Won the $et. It was a tavern where a newly arriv- ed commercial traveller was holding forth. "I'll bet anyone $5," he said, "that I have got the hardest name of anyone in this room." An old farmer in the background shifted his feet to a warmer part of the fender. "Ye will, will ye?" he drawled. "Well, I'll take ye on. I'll bet ye, ten agin your five that my name'll beat yours." "Done!" cried the commercial travel- ler. "I've got the hardest name in the the country. It is Stone." The old man took a chew at his to- bacco. "Mine,` " he said, "is Harder." Fruit Crop Report. The August fruit crop report has been issued by the fruit division of the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa. For district No. 2 (including the coun- ties bordering on Lake Huron) the apple report is: "Winter varieties show no improvement, the Spy and King being particularly scarce. Russets, Baldwins and Ben Davis show slightly less than a medium crop. The Wagner, though not much grown promises a fair crop," Apple Scab . is reported from nearly all parts of the country, but this district is comparatively clear of it. The apple crop -in Great Britain and the Continent is reported to be short this year, but there is a good crop in the United States. The market prospects for Canada apples this fall are, on the whole, good, especially for winter fruit. On the other hand, the price of barrels is high, 40 and 45 cents. Apple growers will do well to secure their supply of barrels as early as possible, as their appears to be every prospect of a shortage in barrel stock.

In the Globe during the past week appeared a two column advertisement advertising Moosejaw properties for sale, and the public are assured that "the man with the wheat is the man. behind your investment." That's all right and probably true, but the funny part of the "ad" is the fact that a pic- ture of a Goderich township wheat field is used to illustrate the statement and to emphasize it in the mind of the reader. The picture is a reproduction of one of Sallows' photos taken in a wheat field of Mr. John Salkeld, with Mr. S. himself standing waist deep in it and sampling the grain, as "the man with the wheat." Huron makes a pretty good advertisement yet.-Gode- rich Star. Sir Wilfrid Laurier opened his tour at Marieville with a vigorous address. W. R. Hambly, B.Sc , M.D.,•C M. Wiughrnn, Ontario.
