U, Salm, Manager THURSDAY, SEPT. 2terii,1010 rhesesearesteressesatimeeseemeetheistet The announcement by the Depart - Mont of Public Works, Toronto, of a plan to link up every county in the province in the province -wide Good Roads movement, is a step in the right direction. Canada's Part in the War The part which Canada is taking in the war illustrates anew the tremeu- dons importance which attached to the reciprocity struggle in 1011. Recent history has demonstrated how much the welfare of the Empire hung upon the decision which the Canadian peo- ple gave in rejectiug the anti-British o trade policy of the Laurier Govern. Ment. It was argued then by the Conservative party that reciprocity, as proposed in the Knox -Fielding agree- ment, would place the natural resour• ces of Canada absolutely at the mercy of the United Sates. Liberals denied •it, but they favoured reciprocity at any price, just as Laurier years ago announced that to would take the American dollar any day in preference to the Einglieh shilling. Where would Canada have been in this war if the Laurier reciprocity bungle had succeeded? What help would this country have been able to give to Great Britain in nsuring a sure food supply at moderate cost: Could it have been done at all? The Laurier policy would have placed the Canadian food supply absolutely in the hands of the United States, in the hands of those who control the "mar- ket of ninety millions," Canada, with the other Dominions, has contributed enormous stores of cheap food supplies for the Motherland. The United States have held out for the highest price for their food supplies. Recipro- city would have enabled them to exact that highest price on Canadian food supplies; but Canada is today in the best possible. position to prevent the cornering of supplies for her powerful neighbor. This should afford fond for some thought by those Liberals who worked so bard to destroy the fiscal independence of Canada, IN OPERA ROUSE SEPT. 29TII, Kincardine Fair A Success Although Kincardine Fair did not get fair weather, it was successful and drew a large crowd. The races, al- though only a few horses were present were good, It was a lucky day for Kincardine fair when J. J. Bunter was elected secretary. The fair was a dead issue, but by adding races and bringing in other epecial attractions Kincardine can now hold their own on fair day even though other societies hold theirs on the same day as Pinker t in and Port Elgin did this year, not saying anything about the weather conditions. When Hunter puts the vim and pep into anything it must go ahead. Charles Addley Dead. An illness of nearly 2 years of can cer of the jaw culminated in the death - of Mr. Charles Addley, who passed away at his home here shortly after noon on Saturday last in his 655th year. The deceased, who was born on a farm near London, Ont., had the misfortune to get his right arm so badly mangled in the cogs of a threshing machine, Which he was oiling, that the limb had to be amputated near the shoulder. As this happened early in life he was obliged to make the balance of the journey here with this great handicap. After following the trade of carriage and house painter in Wingham and Kincardine he came to Walkerton about a quarter of a century ago.— Walkerton Times -Reread. 1;I.I)ON Wl;S'1'MAN Tar endo s Soloist and Accompanist CAMP BORDEN NATES Last Saturday an inspection of the horses of the 5th Brigade took place, the horses and equipment of the Quit er were in one class, and the transport men and their hence in another class, Our townsman Pte. J. Latrouica won first prize, for neatness good horse- manship and good riding. Lady Le• gie very gracefully presenting the prize, One hundred and eighty coal oil stoves were last week issued to the leilet Battalion, to be distributed, one for each sleeping tent, they are greatly appreciated by the boys, who are now able to have an oxo hot drink before going to bed, The one great question on each lip, of every boy of the 161st is "Shall we go overseas this falls'" Ancl echo an- swers "This Pall." All who were absent on leave the previous week were examined on Mon- day by a board of medical men, as to their physical condition for overeeae. At time of writing we are unable to give further details. Though the following did not take place in Camp Borden, one of our camp boys was concerned in the same. Be was home on leave recently when his mother asked him to take and de- stroy an old woollen mattress which had been in use for many years, but Tommy Canuck did not believe in throwing away so faithful a servant. A neighbOl was shipping wool and Tommy pulled the mattress to pieces and shipped the wool with that of the neighbor, The mattress weighed 33 the and sold for 30e per lb, thus realiz- ing enough money to procure a splen- did new one. Cost of Paper Delays Book of Praise. The committee named by the Gener- al Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada to revise the Book of Praise now used in the Church, is in session at Knox College. This coin• mittee will carrythe work to a con- clusion as soon as possible, but the new book will not be published until the war is over. The reason for this is because of the high cost of paper at the present time. It is hoped that when the war is over the cost of pro. duction will fall again to normal, and the hew hymnal will then be placed in the Church. St. Miens. Word has been received here that Pte, Arthur Lavis of Sr. Helens has been killed in action, When he enlisted he was hard- ly up to the age requirement, but was al- lowed ,to go overseas With the 71st. The Lavis family is a patriotic ane. Mr, Lavis Sr., is with the 191st boys and two sons enlisted in England. Another is in the navy. «.ser ®.,mss WANTED!

Great Persistence Is Required In Get- ting Rid of the Pest. There Is no sleight of band. way of getting rid of quack glass. ' A Douglas county further who bas had successful experience along this tine was right when he wrote, "Any )lie who starts out to extermluate luack grass must begin with the un' :lerstandiug that his undertaking will exact of him an unlimited amount of ;cit, determination, back ache and el• low grease." The method to be used depends, among other tUint;s, upon the nature of the field and upon how thick the e w sed Is grotviug. Oil small areas of not over two or three rods square it is perhaps most easily and effectively killed by ;mothering. Tar paper or some like ma; terial has been used with good results. To make smothering successful, ac- cording to A. L. Stone, state weed in- spector, the material must be extended well over the edges of the patch. Suc- ess depends almost entirely on shut- ting out an the light from all the weeds. if tliey do not get the light the plants 'annot grow and will soon die, On large areas smothering is hardly practicable, An acre or a whole field Jvergrown with quack grass is a more QT;Acic GRASS. serious proposition, and yet it can be just as surely managed as the small patch if only thorough enough methods are employed. Great persistence is re• quired in keeping fight after the pest until it is gone for good. To rid large fields of quack grass two things are essential—first, the ready prevention of all greeu leaf growth; second, bringing the roots out of the ground by some means easier and quicker than hand digging. Summer fallowing is regarded by many as the best way to accomplish this. Some have smothered the weeds by means of a thick heavy growth of some crop like hemp, rye or clover. As a rule, however, when quack grass has once taken full possession of a field no other crop, no matter how thickly sowu, can be relied upon to control or eradicate it. 040009000004000046 4, •0 0 ^O ABOUT HAYMAKING. 0 O "Haste, my hearties!"

One shell is cut down so as to show the nuts, and on first showing it the person might pay, '‘oh those are simply packed in the shell", but the other is not damaged in any way and it can readily be aster. tallied that the nuts have grown in the shell.

Employees are being trained to treat; telephone callers with the same degree of courtesy and consideration that obtains in a face-to-face conversation. And the result for those who practice telephone courtesy faithfully is a constantly growing vt ltune of telephone trade and good -will.
