a ---- EE CADILLAC HAD GREATEST YEAR INTTS HISTORY Production Was Eleven Per Cent. Greater Than in Previous Year New York, Sept. 3--The Cadillac Motor Car Co., recently ended the greatest 12 months in its history and was preparing for still more busi- ness in the next year, H. M. Ste- phens, general sales manager of the company, said recently at the open- ing'of a two-day regional sales meet- ing in the Hotel Astor, Shipments of Cadillac and LaSalle cars in the fiscal year ending on July 31 were 40,965 units, or more than 11 per cent more than in the previous fiscal year, Mr. Stephens said the company's ex- pansion program, started some months ago, was almost complete. In addition to Mr. Stephens, Nicholas Dreystadt, general service manager, and seven other factory ex- ecutives from Detroit are attending the meeting, with distributors, deal- ers, service managers, and salesmen from New York, New Jersey, Dela- ware, Tennessee, Maryland and Vir- ginia. Half of the time of the con- vention is to be devoted to service problems. HAMPTON DISTRICT CROPS VARIABLE Fall Wheat Good, But Other Kinds of Grain Light Hampton, Sept. 2--The ~ crops in this vicinity are very poor, most grain being only half the yield it should be, except fall wheat which is in most cases exceptionally good. Buckwheat also with favorable weather conditions will be good. Apples are more plentiful than they have been for years. Plums and pears are also very good Small fruits such as raspberries, strawberries, currants, and - cherries were quite plentiful. Thimble ber- ries are now in season and are also quite plentiful, although not grown as commonly as other small fruits, Grape vines seem to be almost a thing of the past but there still re- mains an odd vine that seems to be loing its share of fruit bearing. A good crop of roots, such as, urnips, mangolds, cabbages, cauli- lower and other vegetables is anti- sipated. Tomatoes are quite plentiful and show less signs of decay than they rave for some years. Potatoes are in most cases fairly good, with the later varieties show- ing the best yield. 5 fe harvest is about all in, and threshing has commenced. Red clover is expected to be ex- seedingly good if weather conditions prove favorable. Sweet Clover was also good a sumber of silos having been filled with it, while others find the corn to #: splendid ensilage. Some fall plowing has been done, Ur. A. E. Billett, having had his lone by tractor, Livingstone Miller, Solina, operating the machine owned »y Mr. B. Northcott, Zion.

ADDER TRO™ W al KORN WGI S a TH YOUTH ARRESTED AFTER BANK RAID Lone Bandit Holds Up Cashier in East Wyan- dotte Branch Windsor, Sept. 4.--Five hours after he had held up and robbed the East Wyandotte branch of the Imperial Bank of Canada of $735, a youth giving his name as Emer- son Winney, 25, was taken into custody by Walkerville police yes- terday. The greater portion of the stolen money was recovered. Acting on a tip received shortly after the robbery had been com- mitted, police went to a room aut 117 Hall avenue, and placed the youth under arrest. Winney ad- mitted he had held up the bank and showed the authorities where he had hidden $500 of the money. Winney told the police that he had expended the balance for a car. The police also recovered the gun used in the hold-up. The hold-up was carried out single-handed. The bandit shoved in a note to the teller, Robert D.

The extremely wet weather in the spring is primarily the cause of this year's crop here being only about '75 per cent of normal. Fields in good condition and where commercial fer- tilizer has been used are giving aver- age yields, also the later sown crops are the best, : Fall wheat stands out as the best crop of the year here, yielding from 30 to 45 bushels per acre. The acw:- age was not large, spring wheat, half a crop; oats, half crop; barley, half crop; rye, very good, especially, fall rye. Buckwheat a later sown crop, promises well or a good average. Potatoes are average. Turnips pro- mise O. K. Apples, a good crop, and quality on best kept orchards show- ing considerable best. Silo corn is backward, with some reports of corn borer working. Dry weather during the planting season was responsible for making corn rather thin on the ground. Fall wheat shows heavy yields and real early sown oats and barley are practically a failure. Owing to this district being a dairy, Shorthorn and poultry district large quantities of concentrated and coarse feeds will have to be imported. Pros- pects for farmers making good re- turns for the next year are just fair, not good. Heaton, demanding $5,000. The cashier, in the act. of thumbing over a bundle of bank notes, pro- tested. He did not have that am- ount, he said. "Give us what you have then," was the command, and Heaton complied. Lying in the rear seat of a cheex- er taxicab as he fled the scene, the thug escaped a volley of bullets from the revolver of the cashier, who leaped over the counter ot tne cage and followed him out-doors. Heaton fired 5 shots at the speea- ing cab, one of them piercing the side door of the vehicle, missing the bandit by a scant margin. The driver of the cab, Richard Stingleman, who drove back to the bank after letting the bandit out of his car at Pierre and Assumption streets, also was in a warm corner, intimidated by the bandit's gun. He drove away from the hold-up directly through the revolver vol- ley. Stingleman picked up the youth- ful bandit at Gladstone avenue and Wyandotte street, a block distant from the bank. His patron told him to drive first to the bank as he wanted to cash a cheque. Stingle- men had not the slightest suspicion' he told police, that a bank robbery had been contemplated. His first intimation that anything unusual had developed came when the thug raced out of the hank, leaped into his cab and flashing a' gun. order- ed him to drive on and make it quick." FAINTING WOMAN FRACTURES NECK Heat Prostration. Fatal When Head Strikes Step Toronto, Sept. 4.--Falls claimed one life and sent five Toronto peo- ple to hospitals yesterday. + Mrs. Katherine Boland, 58, of 62 Alton avenue, met instant death in the smallest fall of all. She was found dead, her néck broken, under a clothes line at the rear of her home. She had apparently fainted as a result of the heat as she was hanging out a washing and, in fall- ing, had struck her head on a step. In sharp contrast to this small fatal tumble, a man and a girl tum- bled 35 feet to the ground from a balcony at 55 Mutual street, and escaped with comparatively slight injuries. The two are Raymond Sullivan, 22, of 55 Mutual street, and Marion Feweling, 21, of 413 Crawford street. Both are in St. Michael's hospital. The man is be- lieved to have suffered a compound fracture of one arm and the girl in- juries to her back. Harvey Sheppard, 21 Firstbrook avenue, fell 15 feet while working on the Bay street bridge, but his only injury, a dislocated shoulder, was received when he grasped a Lord Privy Seal at St. John Labor Congress, The photograph here shows: Left, Hon. Peter Heenan, federal minister of Labor, and Rt. Hon, J. H. Thomas, Lord Privy Seal of England and minis- ter of unemployment in the new British Labor government, as they appeared at Trades Congress at St. John. and Labor scantling in a vain effort to prevent the fall. He was taken to St. Mi- chael's hospital for examination. Mrs. Rose Bowers, 70, had a hip fractured when she fell two feet down the front steps of her home at 164 Morse street. Her recov- ery is doubtful, due to advanceua age. John Gibson, of 144 Merton St., who celebrated his 90th birthday a short time ago, fell down a flight of stairs at his home but escaped with scalp wounds and the fracture of several ribs.
