the place where he died just 59 years ago his father having pro cured for him 50 acres as ho did for all his sons to some of them he gave 75 acres in consideration that they pay a set sum to their sisters john was a good farmer and a real type of early settler his early days in his new home hark back not only to horse and buggy times but to those days when farmers in this dis trict hit the trail for toronto when they need realize cash for their pro duce the local iore keepers only offered trade it was his custom to set off at 2 oclock in the morning for toronto transact lousiness and return by midnight it wast so bad exclaimed mrs hoover to the tribune for he had a faithful team and he could sleep much of the way home and the horses always brought him back safely he didnt mind it she explained shortly after his marriage he united with tho christian church the explanation for this apparent turning away from the mennonite faith of his forebears is explained by itlie fact that the mennonite ser vice in those early days was always preached in dutch and his young wife couldnt understand a word of it so out of deference to her he itook up with the christian people who were quite well organized he became a deacon and a faithful worker and follower just as he might have done had he remained in the old faith he is survived by his wife who was horn a mile and a quarter north of goodwood and who is a sister to mrs john watson mother of ce watson principal of stouffville public school there are also two children edward hoover on tho homestead and mrs isaac stouffer of

whether ifcan be financed or not all business men should be vitally interested in the question for a camp of 400 or more boys would be a real asset and their visit would bo repeated from summer to summer citizens in general should be interested in seeing a swimming tank at the park for the sake of our boys every lad should have the opportunity to learn to swim but many parents are not willing for their children to go to the larger places or lakes and so a tank in our park would solve tho matter for all since tho above was written a government department man was in town to look over the situation at the park and promised shortly to make a report on tho pool the con dition of the creek water and the possibility of using it for this pur pose after filtration it was his opinion that a

the poorest in 12 years said j t cassin president of the ontario potato growers association last week late spring frosts and the current drouth are blamed for this tho crop which was promising four weeks ago is now being har vested and a 5 0 per cent crop is being realized he said in some districts not more than onethird of the crop will be harvested immedi ate rains would benefit some of the districts wiliile other sections are practically past any further develop ment much of the vegetable crop iii southern ontario is in grave danger of being destroyed there is serious possibility of a shortage of early potatoes to supply consumer- demands during the next two months and should the potato crop fail there is no alternative through substituting other veget ables at low prices it is imperative in the interests of the consuming public that grow ers protect their crops as far as possible in order to promote the maximum development of the tubers growers should also refrain from oversupplying any market local or city witli immature potatoes stocks to meet the requirements of the next two months are limited rush ing heavy supplies for sale during tho prevailing hot weather
