The fire had gained too ; much headway, when observed, to save the contents which included 40 i tons of hay and a number of farm ’ implements. The burned barn is not I the one on the home farm but on the I farm, on the same concession, owned | by Mr. A. Armstrong,—Brussels Post. I | i Mr, Vincent Lane, of the 3rd con­ cession of McKillip, brought into The Expositor office on Friday last, a sheaf of Early Alaska oats that is the best sample of oats we have seen this year, or are likely to see. The straw was bright and the heads very large and full, and it was grown on good land, well fertilized. The field was cut on July 20th, and the yield will run seventy bushels to the acre.—Seaforth Expositor. Lightning Bolt Becomes Rough With Fireplace Blasting a grate from the fireplace, lightning did considerable damage to the apartment of B. D. Henry, man­ ager of the Royal Bank, Kincardine, early Thursday. The bolt struck the chimney and the explosion which fol­ lowed tore the grate from the fire­ place and filled the room with debris, j Though the storm was general and severe throughout the district, the Henry apartment was the only place damaged. Bull Attacks Hensall Farmer Attacked by a bull at his farm, Har­ ry Strang, 31-year-old Hensall district farmer, was taken to Victoria Hos­ pital. He is suffering from a fractur­ ed hip and abrasions on his head and face. His condition was reported from hospital as fairly satisfactory. He received aid at his home from Dr. Dunlop and Dr. Fletcher, both of Ex­ Oats Run 70 Bushels to the Acre eter, and then was removed to hos­ pital for treatment of the hip frac­ ture.

Acid Indigestion, Colds, Headaches, Bilious Attacks, Constipation OFTEN START THIS WAY Some people are what are known as acid-makers. They can’t help it—and often they don’t know it, The results of an excess of acid may seem just like ordinary stomach trouble — but they can’t be put right by ordinary stomach remedies 1 Excess acid may be the reason why you wake up flat, sour, bleary-eyed, bilious -— and the reason why fierce purgatives only leave you in the grip of ^weakening habit and the same old symptoms. But there’s one thing that acid can’t face. That’s the neutralizing power of Vange Salts, the alkaline remedy with the natural mineral spa action. A tea­ spoonful in warm water surges through your system just like the medicinal spring water far away in England where Vange Salts come from. Excess acid is neutralized quickly, painlessly. Your blood is purified of poisons. Your sore stomach walls are soothed. And that mass of hard, poisonous waste matter lying in your intestines is softened gently, naturally, and passed out of your body. Then do you feel good! It’s marvellous! But the most marvellous thing is that Vange Salts are only 60 cents a tin! At your drug­ gist now—but if you’re wise, on your bathroom shelf tonight! | property owners of the village call­ ing for the expenditure of $15,000 on an addition to the high school to pro­ vide for the teaching of home econ­ omics and manual training. The re­ maining part of the cost would be de­ frayed by Government grants. The matter has been discussed for some time and an architect had submitted plans. The Village Council had pass­ ed the by-law and approval of the On­ tario Municipal Board alone remained to set everything in operation. To the surprise of the school board this was refused and although a delegation from the council and board went to Toronto where they were assured the financial position of the village was one of the best for a place of its size, the approval was still withheld. 7000 Attended Seaforth Carnival The Seaforth Lions Club w’ater carnival drew the largest crowd that has been in Seaforth in some time. The attendance was estimated all the way from 4,000 to 7,000 people. The two and a half acres of the grounds was simply packed with people. Per­ fect weather favored the Lions in this the‘biggest and most successful event that they have staged at the pool. Brick Work Completed Brick work at the post office has been completed including the clock | panel and roof cupboard for housing! the clock.

Away to The Canadian Rockies years Cow and Pawn in Strange Friendship We have heard of dogs adopting cats, chickens adopting ducks, but when a cow takes a young deer as it ward, that's something out of the ordinary. Such a thing actually hap­ pened near Meldrum Bay, Manitoulin Island. The story was told us by Mr. John Murray of Meldrum Bay, who visited here recently, and in order to prove the tale he sent us a picture of the fawn taking a meal in the approv­ ed fashion. As the deer grew upj it became a real pet. — Southampton Beacon. Caught Arm in Washer Wringer June Courtney, young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Courtney, Durham Street, was the victim of a painful ac­ cident Tuesday when she caught her arm in the rollers of a power wring­ er at her home. Her arm was badly wrenched before the power could be shut off. Dr. M. R. Helliwell attend­ ed th’e girl.—Kincardine News. Young Farm Worker Has Skull Fractured Mervyn Butchart, a young Brant Township farmer, is in General Hos­ pital, Toronto, suffering from a frac­ tured skull received when struck by a broken piece of hay fork, as it fell from the peak of the barn in which he was working, near Eden Grove vil­ lage. Young Butchart was at work in the mow when hay unloading opera­ tions were in progress. The strain was apparently too great for the one end of the track on which the load was being carried and a section of some three feet broken loose. Mer­ vyn was directly below and received the full force which knocked film un­ conscious. Medical attention found that he had suffered a badly fractured skull. Vote to End Dispute Over School Building The Exeter Municipal Council decided to submit a by-law to has the Fined for Selling Sunday Groceries John Robinson, youthful Bayfield grocer, admitted he had sold, of a Sunday, a tempting basketful of gro­ ceries to a hungry, tourist. There were tomatoes, peaches, butter, oliv­ es, oranges and cereal. But the tour­ ist was relieved of his groceries by a watchful policeman. In Magistrate Makins’ court the grocer was fined $2.and costs, or $7 in all, and was given back his groceries, minus the perishable articles. Anew and harmonious note in travel literature is the latest Brinley “Away” book—“Away to The Canadian Rockies and British Columbia”—by Gordon Brinley, with illustrations by her artistic husband, Putnam Brinley. Drawn to Western Canada by a booklet on the pleasures enjoyed by the Trail Riders of the Cana­ dian .Rockies, the ' “Travelling Brinleys” spent an entire summer in the pursuit of happiness — and of notes and illustrations for an addition to their popular series of travel books. In her happy, lucid style, Gor­ don Brinley, the writer, tells of their visit to Calgary to see the West’s largest rodeo and prepare for a long pack trip to Mount Assiniboine. They spent a holiday with the Sky-Line Trail Hikers and the Trail Riders of the Cana­ dian Rockies, visiting Moraine Lake, Larch Valley, and magnifi­ cent Yoho Valley, and thoroughly enjoyed the novelty of living in Indian teepees, fishing for trout in lakes in the clouds, and thrill­ ing to the changing pageantry of their surroundings. Further adventures carried them to such famous lakes as Louise, Emerald, and O’Hara, right over the Great Divide into British Columbia, and on to Van­ couver where they discovered another vivid countryside and ex­ cellent fishing in the Vancouver Island salmon runs. The two adventure-loving Am­ ericans have a large following of readers who will see the Cana­ dian West through their eyes, at­ tracted by the charming drawings by Mr. Brinley, the blithe and readable text by Mrs. Brinley, and the definite practical information they incorporate in their book for those who would follow in their footsteps. The pictures above show Mr. and Mrs. Brinley (photo by Peter Whyte) and some of the Cana­ dian Rockies’ scenery they like best.

Old Cider Mill Burns; Warehouse Threatened About midnight last Tuesday an old cider mill belonging to Nicholas Schaus, in Neustadt, five miles south of Hanover, was completely destroy­ ed by fire. The fire obtained such a headway before being discovered that all efforts to save it were abandoned and turned to saving a large ware­ house nearby, belonging to Kepplers Furniture Company, of Hanover, and a lumber pile, belonging to William Kinkley, of Neustadt. The latter was considerably damaged before the fire could be checked. not balancing their budgets. This en­ courages dishonesty. Many are buy­ ing things and promising to pay. They do not keep their promises. They are making liars out of themselves with the baker, the butcher and grocer. Can the weekly newspaper tide?

The same problems must be in everybody's mind. I feel sure that the 700 weekly newspapers can help solve them. My I suggestions are: (1) Print the policy or platform of your paper in a conspicuous place each week . . . Keep banging away at the measures you advocate.

(3) Stress “Self-Reliance" as. a strong human attribute.

Last year, the Club held a school at Maple Leaf Stadium in Toronto, but owing- to the fact that a great many players were unable to make the trip to the Queen City, it was deemed advisable to go out into the Province this summer and reach as many points as possible. The places selected are regarded as central points embracing the Ontario Base­ ball Association. It is planned to spend two days in each place. The dates selected are St. Catharines Aug. 15-16, London, August 17-18, Kitch­ ener, August 19-20, Owen Sound, Wist: Where do the bugs go in the winter time? Wrep: Search me!
