Wednesday. January 19, 1938 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Mrs. R. Richardson The funeral of tlie lute Mrs. Robert Richardson was hold on Wednesday of last Week from the home of Mr. Emer- son Wickens, and was largely attended by sorrowing relatives and friends. Her pastor, Kev. G. R. Scivice, of St. John's United church conducted the services at the house and cemetery. He preached a comforting sermon and took as his text Hebrews U : 1.3 "These all die in failh and God has prepared for them a city.'* "'Tho hymns "Safe in the Arms of Jesus" and "Jesus Saviour I'iiot Me, "were repeated with music nccompunyinK played .softly. A larne nunit>cr of lieautiful floral tributes surrounded the casket, among them beiiit: a spray from L.O.L. 509, Oranpe Valley, and sprays from the neighbors. Amon^ those from a distance who attended the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Campbell, Mrs. \Vm. Jack- son, Mrs. J. McCullough, Mrs. Herb Kennedy and Mr. Bougard, all of To- ronto, Mrs. Ted Hen.son of Barrie, Mr. Reg. Mann and Mrs. John Bee- croft, both of Owen Sound. The pallbearers were: Messrs. \Vm. Hutchinson, Howard Graham, Fred Boland, Emerson Wickens, Thomas Sled and Jacob Lever. good. Good to choice lambs sold at 7.75 to 8.00. Best buU-her sheep 6.00. The calf market opened strong, choice from 10.50 to 11.00; fair to good from 9.00 to 10.00; common to medium 0.00 to 8.50. Supplies of hogs were light, the market held stiong at 8.50 for truck iteliveries. Should supplies become heavy for the balance of the week, it is quite probable that prices will work lower. Live Stock Report (By Dunn & Levaek, Toronto) Nearly 4,000 cattle arrived for Mon- day's market and with a good demand all classes of cattle held steady. Ex- jV% port buyers for shipment to the Unit- e<i Kingdom contributed considerable strength to the market as a whole, while the outlet to American markets Was confined mostly to veal calves. Choice heavy steers brought from $6.00 U> $6.50; fair to good from $,-|.25 to COO; common to medium 4.00 to 6.00. In tho butcher section, choice handy weight steers and heifers sold at from 5.25 to 5.75, with a few fancy np to 6.00. Baby beeves were slow of sale, with the bulk of the sales being mado at from 5.00 to 7.00 and a few fancy calves up to 8.00.

Choice butcher bulls brought from 4.00 to 4.50; bolognas from 3.65 to 4.00.

He was convicted on charge of con- version by theft by Judge G. W. Mor- ley in county criminal court at Owen Sound on Tuesday. The judge de- nounced municipalities which paid meagre salaries to men in positions of trust and did not have regular au- dits of tax collection rolls. Kerr was short $11,206.07 and his counsel, in arguing for a lenient sent- ence after his client had pleaded guil- ty, said that only one audit had been taken in the 20 years Kerr had held the job. Kerr, he said, was paid a sal- ary of $175 in recent years, less than before. "The fact that there wore but two audits, the last one bringing out this matter," said Judge Morley, does not excuse you Kerr." "But it does show carelessness on the part of township officials. Your salary of $175 was meagre, and I think townships and municipalities should be urged to pay larger salaries to men put in positions of trust. "When I say that I think every municipality should annually have the tax rolls audited by an outside ac- countant, I would like that statement to be made very public. "I was implicated alone," Kerr said. "No one else had anything to do with it."

X ? ? T ? Y ? T y ? ? y y y Flesherton's Semi-Pro hockey team played their first game of the season in Dundalk arena on Monday night. Flesherton managed to squeeze in a few minutes practice, which was their first, before the game and all seemed eager to go. In the first period, in fact throughout the whole game, there was plenty of slashing and rather rough hockey. D. Hopkins served the frst penalty for boarding and then A. Hopkins and D. Wilson got the gate for trying to start a free for all. Dun- dalk scored the first goal midway through the second period and shortly after D. Hopkins and Wilson got maj- or penalties for a private feud. Next Spanhouse served a penalty for tripp- ing but he came right back to score near the end of the period. Flesher- ton disputed this goal but to no avail. In the third period T. Banks was re- lieved of the pads by A. Hopkins and immediately after the face off Ranks I sailed down alone to score and shortly after Banks again scored from left wing but the referee called the play back on an off-side. D. Hopkins was again sent off and Langdon scored the final goal and the game ended 3-1 in Dundalk's favour but no doubt f i Flesherton team will do better when they get a few practices.

Flesherton Lost Two Games This Week Flesherton Centre Grey League have not had much luck during the past week when they dropped two League games and are now safely occupying last place in the schedule. From the looks of things the players are not in condition, as in both games they, appeared to be in their old time form, but faded toward the last of each game. Friday night last they lost a close game to Dundalk 2-1 and at the end of the first period were leading by one to nothing. D ♦ndalk put on the pressure in the second and netted two fast goals to take lead and win the game. No scoring in the last frame. Boyd scored the only counter when he ?ook his own rebound to slam the rubber home. M. Dean of Shel- burne refereed and gave Flesherton a raw deal right from the beginning, the boys protested his decisions in the first period, so the beefing was not from a defeated team. It was his last game that he will ever referee with a Flesh- erton team playing. Markdale won Monday night's game 5-2 in a rousing exhibition that pro- duced some good hockey. Patton made the fir.st tally for Flesherton in the first on a pass from McTavish, and in the second McCutcheon made it two to nothing on a solo effort. Flesherton stopped there and Markdale tied th( score before the period was ended and in the third secured three more for a safe lead. George Boyd, the star centre player was absent through ill- ness. Delbert Smith has been a dis- appointment this year as he is not playing the hockey he is capable of, and which he displayed last year. Markdale has displayed great power n their attack this year and are right- ly holding down first place. Flesherton entertains Shelburne on Friday evening of this week, when they hope to char>ge the defeats into victories. It will be a game that will ha worth while watching, so make a point to attend.

T. HILL & CO. LTD. | Ontario Seed Grain After a careful survey of the seed situation for the spring of 1938, the Department finds that there are suffi- tient oats and barley in the province to look alter tho seed rei,jiri-ments. This is dependent on every farmer taking immediate steps to have tho best of his grain cleaned and set aside for his seed. Many appear to think that because their grain this year is oil" color and a little under standard weight that it will not make suitable seed, but tests alreaily made show that when this otf-colored and under- weight grain has been thoroughly cleaned up to a 50 per cent cut in some instances, good seed was secui'- ed which germinated as high as 90 per cent. If this work is done now the cleaned-out grain can be used for feed. By following out some such policy there will be no great shortage of seed ne.xt spring. Many farmers have a fanning mill of some description, with n little repair and an extra screen or two, will clean grains. The correct screens, of course, are import- ant, and should any farmer be in doubt, the Department will be glad to furnish this information on request, Where farmers live within driving and trucking distance of power clean- ing plants that have scourers and carter disc machines, it will pay them to have their cleaning done at one of these plants. What is most important is that the farmers start now so that tho clean- ing anil germinating can be done properly, nnil not leave it until n spvint' vniih tlcvelop.^). Germination tests will indicate the suitability of seed. St. John's W.M.S. will meet in the church on Thursday at 3 p.m., when it is hoped the new president will be in the chair. .Mrs. Wni.

She began grabbing off honors on her graduation from high school at lt> years of age. She immediately ap- plied for a position as nurse but only secured it on her record.
