Seaforth Store and House Burned Fire, believed caused by someone flicking a cigarette butt or a lighted match into the basement on some coal-oil, completely destroyed a store and home at Seaforth. The store own­ ed and operated by Mrs. A. Pinkney, was first to take fire and the flames soon spread through the double wall between it and the house. The house, occupied bp three families, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Howes, Mr. and Mrs. B. Whyard, and Mrs. PJnkney, owner of the store, was burned completely but most of the furniture was removed be­ fore the fire got beyond control. ■ I ■ Times Do Change m j How times do change—not so many IH years ago when you said goodbye to ® 1 anyone leaving on a trip across the g I Atlantic you would not likely see them ■ again for weeks, but modern methods .$1.69 S of transportation have changed all 2 j this.

One day last week, however, the woman, who is now an elderly lady, felt a tingling sensation in the middle finger of her left hand. She looked at the finger and saw something small and sharp protruding fro rnthe skin. Applying a pair of tweezers she pulled it out.

INDESTRUCTIBLE LONDON Plans Now Completed for Protecting World’s Greatest Port London is now an indestructible port, thank's to the scheme of control and protection evolved by the Port of London Authority, it is claimed by Mr. W. L. Wrightson, Chairman of the Authority’s River Committee. “We are prepared,” he says, “to carry on whatever may happen. The Authority have located the sum of £250,000 for air raid protection to men working the docks system. All vital points have been protected and over 3% miles of trenches are avail­ able for refuge from blast and. splint­ ers. Over 30,000 workers are being safeguarded in the P.L.A.’s own dock area, while owners of wharves and warehouses for 30 or 40 miles on each bank of the Thames have arranges for similar protection for their Own staffs. Moorings have been placed for about 78 ships in the lower reaches of the Thames. The small craft or­ ganizations, with some 10,000 barges and tugs capable of handling 1,000,000 tons of cargo, have been organized in­ to a pool, and should any one dock system be put out of action, all these resources would be at the service of the port. Arrangements have also been made for evacuating essential foodstuffs and dangerous goods. SHUR-GAIN I6Z Growing Mash A complete balanced growing mash that will maintain even steady growth.

The ease and simplicity of harvest­ ing grain with a “Clipper” combine was demonstrated to hundreds of far­ mers and many other interested peo­ ple on the Dufferin Street Farm of Mr, T. A, Russell, President of the Massey-Harris Company recently, Close to eight hundred came to get first-hand information on the working of this machine and all were most favorably impressed with the way it wheat running well over thirty-nine bushels to the acre. To those familiar with the estab­ lished routine of harvesting grain crops ‘— cutting, stocking, pitching and hauling and finally harvesting — the all in one action of the combine with only two men required to do the work seemed the height of perfection. Reducing the number of operations to the bare minimum of course natural­ ly brings about a verp substantial sav­ ing in the costs. There is no twine to buy; there is no expense for labor in stooking; there is no thresher’s bill to pay; and nothing extra is added to the housekeeping expense in provid­ ing meals for large threshing crews. Another feature about combine hat­ thatvesting that appeals to many is the exchange of work with neighbors which often comes at most inoppor­ tune times is not required. Insofar as the economical side of the method is concerned it is estimat­ ed that the actual out-of-pocket ex­ pense with the combine method is about equal to or less than the cost of binder twine with the regular way of harvesting, It means Something worth while to a farmer to be able to save up to $1.50 per acre with the combine, and there is a saving of grain and seed too that means quite a lot, particularly when harvesting seed hay crops, And the new type of combine as de­ monstrated in the ‘’Clipper*’ and the Round Trip Bargain Fares From WINGHAM AUG. 25 ■ 26 — To — OTTAWA MONTREAL QUEBEC $9.20 $10.55 $14.55 STE.
