While the majority of farmers are satisfied with the warm weather of September and October, th© celery growers of Thedford report a loss of celery valued at $27,000 because of it. The growers lift their celery the last week of September and took ad­ vantage -of warm weather to trans­ port it to the cold-storage plant at Thedford. The temperaure in some of the fields was as high as 81 de­ grees. The black mucky eoil was dry, which allowed the temperature of celery to reach its peak. With th© weather favorable for lift­ ing, the produce reached the cold- storage plant in too large a quantity for the cooling capacity of the plant. The celery began to heat, resulting in the spoiling of several thousand crates.

In fact, they have everything folks enjoy and need in a lunch or supper dish. You can make arrangements with your dealer to supply different kinds of deli­ cious fish several times a week, and the family will enjoy this tempting treat.

Acting on his principle of “when you know a good thing tell yopr friends about it," a man who has had very bad lumbago pains writes as follows:— “I suffered from lumbago, and for weeks co<uld scarcely move in bed. I had treatment, but it did not ease the pain very much. A friends said, 'Why not take Kruschen Salts? Take them every morning, and you’ll like­ ly get relief back.’ So I morning for fit condition thanks to Kruschen. Why is it that lumbago, backache, rheumatism and indigestion in many cases yield to Kruschen Salts? Be­ cause it is a combination of several mineral salts that are vital for your bodily well-being. Each of these salts has an action of its own. Stomaci, liver, kidneys and digestive tract are all benefited and toned up to a high state of efficiency. from that pain in your have taken them every some time and I am in for my work again — —C. B.

Greer, of Toronto, chief in­ spector of separate and public schools for Ontario, told an Eastern Ontario regional educational conference that high schol entrance examinations, "a convenience of an earlier period," will disappear eventually. Speaking to nearly 1,000 teachers attending the elementary section of the conference, he said the Ontario department of education had been clinging to the traditional entrance examinations. This year reductions were made in the number of subjects on which examinations were set. The will of Dr. George W.

Bryce Canyon, Zion National and Grand Canyon. When I say “impressions” I mean just that, for as far as facts or fig­ ures are concerned they always leave me a bit cold and bored anyway, so much for the prelude, . When we rolled out of Idaho into Utah over wide, smooth, well-kept highways down through a verdant valley ridged on both sides with high colorful mountains where little lakes abound with fish and sleek cougars stalk their antelope prey, I recalled some of the tales told through the East of the much-maligned Mormon, his creed and his habits and vaguely, wondered if there was anything that resembled truth in any of them. So far I’d seen very little except scat­ tered ranches, herds grazing in the lush grass, a lone rider- there a snug home surrounded by cottonwoods ridge to the West and down through the cleanest, neatest and most mod­ ern little towns I’ve ever seen—no slums — no- poor sections — Moron towns — Logan, Brigham,- and a couple of others I’ve forgotten the names of, lying in the valley that runs the full length of the State—a State full of surprises , . . Next in line was Salt Lake City—one grand town—-here we visited the Mormon Tabernacle and met and had a long chat with the Bishop — a likeable sort of chap who presented us with a leather bound book on the Mor­ mon Creed along with quite a few colored views of the various points of interest throughout the state. Then a visit to Salt Lake and a swim in that buoyant water where one can lay flat and motionless for hours and come out fairly encrusted with salt—water that at times runs about 2 8 per cent, salt and when one walks out beyond their depth will not let you sink below the arm pits —grand sport until you get it in the eyes and nose. Leaving through Salt Lake City and pushing on down, the valley again, ] through more neat little towns, then open country—growing drier and more rugged — past Rock Candy Mountain With its barber pole color­ ed sides, a sharp swing east and into Red Rock Canyon—crazily grotesque shaped rocks like mammoth statues, brilliant in coloring—the road nar­ rows—goes up and up through huge crevasse coming out mesa at about more miles and Canyon. Don’t miss within a thousand miles of it- weird and unearthly yet utterly gor­ geous — huge brilliantly colored spires ranging in tone from maroon through red, salmon, yellow, to- a fin­ al white tip cover hundreds of thou­ sands of acres—every shape and con- tour—many of them take on the ap­ pearance of great statues and are paraded before you in panoramic view as your gaze follows along the rim to points 15 to 20 miles distant —no description is adequate — no description could give you a mental picture to come anywhere near do­ ing it justice—and anyway I haven’t got time to try now. One last long look three days later and we’re again back on the highway —no heavy traffic here—open roads for miles and miles and then desert —Hopi country — hogans (H-opi houses) dot the roadside and outside in the boiling sun the sullen Hopi Indian weaves his highly colored blankets, beats out his silver jewel­ ry or just sits—they do a fair job at the latter— Two Hopi boys astride a eaten burro jog along beside road tures but they scurry for cover­ desert grows there we stop tied wood — wastes—sand one side, a thousand foot cliff on the other—vultures and buzzards circle above a bloated carcass of a ,steer—sand lizards blink at the ap­ proaching car from the tops of rocks so that we could barely touch them.— a hundred miles of this and we pull into Cameron, the turning point to the climb up into Grand Canyon—a short rest ahd away again, more de­ sert, and a winding road up through rocky parses to the rim of the can­ yon—the first ahd never-to-be-for­ gotten view across the canyon at sunset with the tiny streak of the Colorado Rivef faintly showing in the growing dusk — a momentary * glimpse etched in yur memory for a lifetime—-no words can conjure up . .. then over the a on the 6,000 feet — a few you arrive at Bryce this, place if you’re -it’s moth- the we stop to snap their pic- •the wilder and here and to pick up some petri- then into the painted in varying shades on | A SATIN FINISHliV"VbV E N A.M EL­ IO Beautiful Pastel Shades H, S.

At five o’clock the next day watched the Navajo dance on plaza beside the Bright Angel and sat next to the Maharajah of In­ dia and his bride who were enroute to California on their -honeymoon—- the Maharajah and I climbed a tree to get some good snapshots of the Navajos and it wasn’t until next day that I learned from one of the waiters at the Inn who- he was—just my luck, and I didn’t even get a snap of him— •Well Bill It looks as if I’d left out all description of Zion National Park but as they say down here in the Su- huaro country, “Tomorrow’s another day, and I hear they are going to have another day after that" so I’ll just postpone that until the next let­ ter so that I’ll have something fur­ ther to write about—also I’d like to add a little descriptive matter of our Sun Valley here around Phoenix, our Dude Ranch and a visit to Mexico if you stand it—But right now my journalistic efforts must close with thanks for your interest and for the copies of the “home town” paper which are always welcome.

Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Fisher of Montreal renewed old time friend­ ships in Thorndale recently. Mr. Fish­ er on Sept. 2’8th, 1905, assisted the late Frank E. Karn in opening the Sovereign Bank, the first*"bank ever established in Thorndale. The Sover­ eign carried on business here until it failed, and closed its doors on January 18th, 19 08. The Sovereign however, was not like the Home Bank, not one of the despositors of the Sovereign ever lost a cent as the Bank of Commerce at London took ■over the business at this point at that time. Mr. Fisher at the present time, is manager of one of the Dom­ inion Bank offices at Montreal, hav­ ing been moved'to Montreal some 2 years ago from St. John, N.'B. As it was some 32 years ago since Mr. Fisher left Thorndale, only few villagers now member him in his gave a description bank was managed ings, the office being located in a little building 10x12 feet, the pro­ perty of the late Mr. Tolton opposite the Tolton elevator. The vault or safe had to be placed in the elevator as the floor of this little frame struc­ ture would not stand the weight. Aftei’ closing the bank in the ev­ enings, Mr. Fisher stated that many of the farmers would come in to pay their taxes in the fall of the year, and many times he would have in his pockets over night, from $<400.00 to $800.00 to keep until the elevator and vault opened on the following day. Mr. Fisher stated that owing to so many bank robberies in Thorn-, dale and other Western 'Ontario vil­ lages that he would not care to take the chance today, of holding this money.—St. Marys Journal-Argus a remain who re­ boyhood days.
