Reeve Robert Scott explained that although Vaughan township was not going to buy a machine this year they were very much interested in the plan. The chemicals would be particularly effective in a field of chicory or wild‘ carrot. A demonstration of weed eradica- tion ,with the use of chemicals was held on the townline of King and Vaughan townships Tuesday morn- ing. Vaughan and King township councils attended! the demonstration along with Mr. Cocklburn, agricul- tural representative for York Coun- ty, John MacLeod, chief weed inspec- tor, and several farmers. The chem- ical used will destroy any kind of weed and are used especially on those weeds which grow another crop as soon as they have 'been cut down. The weeds in the demonstration plot will take a day to die Dr. Stevens explained but there will be no fear of them growing up again the same year. Several applications of the chemical for a few years will be ne~ cessary to completely eradicate the weeds.

The last game of the schedule for Richmond Hill will be played in Sut- ton tonight and the boys will be out to even the four-game series with Sutton. On Tuesday night of this week King City played here and Richmond Hill continued in their winning- ways defeating the visitors by an 11â€"3 score. D’CDell was on the mound for the locals and had‘ little diffi- culty throughout the seven inning affair. George Stong, pitching for Rich- mond Hill held the oppOSing team to two runs and kept their hits well scattered except for one inning when he experienced a little difficulty. He finally pitched himself out of this tight spot and went the route. All players for the Hill played heads-up ball and deserved their win. The final score was 8-2. Newmarket started a southpaw kid on the mound and the Hill boys got to him for six runs in the first three innings when Niles took over mound' duty for the Redmen. Richmond Hill B-A softball team finally hit their stride on Thursday night of last week and trounced the Newmarket Redmen for the first time this year. The victory came at a very opportune time as the local rboys were in third place in the group standing. THURSDAY, AUGUST 3rd, 1939.

Johnston, To- ronto; and one brother, Ross of San Diego, Cal. Most of Mr. Eckardt’s life was spent in Toronto, where he remain- ed after his retirement several years ago from a prosperous manufactur- ing business. But his spirit remain- ed on the land and he contributed generously to farm societies. Always proud of his farm connec- tion, Mr. Eckardt was born in Un- ionville, son of the late William and Sarah Eckardt, and descendant of early pioneers, who came from Pennsylvania to settle in Markham Township and district. His great grandfather, Philip Eckard't, settled in Unionville in 1793. A familiar figure at Richmond Hill Fair, King and Vaughan Plowâ€" ing Match, York Pioneers meetings, he took a deep interest in every- thing pertaining to rural life and’ was a generous donor to rural ac- tivities particularly throughout his native York County. Hundreds of homes boast an Eckardvt Tea Set- vice worn in some form of competi- tion. A. J. H. Eckardt, native son of York County, successful manufac- turer and well known for his gen- erous donations to Agricultural So- cieties and» Hort.cultural Societies, Plowing Matches and all other Agâ€" ricultural activities, died in Toronto Friday, July 28th.

As it was established that all four families were of equal financial and social status, it was decided that what Fate had ordained must be ac- cepted. With general acquiescence each husband then kept the wrong bride. It was only when the lbrfdes reach- ed their homes where the husbands had prepared a feast for the rela- ticns that the mistake was disc0vâ€" ered. Two Chinese brides were being conveyed in the traditional Sedan- chairs to their husbands’ homes. On the way they were overtaken by a storm, and brides and‘ bearers took shelter in a neighbouring tea-house. When they came out, the brides entered the wrong chairs. The bear- ers did! not notice the error, be- cause the brides were heavily veiled. Here is an amusing story which shows that, in spite of civil war and Westernization, the Chinese retain their ancient sense of the practical.

This picture is true to Kipling’s spirit and feeling about Britigh Imperialism. The heroism and loyalty of the men is stirrng and teaches a great lesson. This is truly an action packed melodrama in which the background of rugged cliffs and Wide rollin plains of India are used to advantage in bringing forth this mig ty epic of men who are called upon to keep order in the land where super. stition runs rampant.
