For five years he worked with the Durham Furni. ture Company and then took up farm- ing at Aberdeen and on the -Ith of .Glenelg and 14 years ago pui*chased ithe Rocky Saugeen chopping mill which he operated until he moved to Flesherton 11 months ago. In 1906 he married Miis Agnes Isabelle Vessie of the Rocky Saugeen, who survives him, together with a family of three ehildtfin, Rena, 16 years of age, Bry- son 11 years and Elmer 7 years, all • at homcf. He is also survived by his mother residi.ig at Aberdeen. One sister, Mary, (Mrs. W. J. Lawrence) of Durham, two brothers, Walter Clark of Desboro and Lome, on the old home, survive.

The casket was banked with a bower of beautiful flowers given by friends and relatives, besides a spray from the Women's Association oi Chalmer's church, Flesherton. HOME TOWN NEWS The importance of home to^vn news in the small town paper hft.-- been em- phasized by a large gathering of edi- tors of the smaller American news- papers in New York. Local needs and little personal . items, it was shown, possessed the trongest appeal for their re^v(je^•s. The dwellers in a small 'iown are undoubtedly more in- terp.sted in wh.at is going on immed- iatoly around him than he is in plans, say, for the development of wheat- growing in Siberia. It is what most immediately concerns us that is of the greatest personal interest to us. That does not mean that a man in a small town has no interest in world affairs. In many instances, however, indeed, it will be found that the editors of small town newspapers are e.xception- ally well-informed upon world affairs. But they wisely judge that their read- ers will find more delectable iriaterial for debate in the developments and happenings of the town in which they live than in what is going on in Tibet or Timbuctoo. There is in this noth- ing of narrowness, nothing of prejud- ice, nothing of small vision. It i? just plain horse sense.

The main fault with the local squad was their inability to peg to the bags and some loose fielding. Beard had an off day behind the bat and stolen bases were numerous. The lads improved in their batting in this game and if they could only hold down their wildness would make the game closer for their opponents. Kimberley won from Ravenna on Friday 14-11. Some heavy batting seems to be the rule this year, as all games have been high scoring af- fairs. Ravenna and Flesherton at present are fighting it out for the cellar position, both having lost three games without any wins.

To prevent the false impression being formed that because bees are subject to disease, some honeys might not be used for food, it is important to draw attention to the fact that what affects bees produces absolutely no effect on human beings. So far as bee disease is concerned, all honeys are perfectly safe for food. Further it may be noted that honey, instead of promoting disease, tends to retard it, because most of the disease organ- isms that attack man can not live in honey. Honey draws the Water oi their construction from the organisms and kilis them. The Ontario Marketing Board re- ports that in the near future, several hundred gallons of maple syrup w^ill go from Montreal to Jamaica, Trini- dad, Bermuda, British Guiana and other points in that region. Figures show that practically no Canadian maple sjTUp has reached the 2.000,000 population of the British West Indies, and very little from any other source. The skunks are not all to be found in "Skunk's Misery." Consider the money hoarder and his unpaid bills. 320 FAIRS TO BE HELD { - i Of the Agricultural Societies in On- tario, some 320 plan to hold fairs this year, acconling to J. A. Carroll, ^superintendent, Agi'icultural Societies Branch. "In certain quarters," said Mr. Carroll, "there was a feeling that gov- ernment and municipal cuts in grant ; would tend to disrupt the plans of many of these organizations. How- ever, from the impression gai.ned at the District Fair Association meet- ings I have .attentled throughout the province, I feel thlat the directors arc determined by increased energy and enterprise to maintain the standards of the organizations, many of which have been in existence for almost a century."
