A group of local citizen? obtained permission to bring it to show. They charged sixpence to ,<ee it, devoting the proceeds to ready amazing figures of Britain's air successes. FARMERS’ INCOME REPORTED HIGHER Although farm prices generally have 'been only slightly higher in 1940 than in 1939 the cash income of farmers as a whole during the first seven months of 1940 has been 3*0 per cent, higher than for the corresponding period of a year ago. This preliminary estimate of farm cash income has been made by the Agricultural Branch of the Domin­ ion Bureau of Statistics. Practically all sources of income showed increases. In the case of wheat, deliveries for the first seven months of 1940 were 85 per cent, above those of the similar months of 19 39 while the price remained approximately the same. Income from the sale of flax was nearly four times as great because of the higher prices combined with much higher deliveries. The cash received from the sale of meat animals was up 23 per cent for the period with hogs mak­ ing the main contribution to this increase. Despite the fact that hog prices averaged slightly below those of 193'9 the greatly increased mar­ ketings resulted in an increase of 41 per cent, in farmers’ cash in­ come from this source. The decline in cattle marketing was offset by somewhat higher prices. Dairy producers also received greater income from all classes of production. There was a rise of 30 per cent, in receipts from cheese, 11 per cent, from butter fat and from 5 to 10 per cent from fluid milk. In discussing the outlook for the balance of 1940 the Dominion Bur­ eau of Statistics report suggests that it is not likely that the in­ crease in income during the last 5 months of 1940 will be so great as was the case earlier in the year. ■While the increased ,marketings’ and higher prices for some prod­ ucts will tend to increase cash in­ come, on the other hand restricted grain marketings will reduce in­ come from that important source. 60th Wedding Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Harry Chapman, of Mitchell, celebrated theii’ 60 th wed­ ding anniversary on .Saturday.

WILTSHIRE SIDES CANADIAN STANDARDS As a guide in maintaining uni­ form standards in all Canadian plants exporting Wiltshire sides and and export cuts of bacon, the pub­ lication “Canadian Standards for the Preparation of Wiltshire Sides and Cuts” has been issued by the Marketing Service, Dominion De­ partment of Agriculture. The in­ structions contained in the publica­ tion have been prepared by a sub­ committee of the Bacon Standards Committee set up in conjunction with the administration of Bacon Grading Regulations and the Bacon Board. The instructions embody the best practise followed as a re­ sult of long experience ‘by exporters, and the requirements for the pre­ paration of export meats are item­ ized under various sections, such as, type and quality and handling of live hogs from farm to killing floor, killing floor operations, chilling methods and conditions, cutting operations, freezing, defrosting, curing operations, grading and sel­ ecting, packing operations, ship­ ping arrangements and sanitary ne­ cessities in general from killing floor to steamship. The publication is set up in two sections (1) Bacon Board require­ ments which include those items known as good practice and capable of accomplishment by all Canadian exporters, and (2) Bacon Board recommendations which comprise items regarded as good practice, but for various reasons, physicians or otherwise may not be capable of accomplishments to the full extent by all exporters. Several illustra­ tions in tihe publication emphasize certain points explained in the text, for example, export cuts, wrapping sewing and roping. It is a complete guide.

Anderson o—o—o Johnnie Pinktoe rose from his bed early one morning- not long ago, and oh, lie was so good natured. He said he could beat his daddy dress­ ing, and he did too for his daddy had to shave and that took quite a few minutes. But Johnnie thinks his daddy is just fine for he shaves every morning to please Mother, just as every daddy should, for it makes him look so nice and smooth. On this particular morning John­ nie’s daddy said he was going to take a holiday and if Mama and all the rest of the family cared to why they would take a run with the car up to Kallimajinks, So they got the big basket ready and away they went. They reached that city about noon and went across the bridge to the park. And oh, what a good dinner they had. They built a fire in a little stove on a great big bench and fried some bacon and eggs', and they put all the good things on the big table and every­ body enjoyed the dinner very much. After dinner all the boys and men who were in the park played ball and got acquainted. The day was quite warm and while the mgn and boys were playing ball the wo­ men and girls sat on the nice seats in the shade and did fancy work or read books, and so the afternoon soon slipped by and everybody had to prepare for home. It was over sixty miles >to their home so they left about five o’clock so as to get home in good time for the little boys and girls to go >to bed. When they got about half way home they stopped on the edge of a beautiful woods and^built a fire and had some supper. They all seemed loathe to leave such a love­ ly spot for they were having such a wonderful time but the night was coming on and they had to obey their daddy’s command “All aboaxd.” There were more than a dozen in the party for Johnnie’s Mama and Papa had invited some others to go and Johnnie s uncle had tak­ en his auto well filled too. They were a jolly crowd and they say they are going to plan to have many such trips this coming sum­ mer. Every body praised Johnnie very highly for the way he behaved for he had a smile for everyone he met. And if you like these stories about Johnnie and want me to, I’ll tell you next time about Johnuie and his kite. MITCHELL BAKESHOP DAMAG­ ED BY FIRE IFire damaged the bakeshop of L.
