Page Four THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 12th, 1927 LAYERS THAT LAY! If you desire hens that lay and keep YOU instead of you keeping hens, you should buy either hatching eggs, baby chicks or six-week-old pullets from our trap-nested, heavy laying S. C. White Leghorns that we have systematically culled and bred for the past six years to give the desired results, i. e., a full egg basket the year round. It will be a sound investment at good interest.. Do not delay as we have only a very limited quantity left for disposal before the season closes, so we would advise ordering at once before it is too late.

PAL EN Recommended by g M pjJRDY Colborne Castleton fi ere an dTH, ere Reports received by the Provincial Department of Agriculture indicate that the crop acreage this year will be much larger than last year. Some of the estimates show as much as 600,000 acres in advance of 1926. Roger Babson, noted statistician, in addressing the Canadian Club of Toronto, said that in 25 years time Vancouver would be the greatest port on the American Pacific coast and that it was only a matter of time before the trade across the Pacific Ocean would equal, if not exceed, that of the Atlantic. It is announced by the Hon. W. R. Motherwell, Minister of Agriculture, that a contract had been entered into with the Nova Scotia Public Fish Cold Storage Terminals, Limited, at Halifax, respecting the construction and e<niipment of a modern cold storage plant at Halifax, to be completed about November 1st, 1928. t It has been officially announced that the Canadian Pacific Railway will operate the Hereford Railway which extends in Quebec from Lime Ridge to the United States boundary, passing through several Eastern Townships, including Cookshire, Sawyerville, Malvina and down to Paquette. This line' has not been operated since November, 1925. Heirs to the thrones of Great Britain and Spain will vie with each other at the World's Poultry Congress to be held at Ottawa July 27 to August 4. H.R.H. the Prince of Wales will exhibit some live birds from his farm in Cornwall, England. Now word is received that H.R.H. the Prince of Asturias, heir to the Spanish throne, will exhibit some fowl from his own poultry farm. Over 1,000 members of the parish of St. Aidan's Church, New Jersey, journeyed to Montreal over the Canadian Pacific lines on Easter Monday to visit the famous Oratory of St. Joseph. The visit was in the nature of an act of thanksgiving for the miraculous cure last year of their pastor, Rev. Father Roger McGinley. Father McGinley had been suffering from heart trouble for some years preventing his enterics the pulpit. Following a visit to Brother Andre, however, in Montreal, his condition improved almost instantaneously. Within a few days he was able to address his flock. - « Passengers on the Canadian Pacific flagship "Empress of Scotland," now completing a world cruise, visited the ruins of the site of the old city of Panama destroyed in 1671 by Sir Henry Morgan, the famous English pirate. The ruins have come into the limelight recently on account of the fact that treasures valued at over ?50,000 have been discovered by a young English fortune hunter, Lieutenant George Williams. The discovery, which was made by means of a delicate viol«t ray detecting instrument of his own invention, consisted of gold Church ornaments, gold dust and jewels. The delicate instrument still indicates that larger treasures exist at this site. Completing a journey of over 30,-000 miles during which the entire globe was circled, the Canadian Pacific flagship "Empress of Scotland" docked at New York recently. Over 400 passengers disembarked laden with every imaginable kind of souvenir from every country. The ship carried back the first refugees to America from the war zones of China in the persons of Mrs. Melvin Southwick and her young baby, who were forced, through Chinese disorders, to board a tramp steamer for Kobe, where they were picked up by the "Empress of Scotland." Mrs. Southwick's husband is an official of the Standard Oil Company at Hankow. During the great cruise of the "Empress of Scotland" she visited about 20 countries and anchored in over 25 world ports. THE BOOTLEGGING INDUSTRY Prohibitionists of Ontario now have it from, the lips of a bootlegger himself that, his trade in illicit liquor amounts to $300,000 and $400,000 a month, or nearly $5,000,000 a year.

Among them their yearly triffic bill must have amounted to to a hundred millions year, but prior to the bootlegger' admissions prohibitionists eoul not be got to admit that that was th situation which had sprung up under their infamous Ontario Temperance Act.
