A heavy windstorm broke over this
district on Sunday evening and con-
siderable damage was done. Many
limbs of trees were blown down. It
was followed by a heavy downpour
of rain, which although badly needed
did some damage to fruit trees and
standing grain.
The hay crop which has now been
practically all harvested, is one of the
best in years. The local average will
be about 4 ton to the acre. Wheat,
barley and rye are fit to cut and some
oats, sown early are already turning.
In spite of the scarcity of the farm
help the farmers are doubling tap and
doing fairly well with their crops.
.Apples seem to be a fair crop in this
district, but examination of the most
of the fruit reveals a white maggot in
the centre, The same deceptive ap-
pearances prevail for cherries too. As
a result many baskets of cherries had
to be imported for local demand,

name, age and date of decease •of each
brother was announced by FSr
o A.
McGuire a poetic or prose selection
suitable to the occasion was read by
Bro. Gilroy,
The round having been made a fea-
ture, the first of the occasion, was
added, viz., the remembering of Bro:
Ross McKinnon, who gave up his life
in behalf of the sustaining of the Em-
pire's ideals in France. As the breth-
ren surrounded the grave of the late
Hugh McKinnon, Ross' father, kindly
reference was made to the brother
who sleeps, with hundreds of com-
rades, overseas. A boquet of beautiful
roses was deposited on the grave and
as the brethren marched by each
placed a Maple Leaf upon the tomb
bespeaking the Oauadian remem-
brance of the heroic one who was a
member of Brussels Lodge and who

An address, full of good things, was
then delivered by Bro. J, T. Wood
who urged living up to the ideals of
the Order, the certainty of death, the
need of sympathy and brotherhood

And by faith we may eee it afar,

To prepare us a dwelling plaoe there"

panimeut to the address and the Chap-
lain invoked the Divine blessing on
