A Rad Habit
Several boys and girls have got into
the habit of using chalk on tluildinge.
This is not very nice to see and the
"artists" are anything but famous at
Itht.ir work.

Crops Look Well
A note from Chas, H, I3aniy, of
Watrous, Soak., states that the crops
are looking fine in the West and wea•
ther warm. Mr. Il:anly is leaving
Wtatrous and is going 'to Lethbridge.
A Good Sueccss
The Garden Party held on the spac-
ious grounds of Mr. Peter •Cantelop on
Thursday evening last, under the aus-
pices of, the Wesley Epworth League,
was a good success. The evening was
warm aid the musical program ren-
dered by the Citizens Band was excel-
lent. Everybody enjoyed themselves
as the icecream,strawberries, cake and
home made candy were Al and the
waiters looked after everyone, The
proceeds amounted to $00.
Prospects For Fruit Notwithstanding the heavy trosts
ot late, the fruit crop hereabouts does
not seem to have been materially
ajtected by it. In early apples such as
red astrachans and the Duchesse both
stow an enormous yield., Fall pippins
an average crap, - Snow apples and
russets are very heavily loaded,and so
are the greenings. This being the off-
year for spies they will not be accord.
ing to the . bloom, more than half a
crop. Cherries show well and will be.
a good crop. Plums, late bloom, are
heavily loaded. Small fruits such as
paspberries, currants and gooseberries
also present a good showing.

No Riding Now
The Mayor has instructed the Police
to arrest all bicycle riders who take to
sidewalk. This islocking the.door after
the horse has been stolen, as Rev. Mr.
Newcombe was injured last Friday
evening though by accident by a boy
and a bicycle being on the . sidewalk.
The young ladwas playing with some
girls and as they went to catch him he
jumped on his bicycle and staved to
ride down the sidewalk. ' Seeing Mr.
Newcombe he jumped off, but in so
doing he fell against him which put
the old gentleman off his balance and
he fell oyer the wheel. breaking a rib.

The Police Magistrate has received•
the followi g letter from J A Cart-
wright, Deputy Attorney General:
"Toronto, June IOth,1910
Dear Sir, -I have once - more to call
your attention to the lawwithregard
to tramps and vagrants. It is desired
that men of this class who it is be-
lieved are responsible for a large num-
ber of burglaries and other crimes: of
violence should be driven out of the.
Province, and it has been found that
the best reaults are obtainaed by im.
posing the full term of imprisonment
in the Ventral Prison allowed by law.
The practice of giving them the option
of a fine or of leaving the municipality
has in its results been found most un•
satisfactory, and 1 am directed to say
that'when any men of this class are
brought before you it is desired that
you should administer the law strictly
and rigorously, as in this way alone
can .serious crime be prevented. In-
structions of this nature have been
sent out previonsly,but have not been
acted on as they should have been,and
it is expected that strict attention
will be paid to the directions which
are herein contained. As the railway
authorities are co-operating with this
Department, I. have to ask you at all
Manes to assist the railway constables
,who may be acting in this class of
crises." »

No Kick Coarsing
An angler would have no, kick cora-
hag if the fish bit as peraistentlyas the
mosijuitoes.do at the Garden Parties
that have been recently held in town,.
The White Grub '
The *bite grub has made its appear-
ance in this neighborhood as well as
farther south. The white grub is the
larvae of the June bug which • lays its
eggs among the tufts of grass in the
hayfields and pasture land. The first
year it does very little damage but
the second year it commences feeding
upon the roots of the grass and grain'
so that they are completely destroy-
ed. It was thought that the depreda-
tions of this pest wereconfined to
the southern counties but this section
is also suffering. Its work is said to
be as destructive as thatof the wire
worm,
Tho Haag Circus
The big Haag railroad southern cir-
cus arrived in town last Saturday
morning at about 4 o'clock and by
seven o'clock the big tent was up in
the Recreation Park and everything
ready for the afternoon show. At
11 o'clock a parade was fornied at the
park and came down William, Victoria
Main Streets and back . to the park,
The parade was as fine a one as has
been seen here in some time. There
were wild animals, bands, clowns. el-
ephants, camels acrobats, and finally,
but not least, the steam callow, on
which the very popular tune, "Put on
Your Old Grey Bonnet" was played.
The streets were lined with people,
The show is strictly a southern one,
1 and this is the first time in .sixteen
years that it has crossed the Mason
and Dixon line and it Cants directly
'from the South into Canada. The
show in the afternoon wab first class
and there was nothing obnoxious.
'King Georgethe pride of the circus
-the camel born at Welland three
weeks ago -was the big attraction in
the,nneneverie. A trio of jumbo el•
ephants, a caravan of camels and
numerous other wild animals com-
pleted this end of shote. The work
of the imperial Japanese troupe, bill-
ed es the most sensational of the show
was wonderful. Head balancing on a
swinging trapeze and remarkable
hand work kept the audience spell+
bound while the Orientals were in the
rin The bareback riders, elowns
and acrobats pleased immensely. The
stunts performed by the trio of ele-
phants -•--always favorites with a cir•
bus cru d
w were equal, if not better,
thanolintonians have even in years.
A good crowd was at the evening
show. The Circus leftSaturday night
for Palmerston.

Fire Friday Evening
Last Friday evening at 6 t 30 the
barn of H. Garrick, just near the Base
Line and Loridesboro Road was not-
ticed to be on fire and by the time the
fireman got there roof. had "fallen in.
Mr, Carrick was sleeping.in his chair
at the time, but was lucky to get his
horse and harness out. He lost his
sleigh, coal, hay etc. How the fire
started is a mystery as Mr. Carrick
states he had not been in the loft for
over a month.. He had $50 -insurance
on the. barn. The fireman • were unable
to throw water as the hose amnia' not
reach to the barn,
How Mitchell Saw It
The following clipped from the
Mitchell Advocate:- An ' interesting
game of baseball played in the Deter-
son Park last Friday afternoon be.
tween the Clinton and Mitchell nines
resulted in a victory for the visiting
team by the close score of 7 to 6.
Punctually at 5 •oclock, Mr VV. R..
Davis pitched the first ball to Mr T S
li'ord; and Dr Burritt knocked a foul.
Immediately after the Mitchell nine
took the field. The opening three or
four innings were rather ragged, and
the need of constant .practice was
made apparent, but after that both
teams tightened up, and the game
from the fifth 'innings to the end was
as fast as anything seen here last year
The work of Parker, tb e home pitcher
was the feature of the afternoon. He
pitched a good game, and would have
won but for the poor, support he re-
ceived at the start. Besides this, he
madetwo hits, one of them for two
bases, and he also fielded h.is position'
in sensational style. - The game wound
up in a .hair-raising finish, Mitchell
came to bat needing one run to tie in
the ninth. Two batters went out and
then Mortson reached fled and stole
second, A hit would score hien, and
Matheson, the next batter, hit a
terriffic drive to deep eentrethat look-
ed good for three bases, but Clinton's
centre, fielder a€teralongrun,captured
the ball by a leap in the air. Hard
luck! It was a beautiful hit, but it
Watt also a wonderful catch,
