County was made at the annual coun- ty meet held at Dundalk on Tuesday of last week, when there was a S'wd attendance of members. It was also decided to hold the semi-annual meet- ing in June at Flesherton and the annual meeting at Maxwell next Feb- ruary. The following officers were elected and installed by Herb Corbett of Proton Station: P. C. M. â€" Jas. McKenzie. C. M. â€" W. J. AVellwood. D. C. M. â€" Ernest Acheson, Proton. Chaplain â€" J. J.

Lect. â€" Ernest Stinson, Proton Marshall â€" Arthur Jackson, Inis- tioge. Committee â€" County Master and each District Master. The tedium of debate was relieved by Mr. Heaps' (Labor, .Winnipeg) ,<tory of his experiences with Crim- inal Law. He and four others were on trial after the Winnipeg strike. The other four were defended by learned counsel, while Mr. Heaps pleaded his o^vT^ case. The foui were convicted and Mr. Heaps walked oi;'; of court a free man. A few days later Mr. Heaps met the Judge on the street. "It s a good thing you de- fended yourself. Heaps." the Judge said, "or .vou would now bo doing lime with the rest." And Mr. Heaps told the House that his respect for lawyers has uevLH- been quite as great since. A member of the governing party, Mr. Harris of Toronto, asked the House, by way of resolution, to ap- prove of the operation of the Trade Treaties and a rather lengthy debate ensu'od. The government members of course, defended the operation of the treaties and the Liberals criticised their protectionist aspect.

All games were of last week. The case occupied a- bout ten hours owing to the largt number of witnesses heard. The high i lights of the case are as follows : Early last summer Joseph Radley ol played in good time and the entire bonspiel was a real success.

VVoodsworth and I have spoken from the Independent section of the House so far, and we took the position that -i vote of confidence in the Govern- ment, moved by a Government sup- porter. v.-a,5 a most extraordinai-y thing; and further, that sucti pre- cedent should not be established. As a protest against such tactics we proposed to vote against it. ".Are we to be compelled in this House to go' on over and over again threshing the old straw of three years ago." Mr Woodsworth asked. The resolution asks us to say whether or not the operation of the trade treaties has been beneficial tc Can:ida. I stated. "I doubt very much whether anyone can answei that question. I think it is very much too soon to know. There are many factors which we cannot weigh for a considerable time yet. If the temporary gains that have been made in hog prices â€" and I am inclined to think that the agreement had some eiiix't on Vhepe prices â€" ^have been secured at the cost of dissatisfaction in Britain, then it seems we are pay- ing very dearly for temporary gains. If by the treaties we have added to the cost of those things which wc purchase from Great B.j.uain, we have possibly eaten up more than al! the benefits that would accrue." I further pointed out that in all probability the Canadian manufac- turer was being protected at the ex- pense of the Canadian consumer and the British manufarturer, and recalled to the Government their refusal in 1932 to take such action in regard to Canadian money as would have made the use of the British market possible. When farm prices were at their low- est level the government refused to depreciate Canadian currency, at least until it reached a parity with the pound, and waited until the Unit- ed States moved in monetary matters. Then, too, the loss of other market? occasioned by the high tariffs ar- ound the Empire, cannot be measureo yet. In closing I ventured the opin- ion that world trade was unlikely to i-each the volume of 1929, due to the striving for self-sufficiency of ,all nations, and the lack of money to ef- I was very glad to see on the front jjage of the Ottawa Citizen, this morning, (the following statement: ".Vgnes McPhail, (Progressive Grey Southeast) la.<t night made an ex- planation of a statement made somt time ago, that people were kept wait- quarter east of Flesherton, placed a drove of young cattle to pasture on the property of Mr. R. Meggitt. -About the same time Mr. Dane McGee ol Vandeleur placed a number of cattle to pasture on the property of Mr. Sam Fitzsimmons of the Meaford Road. In September two steers be- longing to Mr. McGee were missed from his herd. He visited the herd belonging to Mr. Radley and claimed [ Brackenbury that he found the missing steei-b ' there. He proceeded to take the steers back to the Fitzsimmons pas- ture. The two steers found theii way back to the Radley herd and were again removed by Mr. McGee Then Mr. Radley missed two steers and went searching for his animals. He found them in Mr. McGee's stable and proceeded to issue a writ oj replevin to recover them. This wag served by John Wright of Flesherton and the steers removed to Mr. Rad- ley's premises, where they have been ever since. Mr. McGee sued to re- cover the value of the animals. The strange facts surrounding this case were that both claimants de scribed the steer in exactly the same terms of identification. Both ani- mals had been dehorned by the alleg- ed owners and both claimants ano witnesses swore to the marks of iden- tification with exactly the same de- scription as to .size, color and a pecul- iarity of the dehorning.
