All were - unanimous in claiming that grains, especially the mixed classes were very good. Roots, es- pesially turnips, could not have beén favored with beiter circumstances and conditions then during the past few days through the heavy rains. Fruits, while not as plentiful as they might be, are of good «quality. Potatoes, generally speak- ing are excellent in quality, yet poor in quantity, there being a pour yield inasmuch as the separate hills 7,000 MEN AT BORDER: MAY LOSE JOBS Windsor, Oct. 7--Seven thousand Border Cities men and women are in grave danger of being thrown into the ranks of the unempoyed with- in less than two months.

An emergency meeting of the chamber's Immigration Com- mittee has been summoned for Mon- day to form definite plans for ac- tion. BRIAND ASKS FOR NEW SOVIET ENVOY Rakovsky no Longer Persona Grata in M. are con-erned. Threshing and fall plowing are .going along nicely. While thresh- ing is practically over there still re- mains the odd farmer that is await. ing the visit of the threshers. An other week or two will completely do the trick. Fall plowing is about half dore and this will take several weeks yet. W. A. Dryden, well known Brook- 1in farmer, while adverse to max:zg an pstimata as to the yield per acre of mixed grain stated it was good. It might vary he claimed from 50 to 70 bushels. Corn in some localities is mot as big as i} might be, but generally speaking the other root crops are good. Fruit has experienced only a fair season. The harvesting season could not be more ideal. 'Potatoes Good, But Few That the potatoes this year are of excellent quality but of slightly poor quantity was the opinion of William Hepburn. In speaking to the Oshawa Daily Times in regard to general crop conditions. Te informant stated he just finished taking his potatoes out of the ground during the »ast week and while he found they were in ex- cellent condition as regards qualuny, there were not so many to a hill, He believed the general yield, how- ever, would proye sufficient. Estimating that the acreage yield of mixed grain would run approxi- mately 50 bushels, Mr. Hepburn was somewhat below the estimare given by another farmer. Locali- ties would 'have much to do with the situation, though, and this es- timation might not be so far out. Farmers in this section do not spe- cialize in their grain crops and the majority of them go in strongly for mixed graing. The season on 'the ~whole has been pretty well and the Times informant spoke very optim- istically in regard to the root crops. "The heavy rains of yesterday and Thursday night will do them a great deal of good," he said. The water 'soaked in deeply and the land in general is in a pretly moist condi- y n, thus assuring the roots, es-| sdally the Lurnips of] plenty of Pave. This month, October, ir the root crop's favorite month and they will be in the soil for anothe: three weeks away. Threshing throughout that terri. tory will be all finished in abou! two weeks as there is very little of it remaining to be done. Silos are being rapidly filled, claimed Mr. Hepburn. While apples, and other fruit are not as plentiful as they might be it was the opinion of Mr. Hepburr that the severe hail storm which passed over this section of the prov ince early in June, materially de- creased the season's crop by fifty per cent, What fruit three is, how- ever, is 'of a fairly good quality. Grain Yield Good Estimating that the yield per . acre of mixed grain would run as high as 70 bushels, Stanley Bagg of R.R. No. 3, stated that the. yield in this connection has been ex- ceptiomally good jJhis jyear. Con- ditions, in his opinion, have beer: ideal. In making this estimation, however, Mr, Bagg pointed out that many yields would go over 'this amount and in some cases they would be below it. He believed though, that he had made a con- gervative estimate. Root crops and garden produce, while he does not grow a great deal of the latter himself, are doing very, well und while the season for these, will soon be over, conditions ar h xe been Juvorabty witk Paris M.

The recall of M. Rakovsky, am- hassador to France, by the Moscow Government, has been expected for several days. Owing to the delay ind because of reported interviews wiih the French Minister was hav. 'ng with Maxim Litvinoff, vice For- sion Minister at Moscow, the French Government decided to press its wish for the appointment of a new Soviet ambassador. Rakovsky has been charged with hav'ng advocated a revolution by the workers of the world in incit- ing the iroops to rise against all ~apitalistic governments. The Wrench; Cabinet at a meeting at Ramboufillet 'a few days ago de- cided to request Moscow to appoint a new ambassador, but disclaimed iny desire for a break with Russia.

Mr. Bagg, also concurred with nother Daily Times informant in hat the fruit crop, especially that »* anple sand pears and some of the small fruits such as plums, was ue- creased by about half by the heavy hail storm that passed through this section early this Spring. Threshing is making good pro- gress throughout that district and in about a fortnight all the threshing should be cleaned up. There are only several odd jobs remaining to he comple'ed, The heavy rains of 'he past day and a half have held 1p threshing to a certain extent. although the rains did plenty of rood to the root crops.

RUSINESS CHANGES OF IMPORTANGE W. A. Dewland to Have ar Attractive Store in Engel Block In Keeping with the industrial changes that are being made in the outer sections of the city, thé main business district of Oshawa is also un ing considerable improve- mens. Not only are streets being paved and sidewalks being improv- ed, stop signs being erected and gen- eral traffic conditions becoming more complicated all the time, but merchants of the various main streets are likewise improving. Dur- ing the past fortnight or so, several important merchants have changed their business locations. Notable among the 'moves' is that of Glass Brothers who are now located in their store at Simcoe and Richmond streets, in the Kohen Block. This corner has been virtu- aly transformed by the owner of the hlock who made extensive im- provements in order to satisfy the regnirements of Glass Bros. These credit clothiers were formerly locat- ed on Bond street. Ar a result of their change Glass Brothers not a considerable increase 'a business activities and they are in a much better position to accomo- date their cliental than ever before. The public is invited by the manager, Mr M. J. Furlong, to visit and in- «pect the store at any time. Mr. Furlong, who came to this city about a year ago from Toronto has had a world of experience in ladies' and gents' ready-to-wear lines and his advice will he given most ap- nrecinhlv at anv time.

Without monotony, however, in few of their prospective occupants 'hose love of home, as with human- ty in general, is one of the most 'ndfvidualistic of sen'iments. Roy H. Bishop of Oshawa 2nd Toronto. one of Canada's most d's- tinguished industrial arghiteys. was given the task of drawing un plans which would meet the condi- tions outlined. Mr. Bishop, accordingly, prepared what might be technically deserib- od as the Six Master Plan Scheme. That is to say, there are six master plans of houses .each distinct from the other both in basic coception and treatment. But the peculiar value of these lans i§ that they are capable of al- most infinite variati in a minor vet important sense, hile, in their =lements, retaining' the factors which make it possible to stamp each with authoritative individuality. Of the entire 50 houses contem- plated, no two will be exactly simi- liar Arrangement on the streeis set aside for General Motors hous- ing development also carries the variation thought further. It is planned to erec: "the stucco and brick houses in double alternation. Thus, there will be two houses of stucco and two of brick. The stucco houses will be of dif- ferent color combinations; the brirk houses will be differentiated by dif- ferent texture of bnick in differ. entiated patterns of bricklaying. Plans may be reversed leaving the Llapproach on the right side of some and on the left side of others. With the plans approved. the next step was to engage a contractor. Of nine competing, the firm of W. HW. Martin and Company, Toronto, was successful. W. H. Martin and Company has had wide experience in industrial housing work. They were in the thick of the Dominion-wide effo:t f 1919-20 to relieve the post-war housing shortage. The "contract was awarded on August 16, and ten houses are al. ready completed and permits issn ad to erect another ten. A general invitation is extenuea by W. H. Martin and Company to the public to inspect the completed "ouses -at any time. The houses on Vary street, in 'particular. are pruo- ibly most convenient for those de- siring to see the new houses and their home-like interiors, LEVINE FACING GOVERNMENT SUIT Washington, Oct. §---~--Government action to recover approximately $500.000 in connection with war contracts faces Charles A.
