The boys now appear in white flannel trousers, white silk shirts with black bow ties and red black blazer coats. Grimsby people were especially pleased with the selection made by Mr. Sparks, in picking the Grimsby hockey and sporting colors for the blazer coats. _ A four-year-old boy was left by his parents or guardians at Grimsby Beach, Dominion Day evening, ap- parently being missed in the hurry of the homeward trip.

In our' report of the trials and trib- ulations passed through by The In- dependent in order to give the public election news, on Monday night, June 25th, we told how "Bobby" Farrell and his radio set saved the day. Many people, especially the older genera- tions, thought that we meant Robert Farrell, sen., not knowing that his son Vivian, the owner and operator of the set, was called "Bobby" for a nickname. . It was not Robert Far- rell, who pulled this paper out of the hole, but Robert's son, Vivian. The garden party and dance scheduled for last Thursday night at Smithville, was rained out, and will be held this Friday night on the fair grounds. The Norton's orchestra, of Grimsby) will provide the music for dancing.

While not entirely out of the. ex- perimental stage, it is expected that the utilization of western methods and ideas in the handling of Niagara peninsula fruit will improve busi- ness conditions materially this season, and the local and Dominion officials concerned are not stinting expense or effort in their desire to give the sys- tem, a thorough trial.

Similarly, plums, which artrto be made a specialty in the west- ern sales programme, will be dis- patched in 4-basket crates. “There is a huge market for greengages and damson plums in the west," Mr. Law- ler said. "Properly packed, they are ready sellers." . Tuesday-Are yung frend frum Boston went a swimming with us fel- lows today. But we aint got much use for him We have voted him a Sissy.

While this does not imply what is usually known as "facing," the need for rejection of any immature fruit, and careful arrange- ment in the box, will be emphasized. Smaller boxes, of the pint size, are being advocated, so that the straw- berries at the bottom of the container are not crushed by the weight of those above them. Similar packing im- provements are being recommended in the case of raspberries. . Thifsday--Pa has changed his place to by gasolean. He ast for a J4 gal- lop today and the fellow sed.
