TAKE NOTICE Another weather prophet has ap- peared on the scene one who, it seems, is bound to make himself heard 'dote by foretelling dire calamities o befal this continent during the summer of 1924. Jle says the coming summer will be one of famine equal to that which overwhelmed Russia a few years ago, with no rainfall and great heat. Everything is to dry up. This prophet is a gloomy cuss, h he not? Why don't he keep his his mouth shut ? Why does he want to scare us stiff in this manner? What is his object, anyway? Does he think he is a modern Joseph to save us Canadians in the same manner that Egypt was saved? He might at least have given us the seven years of plenty, as Joseph did, in order that We might have our granaries full. Now we cannot grow any extra grain or dry up any potatoes or pumpkins to eke out our terrible ex- perience. * A man who would consign us to the horrors of a famine such as he predicts, without recourse to any life-saving expedient, deserves the execration of humanity. It ought to be a case for the K. K. K. to in- vestigate. too many people and ought to be put out of business. Another man says if things, that kill are to be put out of business, what about Ford cats? Henry has the summing up of this debate. A doctor who went through the war says tobacco is an absolute anti- against many contagious dis- eases un^gp deady to the microbe. A lady of our acquaintance replies to this to the effect that her hus- band must be a big microbe. The husband has the last say in this discussion.

Show 8 p.m. The present agitation to remove the burden of county-provincial highways from the counties to the province is evidence of the foolish policy pursued by Hon. F. C. Biggs in promoting his highway improvement development. The spending of money to secure the benefit of a grant is an altogether - i/-,r.

But that is what Biggs did; and it is what is still being done in many circles. Tbe counties were only too glad to have the roads; they were anxious to have the Provincial grants; now they want the Department to take over the entire cost of these roads; and so, Oliver Twist plays a return engagement, but instead of de- manding more, wants to give the stomach away and havo it permanent- ly located in the porridpe pot. If the road expenditures are burd- ensome; if they mean high taxes, anil attending ills, then by all means let us sales promptly attended to satisfacion guaranteed.

The fur buyer was intimating that Mrs. Goldman knew something of the furs. This Mrs. Goldman flatly denies. The second chapter of this burglary story had a change of scene. Woonch didn't stay at Goldman's any more but ! went over to stay at I. Tinianov's, the other Jewish fur dealer in town. He bought the letter's stock of mink numbering 18i) pelts for which he | tendered a cheque on a Toronto bank for $2,000, signed by Isaac Fisher and M. Woonsch. The deal was to be completed Monday when the cheque would be verified by the bank.

As BOOH as his letter arrived, the merchant in the north telegraphed for a carload of the New Brunswick potatoes. This is not n condition that the- fann- ers of this Province can afford to allow to continue. Just as good potatoes can bp, and are, grown in East Simcoc as in any part, of New Brunswick. But the farmers down by the sea have learned the advantage of grading and keeping varieties sep- arate. For potatoes of uniform size and of one variety consumers are prepared to pay more than for lings made up of all sizes from marbles to . i i i one pounders, and of several varieties Children 9 tickets have been reduced, so with differing characteristics.. The uniform potatoes will cook much better. The Farmers' Clubs in this district could do^heir members a real service by discussing this subject, and coming to an understanding as to the best variety to be grown in each neighborhood and sticking to it.
