On the third morning we had our first glimpse of the West Indies, the little island of Salvador, which Columbus discovered so many years ago. On we sailed through the blu3 Carribbean, past Cuba and Haiti until, at the end of the sixth day, we docked &t Cristobal, the Atlantic end of the Panama Canal. The Panama Canal and a narrow strip cf land on each side of it is United States owned. Several thous- ands of soldiers are stationed in the Canal 2^se and these are very much in evidence at the various locks. Oui ship, a com'paratively small vessel j(aid lapproximately $>,0OD for the privilege of passing through. Ths trip was made in daylight -and took about 7*^ hours, a distance of about forty-four infles. On the home- ward trip a number of our pasesngers, and myself, arranged to fly aci-oss the Canal, thus giving more time to see the various places of interest at Pan. ama City on the Pacific and Cristobal on the Atlantic. We motored out to old Pxnama City to look over the ruins «f w^bat liad once been -the wealthiest city on the continent in the glamorous days of the Spanish Main. Morgan, an English pirate, plundered it, took away an enormous quantity of gold and left it in flames. We made several stops along the road to watch the army ants at their work. To protect themselves from the heat of the sun these little insects carried pieces of leaves much larger than themselves. These leaves would be used as food. Sunning themselves on the mud -banks of the road were various brightly colored land crabs. Spaniards Missed Valuable .\ltar In Panama City we visited a Cath- olic chnrch, in which is the famous "Golden Altar." The story told to us is that the Spaniards rushed to theii church when Morgan arrived, and cov- ered its altar with a white substance, prabably plaster of Paris, and when the pirate entered the church he over- looked the altar, as he wa» interested only in gold. Thus it was saved and rescued dVoni the flames. Now it is carefully preserved, a ten million dol- lar reminder of the anornious wealth of the olden days. The beauty of this altar is beyond description. At noon we boarded an eight passenger plane, soared 15,000 feet above land and in exactly 28 minutes we were across the continent. As the day was very clear we had a magnificent view cf the canal and surrounding country. •After lunch we drove out ta see the •Id French canal, where so many gal- lant men lost their lives in an unswc- cessful attempt feo build a .4iort route between the Paciific and Atlantic Oceans. The American government bas pi-actically eliminated all danger of the dread fever by keeping th« swamps always covered with oil. To travellers erossiag the equator is a never-to-be-forgotten experience. One morning we found King Neptuae. his daughter and their court, in pos- session of our after deck, beside our swimming pool. Dressed in bathing suits, straw skirts, crowns and red bandanas, their faces grotesquely painted black and red, they were, in- deed, a strange looking crowd. Eack of us who had not crossed the line previously wer« called down in turn before the king. Our charge was r«ad and sentence delivered. Some were charged with staying op too Ute, •thers with being sea sick etc. The various sentences were more exciting â€" • royal shampoo, either an egrg Jr tomato rub; a royal shave, with flour and water: a neptune pill, the siie of a small biscuit, made flf soap or dough, and pu.<»hed well into the mouth. Any o* the.se were followed by the vActin* having to sit on a chair (Continued on Page 5) Milk Price Rises Milk prices in Flesherton took an upward trend the first of tha week and a quart is now retail- ing at 9 cents. Mr. John Thistlethwaite. local dairyman, was forced to this procedure owing to the scarcity of pasture in consequence of which he has to feed hay to his stock twice a day to keep them living. A few good rains are needed be- fore the pasture will be able to produce very much feed, as the fields are quite parched. If much of the stored feed is used this fall there •will certainly be a sc&rcity of hay during the coming winter. Lt-Cnl. C. K. S. Macdonell To Commond 22nd Brigade Lieut._CoI. C. K. S.

They had pleaded guilty to robbery of parts and tools from garages at Durham, Flesherton and Meaford. They had been remanded the week previous for sentence. Both Barker and Innis had made trips to the north country in an effort to dispose of the stolen goods, selling them as bankrupt stock, and after pleading guilty to the thefts in court gave the police definite information as to the places where the articles had been placed. Messrs. D. McTavish and Geo. McTavish, along with the men from the Durham garage, and in company of the police, made a trip as iar north as New Liskeard and re- covered about eighty per cent, of the parts stolen from their garages, in- cluded among which was a large cyl- inder reamer, valued at $85. A con- siderable quantity of the parts could not be located, but they were fortun- ate in being able to recover so much of the loot taken.

Current Crop Report Recent general rains have improved pasturage and will benefit root crops and late tree fruits. Threshing of fall wheat is about . ompleted with yields below averagre. Harvesting; of spring grains is nearing comple- tion under favorable weather condi- tions. Threshing is well advanced with oats and barley yiiSding from 36 to 60 bushels per acre. Com is in good condition. The hay crop is con- siderably below average. The second cutting of alialfa is light. Roots are making satisfacSory progress. Turn- ips in a few districts will be below anil that the superannuation act be ^ average, due to insect damage. Sugar tion of the tender systems for rural routes, amendment of regulations so postmasters could sell stamps to collectors, that mail bags be cleaned and disinfected at regular int«r%-als amended, were among other resolu_ tions adopted. -A. number of "con- scientious" resolutions were laid over for further discussion. MAXWELL We extend our sympathy to the beets are 30 per cent under expecta- tions. Apples, peaches and pears will be light, with apple pruduction estimated at one-third less than last year and paaches one-half of last year's tonnage. Grapes promise a good yield. 'W.

S. McLean, president of Canad" Packers, for the annual meeting of that organ- ization shows cleiwly that farmers of Canada lost just $12,000,000 last year on hogs because the quality was not good enough. Here is the way Mr. McLean figures it out. While only ten per cent of the 6,000.000 hog? slaughtered are exported in the form of bacon and hams thi.i portion sets the price for the whole output. It the Canadian bacon sold in Britain in 1933 had broHght five shillings more per hundredweight it would have re- sulted in approximately on« cent pet pound more for live hogs, or two dollars per head, or $12,000,000 foi the farmers. .And there is apparent, ly no good reason why this extra five shillings per hundredweight cannot be obtained. Danish bacon actually averaged 10 shillings above the price paid for Canadian bacon so that it should have been comparatively easy for the Canadian hog raiser to im- prove his output to the tune of five shillings per hundredweight.
