J. 6. RAVELLE SHOUTS 861 IN BOWLING LAST WEER Honour Roll:â€"J. G. Ravelle, 861; E L. Reid, 527; A. Sauve, 633; J. Walker 616. Bowling has now gone into its third week The boys have had two matches under their belt and although a lot of them are still lost on the alleys, a few more found the game, notably John Gordon Ravelle, more popularly known among his friends as "Bud." He surâ€" passed himself and everybody else by shooting two 300 games, one being 356, for a total of 861, which is really reâ€" markable for this time of the year, and looks like an impossible score for some of them to beat, although there is more than one, who has vowed to do it. E. G. Dickson‘s Team Leads the League at Present. That Team Has Not Lost a Game to Date Dickson‘s team, with Ravelle going as he did, easily took all four points, with a clean sheet. Reid, finding alleys 7â€"8 to his liking, rolled three 200 games, for the big total of 752, and, with J. Walker‘s 616, led his team to their first win, and a good one at that, as they won all three games. i The Sauveâ€"Deardon match was the most interesting of the night, Dearâ€" don winning the first and last game by 25 and 33 pins, while in the second came Sauve, who was back from his holidays in fine condition, shot 274 to give his team an even split on points. Unforunately neither Angelo nor Eyre who were to play could field more than three men, and were therefore charged with two games played and no points won. o.ootc._.000000000000000000 M uP 1282422 4t 2e *, * aledise o4. + .oooooooooo:0000000000000000000000000000000'00000000000000900 " 14 «t e 6 % * Plumbing, Heating and Sheet Metal Contractors LEO MASCIOL for Cellars, Sewers, Etc Contrac® of al kinds taken EMPIRE BUILDING CONTRACTOR Phone No. 321 .......'.....‘........ @ U t 2aa*s a*, SaaSnaloctacte oc oo o0 04 +2 . _@. .®. * w _ _ 0.....0.00..‘.:.‘ vo‘ozozotnoooooozuo?o‘o‘oz es o4 1+ *4 % .

Perhaps, it is because the ipapers seek the more unusual topics. | If this is true, then the weather in ‘this North Land this year has been so {unusual as to claim a place alongside ! the other crimes that fill so many !columns of so many newspapers these days. In the memory of the oldest inâ€" habitant of this North Land never has there been so much rain and wet as this year. The New Liskeard Speaker |has been paying much attention to the matter of the weather, basing its opinâ€" ions on an experience of some 34 years. The Speaker, however, finds that 1rain and wet here is suffered in someâ€" |what similar fashion in Muskoka, and in the last issue of The Speaker the matter is set forth as follows:â€" Temiskaming Usually Free from Exâ€" tremes in Wet, Drought, Cold and Storms in General. "If some of our readers think we take up to much space in commenting on weather conditions we may tell them that it is not more tiresome for them to read what we have to say than it is tiresome for us to present this kind of reading matter to them. "For a long time after the pioneers of Temiskaming settled here they were in the habit of inspecting each others crops to ascertain whether or not the country was capable of producing such farm and garden foodstufis as grew in Southern Ontario and Quebec; and our annual fall fair was visited by everyone. Briefly told, our people were trying out the country. Then the district got beyond the experimental stages, an« became popular throughâ€" out Canada. "Having been associated with Temâ€" iskaming for thirtyâ€"four years, we are in a position to point out that the season of 1928 has been exceptional Indeed, Temiskaming has been less subjected to extremes in wet, drought, cold, storms and other unfortunate conditions than most districts or counâ€" tries. We certainly believe that it would be a mistake for any one to sacrifice his property here and move to another place because of rainy weather this year. A few years ago we received a letter from a young married man who is living in Western Canada, but who formerly lived in Temiskaming. He said: "I am leaving this place. We have had no crops for three years." It is likely he found when he had reached his new home that the fruitâ€" ful years were over. Temiskaming is not a country of this kind. For thirty years our farmers have been blessed with good crops. "Owing to the unprecedented wet spring, summer and fall we have seen the danger of our farmers becoming discouraged, and hence we deem it our duty as the publisher of a newsâ€" paper in the Claybelt to do what we can, and what we believe we ought to do to encourage them. "Dear Sir:â€"I notice in your last two issues where you have been complainâ€" ing about the wet weather during the summer and particularly the latter while. I have been down there several times during the summer and would like to tell you that you don‘t know what rain is. I can show you in the vicinity of Burks Falls a dozen farms with almost their entire grain crop still in the fields, the greater part not cut, with their stock turned in on same. Some farmers tried at the beginning of harvest to cut with the binder, then with the mower and finally witth the scythe. When they got their feet wet with 15" leather top rubbers on, they quit the job. What little has been got in is so wet it will not heat but is rotâ€" ting in the barn. "We have said before that away south east for many miles the weather has also been wet. Every week the Bracebridge Gazette comments on the wet weather in Muskoka, and in its last issue this paper publishes a letter from Sprucedale, Parry Sound, corâ€" respondent which shows that matters are quite as bad 150 miles south as they are here. Says the correspondent: THE PORCUPINE ADVANCTE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO "I heard of one farmer having an ad. in the local paper which ran someâ€" thing like this: "Some oats in stock for sale or will exchange for a good watch dog te keep the wolf from the door this winter." DYMOND FARMER HAD GOOD LUCK WITH HIS HAY AND GRAKW New Liskeard Speaker:â€"Mr. F. W. Millar, Dymond, had better luck than most farmers, for he saved both his hay and grain crops. If others had the same good luck Temiskaming farâ€" mersâ€"and the country, alsoâ€"would be worth many more thousands of dollars than they now are. The longest spell of dry weather we have had since last spring was ten days in August. It usâ€" ed to be our boast "There has never been a failure in crops in Temiskaâ€" ming," and really, there has not been a failure this year. The trouble has been over the failure of the farmers to save their crops on account of continuâ€" ous rains. It is well for Temiskaming that the district is so high above sea level. Those in lower altitudes will eventually have some of the rain which has fallen here. Ottawa Journal:â€"The Ontario Govâ€" ernment‘s profit on liquor sales for one year was $8,000,000. With a profit like that a slight reduction in vendors‘ prices might be considered in order. The Ontario Government does favour the idea of compulsory autoâ€" mobile idemnity insurance for this province at the present time. The chief cobjection to the compulsory inâ€" surance plan is that in Massachussetts State where it has been tried it is alleged to have been a failure in securâ€" ing the results desired. The number of accidents in that state are said to have increased. Also the report on the matter for the Government is to the effect that innumerable claims for damages are outstandit at the present time and the whole state of affairs in regard to the accidents and the insurance are in a muddle. Neiâ€" ther of the reasons appear to be suffiâ€" cient to warrant dropping the compu!â€" sory insurance idea. It may be true that accidents have increased in Masâ€" sachussetts since the insurance plan went into force, but where have they not increased? And how much more might they not have increased, if there had been no indemnity insurance? The muddle in which affairs are supâ€" posed to have landed may also be reâ€" sponsible for the increase in accidents. Few plans can do good if they are muddle. Muddle however, does not mean that Ontario would do so. Ontario does not usually muddle plans it underâ€" takes. The Government has too many successes in administrationâ€"the Workâ€" men‘s Compensation Act, the Childâ€" ren‘s Acts, the School Acts, and severâ€" al others actsâ€"to make thoughtfiul people here fear that administration would be muddled. The Advance reâ€" grets that the Government is inclined to drop the idea our compulsory insurâ€" ance for automobiles, lsecause present conditions are certainly unfair to the motorists who can afford a car and the general public.

Under such a plan licenses would not be granted to old and wornâ€"out machines. This is supâ€" posed to be a modification of the inâ€" demnity "insurance plan, but it is so ‘"modified" as to be only a very disâ€" tant relation. It is open to all the objects, and more, urged against the insurance plan, and it is hard to see where it offers much protection to the public. It places the man with money Arkansas Gazette:â€"More than a thousand ducks were killed by storms recently in Kansas and more are going to be lamed in November. at an advantage over the man who has to feature cheapness in the car he buys. There is no ground in this district for the idea that a man in an old car is more reckless than one in a big new auto. Indeed, many drivers of tumbleâ€"down cars are amonw the most careful on the roads. They have to be, to keep going. But at any rate they do not endanger the safety oi the public or of other motorists.
