awaiting the announcement of the actual cost of the new pavement in stouffville which of course js known within a few hundred dollars and the manner ill which the money will be raised the delay is caused by the engineer not compiling his figures and until that is done the amount will remain a mystery although it is expected to be approximate 62000 with the county paying an additional 50000 although the entire work was done under the order of the toronto york road commission it is expect ed that stouffville will issue her own debentures for her share of the money but every effort will no doubt be made by the recsvc and the local council to have those de bentures endorsed by the com mission or the county council failure to do this may mean a loss of possibly two or three thousand dollars in the sale of the issue the more endorsement there is on such papers the better the price that can he obtained from any bond house stouffville being only a small municipality its bonds will not sell at so good a figure as those of a larger and more widely known municipality hence the endorsment by york county would thus add to their value whenever a high school is erected the county council endorses the bonds and we understand they have also endorsed ponds for road building this favor has never been sought before by stouffville for at the time the school building was erected the debentures were sold locally at par it is said that more than half the present issue could be sold loteally but unless the entire amount could be disposed of in this manner it would not he profitable

an elm tret- just two and one half miles south of the village of stouffville and just west of mjongoila tho foreign flag from this conspieious place so irritated the loyal citizens of the community that an indignation meeting was called under the tree which was itself a landmark ways and moans were discussed to have the flag removed and as the tree was largo and the limb high the only wo ways suggested were to cut down the tree or for some good climber to scale the trunk and remove the offending stars and stripes robert curtis the village merchant at mongolia then young man offered to make the attempt provided someone would precure a large union jack to put in the place of the stars and stripes the flag was provided the climb successfully made and the hearts of those loyal citizens wore soon cheer ed by the sight of the old union jack flying from the limb where the offending flag had flown to prevent any attempt bein made to cut down the large elm tree a goodly number of large spikes were then driven into the trunk and as this old tree still stands the spikes remain though grown over by many years growth do you know this tree old timer mysterious threshing fires flannelette

a fire that suddenly bursts into a conflagration at threshing time make it difficult sometimes to get adourate testimony concerning the start lof tihe blaze where it originated and what happened immediately after it was first noticed however numerous reports this year that fife was bel ched out of the blower mouth and that fire spread from the machine like a gust lof superihoated air tend to confirm the opinion that many of the disastrous fires at thresing time this year iliad their origin in most extraordinary causes and effects whether the fire was first noticed at the mouth loif tihe blower or in the mow or stack where the dis charge firom the blower fell is in effect immaterial in either case one would look for tihe cause in the machine ior in the bloiwer and en deavour to ascertain what the con ditions are that contribute to such disastrous results the fact that fires have been materially reduced in the northwestern states where the law requires all machines to be grounded is rather convincing that electrical discharges cause dust explosions and when such occur it is not unnatural that they should first ibe noticed at the mouth of the blower or in the stack moreover the fact that a majority of the fires have burst forth when the machine was just starting or when the floor was being cleaned up tends to con- ivert one tjo the dust explosion theory so far as these fires are caused by static electricity they may justifiably be termed mysterious but usually there are circumstances and con ditions that cause any investigator to conclude that carelessness was the underlying cause dry as this year has been in avestern ontario and will scarcely a day passing when barn fires were not reported threshing on lfiindreds of farms went pierrjly on without oven a laddor or a ibuicket of water ready for an emergency with the old hand flail there was a minimum of motion hut ever since fast revolving machinery was used for threshing there has boen a fire menace

least somewhat alarming and the liighly inflamm able matches that are carried nowa days itrp dangerous in the extreme there is always q fire hazard and t lie utmost precautions should be taken to guard against it the provincial fire marshal will unquestionably have the support of the mutual and line fire insurance companies in drafting legislation that will impress upon property owners the seriousness of the fire menace and the extreme necessity of eliminating the hazards that exist on the mlodern farm not only at threshing time but throughout the 52 weoks of the year why not
