Editor Assoc. Editor liDH'ORIAL N01 ES Sir Henry Pellatt can play a tune on a coffee pot. That'.s nothing; a Fleshtrlon man indipnantly .says his wife harps an one string "morning, Boon prd night." • • * G. E. Thomas of Orillia declare? he grew peaches this year, the pro- duct of a seed planted three summers ago. One time, it was thought peaches could not be grown north of Roches- ter, N.Y. Now look at our jK-a^h belts south, west and east. We may yet find the peach belts around the Mus- koka lakes. • • • The apple crop in Ontario promises to be larger, than at first expected, and if the consignments for export are carefully culled there may be a larger market in Great Britain than last year. In some districts there is marked deterioration in the offer- ing because of moist weather, causing scab and high winds increasing the windfalls. • » » Butter, which has for months been low in price, is now advancing. Get ready for more profitable returns, dairymen and maidens! The cows wi!l do their best if well fed. • • • Cider Mills are now working over- time. Ditto, home made wine mak- ers and pickle putters-up. « * * Though the Ontario Hydro Commis- sion have a surplus in their treasury of millions of dollars they have ad- vanced prices to the municipalities for the ensuing year. The municipal solons simply cannot understand the logic of the excuse, which is that premium has to be paid for funds borrowed in the United States. • • • This candid confession is made by the Durham Review man:- "Wo ought to be out of the depression. A lot of us are just about out of everything else." Come to Flesherton, dear pal. You can always buy your.self intoj prosperity at this shopping centre. • » ♦ Dr. Cochrane, .Secretary of the Home Mission Doard of the United .States declare.? that in Southern .Saskatch- ewan there are 300 municipalities, who will meed clothing again ihis winter and the local authorities know not where it will come from. Tho church gave liberally la.-t year, but its resources have been much impair- ed by the depression throughout tha Dominion. It is asked that the big churches refrain from fancy expensii- tures ami help the union hoaid whi find it unable to raise $100 for a frontier U>/. place of wor.=hip. • • • At a conference of bla:k.smiths in Toronto last week there was str.-irg advocacy of the formation, of n le;;'al- ised union to prevent inexpericncd workmen from operating. Hors; shocrs certainly should be licensed, but the legislature has hitherto re- fused to grant them one. The action now contemplated is proof that the road coinei- blacksmith \n still aljvc and kicking despite motor cnnipeti- tion.

HANEY » a B ^ Kditnd-br GRANT rLCMi:;C, M.D. ASSOCIATrStCHETAHV , CONTACTS The word "contacts" is used with many different meanings. We speak, for example, of social contacts; but when the term is used in preventive medicine is refers to persons who have closely associated with, or exposed to the discharges from the body of a person suffering from a communicable .'liscase. A tuberculosis contact is a person who has been living with or frequent- ly in company of one ho is suffering from tuberculosis. The communicable diseases, are, as a rule, spread by contact. The con- tact may be direct, as in kissing, or when the saliva is passed directly from the sick to the well by uncovered roughs, sneezing or vigorous talking. When the saliva is deposited on some article, such as a cup, whish is used later by a second person who in this way receives the saliva of the sick person, then contact is said to be indirect. The germ^, which cause disease and which leave the body in its se- cretions and excretions, do not gen- 2rally survive for long. Sunlight and drying destroy them. This ex- plains why it is that direct contact is- chiefly responsible for the spread of disease germs, as in such cases the transfer is direct, the number of germs passed is apt to be large, and the germs are not exposed to those forces in nature which destroy them. Indirect contact does account for many cases, however. The danger is in proportion to the length of time that elapses between the germs leav- ing one body and gaining entrance to the second. It is well to keep in mind that "it is persons, not things, which are dangerous;" or. in other words, that it is direct contact with the secretions of those harboring dis- ease which is dangerous, rather than the room and other inanimate objects which they have touched. We say "those harboring disease germs" because it is not only those who are actually ill with a communi- cable disease who have to be consid- ered, but also those who are coming down with the disease and those who are "carriers" of the germs, although they themselves are apparently well. It is evident that we are vitally rioncerned in the health of those with whom we come in contact. The men- ice of the careless cougher, sneezer and spitter, or the person who talks into your face, is obvious. The pro- tection secured through the thorough washing of hands before eating, and the reason why the hands should be kept away from the face, is appar- ent when one considers all those articles with which the hands come into contact, and which may be soiled by fresh human germ-laden secretions. Life brings us many contacts. Reasonable care makes such contacts safe. "* After a lingering illness of nearly two years, due to heart affliction death came early Wednesday morn- ing. August 31st to Mrs. Mabel Prud- ence Lovilla Cornfield, beloved wife of Robert Hnney, following a severe! attack on the previou i Friday. The ; wrcat pain and suffering was endured I with gentle courage and fortitude, even in the last few I'.^ys her desire b-jing for the comfort ai: 1 welfare of others^ which was typical of her entire life. Her friends were co.mtip.ss, witness the banks of beautiful flowers which flooded the living-room in which she lay in sweet, silent dignity. Mrs. Haney was born at Mount Zion on October 16th, 1867, where she lived until her marriage, following which she resided for several years on Victoria Avenue, Dundalk, before moving to Toronto. She was the youngest of eleven children of the late James and Mary Cornfield and is sur- vived by her husband and three chil- dren: Gladys, Kenneth and Burnett, all of Toronto. She is also survived by one sister (the oldest of the fam- ily) Mrs. Elizabeth Barron of Colby, Kansas, U.S.A., and two brothers, Joseph, formerly of Flesherton and now living in Toronto, and James formerly of Mount Zion and now res- iding near Shelburne. The funeral was conducted from her late residence, 86 Blackthorn Ave., Toronto, to Prospect Cemetery, the service being taken by the Rev. G. C. Balfour, who was a friend of the Cornfield family for many years when at Mount Zion. The pall-bearers were her nephews: Robert T. Corn- field, J. Murray Cornfield, R. N. Corn- field, Stanley Magee, James Magee and Harold Wilson. â€" Dundalk Herald. nice Leavell F., Allan Chappie F.

Mr. Claude Akins of Springhill showed six horses in the General Purpose, Carriage and Roadster classes and secured five first prizes and a second. Dr. J. E. Milne showed four horses in the Roadster class and won three firsts and a sec- ond. A yearling colt in his string has been shown at four fairs against competition and hasn't been beaten yet. Ontario by James B. Fairbairn, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, as the result cf reports reaching him that agents are now canvassing certain sections ot the province with .seed oats for sale that are quite capable, according to their claims, of producing 100 bushels to the acre, and for which they charge between $1.60 and $1.80 per bushel. Mr. Fairbairn advised that farmers before buying should get in touch with their District Agricultural Represen- tative or the nearest Experimental Farm. He also stated that in a num- ber ot counties the Department is do- ing special work on oats grown from seed that is free from smut. In these partici?lar districts there is plenty of seed to meet the farmers' require- ments. Use of inferior seed there would upset all the Department's work. A NEW WRINKLE ON THE OIL PROBLEM With car oil selling at twenty-four cents for the gallon and the price of hogs being dov.'n in the gutter, rural residents of this district in scratching their brows for ways and means to balance their budget have settled up- on a new one. Since the latest typ" oil burners have populari'.!ed the use of fuel oil o'' low grade kerosene, some of the ruralities have found th-'t coa! oil sales have dropped considerably. Th" light given off by this heavier -il is very little different than th:\t pro- vided by ordinary coal-oil and as fu'-d oil is delivered to one's home at 12c per gallon, or half the price of^ the l;ero.«ene, there is good reason for it= popularity. Some car owner.s have reported that they have used this fue: oil mixed with ;!;asoline in their car? and have found it just as suitable .".f gasoline en pure.

It will be the last fair of the season in this district so make it a record one with your attendance.

KILLlNt; THE FLIES Most efforts to keep clear of stable flies have been restricted to spraying the flies on the cows. The sugges- tion is • now made that the flics be fought in the stables as well. The idea is to spray the flies with a killing spray while they are settled in the walls and coiling. If this spraying is done in the early morning it will be more effective a.s the flie.< are then sluggi.sh in their movements. Lats afternoon is also a good time. Close the stable and spray with a fine mist that fills the air. 0«e part of formalin in 19 parts of milk or sweetened water makes a good and cheap spray. Th« same mixture may be left arouad ir plates for the fli»s to drink. Keeping all manure cleared away from tht stable and yards will remove bresdinji places for the flies and reduce tht nuisance. Where it is not convenient to move the manure to the fields, il should be kept in a screened shed. SHOOTING MATCn DAIRY ACT AMENDED WARNING TO FARMERS A warning is issued to farmers o! Announcement is made by Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy, Minister of Agri- culture, that with a view to aiding the pocketbook of the Ontario farMtr the regulations applying under tht Dairy Products Act have been so amended as to place no curb on the prices which creameries may pay in future for producers' cream. The farmer is bound to benefit from any increased prices resulting from stiff competition between the creameries. The farmer has had little incentive in the past to produce special grade cream and to maintain his buildings and equipment to the strict letter of the law, but the change in regulations offers extra inducement to which it is felt he should promptly respond. The maximum acidity for special grade ^ream is not more than .3% at the time of being graded at the creamery where it is to be made into butter and the fat content shall not be less than 28 per cent.
