Luke A. J. HUME, Clerk $30 discount must be 8 office on of five IS An unusually large number of pro- ducers at the York Market Saturday morning with attractive displays of vegetables, fruits and flowers greeted the early buyers. Dairy produce was plentiful and the standard unusually high. The demand'for produce was so great that the market committee de- cided to open Tuesday evenings from 6 to 9 p.m. This week the large crowd in attendance bespoke success for the venture. Many customers of the market felt that they could not lay in sufficient supply with the Market lonly operating on Saturday and at ‘the same time did not wish to forgo the convenience of securing first class products direct from the producers. The Tuesday market will give the pro- ducers a larger market and should result in benefits to all classes of the community. The average prices on Saturday and Tuesday were:â€" Peas 6 quarts 35 cents Beans 6 quarts '35 cents Cucumbers 2 for 5cents Cabbage each 5 cents and 10 cents Cauliflower each 5 cents to 25 cents Spinach per peck 20 cents Lettuce 3 bunclies for 10 cents Kohl Rabbis each 5 cents Beets 3 bunches for 10 cents Carrots 3 bunches for 10 cents Small Onions 3 bunches for 10 cents Fruits Raspberries red or black qt. box 25c Currants, red or black 6qts. 75c Gooseberries 6 qts. 75c Apples, early 6 qts. 35c Prices were a little easier but the buyers were so plentiful that the mar- ket was early sold out.

Don’t call “Help” unless you need it; 1remember the boy who called “Wolf.” A large part of this country is suitable only for the raising of sheep, and the government is making pro- gressive and intelligent efforts to improve both the sheep and the manâ€" ner of preparing the wool for mar- ket. Progress in this South African in- dustry is particularly noticeable in the harvesting. Despite the fact that Kafiir labor can be secured at the equivalent of $3.50 per month, there is a trend towards the modern shear- ing machine as against the age-old hand blades. which, even on this continent, have not been discarded by many otherwise entirely progres~ sive wool raisers. ‘ The Union of South Africa is rightly classed among the great wool producing countries of the world. Climatic conditions there are admir- ably adapted to breeding and raisâ€" ing of» the Merino type of sheep with a strong, staple wool. The mutton sheep of South Africa is the fat-tailed,‘black-headed Cape â€"a non-wooled sheep. As no cross- breeding for mutton lambs is done, the wools are purely Merino in char- acter. A study of this fact, however, readily reveals the reason for it. While there is a first cost for the machine, the unskilled black adapts himself to its use much more readily than to the hand blades, and soon does a remarkably smooth job of shearing with the machine. Once adapted to the use of the machine, its economic value is de- monstrated in the materially great- er number of sheep shorn daily, the better market value of the wool, the Jackals being a strong menace in South Africa, long-time government loans are extended to sheep owners for the erection of jackalâ€"proof fenc- ing. Government sheep experts are maintained permanently in allotted districts so that their services and advice may be assured at a nomina fee. *‘ York Market DONT’S FOR SWIMMERS The Wool Industry in South Africa Underwood 8.: Undenvooa Weaving woolen with primitive looms :1: Africa.

' Steadily, the science of Wool-mar- keting in South Africa is fast ap- proaching the scientific efficiency of the Australian marketing plan, which~is, without doubt, the most practical and efficient in existence to-day. It is interesting to note, however, that the great bulk of their pro- gressiveness is due to quickness in observing the advantages of mod- ern implements and machinery and upâ€"to-date methods and discarding the old ideas that are not nearly so In view of the wonderful progress the wool industry has made in South Africa in a comparatively short time, that industry is surely destined to take a large and important place in the economic progress of the fa]: distant Union of South fewer maimed sheep, and not least important, the additional 5% to 12% more Wool obtained with the ma- chine over and above the amount 0f wool secured with the hand blades. As a consequence, the machine re- solves itself into a small investment with certain and big returns. Considering that the four prov- inces, Natal, Transvaal, Orange Free State and Cape Province, which comprise the Union of South Africa, have over a million square miles less of territory than the populated Provinces of Canada, it is surprising to note that they contain over ten times as many sheep as the whole of Canada. The Union of South Africa ranks about fourth among the countries of the world in sheep population. These points alone put that country in line as a strong con~ tender for future leadership in the wool industry. ANTEDâ€" Experienced farm hand for harvest. Apply, Jno. S.

Kaflr children WHO IS THE KEEPER OF THE LOCK-UP KEYS? “Who Is The Keeper of The Lock- up Keys" may sound like the title of a dime novel or the name of thrilling movie show but in reality it is the subject of a mystery which several local citizens were unable to solve last Thursday night. A stranger of shady reputation and doubtful inten- tions arrived in the village on foot on the night mentioned about the time the town clockâ€"if we had oneâ€"was striking the midnight hour. He was tall and swarthy of appearance and to add a touch of romance to his make- up wore a wide briinmed cowboy’s hat giving him the appearance 0 the product of an Arizona ranch which he claimed he was. He was penniless and being without visible means of support was in the eyes of the law a vagrant. It was learned that he had served a jail sentence in Montreal and that after appearing in the police court in Toronto he was ordered to make the distance between himself and the good city as great as possi- ble. In view of his acknowledged repu- tation and suspicious actions an effort was made by local citizens to have the authorities lock him up as it was felt that he was not a fit and proper character to be wandering about the village streets at night. The first attempt was unsuccesful as the constable telephoned was out of town. The second effort was more successful as a constable was located but he was not in possession of the keys to open the portals of the mun- icipal guest room. It was now near- ing one o’clock and as the situation appeared to be getting serious the proprietor of a north end service sta- tion who recently suffered a loss as a result of visitors in the night ac- companied by a volunteer squad lo- cated the wanderer walking aimless- ly along Church Street. Questioned as to his intentions he apparently had none and the volunteer posse ordered him to accompany them in the Ford chariot and they would find him a ‘place to sleep They visited the home of a third constable and after rous- ing him from peaceful slumbers found that he “had lent the keys to someone” and could give no mat- erial assistance in solving the mystery. The volunteer squad notwithstanding all good intentions of hospitality had to admit defeat and let the wanderer free to pursue his own free course ‘with a little kindly advice “to jkeep moving.” Where he spent the lnight is another chapter of the mys- tery as he was never again seen here- abouts, but travellers from the north tell of meeting a man answering the description of the suspicious stranger trodding along the highway, footsore and weary, sad forlorn and perplexed but always re-echoing to all who passed by the one refrain;â€" Oh list to the question I ask you, For I’m trying to find out still Who keeps the keys of the lock-up In the Village of Richmond Hill? to adm' free to with : keep 11' night i: tery as abouts, TOWNSHIP OF NORTH YORK7 Local Improvement Notice Don Boulevard Bridge Take Notice That: 1.
