autumn months acton like other centres has had its usual quota of home- comers many of them have not visited the home town for some years changeabout the town are therefore more noticeable to them than to those who live here and those who visit often invariably in conversation with these homecomers they mention quite often the feeling that acton has kept pace and its buildings and improvements show that the town is advancing naturally thisis gra1tfyingtothqse who reside here and have chosen to remain in the home town the progress of a community is strictly up to its individuals and to know that these in dividuals have done the duties ascribed as citizens gives an incentive for further effort the law wins again the measure of success that has apparently climaxed the efforts of the police in tracking down at least one of the principals inthe lindbergh babe kidnapping case is another example that sooner or later the criminal is captured no doubt after over two years the kidnapper was feeling a certain sense of security and that the crime would never be solved persistance and alertness has apparently won again the method of handling the criminal in the courts of the republic will now be watched with a great deal of interest on the final outcome of the matter will restntuch that will have to do with crime and its growth individuals with criminal minds will watch for the measure of punishment given out on the decision and handling of the case their minds will be made up if it is shown that the long arm of the law always wins out and that culprits are always brought to justice a big step will be made in the suppression of crime here is an opportunity for restoring a sense of security in the minds of the public and a fear in the minds of the lawbreakers just an incentive twentyone years ago acton fair started on its course with many misgivings but high ambitions through the years ifs upbuilding in the community by the citizens of town and country have made it an institution of which all are justly proud the suc cess attending the event last week was but another rung ascended in looking back over the files it is noted that the gate receipts oftwenty years ago were not quite half as large as those of today the receipts of the evening performance were fifteen times larger than those of twenty years ago but the fair never was and is not now run as an institution for financial gain the money collected in admis sions fees and much more is paid out in prizes and for attractions the success of twenty years ago spurred on the directors to provide bigger andbetter fall fairs at acton the sariie thing holds todav and the success of last weekwill enable the direc tors of next year to aim for a program of more merit and a fair of larger dimensions in 1935 it has never gotten into a rut and the success of this year can be nothing but an incentive for greater fairs in the years to come ontario business reporting business conditions in ontario the

wish to find out ll rain is coming these arid lands have no surface water and the necessary liquid fc secured from artesian wells drilled through hundreds of feet of basaltic rock to the underlying gravel when the weather is settled these wells are quiet but on the approach of 6torms strong air currents are driven off from the underground openings in this way the wells provide accurate natural baro meters for the ranchers what feally happens is that the atmospheric pressure decreases in the region causing a low pressure area a term frequently used by the weather experts this is always associated with rainy conditions the atmospheric pressure in these deep oregon wells is ordinarily the same as that on the surface but when a low pressure appears at the surface the air in the well is then at a higher pressure the high pressure air of the well then rushes out into the upper air until the pressure is equalized anyone placing his ear close to one of these well open ings will hear a strong hissing noise and sometimes feel a distinct rush of air against the face at such times a piece of paper placed over the opening will be blown up to some height in the air the more pronounced this uprush of air the sooner and more severe will be the storai the ranchers in these parched regions love to hear the hissing of the wells for they know that this means rain and plenty of green grass to feed the cattle youre good for something in this world for service of some kind to your fellow men or youre good for nothing dr reisner the bees food supply for winter editorial notes the daylight saving nuisance ends on saturday until next april or may most folks will agree that is something for which to be thankful it scarcely seems possible that thanksgiving day is but a week from monday just another reminder that fall is here and winter just around the corner if the driver of horsedrawn vehicles would realize the danger they are in none of these vehicles would be on the road at night without lights this is especially true at this time of year when fogs are heavy the mail and empire makes rather a serious charge when it states that four of the five bye- elections were won with money and catch cries its lather an insult to the intelligence of the voters in these ridings the byeelections in the dominion field are over and it would seem that the liberals could claim the decision the popularity and victory of tommy church ir toronto fs also an endorsation of the upright stand that he has taken as an individual in spite of the dictates of party once again the honey gathering season is over and during that season the bee worked incessantly storing a good supoly of food to carry them through the non- gathering period of winter the bees instinct however does not allow them to cease work the moment a sufficient amount for winter needs is gathered for if the field supply is plentiful they will store far in excess of their requirements to this surplus the keeper of the bee has a legitimate claim but he has no right to that portion required by the bees for their own use unless he is pre pared to replace it with another kind of food that is equally as good for them unfortunately there is a tendancy to rob the bees too closely of then- supplier thus leaving them to face death through starvation bees require feed during the winter months m order to maintain life while in the early spring they require it for brood rearing also vtnen ready for tile winter every colony should have at least forty pounds of food stored in order that the bees may have sufficient to carry them through until new nectar is available the following spring always remembering that more is required to wards spring when brood rearing com mences than during the actual winter months when no brood is being produc ed in addition to an adequate supply the food left or given must be whole some although honey is the natural food for the bees all honey is not suit able for them during their winter con finement hi the hives only the best of clover or buckwheat honey should be left falling this any deficiency can be made up by feeding the bees the requir ed amount of pure cane sugar made into syrup at the rate of two parts ot sugar to one part of water when making the syrup see that all crystals of sugar are dissolved before giving the syrup to the bees all feeding should be done before the weather becomes cold enough to cause the bees to cluster tightly on their combs otherwise they will not take down sufficient for their needs at ottawa it has been found best to have
