the price would stand to the end of this week in view of the fact that some fanners cant get any kind of an offer you ship them in to the wholesale with out a quotation and they stand around several days and finally you receive a slip indicating a sale at a sickening price stated another farmer cauliflower just now are paying well at around s2 to 250 a dozen or an average of 10c each fear here too was expressed lest the market becomes flooded in a couple of weeks cauliflower are delicate to handle and cannot stand in the field after they should be cut or the color will be lost and the

leach explained but i havent decided yet which i will provide for old or young mrs leachs husband had formerly conducted a cartage and express business at port credit this old hotel property stood vacant for probably fifteen years in fact residents could not just recall how long the place was neglected until mr frank pace of toronto came along and purchased it a couple of years ago he announced that he would convert the substantial building into an apartment house at a time when housing needs were worse even than they are today almost com pleted and fully occupied with tenants mr pace decided to sell however frank pace has left his mark on the ballantrae hamlet for having done something that one wonders was not accomplished long ago by some builder or enthusiastic business person a really good structure stood there idle over the years with apparent opportunity for someone to step in and make a good business turn frank pace saw the opportunity and at tne same time solved the housing problem for at least a few families 1 found that it was not possible for me to continue driving back anil forth from my duties in tor onto said mr pace and the only j thing to do was to sell the place to someone who could live right there and develop what he considers an opportune business i the old hotel is an historic spot seventyfive years ago when the i foaming suds were dispensed in tall glasses to quench the thirst of the j traveller and local resident whit- church council held many of its meetings in the place records indicate that threequarters of a century ago or thereabout a crowd of haymakers coming in from sur rounding fields one evening enroute to play ball against vivian farther north dropped in twenty strong and before the guzzlers had their thirst quenched they drank a whole barrel of beer if it proved to be one of the big tankers so common in the early days there must have been a lively ball game played later at vivian where a good diamond existed immediately north of geo mccormacks home there is noth ing to say whether the pitcher from ballantrae formed part of the gang that lapped up the suds for if he was then just how he would be able to do
