League. In this connection the remarks of the Hon. C.C. Ballantyne at a meetâ€" ing in Toronto are interesting: s It was not the intention of the Federal Government of Canada to burden : the Dominion with heavy Naval forces, the Minister declaring that Canada would ‘be satisfied with one cruiser, two torpedo ‘?oats and two submarines at an expenditure to this country during 1920â€"21 of two million dollars owing to the fact that England had given these up to date ships to Canada. y cvamy Canada would soon have sixtyâ€" three merchant ships on the High Seas totaling 376000 dead weight tons, ranging in tonnage from 3750 to 10000 tons, engaged in carrying cargo to India, Australia, the Orient, East and West Indies and Mediterâ€":| ranean ports. The Minister further| declaring that Canada was only able to obtain preferential treaties with the West Indies and other Countries because Canada possessed ships capâ€" able of not only carrying ‘Canadian goods but bringing back the goods o these countries who desire to trade with us but had no ships. In a word hag Canada not â€" possesseq these ships owned and . operatedâ€"â€"hy.‘ her she could never have entered inâ€", to these important treaties. The Minister declared that Canada T AB personally indebted to the work of lthg ‘\;ggg” League in the fin,ding of men and boyg to man.Cangdas flrStg Naval Unit. + ' â€" That the Minister was on his feet to say today that the young men which the Navy League had trained as Merchant Seamen were now on Canâ€"~dian ships and that it was everybody‘s â€" business to _ concern themselves with the Mercantile Marâ€" ine of Canada, manned and officered by Canadians; for he said what the the Navy League has sought to emâ€" phasizeâ€"if you have the ships the trade of the world is yours and furâ€" ther you can carry your goods to the four corners of the earth.

Dr. Beland, M .P, i the building ething and the good bit at the Stock Breeding "Outside of the fruit business enâ€" tirely‘, we have a considerable aâ€" mount of general farming to look inâ€" to from this office" declarea Mr® Geo. Wilson,. agricultural representâ€" ative at St. Catharines when asked for an outline of the work being carâ€" rieq on in the interest of the farmers of Lincoln County. Last week saw the completion of the bulk of the grape harvest in the Niagara district and though this last of the tender fruit crops was well disposed of and brought good returns to the growers the same could not be said for any of the other fruits grown in the district this year with the exception of cherâ€" ries and even cherries were not sucâ€" cessfully disposed of in some secâ€" tions. Mr. Wilson ‘drew attention to the fact that peach acreage in the Niagara district is not what it should be, in view of the possible market for peaches and that lack of success of disposing of the crop this year is any thing but likely to encourage extendâ€" ed planting especially in view of the greatly increased cost of nursery stock. + f is the rule in several townships Sitâ€" uated well above the lake level. IN these nonâ€"fruit growing townships many of the farms have ‘become more or less run out by growing grain and hay crops for market, the hard cash offered by the Hamilton buyers havyâ€" ing proved too much of an attraction. Of late however, said Mr. Wilson the farmers have begun to take up dairyâ€" ing with the result that the farms are improving as regards fertility and cultivation. Nor are â€" the ‘activities of these dairy farmers entirely conâ€" fined to production of milk for city supply. Creameries and cream gathâ€" ering stations have ibeen established at!several points in the county and as a result the byâ€"products of butter manrufacture are being fed to young live stock. â€" Even in the fruitâ€"growling SCCUO®S of Lincoln County farmers are beginâ€" ning of late to show more interest in" live stock raising. Corn and root crops make big yields, provided the matter of manuring is not neglected and many of the most successful sSOFT ROT INX POTATOES INX THIS CcoUNTY » St. Câ€"tharines Nov.9.â€""We should have had a record crop of potatoes in this district thtis year, only that a soft rot has set in and a good deal of the crop is affected" said George Wil son, Agricultural ‘representative of Lincoln County, toâ€"day. "As a reâ€" sult‘" he said "there will not be any overplus of potatoes angqg while the price may come down now for A while, the price will be pretty stiff again next year. Of course I don‘t think there will be any such thing as $3 a bushel as prevailed last spring but the price next Spring will be by no means cheap. The rot I speak of came from the iblight recently ~and this blight appears to have been very bad also in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. the big potaâ€" toâ€"growing provinces."

Earlier in the . evening Mike wert into the hotel and asked for a bed. «He was told that he could not be accommodated. Then he went out, walking out the Hamilton â€" stone road towards his home 17 miles away. Grimsby Resident Robbed of $400 According to his story, he was just a few minutes outside of the city near Haynes‘ Bros.‘ when he was set upon by two masked men who knockâ€" ed him down, gave him a bad beating and tore his pockets out, making away with the booty $400 of which he had drawn from a local bank to make first payment on a property he inâ€" tended purchasing. Baruk was able to give the police a fairly good description of the robâ€" bers and County Constable R. E. Boyle and Detective Sergt. McCarthy are scouring the city and vicinity in an effort to locate them. It is beâ€" lieved by the â€"police that they are the same men who set upon and robbed the foreigners on the canal bank last Friday night.
