All re- gretted the absence of Mr. and Mrs. John Baker, of Vancouver, B.C., who were present three years ago, but could not attend this time. Soon after the noon hour they began to ar„- rive Golf putting, football, baseball and horseshoe 'pitching were indulged in during the afternoon. About 5 p.m. when all had arrived pictures were taken of the group, after which sup- per was announced. All joined in the blessing by singing "Be Present at Our Table, Lord." Everyone seemed to do justice to the good things pro- vided. Then the little folks and in- deed several adults played "ring - around -'a -rosy, the farmer's in his den" and other games for the amuse- ment of the children. As darkness strains of the violVunder the cap - closed in, dancing menced to the able management of the McKaig Bros. Modern dances as well as old-timers were danced. One could' hear the floor manager calling such changes as four on the head, right and left; gents dos -de -dos and swing your part- ners all. Considerably after midnight the Home, Sweet Home waltz was played, when all joined in singing "Auld Lang Syne," "For They Are Jolly Good Fellows" and "God Save the King," thus 'bringing to a close a very enjoyable gathering.

Mr. Parsons has proven his ability as a nieht watchman and the business men will sympathize with him on account of his illness. :His physician has or- dered a complete rest in the hope that his condition may improve. He is a war veteran, one of the stalwarts who came back broken down in health. His successor, Mr. Waring, too, should prove a good man for the job. There has already been some grain marketed. The sample so far has proven fee below par, real good looking white wheat testing 56 ponds to the bushel, while barley is even worse, being discolored and running 40 pounds to the bushel. The yield per acre is aboilt 25 bushols average. Already movements of coal have been active during the darkened hours between one and four o'clock in the morning. One of the local coal men set a watch during the past week and at two a.m. a touring car was seen to drive up to the coal heap and the intruder was busily loading coal in the car under cover of the night. Now the coal men have threat- ened to load up night trespassers with cold lead in addition. This procedure may 'prove an expensive prowl for some who would rather steal than buy.

Canadian dealers have made repre- sentations to the Seed Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture urging that the attention of farmers in hay producing districts be 'brought to this. fault. The bulk of baled hay is used by carters and truckmen, who have'to carry the bales some distance to get them to the feeding loft. When balue runs 150 pounds or more in weight this is a heavy job, so heavy in fact that the buyer will pass up the heavy ltale for one which he can handle with greater ease. The popular demand in the hay market to -day is for the light three *ire bale weighing around 120 lbs. Farmers in hay districts who are using presses are Urged' to give atten- tion to the stated preference of 'dealers and buyers in the hay market. In a, good year for hay almost any kind of a bale can be sold, but with market conditions such as they are this year and with the restricted out - et which prevails, every attention should be given to putting up bales of hay of a weight desired by the market. LIVE STOCK MARKETS Union Stock Yards, Toronto, August 11th. -,-Cattle supply at the Union Stook Yards Yesterday was some 400 head heavier than on the opening day of last week, and the offer- ing was largely plain to medium quality.
