Notwithstanding the bloodless character of the Fenian Raid, as com= pared with the terrible struggle thay has just closed in Europe, there wag really more excitement in 'Goderich and surrounding country in 1866 thafi there was in 1914. There was the chance "that Goderich itself might be an objective of the invaders, and warlike preparations were made accordingly, says Wm, Swaffield in the Toronto Star Weekly. For about six weeks after the com- mencement of hostilities in 1866 business of all kinds in Goderich and its surroundings was-at a standstill. I well remember when I donned the badge of Home Guard and night and day tramped up and down to the harbor, 'where trouble might first 'have been expected if the invader reached our shores. The garrison consisted of an artillery company, a rifle. company and an infantry 'com- pany, and these were reinforced by the "fighting Irishmen" from God- erich- Township and the adjoining country. The Hand bakery, present Park House, was taken over as the guard-room, and rifie pits were | constructed along the lake bank, op- posite the residence now occupied by G. M. Elliott. The pits had men sta- tioned in them at all times, night and day. Down below on the docks bar- rels of salt were utilized to make a "battery," and every precaution of defence was taken. x They were all ready to shoot, when the look-outs announced that a steamer had been sighted on the lake. Excitement prevailed, and the men of the garrison at the harbor and the riflemen on the bank pre- pared for action. The vessel loomed larger and headed for the harbor. On she came, until directly under the guns of the garrison. Not a sign from her masthead or her decks to indicate whether she was friend or foe, and with the utmost bravado she reached the inner basin. Then, when another moment might have meant her destruction, she un- furled the American flag. It turned out to be the United States Govern- ment ship Michigan with Gen. Sher- man aboard. The posting of: sentries along thelf lake bank was continued after this incident. I was with a company which had a post farther around the lake bank than the present Hotel Sunset. One morning about day- break a groundhog or some such animal startled a sentry as it moved along the bank, and the sentry shot it, alarming the rest of the guard. At one time word that the enemy had left Chicago, en route to God- erich. At another time it was given out that a number of vessels had left Port Huron for Goderich. The news spread like wildfire. As I was ac- quainted with places along the lake shore where an attempt might be made to land, I started out in the night with John Campbell to warn] the settlers alohg the lake shore, They in turn warned other residents! along the Bayfield road. About this? time horsemen were put on duty be-| 'tween Goderich and Bayfield, and in- fantrymen with rifles tramped along the Bayfield road to meet the eremy. Not all of them had rifles. It was reported that one of the recruits had joined the company as it marched along, his only weapon being a pitch- fork. , : Sme of: the people went through experiences like those of the refu- gees in Europe, and the few survi- vors of those times know how to feel for war sufferers. One man took his cow and his bed, hoisted his bed_on his back, and led the cow to the highlands of Colborne Township. An-| other man between Goderich and Bayfield made a, supply of pancakes by way of an "iron ration' and.teok these with him to the safe shelte: of a hollow log. One farmer buried his new stove, his most treasured possession, 'lest it be broken by the invaders. Many others buried thei valuables. a . Oxygen for Fliers. © At high levels, such as birdmen nowadays often reach, the air is so thin that the aviator literally "loses his breath." He is in danger of col- lapse from this cause. : It was ascbrtained during the war, though not at #rst suspected, that about 15 percent. of the candidates who passed examination for the air service were really- unable to fly at altitudes ordinarily requisite in the work they were required to perform. It was, further determined that more than 60 per cent. of them could an flight at extremely high levels. But, on the other hand, cer- tain picked men, perhaps seven or eight out of 100 passed candidates, were able to ascend to the greatest elevations without peril. i - To help in solving this important war problem an oxygen apparatus was developed, smaller than the kind used for mine-rescue work, but con- structed on much the same principle. Equipped with this contrivance, and carrying a supply of liquid oxygen along with him, the aviator could skim along in safety through the up- per reaches of the welkin. : Vet. Could Tell Him. A member of Parliament called another an ass in the sacred precincts of the House. Unparliamentary lan- guage being forbidden, the offending M.P: had to apologize and withdraw his statement. He didn't like doing it. "I withdraw," he said very. stiff- ly; "but I. maintain that the honor- able member is out of order." "How am I out of order?" asked the other man heatedly. 'Probably a 'veterins ary surgeon could tell you," was the retort, Not So Dull for Prince. In Western Canada they are tell fing this story about the Prince of. Wales. Some one was complimenting 'him upon the fact that he ad set up his own bachelor establishment in London, rn Sebi opposite the : 6th. s Puff Creams, Aero Creams, ve Marshmallow Chocolate Empire, 65¢c per th Cocoanut Macaroni, 65c per th sil; e026 %% 'Three Reaso 4; ¢ ; Ist.

Es mi Letter to Seed Growers Le -- The following letter has been sent out from the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture, Toronto: ; be May 2nd, 1920 Dear Sir, ; a A hundred carloads, at least, of Northern Ontario certified seed potatoes have been ordered since last harvest in excess of the avail able supply. There would seem. but slight possibility that this great demand would not constant- ly increase. In short, there exists already a profitable market for all the certified Northern Ontario seed potatoes that are lfkely to be grown, and it would be a matter of common business sense to de- velop the industry as quickly as possible until Northern Ontario becomes one o fthe greatest seed potato centres on the continent. I trust, therefore, that you will make provision to grow an ample acreage of see this year/from the certified seed you have on hand from last year's crop. Arrange ments have been made for your crop to be inspected at blossoming time and again after the potatoes are dug, as they were last year. This inspection is given free of charge by the Federal Division of 'Botany, experiental farm, Ottawa, in co-operation with the Ontario Dept. of Agriculture, Toronto. Ir order to secure this inspection, however, you must send in your name to D. Frejd, local represen: tative, or to Chas. Norgate, not later than June 23rd. As you can readily understand, it is not pos- sible for the inspectors to visit each farmer in the North to learn whether or not he wishes inspec-] tion. The season is short and our inspectors few--therefore they must know ahead of time exactly whom to visit, Please don not negiect this matter; sénd in your application at once. i JUSTUS MILLER, ES [=~ The Council of 7 Ta Machin Town- ship "met at the schoolhouse Eagle River as a court of revision on Saturday last All members ! were present. ; iT Appeals-- a D.
