PAGE FOUR Miss Kresler, of Toronto, spent last week holidaying at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hobbs. We see that harvest has begun a- round this section. Several crops of wheat and alsyke have been cut. A- gain we had a succession of thunder- storms last week, which have made work with a binder very difficult. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Houck motor- ed to Guelph over the weekâ€"end. The storms which we had previous to last week did heavy damage to grain crops. Some crops were straighten-- ing favorably until the recent torrents of rain which resulted in being worse than before. Though several grain fields were flooded and the creeks were san to be over flowing their banks. We did not get the storms as heavy as in some parts of the provin- ce. The storm struck Ottawa district more severely. As the result of a hail storm grain crops were cut to pieces and completely ruined. The roofs of barns were lifted and silos blown down. We sincerely hope that the weather may clear up during the next few weeks to enable the farmers to get a head with their work. (ilad to say that Mr. Forrester is progressing as favorably as can be expected. Mr. and Mrs. Bob Salt and family, of Toronto visited Mr. and Mrs. Arth- ur Barnett on Sunday. A successful ice cream social was held in the school grounds last Tues- day evening under the auspices of the Young People’s Society of Melville Presbyterian church.

Ontario new I The Better Business Bureau Move- 'ment, which is Widespread throughout the United States and which is taking hold in Canada, has been influential Iin raising the standard of merchan- dising, preventing false advertising and unethical business practices, re- sulting in greater confidence betweeni buyer and sellar as well as in the pro- tection of investors from the activitâ€" ies of those individuals who prey up- on the public in the offering of secur- :ities of doubtful value and in many icases very little or no value at all. iThese‘individuals are very versatile in their method of operation, and in the use of high pressure methods, and have robbed trusting investors of many hundreds of millions of dollars during the past few years. The bett- er business bureaus have been instru- mental in curbing to a marked degree the operations of these doubtful indi- viduals, and in sending many of them to jail, while many others have been ’forced to close their offices and cease «bperations in the districts where the IBetter Business Bureaus have been )active. Better Business Bureau Has Been Established In Toronto As announced in the press a short time ago by the Attorney-General, he welcomes the formation of a Better ELGIN MILLS CREEP UP ON THE LEADING LANSING GIRLS Before one of the largest crowds of the season on Tuesday night at Lansâ€" ing Park, the Elgin Mills girls kept in the hunt for the second series of the Yonge Street Softball League when they whipped the Lansing girls for the first time this season by a score of 11 to 5. The opportune hitting beâ€" hind Lillian Burns steady pitching was a big factor in the outcome. The‘ fielding of Effie Jones on third base was the bright light of the game, turning in some very clever fielding which were labelled sure hits and was also a leading hitter. Olive Walmsâ€" ley was on the mound for Lansing, and for the first time this season was defeated, but it was not her fault, they were beaten, her team mates threw her down bad, and the Elgin had no trouble in travelling around the bases after the third innings, when they scored seven runs, while Lansing scored three in the third and two in the fourth. Elgin Mills girls looked like real champions on Tuesday night and they sure played good ball from the start of the game until the last batter was out. Every girl playâ€" ed good ball and it was hard to pick a star. The score by innings is as fol- lows:â€"' Elgin Mills â€"0 O 3 1 1 1 5 â€"11 Lansingâ€"O 0 3 2 O 0 0â€"5 The batteries â€" Elgin Mills â€" L. Burns pitching and Annie Walker catching.

Mr. and Mrs. Pressen, of Toronto, spent Tuesday with Mr. and Mrs. W. :\F. Nichols. About fifty of the young people from here were royally entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Robeson, Maple on Wed- ‘hesday evening of this week. The good time prepared by the host and hostess had its birth in the attendan- ce of our young people at the special services held in the United Church at Maple last winter. While Mr. and Mrs. Robeson are Presbyterians they appreciated the efforts of the Square people in helping to make these serv- ices a success. The beautiful grounds lsurrounded by banks of flowers were [electrically illuminated and provided an excellent spot for games and con- tests, which were heartily enjoyed by all, After two hours of out door "sports an excellent musical program 'was given in the drawing rooms, whi- ch were tastefully decorated for the occasion. In the guessing contest to estimate the number of cherries on a branch, Miss'Effie Gamble came first, her guess being seventy-five, the number was seventyâ€"six. In another i‘contest of skill, to pin a tail to a don- key, the contestant being blindfolded, er. Gordon Mortson received first prize. Deputy-Reeve Robson, of Vaughan was a good loser by pinning lthe tail midway between the feet. The host and hostess served ice cream, cake and iced drinks to satis- fy the inner man. The President of the Young People’s Society, Mr, Lyon ‘moved a vote of thanks for the kind- ness of Mr. and Mrs. Robeson in giv- ing‘ them such an excellent evening. The gathering closed with singing of some choruses. The young people were unanimous that they had a pro- !fitable and pleasant evening at Mr. and Mrs. Robson’s expense. They were also agreed that they even en- tertained in an exceptionally lovely home. Mrs. Homer Burke and Miss Verna are the guests of Mrs. Wilmot Brum- Well this week.
