There ha.s been a wonderful bloom on all kinds of fruit trees and the fruit is now well formed.

Germany lost more in tonnage than Great Britain and is out of the war as a naval force, while the balance of her rtet't is still botlUd up. County council will m«et on Juno '.!'. We understand the county body will be asked to place 3 mills an the dollar taxes this year for war purposes, instead of 1 mill as it was last year. The council also may be asked to liiiuid.ite a considerable amount of indebtedness incurred by the I47th battalion for recruiting purposes. Many of the men who went out recruit- ing have bills for expenses th^t have not yet been paid. Lively and printing bills are unsettled, and altogether the the battalion must be in the hole to a considerable extent. Considerable changes have been made in the C.P.R.running orders on this line- The noon train is not due until lii.Ol in- stead of 11.36, and the morning train south is 20 minutes later, arrivin£> now at 7.53. The evening train south will run to North Toronto instead of I'nion Station. The night train up will also •tart from North Toronto. The morning trains up and down still stirt and arrive at the I'nion. Travellers may thus take their choice of trains according to where their destination is in the city. The new order will also relieve the congestion of summer travel at the I'nion Station and will no doubt be welcomed by travellers. The trains from North Torontj can abo Btill be taken at West Toronto. Motor Boat Failed Mr. E. W. D*ri-agh, 1735 Second ave. east had i very exciting experience while/ out in a motor boat tiahing in the Georg- ian Bay last Saturday. With two fisher- men, Mesurs. Wm. McComb and W. Ohesney, he borrowed a motor boat from the lighthouse keeper at Cabot's Head, having put his own liahing boat out of commission by the breaking of the crank shaft. The men left Cabot's Head early Saturday morning and set out fm a tish. While returning, after they had finished fishing for the day, and while still about nine miles distant from the lighthsuse, the batteries of the eneine played out. Next, the cirburetor back tired, and they h>id some ditticulty with the tire resulting althouirli no damage resulted. 'Cftayhad nothing to do but drop anchor in 70 fathoms of water, and a wait results. After they had remained there~!i7 hours they weie p. eked up by the fishing tug Mystery and towed to Caboi's Head. ' Fortunately for them, although they bad an expeiieuce to be Ion.; remembered, the water was calm which was much in their favor.â€" <). S.

The writer does not er.close his name, but in order that no injustice may be done we crack the newspaper rule and print the itein,^whiib is as follows : Durham, Ont. June 4. IDIO Ed. of Advance, Dear Sir :â€" In your write up about the auto accident Ln last week's paper, a mistake was made which should be corrfctad. You spoke of the two cars passing through your town but did not say that they were not together. Then ajain you spoke of the car being pulled out of the ditch by horses. The car was in the di'ch and it was only after some time when the second car happened to come along that they pulled them out. That is how they happened to bj behind them at the Glen and again did what they could to aid them. The occupants of the cars were two distinct parties and the bays ia the latter one, including the two soldiers, were certainly not under tbeinfiuence of liquar. l{ein<<, '»ne of the pitty myself I feel the writ4 up to be an injnstice to our crowd.â€" An Ootiupant of the Second Car. :5 Centre Grey W.

Walkerton Seein a rig that looked an awful I',t like a washing machine some soldier.'^, who were assisting in cooking operations for the snuad at the Methodist church, put all dish to.vels in the machine and turning the crank for a considerable time were horrified to find the linen in rags. Summoning Major Mofi'at, who had bought the rig for the Battalion, they informed him that it was a joke as a washer and were condemning it in the strongest of terms, when the Majtr wised them up>to the fact that it was a potato peeler they had been using, and not ?a washing machine. As the tuwe's were not only torn to shreds, but the machine was also badly twisted arsd clogged up with torn linen, the dishwater artists had soma contract ahead of them unravelling the mix-u;) and getting the ransculof the all'.iir. Mr. George Flach, a well-known fann- er of the South Line, Brant, was found on Wednesday evening about 8 o'clock lying in .John McNeills bush, back of his own fanu, with his throat slashed from ear to ear. The body was cold and life had apparently been extinct for some time. He was seen gi ii!g in the direc- tion ot the bush the day before, anl as he remained out all night, a'ld was not afterwards seen alive, the neighbors after sapper Wednesday began a search for him. Near the entrance I'f the bu->h b!ood-stains were diicovered, and follow- ing 111'' red trail they came upon the body about 50 yards further on. A sharp pocket knife, with an open bh^od- staii'.oJ blade, and with which the deid was proVably committed, was found by Chief Ferguson of Walkerton near the body. It is thought to be a ca.so of sui- cide, but an iiKiucst is being held. The decea.'<ed is about 45 years of afo and leaves a wife and three children.â€" Bruce Herald and Times.

L'nfortuu- Tho day of the sickle is past, ai loist for cutting corn on farirg where any material quautisy \a grown. With the increased acreage planted each year to corn, a Corn Binder was a necessity. It was invented, tried out. eApeiimented with and changed, till now it is as perfect a piece of fjg-m machinery as the gram binderâ€" and just as necessary. With it you cut your crop at the piopertime: you handlg it in less time tJian five or sis men could do with the sickle: and you get it into your silo williout loss of any of its feeding valueâ€" and remember that's what counts with the condition of your cattle iu the Spring. Frost & Wood Corn Binder has proven its ability to dive its owner better satisfac tion than they can iet with any other.
