IHE DURHAM CHRONICLE A very interesting and instruct-' lve booklet of one hundred pages ' issued by the Temiscaming Board of Trade, at New Liskeard, has, been received at this office. The. object is to bring before the read- : l ing public the possibilities of the: “Clay Belt,” as an agricultural‘ centre. To members of the Press Association who took the trip north a few weeks ago, the booi: is peculiarly interesting, and to those who never saw our great northern heritage it will give an: idea of its magnitude. resources" and progress. The rapid growth, and development of New Liskeard g is shown to depend largelv on the 1 rich agricultural country by which g it is surrounded in the east, west.i and north. Though rich in agri-! I cultural resources, it is compara- tively new and not fully nor suf-‘I fielently settled, and all that is required for the future is an influx of strong, sturdy. and enduring. men. That agriculture is the‘ backbone of the country and th~_ spinal column of the town of New; Liskeard, are emphasized as truths that are not sufficxently known. Other places are referred to also as growing centres. “The towns 'Englehardt, Charlton, and Coch- rane, are situated in the farming belt, and doing a substantial and profitable trade with the tillers of the soil,” says the carefully com- piled work. and no doubt the fut- ure exodus from the older prov- inces' will find many to take up homes in the Northern country, who would otherwise follow the £30st who are settling :in the Great West. 1 1 1 I 4 t A little money is a good thing ‘1) have, but good health and Wil- lingness to hustle and uzi :2 good judgment in your labor: couii: .fo: more than actual cafh in this Cf-uil- try in hewinz or: .1 hour: There’s room for tho;sands 33 .ng- tlers who, if possened of t-h: Firth; spirit of determination. can scams:- h tail to be comfortable in the em or a very {cw years. ‘ICIJ W .‘VQ In l'\ltâ€"Jt¢\ ,\.., V- ‘ . - . - , - A Toronto paper mournsbecame tebm *3 tr n. can 5:21.»! . .

The action of the Board of Trade in bringing ;this new country to the notice of :the outside world in such a 'graphic way is highly commerm- ,able. It is not our business to act as a free advertising agent, nor to explmt the interests of any in- dividual or agency, but we do fe 21 and feel it strongly, that many a person to-day, who is eking out a poor, miserable exwtance working for others, might better go north or west and secure a home of his own. where he would soon be in- dependent.

Crops are looking well .in this part, and at present indicate a bumper crop this year. Mr. Malcolm‘ McCallum is remod- elling his stables, and will have things handy next winter. We understand that Mr. Jam as Brunt, formerly of this place, has purchased the homestead from his brother George, and will move here at once from Williscroft, where he has been in business for some time. We wish Mr. and Mrs Brunt much success in our burg and hope they will not leave us on such short notice as our barber did last year. Mr. Edward Hopkins, of Vickers, placed a cream separator with his brother, R.B. Hopkins, of this place. We expect ,it is one of the best, as Ed. Handles only good goods. Mr. Wm.

The second game of the juvenile series for this district, took place on the show grounds here on F“- day evening, when Hanover and the locals crossed sticks for the first time. Judging from appear- ances the Hanover club is playing men over age, and their team apâ€" m‘ars at least a junior aggreg.i- tion, with but few exceptions. If they are not, the town certainly enjoys the reputation, so far as w: are aware, of having the biggest seventeen-year-old lacrosse play- ers in this part of the province, if not in the Dominion. Good assis‘- ance from the referee, Herman Wendorf, of Hanover, during the first two pericds, also enabled the visitors to acquire a 5 to 1 lead at half time, and while we say they were assisted by the referee we do not think the first half was deliberately st'olen, but was rather a failure on the part of the man with the whistle to catch the Han- over boys at tactics, which, while not serious, should have placwd them with the timekeepers for a few two-minute sessions. Durham suffered two five-minute penalties ‘and a couple or more two-minu’e rests during the first half of the contest, the first two being for ac- cidentally hitting over the head,' and the rest for minor offences. While we don’t think Wendorf put the Durham men off for any more than they deserved, and have not the slightest doubt but that he in- tended to do the fair thing, he just caught the rougher part of the offences, which, in the scuffle, happened to flat“ Durham‘s way. Herman, while we all know him to be a good man himself on the lacrosse field. is new at the refer 1e iob, and inexperience, as much as anything is'rc-sponsible. Practice will undoubtedly get his eye in better shape. During the last half“ however. one could not have asked for any better or {wan-er work than wasgiv- ~vvvâ€"â€" ‘â€" en out, and the locals turned a 5 to 1 lead at half time into a 6 to 6 tie when the full-time whistle blew. For youngsters, it was a great game, and both teams have in their line-up, boys who will make good in larger circles at some later date. Even allowing Hanover the doubt as to the age of their team, the .Durhams, who are mostly little fellows, put up a great game against their heavier and apparently older opponents and are deserving of more than ordinary praise for holding the score down as well as they did. \Vnnderful growth has taken place in all kinds of crops during the past eight. days.

Locationâ€"This half section is situated in the famous Quill Plains, about twenty miles north of Wat- son Station on the C.N.R.. It is in the midst of a good settlement, chiefly of Canadians and Ameri- cans, with some Germans and Nor- wegians. It is about two miles from school, store, church, post office, etc. It is in a very fel'tile part of the West,.which is claim- ed to be equal to the Portage Plains, one of the most fertile ar- eas in the world. Besides immense yields of w1heat,,the neighboring farmers raised as high as 100 bush- els of oats to the acre in some In- stances in 1909. The survey of the Thunder'hill branch of the C.N.R. is near, and the road d8.) already completed to within 70 miles of it.

We drink water, year in and year out, with the greatest benefit to our health. So too, we eat fruit in season and are better for the change of diet. This is “on“: v- v--â€" true, because such things are the natural foods and drink of mankind. It is for this reason that “ Fruit-waves” may be used for years in correcting some ill of the body. As is well known, “ Fruit-a- tives ” is made of the juices of apples, oranges, figs_ and .pruna. V.‘."°w, â€"°_ -_ Just as fresh fruit‘ may be eaten at every meal, so “ Fruit-a-tives " may be taken every night for 20 years or more with the greatest benefit. The absolute safet of “ Fruit-a-tives” has been a great {actor in its success. Those who suffered with chronic trou- bles such as Constipation, Dyspepsia, Rheumatism, etc., naturally took a number of boxes of “ Fruit-a-tives ”.
