undo some of the fine work that a favorable season had done for
the farmers, He ‘may have succeeded: in some low-lying localities,
but for the most part he contented himself with what the militaryn

more guessing contests till late November.

, It is to be hoped that the excitement of_the markets will not go
the wheat’s head with injurious results. Still more devoutly is it
to be hoped that market manipulators, shall not get control of the
people’s supply of bread*
It must be remembered that all the excitement in regard:
wheat is due to a partial failure of the wheat crop in one corner of
the world’s harvest fields. There is nothing like food scarcity
sight. What is in sight is a very determined effort on the part
unscrupulous speculators and gamblers to take advantage- of con
sumers’ necessities and creduleties. Not so long ago that word was
abroad that the world market was glutted with wheat. Just now
there is an attempt to have consumers believe that empty flour bar
rels soon will be the order of the day, with the benevolent intention
of increasing sales of flour and bread at greatly advanced prices.
Events have a way of righting themselves and. of dealing sharply
with anyone,who takes advantage of a nation’s necessity.

An Indian grave, discovered by
accident by Canadian Pacific em
ployees at work near Brooks, Al
berta, Jast May, is considered by
experts to be between 30ft and 400
years old. It is thought the grave
was originally above ground hut
the passage of centuries had buried
the grave below the soil. An irri
gation ditch was being constructed
when the grave, was discovered.
Tri-motored airplanes are being
launched in one of the most spec

aviation. War has been declared
by the Canadian Government on the
spruce bud worm and the airplane
is to be the principal arm of the

pounds of powder, and will dust it
while flying low, over the tree,

The blueberry industry is show-'
ing much improvement in Yar
mouth and Shelburne counties,
Nova Scotia. Last year there were
only 4,000 acres of crown land
burned for blueberry growing; this'
year 10,000 acres have beep burn
ed. Value of crop last year was
$65,000 and it is estimated that the
crop’s value could be increased to,
. half a million dollars. $
The province of Alberta has'
adopted Old Age Pensions, thej

all Canadian provinces from the,
Quebec boundary westward.
Though crops in several parts of:
Western Canada would be benefit-
ted by rains, crop outlook on the
whole is very promising. Reports
from all parts of Saskatchewan are
generally encouraging.' The Al
berta report is good, especially the
Peace River country where present'
prospects indicate one of the best
crops on record. About 25,000,000
acres are sown to wheat in Canada
this, year. Last year the Dornin-•
. ioh harvested over 533,000,000 bush-
■" els of wheat, the largest crop in
the country’s history.

where he remained for one year; and
from there he came to- Canada, settl
ing in the Township of Usborne,I
where he met, wooed and wed Miss
Alice Hunter, who has been his .life
long and devoted helpmate ever
since and who still survives him. ;
He remained in Usborne Town
ship for 7 years; and then he pur
chased a farm on the 4th of Biddulph
Township, popularly known as the
"Dickins Homestead”
possession of his son,
Dickins.
He left the farm in
to Lucan, where he resided up to the
time of his death.
Had he lived until
? year, Mr. and Mrs.

ding Anniversary.
In religion, the late Mr. Thomas
Dickins was a member of the- Church I
of England; in politics a staunch
Conservative. He was a member of
the fraternal .Society of the Wood-1
men of the World.
Besides his sorrowing widow he is
survived by his ten children, who
are:Mrs. Frank Coates, of Exeter; Mrs J
Lome iMcFUlls, of Toronto; Mrs. A.
■Davis, Mrs. R. Coleman and Mrs. Ina
Hodgins, of Lucan; Mr. Thomas
Dickins, of London; Messrs. Richard
Phineas and William Dickins, of
Biddulph; Mr. John Dickins, a
.brother, of Coldwater, Ont.; Mrs.
Nelson, a sister, of Detroit, Mich.
The pallbearers were his six grand
sons; Messrs. Whitney Coates, Percy
Dickins, Albert Dickins, Frank Dick
ins, Harold Dickins and pari At
kinson. His nephews acted as bear
ers of the many beautiful floral tri
butes.. The funeral took .. place on

ducted by the ReSt'br, Rev. K. Me-
Gotiii and fnterthent in st. James’
Cemetery, Clahdeboye.
While Mr; Dickins had enjoyed a
long life, yet, death IS not A welcome
Visitor, and the bereaved, and es
pecially his faithful Wife, who Will
miss him most, goes out the heart
felt sympathy of their many friends.,
I "God giveth, and GOd taketh away"
blessed be the Name of the Lord.”
