Miss Macphail To Contest Grey-Bruce It is a foregone conclusion that Miss Macphail, who has been the member Alft. 2, for Grey-Bruce since 1921, will again get the nomination of the Alg. 2, Phys. partv. It will be her sixth election campaign, and the second she has Murray Lepard â€" Eng. C. 8, Alg. 3. contested since a part of Bruce countv Bernice Wright â€" Ifcig. Comp. c, was added to the old riding of South ----- . - Grev. There have been rumors for some weeks that Miss Macphail is to be appointed to a Penitentiary Commis- sion, but we have been unable to se- cure any confirmation of these re- ports. The story is that the govern- ment is placing the control of the prisons in a three-man board, the chairman to get $10,000 and other members $7,000 a year, and that they will opei-ate instead of the former Superintendent of Penitentiaries. In view of the fact that Miss Macphail was largely instrumental in having an enquii-y into the prison system of Can- ada, as a result of which many changes were suggested by the Com- mission, rumors have connected her name with appointment to the board, and it i.s reported that the appoint- ment will be made before an election is held. Were Miss Macphail asked to serve on this board and agreed to accept, it would entail her resifrnation as member, and officials of the district U.F.O. have expressed the view that they would be rather adverse to her accepting such a post, feeling that she has a greater field of service as a member of the House. Another fact is that were she appointed to such a board on the eve of an election, and should the Conservatives have a ma- iority in the next House, they might not 'feel themselves Ibound by the last-minute appointments of the Lib- eral government and cancel it, so that Miss Macphail would be left "in the cold." These reports, as we said, are quite unconfirmed, and Premier King is about the only one who knows what appointments are in mind, and he has said nothing, so it would seem likely that Miss Macphail will again be a candidate in the next election. â€" Ex.

An error crept in the report of the field crop competition held bv the Osprey Agricultural Society, when the third and fourth place winners became mixed. Mr. Garnet Magee won third place with a high count of 92. one point behind second place, while Em- erson Wright was fourth with 84. It seems impossible sometimes from keeping mistakes out of a newspaver, and we hasten to make amends to Mr. Magee. as his fine showing in the com- petition is worthy of reporting.

EASY MONEY Alsr. 3. c. Can. Prospective Bridegroom: "Gosh, is that all? Pooh! that's nothing. What's Capone made itâ€" and he's in jail. So did scores of others who are in jail, have been in jail, are going to jail or are under the sod â€" all be- -ause they made easy money. Nobody can be blamed for wanting more money, but only simpletons teke the easv-money route. It often takes the law a long time to catch up with them, but most invan- ablv it does catch up. This isn't intended as consolation ""'• those who are out of jail but havon't much monev; those who work for a living and haven't much left over after they've paid hvmg ex- penses It's just another reminder to those who look with greedy eyes on easv monev that the fellow vvho makes it. and anpears to be a big shot, usually ends up in the role of a big chump.â€" Chicago Herald.

Black of Flesherton and Chief Constable H Scott of Durham had a thrilling chase through Wednesday evenings storm, when they drove many miles at 80 miles per. hour, chasing a car reported stolen at Woodstock. Several shots were fired during the chace, but the thieves eventually made their es-ape. The car was first sighted at Dhurham and becoming suspicious the officers followed the car to Mount Forest. Here they made an attempt to hall it, but the theives eluded capture and started »« *" the directon af Harriston.

IMPROVE BALL DIAMOND FARMERS HAVE REAL GRIEVANVE WHEN FAR.MS ARE INV.VDED There was a police court case in Durham on Friday last in which our .sympathies were with the defendant, a farmer, who had got himself into u rather bad jam by swiping a tire and wheel off a car that was parked nn a sideroad near his farm. He had been having trouble with tresspass- ers in â- . : b "I-- nntch wb â-  f;-.:'.;d to move out when requested. This iiiaJe the farmer mad and he told his son in a fit of anger to go down and re- move the wheel, which the young lad did. Of course he broke the \a\\ He had no business to take the tire and wheel, and the fact that the tress- passers were also breaking the law was no justification for him com- mitting what could have been called theft. Farmers have a good many things to contend with, what with berry- pickers, fishermen, hunters and oth- ers, too many of whom show but little regard for the men who own the property. Gates are often left open, fences are taken down and not replaced, grain fields are overrun, until the farmer is beside himself. It hardly seems right that a farmer, with his work to do in the summer months, should have to police his farm as well. It is a hard thing to do. especially if there are two or three hundred acres in the holding. It might not have been right for that Egremont farmer to take the wheel and tire, but he had our sym- nathv just the same. True, he could have taken the license number of the car. but most of us do a lot of fool things when We get mad. â€" Durham Chronicle. .â- ^ murmer has been heard that the ball team would like the fence moved at the Park to the memorial gates. and erected along the cedars at the rear.

SOME THINGS WE LIKE We like the crowds of good nat- ured. good looking people who come to our town on Saturday nights. We like to hear farmers talk about conditions on the farm, about their stock and crops, the weather and their shrewd comments on current events. We like to hear the women asking one another if they are going to the garden party or picnic and about vvhat eatables they are gmng to take, and about who will make the tea and coffee; who will take the â- ream and discuss how many pies thev should have, etc. We like to see acquaintances meet and shake hands with one another on the street Saturday night, ask each other how they are keeping; how ai> the children and .\unt Rachel and graridma and grandpa. We like to hear them talking for a while about their home and community life and then sav, "WELL. I MUST GO NOW .\ND DO SOME SHOPPING.'â€" Kin- cardine News. Midnight Saturday saw the close of the tinit period of The .Advance great Good-Will Subscription Campaign. Monday morning's relative standing revealed several of the candidates with scarcely a nominal difference iiutween them. Even if one candidate were an out- standing leader, it would be too early to predict a winner. But. with the competition keen, and the leaders so closely placed, the race is filled with exciting and unpredictable possibili- ties. Only one thing is certain and that is that the best candidate will prove to be the one who bends the ir.ost intelligent and persistent effort owaids the winning of the Cam- paign's Gi-and Prize â€" the $400.00 in This week a special bonus of thr-a prizes are being given as follows: To the candidate securing ..le greatest number of new subscri, â-  ons any one day. Bennett & Richards will sive a special prize. To the candidate securing the •:Xreatest number of new subscriptions this week F. W. Duncan will give a special prize. To the candidate securing the srreatest amount of business (new or old) during the week, D. McTavish & Sons will give a special prize. This is a good week to give sup- port to your favorite candidate, so that he or she may win one of these .special prizes. At the end of the first period of he campaign Mrs. Russell Linton is >till leading. Mrs. Linton has been â- n the lead from the bcinning and still holds that enviable position. Miss Alice Armstrong, who was in third position in the first announce- ment, did not take long to climb into second place and has demonstrated that other candidates must look to their laurels.
