Thurston & Son, Publishers TOURIST SEASON NOW IN FULL SWING Wiile the real swing into the summer holiday season does not us- ually get under way until after July 1st owing to the fact that the schools remain in operation up to that time, there is already a large influx of tourists at many sumraicr resorts in this district, and it is more than probable that after the first of the month it will be next to impossible to find an empty cottage. It is reported from the Manitoulin Island that already the most of the cottages are occupied, and with very few exceptions by American tour- ists, the majority of whom own their own cottages there. Some come iarlji because of business reasons and there are any number of instan- ces of cottages being owned jointly by two or three families, each of which take their turn in occupancy, thus making use of the cottage dur- ing the entire summer. This condi- tion also prevails in the Bruce pen- insula and along the shores of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. All this is an indication of what might be expected under more nor- mal conditions, particularly with re- gard to visitors from the United States. It must he remembered that the peo.ple of that country are still engaged right up to the hilt in their war effort against the Japanese, which means that they are not as free for vacations as they otherwise might be. It is not difficult, there- fore to visualize what is likely to take place in the future, and Can- ada and Ontario should be prepared to take care of this, the largest in- dustry outsidie of farming, in the country. There are still many com- munities in Ontario which have not fully comprehended the possibilities of the tourist business, but which possess many natural advantages which need only to be developed. The time to prepare for the over- due expansion of the tourist busi- ness jn this country is the present. â€" Owen Sound Sun Times.

An Old Prophecy (Dundalk Herald) James Inkster of Dundalk showed The Herald the following interes'ting prophecy, published in the Oracdian, which is printed in his native Islands. These lines are at least ,3'i3 years old and are copied from a tombstone, dated 1642, in Kempbie churchyard, Essex^ When pictures look alive, with move- ments free; i When ships, like fishes, sail beneath the sea; When men, outstripping birds, can span the sky. Then half the world, deep drenched in blood, shall die. Over 10,000 copies of the new tel- ephone directory for Owen Sound, Fles'herton, and vicinity were dropp- ed in the mail this week. Abotu 300 of them are being distributed to subscribers in this community. Among the names with the most listings in the Owen Sound section, the leaders are the Browns, followed by the Taylors and Wilsons. In the Flesherton section, t'o are no outstanding names, thus mak- ing it easier to avoid calling the wrong Mr. Brown. According to G. H. Houston, Bell Telephone manager^n this area, the new book contains about 2,300 list- ings new and changed from those of the last issue, including a number in the Flesherton section. "To conserve paper in wartime, directories are now issued at less frequent intervals than in former years, so that it is important to con- sult the new directory carefullv be- fore placing calls, and to bring desk lists and memo pads up to date," Mr. Houston said. "Avoiding unneces- sary calls to wrong nunvbers helps us to serve you better, despite war- time difficulties." It is hoped that on receiving the new books, telephone users will con- tribute the old ones to the regular salvage collection, paper being still in great demand.

Many rivers have overflowed their banks, resembling the spring freshets. High winds have flattened spring grain and liay crops and the making of hay has been greatly re- tarded.

T famous falls were back to their ol(; time beauty and the river in the gorge below the falls was a mass of white tumbling water as it roared over the great holders in the river bed. One wonders why the Hydro authorities allow the water to flow over the top of the dam, as the cement has become w"rr. with the action of the water and in places tBy Eugenia Reporter) Mr. Jacob Williams of Eugenia, on Monday, July 16 completed his 60th year iii tue blacksmith iusi- ness.

WANT OF WATER .MEANS LESS EGGS Water for hens is an important It- em in es. ; production, particularly during hot weather. Hens require an abundance of clean, fresh water be- fore them at all time*, and especially at layina: time â€" the early morning and afternoon. Hens have no sweat glands.

In disgust, she removed the chicken and sent its' mother back to the pen to lay eggs while the orphan was siven to a duck. The duck, how- over, would have none of it and in desperation the lady cast her eye on a rabbit whose mate had died, and it was- not even a mother rabbit at that. What was her surprise to find that the combination worked perfectly. The chicken snuggles up to the rabbit at night and finds fur an excellent su'bstitut<' for feathers. It eats its meals in neace and amity with its four legged protector and sits comfortably on its back in be- tween meals, .\ltogether it has proved a perfect though unusual sol- ution.
