Added to this a few persist in double parking, while this is Only for a few minutes, still during that time traffic is tied up as rars cannot pass. Some regulations should be made to remedy this situa tion before a serious accident occurs. Then during the week, we find the odd transport truck backed up to the curb to Unload its merchandise, thereby Mocking over half the road. This we believe, should not be allowed at all, Behind practically every store in town there is a good lane, and most mer chants would prefer their goods tak en in by the rear door rather than by the front, especially if a large mer.t was being received. ♦ * * ♦ FREIGHT RATES UNFAIR TO ONTARIO WHEAT During the past: few years export markets have been lost to Ontario wheat and Ontario wheat flour. One of the obstacles In regaining these Ibst markets is the high export freight rate charged by the Canadian Rail roads on Ontario wheat flour. On tario exporters must pay 21c per 100 pounds for the same transportation service that Western Canada and Un ited States shippers get at 13c. This is unfair to the Ontario wheat farmer. Wheal grown in Michigan can cross the lake and be shipped from Goder ich to Montreal for 13c, while the Huron farmer must pay 2lc to have his wheat shipped on possibly the same freight. Last year several meetings were held in this district and protests for warded to the Board of Transport Commissioners asking that an adjust ment be made. But their protests were disregarded- With another Ontario wheat crop being harvested the Federal Govern ment should act at once if the Trans port C ornmissiemers can’t and the Railways won’t. This discrimination in freight rate against Ontario wheat producers should be removed immed iately. The rights and interests of the Ontario farmers demand action. * * * THE DROUGHT IS OVER Once more merchants in Saskatch ewan are filling- their shelves with gcods. rids summer they are selling more groceries, more repairs for cars and farm machinery, more hardware and overalls. In the fall they expect to turn over a lot of semi-luxury and capital goods like radios, automobiles, new tractors, houses and furniture, The long tragic years of drought are over and, so far as production, is con cerned, the West is back to normal. A few years ago pessimists croaked that the soil of the southern and cen tral prairies was worn out, that the days of even normal wheat crops were over? This summer these same prair ies are a solid mass of heavy green. They promise a bumper yield of well over 400 million bushels, i Tt was the lack of wheat rather than the low price which prolonged the great depression in the three prairie provinces. If a farmer has no crop at all, then the price of what he might have had is of only academic interest. This year there should be no lack of volume for the country- at large and. a reasonable return has b’een guaranteed to the grower. Along with the latter, the railways, elevators, storekeepers and the loan companies stand to benefit directly, and through them all Canadian business.—Financ ial Post. NEWS of the DISTRICT ship- Witness Pavement Blow-Up Noticing that a pavement blow-up was imminent on the south side of the forty hills on No. 9 Highway, Carrick, | overseer Henry Hossfeld and his men I assembled to see It occur.

ADAMS Wingham Ontario Fires Attributed to Weed Destroyer Four explosions and fires through out EWfrid Township .within a 24-hour period were attributed by township officials and firemen to a chemical' weed destroyer, mixed for spreading on township roads in a weed control campaign. One barn was destroyed by fire in Melbourne Village, a sec ond, situated in the township proper,, was noticed in flames and the out break quelled before it spread beyond control'. hi the other two instances- the chemical burst into flames after it had been removed from buildings, and placed in open fields. the highway. As he met Earley’s .car, one of the rear dual wheels came off the truck, bounced across the road and crashed into the rear left wheel of Farley’s car, which catapulted into the air and lit on its top in the centre of the roadway. Mr. Farley was not injured, nor were the children with him, though the car was wrecked al most beyond repair. Monkton Youth Drowns at Grand Bend Sixt een-year-old Gerald Longeway, of Monkton, was drowned late Sun day afternoon in the Aux Sables Riv er at Grand Bend, his cries for help apparently lost in the roar of passing motorboats.

With other help he was re moved to the farmhouse, and Dr, Gil lies, of Teeswater, called in attend ance, v sister, Evelyn and of Monkton, and Bannon,- to spend Er- his the Car Goes Over the Bank Earl Westbrook paid a big price for a couple of ice cream cones last Sun day. About 3 o’clock in the afternoon Earl drove up to the refreshment booth opposite the anchor on the lake bank,, parked his car a short distance from the bank, left h running and pro ceeded to walk over to the booth to order his cones. The booth-keeper noticed the automobile was beginning to move and shouted a warning to Earl, who turned quickly and jumped into his car to apply the emergency brake. Too late! The machine had ^gained too much momentum, and see ing that he could not stop it, Earl jumped out and the machine swept over the edge of the bank, Those above could only hear a crash, bang, slam as the car hurtled down the hill and then there was silence.—Goderich Signal-Star. Paints Own House; Well Over Eighty Although closer to ninety years old than he is to eighty, Mr. George But ton proves to the world that he is still able to do his share of work1. Last week Mr. Button touched up his house in preparation for the Old Boys’. He didn’t just stand on the ground and paint the lower sections. No sir—he •scrambled.around on a ladder and did it all. Was it last year, or the year before that we saw Mr. Button shing ling his own home?—Teeswater News. Big Wheel from Truck Overturns Passing Auto S. L.
