HIBBERT Lightning Pranks -During the severe !electrical storm on Friday last light- ning struck the home of 'sir, Charles Tuftfin, Jr., and did some, damage.

A little son, who was sleep - rings; er bed was somewhat shocked from the effects of the bolt, but re- covered after a few hours. Enos D,ockW,g of the 4th Con., was found drowned in the cistern at his home by his wife on, Monday morning.

FIRES NEAR KIRKTON Kirkton, Sept. 20 -The fire marshal's department will be asked to investigate a series of barn fires which have roc- curred here recentl'y,.'tw;o of the most serious, taking place between 12 and 1 o'clock. The barns destroyed were those of David Rogers estate; and Nel- son ,Slecter, and 'they are both within a quarter mile of one another. They were in flames at the same time -and in. neither case could any cause other than incendiarism could be liven. The Rogers barn„ 36 by 80, filled with .gratin, to the roof, was completely destroyed, together with machinery and 200 chickens. The loss, is $4000, partly protected by a policy in. the Blaansh- ard company. The Slecter barns, rented from Miss Maggie Cooper, went down with craps, poultry and hags The loss is probably $2,500 in this case Farmers in the neighborhood are de- manding an investigation. A. HUMAN DOCUMENT. Wills Have Been Written In Such Strange Places as Tree -Stumps. • One of the most curious wills on record was recently filed at Somerset House, London, Eng. It Is in the form of a royal. naval identification disc, about the size of half-a-crown,. and bears on one side the name and description of the man to whom it was issued. On the other, by the aid 'of a microscope, there can be plainly read a will, leaving all the owner's property to his wife. The disc was recovered from the sea, and cleaning revealed its roman- tic secret, for it proved to be the "last will and testament" of Wil- liam Skinner, R.N., plumber aboard H. M. S. Indefatigable, who was lost with that ship in the Battle of Jut- land on May 31st, 1916. His pro- perty amounted to £.258. • A man who was supposed to have committed suicide at Monte Carlo by shooting himself with a revolver had, before doing the fatal deet}, written a will on his shirt front. As it had no witnesses it was probably illegal, but the intention was plain, at any rate, as was that of the man found in an empty house who had written a will on the bare plaster of the wall. Tolstoi's last will was written in 1910 on the stump of a tree a few miles from his home at the time; it left all his literary property to his daughter, Alexandra, and among other things said: "Bury me where I die; if in town then in the cheapest cemetery, in the cheapest coffin, like a pauper. No flowers, no wreaths, no speeches." A man who feared very, much the interference of certain 'eople with his own free will in the disposal or his property was supposed to have died intestate, to the great joy of certain relatives, They were• cha- grined to find, however, that he,,;had had a will tattooed on his back and properly attested. There are queer Ways of making even an ordinary lawyer's will. A testatrix, saffertng from at' paralytic stroke, had a pack of cards dealt to her by her solicitor,' bearing the names of her relatives, while' on • an- other pack were the details of her various properties. The solicitor '.'dealt" her a card with the name of a person, and she played to it a card with an item of her estate upon it. The solicitor gathered the "trick" and noted it down in the will. ma Hera; Zinnia, Marjorie Westcott C .iarlie Stewart, Willie Stewart; Car- eapsis, Thos.

Europe. The largest consignment of silk from the Orient for many months, consisting of 5,500 bales, valued at $9,000,000, formed part of the cargo of the "Empress of Russia" recently. A shipment of silk from China, consisting of ten carloads, valued at two million dollars, went forward from Vancouver to New York under special guard over the Cana- dian Pacific lines recently. The first of a series of six new seaplanes being constructed for the Canadian Government has just been delivered. The new planes are to be used in forest patrol for the pre- vention of destruction by fire. Following the disastrous earth- quakes and fires which devastated large areas in Japan, the Canadian Pacific liners "Empress of remade" and "Empress of Australia" were thrown open to 'the accommodation of thousands of refugees, "De the officers and men of the vessels did splendid work in organizing and assisting rescue parties. The rapid increase in the export butter trade of Saskatchevran during the past year or two, has been the outstanding feature of the Provin- cial dairy industry. Recently the Saskatchewan Co-operative Cream- eries made a shipment of 28,000 lbs. of butter to China. For almost two decades the major portion of the world's supply of cobalt has been derived from the silver -cobalt -nickel arsenides of the Cobalt district, according to figures compiled by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. The cobalt production of Canada in 1922 was 569,960 pounds, which at $3.25 a pound, \would be worth $1,852,370. Canada's trade within the Empire is increasing. For the twelve months ended July, Canada exported to other parts of the Empire goods amounting to $453,437,899. This is in comparison with .$354,992,074, the figure for the corresponding twelve months previous. Imports from Brit- ish Empire countries during the two twelve months' periods were; Ended July, 1923, $195,811,190; ended July, 1922, $153,185,581. A wheat crop of 382,514,000 bush- els is forecasted in a report issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statis- tics. The report is based upon the condition of crops at the end of July, and indicates that the Prairie Prov- inces will produce 357,295,000 bush- els of wheat if weather conditions continue favorable. Manitoba, it is expected, will have a total wheat yield of 44,468,000 bushels; Sas- katchewan 211,051,000; and Alberta 101,7'76,000 bushels. Alberts is the only province to show an increased yield as compared with' 1922. A party of five journalists, rep- resenting the leading newspapers of Switzerland, who recently arrived at Quebec, are the guests in Canada of E. W. Beatty, President of the Canadian Pacific Railwai, They will tour the Dominion in the inter- ests of Swiss colonization. Stops will be made at different points where Swiss people are farming, and opportunity will be given to mem- bers of the party to converse with . them and get first hand knowledge es to the desirability of Canada as a place for Swiss colonists, Ina letter on "Canada. and Land Settleme9t," published by the Morn- ing Post,. Sir C, o. McLaren Brown, European manager of the Canadian Pacific Railway, says that the agri- cultural salvation of Western Can- ada lies ' in mixed farming, which calls for smaller and more numerous agricultural holdings than wheat growing does, and results in closer settlement and better communica- tion. The bigger and more densely settled the rural population, the more social amenities there are and greater adyantages generally, he ,says. _ _ ee- .
