The Canadian Lumberman in its last issue says :â€" The loneliness for land we love Is a keen and burning smart, But the loneliness for water Is a pain to break the heart. So what care I for city sounds, And what are her sights to me ? I used to wach the ships go out, And the ships come home from sea‘! There‘s never a sight in city streets, Though they be wide and gay, There‘s never a sight in city streets Like a great ship under way. With the staunch pride in the heart of her As she follows the running trails, Her rudder lost in the wreathy foam, And the west wind in her sails. And there‘s never a thing that I can see § In all this crowded place, Like a dancing schooner homeward bound With the sunset in her face. But onee I used to be Where I could watch the ships come in And the ship go out to sea. Many here who come from *‘‘the tight little island‘‘ and other from the Maritimes will be interested in this little poem by Virgiria Lyne Tunstall: I know this town is a fine town, WHERE YOU WATCH SHIPS COME HOME FROM THE SEA Thousands have seen the film and still the great demand for admission keeps up. The feature players in the cast are Clara Bow, Charles Rogers and Richard Arlen. The many thrillâ€" ing scenes,showing battles in the air and on land, are all worked into a tensely interesting plot, which comâ€" bined with the historical and scientiâ€" fie value of the production, have conâ€" tributed largely to its success. ‘‘WINGS‘‘ takes the audiences back to the aviation of ten years ago, when that science was learning the costly but ‘beneficial lessons of the World War. â€" The part played by daring fighters above the clouds in machines which were not far removed from the experimental stage is one of the most stirring and amazing exhiâ€" bits of courage and bravery that the human race has ever known. FAMOUS PICTURE, ‘"WINGS‘" AT GOLDFIELDS, AUG. 2ist No picture has ever created such a sensation as ‘‘ WINGS,""‘ the thrillâ€" ing aviation film. The picture is most opportune when the whole civilâ€" ized world is enthusiastic about aviaâ€" tion as a result of the notable achieveâ€" ments of transatlantic flyers. Mr. Manley Miner, son of Mr. Jack Miner, the noted nature lover, gives the following particulars regarding ‘his father‘s bird sanctuary at his farm at Kingsville, Ont.:â€" From 10,000 to 15,000 wild geese have spent several weeks this spring. on the Jack Miner Sanctuary, néar Kingsville, Ont., waiting warm weaâ€" there before proceeding to their nestâ€" ing grounds in the North. This | number constitutes a record, being 25 per cent. larger than that of any preâ€" vious spring. The geese ranged beâ€"| tween the sanctuary and Lake Erie, where they rested in dense masses on the open water, flanked by a ‘sprinkling of whistling swans and |ducks. Often the big birds floated | securely within a hundred yards of ‘shore and not a half mile from Kingsville‘s business section. With a hoarse gabhbling, the geese would rise by hundreds from the lake for the sancetuary in wedges that spanned the whole sweep of the sky. Their return was just as spectacular. Invariably they left their snug berth behind Miner‘s home in the morning returning in the afternoon with raucâ€" ous cries that ‘couid be heard for great distances. A dinner of corn alâ€"| ways awaited them. So large were the hosts of geese! this year that they overflowed into|‘ the surrounding fields. A corn field near the sanctuary often contained several â€"thousand, whose blended so well with the drab tones of the earth they could searcely be distinguished. _ Others cireled. over the territory almost continually, sailâ€" ing down to join their comrades sleepâ€" ing among the stubble, or pecking at the ground for whatever they might glean of the crop. In the sanctuary proper the geese sometimes darken the water. _ Their food this year has cost Jack Miner from $3,000 to $4,000, the corn having been served to them by the wagonload. It was shoveled into the fiveâ€"acre pool by a crew of men. Jack Miner attriâ€" butes the increase of the geese to their concentration rather than to any augâ€" mention of their numbers. nes m e o. in mm n mm mm use oo o uy ce omm mm m smm o Corn Alone Costs 000.
