'TIS A BAD WEED Last week we noted a certain weed brought into thisoffice by a Hullett township s p f r a n et, Mr, MacLeod, ag- iicultnral representative, sent the specimen to Guelph for identification, receiving the following letter in re- turn: "Dear Mr. MacLeod: Your letter of the 26th instant received. The weed which you sent under separate cover is the Sand Bur or Beaked Nightshade (Solanum rostt'atum), This plant is an annual and is a very common weed in the west and southwestern states. It occurs spar- ingly in the southern part of Ontar- io. This year it has ,been reported from many parts of the Province.

THEN AND NOW Fifteen years ago Canada was en- gaged in floating ,one of the most successful of its war loans, National enthusiasm was at its highest pitch. Business was booming and money was plentiful. Results exceeded the fondest hopes, nearly 800,000 citizens subscribing for the 1919 Vietory Loan Bonds. True, the income yield of 5% was very attractive, :but opinion then was, that people subscribed more from their wholehearted deme to assist national reeonstrucion math- er than because of the attractive rate of interest. Holders of these 1919 Victory Bonds, which will mature November• lst, are now being asked to conver t them into :bonds of the 1934 Refund, THURS., OCT. 4th, 1934' Huron Presbytery Met 'III glalmesville Church Thursday Last Presbytery met on Thursday, Sept. 27th at Iloimesville.

Presbytery, placed itself o n , record i n no uncertain ' terms when the following resolution was unanimously adopted; "That we :hereby aired the secre- tary of the Presbytery to communi- cate at once with the Parliament .at Ottawa and with the Legislature at Toronto to protest against the action of the Ontario Government in the granting, of "Authorities" for the sale of .beer' and wine within the County of Huron, believing, as we do, that the Canada Temperance Aet, as endorsed by the people by overwhel- ming majorities, is legally in effect at the present time within the area we represent" Rev.

THE OLD, TRICK FARM NEAR BAYFIELD-CLIN- - TON ROAD HAS LONG HISTORY Built About 90 Years Ago It Still Operates ,By Water Power. Though Hidden Away in Beauty Spot. By J. McTavish in The Free Press A pleasant road connects Clinton and Bayfield. Beautiful pastoral vis- tas greet the eye of travellers many times along the way. Nevertheless, the most interesting thing, located in perhaps the most alluring place of all is missed. Persons are not aware of this simply because it is obscured from view by a small cedar swamp through which a lively spring brook finds it way, the souece of supply for the pond beyond. "To reach this beautiful place of seclusion it is necessary to leave the main thoroughfare about four miles from Clinton, then follow a lane -like 'road, which runs straight for perhaps a quarter of a mile, then turns a- bruptly. leftwards to terminate in a truly picturesque part of a farm. Hem is the unique setting of an old- time grist mill, which stands almost hidden by cedars and elms and maples and poplars until we are almost be- side it. An inviting pond also looms up about the same time, another pleasant surprise." Thoughts of the trees, the mill and. the writer give rise to feelings that are not easly analysed, oe defined. Therefore forbearance is asked till we quote the first stanza of "The Water Mill" by Brigadier -General lVIcCal- lum: "Listen to the water -mill Through the livelong day- How the clinking of the wheel Wears the weary hours away. Languidly the autumn winch Stirs the withered leaves; On the field the reapers sing, Binding up the sheaves; And a proverb to my mind, As a spell is cast; •"The mill will never grind With the water that is past." The history of inilIs for producing flour dates back for years. Our fore- ing Loan. That the majority of hold- ers of 1919 Victory Bonds will avail themselves of this privilege there can be no doubt. They know what a safe and profitable investment they have had and will surely wish to continue it. The record of Dominion of Can- ada Bonds during the past few years when investors have suffered loss of capital and distress of min 1, demon- strates conclusively that there is no safer investment than Dominion of Canada Bonds.. Security of principal le paramount in any investment. Con sequently, whenthe unassailable se- eurity of Dominion of Canada Bonds. is coupled with so desirable an in- come yield as is offeredby the new Bonds, the response from those hav- ing bands to Convert' e] v asw lasa- P plications from new investors should lie both `patnpt' and enthusiastic. fathers were more or less familiar with several kinds. Some were driv- en by wind/ others by water and still others by steam. !Electrically operated mills, of course, were unknown,. In this coun- try steam supplied thepower for most mills. The Windmill We usually associate the windmill with Holland and the Dutch. The great arms of the wind mill eatch the wind which eauses them to revolve, and, by so doing, to set the grinding vollerw to work inside the mill,' No doubt there are artists who would differ from us in the belief that water -mills are the most picturesque of them alt They vie with wind- mills for supremacy in this respect. To operate one kind of water -mill, the miller, when he wants to grind wheat, closes the gates, or ,sluices, in the stream, collecting the °necessary+ , quantity of water, when this is re- leased to rush over the wheel, it is caught in the traps upon it with sufficient force to cause it to revolve. The spinning of the wheel causes the upper grindstone to go ,round and powder the wheat. Some mills have the wheel inside the mill, the water flowing through a sluice or flume to make the wheel go round by racing under it. Generally speaking in the old-time trills there are two grindstones, one above the other, called the nether and the upper stones. The. wheat is pour- ed down a chute and tiuough a hole in the top grindstone which revolves. The nether stone is stationary. The wheat is forced between the two and ground fine. The husk is removed or stripped from the kernels by the grinding process and is known as bran. The bran is removed from the flour by means of sifters. It is only the inside of the wheat that is con- sidered' to be 'flour. On Trick Farm The old mill near Clinton is -en tha farm of Richard Trick, It is known locally as Trick's mill. It is driver) by water supplied by the pond and was erected by a man named CharIes- worth about ninety years ago. Prior to this an oatmeal mill was in operation for several years on the opposite side of the stream. It might readily be inferred that many persons from Scotland had settled in that lo- cality, because report is to the effect that a thriving business was done. Mr. Trick informed us, with a twin- kle in his eye, that it took three days to raise the frame work of the water rill—~without whiskey. IIe wondered haw quickly the task would have been completed if a fair-sized keg of the real stuff had been on hand. The first gang of men who came to raise and adjust the frame -work, re- turned to their homes before starting the job, because they learned that no liquor of an intoxicating nature would be supplied. Another set of workers were procured and the task was per- formed satisafetoriiy, even if it did take' three days. • Mr. Trick's father, the late Thomas Trick, took over the mill in 1873. It was then a three-story, frame build- ing, with the sides and ends made from boards running straight up and down. Some years ago the building was made lower by removing one story. The boards then were taken off one side and off the front and re- placed horizontally. The flume which conveys water from the pond or clam is made front a number of large iron boilers united together by rivets. One of these, at least, was conveyed by wagon all the way from Port Franks. There is also an iron -box wheel house, and the wheel we believe is of the turbine type, which revolves on a vertical axis. While looking over some grind- stones that had been discarded; we were told that they were supposed to have been imported from France and cost about $300 each. They are made from burr stone, very .hard and very rough,. and grooved. In time usage 'wears the grindstones smooth; then they have to be re -grooved by the aid ofs a hammer suitable for that purpose. Different wood dams' Were in use till 1906 when the present owner had one made of cement. At this time it was deemed advis- able to discontinue making flour and to operate for chop only, to supply the needs of farmers living in that locality.' The mill in itself might be prosaic; but it is only part of the picture; and the whole sets imagination aglow. Twilight comes on apace. The mill is silhoutted against a western sky through a space between trees. The pond becomes mist -wreathed. Still - teas is broken by the chatter of birds,a among the reeds, by the occasional splash of a fish in the pond. Small bats dart and flit hither and thither. Presently we find ourselves medi- tating, on a small bridge, underneath which the waste water seemingly in turbulent glee snakes the greatest voice of all. It rushes forth in eager haste to become once more a lively brook hard on its way to pain the greater waters of the Bayfield River some rods away: Darkness sets in with the thoughts of Words from a sweet lyric by Dun- can Campbell Scott coining to fit the spell: "Wary hurry little river, Why hurry to the seal' There is nothing there to de g But to sink into the blue And all ,forgotten lie"
