A resident of Clinton walking near where an old building had been torn down, picked up a round disc which on examination proved to be an old copper coin. It was a half penny Upper Canada Token of the year 1852. It could not have had much circulation, for the design stands out as clear as when deliv­ ered from the mint. The coin is over one inch in diameter and for detail of design is a work of art.—'Clinton News-Record. late LEON JEFFREY SR.

Promising results have been obtained states J. H. Boyce, Division of Forage Plants, Domin­ ion Experimental Farms Service, but as yet no general recommenda­ tions can be made. It is suggested that, if the lawn owner wishes to try some of the ed chemical should do so treating the commonly recommend- lawn weed killers, he on a small area before entire lawn. Lawn owners should be on the lookout for crabgrass. It is a sum­ mer annual which germinates in June and early July. It makes rapid growth in the hot months when most of the lawn grasses are nearly dormant. It produces abundant seed on finger-like heads in late sum­ mer and turns an unsightly purple colour and dies as soon as the wea­ ther cools. In order properly to control this week, it is necessary to become familiar with the appear­ ance of the ceedling plants. They can easily be recognized in the two leaf stages being distinguishable from the tuft grasses by their broad; short, sharply-pointed leaves which are covered with fine hairs. At this stage the seedlings can easily be pulled out. It. is almost impossible to eradicate crahgrass by hand after it, becomes well established, since the stems root down at the nodes, Weeds like dandelions and plan­ tains can best be eradicated by hand weeding, cutting the roots well be­ low the crown. In the case of the dandelion, new fops may grow from the out roots but by repeated re­ moval the root re serves will finally be exhausted and the plants killed. The record one,-day attendance at the Canadian National Exhibition is 26'1,00,0 on Labor Day, 1928. That maj’k is expected to fall this year due largely to the tremendous in­ crease in IT, s. tourist travel in On­ tario. Labor Day will be observed September 2nd. * Ontario Masons want to look after the children of British Masons for the duration of the war. Grand Mas­ ter J. A.
