Arrowsmith gn*own at his home in Ceylon. They are of the blue variety, as large as any you can buy. and are "f a good quality and tastiness. There are few cases of sweet grapes being grrown to maturity in this district, as the winters and early fall frosts pre- vent successful cultivation. Schools Have Opened Flesherton high and public schools opened for the fall term on Tuesday of this week, with very good attend- ance in each school. A close watch is being kept on the health of the pupils and Mrs. H. Hutton, a graduate nurse, has been engaged to visit the schools twice a day and examine each child for symp^toms of infantile paralysis. Vandeleur and Ceylon schools will op- en next Mondey, as it was in those districts where the last outbreak of paralysis occurred. (By Principal H. L. Eubank) Business Practice has been defined as "A course to teach students the „„ .,..,. . u i. ... ^ ^. ...

McKillop Died Suddenly Monday sherton on Monday afternoon, Mr. Dougald McKillop, well known busi- ness man, passed peacefully away in his sleep. He was sitting in front of his store Monday afternoon for over an hour chaliing with a neigh- bor and appeared to be in his usual health and about five o'clock went into his home adjoining the store and laid down on the couch for a rest and went to sleep. After lying there for over an hour Mrs. McKillor noticed that he had not changed his position in any way and attempted to awaken him, but was unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead when the doctor ar- rived a short time later. The late Dougald McKillop was born at Bristol, Quebec, on March 4. 1859, and spent his early years there, where he received his early education. He was married to Mary Emerson at .Arnprior 55 years ago this coming N'ovember and to them were born five L-hildren, two of whom are now living Ernest of Flesherton and Eva (Mrs. .Andrew Chercott) of Wallaceburg.

Duncan of town brought The Advance man a feed of green neas from his garden "- Tuesday o' this week. Of course the "feed" wn not a very extensive one. bn"- ' enough to bring back pleasant mem- ories of early summer and remem- brances of garden raids in childhood.

Fall Fertilizing is Aid to Pastures The value of the application of fer- tilizers in the fall to pastures anu alfalfa, and particularly to permanein pastures, is becoming more generallv recognized. The fertilizers used foi this purpose, being composed of phos- phates, and potashes, do not leech from winter snows and rains, and tht plant food they supply is ready to give the desired results with the first growth in the spring. Farther, the fall application is a saving of time Ui the spring when so many other farm operations demand attention. The application may be made either be- fore or after freeze-up. 'She specially balanced fertilizers for this purpose, recommended by th>- Provincial Fertilizer Boards, are 0-12- 0, 0-12-lU, 0-12-15, 0-10-t),0-16-10 and 0-16-12, 10 be applied at the rate of at least :J00 pounds per acre. It would be wasteful to apply a complete fertil- izer in the fall, that it, one contain- ing nitrogen in addition to the phos phoric acid and potash, as most of th<.- nitrogen would be- lost by leeching or ammoniation before plant growth had started in the spring.

McDonald Writes On Scottish Trips We are very pleased to publish a letter from .Mr. Sam McDonald, who is on the teachers' e.xchange and i.s teaching in Glasgow, Scotland. Sam .sent us a branch of heather plucked from the Royal grounds at Balmoral Castle. His letter is entertainingly written about what he has already seen in that land of lochs and glens. Following is his letter: Ocean Trip Sailing on the Duohiss of Bedford. August 22, we had a very fine cross- ing, with only one day, going down on the ship's log, as "rough." We had the good fortune to see a large ice- berg in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, which, while a considerable distance away from the boat, appeared a beautitful green colour in the sun- light. Another interestitng thing on our trip was a whale which was sighted quite near the ship. It came to the surface giving us a good idea of its oiiormous size. While on board we availed ourselves if the opportunity of visiting the en ginc rooms of the ship. The Dueh ess of Bedford, gross tonnage 20,123 tons is an oil burner, consuming 12- tons per day. The twin propelloi shafts are of solid steel and 18 inche- in diameter. They turn at the rale of 110 revolutions per minute undei full steam. The ship is divided into five water-tight compartments and we were shown how the doors between these could be closed almost instant- ly in case of emergency. Saturday morning, .Vug. 2S, Ire- land was first sighted and later in the afternoon the shores of both Ire- land and Scotland were close at hand. The gret-n fields rising from the a- brupt rocky shores presented one of the most beautiful sights I have evei seen. At last I had set eyes on "Bonnie"' Scotland, whence my fath- er's people had come some ninety years ago. At 7.30 p.m. the ship stopped in mid-stream in the Firth of Clyde and a tender took us ashore to Greenock. What a glorious fin^ling it was to set foot on terra firma once more. We soon cleare<l the customs ano were taken by special train to Cen- tral Station Glasgow. Our train ride was most interesting. The coaches have no centra! corridor, but are divided into compartments, once within a compartment you must re- main until your destination is reach- ed. Glasgow Though we have been in Glasgow one month we have yet many inter- esting places to visit. Glasgow i.-> Che second largest city in the British Isles and it is said that here and elsewhere along the Clyde dwell ap- j)ruxiniately one third of the popula- tion of Scotland. It is a friendly city ami the stranger is soon madi to feel at home. The month of September hiji,s beeir ciuite wet, in our opinion, with only a few days in which no rain has fallen. The weather may appear fine in the morning with rain falling in a f<-v hours. It does not. as a rule, la^: veiy long, and in many cases is clea.- 'd away in an hour or so. No doub 'iiis ac'-ounts for the green gra-* which anyone from Canada cannot fail to notice. My school is located in Knights- wood district, the western part of th? [ city. It is a new section only ter years old and wa.= built by the Cor- poration to solve the housing pro blem. It is one of the finest pare of the city, where everyone tak"- great pride in a flower garden and !• otherwise beautifying his home. Quit..- near th<> city, there have beer unearthed recently, graws which da' •ack to the stone age, about 5,00'^ veal's ago. This afternoon we visite<' the scene of one of the latest excava tions and listened to an archaeologis- explain what had been found, so far on the city of what was once a Prnl. t"mple, fifty-three graves have beei^ found and over 200 flint tools. It â- s thought that the temple was er- ected in honour of the sun god's triumph over darkness, during ar eclipse. Ifhese finds have been ac- cidental in nature. The Clyde River A cruise down the Clyde is inter- esting both from a scenic view point and the many interesting facts to bo learned about the river. It seems impossible to believe that where ocean liners now ply their way, the water at one time was in places bu; fifteen inches deep. In one case r stretch of rock 92.^ feet long with ts surface only eight feet below low water, was blasted to a depth of 2S Presented rtitii Gifts Late J. J. Fattison / (By Our Ceylon Correspondeiii) .Mr. and Mi.s. .Archie Sinclair weri' feted on Friday evening when fritna.s from Ceylon. Flesherton and neigh- boring communities met at their home prior to their going to Duntlalk where Mr. .Sinclair has been appointed C.P.U. agent. During the evening. Rev. Mr. Service read an address and Mrs. Muir and .Mrs. Hunt presented them with a beautiful 5-piece silver servic -. Mr. Sinclair made a very fitting reply expressing appreciation of the beauti- ful gift on behalf of himself and fam- ily.

So you can see the Clyde, as a navigable river, is man made. .A.long its banks are great .ship building yards, described by some writers as the eighth wonder of the world. During this week alone, sev- en ships have been launched. Here we saw the sister ship of the "Queen Mary" under construction; when it is finished it is said faster than any boat in the world. .A.t present, ii appears as a huge steel skeleton, and although higher than most ships. i.>- yet to receive twrt or three moro decks. From the boat one can see th Singer Sewing machine factory be- yond the ship yards, with its grea'. tower and clock. The tower is !:â-  i ft. high. The clock is 2S'-j feet in diameter, the minute hand i:i feet, the hour hand 8'-j feet and the figun-s l-\ ft. Farther down thi> river is Dunbai ton Rock, famous m Scolt'sh history, it is about one mile in circumferenc- and about .iOn fe.'t hiirii. The east walls and fortification; can be sect from the boat. .A few miles faith down the liver is ("ardoss CastU' where King Robert The Bruce died ii 1329. Our trip included a call at K chesa, where we saw the last yacht r. '."e the year, and through the Kyk ; o Bute. Bute is an island in the Fi;-th of Clyde and Kyles are a series i narrow channels separating it fron the mainland. Scottish music 1). th( ship's orchestra made this part of tht cruise a most memorable one. Loch Lomond and Scott Country On Saturday, Sept. 12, we made a circular tour of the Tjossachs made famous by Sir Walter Scott in hi WTitings and fre<iuently called thi Scott Country. Tlhe drive took us to Loch Lomond, the queen of Scot- tish Lochs, where the hills sweep down to the water, with Ben Lomond .'5.102 (by Uur Ceylon Correspondent) litait lelt sympathy was felt for the family and relatives of the late J. J. Pattison, whose sudden death at St. Catherines last Tuesday cast a gloom over a wiile circle of friends. Nj details were at hand last week and it was undei'stood J. J. had beea electrocuted, but such was not tin case. For the past three months J. J. had been employed by General Motors of St. Catherines in the con- struction of electric furnaces for their new plant. Deep round holes are dug and filled with cement in the center of which is an iron pipe. J. J. w<uking on a night shift, had left his work to go for further supplies. Through some carelessness these pits were left without guard or light and deceased walked into one, the piping penetrating both the abdomen and liver. He was rushed to St. Catherines hospital where an emerg- ency operation was performed, but died during the operation. J. J. was 41 years of age, the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Pattison of Toronto and Ceylon. He attended school and grew up in this community where he was a very likeable boy and highly esteemed by all. In 1914 he answered his country's call, returning disabled, just when the Armistice was signed. He has been employed at various jobs since his recovery, but the last three months has been in St. ''atherines with General Motors. He is survived by his widow, one daughter. Patricia and one son.

Passing on from Loch Lomond to Crainlarich. we saw many crofts or small farms where sheep raising is the main occupation of the people. The crofts are surrounded by a stoiu? wall called a dry stone dyke, built in many cases up very steep hillsides and rep "senting much labour. The next place of interest was Kil- lin. On "he southern end of Loch Toy. Here w saw the burying place of the clan McNab. Our ne.xt stop was at BaKiuidder the burial pl«c if Rob Roy Mac- Gregor, 'le fa nous outlaw.
