WARM WEA (HER HELPED CROPS Owing to the warm weather dur- ing September, growth of fall wheat and the newly seeded meadows was good, especially in the eastern and northern parts of Northumberlana County. In this district more fall wheat than usual was sown this sea- son, due to the fact that the grain crops wdre (harvested earlier this year than last. Notwithstanding many prophecies to the contrary, tu corn crop turned but fairly well, and silo filling has been quite gen- eral of late. The fine weather of the last week of September and first week in October gave tne silage corn a chance to mature, and a bet- ter quality of ensilage is a result. CONVICTS DRINK BEVERAGES : place in Almost a sensation was caused at the Portsmouth Penitentfary at! Kingston on Friday, it was A yesterday, when several convicls broke into the steward"s storerooms and stole a quantity of extract of lemon, using it as a beverage, with | the result that four of them re- quired medical attention. Friday was an official holiday for the officers at the penitentiary owing to the facet that these employees of the Govern: ment were given only one day's hol- iday when the Dominion Govern- ment proclaimed a general holiday of two days for the celebration of the Diamond Jubilee of Confedera- tion in July of this year and still had one day's general holiday com- ing to them.

Comic sketches, STRABISMUS, (SQUINT OR CROSS- EYES) Part 4 _ Copyright 1926 By C. H. Tuck, Opt. D. - The foregoing articles explain cer- tain cases which are also cantribu- tary factors to a case of much great- er dimensions and which in some cases is impossible to permanently control. This is cross eye, squint or Strabismus. One of the greatest handicaps to the future happiness and prosperity of a child is to be allowed to grow up with uncorrected Strabismus or squint. It is harder for any person so handicapped to obtain a situa. tion, harder to do business and hard- er to mix in society. This condition usually commences at the age of two nr three years or as soon as the child learns the valve of clear vision. The causes #re many and various and the result is the normal relation between accommod=- tion and convergence being disturbed and the weak fusion faculty cannot right the conditions and double vis- fon ensnes, The eves may deve te un, ong ar in. and comfortable vision is obtain- ed at the expense of the deviating eve and the image in the deviating musical numbers and "recitations" |eve in srnpreseed or disrezarded and occupied a prominent place on the program. Possibly the most conspic- uous number on the entire bill was that entitled "Behind the Lines." It was by the "Leadswingers' and the number was arranged by the venerable Fred Doheny. It brought laughs galore from the large audi- ence who gave - the performers rounds and rounds of applause, Comedians of war.day fame were jmade a hit with the crowd, which oy the way enjoyed their clay pipes and tobacco to the fullest extent, was "The Army in Full of Irish- Mother" by L. Corp. Rich. In ad- dition to giving a wholesome vocal rendition of the gumber the artisi put plenty of pep in his steps, In the finer items on the bill, Sergt. G. Brown, rendered as a solo, assisted on the piano by Bands, Hainer, "O Riah" and "Oh It's A Lovely War," Art at working the parallel bars was given by Lieut, Fred Hardman and Corp. C. Brown. Both these men showed themselves to be thorough masters at the game and they went through their stunts with perfect ease. Following the skit depicting the instruction school by Harold Luke, hot dogs and coffee were served as lunch, During the refreshment pe- rfod the band rendered pobular numbers. The following was the program: ' Opening songs and choruses, H, F. Russel at the plato, Al. Hamil. n, Song Leader; Chairman's Re.- ks; The Company Sgt.

Mr, Stewart made the solemn: prediction that the next world war will start on May 28, 1928, and will continue until Sept. 16, 1936. He based his prediction on the sym- bolism of the Great Pyramid, com- bined with what he termed prophe- tic forecasts of the Bible, and he asserted that the war would be ac- companied by violent convulsions of nature, fires and earthquakes. Eng- land, he said, and other countries, with the "Port of Israel," will emerge" victorious, but Russia, as- serted the prognosticator, will be 'wiped out entirely. presided, in the absence of the dowager-Coun- tess of Dadnor, who is President of the society.

ALLEGED BRITISH SPIES ARRESTED IN RUSSIA Moscow, Oet. 17--The Chief «og the Political Department announces the arrest of five alleged British spies, whose activities, he declares, have been mainly directed against the life of War Commissar Yoros- biloff and his assistants.
