EXPERIMENTAL WORK AT HIGH SCHOOL THE PAST YEAR The high school garden, which has been given to experimental work this past summer, has, up to the present, been a splendid success. Experiments have been attempted with three kinds of oats, O.A.C. No. 3, which is an early oat and did not produce a heavy crop; No. 2 produced a splendid crop of Liberty hulless oats, which may in future be of considerable value to farmers for feeding young stock, while plot No. 3 was planted in O.A. C. No. 144, which ripens rather late, but from all appearances and prev- ious reports is a heavy yielder. Ex- periments are also being carried on with Empire State potatoes, part of the plot being planted with seed hav- ing one eye, part with two eyes, part with three eyes and part the whole potatoes. The remainder of the garden is given to the growing of mangels with the object of estimat- ing of the number of tons that may be secured from land in this vicinity. The National Fertilizer Co. of West Toronto gave a bag of their special 484 fertilizer and although this was used on the poorer soil, yet a marked difference can be noticed on the po- tato crop. Considerable interest was shown by the students when doing the planting and the plot has been given excellent care by Mr. Wm. Patton during the summer. The government gave a special grant of S25 fo rthis work which covered all the cost. E. RUTLEDGE DIES AT MONT CLAIR, N.J. Mrs. Jamieson of town received a message this week announcing the death of her brother, Edward Rut- ledge, at Mont Clair. N.J. Mr. Rut- ledge was 52 years of age. He was born at Flesherton and went to New Jersey over thirty years ago. He married Miss .\nnie McGruther. also of Flesherton, and besides his widow he leaves three children, two of whom are married. The youngest son is old enough to continue his father's cabinet making and upholstery busi- ness. The deceased gentleman had for some time been suffering from a spinal trouble. Interment took place at Mont Clair. Feversham Field Day Sports Feversham will hold a Field Day of spoi-ts on Saturday next, .\ugust 23rd.

The Miller Musical Troup of Port McNichol will give a concert at night. See large bills for full particulars. HAVE A GUILTY CONSCIENCE While we are .unalterably opposed to the enactment of any legislation that makes it less difficult for any- one to obtain intoxicating liquor we know of no reason why the forth- coming campaign should create ill feeling between individuals of oppos- ing views. The man who is in favor of total prohibition is juSt as good a citizen as the man who would prefer easy avenues for obtaining his supply of liquor, and vice-versa. When we hear someone of either view dealing in invectives against those of the op- posite view it is a pretty safe guess to say that they have no logical ar- gument to present or else they are irritated by a guilty conscience which they are trying to allay by vigorous protest against imagined curtailment of rights. â€" Burks Falls Arrow.

Fishing In Georgian Bay Fish CrankTwind In Fith By Cranks On Thursday last The Advance man enjoyed a Uttle outing in comp- any with several others, which proved a delight indeed. Reeve Riley of Meaford was the host on this occasion â€" a right royal host. He had provid- ed a gasoline launch and fishing tackle and the watara of Meaford Bay were thoroughly patrolled nearly to Cape Rich, with the resulting catch of five salmon trout. None of them, however, weighed more than fifteen pounds. In fact we believe the larg- est would not weigh more than six pounds. The party was made up of W. J. McAleer of Hammond, Indianna; Dr. Robinson of Indianna Harbor; Mr. N. Henderson, Brampton, Sheriff of Peel County; Mr. George Rowntree of To- ronto, and Messrs. George Mitchell Warden McTavish and the Scribe. The day was ideal for the sport, with calm waters and bright sun- shine. The old Georgian Bay was in one of its pleasant moods, but the fish seemed a little shy. Sheriff Henderson is an expert fisherman, htmter and all around good sport, and to his expert knowledge fell three out of the five trophies. The big lawyer from over "beyant" got one and our home ex-banker the other. Fishing in these waters is unlike what we have seen elsewhere. One must get his hook down one to two hundred feet before he reaches the feeding ground of the salmon. Mr. Salmon hides in deep water during the dog days. He likes the cool depths. Mankind has learned of these predilections and goes down after him. And he does it i» a scientific mechanical sort of way that gives the poor fish little chance to disentangle itself from the barbed terror. A Jumbo reel is fastened to the side of the boat, on which is wound 300 ft. of copper or galvanized wire. When a fish strikes, the fish- erman grabs a crank as big as an automobile crank and winds and winds, as he would if he were turning a grindstone or a clothes wringer. And very often he trails in a poor little two-pound fish, which makes the whole big operation appear lud- icrous in the extreme. But again, it may be an eight or ten-pounds, or even a twenty-pounder, and then laboring on that crank does not seem quite so Quixotic. Large numbers of summer visitors find Meaford a charming spot for the hot days of summer, but this year the weather has prevented the usual number from taking advantage of its charms. It has quite a flotilla of small craft for fishing and boating purposes, and best of all it has many charming hosts among its populace, and we vote Reeve Riley one of the best ever when it comes to handing out pleasure to one's friends. The trip to Meaford was made in Mr. Mc.A.leer's big Cadillac car. and to him also belongs a big slice of the credit for one of the most enjoyable short outings we have had in a long Ame. H. V. HOWE DIES AT YONKERS, N.Y. Mr. Henry Vickers Howe of Yon- kers, N. Y., died very suddenly on Saturday night, -August 9th, in his Slst year. Mr. Howe was a native of Canada and was well known in the vicinity of Thombury, where his early life was spent, and in Meaford, where he ran a grocery business for a short time. For 38 years he has been a resident of the United States. He was a brother-in-law of Mrs. W. H. Thurston of Flesherton. He leaves his widow, formerly Miss Mary -Ann Gaudin, two sons and three daughters all residing in the States. Interment took place in Wood- lawn cemetery, Yonkers. There will be a three-day trap shooting competition at the Canadian National Exhibition on August 26th. 27th and 2Sth.

The Anglican garden party last Thursday evening was a successful event. .A. splendid supper was serv- ed by the ladies in the basement of the church and a good program in the open-air was ably presided over by the Rector, Mr. Pogson* The base- ball game in the evening between the Inistioge and eBthel teams was not all pleasant. When church people go to so much trouble to provide en- tertainment it is a disappointment to them when the pelasantness of the evening is marred by so much squabbling at the baseball game.
