A sr SNE ( BE zu Iu? Pe I gi nll oY SY LIPTON'S TEA OVER 2 MILLION PACKAGES SOLD WEEKLY THREE NATIONS ARE UNITED Pacts Between Britain, France and United States Signed at Washington French Government at New York, and second Becretary Ovey, of the British Embassy, who witness- ed the signatures of their Govern- ments. Secretary Knox had provided a special pen for th occasion, but Mr. Bryce picked up one at ran- dom, and finding its point not to his liking, reached for another. Then he bent over the treaty, and Secretary Knox followed his ex- ample. There wa. no other sound in the room as the pens scratched over the parchment. Mr. Bryce laid down his pen first and ex- tended his hand to the President. Secretary Knox then laid aside the copy of the Anglo-American treaty and nodded to Viscount De Saint Phalle. The latter moved up closer to the desk and witnessed the signature as Mr. Knox's pen scrawled over the second document. President Taft immediately after the signing of the treaties affixed his signature to the messages of transmittal which completed ar- rangements for sending the pacts to the Senate. The entire ceremony did not ex- tend over an hour. A despatch from Washingtov says: In President Taft's study in the White House on Thursday af- ternocon a remarkable scene was enacted, when Frarce, Great Bri- tain and the United States pledg- ed their faith in the substitution of arbitration for bloodshed in the settlement of all international dis- putes. The two treaties--the first of their kind ever entered into be- tween any two nations of the world--were signed shortly after 8 o'clock on Thursday afternoon. The informality and simplicity of the ceremony added to its impres- siveness. Copies of the treaties were lying on the President's study table as Mr. Taft and Secretary Knox and the representatives of the two Fu- ropean Governments entered the room. Secretary Knox and Mr. James Bryce, the British Ambassador, seated themselves on opposite sides of the table. President Tatc stood on Secretary Knox's right and near him were Viscount De THEMES 0 PARAGRAPH] HAPPENINGS FROM ALL OVER - THE GLORE IN A NUTSHELL.

Hundred Acres London Man A despatch from London, Ont., says: If what David Welch, of 580 Dufferin Avenue, says is true, he owns a large-sized chunk of Ham-. iltou, and he is going to try to re- cover what belongs to him right away. Welch says he holds deeds to 300 acres situated in the heart of the Ambitious City, which is part of a grant made by the Crown a century ago to one Caleb Rey- nolds. The balance of the grant changed hands legally, but Welch, whose wife is an heir of Reynolds, OTTAWA RIVER IS LOW. Water is Twenty-One Feet Lower Than in May. A despatch from Ottawa says: An examination of the lockmas- ter's book showed the startling fact that the water -in the Ottawa River had sunk. about twenty-one feet since last May. Last May the water stood twenty-eight feet eight inches in the Ottawa River. Since that time it has been sinking rap- idly, until now the water stands at seven feet eleven inches, and bids fair to go much lower if there is no serious rainfall. In the Ot- tawa River it has not affected na- vigation so far. In the Ri'eau the water is extremely low, and it may become dangerous for the boats of the Rideau Lakes Navigation Com- pany to make their trips. -- WANT BEST APPARATUS. Montreal's Fire Department Will Have New Equipment. A despatch from® Montreal says: The Board of Control has taken steps to have the city's fire depart- ment the most up-to-date 1n America, the latest being to call for tenders for five automobile fire- fighting machines and two of the BAS Throo| claims that the 300 acres referred to were not sold, but were squat- ted upon, and that. the present tg deeds are not good. -The land is situated along. Burlington Bay, and includes much propeérty, a]. rough estimate of the value of which is $20,000,000. Caleb Rey- nolds was a United Empire Loy- alist, and after losing everything in the American Revolution, he came across the border, and the Government made him a grant of several hundred acres. tm MANY ATTRACTIONS, Two Weeks of Solid Enjoyment at C.

A despatch from Lond n, Ont., says: Edward H. B. McKone, a science teacher, of this city, has discovered what he believes to be a new species of beetle so far as this country is concerned, and which will in time wipe out the Colorado bettle, better known as the potati: bug. The new beetle resembles a milk leaf beetle, and it preys upon potato bugs, destroy- ing many of the pests in twenty- four hours. It was found in a potato field near Devizes, a short distance from London, and ib is said that where the newcomers were plentiful the Colorado beetles were scarce. Severa! specimens have been sent to the Ontario Ag- ricultural College, Guelph. oe HAT AND COAT ON ENGINE.

Man Caught in Montreal and Fined x for It. freakish about the growth of the new unnamed variety of wheat just cut at the Experimental Farm, farmers will undoubtedly be much interested in this grain. This new variety of wheat was sown at the Experimental Farm in April and was cut on July 31, so that there are only ninety-four or ninety-five days between seeding and cutting. Last year Marquis wheat, which .s a very early variety, occupied one hundred and seventeen days be- tween seeding and cutting, and Red Fife was one hundred and twenty-three days. If the new va- riety, which is not yet named, lives up to the record it has this year, farmers may find it a much more suitable variety for the country than is other spring wheats.
