BSth Year THE COLBORNE EXPRESS THURSDAY, JULY 21st, 1921 $2.00 a Year in Advance JAS. H. NEWCOMB DIES d and Respaoted Amenia Citiz Passe On • From a North Dakota paper! The death of James W. Newcomb, which occurred at his home at Amenia. N.Da., on the 16th inst , removes from the Northwest one of the oidest and best known grain man. Mr. Newcomb was born at New-comb's Mills, Feb. 10th, 1836, so tnat he was over 85 years old at the time of his death. His father being a miller, Mr. Newcomb learned business in his boyhood, and carried to his death the blue marks back of his hand caused from picking and dressing the old-fashioned mill stones--the trademark of the old miller. He came to Duluth in 1881, and was for some time Chief Deputy In-1 there under T. A. Olmstead, Chief Inspector for the Duluth Board of Trade, this being before the day of state inspection. After several years at Duluth he took charge of el. pr tor at Mayville, N. Dak., and in 18! 2 came to Amenia, and has been continuously in the employ of The Amenia and Sharon Land Co. as its Chief Inspector. He was considered one of the most sluliiul grain men in the Northwest, and had a wide acquaintance both in the country and at Terminals. During the time The A. & S. Land Co. operated elevator "R" at Superior Mr. Newcomb was in charge of^hat riant, but returned to Amenia when it was sold. He gained to a very large degree the confidence of the farmers in his vicinity, and it was seldom that his judgment was questioned as to the grade or quality of grain. It was his ambition to stand in the front rank of his profession, and it may well be said that this ambition was fully realized. Many of the elevator managers of the Northwest made their start under his lage. Mr. Newcomb is survived by widow and five children, Walter Newcomb of the GIoo<- Elevator Co. "f Duluth. Lewis H. Newcomb of The First National Bank of Hibbing, Mrs. Orser of Codrington, Ont., and F. H. Newcomb and Mrs. E. T. Nelson of Amenia. Surviving brothers and sisters are Joseph Newcomb, a veteran grain man of Duluth, Charles Newcomb of Seattle, Mrs. Gordon of Toronto and Mrs. M. Dudley of Dundon-" aid, Ontario. Funeral services were held last Sat- the friends of deceased. Rev. W. Baker officiated and S. 3. West Casselton was in charge. Interment was made at the Amenia COLD STORAGE PLANT FOR APPLES Ontario Government Purchases Warehouse at Brighton The Ontario Government has purchased an apple storage warehouse at Brighton and is fitting it up for the pre-cooling and cold storage of fruit. Brighton is the centre of the largest apple producing district in Ontario. About 60 per cent of the apples of the province are grown in Northumberland, Durham and Prince Edward counties. It is expected that the new cold storage will be ready for the fall apple crop. This is a move in the right direction as it will furnish facilities for the proper cooling of fruit before it is forwarded to the market The weak point in the fruit growing iness in Ontario is the want of proper marketing arrangements. Ontario apples beat the world for flavor. But more attention must be given to cooling, sorting and packing if the confidence of the buying public is secured. Unfortunately Ontario apples have not a good reputation in our Canadian west and it is only too true that this reputation has been fairly earned. Many carelessly packed apples of poor quality have been put on the market. The west-buyer has learned that he cannot depend on Ontario apples, therefore he takes no chances. He buys British Columbia apples, wrapped and boxed, and pays a good price for them . The Ontario government is moving on the right lines when it to improve marketing condit ions, for the apple growers of this district. The plant at Brighton is only a beginning, however. if the industry is to be really put on its feet, cooling plants should be erected in every apple producing centre.

"In the battle of Vimy Ridge, the initial engagement in the battle of Arras, 1917, the Canadians for the first time in the war employed their whole force. Up to that time they had operated in scattered units, but in the fierce fighting for Arras, which began on April 9, 1917, their entire force, consisting of four splendid divisions, was in position, facing the historic Vimy Ridge, with the 51st British Division on the right and the 4th British Division on their left. Their front covered a line from the southern end of the ridge to the Souchez River. By the impetuosity of their sault the Canadian divisions c whelmed three lines of German trenches, including the well-known position of LaFoli Farm, cleared the summit of the ridge itself, and established a line far down on the other slope, going well beyond their jective. They suffered heavy ualties and captured between 3,000 and 4,000 prisoners". r t,o ESCAPED FROM "FERRYVIEW" >rdoi Stewait, who about a year was sentenced for theft of cloth-etc. from houses in this vicinity, is again been in trouble and was ntenced to a year's imprisonment r a similer offence.

IRA EDWARDS Cobourg .Citizens' Band In Victoria Park, Colborne The Cobourg Citizens' Band, under the able leadership "CAPT. G. E. HURT Will render an EXCELLENT PROGRAMME OF MUSIC --in our-- VICTORIA PARK Thursday, July 28th, 1921 gements are fast being completed at the Parliament Buildings forcement about October 1 of the radical changes in Ontario's Marriage Act, enacted at the last session of the Legislature. un or about that date the privilege of issuing marriage licenses is to be taken out of the hands of the * jewelers, who have so long held it. and vested with Municipal Clerks. And a provision well known, is that only duly registered clergymen of recognized denominations may legally perform marriage ceremony. Heads of the larger. Church de-ominations have already sent in to the Provincial Department of Health •egistration a lis^ or their ministers throughout the Province. The imperativeness of Church heads attending to registration proceedings is pointed out by Dr. J. W. S. Mc-Cullough, who reminded The Globe iterday that there is a penalty clause in the new amendment which provides that "any person not reg-:red and certified by the Provincial Secretary who solemnizes or undertakes to solemnize any marriage shall incur a penalty of $500, and also hall be liable to imprisonment for my term not exceeding twelve months". ill Cut off Many Ministers Undoubtedly the new provisions in the act will prohibit from performing lTe7n~permiUed to offiwaTe"" 'BMtfe Confederation the original Marriage 4ct gave ministers of all recognized denominations the right to marry. This law gave the right to the Anglicans Baptists, Congregationalists, Jews, Methodists, Presbyterians and Roman Catholics. Since then, by the of Legislature, there have been >d to the list the Salvation Army Disciples of Christ, Farrington Independents, Society of Friends, and the Brothers. According to the general understanding of the act as now-constituted ministers of other denominations cannot comply with the ■egistration order and cannot hereafter perform marriages. All such ministers should find out where they stand under the new act before attempting to perform the marriage ceremony. Section 2 of the amendments passe* last session gives power'to the Provincial Secretary to issue to ministerial applicants or Church authorities a their behalf, certificates of regulation, and stipulates that, where It apparent that any person registered as ceased to possess the qualifications entitling him to be registered, he may annul such registration and • his authority to perform marriages. Extends Rights to Clergywomen. Section 3 of the amendment, by eliminating just two words, extends ight to perform marriages to properly ordained clergywomen Section 4 vests with the Clerk ot ry city, town and incorporated a^e and every Police Magistrate irg' jurisdiction in territory without municipal organization, the right marriage licenses. Section G permits such duly appointed issuer ) appoint deputy or deputies to act >r him a provision needed in the ise of' larger municipalities. Sect-,n 9 places the license fee at ?o, or ■hlch sum $4 is to be remitted to the Provincial Treasurer and the of $1 retained by the issuer or ty issuer.
