They were bodies of American dead, Then it was that Scottish fishery men put out through the gloom to save life if they eould; apd if they could not save, at least to' recover the bodies of the dead, By islet and eliff, by bay and tide-race they searched, and brought the broken hodies of the lads from across the seq to be buried in their village cem- eteries, And since they had no Am- erican flags to spread over the dead, the Scottish fisherwomen made them flags as best they could. They took white sheets for a background. Then tearing their own red underskirts in strips, they sewed them on the white sheets to make the stripes of "Old Glory," and under its folds they hore er ------ now on the market all through the Dominion 'from Halifax to Calgary at prices within the reach of all, The change in marketing Niagara Peninsula fruit has been largely brought about by the organization of the Niagara Peninsula Growers, Limited, with headquarters at Grims- by, Ontario.

"Well, so do I, We'll go see what Grandpa Goosey has today." There were many strange objects in the window of the Old Curiosity Shop, but Nurse Jane happened to see something that looked like a bundle of tin fifes, such as the anim- pends upon the mattress, Decide NOW---while this splendid club offer is yours--while you can get a Free Mattress Cover with every purchase of a | Marshall Sanitary Mattress: id CO these soldier laddies of the great. re- this 'year every crop has heen a |know.--Lineoln Stay, z public to their graves, 3 The Americans are a warm-heart- | ed people, Before the preacher was done men as well as women sat with howed heads and flowing tears, and sobs broke the hush of the sacred place, Blood is thicker than Water The kindly deed of kindly fisher folk had disarmed all the suspicion fostered by those prompted by ill. will and forgetting every unkind thought they were ready to grasp with the warmth of brotherhood the outstretched hands across the seas, We may have our differences of temperament, differences of meth- ods, differences of political and econ- omic policies.

' Uncle Wiggily took home a lot of wax in a box he made of bark from a birch tree and, reaching his hollow stump bungalow, the bunny gentle man put the wax on the stove to melt. Then he set out the old-fashioned candle mold, putting a wick in each hollow tin tube, When the wax is melted," said Unele Wiggily, "I will pour it down HINK how convenient this Moffat Coal and Electric Com- bination Range would be! Cook with 'electricity in the summer, when you want your kitchen as cool as possible, Then use coal in winter, when you want your kitchen cosy, This Moffat com- bination is really a superb range. al 'boys used to toot and blow when they had a Fourth of July parade. 'What's that?" asked the muskrat lady. *That," said Grandpa Goosey, "is an old fashioned candle mold. Those things that look life tin fifes are hol- low tubes of tin. In the olden days the animal housekeeping ladies would put a twisted wick of cotton | down in the middle of a tingtube, | Then they would pour melted wax or tallow down the tube, and, when or talloy down the tube, and, when it grew cold, and mardened, there] was a candle that could be lighted." | "Oh, let's get this candle mold, | Uncle Wiggily!"" exclaimed Nurse] Jane, "It will be quite an old fashioned relic to put with our spin- ning wheel." "I'm willing," said the bunny gen- tleman, so the candle mold was bought and taken to the hollow stump bungalow, where it was set in the hall, near the fireplace and the old spinning wheel, Whenever company came Nurse Jane would tell how in the olden days melted wax or tallow was pour- ed into the hollow tin molds, around a wick, and eandles thus made. One day, when Nurse Jane was down at the five and six cent store buying some new lace curtains for the coal bin, Uncle Wiggily looked at the candle mold and after twink- ling his pink noe ssaid: "I think I'll make some candles for Nurse Jane, She is going to have a tea next week for Mrs. Wibblewob- ble,-the duck lady, and Mrs. Twisty- tail, the pig lady. Some candles to in the molds. When it cools and har- dens I will lift out the candles for Nurse Jane." Well, everything would have been all right if Uncle Wiggily's paw had- n't slipped when he was pouring in the melting wax, But it did slip, down he fell, the melting wax scatter- ing all over the floor, and Uncle Wig- gily sat down in puddle of it. Only that he had on thick winter trousers he might have been burned. But. anyhow, the wax quickly cool- ed and hardened and it held Uncle iggily fast to the floor, just as if he had sat down in glue. | '""Help! Help!" he called when he found he couldn't get up. *Come and get me loose, somebody!" Just then Nurse Jane came back from shopping. "Why, Wiggy! What has hap- pened?" she asked in astonishment. "I tried to be old-fashioned and make you some wax candles, but my paw slipped and I sat down in the warm melted wax," the bunny an- swered. "Oh, dear! I'm so sorry! never| mind, Wiggy. [I guess gas or electric | lights will be better than candles." | said Miss Fussy Wussy, as she pried the bunny loose with the fire shovel and scraped the dried wax off him | with the bread knife. Then he didn't try to pour any more candles, but] still the mold made quite an orpa-| ment. | So if the pussy cat doesn't try to put the dog's collar on the rag doll | and make her look like a jumping | light and set on the table will look jack, you shall next hear about Uncle | Wiggily and the fire tongs. | BLOOD AND WATER At 4 p.m., August Sth, the British cruiser Raleigh struck a shoal in the Straits of Belle Isle. By 8 a.m. the next day the American warship Ol- ympia was speeding north to her help. Without waiting orders from Washington, Rear-Admiral McCully changed his whole plans for the manoeuvres of the American train- ing squadron, and hastened to lend help, or if that were not needed, at least sympathy. It is but another of those inter: national incidents which go to show that "Blood is thicker than Water." It is more than sixty years since an American naval commander used that phrase and made it a proverb. Seeing the landing-parties from 2 British fleet caught in the shallow: of the low coast of North China, and exposed to a muderous fire from the Chinese, he manned his boats, and sent them to the help of the British, giving as sufficient excuse for this breach of meutrality that "Blood is thicker than Water." In the Spanish-American War the British got their opportunity. When Dewey sailed into Manila Bay to at- tack the Spanish fieet, a German squadron lying there protested and threatened to join the Spaniards. They sent a message to the British commander suggesting joint action against the Americans. The reply of the British commander was that if there was to be any joint action, his ships id be found r d alongside of the Americans. The Germans found it advisable to re- main neutral, and Dewey won the battle of Manila Bay. Now it is again the turn of the Americans to show to the world the close ties which bind the real men of the two nations together. - Unfortunately there are people who through igmorance, malice, or for petty personal ends are guilty of the crime of stirring up jealousies and misunderstandings betwgen these two great kindred mations. Such a period of mutual suspicions followed the close of the Great War. The enemy-alien element, the de Valera type of Irish (who are now making wreck of their own land in a frat- ricidal warfare), and certain types of demagogues had succeeded in ar- ousing a bitter anti-British feeling even among otherwise geood-inten- tioned American citizens. In he midst of this campaign of vilification the Rev. John Kelman preaching to a crowded audience in a great New York church) told the following true incident of the war. A convoy of American and British loaded with Americar troops was being shepherded through the submarine zone by British war- ships. In a wiolent gale off the | | south-west codst of Scotland some | of the transports were unable to | keep their position between the lines | of protecting destroyers, and one of th. was torpedoed by a German | submarine. Other vessels picked up | many of the soldiers from the sink- | ing transport; but still more went | | | for everyone interfere with our essential oneness of spirit and ideals. And be who would sow discord and stir strife be- tween these two great English-speak- ing commonwealths is an enemy of God as well as an enemy of man- kind.

This spot was the Ni- agara Peninsula. Niagara Peninsula fruit has long been known for its fine flavor and quality but like many other good things, it was not always available who wanted it. Not because the Niagara district did not grow sufficient fruit, but because it was not always possible to distribute the fruit so that all localities 'were supplied.
