Of this number 183,990 arrived at ocean ports, and 89,659 from the United States.

Crown Prince Constantine wars in personal command, and received a baptism of fire. The Greek troops showed great courage. Their losses were small. The Turkish troops re- tired toward Sarandeporo Pass, where the main forces had concenâ€" trated. The Greeks occupy all the heights of the north of Elassona, and a decisive battle is imminent. A despatch from Belgrade says: The Servian army, under command of the Crown Prince, has captured Ru-Iva. Heights, 8. strategical posi- tion to the south of Bujanoraiz, some miles below Vranya. An ofii- cial report from the general stafl at Nish says that the Servians have takenfill the trenches in the Turk- ish territory around Vranya, and that the Turks have been driven back across the Morava Valley. TOOK 100 PRISONERS. A despatch from Sofia. says: The Bulgarian forces operating against Adrianople have driven the Turks back to the forts forming the outer line of the defences. They took 100 prisoners. The general advance of the Bulgarians continues. Sever- al of the positions on the heights were taken at the bayonet point. In the villages the Turks are seizing Bulgarian oflicials and holding them for ransom.

The names and addresses of ex-members are pouring in from all parts of Canada. and United States, and those who have not yet sent in their names and addresses to the Royal Grenadiers, Toronto, should do so at once, and thus avoid being over- looked.

A despatch from Lindsay says: The large mill belonging to the Baker Lumber Company was toâ€" tally destroyed by fire late Satur- day night. The blaze was first no- ticed by the nightwatchman, who sent in the alarm,“ which was promptly responded to by the fire- men. Before the latter arrived the fire had made great headway and their effortsgfailed to save the build- ing. ‘Besides the building and ma- chinery, 10 or 12 thousand pieces of barrel headings were consumed. The mill, when in operation, em- ploys seventy workmen, and was one of Lindsay’s most successful industries. .The loss is estimated at about $20,000; insurance about $9,000. The mill will likely be re- built during the coming winter. He Sometimes Gets Sick Like 0t[|er People. Even\ doing good to people is hard work if you have too much of it to do. “About three years ago as the result of doing two men’s work, at- tending a. large practice and look- ing after the details of another business, my health broke down completely, and I was little better than a, physical wreck. V An overworked doctor tells his experience: “I suflered from indigestion and constipation, loss of weight and appetite, bloating and pain after meals, loss of memory and lack of nerve forcé for continued mental application. “Some Grape~Nuts and cut. ba- nanas came for my lunch one day and pleased me particularly with the result. I got more satisfaction from it than from anvthing I had eaten for months, and on further investigation and use, adopted Grape-Nuts for my morning and evening meals, served usually with cream and a sprinkle of salt or sugar. “My improvement was rapid and permanent, in weight; as well as in physical and mental/endug'ance. In a word, I am filled with the joy of living again, and continue the daily use of Grape-Nuts for breakfast and often for the evening meal. Eur road the abovs letter!

GRENADIERS’ RIB-UNION. A D OCTOR’S TRIALS SAWMILL BURNED. Workman Jumped From Car and Was Crushed to Death. A despatch from North Bay says: I‘sodor-e Levesqui, teamxster, em- ployed by the Superior Construc- tion 00., was killed on Thursday when the Algoma. Central work train on which‘he was riding collid- ed with a. bull lying asleep across the rails. Levesqui jumped from the car in which he was riding, and was crushed under it when it top- pled over with the impact. A despatch from Ottawa says 5 A bulletin issued on Wednesday by the Census and' Statistics Office covers the crop conditions in Can- ada for the month ended Septem- ber 30. It states that during this month disastrously wet weather continued to prevail over most parts of Canada, especially over the Provinces of Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba. At September 30 large areas of grain, both in the East and West, were still either un- cut or were exposed to the wet in stook. Much damage has been caused by sprouting, and in the North - West Provinces second growth has in numerous instances caused uneven ripening and conseâ€" quent lowering of grade. \_ Frosts during September in those provinâ€" ces did some damage, but as a. rule only late-sown crops, including flax, were seriously affected. In parts of Southern Ontario the ground “is so wet that many farmers have abandoned the sowing of Fall wheat for next year. Saskadwhewan farmers are paying up to $4.75 for threshers. Disastrous Wet Weather Prevailed in Quebec, On- ~ . tario and Manitoba. The new estimates of yield ob- tained from correspondents at the end of September confirm general- ly the previous estimates for most of the crops, but inasmuch as very little threshing had been possible and large, areas of grain were still unharvested, it is fe ed that the final estimates after mpletion of the threshing. may turn out lower than the figures now given. For Spring Wheat the estimated production is 188,816,600 bushels, as compared with 189,904,500 bushels last year. For Fall wheat the esâ€" timate is 16,868,700 bushels, comâ€" pared with 26,014,000 bushels last year, the total estimated wheat production being therefore 205,6§5,- 300 bushels, as compared with 215,- 918,500 bushels in 1911, a. decrease CROPS BADLY- HURT BY RAIN The estimates of yield published a. month ago could only be regardâ€" ed as of preliminary value, because in consequence of the bad weather and late season hgrvesting opera.- tions had made so little progress. TRAIN HIT SLEEPING BULL. This map indicates the manner in which Greece, Bulgaria, Ser- via and Montenegro are attacking Turkey. On the north-west, the Montenegrin troops captured several thousand Turks; and are about to invest. Scutaria, which is pouring over the, border, On the east the Bulgarian army is making its way towards Adrianople. The Turkish fleet threatens to land Turkish troops in the rear. On the south the Greeks have captured Meluna Pass,-and are ready to invade Mace- donia. It will be seen that Turkey is assailed on all sides. MAP OF THE BhLKAN WAR FIELD 73mm»; {'Of 5 per cent; The yield per acre is 21.08 bushels for all wheat, as against 20.77 bushels last year. Oats show a, total production of 381,502,- 000 bushels, compared with 348,- 585,600 bushels last year, the yield per acre being 41.39 bushels, com- pared with 37.75. Barley is esti- mated to yield a. total of 43,895,100 bushels, compared with 40,631,000 bushels last year, the yield being 31.00 bushels per acre, against 28,94. The total production of rye is 3,- 086,000 bushelsv/ against; 2,668,800 bushels in 1911, the yields per acre being 20.75 and 17.41 bushels re- spectively. Of oats, barley and rye increases in total production as compared with last year represent percentages of 9.8 and 15. The es- timated production of peas is 4,202,- 400 bushels, beans 1,106,800 bushels, of buckwheat 10,924,100 bushels, of flaxseed 21,143,400 bushels, of mixed grains 17,940,900 bushels, and of 00:1} for vhusking 14,218,000 bushels.

Of these crops Wheat, oats, barley, and flaxseed are above, while peas, beans, and corn for husking are below the average qua- lity for either of the two previous years. Rye is slightly below the average. Flax is well above the quality of both 1911 (75 per cent.) and 1910 ('73 per cent). Root crops continue to show ex~ cellent figures as representing ave erage condition during growth. The highest are potatoes, 90.12 per cent.,’ and the lowest corn for fod- der, 80.63 per cent, the last named crop has improved by over 4 points during the month. . Owen Sound Girl Died Two Weeks After IIe Passed Away.

She was to have been married in the near future to the late Alex. Mc- Ewen, the manager of the store. who died. of typhoid less than a fortnight ago.
