BIG FLAX HARVEST.
BUT HELP SCARCE
•The firm .of J. G. Anderson and'.
Son is presently engaged in harvest-
ing the 'heaviest and .best. crop .of
flax in the history . of the firm, but
the case on many farms; the,
as isthere
`is an' acute -Shortage of help to har-
vest this crop which 'is; particularly
valuable and vital in wartime and•
the` moreso with the .,European . sup-
ply completely •:cut off. •
elJeatii rly in .June Prospects for
a good flax crop, did not look good,'
but since then it had shown a re-
markable growth, . and in one 'in-
stance a field is known ' to .have
.grown over 2 inches in one day. A
flax inspector, a native of Belgium,
nd
re
d
ac
res
of
_ a hu 7777
in looking over
flax in KifileiSs remarked -that -it-
was the •-finest field of, flax he had
ever seen. The important thing now
is to get this: crop safely and prop-
erly harvested. ,
The Andel on firm has seven hun-
dred acres o flax in this commun-
ity, which is an exceptionally heavy
crop and much 'of it standing about
four feet high. So high in fact that
modern flax machinery was not de-
signed to handle flax of such length
and •various e harvesting problems
have arisen as a result - -
Seven; mechanical pullers are in
operation: pulling the flax and laying
it out on the ground to ret; which
loosens the fibres. The pullers take
about a three -feet swath and be-
cause of the length of the flax there•
is an 'overlap of the rows when laid
out to ret. This creates a • difficulty
for new pick-up machinery, and the
gathering of the -flax can best be
done by ,manual labor.
Last .year the Anderson firm em-
ployed about 80 men .and boys to
gather and bundle the flax, and this
year a similiar nuniberwill be em-
ployed if available. Work will start
next ' week but the indications are
that there will be an acute -shortage
oof' help. Boys as young as 12 years
and over have proved valuablein
gathering . this ' flax crop,; and every'
lad who is willing tgiwork will have
the opportunity to ,do so .if . he
wishes.

-HELPED CUT CABER USED AT

, The story in • last week's issue
about The Caledonian Games, has
resulted in an interesting sidelight
in connection with one of the most
interesting of the contests, the toss-

Mr. Kenneth Cameron . of West

used for "The Games" sixty years
-ago, when Donald Dinnie competed,
was cut on the'farm of his father,
best known as "Big. Sandy" Cam-
eron; and what is more, Kenneth
Cameron assisted in cutting the log.
The caber was cut out of a green
ash tree just a few days before the
feats of, strength took place, , so that
it was. quite heavy. The . caber, 18.
feet long, was 8 inches at the top
end and 4 inches in diameter at -the
small end. On the day ;of the games.
it was necessary to shorten it by
temp feet before even Donald Dinnie.

ARMY . BAND PUT
ON.FINE SHOW,
For an, hour'and a half on Satur-
day evening the Military Pipe Band
froth Listowel put on a fine per-
formance of piping and marching
before a large and interested crowd
that lined tree main street for two
blocks.
The band; which is ' officially•
known as the A29• Advanced In-
fantry Training Centre Pipe Band,
was ten strong under. the capable
direction of Pipe -Sergeant Angus
Campbell, who had his boys drilled
arid`'rehearsede to ea' high'- degree --of-
perfection.
The main street was cleared of
cars from the Post Office to the
Town 1ffice corner and enabled the
crowd to more fully enjoy the
Band's fine performance, much of
which was presented while on the
march. Drummer . Sheppard; who
was a brawny Scot of over six -feet
attracted much attention by his fine
drumming and the ease with which
he did it. -
Members of ' the band included
Pipe -Sergeant Angus Campbell, Cpl,
Kenneth Rintoul, Cpl. Murray, Cpl,
Irvine, Cpl. Morison, Cpl. Crisman,
Lange Cpl.: Wright, - Lance Cpl.l
Shepphard, 'Priv'ate--•MacLeaai an

The Band was secured' through
the efforts of Mr. J. R. McNab, pres-
ident of the Business Men's Associa-
tion, and were tendered a, turkey
supper er at; Webster's restaurant- at
6.30 'on Saturday evening, prior to
the concert which commenced
promptly at 8.30. A half dozen local
citizens were present, at the dinner

bell and the members of his band:

The making of certificates • im-

the proven fact, that the easier it is
for a customer to,secure any article,
the greater will be the volume of
sales.
