This is surely an economic crime. He took in his hand a much frayed and worn Canada fiveucent piece. The inscription had- gone, it was worn to a shadow and it was altogether a most disreputable piece of coinage. “You use this,” he said,‘ “in your coinage, when you have in your mines at Sudâ€" .bury at first hand» the best material in the world for a good medium in the smaller values.” There seems to be no answer to the riddle. From the ores of Sudbury al- most all the nations of the earth ob- tain mateai'el for their currencyâ€"ex- cept Canada. The United States use it, a nickel in the land of Stars and Stripes is in fact a household word to signify five cents, the French utilize it in their franc, the Germans employ it, but the Canadian would rather handle the diminutive five-cent silver piece than employ the Sudbury ore to make a nickel coinage. It is one of tho:e things that no fellow can understand. There is nothing in the way of it but apathy on the part of the Dominion Government.

The fall fair season, which opens with the great Canadian National Exhibition at Toronto, will soon be in full swing. The Toronto fair promises tube a record breaker in every respect, and it is to he hoped all the other fairs throughout the country will 'keep up the pace. The farmers, or the townspeople either, but especially the farmers, of any commun- ity, should not need to be urged to become members of their nearest agri- cultural society, and if at all possible make exhibits at their local fair. It is .safe to say that the membership ofpany of the smaller associations is not more than half what it should be and could be if a proper degree of interest were taken. If every farmer who is a non-member could be covinccd that that the reason any particular fair is not larger than it is, or the prizes not more substantial, is because he himself does not help, there might soon be a change for the better. Those who are members and attend and exhibit and work are responsible for making a fair as good as it is. Twice the membership would make it twice as good, perhaps more than twice, for the olliccrs and every one connected with it would feel encouraged to exert their best efforts. The Fenclon {Agricultural Society’s fair will be held this year on the same dates as last year, September 10th and 11th. Last season’s extreme lateness militated against the success of the fair. This year‘s harvest is earlier than usual, and there should be nothing to prevent a record turnout. The Fire Damage In Haliburton. Minden Echo :â€"â€"During the past few days we made enquiry as to the extent of the bush fires in this county, and were fortunate enough to meet people who could tell from their own personal observation. The Digby fire reached the settlement at Moores’ Falls, creeping on its way towards Norland. Another branch of the same fire came out toward the neighbourhood north of Deep Bay, Gull Lake. To head this off, one of the settlers started a fire near his clearing, which for a time threatened to do more damage than the big fire. However, no buildings were burned except an old barn. Another fire which came through from Longsford township, destroyed all the beaver hay west of the South Line neighborhood. 4 In Stanhope, the hills north of Maple Lake have been swept, but no damage except to the timber has been reported. The Snowdon township fire has practi- cally swept over the entire lumbering district, from the Lochlin and Golert neighborhoods to Irondale and vicinity of Goodenham. It has also crossed the Irondale road and burned its way down towards the Three Brothers back of the Furnace Falls neighborhood. In this fire Mr. Arthur Graham lost some two hundered cords of wood. So far, we have heard of no one being burnt out, fireguards having been ploughed in the fields. But the regret- table feature is that so much territory has been burned over, destroying the young timber in these lumbered out dis- tricts, in many places burning through groves of young pines that had already reached a diameter of a foot or more, requiring many years of conservation to replace. a- Missionary Institute at Lindsay, A Missionary Institute will be held in Lindsay on Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 22 and ,23, 1913, under the direction of prominent missionary leaders connected with the “Missionary Educational Move- ment,” formerly the “ Young People’s Missionary Movement." This movement . is inter-denominational in character, .not, however, in the sense of being a Separate, distinct organization; but, rather, inns-denominational, in that it 'is the union of all the denominational Missionary Boards in the creating and diffusing of an intelligent missionary interest. ‘ Its purpose is to assist in the mission- ary education in the Churches by train- ing leaders at Conferences and Educa- tional Institutes, to! promote giving, to foster prayer for missions and to enlist young men and women in missionary service as a life work. Its field is the Sunday School, Young People's Societies, Adult Bible Classes and other organizations of young men and women, and the large army of un- organized men and women of the Churches. ’ The Institute is considered a very effective agency for miSsionary educa- tion and inspiration. It consists of a. programme composed of mission study classes, public addresses on missions and discussion of missionary organiza- tion, methods and service. The aims of the Institute are. to bring the largest possible spiritual uplift to I each community, to enlist young people in a campaign of mission study, to introduce wise plans of missionary edu- cation in Sunday Schools, to promote the practice of systematic giving to missions, to emphasize prayer as a mis- sionary force, to present the opportuni- ties for» Christian service as a life. work. and to aid the local church by increasing the efficiency of every missionary work- er. Will you not try to send as many delegates as possible ? Programmes will be forwarded to out- side points as soon as possible. 0-. The Independent Order of Oddfell'ows 5 at the annual session of the Grand Lodge of Quebec introduced a new clause in the constitution providing that no hotel- keeper selling spirituous liquors could be received as an Oddfollow.

The work so far accomplished in connection with the new darn has, strict-- ly speaking, berm preparatory, unless the drilling of holes in the rock for blasting outa trench maybe excepted. The water was shut off the middle section above the falls some days ago and the old dam blown up with dyna-. mite, several very heavy charges being necessary. There has only been a com- paratively small force of men engaged so for, but a gang of Italians is expected any day, and a building has been put up for them south of the Lindsay power house. There is a 1 lot of rubbish to clear away and other preliminary work to be done before real construction commences. ' 0-.”â€" Drowned at Ball Point. A drowning accident occurred at Ball Point ‘on Tuesday afternoon,when George Westaway. the seven year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Byron Westaway, was drowned while engaged in helping an- other boy, Howard “’illiamson, aged about fourteen years, to draw water from the lake. The two lads were back- ing a horse and rig into the water, when one of the hind wheels struck a stump, throwing the boys off. Neither of them could swim. Williamson, however, man- aged to get out again, but \Vestawny was unable to do 30. Drs. H. H. and G. Graham were summoned, and a doctor from Sturgeon Point was also present, but too great a time had elapsed for their services to be of any avail. Great sympathy is felt for Mr. and Mrs. \V’csb away in their bereavement. -0 Winners in Field Crop Competition.
