Suffered Great Loss When Barns Burned PORTLAW A disastrous fire on Wednesday of last week, on the farm of Mr. Louis Hill, third line, Osprey, completely wiped out all his farm buildings ex- :ept the dwelling house. Mr. J. Boyce was engaged threshing at the time and nearing the noon hour a small patch <ji' fire was noticed on the barn voof. Immediately afterward fire started in the barn and before any- thing could be saved the large barns and contents were a mass of flames. The heat was so intense that it was only with the most strenuous efforts on the part of the large for;-e o men. who had quickly gathered, that the house, which was only a short dist- ance away, was saved. The buildings consisted of two large frame barns, implement shed, garage and other buildings, and were among the most expensive farm buildings in the township. They contained the entire season's crop of hay and grain of the 50 acre farm, which, together with the farm machinery, were com- pletely wiped out. Mr. Boyce wa. unable to save his machine and fhe loss is a serious one to him also. We understand that Mr. Hill carried in- The Flea Jumped While running his sea flea in Townsend's Lake, west of Markr'/'e. No Blame Attached To Driver of Car brakea were defective.

Mr. Reg. Irish, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. Irish cf Wareham, who some weeks ago was badly injured when he fell from the roof of a barn near Me-iford WRS last week operated upon in To- ronto. Latest reports state that he is in a very citical condition and his Mr~. M. Janfjeson returned last in company with her son, Chas., and family of Owen Sound. Mrs. Alf. Thistlethwaite left last week on the first part of her trip to the west where she will spend the winter with her daughter, Mrs. V. Hughe? in Vaniover.

Dr. Pogue was returning from a visit to Pari-s, France, where ho vras attending a convention. The weather from Thursday to Sat- urday last week compared with the hot weather of last July and the ther- mometer iumped as high as 92 in <he shade here. It was the hottest September on record. Mrs. Geo. Goldsborough and two children of Toronto are spending a few months with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Mitchell. Mr. Golds- borough is in northern Ontario occu- pied in construction work. Some local young swains were In trouble last week from taking wood from a private cache in the valley in order to make a corn roast fire burn with greater heat. They were .ailed upon to settle tfor their fun. This year there has been considerable >f this petty thieving from apple trees. The Priceyille Fair The annual Briceville fall fair was held on Thursday and Friday of last week. A large exhibit was arranged in the hall on Thursday and judging took place that afternoon. Friday afternoon was devoted to the show- ing of live stock, of which the entries were numerous. The attendance was not large as the fine weather caused many to remain home who otherwise would have been there. The con- cert is the evening in 'the hall was given by the Dromore Dramatic Club with' their play "Valley Farm" am' a large crowd was there. A dance was also held at the close of the con- cert for which Haws' orchestra fur- nished the required music.

Bad Company Was Cause The downfall of Jack Brockenshire should be a lesson to all young men to shun bad company. Tnis ^ad bears the reputation cf being a splen- did n'llow in his young days, as the following from the Orillia Packet and Times shows: "Brockenshire was born in Orillia and received his early train- ing here. He \vr - also an all round i sport and before leaving Orillia was j well thought of: Many remomber going to school with him, and were shocked to hear that it was he who had committed such a brutal murder. Even his former school teachers spoke well of him. However, when his family moved to Toronto and then to Windsor, the lad got into bad company -and moved ranidly tov.-ards his doom." Like many other boys, the fast life of the city le-'. him away and he fell in with bad company and nt the end of a short route of crime he has been brought beneath the shadow of the gallows. A sad story brt a very real one. at county points for a rising market is decidedly unwise because of tht fact that storage facilities are not ad- equate to maintain quality in the egg. Eggs are graded by candling before a strong light, and the grade of the egg depends on the size of the air cell. This is turn varies in accordance with the amount of CO2 or carbon dioxide eiven off by the egg through its shell. You can't fool the eirg grader and it doesn't pay to hold. jackets at the time but fortunately) both were gocd swimmers and, as the! engine had stopped, it was no trouble for them to hang onto, the boat. Dr. Bryce, and a farmer who lived :!ose by and was watching the boat' soar over the surface of the lake.' found a punt close by and immediately set out for scene of the incident, ap-j oroximately three hundred yards from ! *hore. They pulled the men into the J >oat and then towed the sea flea to the } shore where it was righted. The i boat v/as not damaged and, while the men were given an unexpected bath, they did not suffer any from Sheir enforced immersion and are all ready- to take another whirl at tho thrilling sport.

MjCauUy of town en- joyed quite a success this year with : her fancy work at the Ottawa and ! Toronto exhibitions. At Ottawa she , won three first prizes, one second prize; and at the Canadian National ' Exhibition in Toronto took three first first prizes. At each show there were six pieces entered in the competition THE WESTERN MARKET The Ontario Growers' Market is enthusiastic about the Western mark- et for Ontario-grown fruit and vege-. tables. Tomatoes must be packed in ugs and paper wrapped for this mark- ; et, according to C. W. Bauer, secre-' tary, who says further: "The West! wants Ontario tomatoes, but wants them packed differently. We can sell our tomatoes in 11 -quart baskets | in the Wi-st at unsatisfactory prices, but if we want to develop a large market for tomatoes at good prices they must be packed differently." j A similar situation has developed ; n regard to peaches. Officers of the Council have come to the conclusion that basket packing is not a satisfac- tory method to be used for the West- ern market. Different Ontario fruit growing organizations are equipping themselves ;-> pack peaches in boxes' for the Western trade. It is realized that to expand their markets better packages must be realized. and said they Orr's rate of Evidence was given to then righted itself again. The cor- oner remarked that he did not see how th 3 could have occurred at the rate of speed the car was said to have been travelling. Besides the occupants of the car, Dr. Carr-Harris of Maxwell nr.:i Dr. J. E. Milne of Flesherton both gave evidence, as did Provincial Constable Cook of Meaford. The following is the verdict cf the coroner's jury in full. "We the coroner'j jury, empanelled to inquire into the cause of the death of the late John Bemrose, after vis- iting the scene of the accident, view- ing the remains and alter a thorough examination of the evidence submitt- ed to us have unanimously arrived ai the following verdict: "We find that the forementionei died about 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 2, from a fracture at the base of the- skull caused by the accidental over- turning of an automobile driven O y Albert Orr of 845 Manning Avenue, Toronto, in which the deceased was a passenger and which occurred at a ioint one quarter mile north of county road "No. 52 on the townline between Osprey and Artemesia townships.
