W. J. BELLAMY, Clerk. Township of Artemesia. Dated this 19th day of May, 1942. 1 junior hockey match, less dangerous, apparently, than senior rugby foot- ball. The costumes were beautiful, all covered with gold braid on bright colors. There were toreadors, who ftght on foot, using a capa or cape to attract the attention of the bulls. Chief of these is the matador, the man who kills the bull (in Spain) or uses a wooden sword and pretends to kill the animal, in Portugal. The mounted bullfighters are cavaleiros. Sometime* there are other men who wrestle with tlhe bulls tand throw them. These are foroados. A bugle blows and the excitement begins. There is a sort of grand parade two cavaleiros on splendid Arab horses and several groups of toreadors in brilliant yellow and deep plum-colored velvet suits with gold braid. The trumpets blew again. The ring 1 was cleared. A gate at the left opened and a black bull with brass balls on his horns came rushing in. Another gate across the ring opened and a horseman entered, while tor- eadors jumped over the fence into the circle. After the first rush, the bull had lost his enthusiasm. The toreadors waved their red capes at him and he charged them, while they neatly sidee-stepped, or turned over their capes to ahow the yellow side, whereupon the bull lost interest. But he didn't like the horse and charged for it. The cavaleiro held what locked like two tiny .spears, with bright ribbons on the ends. As the bull charged, he turned his horse, leaned towards the bull and neatly planted the barbed ends of these bandcrilhas in the fatty part of the neck. The spears broke off near the points, leaving ribbons hanging on the bull's neck. The bull looked angry, rather than hurt, but he didn't press the fight until the men with the capes stirred him up again. Six darts, in all, were placed in his neck before the cavaleiro took a wooden sword, and all one in the ring now, made several attacks on the bull before dealing what might have been a death blow with a real sword. The crowd, understanding liie fine points, booed cheerfully when he missed and cheered when he succeeded. Then the trumpet blew again as the referee, sitting on a pedestal, signalled that the fight was over. The horsemen rode a" - ay, bowing and smiling. The bull looked around and saw no one. The gates opened, and a herd of six skinny, trained steers, eaoh with a huge cowbell on its neck, came into the ring and encircled the bull and he trotted off with them, the herd driven by two with his grandfather, Mr. Jacob Williams.

COURT OF REVISION TOWNSHIP OF OSPREY The first sitting of the Court of Revision of the Assessment Roll of the Township of Osprey will be held at Feversham on Saturday, June 13, 1942, at the hour of 10 o'clock a.m. All appeals properly filed will be placed before the Court. C. N. LONG, Clerk Township of Osprey. was a visitor with Neil, and wife over her the little boys in bright costumes. There was one more fight on hi rsoback and six on foot. They tended to grow monotonous. The sympathy of the Canadians was all with the bulls, which didn't want to fight. Once a bull had his chance. A toreador slipped and fell on the sand. The bull immediately stood aside until h e got up. But the Port- ugese don't ask the bulls to fight more than once. They retire after one public appearance. Perhaps that's just as well. The bull, back in the pasture field, might get to thinking, "Now, if I had only run at the man instead of that red rag . . . " And if any bulls get ideas like that, it might end 'bull-fighting. There remained one mystery. How about those "torros d,isembollos"? we asked the young Lieutenant and he laughted heartily. "Why," he said, "we Portugese don't disembowel our bulls. It means, how you say it? Oh yes, 'six disballed bulls.' You see the ons that fight the horses have brass balls on their horns so they cannot tear the horses' flanks; the ones that fight the men have no balls on their horns." So that was that!

Brush marks are really hundreds of tiny grooves in a paint Elm. These grooves collect and hold dirt, which spoils the appearance of your paint job, and may cause early peeling and cracking. When you paint with Flo-glaze there is no place for din to lodge on the perfectly smooth paint film, and any surface dust is washed dean by the rains. Flo-glaze has good covering and hiding powers. Keeps fresh-looking for long years of wear. That's why we say it "has what it takes to give you a real job!" Come in soon and see our range of colors for Spring. D.
