Reports recelv- (ed from many parts of the country | show that the potato crop isverylarge | During the past month, a representa- {tive of the Whig has visited many | sections of the country where pota- | toes are grown. From what he saw | and heard he would judge that there ! would be a very large crop of pota- | toes. These potatoes, which in many ! cases have been dug for a week or | fl ten days, show no signs of rot, as has been stated by people who reside in some parts of the country. Several farmers, when in conver- { sation with the Whig, stated that al- | though the crop is very large in many li} sections, the farmers will not mak t at from $6 to $7 a bag. Last winter | the statement was made that farmers jing them away in their cellars to | wait for high prices. This might have | been the case in a few instances, but ll a Whig representative, who has talk- il ed with farmers in all parts of the lj surrounding counties during the past | five months. is convinced that the | farmers were not profiteering on po- lj: tatoes. Only this week, the Whig man {| talked to a farmer who stated that he did not have one bag of potatoes | on his farm last fall. In the Enterprise section, potatoes Ml! can be bought in large guanaities at | $1 a bag, but when ope takes into | consideration the cost of freight, etc., { they cannot be sold in stores for less | than 30 cents a peck. A great dea: of expense has been incurred in killing the bugs on potato plants this year. The cost of paris green has advanced | greatly during the past few years. In one or two sections visited by the Whig man, he learned that while the early potatoes were a re- A ee na CASCARETS Y "They Work while yau Sleep" Do it! Do it! Take Cascarets to- night for your liver and bowels and wake up free from constipation, bil- lousness, sick headache, or a bad cold.

To Wear Thin Waists or Sleeveless Dresses (Beauty Topics) With the aid of a delatone paste, it is an easy matter for any woman to remove every trace of hair or fuzz from face, neck and arms. En- ough of the powdered delatone and water is mixed into a thick paste and spread on the hairy surface for about 2 minutes, then rubbed off and the skin washed. This completely re- moves the hair, but to avoid disap- pointment, get the delatone in an original package. SAGE TEA DARKENS HAIR TO ANY SHADE Don't Stay Gray! Here's an Old- time Recipe That Anybody Can Apply. RS The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its nat- ural color dates back to grandmo- ther's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked ap- Dearance, this simple mixture was ap- plied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- | pound," you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addi- tion of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair, A well-known downtown druggist] says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a Sponge or goft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after an- other application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy, cord crop, the late crop would not yield nearly so abundantly. During the past week, practically all the farmers are either busy digg- ing potatoes or filling their silos. In | two cases, potato digging machines | were noticed working in the fields. At any rate citizens will not have | to pay so dearly for their potatoes ! this winter, nor be compelled to serve ! the many "substitutes," so unpopu- lar last winter. TO MARK 50TH ANNIVERSARY. Special Services Held in Christ Church, Cataraqui, on Sundays On Sunday, special services were held in Christ church, at Cataraqui, to mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of that church. Rev. J. de Pencier Wright, rector of St. Luke's church, Kingston, was the special preacher of the day, and de- livered two strong sermons, and also | made a fitting reference to the anni- versary. The church was establish- ed by the late Rev. Dr. Wilson, of | New York, who at that time, was cur- ate at St. George's cathedral, King- pston. The church is to undergo extensive terations, and the special offerings | #f Sunday will be devoted for this | purpose. The congregation has re- ceived a letter of congratulation from Miss Madel Wilson, of New York, | daughter of Rev. Dr. Wilson, in which | she contributed a generous subscrip- tion, and it is understood that a memorial for her father and mother will be placed in the edifice. It will be recalled that in a recent ! Storm, the tower of the church was struck by lightning, The tower has to be repaired and plans are also on | foot to make some needed changes at the same time. Two very large congregations marked the anniversary services, The choir rendered a splendid musical service. OSE I EE THE LATE WILLIAM RANCIER Resided In the Kingston District All His Life. There died on Oct. 12th at the home of his daughter, Mrs. William Hutcheson, Brewer's Mills, William Rancier, aged eighty-seven years. The late Mr. Rancier, who was born near Battersea, resided In the neigh- borhood of Kingston all his life, He was the son of the late George Ran- cier and Jennie Milligan. Mr. Ran- cier was of U. E. L. descent. His wi- dow still resides at Brewer's Mills. "Theré were seven children in the family, six of whom are still living. George is in British Columbia, Wil- liam, Henry in Alberta, and Gilbert, who Is a cheese inspector, lives at Vankleek Hill. The daughters are, | besides Mrs. Hutcheson, Mrs. Wil-, liam Pound, Calgary, and Mrs. | (Rev.) G. W. Snell, Pikenham. Mr. Rancier, who for, many years was a subscriber to the Whig, was a | man of sterling character and highly | respected by all who knew him. He was an honored member of the Met- hodist church. The funeral was large- ly attended. Rev. Mr. Doggert assist- ed by Rev. Mr. Winters, conducted the service. AT SYDENHAM STREET CHURCH. Rev. Dr. Shorey, of Napanee, Preach- ed Twice on Sunday. The pulpit of Sydenham street Methodist church, on Sunday, was occupied by Rev. Dr. Shorey Trinity Methodist church, Napanee, and, by the way, he has occupied that charge for the third time in his min- istry. He preached very effective ser- mons, intensely interesting and de- cidedly human. His morning text were the words, "Learn of Me," set- ting forth that the great lessons Christ sought men to learn were pa- tience, self-denial and love. In the evening, he spoke with much force on the words, "There is much rubbish," and in an illuminating way, dwelt on the manner in whigh accumulations gather aboyt doctrines, customs, and governments, destroying even the essentials of the doctrines that were | sought to be presented. | Dr. Shorey possesses a logical | mind, has a tine touch of humor, and a 'keen apreciation of poetry. His sermons on Sunday were certainly a delight and a revelation to his hear- ers, ' TO REPAIR THE ROAD Between Kingston and Seeley"s Bay At Once. 'With the taking over of the See- ley's Bay-Kingston road by the Onta- rio highway commission, for the pur- pose of making the new highway which will connect Kingston with Ottawa, comes the news that the road will be repaired at once. On Thurs- day, when a Whig representative tra- velled over a piece of the road, he found workmen on the job making it passable. Already a quantity of stome has been placed on the piece of the highway between the middle road and the village of Barriefield. A .steam roller was used to break up the stone. On Friday morning when speaking to Anthony Rankin, M.P.P., the Whig learned that it was the intention of the highway commission to make It is the intention of the highway commission to open two gravel pits. Two steam crushers and one steam roller, are being put in working order immediately. AT ST. LUKE'S CHURCH. Canon Smith, Cataraqui, Conducted Services on Sunday. In the absence of the rector, Rev. J. de Pencier Wright, who was con- ducting the jubilee services in Christ church, at Cataraqui, on Sunday, Canon Smith, Cataraqui, conducted both services in St. Luke's church, on Sunday, and delivered two most inspiring sermons. Canon Smith also made fitting reference to the brass communion rail, which is to be placed in the church, in memory of the rec- tor's wife. The speaker paid warm tribute to the many fine qualities of bers of the congregation to contribute 'something towards the memorial so as to share in it. There was a large congregation both "morning and evening, and the choir rendered ap- propriate music.

Wesley Me- gaw amplified his refusal to take up the challenge issued - by Lindsay Crawford to meet him in public de- bate on the Irish question, by the following statement: "This man Crawford has challeng- ed me to a debate on the'irish ques- tion.
