farmer auctioneer old elm had its share of iron east enders lament destruc tion of landmark near entrance to cemetery d o o n o its in the feed the large elm tree which stood within 50 feet of the gate way to the cemetery on what is known as the cemetery lane was cut down last week by randolph spofford who resides in the frame house within 25 feet of the stately old tree mr spofford tenant on this pro perty maintained that large pieces of limb wood fell from time to time and as it was right on his doorstep he viewed the situation with alarm the question was referred to coun cillor ross brown as the tree stood on the public roadway mr brown came to the con clusion that the tree was un safe i think it must have been struck by lightning as large limbs were dead although the trunk was still sound said mr brown who said he hesitated for days ere he could consent to felling the old landmark m t leavens who owns property adjacent to the roadway where the elm stood says he was never consulted in the matter and was disappointed to learn the tree had been felled he complained to the reeve but the tree was down and as the law permits council to remove a tree shown to be a menace to the public thematter appears to be closed a sort of post mortem by east enders was held at the trunk of the old elm after it came down arthur yake de clared there is everything from horse shoe nails to logging chain links in the old trunk and the saw that goes into it will be minus many teeth bill yake son of arthur yake was willing to wager there are four or five kegs of nails in the tree and as a lad he helped to drive scores of them it was a favorite meet ing spot for the boys 40 years ago and a popular past time was driving iron of one sort or other into the trunk the tree was at least a hundred years old if the friendly old elm is really mourned as it appears to be we hope it will induce action on the part of council cemetery commission or horticultural society to plant two more trees in the same region e n o lower losses faster growth the marmill way customers report splendid results this spring from marmill chick starter why not get your chicks off to the right start with

the ice of a lake 50 miles from yellowknife nwt and had to hike five miles to camp he was flown to an edmonton hospital rural places going dry by next december the num ber of communities in united states which will be dry as far as the sale of liquor is concern ed will be 10000 there are five states which now prohibit dis tilled liquors and there are 3- 500 communities in these dry states the rest of them are pretty well scattered and re ports indicate it is in the rural sections that the dry feeling is on the way up any community can have local option form of prohibition if it votes for it and that is the way it is being done there has been no campaign in a general way and those with a knowledge of the situation say the number of people who were being killed on country roads had something to do with it figures also revealed more teenage youths in trouble and the financial benefits from liquor taxes were found to be too vague people in the rural districts had to drive some miles for their liquor and they generally start ed home with a load under the belt and after that came the accidents many of them fatal that is put down as the main cause for the changed public opinion there are now 8500 dry spots and the prediction is that by the end of the year the annual banquet mi prod the annual banquet of mark- ham and scarboro district no5 and 6 of the toronto milk
