STILL THEY COME. .Messrs. Percy Cole and D. K. Prior have each brought -into this office fine specimens of 'potatoes, the former going a little over 1'i1 pounds and the latter just under the two pound\mark. Both tubers were of fine formation, the latter being the best all-rounder we've seen tnts season, and both Wren say they were little larger than many others taken up - Mrs. W. East also showed ns a very large potato from her garden which weighed a little under three pounds . It was not so good a speci- men, however, being really a whole hill of potatoes growing together. This is'certainly a great potato year. But while others are boasting about potatoes Mr. C. F. Libby is specializing in tomatoes. Last week he brought into the office a beauti- fully formed tomato which tipped the .scale at one pound and ten ounces. As toniatoes are compartively light this meant a great big timato. It was a beauty. • AMONG THE CHURCHES. 011 Tuesday the Deanery .of Huron inet in St. Paul's church, Winghanl.

Owing to the alarming increase ' of fire -waste in Canada, where the percentage runs higher than hi al- most any country in the world, it has been deemed. necessary to • do something to check it.

The fol- lowing appears in the proclamation appointing the "Fire Prevention Day."— "It is shown hy, reliable statistics that at least seventy-five per cent of the fires which occltr originate Dither directly or indirectly through inexcusable ignorance and neglect t and aro therefore preventable and that the exercise of reasonable pre- donee end proper carefulness en the part of responsible individuate would redace losses by fire in Canada to the comparatively insignificant propor- tions of losses in other countries." in heavyloser Canada as been a les by fire in thepast.
