ASKS REFORESTRATION SUP- Addressing Ping RY aviation of Women's Institutes in Barrie yes- terday Hon. Wm. Finlayson urged arm women to prevail upon their husbands to reforest at least a ten acre wood lot, preferably with red pine and to plant spruce hedges as wind breaks to the north-west of every house and barn in the county. This latter, he quoted practical ex- perience to show, had been instru- mental in reducing the Winter tem- cratures seven to ten degrees in arm yards. The Government, he said, would supply all trees free, had in fact, supplied ten million last year, The day was not far distant, he stat- ed, when the number would be twenty million, The Minister cited an in- stance of where one hundred acres of timber in Simcoe had recently sold for $15,000 or $5,000 more than the 100-acre homestead across the road, under cultivation for a century and with all improvements, had sold for. Reforestation, he urged, was a real investment, S0TH CHURCH ANNIVERSARY The fiftieth anniversary of the lay- ing of the corner-stone of St. John's Anglican Church at Lansdowne was celebrated yesterday. The Masonic Order took part in this ceremony in 1878, so it was fitting that it should take a prominent part in yesterday's program. - The members of the town lodge, No. 385, AF, & AM. rein- forced by many brothers from Gan- anoque, paraded to the church wheres his Lordship the Bishop of Ontario preached, After a dinner served by the church ladies, the afternoon was devoted to addresses by Bishop Sea- ger of Kingston; F. J, Skinner, M.P.P, of Gananoque ; Mayor W, J. Wilson, Gananoque, Rev. W. H. Towle of The Montrdal Gazette staff; Rev. C. Winter of Picton and Rev. T. Leech of Amherst Island, the lat- ter three being former rectors, The present incumbent, Rev, Brownlie, acted as Chairman, Tt was pointed out by Mr, Skinner that the first pulpit of St. John's Church was made from a hollow basswood tree, which members of the congregation had split in two and installed as a pulpit, The celebration attracted a great number of people to the town. During the afternoon music was sup- plied by the Gananoque Band, On the previous evening the Bishop dedi- cated the church bell and a number of tablets. ENGINEER ACQUITTED J. L. Bradford, engineer of the freight into which the Montreal flier crashed at Dockrill siding on Novem- ber 27 last, was yesterday at Napanee acquitted of criminal negligence. The jury was out for an hour and forty minutes. Judge Lavell in his charge to the jury said that Bradford's ac- tions or failure to act had to be shown as culpable negligence of a very pronounced character. The case, he stated, scemed to hang on the fact that Bradford failed to see that a member of the crew was sent for- ward 'to flag the approaching flier. A. W. Roebuck, for the defence, told the jury that the train had been sent out so overloaded, or so under- powered, that it could not back up. "It is about time they should stop that sort of thing," he said, "The 'matter is not, to my mind, one for a jury but one which should be the subject of an investigation by the Railway Board," Bradford was the only witness called today. Delay in opening the switch at the Dockrill siding caused the train to overrun. He tried to back. The heavy freight with a load of more than 2,000 tons, would not budge. The only thing left to do, he thought, was to run the flagman ahead to stop the oncoming flier. There was further delgy as the brakeman tried to cut the engine loose, He tried three times "to "pull the pin." Bradford had reached for his watch. To his horror, the hrake- man called, "Here she comes." The filer was on them minutes before they expected her, She was traveling 80 miles an hour. "I could not be- lieve it," Bradford said, "I thought she was not then due at Wilkinson." DROWNED MOTHER AND'SONS ARE BURIED AT SAULT Sault Ste.

Passengers on a round-the-world tour who recently arrived 'here told how their ship was the first to call at the island for more than two years. Food and clothes were left with the 135 persons living there. Five of the men came aboard the ship. They were tall and thin and sunburnt, but their most re- markable characteristic was their bashfulness. They twisted the corners of their jackets and strove for something to say. The men, though of different. families looked like brothers, Mail Waits Two Years The island has two tiny neigh- bors, Nightingale and Inaccessible, and it rises from a longitudinal ridge that divides at Atlantic basin into' eastern and western troughs. Its position is 86:7 south and 12.2 west, 2.063 miles from Capetown and 2,875 miles from Montevideo. The nearest land is the island of St. Helena, 1,684 miles away. No postoffice will guarantee that a letter will arrive at Tristian Ja Cunha in less than two years, Five years may be required for a reply. Without postal service, in the path of no steamships plying regularly, the island passes through the years forgotten - by and forgetting the rest of the wofld, Whaling Ships Pass At the end of the last century Tristian da Cunha was frequented by mumerous whaling ships, but the whales have disappeared. No sh¥p goes out of its way to call there and rarely do storm-bound M. | sailing ships put in for fresh water, Year after year, the seas bring only the momentum gathered over thousands of miles and throw up spray on the sands, but nothing more, Tristian da Cunha really is an old volcanic cone rising some 8,- 300 feet above the sea, It may be a vestige of fabled Atlantis, and even now might already be engulf ed in some submarine convulsion with its fate not to be known until some meandering windjam- mer captain fails to find what his chart indicates. May Conceal Pirates This island is claimed by Great Britain, When Napoeon was sent to St, Helena, England took it over, fearing that it might be used as a rendezvous for' rescuers of the Little Corporal, So, on November 28, 1816, five officers and 36 sol- diers disembarked there--probab- ly some captain marooned by pir- atical crew. In its volcanic bowels the island may even guard a pir- ate hoard. No one knows, and treasure hunting expeditions al- ways have passed by Tristan da Cunha, British Garrison Withdrawn The British garrison was with- drawn when the fear of Napoleon's escape passed away. Years later a British artisan, seduced by some unknown enchantment, asked and obtained permission to insta] him- self, his wife, and 16 children on ithe island, This "English Family Robinson" shortly afterwards was reinforced by members of two British men-of- war, ed 25. But the solace of ladies was lacking and the captain of a passing ship was sent to St. Helena for recruits, What his sales talk wag is un- known but he did bring back some women, whose passage the men paid from the meagre potato crop, and the descendants of these still inhabit the island and look like brothers. colony as the years passed and these often preferred to remain rather than he transported home, In 1903 the population had reach- ed 75. Now there are 135 per- sons there, distributed among 20 families, Offers from Great Britain and JAIL BREAKING - BANDITS WOUNDED AND RECAPTURED Chicago, June '14.---<Charles ("Limp") Cleaver, accused leader of the $133,000 Grand Trung rob- ber gang, who escaped from the Wheaton Jail last Sunday, was ar- rested in Melrose Park late this afternoon after he had been am- hed and w ded by several squads of police and Federal agents. Joseph Farina, one of four men who escaped with Cleaver in a desperate jail-break, glso. was wounded and captured. The two fugitives were hiding in a barricade in a slough when the police found them. They dashed into a prairie with several officers in pursuit. Both sides opened fire after Cleaver and Farina had dodged into a clump of bushes. Lieutenant Andrew Barry was wounded in the ear and foot be- fore Cleaver and Farina were over- powered, after they also had been wounded. The arrest culminated an exten- silve country-wide search, begun immediately after Cleaver led his four jail mates im the break for freedom from the jall in Wheaton, another suburb, last Sunday. Pelice authorities had sent out the word to shoot Cleaver on sight, as he was known to have obtained fire: arms when he broke jail, overpow- ering the guards and taking their weapons. * .

Once cereals grew on the is land, but rats from a calling ship destroyed the crop completely and the discouraged inhabitants now concentrate on potatoes, = There are a few apple and peach cattle, sheep and donkeys. Pengu- ins nest at the end of the island and in times of stress the islanders raid their nests. During one bad month two winters ago they col- lected 8,000 eggs and were forced to eat 5,000 of these fish- flavored "man birds." The islanders have a few small boats for fishing. In spits of this and the rains and tempests that wrack the island the healtlf of the population is excellent. The last of the "original artisan's family died recently at the age of 102. Apart from light colds sickness practically is unknown. Between 1922 and 1925 only three persons died, one of these was a newly born gaby and the other a nohagenarian, No established authority exists on Tristan da Cunh Its inhabi- tants Jive in anarchy--in the true sense of the word.

PLEADS FOR PATIENCE London, June 15.--Following the rejection of the new revision of the Church of England Prayer Book by a vote of 266 to 220 in the House of Commons, the Arch- bishop of Canterbury, Most Rev. Randall Thomas Davidson, and the Archbishop of York, Most Rev, Cosmo Gordon Lang, in a state- ment issued tonight cautioned sup- porters of the measure against '"'rash or irregular action," and pleaded for '"'a little patience and for abstention from any angry or unkindly word." The text of the statement follows: "The Prayer Book has failed to obtain full Parliamentary sanc- tion, Some of those who eagerly supported it as a right step on the roadway to orderliness and har- mony, and for a new freedom for active service at home ang 'over- geas, may be led by disappointment or irritation to: advocate forthwith rash or irregular action, May we plead for quietness, for a little patience and for abstention from any angry or unkindly word, "The new responsibility which has been laid upon the Bishops off the Church by tonight's vote is very grave, They are fully alive to it, and will, with the least possible delay, give such counsel and direc tion as may be required, This must needs take time, and meanwhile prayers will not be backing that they may be guided to interpret God's will and purpose for the Church." : 1 a ALL MIXED UP 3) (Brandon Sun) The law assumes you are inno. cent until proved guilty; the pub lic assumes you are guilty and will be proved innocent, i a a i Grass Porch Rugs Grass Porch Rugs in a good close weave with patterns stencilled in various colorings, They come in sizes: 41t, 6in x 7 ft, 6 in. $2.25 Gt. xO ,., 8S ft. x I" ft. ,$8.50 .86.50 COCOA MATTING PORCH RUGS Heavy quality cocoa matting rugs for porch or verandan with stencilled pat- terns in different de- signs and colorings.
