Barn Burned Fire which broke out Wednesday morning last week about 2.30 o'clock completely destroyed a frame barn owned by Fred Emberlin, near Luck­ now. In the barn at the time of the fire were five young pigs, which could not be saved as the structure was a mass of flames when noticed by a neighbor, Harold Johnston, who gave the alarm. Fortunately Mr. Em- berlin’s two cows were not in the barn at the time. The fire is thought to have started from a spark nearby where grass had been burned by the owner.

Clark, together with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Clark and Lloyd, motored to Montreal, and had I the great privilege and ‘pleasure of | seeing the S. S. Montclare sail into that great harbour—with the thrill of answering salutes from dear familiar friends. The first’part of Miss Clark’s voy­ age (from Labito Bay, Africa, to Southampton, England), on the Ger­ man boat, Usaramo, took twenty­ seven days, with extreme heat as they hovered over the equator, calling at West African ports, and later, very cool weather in the open ocean. The voyage from England to Montreal on the Montclare occupied eight days.

The now car, pur­ chased this summer, was considerably damaged, Grass Fire Near Lucknow Excitement was caused when fire­ men and citizens generally received a hurried call to assist in extinguishing a grass fire about a mile east of the 8? 14 J to other motorists I ASK YOU to please remember, as you hurry along the highways bound for some distant point, that it costs you nothing to be courteous to other drivers and it saves you money. •1 It costs you nothing to sound your horn on the highway as you are about to overtake a fellow motorist and it may prevent an accident and thereby save you money. It costs you nothing to give the other fellow a wide berth when you meet him and it may prevent a- side-swipe and thereby save you money. It costs you nothing to hand-signal your intention, to slow down, turn or stop and it may prevent a collision and thereby save you money. It costs you nothing to “nip” along at the speed of the traffic you are in and it prevents other motorists from having to “cut-in” in order to get “there” and thereby removes one of the greatest causes of costly accidents. It costs you nothing to be courteous and considerate of your companions of the road and it will prevent accidents and thereby save dollars and cents for everybody and prevent broken bones and broken, hearts as well. So I appeal to you from the standpoint of sheer economy to be courteous to other motorists on all occasions. Practise and preach the golden rule of the road — “Show to others the same courtesy that you would like to have shown to you”. Sincerely yours.

The application should not be used after bulbs commence to form, as it is very poisonous. If it is not proposed to treat rad­ ishes, severe losses may be avoided by broadcasting seed instead of sow­ ing in drills. The same treatment will give bene­ ficial control to Onion maggot, if at least two applications arc made, at the proper time. 800 ROOMS Come in any time- at any hour-you cant CLIFFORD P°y more ^an for a single room with R.TAYLOR both and plenty are offered at & & $2?° Managing Director Good food every comfort,-every luxury Hotel TULLER FACING GRAND CIRCUS PARK
