Values must be made and a profit ang loss stateâ€" ment submitted. Must Make Field Notes The boys are expected to take field notes as they go along and ‘be able to answer questions relating to the charâ€" acter of the soil and subsOil, what crop was grown on the land in the previous year, when it was planted, at what depth, dates of cultivation and weather conditions at the time, dates of sprayâ€" ing and a host of other informative queries. Potato clubs are proving of great valâ€" ue in a number of communities in other parts of Ontario where both boys and girls have been learning some of the finer things about gardening and some of the less pleasont ones, too. The Timmins club is well organized and well supervised and the display of homeâ€"grown potatoes in the fall should attract widespread attention. The members of the club must go to great detail when figuring up what the crop cost them, or would have cost them had it been on a strictly commerâ€" clal basis, Rent of the land, cost of seed, spray and fertilizer and cost of labour in plowing, cultivating, planting, cultivation after planting, treating the seeq for scab, spraying, harvesting and hauling from the field. At Thursday‘s meeting L. H. Hanlan of the experimental farm at Kapusâ€" kasing gave the boys an interesting talk on the growing and grading of potatoes. Fosters Community Coâ€"Operation The objects of the club, as set out in literature supplied by the Ontario Government, are to demonstrate the value of certified seed and the pracâ€" tice of good cultural and marketing methods; to develop leadership and fosâ€" ter community coâ€"operation; to focus attention on production costs. The whole crop becomes the property of the boy who produces it, with the excepâ€" tion of one bag, which must be returned to the club that supplied the seed. plots Published #t Timmins, Ont., Canada, He leaves for Kirkland Lake on Thursday and will return to North Bay the following day.

"The block from Fourth to Fifth avenues should certainly be paved," he says, "and I think it would be good business to also pave from Cadar street to Tamarack street on Pifth avenue. The benefit to the hospital alone would be full warrant for this paving. I don‘t think the cost would be prohibiâ€" tive. The sooner a petition is circulatâ€" ed the better. I don‘t thinrk anyone would hesitate to sign such a petition. The dust nuisance must be a serious one for the hospital. Anyone can see the injury to the beautiful grounds of the hospital from the dust. It must be a still more serious matter inside the hospital. The central public school would also be greatly benefitted by the proposed paving, as would also the three churches on or near Fifth avenue, as well as their congregations and the general public. The council would make a good name for itself this year if this paving were done at an early date."

Information seâ€" cured by The Advance from a local citizen who was through the territory on Saturday and Sunday would seem to prove that the danger from bush fires in the area is over for the presâ€" ent. There was a fire raging about half a mile from the Ashlsy Mine and it looked bad for the Ashley for a time, but a change in the wind reduced the danger, Dlowing the fire in the opâ€" posite direction. Even a change of th: wind will have much reduced danger for the Ashley as the fire would have to travel back over burned area. All the fires have been in the north and east, none of the fires being south of High Falls Matachewan village (Moyâ€" neur‘s) has never been in danger, and there are no fires near the YOungâ€"Daâ€" vidson (Hollinger property}.

However, The Advance is assured that there is no fire now near the Youngâ€"Davidson property or Maâ€" tachewan village, and that the bush fire threatening the Ashley is now turned away. The fire near the Ashley was eight or ten miles north of Maâ€" tachewan village. It was about ten miles long. It lookeq bad for the Ashley for a time when the wind was blowing from the southeast, but a change of wind to the southwest removed the danger. The smoke was unusually heavy from this fire. The bush around the Ashley is very heavy and this added to the difficulty of doing anything to counteract the fires. On account of the heavy bush and the grip the fire seâ€" cured there was little that could be done to fight the fire, It is expected, however, that the danger is past for the present, while as noted before there have been no fires threatening Mataâ€" chewan village or the Youngâ€"Davidson. the King.

Mr. Published at Timmineas, Ont., Canada Every MONDAY and THURSDAY Lion I. P. Whitney introduced the guest speaker for the evening, G. A. Macdonald, president of the District of Cochrane Children‘s Aid Society. Mr. MacdOnalq said that he had been asked to say a few words in regard to the King, whose 70th birthday would be observed before the next meeting of the clit>, and also to refer to the "Adoptâ€"a@aâ€"Baby Week," and the work in general of the Childrens Aid Society. At a time when so many thrones were disappearing and so many others totâ€" tering, it was interesting to note that the British throne was stronger than ever before in the history of the Emâ€" pire. This was due to the notable charâ€" acter of the King and the noble serâ€" vice he had given his people. It was a mistake to think that the King had little constitutional power, that he was a mere figurehead. The King had wide power and authority, but because of his temperament he was careful in the use of that power. Greater far, however, than his power, was the influence of the King. To a service club like the Lions it should be easy to understand how the influence had developed and won the respect angq affection of the pecple.
