An article headed. “The Anarchist Murder of Police in Chicago" 511888533 that the Chicago or 1887 was much the same in some ways as the city of to-day. The reading matter is equally at- tractive to the reader of to-day. One of the articles deals with railway build- ing in Russia. Russia then had 15,000 miles of railway. but the longest tunnel necessary was 700 yards. The railway speed those days was 30 miles per hour for the fastest trains. One article ex- plained, or tried to do so, why the stars can not be seen by day. A table in the magazine showed the time in various parts of the world when it was noon at Washington, D.C., Toronto is not men- tioned. but the time is given for Man-- treal and Quebec. An article on American commerce with Canada says that the United States exports to Canada had a value of 334.112.252.00 while Canada’s imports into the United States totaled $36,595;- 685.00. The statement is made that “tele- phoning from St. Petersburg to Bon- logne. a distance of 2,465 miles, had been accomplished." \ Powassan Newszâ€"The Nippsinz Junction cemetery was vastly improved last week as the result or the voluntary work done by fifteen men with teams. The Women’s Institute was instrument- al in bringing the men together for this worthy object, and the workers were treated to a bean supper. Some days ago R. F. Wear, of Tim- mins. was kind enough to give The Advance a copy of Frank Leslie's Il- lustraed Family Almanac for 1887, a bcoklet that has been in the Wear fam- ily for 44 years. and the temptation can- 'nct be overcome to note that it is slight- ly the worse for wear. The first few pages have been torn. but otherwise the magazine is in good conditionâ€"much better :han can possibly be expected from any of the present day magazines after 44 more years have passed along. The magazine is profusely illustrated, and though printing had not in 1887 achieved the wonders that i: has in modern times. the illustrations are beat: tifully done. Among the illustrations may be notedzâ€"“Aunaizolis Maryland, ‘ from Horn Pointâ€".he Battlefield of j 1665." "Valenti Day,“ “East St. Louis. Illinois. and t1 Railway Bridge over ‘the Mississippi"; "The Return of the Swallows.“ another postic sketch by a talented arzist: “Arrival of a Gunboat at Inishcotfin, Ireland, with Meal for "the Starving Inhabitants"; “Spring," 2. ,skech by the Russian artist. Broja; ? “Christina, :he Queen Regent of Spain Taking the Oath of Fidelity Before the Cortes“; “Baptism of King Alphon- so XIII in the Chapel of the Royal Palace, Madrid. May 22nd. 1886"; “Pro- meal." a richly coloured love scene; "Easter Lilies"; “Ancient Ship Discovg ered at Brig. Lincolnshire, England"; “Firs: Federal Council of the Austra- lian Colonies, at Hobart. Tasmania.” (a glance at the luxuriant. beards in this picture suggests a reason why wool used I to be associated with Australia in the common mind). “Salem, Massachusetts in 1800"; "Mr. Gladstone Explaining the Home Rule Bill to the House of Com- mons." another very fine display of whiskers, and only two bald heads being visibleythough there may be more be- neath top hats and wigs; “Statue of Daniel Webster at Concord, 1886"; “New Bridge over the Thames at Put- ney, England”; “King Milan Signing the Peace with Bulgaria”; “The French Chemist, M. Pasteur, Experimenting on a Chloroformed Rabbit”; “A Great Game of Lacrosse Played for the Cham- pionship"; “See-Saw," a beautifully coloured child picture; “A Lateen-sailed Ice Ship"; “Assassination of Rt. Rev. Narcisco Martinez Izquierdo, First Bish- op of Madrid-Alcala”; “The Late Sam- uel J. Tilden"; “The Foundering of the Oregon"; ‘His Eminence James, Card;- nal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore”; “View of the Locality where the Chica- go Riot Commenced on May 4th, 1886”; “New Art Museum, Cinemati”; “Mum- my of Rameses 11” “Shooting an Oil Well Near Titusville, Pennsylvania" “Peter Schuyler Receiving the Charter of Albany”; "The Late Abbe Liszt”: "President Cleveland and his Bride, Miss Folsom”; “The Court of Paris, Ex- pelled from France, and His Family”; “At the Flower Show." The illustrations would give interest for hours to the average man or wo- man. The picture of the baptism of Alfonso XIII of Spain is given particu- lar interest by the recent abdication of that momarch. Others of the pictures have historic interest of one kind or another. ‘I‘hene is not. an uninteresting page in the magazine and it is especially inter- esting after the passage of 44 years.

A. Preston says he has been studying the spas on the sun every year since 1920 with his powerfu: glasses. During 1922 the sun was one quarter covered with a jet black, and each year since there have been se- veral small spots to be seen, eleven one year. eight the next and so on. Bug’this year he haS'failed to see a single spot on the sun and he uses a smoked glass fitted to his binocu- lars. He believes the disappearance 0: these spots is. the cause of this summer being so hot and there being so much fine weather. When the spots were there for several summers there was rain all the time. A correspondent writing this week from Elk Lake to The Advance says:â€" Wm. Garvey, of the Ashley-Garvey Gold Mines. was in :own last week on his way home from Tlmmlns. Dan O'Connor was in town las: week from Connaught and stopped at the Stanley Hotel. There he met H. A. Preston, who has kuown Dan since 1902. Mr. Preston hunted moose in Temagami for several years. Dan O’Connor had birch bark canoes to ren; those days. Messrs Preston and O'Connor have met every few years since then. It was Dan and Tema- gami, he says, that made Mr. Preston come north to live for the last 29 years. Sun Spots Indicated Hot Weather This Year TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10th, 1931 The Kiwanis Club has been invized by the Brantford Kiwanis Club to take part in a Western Ontario Golf Tourn- ament at the Ava Golf Club, Brantford, on Wednesday, 16th September. The main even: is the club competition for teams of four for the Spalding trophy. There Will be the usual prize list with some added features of interest. includ- ing a prize for the worst score and some surprise prizes. The Brantford Club members are making every preparation to give the visiting Kiwanians a good time. TIMDIINS KIWANIS CLUB INVITED TO GOLF TOURNEY Mm Emmimm Oshawa 'I'imeszâ€"Now in his 84th year, Thomas A. Edison, the great in- ventor and scientist, has been compell- ed to give up laboratory work on ac- count of ill-health. It is doubtful, nay: almost certain, that he will never return again to his work of research, and his retirement. is a distinct loss to humani- ty. A meeting of the execfiive of the Cornish Social Club will be held at No. 2 Laug‘ier avenue to-morrow (Friday) evening. September 11th. at 7 pm. The annual general meeting of the Cornish Social Club will be held in the Hollinger Recreation hall on Tuesday of next week, Sept. 15th, commencing at 7.30 pm. The election of officers for the ensuing year will be among the chief i:ems of business for the meeting. All members are requested to attend this meeting. Friends will be admitted at 9.30 to the social evening which will follow the annual general meezing. social ev ents and the open dance on Saturday will be up to the usual high standards. Members of the club are ad- mitted free, while there is a nominal charge for others as will be noted by .he advertisement elsewhere in this issue. .he Cornish Social Club. The event will be held in the Hollinger Recreation hall on Saturday of this week. Sept. 12th. from 8.30 to midnight. Music will be provided by the Club Royal or- chestra. For years past the Cornish Social Club has been no;ed for its fine First Open Dance of the Cornish Social Club Announcement is made this week of the first open dance for the season of ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF CORNISH SOCIAL CLUB Mr. Wilson’s exhibit includedzâ€"pota- toes. carrots, beets, Swede turnips, on- ions. caulifiowers. tomatoes (ripe and greeni, peas, wax (beans. dwarf beans, green rhubarb, pumpkin, Hubbard squash, cucumber (outdoors). leztuce, vegetable marrow, (green and white Wortz varieties), scallop squash, Brus- sels sprouts. celery, cabbage (several varieties). After the show Mr. Wilson kindly donated the whole collection of fine vege:ables to the Children's Aid Shelter. Mr. Tinkess had on equally impressive collection and peepde in general spent a lot of their time admiring this collect- ion of Timmins-grown vegetables of the finest quality. There were 34 varieties in Mr. Tinkess’ collection, these includ- ing the finest in the followingzâ€"purple top, white and Swede turnips, 2 kinds of peas, cabbage, beets, lettuce, runner beans, dwarf beans, broad beans, wax beans, spinach, green onions, parsnips, carrots, red radish, white radish, citron, tomatoes (green and ripe), Hubbard squash, crook-neck squash, vegetable marrow (green and white), frame cu- cumbers, outdoor cucumbers, potatoes, sca110p squash, celery, winter radish, endive, etc. A curio that Mr. Tinkess had on display roused much attention and many guesses as to what it was. It was a winter radish that had much overgroWn and assumed odd shape and appearance. Two specially interesting collections of vegetables were the displays of veget- ables by I. P. Wilson, Golden City, and M. J. Tinkess, Timmins. Mr. Wilson took first prize for the best display of vegetables, and Mr. Tinkess was second, with Jas. Moyle and W. Irving tied for third place. All these displays were remarkable advertisements for the vir- tue of this country as a market garden, all the produce being of highest class. After being idle since November 20, 1930, the newsprint mill of the Abitlbi Power and Paper Co. in the Sault start- ed at eight o‘clock this morning. Two machines were engaged in the manu- facture of newsprint and the rema'inav er of the departments in the mill were running in accordance. The whole display of vegetables on Monday may well be taken as a strik- ing proof of the possibilities of this immediate district in the growing of vegetables bf high standard. Although only the two machines are running it is expected that the third will go into operation about the middle of the month. The fourth will siart as soon as the SUpply of ground wood war- rants such a move. Some 400 men were engaged at work in the mil} last week. The men have been taken on in gradually increasing numbers ever since the announcement that the mill would open. The past Toronto Mail and Empire 2â€"Al Cap- one's ability to rescue a kidnapped man when the police were unable to do so suggests that if he could be induced with his gang to take over the preserva- tion of law and order in Chicago there would be a sharp decrease in crime. The general showing of vegetables a; the flower and vegetable show on Mon- day interested and delighted all. As will be noted by the prize list, elsewhere in this issue there were splendid ex- amples of practically every class of vegexables from beans to potatoes and back to vegetable marrows. UNEMPLOYED AT SAULT STE. MARIE RETURNED TO WORK Another “first“ for exhibit at Tim- mins was in the corn class, there being several specimens of com shown on Monday, some of it being very credit- able. The first musk melon to be shown at a Timmins show was also on display on Monday. I; was from the garden of Mrs. W. Irving, 216 Elm street, north, and was a splendid specimen. In the fruit line one exhibit that won very special attention was a basket of elegant crab-apples, grown and ex- hibited by Mr. Savard. 156 Pine street. north. This was the first time that crab apples had been exhibited at the Timmins Horticultural Show and the display won special notice. Crab apples have been grown here previously bu: the ones from Mr. Savard's trees were the finest seen in this part of the North. Settlers in the district have had crab apples growing in past years and there may have been some shown at the fairs near here, but this was the firs: exhibit of this fruit. homeâ€"grown, to be made at Timmins flower and vegetable show. Those who visited the exhibition 0: the Timmins Horticultural Society a. the skating rink building on Monday were amazed and pleased at the remark able display of vegetables shown there. or course, the flowers were notable for their beauzy and profusion but this has been usual at the flower show and did not perhafis impress to the same extent that the notable display of vegetables did. \ (‘rab Apples Grown in Timmins on Dis- play.
