During the month 4.3 4 inches of rain fell, precipitation being recorded on 10 days, The lowest tempeiature for the month was 50. LETTER BOX Because of the uncanny manned in which the prophecies of Mother Shipton have been coining to pass during recent years, considerable at tention has been attracted to this strange creature of four centuries ago. Even those who have in the past scoffed at the weird predictions of this ancient “witch” aie now stir red by curiosity to wonder what will occurr next in this direction. Mother Shipton., we are told, was born in Yorkshire, England in July 1488, and died about 1559. In books of information she is described as a half mythical English prophetess, baptised Ursula Southeil, who later married Tony Shipton, a builder. According to tradition, she was the child cf Agatha Shipton and the Devil. The following extracts ifrom her amazing prophecies were taken from a scrap book made more than forty years -ago and owned by a Rochester woman, says the Rochester Demo crat and Chronicle: A house of glass shall came to pass In merry England, but, alas! War will follow with the work In the land of the bloody Turk, And State and State in ifierce strife, Shall struggle for each other’s life. Carriages without horses shall go And accidents fill the world with woe. In London, Primrose Hill shall be, And the center of a bishop’s sea. Around the world thought shall fly In the twinkle of an eye. Through the hills men shall ride And neither horse or ass bestride! Under water men shall walk, I-ron in the water shall *loat As easily as a wooden boat. Gold shall be found and shown In a land that’s now unknown. Fire and water shall wonders do And England shall admit a Jew. Three times three shall lovely France Be led to dance a bloody dance Before the people shall 'be free; Three tyrants rulers shall she see Each springing from a different dynasty And when the last geat (fight is won England and France shall be as one. And now a word in uncouth rhyme Of what shall be in latter time. In those wonderful farr-off days Women shall get a strange new craze To dress like men and breeches wear And cut off their beautiful locks of hair, And ride astride with brazen brow As witches do on broomsticks now. Then love shall die and marrjage cease And babies and “sucklings so decrease That wives shall fondle cats and dogs And men live much the same as hogs. In eighteen hundred and ninety-six Build your homes of ortten sticks . For then shall might wars be planned And fire and sword sweep over the. land And those who live the century thro’^ In fear and trembling this will do. Fly to the mountains and the glens To bogs and forests and wild dens, For tempests will rage and oceans will roar, And Qabried stand on sea and shore And as he toots his wondrous horn Old worlds shall die and new be born, In the air men shall be seen, In white, in black and also- green, Now strange, but yet they shall be true, z The world upside down shall be And gold shall be found at the roots of a tree, When pictures look alive and move ments free, When ships like fishes swim below the sea, When men outstripping birds can scour the sky, Then half the world deep drencheu in blood shall die. At the time the prophecy was ut tered, primrose Hill was two miles from London; now it is nearly in the heart of the city, but a short dis tance from Regent’s Square. On December 11, 1917, the British army entered Jerusalem and cap tured it. PREACHED IN LAND O’ COTTON Rev. Charles L. Lewis, pastor of the Ki-rkton United church circuit, has had an interesting . experience during holidays. He exchanged work for three weeks with Rev. F. B. Wyand,' ipastor of the M. E. chinch at Cumberland, Maryland. After making the arrangements tne two ministers set out by motor with their families and incidently met at Hamilton, Ont. Cumberland is an industrial city of 45,000 people and Mr. Lewis found the folk down there warm-hearted and hospitable. The exchange proved a change for him but by no means a rest. He enjoy ed the experience. Rev. Mr. Wyand is an affable and kindly southerner. He and his family enjoyed their three weeks here very much and were of course kindly and heartily received by the Kirkton folk.—iSt. Marys Journal-Argus.

August 23, 1931 Ta the Editor; Dear Sir,—Tn these days of dust, drought, wind and grasshoppers, many people are asking: “How are the people of the drought area standing up under the sledge-ham mer blows that Natuie has dealt them during these past eight years? What keeps them still standing on their feet, looking with hope toward another year? What keeps them fiom losing heart and giving way to dark despair? What keeps them from going insane as they look out an barren fields for the eighth suc cessive year? What gives them courage as they stand amidst their worn out implements and decayed homes, their bare cupboards and threadbare clothing, and whispers to them: “Try again’?” My answer to all these questions, an answer that I have found to be very satisfy ing, is found in one word, and that word is GOD. I am glad to 'find that my answer is corroborated in a little poem en titled “My 19'3 7 Prayer,” written by Gertrude Wood, President of the Obthorpe Associate Society, Saskat chewan. It is a poem that breaths the spirit of Faith and Hope, Cour age and Cheer, and finds “through Faith's clear eyes that God is -Love.” It is in the hope that this little poem my prove a blessing to many, both in the drought area and in other parts of Canada that I send it forth, Lord, help me to forget the bare brown 'fields, Storm-tortu-red, dry, wind swept, bereft of yields. Let me not watch the stock de jected pass; The sloughs are dry as rock; there’ is no grass. Let me not think all day of gar den .plot Where dusty ridges play, but plants are not iLet me but see the trees, their leaves are- green And birds still nest in these and sing, serene, .Help me to raise my eyes for this is June, .See white puffed June-blue skies and hum a tune, Though as I gaze dust clouds—a ' yellow pall—* New York train? Sweep up and with dim shroua envelop all. Yet Lord, my heart must rise these clouds above .And- 'find through Faith’s clear eyes that God is Love. With such a spirit of Faith tq help them, the people of the drought area will emerge triumphant. Thank you, Mr. Editor, for giving space to this. Gratefully you-rs (Rev.) J. T.

Churches to Aid West Again this fall churches in On tario will send help to people in the dried-out areas of Saskatchewan Plans for the quick mobolization of relief to these unfortunates in the West were made in Toronto recent ly when representatives of the Ro man Catholic church, the Church of England in Canada, the Presbyter ian church, the Baptist church and the United church of Canada met and reorganized the joint commit tee of the churches for Western re lief. Many carloads of fruit, vegetables and clothing were sent from Ontario last year to people in these drought- stricken areas, including a number from Perth and Huron counties. The stody of their 1,500-mile tour of the dried-out areas of Saskatch ewan was told at the meeting in To ronto over the week-end by Right Rev. Dr. Peter Bryce, Moderator of the United church of Canada and Rev. Dr. George Dorey, Associate Secretary Board of Home Missions of the Uniteh church. Letters will go forward to every minister in “favored areas” of uie five churches, urging them to organ ize local communities of ministers and municipal leaders in an effort to collect carloads of fruit and veg etables, canned and fresh, which will go forward at the earliest pos sible moment. A central committee of distribu tion will be organized at once in the drought area. Local ocmmittees of distribution, composed of ministers and municipal leaders, will be set up in th© areas where relief is needed. An objective of 5 00 car loads of fruit and vegetables was de cided upon. Transportation of the fruit and vegetables to the afflicted areas will be without charge, the Canadian Pacific Railway Company and the 'Canadian National Rail ways Company have advised the committee of the 'churches. it FARMERS - - ATTENTION WE REMOVE DEAD HORSES AND CATTLE Call us for prompt service, Our Men Will Shoot Old and Disabled Animals ONTARIO TALLOW CO, ' EXETER, telephone collect—exeter 235 ONTARIO HI $32,000 PRIZE LIST PLAN for a day or two at Western Ontario’s own exhibition.

Rubbing in Cr $«»« Awnf«: Harold F. ftMfc74 A Co., Limited, Toronto I Warning Farmers Regarding Pigs OTTAWA, Sept. 3 — A warning against any abnormal liquidations of unfinshed pigs was voiced by the agricultural department in a state ment issued today forecasting the possibility of a “serious problem if increases in the number of unuinsh ed hogs in county loadings continue at the present rate.” prospect -of de ductions in hog marketings during the next year was basis for tihe warning. “The number of pigs on farms in Canada is probably smaller than in 1936 as the result of a deduction ir spring 'farrowings in all the major producing provinces,” the statement said. “This implies that the supply of bacon-making material available for the export and domestic trade during tihe remainder of 1937 and the greater part of 19 38 may be be low demand. Under such circum stances, any abnormal liquidations of unfinished pigs becomes a serious problem. “While considerable numbers of feeders now being marketed are 'be ing returned to farms where feed is available, present demand may hot be sufficiently broad to handle an increasing volume of suitable kinds. The provinces o»f Manitoba and On tario, each with a very good grain volume, could easily absorb all the good feeder pigs offered and do much to maintain our total output for bacon-making punposes. British Market “It is not necessary to emphasize the 'fact that one of our most impor tant tasks is tihe holding of our .present position in the British mar ket in respect of volume. World pro duction of pig meats is likely to cost more during the next 12 months than during the previous 12 months but all competitors in the British market will no doubt make every ef fort to maintain their present vol ume of commitments. “With the total imports into tihe United Kingdom definitely restrict ed, competition for her bacon re quirements is more intense today than at any time prior to the regula tion of Import supplies. Ally losses from the 1937 export volume would be extremely difficult to recover. “A reassuring feature of the sit uation here is that we have more permanent producers of hogs in Canada today, more intelligent feed ing practices, a higher appreciation of good market typos and weights, and a better knowledge of the mar ket situation than at any time in the history of the industry, “No suggestions is made that farmers should undertake the pur chase of feeder pigs unless their in dividual circumstances indicate that it would bo a good investment.” Ontario Elections— 1937 NOTICE TOvrvT1^5<^V U 1 LifCO rpHE VOTERS’ LISTS for the Provincial Elections to be held on October 6th have now been posted in your electoral district.
