The showers of this week are bring- 'ng' untold wealth to the county. Hay and pasture lands have made very little growth up to the prQSent. The root crop needed rain badly also. The showers are a boon to berry growers who are fortunate to have a patch of vines or canes that withstood the hard spring. PAGE FOUR Apple, cherry and plum orchards present a very picturesque sight at present. Prospects for a bumper crop never were brighter. Some land owners on the fourth line are rejoicing that soon we may have a good road to travel upon. Oth- ers who travel and see the banefnl effect of Government Control of the Sale of Hard Beverages would prefer mud and safety to speed alcohol and death.

SALE REGISTER THE LIBERAL. mm HILL. ONTARIO STOCK REGISTER Vaughan Township To PurchaseLoader Vaughan township council have de- cided to purchase a gravel loader proâ€" vided that after seeing one work it is felt that it will be satisfactory for the township work. This was decided on‘ motion of Deputy-Reeve Fan- and Councillor Baker at the regular meet- ing on Tuesday. This action was taken as it was felt that the truck could be used to much better advant- age if proper loading facilities were available in the pits. A representa- tive of the Dominion Road Machinery Co., attended the meeting and quoted the price of a. loader at $700. It has a capacity of fourteen yards an hour and it is claimed makes a very ap- preciable saving in loading costs.
