The Chinese greatly outnumbered the Japanese and forced their opponents to give ground. â€" Already cases of heroism have been cited. British and American naval men succeeded in getting their own people, including women and children, out of the Chinese capital in the face of heavy crossâ€"fire of [:Fapanese and Chinese batteries. Another highlight of the fighting was the action of the crew of the Chinese "mosâ€" quito" speedboat in daring death to torpedo the Japanese flagship. _ 2o y It is apparent that the Japanese in their confidence tried to accomplish too much at one time, with their troops spread over a wide area.

NOT MANY MURDERS ‘ (Fergus News Record) At the present time, a young foreigner, Lesuk by name, who lived on a poor farm up in Mulmur townâ€" ship, is in jail waiting trial on a charge of murder, after his wife and threeâ€"dayâ€"old baby were found dead in the kitchen of their poor little house. This has led somebody, whose identity is not disclosed, to look into the history of murders in Dufferin. He finds that there‘ have been but four murder trials in the county and not one hanging, which is said to be a record of some kind or other. However, it must be remembered that Dufferin is only a little over fifty years old, and other murderers committed suicide or were sent to asylums. Besides, we know of at least one case which the Dufferin historian has entirely overlooked. Murder seems to have been a rare crime, not only in Dufferin, but throughout this district. We have no idea about the number of murder trials in Wellington, nor the number hanged, but they have been rare within our memory. When we wrote a his-‘ tory of Fergus a few years ago, we found that there‘ had never been a murder committed in the village. The only one in the immediate neighborhood, so far as we know, was the brutal killing of a little boy by a youth The boy had come in from his home in Garafraxo township, to get some yeast from a brewâ€" ery. As he was returning home, he was killed by this young chap who seems to have been after what he had in the pail, not knowing it was yeast. The boy murderer was caught and sent to the penitentiary for a long term of years, but lived long enough to be released. There was also a killing at Alma during the elecâ€" tion of 1857, details of which were given on this page some months ago. In that case, politics, religion and whiskey seem to have been mixed up together, and both the victim and the killer were from the Arthur neighborhood. We don‘t recall that a murder charge was laid, and the case came up for inquiry by the Parliament of the time, because of the queer doings after the crime. Returning to Dufferin, the Grand Valley Star and: Vidette tells of a man, who was condemned for mnr<1 dering another at Grand Valley. The gallows had been built in Orangeville when a reprieve was given and the murderer got a life sentence. In two other cases, one from Hockley and the other from Melanchâ€" ton, the killers got off because they successfully pleadâ€" ed selfâ€"defence. Ten years ago, a Rosemont woman was acceused of the death of her husband by poisoning, but as usual in such cases, the woman was acquitted. In three other cases, the murderers did not come to trial. One from Melanchton is in the Hamilton asylum. The other two, one from Melanchton and the other from Mulmur, settled the matter by killing themselves, one man being cremated when he set his barn on fire at Dunseath. (Fergus Newsâ€"Record) A transient in town was asked if he never looked for a job. Yes, he had a job last spring with a farmer He worked at it for two days, then he heard the train whistle at the nearby station and he left without sayâ€" ing goodbye, swung on to the train, and was away again. As he says: "That is the life." There‘s no work to be done; he sees the country; and he gets fed with no questions asked, and no work to do so long as he stays away from those places which demand something in return for their money. (Peterborough Examiner) There are children living in villages today who have never seen a horse being shod. They have never stood in wonder while the smith heated a shoe, then proceeded to put the hot shoe on the hoof and apply a knife to do the trimming, nor have they seen the operation where the same man deftly tucked the horse‘s hoof in between his knees through his spit apron and finally brought the operation to completion. The young folk never seemed to tire of standing about the door of the village blacksmith shop. Today the door is for the most part closed, but they are misaâ€" ing a good deal.

So Mr. Cranston utters & frank and friendly warning: "Be careful, Hugh! You might not look as cute as you think.‘" HOW MUCH IS A BILLION? (Our Dumb Animais, Boston) ‘ How many minutes do you think have been crowded into the 11937 years since the Christian Era dawned? Only a few over a billion. To be exact, 1,018,087,200. A dollar a minute for 1937 years would amount to a single billion. Yet we are told that as a nation we are thirtyâ€"five billions in debt. Who can think in billions? Senator Byrd says that if a man earning $100 a week were to attempt to pay it all out onulh; national debt it would take him 200,000 years. CAMOUFLAGED BEER ADVERTISING (Bowmanville Statesman) Since the brewing industry started their newsâ€" paper campaign of Temperance (?) beer sales have materially increased. The beer barons are convineed more than ever that it pays to advertise even though they do considerable camouflaging by waving the white flag of temperance to attract attention.

The movie producer who had a million dollar production held up by the death of a collie pup, no doubt thinks that misfortune dogs his steps. _ The Ottawa Journal describes Ottawa poâ€" lice cells as "verminous", while a City of Kitchener alderman referred to their jail as "lousy" and not fit for "respectable" prisoners. Proof that drink can break up a home was offered the other day in the case of the intoxiâ€" cated motorist who brought his trailer to rest against a hydro pole in the ditch. During last winter the city of Oswego, N.Y., had a scarlet fever epidemic with approxiâ€" mately 500 cases, all traced to the use of raw milk from a single infected cow. Oswego has since passed a byâ€"law requiring pasteurization of all milk sold there. A few days ago a lost man was rescued at Sundridge, Ont.. after 24 days of aimless wanâ€" dering in the wilderness. He had lost 50 or 60 pounds in weight, was reduced virtually to the status of a skeleton but he was still alive and with careful feeding and correct medication probably will recover. V. R. Smith, President of the Canadian Life Insurance Officers‘ Association, in a recent address, â€" mentioned | theâ€" fact that 3,500,000 Canadians carry life insurance, that the average policy is "just over £2,000, and that the overâ€" whelming majority of the owners of insurance and their families are persons of very modest means." The "Horror Campaign‘ instituted by the Department of Highways in an effort to stem the accident toll on Ontario Highways should bring some reckless drivers to their senses. By picturing in the press, the tragic results of careâ€" less and criminal driving the Government hopes to appeal to those whom their ‘"Try Courtesy" campaign seems to have left unmoved, Of the 4,036 persons who were committed to_ reformatories â€" and industrial â€"schools in Ontario last year, one out of every eight was less than 20 years of age, there being 520 comâ€" mitted whose ages ranged from 15 to 19 years. The biggest group. (743) was between 20 and 24 years of age, ang thus nearly one out of every three sent to reformatories was under 25 years of age. The campaign for the emancipation of men from their slavish devotion to the wrong kind of clothing, has not been given outstanding encouragement by the police judge of San Francisco. There a young man walked the atreets attired in shorts, shirt and shoes. He was accused of vagrancy. The court imposed a penalty of thirty days‘ suspended sentence and informed the offender that it was all right for women to go about that way but not for men.

Milk should be added to the ration whenever the pasture grasses become dry and tough. Current Crop Report I The yield of fall wheat In Ontario is estimated at 26.7 bushels to the acre, which is a good average, but considerably below that anticipated some weeks ago due to black rust in Essex and Kent counties and red rust in other sections, as well as conâ€" siderable light and shrunken grain caused by lodging and too rapid maâ€" turity. Cutting of spring grains is about completed in Western Ontario and has ‘been general in Eastern Onâ€" tario. Although seeding was exâ€" tremely late this season, plentiful supplies of moisture brought the crops along yery rapidly and in Old Ontario yields will range from averâ€" age to above average for barley, mixed grains and the main crop of vats. Very warm, early in August caused late oats to ripen prematureâ€" iy and rust which is prevalent in Central &nd Eastern Ontario will lower the yield considerably. The early potato erop has been harvested and the second early crop is beginning to move.
