Under the Bernardo system the home has paid farmers for keeping the chiM- Ten at school. There was a wage trust fund which was efficiently ad- ministered for the children.

L 7 [ [ MS THRESHED 43 YEARS Record of Charles Ryan, Wolfe Island--Fair on 26th and 27th, Wolfe Island, Sept. 18.--Thresh- ing will shortly be completed. 'Phe winding up of this season will com- plete the forty-third fall of continu- ous threshing for Charles Ryan, he having used in years gone by, the old time horse power, later steam, hav- 'ing at present one of the most up to date outfits on the island. A number of farmers here thresh- ed this year as high as three thous- and bushels of oats, & few still high- er. They are selling at thirty-three cents at the store house here. / It costs four cents a bushel to thresh the above. Soft coel for threshing purposes ranged from twelve to fif- teen dollars a ton, binder twine for harvesting cost fifteen dollars a hundred pounds. It is not hard to figure out, how the farmer stands at such prices. If the product which he has to buy, was on a level with what he has to sell he would not complain but such is not the case. | From two to four thousand Dusnels | and this' wag unanimously 'carried. |, Percy Borland, one quarter ton of| of oats per day, is being taken in at | the warehouse here. 2 There is not much hay moving at present. There 18 very little saje tor| it. The echoo! fair which was held | on Friday last, was a great success. | The number of motors and people | on the ground showed clearly the in- terest taken in the event. The root and vegetable display was excellent. The cooking certainly did credit to the girls. No. 6 school won the first | prize in school parade. To Miss Hel- ena Goodfriend belongs the credit as teacher. The hitching and driving contest for girls was won by Miss Viola Greenwood; for boys by Mast- er G. Woodman. The township fair will be held here on the 26th and 27th. The dir- ectors are untiring in their efforts to make it a success. . Nelson, the ten year old son of Nelson McLeferty, was badly scalded | last week. His sister was canning fruit and while in the act of Lfting the boiling fruit off the stove, it was accidentally upset, the boy receiving the whole contents, The remains of Mrs. Michael Ryan were interred here during the past week.
