The gate receipts will tot 'well over $225, The exhibits on the whole were up to the standard of former years, and in some lines surpassed. The show- ing of roots and vegetables was es- pecially good, and the horse classes were also well filled. The poultry ex hibit was larger than usual and ex ceeded that of the Listowel Fair last week. School Section No. 8, Elma, and Donegal school had fine exhibits of collections of vegetables, flowers, seeds and fruit. These exhibits were the centre of much attraction and many favorable comments were pas- sed. Upstairs nearly the whole space was devoted to ladies' fancy work. There was also a showing of art and school scholars exhibition of writing and drawing, but this latter was not large. The Seaforth Highland band furnished the music for the day, and. were exceptionally generous with their selections, and their music' was greatly appreciated. A large number of those who at- tend fall fairs are more interested in the races than any other events. The. results of these are as follows: Green race—lst.

The concert given in the Music Hall in the evening by Jimmie Reid, Concert Party, Toronto, drew a full house, almost every seat being taken. The proceeds amounted to almost approximately $250. The program was an excellent one and . enjoyed by all, The numbers given by Mr. Reid, as comedian vocalist were ex- ceptionally good, as well as those by Miss Thelma Oswin and Miss Jessie Butt. John Allen, accordion player, delighted the audience with his many selections, and the accompanist was Mrs. Westlake. A. A. Gray, of Tor- onto, brother of W. A. Gray, Presi- dent of the Society, and who had much to do in bringing the concert to Atwood, was pleased with the at- tendance and the many encores re- ceived by the party. He also gave a few remarks. Following Is the list of prize-win- ners:— Heavy rize-win-ners:— AID MARKETING OF APPLE CROP Ontario Government Announces Plans of Assistance—Seek Export Mar- kets—Will Purchase 25,000 Barrels to Ship Overseas • as Government assistance in the mar - ns keting of this year's apple Drop in On- e, tario was announced last Thursday f at the Parliament Buildings, Toronto, al by Hon. John S. Martin, Minister of Agriculture. The assistance is to be alone, two lines, namely, an, intensive publicity campaign 'urging people to use home-grown fruit and aid in seem ing export markets. Under the latter heading the Government will take the tangible form of purchase from the growers of 25,000 barrels of repre- sentative apples, to be shipped over- seas with •' ievr en favorably impres- sing the r -stet"-ere with the favor- able qua'- -e n 'rte Ontario fruit. This 1- ' r on by the Govern - meet wt." ' n flute the first time in which tb -'`•nvincial Government has soaided the marketing of a fruit crop, got to the extent of assisting to finance 'r, The fruit purchased by the Gow ' tent will be subject to Governer• • ' inspection and will be branded wah the stamp of Govern- ment approval. The grower will be paid themarketprice, so that he can lose nothing, and should the Govern- ment make a profit on its handling of the fruit, the surplus will also be paid to the growers after deducing trans- portation and selling- costs. The 25,- 000 barrels represents 150 car loads, so that the consignment is expected to be large enough to impress the market and extend the reputation of Ontario fruit in Great Britain, Ontario this year ia' harvesting the best and cleanest . apple crop in its history. This last is attributed large- ly to educational work which the de- partment of agriculture has been carrying on among the growers, im- pressing upon them the value of spraying in cultivation of the fruit.

Undertheredistribution Act, officially called the Representa- tion Act, 1924, there are 243 mem- bers, ten more than in the last Parli- ament. arliament, The Act by taking away two members from Nova Scotia (14 members now instead of 16) and rais- ing the representation of Manitoba from 15 to 17, of. Saskatchewan from 16 . to 21, of Alberta from 12 to 16, and of British Columbia from 13 to 14, leaves Ontario, Quebec, Prince Edward Island; New Brunswick and the Yukon, unaffected. In the re -allotment of seats among the provinces and the total increase of ton members, considerable changes in the boundaries of the constituen- cies have been effected. The actual life of Canada's Four- teenth Parliament, which was dissolv- ed on September 5, was three years, eight months and thirty days. The shortest parliament in point of time was the second after Confederation which sat for one year, and 'four months. The twelfth parliament es- tabIished the record for longevity by carrying on its work for six years. The length of service of each par- liament since -Confederation follows; 1st Parliament -4 years, 9 months and 15 days. 2nd Parliament -1 year, 4 months. 3rd Parliament ---4 years, 5 months, 25 days. 4th Parliament -3 years, 5 months, 28 days. 5th Parliament -4 years, 5 months 10 days. 0th Parliament -3 years, 9 months 27 days, - 7th Parliament -5 years. 8th Parliament --4 years, 2 months, 26 days. 9th Parliament ---3 years, 9 months, 26 days, 10th Parliament — 3 years, 9 months, 4 days. 11th Parliament — 2 years, 7 months, 7 clays. 14th Parliament — 3 years, ` 8 months, 30 days.

The total assesament for 1926 is $891,673,797, which is $16,259,443 higher than for 1925.. - A new high-water mark for the 1925 Beason of navigation in regard to number of passengers landed at Que- bec over a week -end, was established during the week -end of September 6th when six boats docked with near- ly 5,000 passengers. The three Cana- lian Pacific steamers, the Montroyal, Marloch and Melita, brought 2,624 of the total passengers landed., Between four and five hundred travelling passenger agents, repro - smiting railway' throughout the United States and Mexico, united with representatives of the Cana- dian railways and steamship com- panies in Montreal during the week ending September 19th, for the fif- tieth annual convention of the American Association of Travelling Passenger Agents. In succession to Captain James Gillies, who was recently appointed general manager Canadian Pacific steamships in London, Captain R. G. Latta has been appointed to the command of the Empress of Scot- land, flagship of the Canadian Pe- cific fleet. Captain Latta was pre- viously on the bridge of the "Mont - royal" and other vessels of the same line. Arrangements are being made for the holding of the western annual meeting in Winnipeg from Novem- , ber 3rd to 5th of the Canadian In- stitute of Mining and Metallurgy. The meetings will be held in the Royal Alexander Hotel. Delegates from all points in the West, as well as from Eastern Canada, are ex- pected to attend. A memorial known as "The Altar of Peace" has recently been un- veiled in Stanley Park, Vancouver, to symbolize the spirit of inter- national good -will existing between the United States and Canada. The memorial was raised by joint sub- scription of United States and Cana- dian Kiwanis Clubs, and stands on the spot where the late President Harding delivered the last speech of his life while visiting Canada, in July,' 1923. One of the largest shipments of live foxes for export ever to leave Prince. Edward island, left recently for New York for transshipment to Norway. The shipment comprised 200 foxes in all, with a gross value of $40,000. Several small shipments of animals were consigned to Nor- way last year and this large order has followed the success which the Norwegian breeders have had with those animals previously sent from this country. As illustrating the volume of grain delivered by the Port of Montreal compared with that of. Vancouver, figures given by the Pacific coast port for the crop year ending .July 81 last, show Montreal deliveries were six and three-quarters times those from the British Columbia port. Vancouver shipped 25,133,218 bushels of grain for the crop year ene.ng July 31, while Montreal, dur- ing this period, disposed of 169,929, 018 bushels. le The "Daddy of them aW' says— Waterman's Ink adds to the efficiency of Water - man's Fountain Pens and Waterrnan's Pen adds to the efficiency of Waterman's Ink.

(Coatrlbuted-by Rntarle Dpnartmeut 05 Agriculture, Torpgto,l The narcissus verleties , may be patted •for winter bloom as soon as. the bulbs are obtained In September or early October. If it is desired that the bulbs be grown 1n the home win- dow, It is advisable to use either a six or eight inch hewer pot, setting from five to ten bulbs, accordiug to the,sise of the stock. Good Deep Boxes for Cut Flowers. If it Is desired to grow the bulb bloom in quantity and use the cut Sowers In vases, then planethe bulbs in boxes of any shape and not less than three inches in depth. A box twenty-four Inches by twelve ]nches by three inches is very bandy. The soil should be a deb garden' loam to which add one-third of the bulk of leaf mould and sufficient sand to keep the soil from clinging. Suitable drainage provided by meant of coarse cinders or broken pottery should drat be placed in the bottom or the pots or boxes and then the prepared soil In quantity sufficient to reach within one -halt inch from the top of the box or pot after flrmin'g. The bulbs should be pressed into the soli and covered firmly, just leaving the tip showing. Bury the Boxes In the Cellar. When all the boxes orpots are prepared such should be buried if possible In cold frame or In the base- ment, watered well, and then covered with five inches of sand or screened cinders. This covering will insure the necessary cool condition and pre- vent drying out. Such treatment will develop a good vigorous root system, a condition which must precede the bloom. Eight weeks beneath the sand is usually sufficient. A pot may be examined then and if found to be full of roots it can be moved to the light and heat.

At all times during summer and early autumn care should be taken to see that colonies do not starve, So long as they have enough for daily food winter feeding should be de- layed until the first half of October. Each hive should then be given all the syrup it will take. This may be anywhere from 10 pounds to 40 or 50 pounds, depending on the strength of the colony and the amount of stores it already has. The syrup Is made of two parts best granulated sugar to one of water. Boil the water, then add the sugar and stir till thoroughly dissolved, The only points to be observed are to avoid scorching the sugar and to see that nofgranules are left in the syrup to start crystallization after it bas been stored in the combs. When feeding time comes' in the early part of October, the packing is removed from over the feeder -boards and a number of filled pails or jars are inverted over the holes. 3f the days are warm this is done towards evening, to prevent robbing, and if the nights are cool packing is put around the feeders to hold the brood- 'chamber heat and belp the bees take down the feed, As fast as feeders are emptied they should be refilled, until the bees signify that they have enough by ceasing all work on the feeders. The latter are then remov- ed, the burlap, pafper and packing are replaced, add the roof is adjusted for the winter. The feeding may take a week or more in cool weather, but should be gotten through with as rapidly as possible atter it is once started, • To Spray or to Dust Potatoes? The high efficiency of liquid 1:or- deans mixture for the control of In- sect and fungus -.enemies of potato foliage has been 'demonstrated In tests so often as to snake its use gen- eral with potato -growers, Dusting has been used considerably, but care- fully conducted tests over a period of four years show that the practice is not so emhfent as the liquid form of application, Whore water is dif11- cult to obtain, and in small fields where it Is necessary to use hand apparatus, dusting is advisable. For areas larger than one acre and with water 01151 a power sprayer available, then spray Iodine In the nation.

Moss, president Kiwanis International on September 16th in the presence of a large gathering of both United States and Canadian government officials and 'members of Kievania, The memorial was designed by Charles Marega, a well known Italian sculptor of, Vancouver. When the echeme was first decided upon,it.was the intention of the American Kiwanis clubs to raise the funds on their side of the border and to present the memorial to Canada. Canadian Kiwanis, however, insisted upon contributing towards the fund and thememorial was thus erected by the 'joint efforts of the United States and Canadian clubs, At the unveiling ceremony, the Dominion Govern- ment was represented by Hon. Dr. J. II. King and. Dr. G..T. Harding, brother of the late president. United States Kiwahis was represented by International President John II. Moss, and International Past Presi- dents Victor S. Johnson and Edmund F. Areas. The Canadian Pacific Railway was represented by Frank W. Pears; General Superintendent at Vancouver. Several of the Uuaed States delegates stayed over at Banff and Lake Lomee and other points in the Canadian Pacific Itoeit]es r'efore proeeeding to Vaecouver. The. memorial itself is through ,ut a m le in -Canada product, being design d try (,]au ',ons seal rude of Canadian materials and Fly Canadian'labor. The s.e of ted m,.inari::l is the spot where the late Preeldeht Harding made his last speech, when just. before he died in 1923 he visited Canada. Warren G_ Harding, late president of the U, S. A, was a chartered, member of the Kiwanis Club at Marion; Ohio, bis home town. An extract from the speech made by the Chief Executive` of the United States on that occasion, written in bronze, for the memorial, and the possible text• of*many a mur- mured pray er of hope of the cosmopolitan tourist who- i reads it as he passes through the park, is as follows: "What an object lesson of peace is shown today br our two countries to all, the, world. No grim -faced forts-., ftcations mark our frontiers, no huge battleships patrol our dividing waters, no stealthy spies lurk our tranquil border hamlets. Only a scrap of paper, recording hardly more than a simple understanding safeguards liven and properties on the Great Lakes, and only humble mile-• posts mark the inviolable boundary -line for thousand's of miles through farm and forest. "Our protection is in our fraternity, our armor is our faith,, and the tie that binds, more firm' each a is ever-increasing acquaintance and comradeship through interchange of citizens; and the compact is not perishable parchment, but of fair and honorable dealing, which, God grant, shall continue for all time.". The memorial, which. is known as "The Altar of Peace," has been referred to as the only material symbol of fortification, outside of mileposts,' to outline the in- visible demarkation of the thousands of miles of border lino secparating the two countries from the Atlantic to the 0 Like Nothing on Earth.
