Through indifference, or oversight, or somethinK worse, Flesherton is losing a golden opportunity by keep- ing Memorial Park closed -to the motoring public. We have heard of several motoring parties who recent- ly desired to make use of the park and found it closed to them. We understood that the park was to be thrown open to the motoring public as a resting place, and so an- nounced last spring, but, from what has since transpired, we were eviden- tly wide of the mark, us nothing has been done to attract or accommodate travellers in this little "gods acre." Over in the United States nearly every town and village has its park- ins ground where free accommoda- tion is tfi v en to motorists, including even free baths, hot water, cooking conveniences, etc., and these are tak- en advantage of by vast unmbers of travellers. Salaried caretakers look after many of these places, paid by the towns they serve. It is claimed by every such town that they are more than reimbursed by the amou:it of money put into circulation by mot- orists. In our park are tables, kitchenette, and plenty of room to park cars and pitch tents, and this is a proper use for it in the summer time. The park should be thrown open and the Ont- ario Motor League advised that ac- commodation can be had at the park, day or night or both. AT THKHALLCAMKS During the past few ball games played here, and elsewhere too, in the Centre Grey League, and other games we have noticed creepng into the "rooting" of thi 1 fans some express- ions of personalities hurled at play- ers which arc not called for in thc slightest degree. There is nothing like real pood "rooting" at a bal game, but when people deliberately use these nusty words against the players who arc doing their best wt think it is about time to draw atten- tion to the fact. Now, fans, let's have pood, clean rooting at the rem- ainder of our games, as the kind ol talk we have referred to above does more to injure the game than any- thing we know of. Electric Railway Newt ^ One of the new promoters of the Huron Ontario Electric Railway was KILLED ON PROV.

Crut- chely, took flre from the chimney, and the two women, Mrs. Ireland and her daughter, endeavored to fight the flames. It was while attempting to save some of their household effects that Mrs. Ireland received her fatal burns. She had gone into the house and was overcome by the flames and badly burned about the head and KUITUKIAL NOTES The Muskoka Fru Hospital for Cosumptivc.s hus been enlarged by the addition of a large annex. \Ve presume the free hospital will now be quite as tree as ever with its writs. * * The Uelormc trial resulted in ten men of tht jury favoring a verdict of "guilty" and two determinedly hang- ing out for an acquittal. There will therefore likely be a new trial We would suggest that a change of venu be made from Quebec to Ont- ario. No doubt a jury could be easily found hero who would agree on a verdict. * The bigr hold-up in Toronto Will result in added precautions being taken for a time, such as a cordon of policemen lining the route taken by mesHonbers and in various other ways. Our suggestion is that a time bomb be located in every money bag with strinp attached to the firng pin so thut it might be pulled when Mr. Higliwayman grabs the bag. In that way he would not carry it far and the country would be saved the expense of a trial. The money might be de- stroyed, but one or two executions in this nuiiiner wuuld act as a detorrant for the future. FLSHKRTON WILL BE WATCHED An effort beinpr put forth by the Aluskoka hospital for consumptives to collect from the village of Flesher- ton eluu-Kils against n patient whose place of residence Flesherton dispu- tes, is worth careful watching by all municipalities. The case comes un- der the new net which does away with charity cases nt hospitals and hospital ami medical and surgical charges In Flesherton's case the patient had been away from the town for some time and in the decision on that very point all the municipalities are interested. If a man is roving around tho country, staying awhile here and awhile there, one would naturally think his home to be where his parents reside. But whether the wist- iuon who interpret tlu; law think so in the case of hospital pat- ients i yet to be discovorcd and thut interesting document called a prece- dent is lucking to settle the mutter.

Anyway by the time Mr. Sawyer reached Walkerton, he had about made up his mind that the | railway would be a good thing, that i there was business enough in sight | to make it pay and plenty of water '. privileges along the route to run it. j He expressed himself as being de-l lighted with the appearance of the) country. Indeed, - he had come up ' here expecting to encounter a semi- ' wilderness and was consequently not | prepared for the revelation which awaited him. From Walkerton, Mr. Sawyer left for home, but will be back in a few days to make further investigations. If they decide to go on with the work they must sign the contract not later than the first of September. I the most harm. Wicks Arrested Picture Show Thursday, August 2nd, at 8 30 p.m. "A Gold win Feature and " Educational Comedy ADMISSION : 30 and 25 cts. including tax NIAGARA FALLS, Ont., July 26 j \Vm. Wicks, twenty-six years old of Mount Forest, Ont., was arrested at the Trennick hotel here today charg- ed with steeling three thousand dollars from J. Schrieber, a farmer of Normanby township, near Mount Forest. It is alleged that Wicks promised to mary Schrieber's nine- teen year old stepdaughter and in- duced her to steal the money from the house. He took the girl from her home to Arthur, Ont., on the pretext of marriage, where he de- serted her and came to this city last Monday. He purchased a thousand dollar automobile here and was regis- tered at the hotel as "H. F. William- son." He was working for Schrieber at one time. Wicks has been brought to Owen Sound jail, where his victim is incarc- erated, and both will be tried there. C. E.

Canada Faces the Future With Confidence CANADIANS have always been noted for courage, optimism and faith in their country. Canada was not built up by pes- simists, nor will Canada continue to develop if her people allow them- selves to become croakers and grouchers. Canada is fundamentally an agricultural country. We have a soil and climate which cm grow the world's finest agricultural pro- ducts. Canar.ian farm- ers who have earned the capital invested in their farms out of profits in fanning are numbered in thou- sands. These suc- cessful farmers have prid off their mortgages, stocked their barns and stables, bo ight their machinery, made a good living and brought up their fami- lies. It meant hard work, but today they are independent. Money in Mixed Farming In recent years, at different points on the prairies, oats fed to steers have brought from 70c to $1.07 as against the Fort William price of 42c per bushel, while barley used for the same purpose has brought as high as 99c as against the Fort William price of 57c per bushel. Farmers marketing their coarse grains in this way lower marketing cost, have a sure market and make money on their grain, while at the same time they market their roughage, otherwise often wasted. The cattle embargo is now off. Steers are worth more money and certain to make good money for the Canadian farmer from now on. Money in Pigs The Dominion Experimental Farms have proved by actual test that there Is a profit in feeding pigs. Last year at the Central Farm, Ottawa, after paying for feed, labor, interest and depreciation, the net profit per pig was still $4-63. Profits from Sheep As money-makers, sheep are hard to beat. In every Province from Prince Edward Island to British Columbia are found many flocks returning generous profits to their owners. We Must Cut Production Costs Canada ia meeting with the keenest competition in the mark- eting of her produds. To hold her own and regain her place on th world's market, she must re- duce coat of production. The only way to do this ia to increase production per acre, per cow or per other unit. But improved quality, also, is essential to meet market de- mands. The quantity and the quality of the products and the coat of production in competitive coun- tries ia beyond our control Prices of agricultural products are regulated by world supply and demand. Hence, decreasing production will not help the Canadian farmer. Poultry Pays Poultry makes money for those who adopt modern meth- ods, whether East or West. Little Prince Edward Island mark- ets co-operatively in carlots, shipping an- nually upwards of on* million dozen eggs. The British Columbia Co-operative Poultry Men's Exchange markets in the same way, thus saving ruinous glut in their local market. There is a market for good Canadian horses, whether light or draught. Grow Seed Canada's Northern grown seed possesses extra vitality. There is a large market for it to the south. Can- ada exports seed potatoes, but imports other seeds. She has the opportunity to grow seeds for herself and for export. The Future Ten years from now the pessimists of today will have been forgotten. Britain has removed the embargo against our cattle. She wants our beef and bacon, our cheese, butter, eggs and apples, our wheat and flour. As the population of the United States increases, she will compete less and less against us on thc British market. Eventually, she will herself be an importer of many other food stuffs besides wheat from this country. Canada has the men, the climate, the land, the stock and the potential mark- ets necessary for agricultural success. Let us farm with all the industry and science we can muster. Let's get to work and pay our debts. Canada is moving forward with confidence in its future. Let us keep going ahead. Canada W. K. UOTHBBWU4* iJte:- . .. .
