Much improve­ ment was done to the grounds, such as levelling and resodding, and erec­ tion of permanent hydro poles, the en­ tire enclosure presenting a most in­ viting appearance. Tuesday, the open­ ing day, despite a heavy shower at noon, proved to be a better day than the previous year. It being children's day, several hundred juveniles were given complimentary admission. The exhibition space in the buildingc had been bought up two week* before the opening date. Many progressive merchants are realizing that display advertising is one of the best means of reaching the public's mind. As the judging occupied most of the opening day, the crowd centred their attention on the grand stand enter­ tainment. The opening number was S group of patriotic choruses, sung by public school pupils, under the direction of Mr. Arthur C. Ede, LT. CM., who conducted the weekly choral classes during the school term.

There were numerous entries in the Institute special prize classes, which were all offered to Tillsonburg public school pupils. The classes were for penmanship, construction of a kite and aeroplane, for boys; and for girls, pen­ manship and hand hemming. The I. O. D. E gave a special for the three best essays on "Canada." The cut flowers and potted plants were unusually fine, and the vegetables and hard grain were of noticeably good quality.The women's department of domes­ tic science contained a beautiful col­ lection of hand needlework, home cook­ cooking and canned fruit* and vege­ tables. The second day was ideal, and the Wednesday half holiday gave the at­ tendance a boost, making the total about 6.000. The crowds thronged the buildings and grounds all day. and the grand stand and bleachers were pack­ ed for the afternoon race program.

V. Tillson’s letter, which appeared in last week'* New*. Now Mr. Tillson's letter will be taken care of in due course and he has stated nothing with which the Council arc not familiar. In the meantime, io ob­ tain another angle on the situation, J* would ask the citizens to read Mr. Wynne-Roberts’ letter in another col­ umn. Neither Mr. Tillson’s letter nor this letter from Mr. Wynne-Roberts definitely clears the atmosphere, as there arc many points yet to be ex­ plained and discussed before the by­ law is voted on. In the meantime I would ask the citizens to believe that the council has not gone into this deal without obtaining the best engineering advice obtainable, not only Mr. Wynne-Roberts but also Mr. Storrie of Toronto, and are acting on their advice in asking the citizens to vote for the by-law on Sept. 10th, 1928. Before closing this short letter I would like to answer Mr. Tillson and The E. D. Tillson Estate Limited that they have no cause to worry about their taxef being raised when the town decides to purchase the waterworks system, a* it is specially stated in the by-law that the water rates must be sufficient to pay the principal and in­ terest on the debenture* a* well as pay the operating charges, etc. The tax­ payers as such and not as water-takers will be exactly in the same position whether the town owns the system or the Waterworks Co., except that in due time the taxpayers will own a very valuable plant, which will pay divi­ dends either directly in reducing taxes or- indirectly in reducing the water R.

August 19.—Three per­ sons lost their lives in Lake Erie at this summer resort this afternoon, and other? had narrow escapes from drowning, in a tragedy precipitated by a sudden vicious squall on the lake, causing an overwhelming undertow. The story Is one of grim tragedy re­ lieved by herioc rescue attempts, in one of which a Detroiter sacrificed his life in a gallant attempt to save a nun and a woman, and in another a St. Thomas man. after an exhausting struggle, rescued his wife from drown­ ing. The dead are: Roben Cornwall. 5357 Van Dyke avenue. Detroit, aged about 30. a vic­ tim of heart trouble while attempting rescue in the turbulent waters. Mrs. Freda Clark, widow, Claremount street. Detroit, aged about X. succumbed to heart disease when dragged out by undertow. ^Harold E. Price, grocer, Talbot street. St. Thomas, aged about thirty, drowned The bodies have all been recovered and it was revealed on medical ex­ amination that there was no water in the lungs of Mr. Cornwell and Mrs. Clark, leading to the theory of death due to a heart attack. Mrs. Walter Leslie, of St. was heroically saved by her a (solice constable on the St. Thomas force, when she narrowly escaped with her life when caught in the undertow.

H.ir^ Care of the Baby in Summer Health Service of the Canadian Medi­ Cal Association More babies are sick in summer than at other seasons. This may be pre­vented by proper care, which includes: Breast reeding—Every baby should be breast-fed by his mother. Breast milk is the best milk for babies. It contains all those things which the baby** body require*. It is fresh; it is free from germ*. Mothers should never wean their babies excepting when advised to do so by their phys­ icians. - • Safe Milk—If the baby is not breast­ fed, or after h^ has been weaned, he mutt have safe milk. Pasteurized milk should be procured or. if it cannot be bought, thx milk that is supplied should be boiled for three minutes, or it can also be pasteurized at home. The milk should be kept on ice. covered, and so protected from dirt, flies and insects. Water—The babv should be given plenty of water. He cannot ask for it. Bathing—The baby should have a bath once a day. In hot weather, an extra sponge-off is good. Fresh Air—The baby should practi­ cally live out-of-doors, on the porch, or in the yard. If he sleeps indoors, the window* should be wide open. Sunlight—The baby should have a sunbath every day, beginning with short exposures until the whole body is exposed to the benefit* of the sun’s Clothing—The baby's clothes should be according to the weather. Many children are over-clothed. On very warm days, all clothes except the dia­ per can be removed? Flics and Insects—Because they spread disease, all flies and insects should be kept away from the child. Netting should be used. In case of any digestive upset or ir­ regularity of the bowel movements, a physician should be consulted at once. At the beginning, such conditions' re­ spond promptly to proper treatment; it allowed to continue, the condition may become serious and difficult to eure.

Every few days lately there have been calls for alms from a variety of people. A deaf and dumb man was in town recently and presented his claim for charity in every place of business in town. It is not ' long since two colored canvassers for orphanages picked up a feu loose shekels each from the generous peo­ ple in this town. In the subscription records of these men there were sev­ eral contributors of a dollar each. Last week a man who has lost a leg made the rounds seeking and receiving assistance. Charity is a virtue and is *571 not only to be commended; it is worthy I of all kinds of encouragement. It: the case of the colored gentlemen it is doubtful if one of them represented an orphanage at all. It was stated the ob­ ject of his efforts was located at Chat­ ham and some local people who know something about Chatham say they never heard of a colored orphanage there.

It is possible to have a town ordinance placed on the statute book compelling beggars to get a license from the constable, but as most by­ laws are already honored more in the breach than in the observance this course would be useless and whatever action is taken must be left to the in­ dividual citizen.

James has had the un­ ique experience of celebrating his golden jubilee as editor and propriet­ or of The Bowman villc Statesman. The first twenty years of his active life were spent on a farm, then ten years as a public school teacher, and fifty years as a editor of The States­ man. That his mangaement was right has been evidenced by the constant improvements made in the paper, and increased circulation. His editorials under the heading “The Editor Talks" have given the paper leadership combined with a strong personality. His editorial com­ ments may well be considered the out­ standing and continuous feature of The Statesman for half a century, a» they have often been quoted in the leading pa|ters of the country and brought forth favorable comments on many occasions. A few years ago Mr. James, while continuing the editorial duties, handed over the business to his sons. Geo. W. and Norman, who in the conduct of the Statesman, are proving worthy successors to their re­vered father. Error in Judgment A Tniaonbarg Womm's Institute Meat. i.

This is particularly so since the tourist sea­ son has opened and speeders haled before county and city magistrates. The department is anxious to stop speeding by motorists onsthe streets and highways, but realizes that visitors from the United States sometimes violate the speed law out of habit, faster time being permitted in native respective states than Canada. Brought before magistrates here, they are often fined more heavily than the occasion requires, and and this is liable to injure the tourist traffic which the government has spent much thought and money tojoiter. their Robert Cornwell was on the shore dressed, but when he saw Mrs. Clark and Harold Price in difficulties he threw off some of his clothes and went into the rough water* to attempt their rescue. He, too, was caught in undertow and lost his life with the he was attempting to save. Exhausted Walter Leslie exhausted by his forts in saving his wife, was hi weak a condition to be able to go to the assistance of the three helpless in the undertow and they were car­ ried beyond assistance. Harold Price was swimming along with Mrs. Clark when both were drawn from shore, and it is believed that Price, though almost helpless himself, lost the op|K»rlunity to reach shore alone by endeavoring to save his companion. Harold Price was the brother of Mrs. Leslie. Londoner Tries Frank Barrett, of Ford & Barrett. London, was one of those who unsuc- • cessfully attempted the rescue of Mrs. Clark, and after the bodies were re­ covered Charles Cooper, of Penmans. Limited. London, who is an expert on first aid work, endeavored for an hour and a half to effect resuscitation. Others who aided were Dr. A. R. Post, of St. Thomas; Dr. E. Elliot, of Sparta; Dr. YoueO. of Aylmer; Dr. Crawford, of Detroit; Dr. Steele, of Ixutdon; Dr. McCrae, of Aylmer, and Mrs. Elsie Gerry traied nurse, of London. J. W. Wilson, owner of the Ormond Beach resort, stated later that there are no holes at the jioint where the deaths occurred, but that the water was too rough for bathers, al­ though smooth when the party left the beach. They were on a sand bar when an unusually large wave struck and carried them out. The lifeleses body of Cornwell drift­ ed in to shore after the tragedy and an hour later, while searchers were hunting foe the bodies of Mrs. Clark and Harold Price, their bodies were also washed up on shore. Robert Cornwall had taken a chill and gone into shore and dressed when lie saw that Mrs. Clark and Price were in difficulty. Going into the water in his excited Condition, and just recover­ ing from a chill, Cornwell died of heart disease, there being no water in his lungs when be was examined by the nhysicians who looked after the drowned and exhausted. Strangle Hold According to report, neither Mrs. Leslie nor Mrs. Clark could swim. Walter Leslie had to break, a Mrgngle. hold which J.’j wiic i.-u on him belort- he was able to bring her to shore. There were many ready and willing to help the survivors and attempt to resuce the drowning, but, as J. W. Wilson, of Ormond Beach said, things seemed to be against our efforts.” Dr. Colin Sinclair, coroner. Alymer, after 'visiting the scene and investiga- ing the circumstances, decided that an inquest would not be necessary. Harold Price is survived by his wife and two children—Donna, aged five, and Lois, aged nine months. He also leaves two sisters and a brother— Mrs. Jack Slater and Miss Madge and Murray, all of St. Thomas.

Aug. 17.—Thursday was Old Timers’ Day at Vienna, but one old Timer failed to appear, to the keen dis­ appointment gathered in posed visit, to appear is great investor, and a boyhood resident of this village. All day folk waited in Vienna, scrutinizing the occupant* of every automobile that rolled in in the hope that it contained the inventor. Everywhere one heard inquiries and conjecture*.' A dozen or more rumor* were afloat. They had it that Mr. Edi­ son had lost his way. that he was on his way, and finally a press photog­ rapher from Toronto got inside infor­ mation from some source that the great man had slipped into Vienna during the day. visited hi* old home and slipped out again with only two or three person* being aware of hi* pres­ ence. A village constable was spread ing a report about a > that had been sent or received by some newspaper reporter. •" Newspaper representatives were numerous, to say the least. Mr. Edison would have run into a veritable barrage of inquisitive scribes had he visited Vienna. Two Toronto papers sent special photographers, and when the famous Edison failed to appear, they proceeded to take pictures of all the ocal Edisons who would stand for be­ ing photographed. Cousin*—second, third, fourth and fifth of Thomas A. Edison—were interviewed and re- interviewed. The out-of-town scribes lingered around the old Edison home, now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Coombe.- Both Mr. and Mrs. Coombe were besieged. Had they had any fur­ ther word? Were they holding out something on the press at Mr. Edison's request? Other l.rwton There Although Thomas A. Edison failed to appear. Thursday, Vienna was not without its native sons who have gain­ ed prominence in science and inven­ tion. One is John W. Roberts of Sar­ nia. president of the Roberts Auto­ matic Connector Company. Limited, in­ ventor of a patent automatic coupler for railway cars, and the other is Henry A. Sheldon of Buffalo, N.Y, a camera expert who has been associated with the Eastman Company of Roches­ ter for many years. A modest chap is Henry Sheldon, curiously camera-shy. He didn’t care about being photograph­ ed, although he had miniature motion picture camera with him and took shot* of many .of the reunion events. Mr. Roberts confessed that it was the first time he had posed for a press photographer. Despite his eighty- three year*. Mr. Roberts is a* smart as the proverbial cricket and his memory is truly remarkable. He told~about the early day* in Vienna when it was the centre of the district, a lumber town with big scows plying up and down the Otter Creek from Port Burwell He told of the solid block* of buildings that lined both sides of the main street, of the many busy retail store* and business office*. He enumerated the principal industries of Vienna in those early day*. Then Vienna had two large sawmills, a big and busy grist mill, two tanneries, a brick yard, distillery, several shoe manufacturing shops, a n umbel of harness shops, tailor shops, two cabinet works, a pail factory em­ ploying many men. three wagon and blacksmith shops jointly in operation and a number of independent black­ smith shop*. Lumbering was the basic industry of the period and many of Vienna* male population had year- round employment in the great stretches of virgin forest that sur­ rounded the village, in the mills and lumber yards and on the scows that transported the lumber to other places. Many Brilliant Mind. Mr. Roberts is proud to be a native of Vienna: he is proud of the many brilliant minds that the village' has given the world According to Mr. Robert*. Alexander Graham Bell in­ ventor of the telephone, lived in Vienna as a boy and was the first from the vil- duced a yellowed newspaper dipping telling of the death of the little girl who had made that floral presentation 52 year* before. There were tear* in Professor Baker's eye* when he read the dipping and explained that it had been sent lo him by his mother and so carefully preserved. The little girl was the daughter of Dr. Tweedalc, a physician of Vienna at the time, who later prac­ ticed in St. Thomas. Professor Baker told of his intro­ duction to Vienna as a teacher and of the kindly and encouraging reception he received from the late George Thornton, father of Mr*. McAllister, wife of Vienna’s reeve. Mr. Thornton was a member of the Vienna school board in 1870 and it was on hi* invita­ tion that Professor Baker came to Vienna. He told how Mr. Thornton took him to the school and introduced him io the pupil* and gave him sound advice about the maintenance of dis­ cipline. Professor Baker's predeces­ sor in the school had not been partic­ ularly successful in controlling the scholars. “ Many of those who attended Thurs­ day's school session was moved to tear* when a visiting woman was intro­ duced to Professor Baker as a little girlable was rpread- duced lo ProleMOr Baker a* a little girl wireless message he hld known he in chargf on account of principal and interest on said debenture*, which said amount Notice Take notice that the above copy of a proposed By-law, which has been taken into consideration and will be taken into consideration and finally passed by the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the Town of Tillson­ burg. in the event of the assent of the Electors being obtained thereto after the expiration of one month after the first publication of the same in The Tillsonburg News, the date of which first publication is the 23rd day of August.

Mr Robert* related. "Then there wa* Tom Edi­ son, another immortal who spent his boyhood in this good little town. John Teall of Tillsonburg. is another Vienna boy. He distinguished himself as a railroad builder, constructing the road that now operates from Port Burwell to Ingersoll and only recently identi­ fied with the Port Burwell-London railway project. Mr. Robert* named Other schoolmate* who have turned their talent* to science and in­ vention. Other* have manifested ex­ ecutive ability and have succeeded in the world of trade and commerce. Throughout the world, native son* of Vienna occupy places of prominence and respect and their advice and judg­ ment is sought because of its soundness and progressiveness. Mr. Roberts en­ gaged in t he furniture and undertak­ ing business a* a young man. following it till 1891 when he entered the building and contracting business. In 1909 he retired from that business to devote his time to mechanical conitruction. The result is that he has perfected an automatic steam and air connector for train service, a safety device that should eliminate much of the danger involved In trainmen going between railway cars. His invention ha* been te»ted by railroad companies, and ac­ cording to Mr. Roberts, is very much of a success. Mr. Robert* has a model of his in­ vention at Vienna and at the Old timers' concert in the community hall Thursday evening, he exhibited it and explained the principle on which it works.Th. Old Timo Conwrt Old Timers' Night was an unqualified success. Old boys and old girls who have been away from Vienna for year* and years contributed the program. What a variety of entertainment it w as I Men and women who sang in the village choirs again raised their voices in old time harmony. The wits of the old days were there, as witty as ever, convulsing the audience with their droll remarks, their anecdote* of other day*. The Old Time concert was truly a highlight of Old Home Week. The second Old School meeting of the week, held Thursday morning, was an­ other highlight, with Professor Alfred Baker of Toronto University, teacher in Vienna In 1870 and 1871, in charge of the das* Professor Baker proved beyond peradventure that schoolmas­ ters are not devoid of sentiment when he produced photograph* of pupil* of Vienna contcmpararie* of half a cen­ tury ago and also the withered bouquet of flower* oL the school In his joy in meeting the little girl, now an elderly women.

They did enjoy them. M>. Tremaine had announced that he was going out of town, and had bade "Good-by and Godspeed” to Herbert, so that Flor­ ence was relieved from his obnoxious attentions, at least, and Mr. Hamilton, instead of keeping Herbert constantly beside him as had been his custom of late seemed to through the young people togther, and give them every oppor­ tunity of being in each other’s com­ pany,—an act of considerate kindness which had all the effect he desired of inspiring them with confidence in him­ self in the present, and thereby mak­ ing them, in the future, his easy vic­ tims. ■ The two lovers Would have been happier than they had been many a day, had for the heavy cloud of approaching separation that hung over them. But they were young, and when was youth without hope? Through the mists of present sorrow they looked forward to the bright sunshine of happy love and union in that blest Future, when parting and separation should be no more.Both had written to Helen entreating her to come to them for these parting days, at any cost. "If Mrs. Gordon is so unreasonable and unkind as to refuse you an oppor­ tunity to bid your brother farewell”— wrote Florrie—“leave your position, I beg of you, dear Nell, and, until we can find you a better one, remain with me." And Herbert had added, by way of poscript, “If you do not, and cannot do this, my dear sis, let me know, and I will steal a day from my sweetheart to pass with you." But his last proposition Helen would not hear of."I would not, for the world, lake Cu from poor Florrie," she wrote ck. “She feels unhappy enough al­ ready at the prospect of your parting, I am sure. Besides we could have no comfort here. I would rather have one day with you in New York than a week here. So I will take the ‘one day’ if Mrs. Gordon consents to give me. Do not look for me until the ev- ning before you sail, howver, or pos­ sibly the morning of the day itself; may it prove as fortunate a day to you, my darling brother, as it must needs be an unhappy one; the first day of a new and bright career that shall lead you, in the end, to happiness I”How she wept over and kissed this letter, knowing that the promise it contained was a lie—that she could not, and dared not, meet her brother’s eyes—that this was the only farewell she could take of him—can be better imagine by those who know her miserable story than de­ scribed by me; with her own hand she mailed the letter that was to prevent Herbert’s coming, and then, upon that same night, while all the rest of the Gordon household slept, she wrote to him that other letter which was to lie in her desk, until—in the event of her death, or any unforeseen evil—it • should reveal to him all the truth. Well did she know—she who had > loved so fondly—well did she know that, when the day of parting cape, these two sorrowing ones would be too i much absorbed in their personal grief I to miss a sister's farewell. That Her­ bert would think of her, would won­ der at, and be pained by her absence she was sure, but it would be such a little pang compared to that of a lov­ er's parting! And at that last hour, Herbert would have neither inclination nor time to come to Gifftown. She drew a long breath of relief at the thought of having escaped him. even while her tears fell fast over that part­ ing without farewell without good-by?" This question was on the lips and in the thoughts of both. “They must be strange people, these Gordons, if they refused her a day's holiday at such a time,” Herbert said. “My mind is uneasy, Florrie. I ought to have gone to see the child before now—but she seemed to shrink from any one visiting her. I fear they arc unkind to her. Oh, I wish I had gone to her myself I” “I will go, dear," said Florrie, com­ forting him. “Don't worry about it; I will go to her to-morrow, and if she is not happy, will make her come home with me. Set your heart at rest for Helen, dear; she is my sister, too." What wonder that Herbert's heart did find rest being so sweetly com­ forted! And besides, as Helen had calculated, he had his nearer, deeper, more particular grief, to drive anxiety for a sister—however dear—from his breast. The hour of parting came; and the "Saucy Jana," with all her qanvas spread, danced on the water like a bright sea-bird, eager to take flight. Herbert, and his friend. Dr. Searle, who was the only passsenger, stood surrounded by a group of kindly friends, none more kind, none more warm and hearty in well-wishing, than Mr. Hamilton—who looked on, well pleased at this the first step toward the .........

A bitter parting! If the last kiss and the last embrace arc bitter to give and receive when no curious eyes are looking on, what arc they in the cold or inquisitive crowd, when the heart's anguish must be kept down, lest it be­ tray the heart's secret;—Florence stood firm, and brave, and very pale; her soft arms clung about her lover’s neck, in that last, permit­ ted embrace; she whispered on his lips —“I will—see Nell—to-morrow"—and then she felt that another word would choke her; she submitted to be plac­ ed in her father's arms—keeping her soft eyes on her lover’s anguished face until the very last and impatient with the fast-gathering tears that blinded her, she stood there, not know­ ing that her father's arm sustained |*aa> ♦all had forms upon her decks seemed mere specks, and her fair white sails might almost have been taken for the wings of some great white bird. And she knew nothing except that one of those dark specks was her lover, and that those swift white wings were bear­ ing him away. All the world had dwindled down, for her, to that one poor ship. The crowd around her— slowly drifting and melting away; her father—silent and pitying, and Very patient with the pain he himself had caused; her own desolate exist­ ence, her own bereaved and aching heart—she had forgotten, and was oblivious of them all; There, over the waters yonder, was a ship, freighted with her love, her hopesc, her happi­ ness, her very life—she knew naught beyond it. There she stood, gazing, un­ til the white wings melted into mist, and her father's pitying tone -~J gentle touch aroused her then turned and looked blankly into his face. “We will go home, my darliing," said Mr. Hamilton, soothingly.

He felt constrained to speak those words of comfort—impelled to it by the unutterable anguish in her eyes; she repeated them after him—• "He will come again!" she breathed, rather than spoke. “He will come again I" Then, in a sudden burst of sorrow—“Oh, God I let- him come again I" And. before he could stretch forth ____ ______ _______ ____ * hand to save her she.fell, in a dead How could she let her brother go faint, at his feet. for not been fulfillment of his plans.

These two poor parting lovers were not selfish—their hearts were yet too young and warm for that. “What can have detained Helen? CHAPTER XX News of Helen There was no journey to Gifftown next day for Florence. The girl was ill.; prostrated by grief, and confined to her bed by a violent nervous head­ ache; and yet—with the strange versity that is often a mark of form of nervous suffering—her and aching brain refused that which would have been healing, persisted in going over the problem of Helen’s absence from that part­ ing scene, over and over again. “She ha* not seen Herbert since his last voyage at all," she mused, as she tossed restlessly—"and then to let him go away for three long years—oh„ my darling! my darling!—for three long dreadful years, without good-by How could she? And ‘she had promised to come! She said Mr*. Gordon had giv- given her that one day—oh, there must be something wrong! Why am I ill to-day; unable to keep my pro­ mise to my darling. Helen’s conduct has certainly been strange ever since I came home; she would not come to me, she hardly every writes—what can be the reason?" She had been too much engaged between her two lovers—the favored and the detested-one—to pay much attention to the subject before; but now—now, when she felt as if Her­ bert had given Helen into her care, it struck her forcibly. Undoubtedly Hel­ en had avoided both Herbert and her­ self, but why? She turned her aching head upon the pillow in a weary effort to escape that ever-recurring question—“Why ? " "To-morrow I will go to her, and find out,” she thought. "She will not refuse me her confidence when we meet face to face. Herbert is right. We should have seen to this before; she has been left to herself too long. Ah, me! We were selfish in our happi­ ness, Bertie and I—we forgot one who had no love to cheer her life! Poor, dear Nell! And she is so sensitive and proud, poor child—she may feel that we have neglected her. But I make her amends—to-morrow!” Alas! that "to-morrow!" That on which we arc to do so much;— which plays so sad and strange a part in human lives. Wisely was it said— "To-day is the accepted time.” Few wrongs shall ste their righting in this world, while the Wronger puts off amendment until "to-morrow." Florence had done no wrong, how­ ever, and therefore the morrow and horror it may have in store—shall bring her no remorse. As night came down, and the silence and the dark­ ness soothed her pain, she fell asleep at last and dreamed of the wild sea, still troubled by the memocjt-ot last night’s storm, and tossing angrily around the ship that held her lover. But no drcam showed her those same wild waves ravening over Helen's senseless form;—nor the bed of death, aboard the “Saucy Jane" where the hapless mother slumbered by her babe: and, though she had thought of Gifftown ere she fell asleep and murmured to herself—"I shall go to-morrow!”—no vision of a fisher's nets, in which a hat had caught—or of a wide, flat beach, on which a wet cloak lay, hint­ ing at an awful story—nor of a girl's fair body with long golden hair,— for which, through all that night the per- this sick rest and will date WRIGIEYS and she 'ANDY PAW P.K CHEWING, SWEET A treat in the Peppermint-flavored augsMoatcd Jacket and another to the Peppermint-flavored gum indde- utmo- veto* fas lo«->dng delight 3 h.indy packs 5C ex a fiihermen kept sharp watch—no vision of these things disturbed her slum­ bers. Sleep on, gentle Florence, and forget for awhile your own sad ach­ ing heart.—there will be time enough for all these things—“to-morrow!" The morning dawned bright and clear, and the girl came down to the breakfast table with a pale face, in­ deed, but yet with one from which she strove to banish the marks of grief,— “for dear papa's sake; papa, who had been so ' ’ sympathy with her sorrow.' bent down to kiss him—for he wa* seated, and reading the newtpaper* when she entered—Mr. Hamilton looked up quickly into her face, and his own brightened as he saw her effort to be brave, and realized how good a thing it wa* (for hi* plans) that she should, thus early, make this resolute stand against her sorrow. He drew her swet face down, and kissed it fondly, but—save-by an inquiry as to her headache of the night before­ made no sort of reference to her be­ reavement. "My little girl looks like herself again," he said, qulcty. “I am glad of that, for I have a letter from Mr. Tremaine this morning telHnn me he has returned, and will call to-day. _ I am engaged in important business with Tremaine, my dear, and am particular about having you show him some at­ tention. I should have felt disappoint­ ed had you been ill, or unable to see him when he called, you know." And he went on calmly reading his l>apcr again, as if he had no other in­ terest in her reception of Tremaine than that which wa* expressed in hi* words. The girl—pouring out his coffee thoughtfully, hesitated awhile, not knowing how to tell him of her intended trip to Gifftown. “I hope it would not disappoint you very much, dear papa, if I ihould be out when Mr. Tremaine, calls to-day. I'm afraid 1 can't avoid it,"," »he said, affectionately—and then she told him about Helen, and her own anxiety in her regard. “And 1 shall know no rest or peace until I know the reason of her absence and silence, papa,” she went on. “I hoped I should have had a letter—some word of explanation, to kind, and shown so much As she but I have none. I want to go Gifftown, at once, dear papa, if you please, and find out the truth for myself."The place was at the distance of a journey of an hour and a .half, per­ haps; it would be easy for Florence to return that same evening, unless her friend should urge her to remain. This further indulgence might be politic, Xk. Hamilton thought; all tenderness shown her in these, her sorrowful days, would bring forth a fruitful harvest of gratitude and con- findencc by and by. "And besides, she has no one to talk to about her lost love here," he mused, "and we all know what sometimes not "and we all know what comes of 'the grief that doe* speak.’ Let her unburden her heart to this girl friend and khc'll forget the sooner. I'll let her go!" So he consented—pretending mourn a little at not having her to tertain Tremaine. "He likes female society; and important to me to please him," sighed, and fell to reading his paper again. Suddenly he uttered a cry, and al­ most let the paper fall, looking up meanwhile, blankly at Florence. "It was Gifftown you said?” he ask­ ed her. “Then it must be the same, indeed! Good God! Helen Gare! that child, whom we knew, who ha* sat at this table many a time!—oh, how horrible I”And then in answer to her anxious looks and entreaties—for she wa* shocked and terrified at his words— he read as follow*:, "Mysterious disappearance of a beautiful young girl. Is it a case of suicide? “Mis* Helen Gare—a young lady who has. for some time past, held the position of governess in the family of Mrs. Gordon, of Gordon House—has been missing from her home since the evening before last, and it is almost beyond doubt that she has been drowned, though whether by accident or design it is difficult to de­ termine. The unfortunate young lady was last seen upon Black Rock Point, in company with a man who wore a full black beard, rather a late hour on Tuesday evening. Shortly afterward, and during the storm which raged that night, piercing screams were heard by several persons living in the vicin­ ity of the Point. On the following morning Mis* Gare’* hat was found, caught in *ome fishing nets; and a cloak which she wdre when *he left Gordon House wa* cast up upon the beach by the tide. The unfortunate girl herself ha* not been seen again, and, as she i» known to have been despondent of late, it is feared that she committed suicide.- A lover’s quarrel is supposed to have been the cause. It is, however, possible, that to cn- standing in so exposed a place in a gale of wind, her fluttering cloak and garments may have caused her to lose her footing, and fall accidentally into the sea. No doubt is entertained, however, that she has been drowned, and watchers are stationed along the shore to look for the body, which will probably come in with to-night's or to-morrow's tide. Miss Gare was a remarkably beautiful and very aimable KI, and her untimely and mournful c has cast a cloud of sorrow over our entire community." As Mr. Hamilton finished reading he laid the paper down, and met his daughter’s horrified incredulous gaze; his own aspect at that moment was scarcely less troubled and startled than hers. He uttered an exclamation of pity and grief. “It is horrible I I can’t realize it. It bewilders me!” he cried. “Helen dead!” Florence interrupted him with a cry. “It is impossible! There is some mis­ take, papal It can't Jig our Helen. Herbert’s own darling sister, whom he gave to my care!" She had reached over for the paper and scanned the account. "Oh, God! It is Helen! It is!" she cried, and broke out weeping bitterly. At that instant the door-bell rang, and presently Mr. Tremaine, a privi­ leged visitor in that house, was an­ nounced and entered. He was look­ ing pale and harassed, and fatigued, but as soon as Mr. Hamilton explained the cause of their grief he made haste to volunteer his serviccse. "Either to accompany you to the spot." he said to Mr. Hamilton, "or to go in your place, you being so much engaged, and make all proper inquiries and arrangements. Let me see—Giff­ town. Now, where is that?” Mr. Hamilton explained. “It is quite a famous fishing-place/* said he; “I should think you would have been there Tremaine." Mr. Tremaine protested earnestly— so earnestly that Florence wondered. "Never was their in my life 1 assure you, but that's no reason why I should not go now, in your and Miss Florrie'* service. Anything that I can do for her!—I am only sorry that this is so sad an occasion, so sad to her. Giff­ town! 1 shall find it alright. Now. when is the next train?" There’: " ’ Hamilton, go by it until this dreadful came—” "1 shall go by it still!” cried cnee, springing from her chair, bert left his sister to my care, will make-these inquiries in person! I am very glad to have a gentleman­ cither papa or yourself, Mr. Tremaine —to accompany me and assist me, of course. I will go and get ready at once—there is no use in sitting down and weeping for poor Nell, while I can be up and doing her some service—I can weep afterward. Oh, I was wrong and cruel to neglect her so! 1 will get ready at once, Mr. Tremaine, you shall take me with you!" Mr. Tremaine's pale face had come suddenly ashen gray; he down in a chair, with the look one at eleven," said Mr. ’’Florrie was intending to news Flor- “Hcr- and I he legitimate and harmless purposes; I have been there for such purposes—the fishing, the bathing, of course. But I must needs say—and protest—that I didn’t know the place; and now—if Florence meets Amy Gordon, the cat will be out of the bag. And Florence is just the high-flown, romantic »ort of.girl to despise a falsehood, how­ ever trifling. I've been a fool!" The situation—trifling and insignifi­ cant a* it appeared—confounded him; he could tee no way of smoothing the matter over, no plausible excuse f— his own want of truthfulness; and yet, he was, by nature and habit, an un­ scrupulous man; a man who had faced some terrible situation* in hi* time, and, either bv fraud, force, cunning, or violence, had always been able to conquer adverse circumstances, and make hi* own cause good. Strange, that he should find himself thus cowed and unnerved before two innocent young girls. Hi* usual cool self-pos­ session had forsaken him; and hi* own secret realization that thi* was so. added to his discomfiture and alarm. He wiped the dew of a nervou* terror from hi* brow, with an unsteady hand. “What the devil ails me?” he muttered to himself. "I've been in far worse hole* before and squirmed out of them; what does it matter, any­ way? Perhap* I »han’t meet Amy at all; or perhaps *he’ll not speak of meeting me that night, before Flor­ ence at any rate; if *he docs—why I shall have to make some excuse, and Florence will think I lied, and that’s all about it. Pshaw! This cursed busi- nes* has unstrung my nerves—that’s the whole truth about it." Incidentally he explained as much to and be- sat and movement of a man who must fail if he attempts to stand for a minute longer. Both father and daughter looked at him in surprise; he forced himself to smile, speaking with diffi­ culty as from parched and fevered lips. "I am not well." he said to Mr. Ham­ ilton. “A little wine? Yes. Thank you. It will pass away. 1 am subject to these attacks of late—over-anxiety and work. I think. I—thank you, I am all right again. Did I understand you to say, Miss Hamilton, that you would accompany me to Clifftown Beach? Surely not. There may be a terrible sight—a dreadful shock to your nerves.“I am goiing," said Florence, with firm resolve, "if the sea casts up its dead at my feet! Nothing you can say- can alter my resolution, Mr. Tremaine. If you arc going to Gifftown at eleven, as you have said, I will go with you!" CHAPTER XXI Treading on Dangerous Ground. The eleven o'clock train—arriving at Gifftown at half past twelve- brought among it* New York passen­ gers, Florence Hamilton and Tremaine. They had taken Mr. ________ z _ the journey almost in silence, both being absorbed thought; over the fortunate strangely in anxious and sorrowfull Florence musing painfully probable history of her un­ friend—*o early and so dead—while Mr. Tremaine found his thoughts sufficiently occu­ pied by the unpleasant quandary of having told a delibcrte He—which would probably soon be found out and not knowing how to get out of it “What possessed me to say I had never been at Gifftown?" he mused. “Lie* are always dangerous, and an unnecessary He, like that one, is ridicu­ lous, into the bargain. I might have been to Gifftown Beach for the mast his companion, for he had an uncom­ fortable notion—as once or twice he caught her eyes glancing curiously at his face that she wa* wondering at its ghastly paleness. "J was oyer this road a few night* ago," he said, with a sickly smile, "and on unpleasant business. I was a good deal further up the line than we are going now, though." He forgot having told her that he knew nothing ox Gifftown or it* location. “The business I was engaged upon is likclv to prove fnr a heavy loss to me—a money loss. I mcan. You ladies don't understand or take much interest in such matters, though. But I have gone through a good deal of anxiety, and—and hard work, of late, and I feel that it i* tell­ ing on me."And he wiped his brow, with the same tremulous hand, once more. _ Florrie bowed coldly. Mr. ~ maine's business affiair* had no pos­ sible interest for her. He might have spared himself the explanation. If there had been curiosity in her eyes, when they glanced at him, it had not been for him—her thought* were all of Helen.“I think our best plan will be to go straight to Mrs. Gordon's house,” she said with, decision, for she had thought the subject over thoroughly. "I shall gain *ome information there, I think. Mr*. Gordon may be able to tell me things that have not crept into the newspaper*."Mr. Tremaine acquiesced by a mur­ mur and a bow—he, could scarcely trust himself to speak,—“to Mrs. Gor­ don’s house!" True, he might have guessed *he would go there; and yet (Continued on page 12) * Tre- CANADIAN NATIONAL EXHIBITION TORONTO IMPRESSIVE AND SPECTACULAR OPENING DAY CEREMONIES FRIDAY, AUGUST 24th Right Hon.

"And be ye kind one to another." For several yean we have paid occasional visits to an Ontario town in which one of the' best-known characters is a helplessly crippledJad who is pushed around the streets in a wheeled chair. This lad is absolutely dependent upon other boys of about his own age for the means of getting about So faithful are these boys in the performance of their worthy task that the crippled boy is found at every baseball game, parade, or anything else of interest to boys. Watching closely, we failed to see one instance of indifference, or unkindness on the part of the other boys towards their weaker fellow. It is a striking example of the fulfilment of the injunction of the Apostle: "Be ye kind one to another." One of the moit practical fruits of Christianity is kindness. Yet. how often Christian people are put to shame fcy those who make no profes­ sion of Christianity at all Whatever the reason may be, the world is richer for,the spirit of kindness and sympathy awakened by the presence of pain and affliction. Indeed, this may be one of the reasons. The absence of misfor­ tune, with the consequent lack of op­ portunity to exercise the virtues of lov­ ing ministry, (flight mean for us infinite loss, instead of gain.

EMMONS AT BOTH SERVICES HEAR THESE MESSAGES SONG SERVICES High Prices are Often Imaginary Peat fuel i« the only natural fuel apart from wood, which occurs in economic quantities in the province* of Ontario and Quebec. The Depart­ ment of Mine* up to the present time has surveyed, (napped and sampled over 25U.U00 acres of peat bog*, strategically located with respect to transportation and population in these two province*. The total content of Standard peat fuel which can Ik manufactured from the peat in this area is e»timated to be contiderably over 250,(00.010 tons. The Dominion Fuel Hoard, in it* interim report, recommended the use of peat where it can be produced and supplied econo­ mically-. as a mean* of decreasing de­ pendence on imported anthracite. In order to demonstrate the fca»i- bility of manufacturing peat fuel on an economic ba»i* under conditions obtaining in Canada, the Dominion Government decided in 1927 to con- ktruct a peat manufacturing plant at Alfred, Ontario. " _ recommendation* and plan* of Joint Peat Committee. The . which was completed in May. 1928, is practically automatic, and when in normal operation will have a capacity oi 2U,(KKI ton* of standard peat fuel, during a »ea*on of 100 days, operating 22 hour* per day. On account of the late spring and the excessive rainfall 1 since that time, manufacturing opera- ' tion* were seriously retarded, but not­ withstanding the»e drawbacks it is ex­ pected that about 10,000 tons of fuel ; will Ik available for »ale at the ter­ mination of operation*. Effort* will be made to market the fuel in an area ; within a (fl-mile radius of the peat . plant. It is expected that a large por­ tion of the output will be consum- i ed in the immediate locality, that is. . within twenty mile* of the plant, and ' that motor truck deliver)- can be em­ ployed for this business. ThV citie* of Montreal and Ottawa. however, have been good markets for |xat fuel and a portion of the production will be *old in these citie*. During the present summer it it ex­ pected that a peat manufacturing plant now* in course f erection on a bog near St. Hyacinthe Quebec, will be manufacturing peat fuel for *ale in the vicinity of the plant and in Mon­ treal The product i* the same as that manufactured at Alfred; the method employed however, the hydro- pi at procc**. i* radically different. Al Alfred the peat is removed from the liog by mean* of an automatic excava­ tor. then macerated, spread on the ground, and cut into block* for dry­ ing; but at St. Hyacinthe the peat will be excavated by means of powerful hydraulic jet*, the hydraulicking serv­ ing the two purposes of excavating and macerating. The resultant mix­ture of peat and water is then distribu­ ted by pipe line* into shallow basin* where, after it has been dried by the sun until it hold* together, it is cut up into block*. The capacity of this plant when in full operation will Ik in the vicinity of 15X00 tons annually. Peat i* an exceedingly valuable auxiliary fuel for heating in the airly spring and late fall and is especially adapted for open fireplaces and kitch­ en range*. It is not equal to anthra­ cite in heating value and is, there­ fore. not suitable for burning in fur­ naces during severe weather, but it can be burned throughout the heating season in Quebec type heater* and heater* designed for burning wood. While peat is more bulky than coal or coke and long rail hauls should, there­ fore. be avoided, it is nevcrthelc** estimated that about 20 per cent of the domestic fuel requirement* of the province* of Ontario and Quebec could be met by peat. Prepared under direction of Dr. Charles Camsell Deputy Minister of Mines and Chairman. Dominion Fuel , Board. to the the plant, The average woman fails to appre- , ciate the fact that many foods looked i upon at certain seasons as expensive, ' are really reasonable in price and , sometimes actually cheap. i Price is only relative, and we should i remember this when we arc market­ ing. If wc don't, we arc likely to fly ] off on a tangent and come home with- , out some of the things we need, bring- i ing in their place certain foods that ' wc arc at present eating too freely. Let us take oranges and present , time to prove our point. This fruit is < selling today at a price that many women look upon ar- rather high. ' Probably here and there a woman is buying in smaller quantities or not at all, waiting for the price to come down to last year's level Is she act­ ing wisely or even intelligently when she takes the stand? Five cents for an orange may ap­ pear high to the women who purchas­ ed oranges last year for thirty «x forty cents a dozen. But how about figuring upon size before deciding that the price is too high. Wc do not hesitate to pay five cents (or a very small portion of butter, beefsteak or walnut meat—and wc are so accus­ tomed to paying from sixty cents to a dollar a pound for such foods that wc hardly think of the price. Place an orange beside five cents’ worth of porterhouse steak, or five cents' worth of many of our other staples, and we will see that even at sixty cents a dozen, oranges arc not par­ ticularly high. Or figure this so-called high price of ours by the pound. Oranges selling at sixty cents a dozen, probably average about three to the pound­ brining our prices per pound down to fifteen cents. This is interesting, isn't it? Here wc have paid sixty cents a pound for butter when it was not particularly plentiful every year since wc first started to market and wc rarely com­plain. We pay forty, fifty, sixty or ; even seventy cents a pound for meat— and still wc keep comparatively quiet. But when we are paying fifteen i cents a pound for oranges wc begin to shout "expensive." Price is merci) i relative. Instead of paying a high . price for oranges today, wc arc real!) paying a price that is a little higher than a very cheap price paid when the crop was much heavier and the de­ mand not so great. No! There is no argument by bring­ ing up the fact that sixty cent meat is natural because it comes from the middle west and it takes a steer a long time to go from calfdom to beef- dom. Your breakfast orange probably comes from California, from a tree that had l»ecn growing for years be­ fore the steer’s mother was born. We merely get into a rut by com­ paring prices when they arc high with prices when they are low, and not realizing that climate, crop, rain­ fall. packing, selection of quality fruit and a dozen and one other things en­ ter into the high price that nuj pre­ vail at a certain time. To a great extent we should forget price and think more of health. The minute we do this we will be able to save enough on foods that wc arc now eating too heavily, to purchase all we need of the foods that wc should eat more than we now do. Most of us eat too heavily of car­ bohydrate and protein foods that have an acid reaction in the stomach, and not heavily enough of fresh fruits and green vegetables—particularly the leaf vegetable. See to it therefore that expensive carbohydrates and proteins are purchased in leas quantity—«nd with the money saved you can pur­ chase more liberally of the desirable balancing foods, even though they may be selling at a little higher figure than they were a month or a year ago. See to it that you eat heavily of green vegetables and fresh fruits of all kinds. Drink milk if you like it. Drink lemonade when thirsty and help to reduce the acidity of your body— for strange as it may seem, lemons like oranges have a decided alkaline effect when taken into the vystem. Drink plenty of pure cold water. Eat salads, fruit cups, light desserts. Sleep. Exercise. Do these things and you need not worry about the high price of some special fruit or vegetable. You will save enough on other things to con­ tinue your use of the food that im­proves your health. If you don't. youU surely save more than enough by the elimination of doctor’s bills. Food is expensive when you do ndt get enough of it, or when you eat it too heavily. Don't worry overmuch about the price you pay. One food. August 20th, 1928 Mr. Donald F. Gibson, Solicitor, Tillsonburg, Ont. Dear sir:—The letter that appear­ ed in the Tillsonburg News of August 16, 1928, over the signature of Mr. E. V. Tillson with reference to the matter of the Town acquiring the Waterworks, contains some statemenu which require an answer and in con­ formity with your request, we sub­ mit the following observations :— 1. It is stated that the present sup­ ply of 605,000 gallons of water per 24 hours (accepting Mr. Tillson's figures) is just about equal to the total demand in a dry season, but it cannot be ob­ tained during the summer months. The population of Tillsonbug is about 3300 therefore, is equal to at least 188 gal­ lons per head daily. The industrial use of water is relatively small and the domestic consumption must be very high. In fact, it is evident that it is over twice what it should be. It ap­ pears to be about the same io'Spring. Winter. Autumq, and Summer, which is an unusual condition. The abnormal use of water has the effect of reducing the pressure and costing more per consumer. If, and when additional supply of water is required, it can be obtained at reasonable cost, without resorting to deep wells in the geological forma­tions referred to. 1 2. Whether the Waterworks owned by the Company or by municipality, the quality of the water must be above suspicion. There is no doubt that the supply from shallow trenches on Annandale Farm, subject as they arc to the farmers rights to tillage and fertilizing, would inquire serious consideration. The Provincial Board of Health would sooner or later require this water to be chlorinated at least as a measure of precaution. The situation on Annandale Farm a with respect to volume and quality of water, impelled us'to recommend the release of the Farm. It is reputed, that the supply from wells V and K constitute the larger portion of the water in­ cluded under the name of Annandale Farm, and these wells are retained by the Town.3. The price offered by the Town for the Waterworks and agreed to by the Company, was arrived at, after making due allowance for the condition of the watermains. The Company’s En­ gineers. however, edntended that most of the mains were in reasonably good condition. It is now asserted that some should be relaid as they have become too small or worn out, which confirms our anticpations. The pressure in parts of the Town is inadequate and the most effectual way of putting the system into order, is for the munici­ pality to assume control. _ 4.

It was in 1873 that Harry, who is yet quite active in the game, was ap­ proached by his first boss, the late Harry Rowland, then publisher of the Card of Thxnlrs Miss Carrie Howey wishes to thank her neighbors and friends and also the nurses for the many flowers and other acuof kindnep during her recent BOARDERS WANTED Ji'urt Fr*nk Ba“’ oppoii,e ,he tennb SEWING By the day.

Harry performed his job so well that it was but another step to that of printer’s devil at $2 a week. Even this was a munificent salary as most of the boys received only $1.50 per week, but labor must have been scarce for he had little trouble in getting the sum he asked. Two years previous to this his brother commenced wwk with the op­ position paper, the Ingersoll Chronicle, under thd late J. G. Gurnett. He was not the bargainer Harry was for he received but $1.50 in return for his 10 hours a day, including all day Satur­ days. Upon completion of over six years’ service, Harry decided that distant fields looked greener and so he left with his parents and other members of the family for England. Here, he found printers a drug on the market and for three months he was night watchman foe a big cartage com­ pany. He was anxious to pick up his rule again, however, and at the end of the three months he returned to Canada and on to Ingersoll where he was given a-good reception and a job at $6 a week. Very often printers were forced to go two or three weeks on $2 or $3 and take the rest out in dry goods, pro­ visions, ready to wear and tobacco. This arrangement was made between the merchants and newspaper pub­ lishers who agreed to take the goods in return for advertising space. That FOR SALE Good breeding ewes, two yearling rams.—W. C.

Increase required IS per cent In 1926 and 1927, the Company stat­ ed that an increase of not less than «_» per cent was ncccsary to give them 7 per cent net return on the investment. As the Company will extend or im­ prove. or otherwise spend more capi­ tal they would with equity require more revenue, as clearly explained in the letter of April 19th. 1926. If the Municipality has possession of the plant, the ratepayers will be paying an advance on the water rates and own an asset, of value, whilst if the plant remains in possession of the Company, the ratepayers will have to pay a greater advance in the rates and have nothing to show for it. 5. The Company stated in 1927 that the depreciated value of the Water­ works was $185,411.80. Their En­ gineers declared at the Arbitration Court that it was $15071844. The price agreed U|>o«i vias $100,COO. It is nbw asserted that the Company "will neither lose or gain by the result" which seems somewhat anomalous. 6 It is interesting to note that. Mr. E. V’. Tillson commenced his letter to the Tillsonburg News by explaining that he was writing from the point of view of a shareholder and the presi­ dent of the E. D. Tillson Estate Ltd., and terminates it in the last paragraph as a Shareholder of the Waterworks Company, and in this dual capacity claims to give a thoroughly unbiased opinion on the effect of the proposed purchase of the Waterworks on the ratepayers at large. With a long experience of Municipal enterprise, we again submit that the Mayor and members of the town council are taking the proper steps in the acquisition of the Waterworks be­ cause it-ts in the interest, of the rate­ payers to control the utility which is so vitally' associated with the welfare of the people. The ratepayers will al­ so always have ample opportunities to to voice their opinion in the future, which is not possible with Company administration. Yours very truly. R. O.

Buckberrough, who for some time has been a resident of Ja­ pan, he enclosed a clipping of a group picture, in which appear* Me**rs. Mears -and Collyer, flying partners, Mr. Burgher, secretary of the Embassy, Mr. Araki, the recently returned Japanese world traveller, and Mr. Buckberrough. The picture wa* taken in the sunken garden of the Imperial Hotel, one of the most quaint and colorful hotel* in existence. "Inciden- tly," the writer remarks, “I may men­ tion that Canada plays a leading part in fostering good relations, the Can­ adian Pacific having a hand in many activities of this nature. We always carry, these record breaking travellers without exception, possessing as we do the largest, finest and fastest steam­ er* on the Pacific, which is a revela­ tion in itself. Although I have been away from home for the be*t part of fifteen year*, ten of which have been *pent in the Far East, I always look forward with pleasure to the receipt of my paper, and in thi* way keep in close touch with events. Among the various items which es­ pecially appeal to me are the activi­ ties sponsored by the local board of trade, which keep* the "best town in Canada before the public, and has though it’* untiring effort* brought to the town some outstanding industries without which no community can prosper. Another worthy cause which 1 cannot overlook mentioning is the "Lions Club" which ha* been instru­ mental in creating that good fellow­ ship atmosphere in the town, to say nothing of their diversified activite* looking to the welfare of the town and community. While on the subject of good fellow­ ship, it is noteworthly of mention that.it is today becoming a world-wide slogan, being *pon*ored a* it is by the League of Nations, closely followed by such organization* as the Lions, Rotary and international societies. It is especially evident in thi* country, where such societies as the British- Japan Society, with the Honorary President recently appointed in the person of Prince Chicibu, brother of the present Emperor of Japan, and heir apparent to the throne. The American-Japan Society headed iy Prince Tokugawa, a former Shogun, is also another outstanding example of good fellowship, and practically all nations arc beginning to realize the im­ portance of these societies,, brining as they do individual* together for closer contact and understanding. I had the plq^sure yesterday of participating in an enjoyable meeting of the latest Japanese world traveller, Mr. T. Araki and Mr. John Mears of New York, the latter completing a record trip around the world. These world trips, H they accomplish nothing else tend to further good fellowship, as without tint all important factor, co-operation and fellowship, they could no be accomplished.

So after age* of occu- Estion our old ocean, which also pcr- aps, covered the lost Atlanti*, shifted its quarters and left this continent high and mo*tly dry, basking in the ray* of the same old sun that seemed to be for weeks back doing its best to make lava of u* all. One of the thing* it did do. however, wa* to convert that once ocean bed into a dense forest, a con­ dition that for other millions of year* seemed to be its chief business. All things, they say. have an end, and and so it comes to pass that as to the share that Oxford county took in the momentous epoch in it* history when and at lowest possible co*t. \\ hen con­ dition* at the time of harvesting small grain are right, the harvester-thresh­ er is a most efficient machine. It en­ able* a farmer in one operation to cut his grain and thrc*h it, and thus quickly perform at low cost and with a minimum of labor one of the biggest and most important undertakings on the farm where *mall grain is grown in sizable acreage. Previously harvester-threshers have .only -been used where grain ripened evenly. Where grain ripens unevenly or quantities of green weed* are present at the time of harvest, how­ ever. the difficulties of harvesting the straight combine way arc consider­ ably increased. It is difficult to separ­ ate some kind* of green weeds from the grain. The presence of piece* of green weed, green weed seed, or un- ripened grain in the threshed grain increases the moisture content and tend* to cause heating in storage un­ less grain it stored in specially* ven­ tilated bins or drying artificially i* restored to. This new windrow­ method of harve*ting in connection with the use of the harvester-thresher equipped with pick up device enables the operator to get away from- these difficulties and at the tame time "rash in” on the efficiencies that pertain to the use of the harvester-thresher or combine. When a farmer windrows hi* grain, he can begin hi* operations at the same time that he would go into the The Combined Reaper and Thre.her in 1810. Peter Lowing, a Quaker from New York State, with an axe on his shoulder, halted at a point one mile north of what i* now the town of Nor­ wich, and- with a deed of about sixteen thousand acre* of Oxford land in hi* pocket he began forthwith' to make a home of logs for himself and hi* fam­ ily. In doing this he felled the first forest tree that wa* ever prostrated by a white man's axe in Oxford county, so history of Oxford records. Mr. Loss- ing's brother-in-law. Peter Delong, was associated u*ith him in the said purchase. Soon a small clearing, a log house, and Mr. Lossing's family were on the job of transforming a wiftcrnct* into a far- famed land of plenty.The meagre agencies employed to accomplish the tremendous task the pioneer had before him is almost be­ yond belief. A yoke of oxen, a logging chain, a grain cradle, a plow, a crude field with a binder, which is from a week to ten days sooner than he would harvest his grain the straight combine way, for then he would have to allow the grain to stand longer in order to allow it to ripen on the stalk*. In sec­ tion* where hail damage is frequent or where the farmer is fearful of other hazard* the windrower enable* the farmer to commence cutting hi* grain at the same time that he would with the binder, and later when con­ ditions the right for straight, com­ bining he can cut and thresh at the same time with the Harvcster-Thrcsh- on a rather lengthy subject, and a* ij ™ hoe. a V- IK drtrmncr mr frnm the original idea lit I , a.it .is deterring me from the original idea of this letter, will clo*e with the ad­ ded wish of continued prosperity to your good paper and the community which you have the honored privilege of representing.

Dear Comrade*:—J ust a few lines to let you know wc have not forgotten you. although we are over 8,000 miles away. You will not be able to send u» a goo*e now, for all thing* have to be sent in sealed tins. We never forget your kindness to us and wc feel sure the Lord will pay you. This is a real heathen land; it is a real treat to see a white person, for they are very few There are over one million people in Lagos, and we are five miles from the city, but it just seems as if wc were just on the border of the dty. Down the streets seem one continual market- women and men with loads upon their heads, one would wonder almo*t how they could carry so much. The women have a large load on their head and a baby tied upon their back. There are many children without any clothe* and some of the adult* have very little. There it a leper colony right near to our place, and the leper* sit on the street* and beg. They *eem to just long to know Jesus. We had a meet­ ing and forty came out for conversion. Wc had an open air meeting with our boys, of which there are thirty-six, and had it in the yard, and there were eight kneeling at the fence seeking Jesu*. Even the people that bring the cats to the home get converted there. I wish you could *ce our place and hear our boys say how they thank God for ever bringing them here. We are in charge and have the boy* to do the work. They learn carpentering and farming, and wc have a school teacher. There arc also a lieutenant and two other men to help, *o we have over forty here. There is plenty of work and plenty of noise. But wc like our work fine, although thi* i* called the white man'* grave, and wc feel it is so. Wc have been ju*t as well in health as wc were in Canada. It is hot, but it is the dampnes* that seem* la make one’s bone* feel different. Wc love our work and love the people, for we feel sure it i* the place God want* u» to be in. The food is different, but we do not mind it. We have to use a lot of canned goods. There are pineapple*, bananas, oranges, peanut* and lime* grown here. Ju»t think,.wc can buy orange* six for two cent*. Al*o we have the plant you have in the house in Canada, called prickly pear, but we get the fruit from it here. There are many palm trees here, and lots of cannas. The letter* just take five week* to go to Canada, and we were 28 days com­ ing here. That time doe* not allow for any wailing for boats in England, a* we left Canada the 9th of March from St. John, and Chatham the 7th ol March, we arrived here the 12th of A& close now, so good bye and God Bless you.

A good cradle could cut five acre* of standing grain in day; a man with a hand-rake could lind the five acres into sheaves in a day; with a flail he could thresh it in Erobably four days; to clean it ready or the miller or market, four day*— cn day* in all. If Peter Lossing, by some radio, or other contrivance, say. could have wit­ nessed what the writer of this manu­ script did last Tuesday, on lot 22. in the seventh conces*ion of South Norwich, which lot. more than a hundred years ago, Amasa Wilcox purchased from the crown, the spirit would move him E To facilitate the windrow method of harvesting, a *pecial windrowing machine of International Harvester make and also a special pick-up at­ tachment for use with the Harvester Company's harvester-threshers ha* been developed. The windrow ma­ machine, or windrow-harvester, as it is called J* virtually a right-hand header with means for delivering the cut grain from about the centre ~bi the platform instead of to One side, as is on the ordinary header. This is par­ ticularly advantageous in making the opening cut. for the cut grain then i* delivered on the stubble instead of on the standing grain. With this ma­ chine, also, the operator can cut close to stack bottom* without leaving any- standing grain. In harvesting grain by the windrow method of harvesting, a special wind­ row method, it i* very important that the stubble should be high enough to carry the cut grain.

The condition of such crop* *hould a* good as for a common binder. This was made possible by a new machine purchased a few- week* ago by Mr. Leigh Wilcox, a hamster­ thresher, which a representative of The News had the good fortune to see in full operation last Tuesday morning. The new method of curing small grains in windrow* and then threshing it by Harvester-Thresher, or combine, developed largely a* a supplement to straight combining, promise* to be a great boon to the modern-day fanner who wishes to harvest the highest grade of grain possible under a variety of condition* Mail Couriers Seek Increase Rural mail services in Canada are steadily increasing.

The mott notable development it in the Western provinces, more demands coming from there than from any other part, although all the petitions, when allowed arc not backed up by the necessary subscription of $4 for delivery boxes. A petition i* being forwarded to the post office deepartment asking that rural mail contractor* serving both the po*t offices and the rural delivery the case, air can readily work into the windrow from underneath and thus facilate the curing of the grain and the drying of any green weed* that may be mixed in with the cut grain.

A somewhat unique situation in this affair i* that Leigh Wilcox the pro­ prietor of the two hundred acre farm and owner of the great invention is on his mother’* side, a great, great, great grandson of the man who swung the axe that felled the tree that gave him enduring fame. On his father's side he is a great, great, great grandson to the man who a hundred years ago purchased the farm on which this new intruder i* operating.

During the summer months, the symptoms caused by adenoids are not as noticeable as in winter. They are referred to now because this is an opportune time for having them at­ tended to. Adenoids arc tumour-like growths that develop in the passage between the nose and throat. Very young chil­ dren may have adenoid*. The marjor- ity of case* occur in children from eighteen month* to six years of age. The presence of adenoids usually causes what is apparently a chronic cold in the head, with a great deal of discharge from the nose. The*e symp­toms, with snuffles, occur daring the winter season. Cough is frequently associated with the condition. If the growth* are large, the child will be a mouth-breather, breathing through the mouth day and night, be­ cause the natural breathing space through the nose is blocked. Thi* gives rise to snoring. In advance cases, the child has a characteristic appearance of the face. The open mouth give* a stupid expres­ sion, the nostrils are *mall and pinch­ ed. the upper lip is thickened. The voice may have a nasal twang. The hearing may be impaired. Bed-wet­ ting may be part of the symptoms. Complete removal is the only treat­ ment for adenoid* of any severity. Parent* who have been advised by their physician to have an adenoid condition corrected in their child should do so. Parent* of children who show evidence of adenoids, as de­ scribed. should have the children ex­ amined to find out the condition. The treatment of sGch a condition is ad­ vised became it interferes with the normal development of the child, lowers his level of physical fitness and, if severe, results in a permanent de-* formity of the mouth and face.

Blaze in Norwich Church Norwich, Aug. 18.—The Norwich United church building had a narrow escape from destruction by fire when a blaze got under way in the wood and coal storage section in the north­ east comer. Discovery and prompt response by the fire brigade resulted in the flames being extinguished after only slight damage had been done. Re­ flection of flames on the driving shed about 9:45 on Wednesday evening caused Charles Kendrick, of Clyde street, who wa* passing, to investigate and to give the alarm. Prayer meeting wa* held the same evening and thbse in attendance had been gone but a short time when the fire started. Had the blaze been a few hour* later it would have made much headway be­ fore discovery and the fine building would probably have been destroyed.

I would rather avoid “Wc might economize time by going in opposite directions, and meeting at some stated place.” he said, blandly. “Mrs. Gordon will be much distressed by this had occurrence, no doubt, and will talk to you alone, perhaps, more freely than if I were present. Shall I go to the magistrate's, and to the beach, while you go to Gordon House? I confess, for my part. 1 should prefer to." Florence looked surprised, but offer­ ed no objection. Certainly. >hc needed no companion at Gordon House, and Mr. Tremaine could meantime push inquiries in other directions. “He is not so eager for my society as he used to be.” she thought, wilh a sense of relief. “Thank Heaven for it!“ and then added aloud that his was a sensible one. and that he could leave her at the gate oi Gordon house, and afterward meet her at the depot, in time for the evening train. ’You will go to the magistrate,” she said, looking up into his face with sorrowful earnestness. “Sec that they have everything possible done to re­ cover her poor body.

And then she added, wistfully—startled indeed, this time, at his death-white face—“You are very kind to sympathize so deeply with my grief. If you could havo known Helen Clare how fair and sweet, and good she was—you would pity her fate, indeed' But!”—with a deep sigh for her own girlish plots and fruitless invitations to Helen—“but you never saw her!"

Canada imports more than five million dollars worth of dried I fruits each year including apples, apri- jeots. currants, and peaches.. besides I the tropical fruit- which we cannot grow. The Dcparmeni of Agriculture at Ottawa ha* conducted investiga­ tions covering a period oi several year- to find ou: among other things, whether fruit dehydrated in Canada can take the place of imported good* oi the same class. In the reports of the committee in charge of this work it is clearly brought out by the excel­ lence ot the fruit dehydrated at the stations in British Columbia and Ontario, that when fruit of good qual­ ity is used a thoroughly fine market­ able product result*. It was discover­ ed that dehydrated fruit when prop­ erly soaked refreshes almost to the original fresh weight. It was made equally clear that a good product cannot be made from fruit of in­ ferior quality. Dehydration differs from what is generally known as evaporation in that the process is diff­ erent and there is more moisture left in the stock. The report of the com­ mittee. available at the Publications Branch. Department of Agriculture. that con- Ottawa. contains information fruit growers may well carefully aider.
