There were carrots, raâ€" dishes, lettuce, beets., etc., all of the finest size and appsarance in the samâ€" ples thus presented to nctice by Mr. Brewer, and the specimens tasted even better than they looked. Indeed, so much was The Advance impressed by these samples of what the North could do, that this paper ten years ago said: "The North Land is unexcelled for growing vegetables and garden stuff of special excellence.

"Her many friends will regret to know of the serious illness of Mrs, A. Gagne and wishes will be sincere for her early and complete recovery." ‘"This week the Hollinger Stores buildings on Third avenue are being reâ€"painted and reâ€" decorated on the outside, which will add to the appearance of one of the main streets of the town." *"*Sympathy will be extended to Mr. and Mrs. Pouâ€" lin, Mattagami Heights in the death on Tuesday morning of their lit:le daughâ€" ter, only three months of age." "There was some dissatisfaction in the Timâ€" mins Citizens Band, some criticism beâ€" ing made of the bandmaster. The question was taken up at the mee.ing of the band on Monday. Dr. McInnis, About three thousand people attendâ€" ed the picnic at Monteith on August 2nd. In addition to the usual picnic rreasures there were addresses by Hon. Manning Doherty, Minister of Agriâ€" cul:lure in the Ontario Hayrack, Hon. R. H. Grant, Minister of Education, Geo. W. Lee, Col. Martin, Col. McLaren, Major Mac Lang, M.P.P. for this riding at the time, A. M. Dewar, and C. M. Laidlaw. , _ It is interesting to note that ten years ago there was talk of the secesâ€" sion of the Ncorth from Old Ontario. This was due to the fact that the FParâ€" mers‘ Government seemed to ignore the needs of the North and to treat repreâ€" sentations from this country with scorn. The feeling here became quite bitter in regard to the matter and the idea of the creation of a new province met with far more favour than it would today. The Advance ten years ago poinied cout that while the moveâ€" ment for secession was at first venomâ€" cusly opposed by The Cochrane Northâ€" land Post, that paper later came around to favouring the proposal. The Post referred to the "attitude of the Governâ€" ment in trying to extract the last cent out of industrial develortnent in the North," and after referring to the neâ€" glect and indifference shown the North Land, admitted that secession must be considered seriously. Of course, the idea of secession had not:hing to do with any feeling of disloyalty. The North was simply demanding and insisting upon a square deal. The Government replied in effect that this was imposâ€" sible. "All right," said the North, "then we‘ll go on our own, inside Canada, but as a new province." As soon as the Government began to show a fair inâ€" terest in the North, the talk about secession died away. Special mention was made in The Advance ten years ago to the excellent record made by the Schumacher public school in the entrance examinations for 1921. Congratulations were given to Miss Annie E. Scott, the principiil of the Schumacher school, the pupils and the people in general, on the remarkâ€" able success achieved. Out of 24 pupils writing on the entrance in four years from Schumacher all but four passed. Three of the youngsters were only eleven years of age. The Advance had also complimentary reference to the Scuth Porcuryne school where efficiency also seemed to be the watchword. The Advance ten years ago noted that again an aeroplane was doing service in the North Land in connzsction with the forestry work of the Dominion Governâ€" men‘t. The work was in connection with damage done to trees by insects, the infected trees being sprayed from the air. C. E. MacDonald, J. E.

The first annual regatta of the Timâ€" mins Citizens‘ Band was held at the Mattagami River on July 27th, 1921. T; proved a very striking success ‘in every way. The programme for the day was a very attractive one, including all kinds of waller sports Music by the [‘oand during the afternoon added to the pleasure of the occasion.

Then Mcâ€" Nab let Parsons in and made a home run himself for the Mili‘s first inning. Rudd decided he could do that too and made a home run when he got to bat; Crozier also made the home plate. In ‘he next innings Mason‘s foul was caught by Fell. Timlin fanned and Campbell went down at first. Doran struck about umpteen fouls but did at last get started and romped around the diamond.

On Tuesday evening the Dome FoOotâ€" ball Club met the Cornish on the Dome field. As the Cornish failed to bring their full number of registered players with them the points for the game were really given to the Dome before the game started. P. Larmer acted as reâ€" feres and the were:â€"Cornishâ€" goal L. Youlton; backs, S. Hooper, H. Hsoper; halfâ€"backs, L. Harris, Hitt, G. West: forwards, Wellington, W. Hooper, Southcott, P. Toms, R. Taylor. Dome â€"goal, Rowe; ‘backs, Blair, Foster; halfâ€"backs, T. Blair, Robson, Doran; forwards, Mitchell! Rudkin, Ron Jones, IJ. Whyte, Gardiner. The Dome doâ€" minated the play throughout. The 'visitors had the disadvantage of the isun in their eyes in the first half. Afâ€" i ter a series of plays mostly from centreâ€". sfield towards Youlton a play from T. Blair to Rudkin, to Mitchell failed to tally. Then Mitchell tried again and centred the ball to Jones who registerâ€" ed the first tally. Within three minâ€" utes Jones repeated the trick when Whyte gave him the pigskin. Next time Jones faced that goal Youlton came half way down the area to meet him. The next tally was on a play of Whyte to Gardiner. Southcott missed one of the best chances the visitors had when with a full view of the net he kicked too high. The play was more even in the second period ai first. Youlton made a good save from Jones but the next time t was Rudkin who got past him off a corner kick from Mitchell. Rceoson gave the ball a feroâ€" smell thg defeéAal OI YJ score in closelyâ€"contested game with plenty of thrills. Clark and McLean were the battery for the winners and Fell and Rudd for the losers.
