THUBSTON, Kditor FLYING More disasters to venturesome flyers arc reported from the Atlantic and it is not surprising that aeain and ajrain in the last few days Can- adian aeronauts have been forced down on our dry soil to await a change in the ucn.thcr. DouH.iss. as time eoes by, flying over great expanses of water will be made safer, but in the meantime most travellers will be in- clined to keep to the land and to tha risks entitled to older methods of transit. Enthusiastic aviators ask us to be patient and leave it to them and their backers to soon devise means whereby flying will be made as safe as travel bv train or auto- mobile. They remind us that nine- teen year? alapsed between the sail- insr of the first steamship across the Atlantic and the institution of ree- ular steamship .service. The first flyers to cross the Atlantic only suc- ceeded in the perilous task in 1919, and the prediction is made that we shall have Kood service in 1937. Thus with all the fatalities, the en- thusiastic air men claim that they have Dot been doinK so badly after all. If their hope for safe flyintt is not realized it will not be for lack of exjjenditure of brain power and wealth. One of the worst ob- sitacles to be ovc-come is the dense fosrs on land and water. A flyer may be makint; the best of time, and yet be flyinir out of his course and us- ing hi.s precious suply of oil in vain, because of his inabilty in the inpen- ctrable fotr to keep his course. And as he has only a limltd supply o^ gas to keep his motor irninK his fate is sealed if he is compelled to take to the water. Now it is announced that an app- aratus has been invented which will enal le the flyer to see through the densest of fogs, and thereby be cnab- le<l to combat the worst obstacle to successful aviation which the aeronaut has experienced. There is a disposition on the part of governments to put no ob- stacle in the way of over-sea fly- in, providing that those indulging with planes that possess all reason- able safeguards, and that " e flyers themselves are experienced. But in view of the di.sasters of the last few weeks it is not surprisini; that pub- lic sentiment is now decidedly ag- ainst further experimo-''-'"g in long distance flying over seas by mere novices, and that the consensus of opinion is that the offering of prizes for the porfonnances of "stunts" hazardous in the extreme should be discouraged. It is courting â- death to start on a transatlantic trip utterly unprepared for a break <lown or for delays in the trip which would en»a\e th? exhaustion of the fuel .Hupply by which alone the fly- er can keep his motor going. Profound sorrow has been caused throughout the Beaver Valley and N'orth Grey by the news of the death whic took place Saturday of Mrs. C. W. Hartman, wife of Mr. C. W. Hart- man, banker, of Clarksburg. Mrs. Hartman was a member of the Marsh family, which has been a^iociated with the village'^lMce its founding, and during her long residence in Clar- ksburg was always actively associated with every good movement in the dis- trict. She was a member of St. George's church, and took a keen in- terest in all the organizations conn- ected therewith. Surviving in addit- ion to her husband, are two sons, J. H. of Clarksburg and Clayton of Tor- onto and two daughters, Mrs. Claude Running of Clarksburg and Mrs. Wal- ker of British Columbia. Rev. Canon Marsh of Lindsay is a brother.

Many of tliair de^enerste grandnons wouldn't walk « block if they could ride. The ii):reasing number of rural schools participating in the School Fairs, and the large number of ex- hibits entered and the interest taken â€"of which the Bentinck and Norman- by Fairs held last week were splendid examples â€" show that these fairs are now a very real annual event in the life of the rural communities. They have their main appe'iin that they are "simon pure." Children are in- terested because it encourages them to raise good products or to do good work, and offers competition under Very fair conditions. Parents are very much interested becau.se it is their own children who are competing, and the friendly rivalry created is all to the good. The occasion also offers something else that is of very real value to the communities, in that it brings the pcojjle together to a com- mon meeting ground to renew their friendships, and kfeps nlive a rom- munity spirit that is far-reaching. School Fairs arc in their infancy now but they give every promise of living to a ripe old age. â€" Hanover Post. We Enjoyed a Trip to Chicago, III., by Motor The Advance man took an extensive automobile 'trip recently, and a few ' observations of tho itinerancy may be of some interest to our readers. The trip was a most enjoyable qne and covered ground that is not comm- only chosen, except over some port- ions of it. The first leg of the journey v/as to Mitchell, then 25 miles across country to Grand Bend on Lake Huron', where we connected with the Blue Water Highway. This high- way sports too practical a name for the condition of the road, which is not kept in condition. The word "Blue" fits it aright, as it makes every motorist who travels over it blue, and from Grand Bend to Sarnia you do not see the "water." The I name should be changed and the road kept in repair if it is expected to be- I come popular. We passed through Forest and on to Windsor, where the customs officer made no objections to our entering his country. Through Port Huron and on west 40 miles to Mulay city constituted the first day's â-  pilgrimage. Mulay city boasts a I population of 1500 or 2,000, and 90 per cent, of that population are Can- adians. He was assured of this fact by some of the officials of the town. And they were proud of it. And they ' called it a city! But it was a nice I clean little tow^n, well paved and possessing all modern town conven- I ionces and amusements. ! The .se(;ond day we motored 42 : miles to Flint in the forenoon where [we visited cousins that we had never expected to see in this world. Flint ! i:? the second largest city in Mich- igan, having passed Grand Rap- i'!.--. It has a population of 200,000, and is second to Detroit. In the af- ternoon we passed southward through Kalamazoo, Lansing (the capital). Battle Creek where grape nuts and other wheat preparations are foisted upon a lonb-suffering people and on southward to South Bend, Indiana, for the night, passing on the way thruogh a number of fine towns, in- cluding Three Rivers, Elkhart and Mishawaka. We crossed from Mich- igan to Indiana about five miles north of Elkhart. All the large towns over the whole trip are big manufacturing centres. Flint is the home of the Chevrolet car in the cen- tral statell. Kalamazoo builds a ftove and their slogan is ".\ Kala- j azoo direct to you." It also has a j number of paper mills and many ; other industries. At South Bend, Indiana we saw the hu/re parent . works for America of the Singer . Sewing Machine and the big Stud- ' abaker works. I The third day was an easy one, passin? through I,:i Porte on the Lin- coln highway to Hammond on the out- skirts of Chicago, where we visited friends for a couple of hours. On our return journey we also stopped off at Hammond and visited with a friend, Mr. W. J. Mc.'Mecr and his good wife, a delightful host and hostess, with whom we remained over night. W. J. has a wonderful practice and a very handsome suite of offices. He is a representative we have no reaso: It is a good many ed in this country, to come over each old haunts. Chief the late aftSmoor.

Such -rapid .stride^ has Montreal been making in recent years that the city proper has a population bat 10, 000 below the million mark. Great- er Montreal, however, which includes I suburbs' in which are cities themselves the population totals 1, 128,783 which I is about a ninth of the people in all Canada. Montreal is undoubtedly a j great commercial city and the end ' of the next decade will likely witness ' a further increase of nearly half a ; million in population. The success of the Flesherton high school students was very gratifying this year^ and most of the graduates have already left for Toronto Normal school and t!ie University. These are as follows: Murray Nichol, Sam McDonald, Ross. Smith, Clifford Hincks, Wilhemina Scott and Kath- leen MacLean to Toronto Normal school and Grace Wright and Orloff Howden to Toronto University.

YOUR SUMMER COTTAGE AN APOLOGY W'e feel that we owe an explanation to our prospective customers in advertising our furniture display at the Fall Fair with Mr. Wells i" charge. Unfortuntaely Mr. Wells had bereavement in his family and could not come and look after it for us. You no doubt could see by the prices on different articles that we are still offering good gargains and would apprec- iate very much if you could call in and let us quote you our prices on the various lines. We ask you to accept this explanation as we do not make a practice of saying one thing and doing another. Respectfully yours. T. W.
