SHE
PARTED FROM HIS MONEY
Confidence sharks,' professing to
be optometriic specialists, recently
duped a farmer near Exeter out of
$412 of hard earned cash. The
strangers called at the house and of
fered the farmer $12.00 spectacles
for $3,50 as^a special offer. Con
versation continued, and the agent
professed to find something wrong
with the farmer's eyesight, and told
the rural man that ”out in my -car
right now there is a noted eye spe
cialist waiting for me to come out
of here.” Called to the home, the
specialist prescribed an operation
which consisted in rubbing some 11-
q.Uid, supposed to be radium, on
the eye. He collected $412 after
claiming to have removed a cata
ract. Then the two smooth gentle
men departed from the district to
find more healthy regions to prac
tice their nefarious trade.
° It isn’t what you do today
that causes the blowout /”
—it is usually something you have done weeks ago.
Under-inflation—careless parking that pinches the
tire walls—hitting rough bumps on high- Balloons
deaden the jar. But later—a blowout!
These things can be avoided. To avoid them means
dollars off the cost of running your car.
Check up tire pressures every week—We will do
it for you. Keep to the exact figures for the sire of
load of each tire. Ease down when driving over deep
ruts and sharp ridges.
Let us inspect your tires once a week. At least
twice a ‘season let us take them off the rim3 and
look for inside injuries.
A Dominion Tire will stand a lot of abuse, but a
little care will add thousands of miles to its life.

HE DIDN’T THINK
DYSENTERY
COULD BE RELIEVED'
Mr. John Mailing, F<ran«r, Alt*.,
write*:—“I am a returned soldUr,
and when I came home from overwear
I suffered greatly with dysentery. ^Th«
doctor said it was chronic and did not
think It. could be relieved. > Howevor,
he doctored me for quite a while, but
did me no good. One day the druggist
Mfted me if I had over tried
*'0n his recommendation I bought
a bottle and after I had taken it got
some relief, so I got two more, and
have never had the dysentery since

H ♦
Hundreds of lovers of the great
outdoors have joined the
Trail Riders of the Canadian ^Rockies, an organization of poets,
tnoveliets, scientists, educators, artlists, Indian chiefs, cowboys, na-
.£ure lovers in general, and those
■who wish to perpetuate ancient
jtrails jn the Canadian Rockies and
the grand kick of a wonder-
ful horseback ride through the
Canadian Rockies to scenic wond
ers which have been viewed by a
mere handful. John Murray Gib
bon, of Montreal, first organized
this great ride, which this year
started August 2, for the Lake
of the Hanging Glaciers, from
Banff and Lake Windermere, B.C.
Each year it has been bigger and
better — —- -----
exceeds a thousand, many of whom
have won the gold and enamel
button signifying that they have
ridden at least fifteen hundred
miles. Of the hundred so qualify
ing, 23 are ladies. Three of the
girl-members who joined up with
the main party this year on the
start for the Lake had already
covered upwards of 200 miles of
mountain trails.
The Lake of the Hanging
Glaciers, about 7,500 feet above
sea level, in the Selkirk Range,
was discovered about 20 years ago,
but is still as wild as ever. It*
name gives some idea of its spec
tacular appearance, which is that
of an immense cirque, with eight
glaciers forming a morraine which,
drops off sheer in an ice wall
nearly 300 feet higher than tho
lake itself. From this wall ice
bergs are falling continually, and
forming a miniature Arctic sea
in the heart of the mountains.1
Surrounded as it ie by jagged
Alpine peaks, many of which ex
ceed 11,000 feet in height, this
district has challenged the ambi
tion of many Alpine climbers.

THF) EDITOR ASICS A QUESTION
If you were editing a town paper
what news would you print? What
would be your*>pollcy? Would you
print all the news? There is no
small amount of worry connected
with a satisfactory week by week
answer to this question, One’s first
impulse is to say ‘‘news is news.”
But a town paper that publishes all
the news, all the Bcandal and one-
tenth part of the gossip of a coun
try would 'be anything but a force tor
the upbuilding of a community, To
be sure, it would be eagerly await
ed and eagerly devoured by a cer
tain element, but we are convinced
there is a nobler job for the town
newspaper than searching for dirt.
There are always movements in
every village that need the work of
the paper. It is, we are convinced,
possible to glean from the newB of
the town, enough wholesome news,
news that urges on "every agent for
good in the community and greater
efforts.
THE QUESTION OF
GRADING HOGS
Mr. W. W. Revington, of Lucan,
who was fined $25.00 and costs for
not grading his hogs prior to being
shipped to an abbatoir, has appealed
the case. The law, which is being
Enforced only in Ontario, according
to information, reads: “All hogs for
grading shall be marked in a man
ner approved by the Minister. A
specific mark shall be placed on
each farmer’s lot of hogs, in each
and every carload, truckload, or
other shipment, when two or more
lots of farmers’ hogs are marketed
together. A shipper's manifest giv
ing the name of the farmer and the
number of hogs shipped, and their
mark shall be made out by the ship
per or drover. This manifest shall
be presented to the hog grader at
the stockyard or abbatoir to which
the hogs are shipped. The dele
gation declares that the regulations
are impossible of/observance and
ask that the gracing required be
done at the abbatoirs. They de
clare that in other provinces there
have been no convictions and no
person brought into court for failing
to observe the regulations.

among sheep raisers to establish
in Vancouver a wool grading cen

result of increasing the returns to
the producer from 25 to 50 per
cent.
