A photo of the old building was shown to the club. In 1854 another plant was built at Geneva, Ohio, and in 1857 one at Ashtabula, Ohio. In the following year* other plant* appeared until in 1902 there were about seventeen dif ferent concerns, and in this year the American Fork and Hoe Company was formed, which absorbed and amalga mated fifteen of these seventeen plants. This company is the associate plant of the local Maple Leaf Harvest Tool Company, Limited. The handle end of the business was the biggest end of the propostion as white ash was becoming very scarce and to protect the business the company keep* fifteen years* sup ply purchased ahead.

Previous to 1909 Shurlcv & Deitrich of Galt, Ont., had started a harvest tool company in the old Union Jack Bicycle plant. In 1909 The American Fork and Hoc Company decided to locate in Canada with Ham ilton as the site in view, but eventually they purchased the local, plant that same year and the late Mr. G G. Davis, a larse shareholder, was sent here as superintendent. In 1910 hydro was first turned on in Tillsonburg and S3 motors displaced the discarded steam engine. The first harvest tool works was started in Bedford, Quebec, and later other plants appeared in Cedar vale and Wellandvale. Steel was the first requisite and for this work had to be made of a special analysts. Mr. Hill described fully and in a very in teresting manner every detail of the work from the raw steel to the finished product as it left the factory for ship ments that covered every part of Can ada. There existed all along the Can adian shore of Lake Eric a 40-mile belt of white ash with the very best quality existing in the immediate district of Tillsonburg and which was being rap idly depleted. The local company kept a million handles ahead in drying shed* and use* hall a million handles here in Tillsonburg every year, and with in creased tillage and population of the soil In the West the speaker forecasted modern additions to the local plants. They now stamp “Tillsonburg" on all their handles as a mark of appreciation of the splendid treatment accorded them by the town. A few months ago the local firm produced a film showing in detail the making of harvest tools from start to finish, and this film is ad vertising Tillsonburg from coast to coast. Mr. Hill exhibited several samples of the work and extended the Lion members an invitation to pay a visit to the plant. A very hearty vote of thanks was extended to the speaker for the excellent address and the meeting closed with the National Anthem. This address bv Mr. Hill was pro claimed as one of the most interesting addresses that ha* ever been delivered before the club, and thoroughly showed the exceptional grasp of the details of the business which Mr. Hill has. a small grant was desired. On motion of Councillors Lambden and Crandall a grant of $25.00 was made to the band. The fire chief reported five chimney fires during the month, and a total fire loss for the past year of $1720.00.

Louis* Kiffal triumphed this time, but she was not so successful in the next hand-to-hand contest which she had with Mrs. Carrick. Fanny Lindsay came in. one March twligiht, and went up, as usual, to the nursery. As she crossed the thresh old. little Roy’s hoarse cough fell upon her ear.

He introduced the farmer* of Oxford county to what was then a novelty, the storage of ensilage in silos for winter fodder for cattle, and he also persuaded them to cultivate sugar-beet* to supply a bect-sugar factory, perhaps the first in Canada, which he had secured for the town.

Community singing was interspersed during the evening, and Lion W. H. Hill, super intendent of the Maple Leaf Harvest Tool Co., LtiL. gave a most interesting address on the harvest tool business in North America from its inception until the present time. Prior to 1839 no har vest tools were made with the excep tion of a few odd hand tools made in scattered village blacksmith shops. In the above year Lyman Bachelor of the State of Vermont opened a smalle re pairing shop and at the request of dis trict farmers, made a few hand-made forks. He trained his three sons to the making of forks, and with increas ed business appearing, moved to Wil- lingford, Vermont, in 1840, where he made the first harvest tools in the United States, and where the American Fork and Hoe Company now has a plant and which company purchased the original plant of Lyman Bachelor. A photo of the old building was shown to the club. In 1854 another plant was built at Geneva, Ohio, and in 1857 one at Ashtabula, Ohio. In the following years other plants appeared until in 1902 there were about seventeen dif ferent concerns, and in this year the American Fork and Hoe Company was formed, which absorbed and amalga mated fifteen of these seventeen plants. This company is the associate plant of the local Maple Leaf Harvest Tool Company, Limited. The handle end of the business was the biggest end of the propostion as white ash was becoming very scarce and to protect the business the company keeps fifteen years’ sup ply purchased ahead. When the amal gamation was effected the best engin eers possible were secured. The com pany has always made and designed machines required for the work in their own plants, including rolls, presses, lead tanks, eta In a few years export possibilities appeared and agents were sent to all parts of the world with the result tMat the company now enjoys a large export business. Previous to 1909 Shurlcv & Deitrich of Galt, Ont., had started a harvest tool company in the old Union jack Bicycle plant. In 1909 The American Fork and Hoc Company decided to locate in Canada with Ham ilton as the site in view, but eventually they purchased the local, plant that same year and the late Mr.'G G. Davis, a large shareholder, was sent here as superintendent. In 1910 hydro was first turned on in Tillsonburg and 53 motors displaced the discarded steam engine. The first harvest tool works was started in Bedford, Quebec, and later other plants appeared in Cedar vale and Wellandvalc. Steel was the first requisite and for this work had to be made of a special analysis. Mr. Hill described fully and in a very in teresting manner every detail of the work from the raw steel to the finished product as it left the factory for ship ments that covered every part of Can ada. There existed all along the Can adian shore of Lake Eric a 40-milc belt of w'hite ash with the very best quality existing in the immediate district of Tillsonburg and which was being rap idly depleted. The local company kept a million handles ahead in drying sheds and uses half a million handles here in Tillsonburg every year, and with in creased tillage and population of the soil in the West the speaker forecasted modern additions to the local plants. They now stamp “Tillsonburg” on all their handles as a mark of appreciation of the splendid treatment accorded them by the town. A few months ago the local firm produced a film showing in detail the making of harvest tools from start to finish, and this film is ad vertising Tillsonburg from coast to coast. Mr. Hill exhibited several sam ples of the work and extended the Lion members an invitation to pay a visit to the plant. A very hearty vote of thanks was extended to the speaker for the excellent address and the meeting closed with the National Anthem. Ttiis address by Mr. Hill was pro claimed as one of the most interesting addresses that has ever been delivered before the club, and thoroughly showed the exceptional grasp of the details of the business which Mr. Hill has.

The monthly meeting of the town council was held on Tuesday evening, all tlye members being present but Councillors Davis and Young, Mayor R. E. Weston in the chair. G. E. Long addressed the council asking a preliminary grant in behalf of the citizens' band. Mr. Long explained that this band had been recently or ganized, and had bright promise of a successful future. In order to aid in the purchase of music and to pay rent, a small grant was desired. On motion of Councillors Lambdcn and Crandall a grant of $25.00 was made to the band. The fire chief reported five chimney fires during the month, and a total fire loss for the past year of $1720.00. He asked for a one-tdn chassis at a cost not jo exceed $720.00, for the use of the fire station as a chemical engine. He estimated the total cost, including changes in the equipment, not to exceed $750.00.—Referred to the fire, water and light committee. The town clerk reported the births, marriages and deaths for 1927 as fol lows Births, 100; marriages. 36; deaths, 60.

There had been about six cases of scar let fever of a mild type, f diphtheria, with one fatality; anff^-.x mild cases of chickenpox. Some places in town were reported as in an unsani tary condition, which it seems almost impossible to prevent until the town is able to enlarge the sewerage system. In warm weather it is impossible to prevent nuisances from outhouses in thickly populated districts. Dr. Hoo ver also reported the sanitary condi tions in the High and Public Schools as very satisfactory, i’:. The chief of police reported three arrests, one summons, and one case be fore the magistrate. The collections from fees and fines were $140.00; ddg tax $18.00; licenses, $959.

It would be about 8x15 feet in size, of concrete and cement, sod covered with no obstruction on the street. The company also asked for permission to enlarge their window display space on the north side of the building to about four feet wide and forty-five feet in length.—Granted. The following communication was read from T. R. Winter:—Gentlemen, —I understand that a certain commit tee of councillors was instructed a short time ago to get prices from the local merchants on some coats for the fire department, and as a merchant of the town I would appreciate knowing why I was not asked for prices as well as my fellow-merchants. I am quite sure that as a ratepayer of the town I am more entitled to an opportunity to quote prices than an out-of-town con cern, that pays absolutely nothing into the town treasury to help support the town in any way. Thanking you for a reply, stating why I was not asked, I am, respectfully yours, T. R. Winter. J. G. park addressed the following communication to the council:—Hon orable Sirs,—I see by the newspapers that several rubber coats were purchas ed for the firemen from an out-of-town firm. I also understand that some of the merchants in town were asked to tender for same. What I would like to ask is why I, as a merchant handling rubber coats, was not asked to tender also. I would also like to know why it was given to a firm that docs not pay taxes in support of the town in any way. Awaiting your reply, I am, yours respectfully,, J. G. Clark. Councillor Fairs, chairman of the fire, water and light committee was asked to make an explanation of the circumstances in connection with the purchase of the coats referred to in the above communications. Councillor Fairs said that he had ob tained samples and prices from two firms, and was sorry that the others had been overlooked. However, a traveller happened along and in course of conversation agreed to fiunish sam ples and prices. This was done, and in examining same the fire chief express ed his derided preference for the coats shown by the outside firm, and as the price quoted was some $3.00 less per Acquitted By Jury at Simcoe Without Hearing Defense E.idence-Delhicoat than that quoted by the home firm the order was placed with them. ..........- - ----------- The Hospital for Sick Children, To-' End' Suddenly, ronto, made its annual appeal for a ---------- grant, and $25.00 was made.

This morn ing, after the case for the crown had been finished, the jury declared they did not wish to hear any rebuttal evi dence for the defense, and they ac cordingly rendered a verdict of not guilty. The end came suddenly after a long drawn-out argument between opposing counsels. After the crown's case had been concluded, defense counsel, V. T. Foley, of Chatham, introduced a mo tion that the case be taken away from the jury by Mr. Justice Rose for in sufficient evidence. A precedent was established when his lordship refused to act without the jury rendering a ,'erdict themselves. After his lordship had briefly stated his attitude on the motion the jury withdrew. After delib erating 2i minutes they renderd a ver dict. The verdict of “not guilty" was ac cepted and the jury was dismissed. Mrs. Talley was dismissed .without comment from the bench. Mrs. Talley, even during tjie time the jury was deliberating, maintained her expression of perfect stoicism that she has adopted all through the trial. When the verdict was rendered she merely smiled reassuringly at her mother, Mrs. William Tillotson, of Delhi, who was sitting in the court. But after the hearing when seen in the corridor of the jail, Mrs. Talley was not so composed. She had a smile for every person and apparently her nerves were on edge.

Birthday Party to ageOnly....................... „ 9 years, was in the courthouse when the case ended and the greeting be tween mother and daughter was very touching. Mrs. Tillotson embraced her daughter tenderly while walking from the courtroom to the jail When asked how she felt, now that she had been discharged, Mrs. Talley simply replied, "The same as ever. I knew I would be found not guilty and I was not worrying. I had nothing to do with Emmett's death and I was convinced that any jury would find me innocent." When asked about her plans for the future, Mrs. Talley said she intended going to her parents’ home in Delhi for some time and then of visiting her native town, Oxford, North Carolina. "But I am coming back to Canada, you know," she added. “I like this country and intend to make my home here."At this point in the conversation her daughter, Elsie, joined her mother. “And what have you to say, Elsie now that your mother is free to return home with you?" But Elsie’s only reply was to em brace her mother again and to suggest that she hurry and get her belongings from the jail Mrs. E. V. Tillson opened her home on Friday afternoon to the members and ex-memher.« of the James H. Wil son chapter of the I.O.D.E., to ccle- iratc their fifth birthday party.

These figures are higher than for January. 1927, when a total of $538,374.81 was awarded, which included $76,44129 for medical aid. The accidents reported last month numbered 5,056. of which 58 were fatal. The figures for December, 1927, were 5.655 accidents, including 47 fatalities and the reports in January, 1927. 5293. including 29 fatal cases. The total number of fatalities reported in the past six months is 266, which is considerably above the average for any six month period since 1926. Commenting on these figures, R. B. Morley. General Manager of the In dustrial Accident Prevention Associ ations. tells of several accidents that have recently been investigated by the field force of the Associations. One of these involved the loss of the left hand of a seven! ecn-year-old operator, when his sleeve caught in a revolving cylinder in a textile mill, Mr. Morley states that in certain types of industry, close attention must be paid to the type of clothes worn. Many accidents' would be prevented if operators wore tight fitting clothes and rolled the sleeves. Another serious accident was in a laundry when the operator failed to replace the guard on the extractor before starting the machine, this result ing in a right arm being broken in four places. A third preventable accident occurred at a plant when the ladder on which the janitor was working broke. This accident had serious results and is another instance of the necessity for INSURANCE H. L.

Have You Stomach Trouble ? The stomach receives the vital currents or life from the brain by nerves branching off from the spinal cord, coming out between the vertebrae or hard pieces of bone that make up the spinal column. If one of the vertebrae become displaced, and pinch a nerve leading to the stomach, and shutting off the vital currents, it causes distress or sickness in the stomach. When the pressure is released from the nerve, the vital cur rent* pass on unhindered to the stomach, and there will -be no more distress or sickness there. R.

But all this concerning the League's constitution, interesting as it is affects us less than do its aim*; with its succes ses or failures by such instrumental ities as arc at its hand.

One of the first of these was the repatriation of about a million and a half of prisoners of war scattered throughout the contending countries at tfo close of the conflict. No voluntary organisation could have handled such a situation as these created. It was feared, indeed, that almost half their number would perish in the winter of 1920-21. But the League took hold: and by the hercu lean labors of Dr. Nansen, before the end of July of 1922 some 527,386 desti tute prisoner* of twenty-six nationali ties were set down at their own fire side*. Then there were the refugees of the same 1922nd year. A million and a half of these there were, practically penni less, most of them hardly having a fatherland.

CU» d Meeting Ontario Producer*' Association By the Courtland Delegate. : annual meeting of the Ontario ilk Producers' Association was held the Prince George HoteL Toronto on bruary 2nd, and 3rd. The meeting is opened at 10 o'clock the first day • an address by the president, Mr. ant, of Brantford. He thanked the cretary and manager. Mr. Griffin, so the editor and staff of the Milk Producer, for their efficient service during 1927. Mr. Plant referred to the fact that mergers of the large com panies are putting the dairy business into the hands of a few. Butter pro duction in 1927 has dropped to nine or ten million pounds from twenty-four million. The United States is taking a great part of our cream and milk products. In 1927 it amounted' to, 36 per cent, of all our exports. The Can adian people are consuming more of their own dairy, products every year.

The dairy business in Ontario, Mr. Plant said, produced more wealth every year than the mining in dustry. It was equal to_the provincial debt. Since so many of our great men came from the farms, our industry should be safeguarded and our boys and girls kept on the farms. The reason they do go is for more remuner ation. Our aim for 1928 should be for bette? cqws and to gain knowledge of them by testing, and then weeding out the unprofitable ones. Mr? Plant said that the late Mt. Stonehouse had pre dicted that the United States would in time absorb all our exportable dairy products for a distance of 200 miles from the border. By 1930 the popula tion of the United States would be near 129 millions. A demand for our cheese has grown much of late across the line. He thinks that a proper grading of cheese in our grocery stores would greatly increase the consump tion of our cheese at home. He also urged the organization of a local milk producers' association in every dairy community and then linking up with the central one. What the industry needs is united action. The executive of the Ontario Milk Producers' Association deemed it wise to send a delegate to the 51st annual convention of the New York State Milk Producers' and Dealers* Associ ation. which met in Albany recently, in the person of Mr. Beam of Woodstock ’ for the purpose of learning what he could ol conditions in New York state, where such a good market lor Cana dian milk products has opened up dur ing the last year. Mr. Beam, in giving a report of this convention, said in part: One thing they stressed wat to endeavor to stay out of anything polit ical. They discussed the good results of individual cow testing. One speaker said that in Wisconsin, in one associ ation, they found out that a production oi 109 pounds of butter fat per cow had lost the owner $29 per cow, while a production fjcr cow of 500 pounds ol butter fat had made a profit of $101 per cow. One man concluded that a cow was not worth keeping for him unless she produced K.000 pounds of milk in a year. A duplication of milk plants in the same territory had made high man ufacturing costs for them. One speaker said judicious advertising would do much to increase the consumption of milk and also the elimination of al! tubercular cows from the herds. Test ing for tuberculosis and not raising many heifers in New York state had necessled the going into Ontario and other states tor cows. One medical doctor said that milk at 20 cents per quart was one of the cheapest foods to buy and the farmer was not getting enough over production for profit. Three dollars per hundredweight for 3 per cent, milk with a 4 cent differen tial is paid in New York for milk for manufacturing, and the demand is greater than the supply.

Considerable discussion took place over who should bear the .cost of inspection before a man could ship to New York state, the producer or the company buying the product. One producer who sold his milk to the C.M.P. Co. for the U. S. market, paid $10 of his inspection bi!! and the com pany $5.00. The majority thought that since the company received the most benefit from the U. S. market, they should bear the full cost of herd in spection. Much discussion took place re the creating of an accredited area compos ing some ten or twelve counties in the eastern part of the province, by the Federal Government. They claimed that on the average in this territory that not less than 33 per cent, of the cows arc going down under the test, and in some instances it is much higher. Several thought that the ter ritory wa* too large. In Prince Ed ward Island, which is an accredited area, less than % to 1 per cent, went down under the test., The highest number in any area in New York state was 8 per cent.

He said at present you can get protein at 48 cents per lb. from alfalfa at $18 per ton, and it costs 6 to 8 cents per pound when you buy it in the form of bran and oil cake. Last year they filled their silos at Kemptville with clover at a cost of $2.15 per ton and corn ensilage cost $5 to $6 per ton. He said, fill your silos with sweet clover, but it mu»t be put in real green to keep, then you can put your manure on the meadows and root ground. Mr. Bell stressed the importance of judi cious breeding, weeding and feeding of dairy cows as a sure way to success.I The ipealcer told us he would rather I do without ensilage than he would do without roots for dairy cows. He ad- I vised root pulp as a substitute, but it I should be soaked. Sweet clover ensil age, he said, has twice the content of protein that com has. ' A representative of the Toronto de partment of health addressed the gathering. He seemed quite well pleated with the way the milk produc ers co-operated with him to make the city's milk supply safe. An official of the C.P.R. told u» that there arc now between eight and ten million dollars worth of milk and cream going annually to the United States, and he said it would grow. There are enough new mouths to feed over there yearly to absorb our total export sur- I plus. Before a factory can ship cream to the United States, he said. KM per cent, of its patrons must comply with their requirements. This is stopping many firm* from «hipping. which is a very unfortunate situation.

Witnesses state that another ve hicle had crossed directly, in front of him and that Mr. Barons' attention nuy have been centred on that ve hicle. Mr. Barons had been to the bank on business and wa* returning to his office. The accident occurred at 11.10 o'clock. The death of Arthur Barons comes as a terrible shock not only to the citizens of Springfield and vicinity but to county residents as a whole, as he wa* widely known throughout hi* several years’ stewardship on the County Council as reeve of Spring field. culminating in hi* selection as warden, and alio through hi* identi fication with fraternal societies. He was very prominent in Free Masonry, being a member of the local lodge, of the Scotish Rites of London and Hamilton and of the Hi-Ro Shriner'*' Club of Elgin and St. Thoma*.

Mr. Macdiarmid wa* greatly shocked, staling that he had juit been talking to a group of men in the city about Mr. Barons. In religion, Mr. Barons was an ad herent of the United church of Can ada. He was a member of the official board of the St. John's United church in Springfield.* The citizens of Springfield showed their appreciation of Mr. Barons in his election to the wadenship by tend ering him an impressive public ban quet. In turn Mr. Barons showed his pride in the village and its citizens by holding his banquet to the County Council in the village, a function at which many of Springfield's leading men attended as guests. Mr. Baron* was a man of genial nature who jxsssessed the art of mak ing friends and retaining their friend ship.

Fanny looked with troubled eyes at the little old lady. who. in her yellow flannel wrapper, curl papers. and spectacles, was so unlike the ideal envoy of Cupid. "1 did not think of that." said she "But it s your business to think of it? said Madame Adolphe. “He was here last night talking to me, and walking up and down the floor until il"s a marvel there isn't a rig-rag track worn in the pattern of the carpet. Upon my word, Fanny, It i something to be loved, as that man love. you." Fanny's head drooped—a soft color mounted into her cheek, as she sal her hands clasped on her knees. "I know it" said she -But-" "Thcn? said madame. in her dic tatorial way. "why don't you reward him for it?

How she longed for some way to sj»eak the word* that seemed to suffocate her in her effort to get them spoken. As she passed him. she lifted her piteous, pleading eyes to his face, in one last appeal. “She is grateful to me for having ceased to persecute her? he thought, as he closed the door behind her with a nod and a smile.

I am Mary Angelis, Elsie’s elder sister—and I have been an imposter from the very beginning. My only excuse is that I toyed Roy, the child I received from my dying sister’s arm*, and 1 feared that if they knew that I was not his mother, they would part him from me. and 1 could not endure that thought.
