(Mr. P. Merritt is putting in hig ice this week. One of our neighbor bousewives, while pumping a pail of water at an outdoor cistern, saw a live crick et walking a lively pace ‘on the grass. What do you think of that? Mr. M.+Teeter is calling on friends in this vicinity this week. _Mr. Barnwell, of Hamilton, has moved on the Will Bater‘s properity. Mrs. Callen, of Toitingham, who has been staying with her daughter, Mrs. W. Webb, returned home _ on Saturday. â€" as he did not leave an enemy â€" beâ€" hind him. Some â€" sneak thief was â€" clever enough to carry away three . geese from Mr. Ingram‘s one night last week. Yet again we hope to meet ‘him When the day of life is fled, And in heaven with joy to g him, Where no farewel tears are she The funeral was held on Sunday from Marlatt‘s Undertaking Parlors, and a very large concourse of peoâ€" ple turned out to pay their last reâ€" spects and tribute to a man who had done his share ungrudingly for his king and country in years gone by. The casket was draped with a large Uinion Jack and nearly covered with flowers from neighbors â€" and friends. ( The Home_ Guard under â€" Capt. Fleming turned out sixty strong and a firing party of thirteen picked men under Sergt.â€"Major Harrison, led the procession. Service was held in the Church and was conducted by Rev. Ballard. At the grave Mr. Ballard read the simple burial prayer of the Anglican Church, the firing party fired a salute of thirtyâ€"nine guns, and Bandsman Bradley souinded the Last Post, o‘er all that remained of one of Britain‘s buiiders. Mr. Will Konkle was in Smithville on Friday. _ Mr. J. O‘Hare shipped for Toronto Friday. Joe‘s smiles and Irish jokes will be missed in the mneighborhood Mr. P. Merritt is installing watering plant in his stables. Messrs. J. C. Marlatt & Son very generously sent a wagon after his remains and hbhandled the funeral in excellent shape free of charge. Tne Revy. J. Allan Ballard on behalf â€" of St. Andrews Church donated a lot in St. Andrews burying ground for his last resting place. ‘~NMOUNTAIN YVIEW Tapping the Maples is the talk Oof the day. ; Mr. R. 0. Walker is at present laid up with a sore hand. The Home officialsy notified Chief Swayze of "Billy‘s" death on Thurs day morning, and the Chief instruct ed ‘them to prepare him for _ burial and he would have the body brought to GRIMSBY. ‘"The hermit‘s real name is Wilâ€" liam Wooton. He was born in Birken head, Cheshire, in 1837 ang in 1862 came to Canada with the first batta lion of the Prince Consort‘s Own Rifles under the command of Lord Russell. At that ime it took 22 days to cross the Atlantic. The regiment was ordered to Hamilton, and travel led by sleighs as far as River du Loop, and then took the Grand Trunk to this city, Hamilton was then oinly a small town and four constables were all that were need ed to keep the peace. â€" Bandmaster Robinson of the Thirteenth band, came over with the same regiment. "The old man tells some vyery interesting stories of early days in Caniada, but always reverts to soldâ€" icring. Every man ‘he says should be made to serve as a soldier if only to teach him obedience." "But "Billy‘ seems . to be anxious to be of some benefit to the commun ity, for he has expressed a wish that when he dies his body shall be given over to some hospital for experimen tal purposes. On one occasion, when he ws asked what he would. do if he should become sick, the old mian said he would take an overdose of opium and lie down and die, He had never had recourse to a Gdoctor yet and does rot want to, he says. al years he has lived entirely on the charity of bhis neighbors, who supply him regularly with food and clothaâ€" ing. He takes a lively interest in cur rent events, and provided that he has a newspaper and a iPipe and tobacceo, he appears to be happy. (Continued from page 1) "The interior of the cabin is a bed room, dining room and kitchen, all in one, and a small table, a chair, a boxâ€"bed, and a cupboard comprises the furniture. The room is warmed by a wood stove, which, owing to its small dimensions, has to be reâ€" plenished with fuel continually in order to keep a fire burning. In a chair by the fire sits the sole occuâ€" pant, an old man of, 72 years of age. Although he has passed the allotted time of three score years and ten, the old man is hale and hearty, excepting for a weak back, which makes it impossible for him to do any work. "Known to the community only as "Billy Onions," he has lived in his hut for 19 years with no companion and few friends. For the last sever MILITARY FUNERAL FOR IN .

WAR GRIMSBY THK INDEPENDENT, GRIMSBY, ONT. skate® 8c lb (5) Another route the Grand Trunk is also considering, is from Lowbanks, along the lake shore to the east side of the river.â€"Dunnville Chronicle. It is reported that the Grand Trunk is considering building a rail way from GRIMSBY to Port Maitâ€" land on the west side of the Grand River, making a short cut from Toronto and Hamilton to Lake~Erie, to ishare in the coal trade, and other important manufacturing which is expected to be located here. G.T.R. FROM GRIMSBY «TO DUNNVILLE Surveyers have been at work for the past few weeks making a surâ€" vey from GRIMSBY, and are now in the vicinity of Dunnville, their line passing west ofâ€" Attercliffe and through the west end Of Dunnville, down the river and crossing it near the embankment. He urged coâ€"operative methods in the fruit irdustry and if you want to increase the output let the people know that you will sell it Ccheap. He told how he sold peaches . at G@RIMSBY for 17 cents a ‘basket which were sold in Toronto for 85 cents. In regards to apples he said he could have sold any amount of first class apples if he ‘bhad them. Mr. Livingston then summed up his whole talk in four points: First, coâ€"operate in the production of beans. Second, reduce the quantity of tomatoes. Third, increase the demand for Hruit. s Fourth, get a uniform price. Mr. Rivett, a member of the asso ciation stated that the men had told them what to do, but not how . to do it. He then urged the â€" tomato gr{)wers to stick to their price _ of 30 cents for he said "you won‘t inâ€" crease anything unless you stick together." He was very enthusiasâ€" tic upon the subject and said it would be cheaper to let the Jland stand than to grow tomatoes at 25 cents. Mr. Levi Moyer, vice president of the association, also urged organiza tion, stating that if we don‘t stand together we can never get results. He further said that it would be more helpful to the country at large if the vegetable growers would raise another crop, and that this would also cause a demand for tomiatoes next year. Mr. Bunting was in favor of reâ€" leasing all those who wanted to grow tomatoes for 25 cents, but the men would not listenrn to it. . They would stick to 30 cents or nothing. Mr. Reese, president of the Ontario Vegetable and Fruit Growers Assoâ€" ciation, of which our association is a branch, urged the men to stick to the staple crops, as we must grow something to help supply some _ of the enormous lack in Europe. He stated that the staple crops would pay this year as the shortage in Europe must be filled. Mr. Reese also urged the growers to igrade their igoods as by this means they could get a ‘better price and also in crease the market. Mr. Johinston, also of the Ontario Association, stated that the sooner the vegetable growers get together and grade their goods the sooner they would be felt. He urged a uniâ€" form quality. Several members of the associaâ€" tion expressed their views on prices, etc., after which the meeting was adjourned to meet again on Mar. 12 in the Standard Hall at 2 o‘clock sharp. This will be a general busiâ€" ness meeting. One of the aqudience suggested that a number of men get together to grow beans and purchase a thresher and cleaner between them. Mr. Laird stated that â€" if enough beans were grown in this section he would probably send a man down to buy them and finished by saying that beans were the most concentrat ed of foods and that no crop would produce more food for the countries whose Jlands are battlefields. Mr. James A. Livingston, of GRIMSBY, urged the farmers to co operate in the raising of beans and not to go into it alone. He suggested that a number of bean growers write and coâ€"operate in buying, planting, selling, etc., and that an expert be hired to visit the various farms at the time of sowing and har tvesting. ‘"*You can make more mon éy out of beans," he said "than out of any other crop." Sizing up the tomato situation he stated that the packers had most of their 1914 stock still on hand and that the mar ‘ket in the northwest was closed,. for some unknown reason. . Along. this line he suggested that the proâ€" duction of tomatoes be decreased and thus increase the demand next year. Mr. Livingston next took up the sale of fruit. He stated that the fruit growers had to produce better fruit and of a uniform quality, and then a uniform price should be asked for the whole section. "First," he continued, "we must start in the orchard and increase the quality, keeping the poor Gqiuiality off the market; then demand a uniform price and in this way the consumpâ€" tion will be increased 100 per cent. Now you have every retailer looking for the man who will sell the cheap est." (Continued from page 1) grower, of Kent County, addressed the Association on the growing of beans,. _ He stated that beangs could be grown in this district very easily and that the wihite pea been had the largest market, He then told of the plowing, sowing, cultivation and harvesting of the bean. Beans are now selling at $2.85 per bushel, the average crop is 25 bushel per acre and the cost ‘of production about $30 per acre. TOMATO GROWERS Patriotism without production is an empty sound. If ever there was a time when by your deeds you are re quired to be known, it is now. Now, when the Empire is at war; now, when many of the regular channels of â€" supply are closed; mow, when men in miliions have been summon ed from the paths of industry to the inferno of destruction; now, when when Britain is fighting for Belâ€" gium‘s right to live; now, when the world‘s liberties are at stake; now, when Germany seeks to prostrate Britain even as she has prostrated Belgium; now, â€" when â€" Germany threatens the forty inillion people of England, Scotland, Ireland â€" and Wiales with starvation; now, when the enemy is ‘bombarding peaceful towns and ~villages, slaughtering innocent and harmless women and children;‘ now, when fertile dfields and fruitful gardens of other lands are lying in waste ‘ and swollen ‘with death; now, is the time when Caniada is called upon to put forth her mightest effort to help stem the tide of destruction, to aid the Emâ€" pire and to profit herself, In entering upon the campaign in which it is now engaged, the iDeâ€" partment of Agriculture of the Doâ€" minion has entered upon a task that should do untold good. It is not that our farmers needed altoâ€" gether to ‘be prompted to benefit themselves, but that perhaps some of them â€" do not entirely recognize the seriousness of the present and the more than probable critical con ditions of the future. If the war were to end tomorrow, there would still be need for every effort in pro ductiveness, for â€" many years must elapse before the devastation that kas â€"been caused can be remedied or repaired, Uahappily, the probabili ties are that the giant conflict will continue for many months yet, in which case the mind of man cannot fathom or forsee the damage that will have been done to every form of industry, To agriculture in partiâ€" cular, by the waste of life, by‘ the wrecking of property and by the spreading of desolation. It is in reâ€" pairing the damage others cause the farmers are called upon to aid. It is their mother country that cries to them. The Agricultural Department is not alone holding conferences at many points in the country, but it is engaged, as will be seen by the announcement elsewhere, in distriâ€" tuting large quantities of literature telling how _ the farmer can â€" best serve the interests of the empire, display his grateful sense of patriot ism and bring profit to himself. In brief and explicit language, that all who run may read and understand, is pointed out the needs of the situ ation and how those needs can be met. Above all, the agdvice is given to avoid waste. Everything can be utilized. Nothing need be thrown away as valueless. The economy of production is in saving. t PATRIOTISM AND PRODUCTION ‘Fruitâ€"aâ€"tives‘‘ is sold by all dealers at 50c. a box, 6 for $2.50 trial size 25c. or sent postpaid on receipt of price by Fruitâ€"aâ€"tives Limited, Ottawa. ‘Fruitâ€"aâ€"tives‘‘ tones up, invigoâ€" rates, strengthens, purifies, cleans and gives pure, rich, clean blood that is, in truth, the stream of life. ‘"Fruitâ€"aâ€"tives‘"‘, by their wonderful action on all these organs, keeps the whole system as clean as Nature inâ€" tended our bodies to be clean.
