I U i Must Tatoo Hogs UiioD Services Well Attended Under a new ruling all hogs ship- ped from the coantiee of Lambton, Huron, Kent and Essex must be tatooed by the shipper, prior to being sent to the packing houses for slaughter. For years, since the Grading Act has been in force, it has been the custom, generally, for a buyer to pur- chase the farmers' hogs at the pen, the shipper doing the grading. This has generally been satisfactory to the farmer, but should he not consider satisfactory the grading he was gett- ing, then he had the privilege of ask- ing that his hogs be graded "on the rail," that is, at the packing house after being slaughtered. However, all shippers in Lambton, Huron, Essex and Kent received notice that all hogs must now be tatooed when shipped. \ record sheet is made of each fanner's hogs, and when rail graded at the packing house, a duplicate copy is sent back to the farmer who sold the hogs, as well as to the shipper. A shipper may continue to buy on his own grading as before if the farmer is satisfied, but in every case the farmer will re- ceive his report from the Government grader as to just how his hogs grade. The idear is to endeavor to get the farmers to grow better hogs along recognized lines of market demands. Feted On Leaving On Friday, June 29, the teacher and pupils of Maxwell public school as- sembled to honor their school-mate. Miss Julia Priestley, who recently re- moved to Flesherton. The following address was read by Miss Lillian .Poole and the presentation made by Miss Lura Londry. Dear Julia, It is with much regret that we learn you are about to leave our school. You have always been willing and ready to help and we will miss you sorely. But we know that your sunny disposition will win you many friends, and we hope that you will always cherish a spot in your thoughts of your days in Maxwell school. We will always think of you and hope that we will all meet as often as posisble. We ask you to ac- cept this manicure set as a small gift and as a token of our esteem. Signed on behalf of your teacher and school mates of Maxwell school. Good congregations commenced the union services last Sunday. In the morning at the Baptist Church al- most every seat was occupied, the pastor preaching on "Paul's affliction." The choir gave a very appreciative anthem, "Jesus took my Burden." The evening service in St. John's United Church by Rev. Ashton was based upon "The man with a burden.'' The chou- sang very eflfectively the anthem '-Open my eyes that I may see." Mrs. Blackburn officiated at the organ and a good congregation assembled. Nest Sunday there will be no service in the Baptist Church, both morning and evening services being held in St. John's Church. A cordial welcome is extended to all. Hogartb-Stewart (By Our Ceylon Corr.) A quiet wedding but one of consid- erable interest to a large circle of friends in this locality was solemnized Saturday, July 2, at the Presbyterian Manse. Priceville, when Rev. Suther- land united in marriage Dora Mary, daughter of Mrs. Stewart and the late Archie Stewart of Ceylon to Mr. Melville Thomas Hogarth, son of Mrs. Hogarth and the late Mr. John A. Hogarth of Jarvis, Ontario. The bride was very attractive in a gown of orchid triple sheer with white hat, shoes and accessories and carried a bouquet of pink and yellow orchids. She was attended by Mrs. Sam Mc- Dermid, Priceville, gowned in blue while Mr. McDermid supported the g^oom. A wedding dinner followed at the home of the bride's mother where a beautiful color scheme of yellow and white made a very attractive setting, orchids being massed in bowls and used profusely with yellow and white streamers. For travelling the bride chose a blue ensemble with white hat, shoes and white accessories. The happy young couple are honeymooning In Muskoka and upon returning home will reside in Ceylon. Many beauti- ful gifts were received among them being an aeropack from the pupils of Swamp College school where Miss Stewart has taught for the past two years. M ; ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. and Mrs. A.

Frank MulhaU, Doreen Nel- son (H), Flesherton Now Well Protected Against Fire The Flesherton Council received delivery of the new (to them) fire truck from the town of Meaford, fol- lowing the purchase made some weeks ago. Meaford purchased more pow- erful fire equipment and delivery was made two weeks ago. Since then they have tested the new machine and when everything was found in excel- lent working order, the old machine was brought to Flesherton. Flesherton has been in great need of proper Ture lighting equipment and was fortunate in being able to secure that which was discarded by Meaford, not because it was inefficient, but that it was felt a booster pump was also ' 'nan and sp'-..kers included H.

The report of the Treasurer indi- cated a net operating profit for the past fiscal year of $32,155 with a net profit for the year applied against deficit of $12,851. The accumulated deficit now stands at S4o,T33. The net operating cost during the previous light, siren and two hundred feet of nose. This was all purchased for $650. A new fire hall was erected on town property in the park, and this will also house supplies for the Hy- dro Commission. The truck was accompanied to Flesherton by Mr. William White, night policeman of Meaford, Reeve Wm, Riley, Wm. Blocker, chairman of the Fire and Light Committee of j the Meaford Council and Councillors | Frank Harding and CUfford Erskine. These gentlemen gave a demonstra- tion of the value of the equipment when Reeve McCauIey set fire to a large pile of calcium chloride bags on the County Road property in town. The bags were waterproofed with tar and when the fire had made consider- able headway an alarm was turned in. The blaze was extinguished with one tank of chemical, but broke out again in several places and a further half tank was used to finally quell the flames. Reeve Riley stated their Cask was a difficult one ais a fire of that nature is a stubborn one to fight. A blaze in a building is easier ex- tinguished. The local Council mem- bei-s were well pleased with the ex- hibition, following which the final i transaction of the purchase was made by Reeve McCauley. The Council has erected a siren on th« tall hydro pole on the main com- er, which in due course of time will be sounded either from the switch box on the pole or from the telephone Regiment In Camp The Grey and 6imcoe Forester* left for camp at Niagara-on-the-Lake on Sunday afternoon.

Osprey Nomination Mrs. Burnett Honored (By Toronto Line North corr.) A very delightful afternoon was spent at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Burnett on Thursday.

The company entered all in a body headed by the three little Sparks sisters who sang ''Happy Birthday" and presented Mrs. Burnett with a sheaf of eighty-one roses mix- ed with maiden hair fern. Each of the company extended birthday greet- ings to Mrs. Burnett and then spent a few enjoyable hours in social chat after which a daintv lunch was served.

LOONS AND LOONETTES Why Not Grey League? Hanover is perfectly happy in the bosom of the Bruce League, being close to practi 'y all the towns and enjoying sport:; asosciations with them, bu:, at the same time, it is a question if there arent enough towns in Grey County to form a Grey League, Three of the four "B" teams in tho Bruce League at the start of the season :ure in Grey County â€" Mea- ford, Owen Sound and Hanover â€" and as things riow stand maybe they could induce Chesley to join them in a Grey "B" League, Durham is play- ing ball this year, and, with Mark- dale, Flesherton, Dundalk, etc., could surely form a "C" group for Grey. To be sure, we doubt if the Grey "C" teams could be as strong as the •'C's'*' in Bruce, but there could be a league in each county. Wiarton would be left stranded in the north of Bruce as jthe only "C" team in that section, i«nd Chesley would be the only "B" I team in the Bruce League. Either i that or call it a Grey-Bruce Leag:ue ' with the four "B" teams in one group and a "C" group in eaoh county. â€" Hanover Post. The loon, or great northern diver, is a familiar bird to all resident* of this part of Canada. His crazy voice as he sails high in the blue from one lake to another in the morning or in the evening has given rise to the expression "Crazy as a loon." He has some wonderful peculiarities for a bird. His feet are placed so far behind that he cannot walk or stand without crutches but he sometimes tries to use his wings for sticks. His food is entirely fish which he pursues and catches under wat«r. and their little yellow tails stick up <^ut of the water like snubbing posts for water bugs. When one scares them they flit over the water with wings and feet in a straight line to sret away. This appears to be the only accomplishment they have fully mastered. .\s to what the young ar' called we have no data to refer to but we win do the best we can to answer our correspondent's question. It is to be v^resumed, of course, that the sextet is made np of both gentle- man and lady loons. The ladies might be called (,'lunettes." The rhe writer has seen the process and gentlemen naturally, as is the nature it was a sight to see that bird flash | of the human race, would be known through the water after its prey, j to the female portion of the sextet A correspondent at Meaford asks | as -'lunatics." .A,U six as thev scurrv me what they call the baby loons. He says that baby swans are called cygnits, but never heard what a baby loon is called. He says a flock of six newly hatched loons inhabit the harbour at Meaford where they are learning looncraft. For instance, when they attempt to dive, they can- not as yet gret all the way under. from danger, from their exertion in the effort, might be fittingly called 'pant-a-loons." So that these three classes as a composite picture can only be called baby loons. But they are very interesting little fellows as thflj pursue their daily lessons in the loony curriculum. Th« Naturalist Red Oak Log Too Large Sawing At The Mill One of the largest logs seen in Wel- lington County in many years was sawn into' lumber at D. L. MundcU's yard. Sth line, Erin, on Wednesday, June 22. The log was from a red oak tree, which was cut in the .\sh- grove district in Halton County. Its circumference at the butt was sixteen feet, four inches and when cut in twelve foot lengths, it made slight- ly over six hundred board feet of lumber. Tt was found necessary to split the stick in three pieces with dvnamite before it eonld be T»h»ced on the carriage of the portable saw hi nse in the yard. â€" Orangeville Ban- ner.
