THE NEW SUBWAY
AND AUTOMOBILE ENTRANCE
AT QU'EEN'S PARK
Western Fair .Dates
' Sept, Gth to 14th
For sotne years past the nuiuber of
people, who have attended the West-
ern Fair: coming in their automobiles
from the .surrounding country has
increased until last year the ques-
tion of room to take care of the cars
was a problem, which was almost
too great for the management to
handle as it was nearly impossible
to get either: in or out of the King
Street gate.
This, year 'the directors have solv-
ed the problem and at a very heavy
expenditure of money have built a
subway under the track, and will
have a special entrance for automo-
biles on,y at the north-east corner
of the grounds, corner of Dundas and
Egerton Sts; The drivers after un-
loading their passengers (who will
also have a special entrance) will .go
through the subway and 'park their
ears inside the ring where they may
be left as long' as desired. If the
auto party wish to go to their car
for lunch they will bo allowed to do
so, returning to the grounds by way
of the subway. The price of admis-
sion will be $1.00 for car and driv-
er, including parking. The manage-
ment feel assured this accommoda-
tion will bo a151reciated by the gen-
eral public and that more People
than ever will attend this year's Ex-
Itibittan, Prospects are very bright
for the .best Exhibition ever held in
Leedom. Prize lists, entry forms and
all information will be given or ap-
atteation to the secretary, A: M.
Hunt, Leedolr.

tlement Act, it is provided that all
vacant and available Dominion lands

tricts where there are sufficient avail-
able lands to warrant reservation,

which all remaining vacant lands are
held for returned soldiers.
The reservation is effective against
all applicants for entries on Domin-
ion lands, except returned soldiers
who have their ordinary homestead
right, and except as to existing
rights prior to the reservation. A
returned soldier who has not ex-
hausted iris homestead right may
make ordinary homestead entry in
the reserved areas as if the reserva-
tion had not been made. Soldier en-
tries under the Soldier Settlement
Act will be allowed as soon as the
regulations under that act have been
completed and passed by council.
All entries throughout the western
provinces which in the past few
months have been cancelled or aban-
doned as homesteads, or cancelled
grazing leases or lands coming out
of reserve, except where rights had
been previously acquired have been
reserved for selection by the Soldier
Settlement Board, and this process
will be continded.
It is further provided that along

and the railway belt of British Col-
umbia where lands are held under

faulters considered as being subject
to cancellation proceedings, for the
benefit of the Soldier Settlement
Act,

a letter from the Soldier Settlement
Board certifying to his right under
the act to entry, is given the priv-
ilege of applying for the cancellation
of any existing entry in default, with
a view, if cancelled, to re-entry by
himself under soldier entry.
Any returned soldier having Itis
right under the Soldier Settlement
Act will have the...privilege of ap-
plying for a quarter section of any
vacant and available Dominioalands,
whether it be a reserved area or not.

A Bunch of Law -Breakers
A Walkertonian while standing at
a bar in Kitchener the other day hav-
ing a soft drink saw two strangers
enter and get in a conversation at
once with a number of thirsty souls,
with the result that the pair drew a
flask of whiskey apiece off their hips
and poured a portion tato the soft
stuff that the gang were .lapping up,
The new kick in the moisture tickled
the appetites and awakened a keen
desire for further serving. Seeing
they had the crowd with them, the
strangers opened up a grip and did
the land-office business selling flasks
at $2.50 each to the aggregation,
the hoteikeeper himself investing in
four bottles of 'the elixir for future
Use. After the pair had departed,
the thirsty ones started to pull the
corks and sample their purchase,
Preparing their throats for the real
poison they raiser. the bottles aloft
and iet the contents gurgle down,
but what was their dismay or dis-
covering that Instead of Hiram
Walker's preparation or Joo Sea-
gram's race horse brand they detect-
ed merely the flavor of Salada-Cey-
lon. In other words they had been
duped into baying cold tett for
whiskey, and had paid 82.50 to bottle
for what the servant girls usually
throw into the garbage pail after
meal time. As they were breaking
the statutes themselves, the victims
weren't licensed to squeal, and but
for the Walkertorian peeping, in the
ordinance of the clean-up would nev-
er have got out. --Kincardine Review,

CROP CONDITIONS IN ALBERTA
A telegram from the Alberta .De-
partment of Agriculture dated Aug-
ust 10th states that recent rains
throughout tate southern eourttry.
have made a material improvement
in crop conditions. In certain dis-
tricts of the south where the pros-
pect was poor two weeks ago heavy
rains have fallen and the grain is
now filling nicely. On account of
this moisture the feed situation In
many localities is greatly relieved,
and conditions are much more en-
couraging titan they have been for
some time. After the frost it was
apparent that the greater portion of
the wheat and barley crop was des-
troyed, but as the season advanced
some improvement is noticeable,

deceased that evenni& drove to Vie

been stolen from the floral tokens of
sympathy placed on the' graves of
their departed loved one,, It is hard
to believe that there are those so
absolutely void of all honor and
decency that they will desecrate
God's Holy Aare by stealing front
the dyad, but such is the case. When
they have fallen so low little can be
expected from them. An effort is
being made to, bring the guilty Par-

brought to justice it should be jus-
