A recent issue of "The Gold Hunter and Farmers‘ Journal‘" published at Caledonia, Queen‘s County, Nova Scotiza give a report of the sixtyâ€"first wedding anniwersary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Allen Martin, of Queen‘s County. Mr. and Mrs. Martin are the ngarents of Blake and Osborne Martin, of T:mmins. Friends of the family in this part of the North will extend sincere. good wishes to the couple who have spent over sixty years together in the happy married state. ‘The report in "The Gold Hunter and Farmers‘ Journal" was writen by "One Present," and reads as follows:â€" "On Sunday, July 23rd, Mr. and Mrs. Allen Martin enjoyed having the most of their family at home with them on their 61st wedding anniversary. ‘"They were married at Clementsport by the Rev.

A "hole" is a tin cup in the centre of a green. A "green" is a small parcel of grass costâ€" ing about $1.98 a blade and usually located between a brook and a couple of apple trees and a lot of "unfinished excavations." The idea is to get the golf ball from a given point into each of the 18 holes in the fewest strokes and the greatest number of words. The ball must not be thrown, pushed or carried; it must be propelled entireâ€" ly by about $200.00 worth of curiousâ€" looking implements especially designed to provoke the owner. Each implement has a specific purpose and ultimately some golfers get to know ,what that purpose is. They are the exceptions. After each hole has bsen completed the golfer counts his strokes. Then hs subtracts six and says, "Made that in five. That‘s one above par. Shall we play for 50c on the next hole, Ed ?" After the final 18th hole, the golfer adds up his score and stops at 87 when he reaches that number; he then has a swim, a pint of gin, sings "Swest Adeline" with six or eight other liars, and calls it the end of a perfect day!

It is probably the only known game a man can play as long as a quarter of a century, and then discover that it was tco deep for him in the first place. The game is played on carefully selected grass with little white balls and as many clubs as the player can afford. These balls cost from 75¢ to $2.50, and it is possible to support a family of 10 people (all adults) for five months on the money represented by the balls lost by some golfers in a single afternoon.

A byâ€"law to this effect was given its three readings and passed, after the question had been discussed from all angles and considerable opposition had been voiced by Councillor A. D. Mcâ€" Arthur. Some years ago the same steps had been taken and present memâ€" bers of the council who had been memâ€" bers at that time stated that it had resulted in considerable sums of money being collected which had been draggâ€" ing along. Mr. McArthur claimed that it was working an injustice on people who were receiving relief from the muncipality through no fault of their own, and this was acknowledged by other councillors, but it was held that there were many others who could by a special effort, pay up their taxes in time. It was pointed out that only about 35 per cent. of the taxes had been collected so far this year and the council felt justified in taking all posâ€" sible steps to speed up the collections."

Send coupon for free copy : WHAT 30,000 MOTORISTS TOLD US Tin Cans and Their Value to the North Tin Can has been a Great Boon to the Miring, Railway Construction and Provpecting Businesses in the North Country. Hail to the Tin Can! "The tin can has been a great boon to the mining, railway construction and prospecting businesses,. The lowly conâ€" tainer, noted in settled communities for its proclivities for cutting the feet of bathers and accumulating in ratâ€"inâ€" fested unsightly dumps, serves a really important function in the bush. It brings to the worker in the hinterland various perishable foods to relieve the diet monotony of bacon, beans and bisâ€" cuit. Fresh vegetables, fruits, meats, butter and desiccated forms of the first two named foods are made available in far distant places and one has to travel a long way into the bush to get beyond the tin can frontier. "This observation recalls a conversaâ€" tion the writer once had with Milton Carr, oneâ€"time mayor of Cobalt and picneer of that camp. Milt was a highâ€" ly successful merchant and participator in mining affairs in his day and even after his retirement to Barrie he was often to be found ranging the northern mining areas. On this occasion he had been attracted to Cobalt by an elect.on campaign, one of thcose periodical affairs where a Liberal unsuccessfully contested the Conservative control. To get his mind off the painful resultâ€"for Milt was a deeply dyed Liberalâ€"he reâ€" lated a story of a recent trip to Alaska. He described in typically picturesque language the mountains, tcrrents, glaâ€" ciers, bears, mosquitoes, sunsets and Northern Lights. He told of the gradual penetration of his party into the interior of the country. They travelled, he said, far up the mountains into the North and to emphasize the remoteness of their final objective he asserted: "Say, we got so doggone far into those mountains that we passed the last tin can!" as "a very present help in time of trouble." Had it not been for haywire lots of things in the North in the early days would have "gone haywire." A blotter once issued by The Advance described haywire as the national flowâ€" er of the North. Now, along comes a gentleman with a panegyric on "tin cans" and the large part they have played in the developâ€" ment of the North. Isn‘t it the truth! Haywire is too firmly established in the regard of the pioneers to fear compet}iâ€" tion or feel jealousy. There is lots of roomm for affection and awe for the good old tin can. Years ago a station on the T. N. 0. was named ‘"Tin Can" in honour of the great food purâ€" veyors of the North. The column, "Grab Samples," in The Northern Minâ€" er last week paid the following tribute to tin cans and made the following reference to the notable and noble part the tin can has played in the story of the North :â€" "One of the most common tinned foods taken into the bush is tomatoes, which seems odd on first consideration, as a case of this vegetable is a grievous weight on a portage and bulky in a canoe. Yet this tinned vegetable is inâ€" variably part of the food supply of the survey or prospecting party. There is no doubt a gocod d.etary reason for the fact. One odd thing about a tin of tomatoes is that it is always cooler than the surrounding atmosphere. On a hot day in the bush, with the temperaâ€" ture in the nineties, a tin of tomatoes seems to be about twenty degrees coolâ€" er and there is nothing pleasanter than to drive an axe into a can and to let the contents trickle down one‘s throat, Just why tomatces should enjoy a lower temperature is a mystery but many bushmen have noticed and commented ‘on the fact. "In the earlier days of railway conâ€" struction and mining the local Indians were cons.derably employed in freightâ€" inz and portaging. On sections of the Transcontinental long supply lines were established, with Indians contracting for the delivery of provis.ons. The work involved at certain places a series of portages of varying length and a common sight was a line of Indians toting huge loads. The natives qui.ckty learned of the delicacies in tinned form and developed a scheme for losing some of them. In fact, they cached canned goods along miles of trail. When overâ€" wearied or very hot they would stop. poke around in the underbrush alongâ€" side the trail and emerge with a can of pears, peaches, blueberries, tomatoes or corn and quickly absorb the contents. By the Indians, too, tcmatoes were favoured. It was sometimes suggested by the white men in charge of freightâ€" ing that the natives were caching the tinned food for future use but th‘is was ncot often the case. They simply wantâ€" ed to have a supply handy to satisfy their prodigious appetities. Canned goods could be cached under water, of course, and fished up later for trapping operations and some instances of this were authenticated. It was not too difficult to upset a canoe in a handy place and plead inability to salvage. on ons mm ie on en n es ns on en en mm n o n mm q mm n e n io on mm omm oo "Of all the things that go into the bush in cans the least respected by the users are desiccated vegetables, which come in large, light bulky, hermetically sealed tins. One of their few virtues is that they make a mighty looking load without much weight. The cooks disâ€" like them, so do the men, who seem to regard them as a sort of fraud and when a bushman takes a dislike to anyâ€" thing it is a most pronounced and tenâ€" acious one. "The most useful purpose to whicn the writer ever saw desiccated potatoes put was on an occasion when a canoe rammed "deadhead" on a lake in a fog. The only things that remained afloat were big tins of this food. They bobbed around on their corners, less than half submerged, and the canos crew took to them like long lost broâ€" thers. It would have been highly amusing to see the prospectors wrestlâ€" ing with these buoyant tins were it not for the fact that nobody knew how far they were from shore. Fortunately there were more than enough tins to go around and, after the first few minâ€" utes of intense exc:tement, came the realization that there was no danger of anyone sinking as long as the potatoes continued to float. In a short time the crew got together and made an improâ€" vised raft and awaited eventualities. After an hour or so the fog lifted and it was discovered that the shore was only about a hundred yards off, in a direction which the men had not been agreed upon. They all got ashore safeâ€" ly and ever afterwards had a kind word for desiccated vegetables. Had they been obliged to swim for it in that fog and with their conflicting ideas as to the direction of land it is entirely probâ€" able that a number of men would have been drowned, perhaps all of them. "Ancther food that cannot be sucâ€" cessfully tinned, at least to the crit:ical taste of the ‘prospector, is butter. It may be possible to handle this food satisfactorily in containers where there is refrigeration but under bush cond!â€" tions it is not so good. A common exâ€" pression at a bush meal is: "Pass the axle grease!" and indeed the term is descriptive on a hot day. It takes months to become accustomed to the metalliec taste of the oleaginous filuid that emerges from a hot blue butter tin. n en ate ateataate abe ate atuate abe abe abe abe abn ahe o a2e 22e 0 02002005 "No respectable bushman would ever eat canned pork and beans unless to save himself from starvation.

These "howlers" are supposed to be samples of unconscious humour by schcol pupiis in answering examinâ€" ation papers or in the school classes.
