Fletcher Ex- changes Pulpits With Whitby Minister * (By Staff Reporter) 'Whitby, Aug. 29.--Rev, Dr, W. P, Fletcher of the Christian Church, Oshawa, preaching in Whitby Bap- tist Church last evening took as his subject the Temptations of Jesus, the story of which is found in the gospels of Matthew and Luke. The facts of the temptation were known to Jesus only and must have been told by him to the disciples and were not to be taken literally but as a parable, like most of the Mas- ter's teaching, The common tempta- tions' are those which are not evil in themselves but which cause us to fall short of the best that is in us. Few of us are tempted to kill or steal, and we are told that Jesus was tempted like as we are. Jesus had just left home and must decide how to spend his life to serve God to the best advantage. The first temptation was to serve the mere bodily needs of the people by giving them food, changing the stone into bread, The second was to fall in with the popular notion of the coming of Messiah and an- nounce his advent by some spec- tacular thing, by throwing himself from the temple pinnacle. The third was the temptation to devote his life to a struggle for power and fourand three respectively, who sailed supremacy, ushering in the King- Week on the Anchor-Donaldso; dom in with force, going $0 gee our other grannie Many of us fall into the first A one saw them safely aboard the pitfall, serving the physical side of pet Ashenis Haileybury, lite.

Que., Aug. 28--What is Montreal, believed to be the biggest illicit still ever seized in Canada was discovered on Saturday by special preventive offi- cers of the Customs and Excise De- partment at 4270 Frontenac Street, in hte cost end of Montreal. The still had a capacity of 12000 gallons and was valued at $40000. The still was 'hidden in a sub-cellar which, besides the machinery necessary for making alcohol, contained ten large vats each with a capacity of 1,200 gal- lons. There was also found 100 gal- 'ons of pure alcohol, which is estima- ted to be 65 per cent, overproof. Two men who gaave their names as Charles Dermont and Bazile Martin of Montreal, were arrested on the prem- ises. AUTOMOBILE RIVALRY A battle to the death between Ford and General Motors is neither likely nor desirable. Modern business men are too shrewd to allow their rivalries to develop destructive tendencies. While a combination of the Steel Cor- poration with Du Ponts and General Motors would appear to be too formid- able for even a man of Ford's wealth to tackle, without misgivings, it must be remembered that the Detroit mag- nate is credited ith having a surplus of 700 million dollars, of which 400 millions is in St: Which probably means that he will not be easily forced to take second place in motordom let alone be eliminated as a competitor. BOBBY JONES WINS NATIONAL AMATEUR ' GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP Minneapolis, Avg Z 28--DBohby Jones yesterday won the nationaal amateur golf championship for the third time in four years, bowling over the last oh- staclei nhis path, the veteran Chick Evans, 8 up and 7 to go, to defeat the Chiecagoplayer. The Atlantan, who re- cently won the British open champion- ship with a record-breaking 285, club- bed the Minkahda course into complete sub-mission, scoring a 67, five under par, in the morning round, when he had Evans six down, and stepping out in the aftrenoon, when he scemed for a time #0 have lost his fine touch, in 36, one over par, for the first nine. Going to the twenty-ninth green seven down and eight to play, Chick had a short putt for a half, which would have left the match dormine. It was raining and hte twelfth hole was nearly 400 yards away, so no one, not even the loser, seemed to mind, when Chick suddenly walked over to Bobby and congratulated him. The gallery for a few minutes did not know what to make out of this,as Evans had not putted, but he had used up a stroke by inadvertently moving his ball as he took his stance. The game Evans looked good in de- feat, for he made a golf match of it in the afternoon, after he had gone to luncheon six holes behind. He knew that no man could come from six holes back to win from Bobby Jones, but he kept trying, and at. one time in the afternoon round had cut the lead to four holes, getting two back in the first five holes in the afternoon. MISSISSIPPL | FLOODS TOLL Washington, Aug. 28.--More than 225,000 head of horses, mules, ecat- tles, swine and nearly 1,300,000 poultry were lost in the Mississippi River flood area which covered 4,- 417,000 acres in 124 counties or parishes, as a result of levee breaks and swollen local streams during May, June and July, according to a summary of estimates of the Mis- sissippi flood area issued today by the Department of Agiiculture. TOBACCO GROWING The farmers are now faced with the problem of growing: tobacco that will match the best in quality. It is not merely enough to have a luxuriant growth and harvesting a good pound- age per acre. Unless the tobacco from this district is of the highest quality, the ers cannot expect to advance beyond the mediocre stage. The greatest care is needed in the cultivation of the plants and in the preparation of the soil. The mere amateur cannot hope to raise a good crop. He must study his land to know whether he should sow black, burley or flue-cured. He must pay the utmost attention to topping, suckering and harvesting. The curing of the leaf requires his constant care. The Protestant churches of America lost half a million members in 1926.

SMITH'S FALLS LIGHT : SEEN FOR €0 MILES Kingston, Aug. 28. -- Local citizens at Kingston Mills on Thursday night were somewhat surprised to note the faint reflection of a light from the eastward and noted that the flash ap- peared at regular intervals of ten seconds. Those watching the light for some time were informed that this was the reflection of the powerful Con- federation searchlight at Smith's Falls being used for the celebration. It was unbelievable to many of those present at the Mills and who saw the light that a reflection could be shown from as far as Smith's Falls, despite the fact that Thursday night was: very clear, FLOCKS CULLED IN ONTARIO COUNTY Demonstrations Held on a Number of Farms By Department Poultry culling demonstrations were held in a number of farm flocks throughout Ontario county hy the lo- 'al branch of the Ontario Department MISSIONARY WORK INWEST DESCRIBED Archdeacon Rix Tells Story of Labors in Prince Rupert, B. C. (By Staff Reporter) Whithy, Aug. 2% The story of missionary work in a dincese whose area is almost one-twentieth of the total area of the Dominion was grippingly told by Venerable Arch- deacon Rix of Prince Rupert, B.C. administrator of the diocess of Cal edonia, in his sermon in All Saints parish hall yesterday morning. Ref- erence to the great extent and rg sources of the province was made by the Archdeacon in preface to his poitrayal of the history of ithe diocese, which comprises te north- ern half of Ur.tisn Columbia, and perpetuates in its na.ae che origin al name of the province, New Cal- edonia. The work of the church wa: begun when the commanuer of ai expedition to settle war among th nacives, toucned by their miserable condition appealed to the Churci Missionary Society in kKnpgland.

July and August are about the best months to do culling especially for the amateur as every hen, if she has laid at all will have done so previous to this time and the important points Jooked for will show up more plainly than any other time of year, Agricultural Representative, W. M, Croskery, reports that over 1000 farm- ers and poultry keepers have attended these demonstations in Ontario Coun- ty during the past three years. Many of them have become expert and prac- tically all do some culling in their home flocks. A new bulletin No. 329 just put out by the Ontario Agricul- tural College, Guelph, gives some ex- cellent pointers on culling. The bulle- tin as wel as Bulletin No. 305, Dis- eases of Poultry, should be in the hands of every Poultry owner in the County, They can be obtained through the Department's office at Uxbridge. Worms a Serious Pest in Many Flocks It was noticed by Mr. J. F. Fraa- cis, Poultry Demonstrator from the College at Guelph, when Zong through the county last week with Ag- and round worms. The symptoms most noticeable were. a weak unthrifty ap- pearance, feathers ruffled, comb and wattles pale and in yellow legged breeds, the legs were pale. This con- dition showed up particularly among this year's chickens. Treatment--A gallon of a mixture of wheat and oats, to which is added a small tablespoon of concentrated lye, is cooked slowly for about two hours and allowed to cool. The birds are given their ordinary feed 'one morn- ing and then nothing else until the next morning, when they are given as much of the lye as they will eat, with plenty of water. Follow this with one and a half or two pounds of Epsom salts per hundred adult birds twenty- four hours after the lye.

SUBTERRANEAN LAKE IS DISCOVERED IN FRANCE (By British United Press) Paris--An underground river a mile long leading to a subterranean lake in an immense cavern the roof of which glistens with stalactites like huge dia- mond needles, has been discovered near the village of Izaut-de-I'Hotel in the Haute Garonne Department in the South of France. The village derives its water supply from a copious spring issuing from a 'left in the mountain at an altitude of 2500 feet, near which are a number >f natural wells, one of which has been ised from time immemorial for dis- »osing of the carcasses of dead cattle, In order to determine whether the well into which the dead cattle are hrown. contaminated the village -wa- er supply, a local official, M.
