Brighton, Ont., April 22ndâ€"(Special to The Advance)â€"In the death on Thursday, April 18th, of John D. Macâ€" Farlane at his home in Orland, Ont., the North loses another of its outstandâ€" ing pioneer citizens. The late Mr. MacFarlane was born June 3rd, 1862, on a farm ncar Kingâ€" ston, Ont. When a very young man he went to Coalorado and worked for three years for the late Duncan Chisholm. In 1891 he returned to Canada and for fourteen years was in business in Buckâ€" ingham, Que. In 1905 he moved to Coâ€" balt and from then on his inferests and heart were in the Nortp Land. A. (Bob) Carriere has taken over the business formerly known as Scott‘s Grocery at 69 Commercial Avenue, Timâ€" mins. Mr. Carriere is well known in Timmins having ibeen on the local staff of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. for some time. Under Duncan Chishoim and later on for the Mattagami Pulp and Paper Co., he cruised many of the timber limits of the North.

The Spruce Falls Pcover and Paper Company was formed in 1926 and work was begun on a paper mill at Kapuskasing and on a hydro plant at Smoky Falls, 50 miles north. Two years later, the operation ‘was in full swing and since that time the company has spent about $2,500,000 in the comâ€" munity, which now has a population of 4,000. The cutput of the Spruce Falis mill is about 750 tons of newsprint daily. Fifty per ceont of it goes to the New York Times and the remainder to the Washington Star and the Philaâ€" delphia Ledger.

As an aftermath of his call, this little story is said to be circulating througn the dignified corridors of St. Peter‘s, Acâ€" cording to the story, Hitler, dissatisfied with the result of Ribbentrop‘s visit, sent Goering to pay a call, He received a telegraph message from Hermann. ‘"Have placed the Holy See under Gerâ€" man protection," it read. "All prelates in concentration camp. Pope has fied. Vatican in flames. Cardinal‘s robe suits me beautifully." Norman Selty, for that was his name, was martied nine times, three times to the same woman; killed a divorcee with whom he had keen living, and spent seven and a half years in jail of the twenty year term he was given as the result; won 196 of the 200 bouts he fought; spent a fortune, went bankâ€" rupt, lived in Riviera villas and in filophcuses; served in the Great War and all but cracked mentally while serving as the keeper of a great jockey who was a dipsomaniac; finished up as a nightwatchman in a factory. . He decided that he couldn‘t stand this world‘s madness any longer and that the world was madder than he. Perhaps he was right. Arguing that it tock two years to conâ€" vince authorities to accept the steel helmet, Walker said: "Having accepted the principle that it is worth while protecting the head from projectiles of low penetrating power, is it not adâ€" visable to extend this principle to other and even more yulnerable areas of the body?" German troops were reported to ibe using duralumirum suits at the beginâ€" ning of this war.. British miiltary authorities said at that time that the suggestion that troops should be armour plated had been considered but it was not regarded as feasible because of the weight, and penetrating power o modern weapons. "I can‘t stand this world‘s madness any longer." wrote Kid McCoy in a little hotel room in Detroit. Then he swallowed enough sleeping pilis to reâ€" lieve him of that painful necessity. He passed on to see if after life could offer him more excitement than the one he left. Large numbers of men died during 1914â€"18 as the result of being hit by tiny fragments of grenades or shell, he said recently in an article in the British Medical Journal. Sixty per cent of the wounded during the last war were put cut of action by projectiles other than bullets. Light armour would not necesâ€" sarily protect a man from bomb splinâ€" ters ‘but "many would be saved from dying as the result of a splinter of low penetrating power entering a vital garea."‘ f Try The Advance Want Advertisements In this war we yet may see troops clanking fortn to battle clad in the armour plate of a former day. That perhaps is an exaggerated inference to graw frem the contention of Kenneth Walker, a Harley Street surgeon and captain in the RAM.C. during World War number 1, but Dr. Waiker would at least have soldiers provided with arâ€" moured chest plates.
