Tractor Burned. — An accident which might easily have been at- tended with more serious results hap- , pend to the threshing outfit which was in charge of Clifton Brintnell, and owned by Garnet .MelFells of Ex- eter. 'The outfit had left Arthur Ford's farm on the fourth concession of Us boron and' was proceeding to Garne- Frayne's, 'When it was making the turn at Cornish's corners, two and a half miles 'east of Exeter on the 'Thames Road, the large 45 h.p. trac- tor burst into flames. The fire, it is su'pp'osed, was caused from a hot box. There 'being so much ail soaked thistledown and dust on the machine, the flames spread all over it. The only chance to fight the fire was a small fire extinguisher, which was in itself, insufficient. Passing motorists informed the neighbors along the dines by telephone, but the damage was cloiie before their arrival, Mr. A'lc- Falls had .gone to town and left the ,machine in charge of his helper. For- t'un'ately for ,the rest of the outfit there was a strong easterly wind which blewthe flames in an opposite direction, One thoughtful farmer brought a team of hlorses and pulled rhe separator away from the burning tractor. Alfie Dayman sent his tractor to the scene and ,towed 't'he fire - swept machine to the yard of Sam'son 'M1cFalls, where it will be repaired. The. damage is estimated at $300.

THANKS to his pass- book, the happy day need not be longer post- poned. Regular weekly deposits have given him such a substantial Savings Reserve that he can now commence his pleasant task of supporting two instead of one. Quite rightly, he looks upon his little red passbook as his best friend— because it will bring so much of happiness and security. Whatever your objective may be, you can bring its fulfilment steadily nearer if you deposit a certain, unvarying sum every week. PROVINCE OF �ASLvNGS!TICE EVERY DEPQ'�'/TGUS o�LNTEii?
