Canadians will appreciate the item in a London despatch: "The Hon.

It would be merely repeating a cliche to emphasize that rank, wealth or poâ€" sition do not count in a London police court. But one can visualize the Hon.

Some advertisers have tried the radio, shopping giuiides, etc., but they have found that their advertising dollar sets more results and goes farther in newspaper advertising than in any other field.

It was also decided to call another meeting at an early date to arrange for a convention to select a candidate for the coming Federal election. no Conservative party candidate fotr this riding, though a Conservative ran as a candidate for the Reconstruction Party headed by Hon. Mr. Stevens. Several names are mentioned as poSâ€" sible candidates for the National Conâ€" servative party in this riding. Among those particularly popular as the posâ€" sible choice of the convention is Mr. A. E. Wicks, mayor of Cochrane. It is not known, however, whether> Mtr. Wicks will consider the matter or not. Although there are some in the party who would favour an acclamation for Mr. Jos. A. Bradette, M.P., so far as the Conservative party is concerned, the general feeling of the meeting last week was for a convention and the selection of a candidate for the riding under the banner of the National Conâ€" servative party. Last election there was North Bay Nuggetâ€"Evidently the Ontario Mayors‘ Association â€" made Premier M. F. Hepburn moderate his views on the Dominionâ€"provincialâ€" municipal public works scheme.

More and more local and district women are finding out the advantages of visiting the market every Saturday. and, althouzh the market is located at the curling rink where it is not in adâ€" vantageous location, each Saturday has found more women visiting the various booths. On Saturday of last week, twelve booths were filled by farmers from Matheson, Cochrane, and Timâ€" mins and district, displaying a temptâ€" ing array of fresh vegetables, meats, and fruiÂ¥. Several gentlemen also visit the marâ€" ket, perhaps hoping to help their wives in the business of "keeping house." On Saturday last, The: Advance reporter followed a local gentleman as he made the rounds of the various booths, and was amused to find this gentleman inâ€" quired of his little son as to the suitâ€" ability of the foods for their dinner table. Whenever the youngster deâ€" clared that this or that article would be very tasty, ‘the daddy promptly bought that "goody" to take home. f Lettuce, peas, radishes, tomatoes, cuâ€" cumbers, apples, peaches, various meats, cheese, and other products of the local farms ‘were displayed in abundance at the booths. Speaking to Mr. Laroche, manager of the market, The Advance found that crops this year were parâ€" ticularly good. Mr. Laroche said that he hoped to have every booth in the curling rink, where the market is being held this year, filled at an early date. Location of Market Spoils Attendance, Farmers Believe.

Canada, Every MONDAY and THURSDAY NAPOLEON AND UNCLE ELBY day, but that the location of the matrâ€" ket made it impossible to have as good an attendance as the produce from the district deserved. Mr. Remmert had an abundance of spring chicken, and said that in about one month‘s time he exâ€" pected to have an especially large amount of eggs to sell. Housewives of the district, who wish to prepare appetizing meals, should reâ€" member that the market is held every Saturday in the curling rink, across the T. N. O. railway tracks. Many local women have visited the market, and enquiry will inform you that there is much that is tasty and appetizing at the market. Thought it Right Answer But From the Wrong Boy (From Nebelspalter, Rorschach.) Goebbels was paying a visit to a pubâ€" lic school in order to see how his proâ€" paganda was affecting the youth of the country. He asked a small boy to quote from memory some patriotic greeting. The child replied: ‘"Hell Hitâ€" ler.‘" "Quite right," said Herr Goebâ€" bels, "but there are other slogans. A second boy piped up: *"Deutschland uber Alles." "Fine, fine, said Goebbels, "but there ate even more impressive ones." Whereupon the smallest boy in the class contributed: "Our people shall go on for ever." "Bravo," said Goebbels "that‘s very good indeed! What‘s your name?" And the boy answered: "Isaac TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, AUGUST 10th 193 PICNIC ON BIG SCALE At a recent mestinz of the National Festival Committse held in the dining room of the Three Star Hotel it was decided to hold a Festival Dance in the McIntyre Arena on Friday, September 289th. Other business transacted was the settling of all accounts against the recent Grand National Pestival.

Grand National Festival Committee to Hold Dance Making Progress on Canoe Trip to World‘s Fair Pete Spence Expects to Reach Ottawa This Week Pete Spence, who is making a trip by canoe from Timmins to the New York World‘s Fair, continues to make progress despite difficulties and hardâ€" ships that arise. He expects to reach Ottawa this week. From Ottawa to New York the going should be easier, the worst part of the journey now beâ€" ing over. During the trip he has kept in close touch with Timmins, reporting progress as regularly as possible though ther2e have been days at a time when he was unable to do this on account of being far from any means of communâ€" ication. In a note to The Advance last week from Fort Coulonze he wrote:â€" "Arrived this morning bucking head winds all the way from Pembroke. Portaged Pembroke rapids and ran Paquette rapids below Westmeath. Exâ€" pect to reach Arnprior Sunday night and Ottawa about middle of next week."

There is every justification for the new regulation requiring the dimming of all lights on motor vehicles on the highways. The regulation calls for the dimming at a distance of not less than 500 fset from an approaching vehicle, and if the matter be taken as an act of courtesy it may perhaps be accepted with better grace. Nothing is more confusing to a driver than to find himself in the glare of one of superâ€"brilliant headlights with other vehicles streaming along in comâ€" parative darkress and with no opporâ€" tunity to Gistinguish them clearly. Even when precautions are taken there is danger, as was instanced quite recently when a motorist, dazzled with approaching lights and unwilling to take any chances drew up on the side of the road. Another car coming along and trying to avoid the stalled car, colâ€" lided with it, was forced into a skid and collided with another, which also involved a third car with the most serious consequences. Winners at Ladies‘ Golf Here Friday Afternoon In the Ladies‘ Golf on Friday afterâ€" ncon, Mrs. Geo. Lake won the first flight with a score of 94. Mrs. Yorke was the winner of the second flight and Miss Farr won the third flight. Everything was on a big scale at the picnic at the Buffaloâ€"Ankerite Park on Sunday, Aug. 6th.

Bad brakes cost two fines of $10 and costs each and various other infractions of townâ€" byâ€"laws and the Highway Traffic Act drew fines up to $10 and costs. Sudbury Mystery Man Doomed for Many Months There were the usual charges of drunkenness ard having wine in other places other than those allowed by law. A postmortem on "Robert X," the mysterious 40â€"yearâ€"old man who died recently at Sudbury apparently from lack of nutrition, revealed the fact that the man had been suffering from a tumour in the stomach that prevented him from eating. He had been living alone in a shack at Sudbury and it was thought that death had been due to practical starvation. The postâ€" mortem, however, proved that the obâ€" struction in his stomach had prevented him from eating properly for some time before his death, The doctors also found that the tumour was the real cause of his death, The identity of the man has not yet been discovered, though every effort has been made to find out who the man was or where he came from. Last week his fingerâ€" prints were sent to Ottawa in the hope of learning something about the dead man.
