Midway PR‘JCEEDS TO BE USED IN FOSTERING ATHLETICS UNDER AUSI’ICES RICHMOND HILL AMATEUR ATHLETIC ASS’N. FIELD DAY and Street RICHMOND HILL Wed., Aug. 23 The Event of the Year lst, $100.00 in Goods 2nd, $50.00 in Goods 3rd, $25.00 in Goods Richmond Hill Novelty Attractions Pastures were so badly burned at the end of the month that farmers generally were forced to stable food their dairy herds. Second growth al- falfa and red clover provided the only green pasturage in some districts. In the past ten days, however, precipi- tation has been more normal, and pas- tures are expected to show some re- covery. A couple of farmers had been bar- gaining for a cow for over an hour. Finally the prospective buyer came to the point. “How much milk does she give?” he asked. “Wall, I don’t rightly know,” replied the owner, “but she’s a darn good-natured critter and she’ll give all she can.” Early oats and barley turned out better than anticipated, while fall wheat showed h wide range with many fields having an excellent yield. Spring grain which was at the ripen- ing stage during the last half of July suffered severely from drought and heat. At an auction sale near Alliston the other day prices received were as follows: as in other sections and crop develop- ment is more satisfactory. The con- dition figures for the principal crops at the end of July are the lowest re- corded in any year since 1918, the first year in which condition figures were compiled. Continued drought and intense heat during the month of July so seriously affected the growth of crops that for the entire province yields per acre of spring- grains, potatoes, roots and other late crops are expected to prove considerably less than in any recent year. In northern Ontario crops have not been affected by drought condition to the same extent THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO AND INFORMATION FOR THE E NEWTONBROOK Thp annual Gardpn Partv 0f “Tomatoes,” he continued, “Con- stitute an example of this condition. Personally, I have examined the con- tents of several baskets of tomatoes, ostensibly the same weight, only to find weight variations as great as three and four pounds in many cases. Cows sold for $28, $34 and $41. Three months old pigs brought $4 each. A twelve year old horse sold for $71 and another older horse brought $46. Weekly Crop Report Peel County reports alsike yields from 3 to 6 bushels per acre. Deal- ers are offering $6 to $7 a bushel at present. The late blossoms on a1- falfa set seed but the yield per acre will be low, owing to the failure of the first blossoms to properly polli- nate and fertilize. Fall wheat has turned out in bushels per acre and in quality much better than anticipated a month ago, according to a report from Lambton County. Northumber- land has a wheat crop with d 25 and 30 bushel average on the better land. Crops in Carleton are up to or above the average. The cat crop in Essex will average about 20 bushels to the acre. Package Weight Variation Disad- vantage to Producer “Lately, while visiting the Toron- to wholesale markpt,” said C. W. Bauer, Secretary, Ontario Growers’ Markets Council, “I have received numerous indications that buyers, es- pecially those from the chain store organizations, are becoming dissatis- fied with the great variation in weight of similar prodizcts in similar pack- ages.” L GOOD LATE SUMMER AND AUTUMN FLOWERS FOR THE PERENNIAL BORDER (Experimental Farms Note) ‘ It is easy to have bloom in the Per- 1 ennial Border in spring and early summer, but after the delphiniums are ‘ over there seems to be a lack of flow- ers in most gardens.‘ At the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, we try to have something in bloom all sea- son. Yellow coreopsis and brown and yellow gaillardia will bloom all season if the seedheads are cut off. Dra- cocephalum has a purple flower and blooms in August. Sedum spectabile and its varieties are pinkish and bloom late. The foliage is bluish green and quite attractive all summer. These‘ are all suitable for the front of the‘ border.. A useful pink flower is La- vatera kashmeriana (L. thuringiaca Siberian form is similar). It grows 5 to 6 feet and blooms all July. Sid- alcea also has pink flowers and a long season of bloom. There are sev- eral varieties and all are useful. Monâ€" arda didyma. “Oswego Tea’.’ is fre- quently seen. Its variety Cambridge Scarlet is also worth growing. The Monkshoods (Aconitum) are all use- ful late summer blooming plants. The flowers are blue and shaped like a hood. The foliage is dark glossy green. Boccomia, Plume poppy and Cimiicifuga are tall, handsome plants suitable for the back of large borders. They have crehmy, white flowers. Perennial phlox is one of the most useful fall blooming flowers and it can be obtained in a great number of ‘colours ranging from white to deep red and purple. To grow well they need good soil and plenty of mois- ‘ture during the growing season. They lsoon exhaust the soil and should be dug and divided every few years. This rule also applies to perennial ‘asters or Michaelmas daisies as they lare sometimes called. There are htree different sections of these which should be in every border. Aster amellus, such as King George and Queen Mary, grow about 2 feet and bloom in July and August. Aster Novae anglfae, the New England Aster is very hardy and showey and blooms in September. Good varietâ€" ies are Lil Fardell, deep rose, and Ryecroft Purple. In the Novibelgi section there are a great number of beautiful varieties in shades of mauve, pink and white. In districts where the season is mild Anemone japonica both the white and pink varieties are very attractive. l “This situation is acting to the disadvantage of producers, since naturally, buyers are concentrating their attention on the well-filled baskets, leaving the lighter weight baskets in the hands of the Whole- saler. As the growing season ad- vances, and prices drop, returns from these slow moving packages will deâ€" crease, the resultant loss being sus- tained for the most part by the pro- ducer. “So until such time as regulations call for specific weights which, in my opinion, is the only practical solution to this question, producers will pro- tect their own interests only by send- ing‘ well-filled baskets to these dis- tributing points.” ISABELLA PPRESTON, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa The annual Garden Party of the United Church Sunday School was held last Saturday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Galâ€" braith, 5980 Yonge St, and was very largely attended. The shady lawn made an ideal location, and looked beautiful in the evening when it was lighted with colored electric lights and Japanese lanterns. A horseshoe tour- nament was the chief attraction of the afternoon and was closely con- tested. Messrs. Metcalfe and Chip- chase of Willowdale were the cham- pions for best doubles and Mr. Met- calfe won the laurels for the single. Supper was served from 5:30 to 8 pm. and the tables were filled again and again. There was an abundance of everything and some homemade pies and cakes were sold at the close. Rev. and Mrs. Halbert who are at present holidaying at Alcona Beach returned for the occasion and Mr. Halâ€" bert was chairman for the evenings program. The first number on the program was an instrumental by Miss Jessie McGregor “A Scotch Medley” which was heartily encored. A solo by Mr. W. McMullen, choir leader of the United Church, was much enjoyed and his encore was one of his own Composition. Harry Bennett, Com- edian, was called on next and caused a great deal of merriment with both young and old. Miss Nancy \Vallwork, soprano of Toronto, sang 2 numbers. Mr. Kenny of Toronto was very popular as a character reader and will be welcomed back again at a future time. Mr. Tom Hill of Toronto who sang over C.F.C.A. in morning de- votions was also a very welcome vis- itor. His numbers “Some where a Voice is Calling” and “In the Gloamâ€" ing” were very much enjoyed. Mr. W. T. Wells moved a hearty vote of thanks to all who contributed to the program and made the evening such a great success, also to Mr. and Mrs. Galbraith for their kindness in giving their home, and those who pro; vided the supper. It was seconded by Mr. Grisd’ale and responded to by a hearty clap. The program was brought to a close by the National Anthem. Although there were threatening clouds during the evening the rain kept off until after the program was over. No one seemed to mind getting- wet as the rain was very welcome. The booth was very gain decorated and was in charge of Miss Janet Rid- dell, Miss Bessie Hadley, Miss Irene Smith Miss Doris Kallen and Mr. Vicâ€" tor Moore and was well patronized. It was located across the brook and made accessible by a bridge. Douglas Walker, boy reader of Wil- lowdale, gave two readings very cred- itably and shows great promise as a reader. Mr. DuPIane of Toronto also sang two numbers. Mr. McNamara of Toronto, character reader, took the part of an English dude in a number entitled “My Word" which was very good indeed. Mrs. Olive Hudson See- ley of Toronto was accompanist. She also sang a solo “That Wonderful Mother of Mine” also “An Old Time Song” and was dressed in a Victorian costume. ' Miss Doris Goulding returned to Minette, Manitoba, last Tuesday after a couple of weeks visit with her sister, Mrs. Harold Murphy. Rev. and Mrs. A. H. Halbert came down from Lake Simcoe last Friday evening and attended the Garden Party on Saturday. They also re- mained for morning- service on Sunâ€" day, returning on Sunday afternoon. A baby girl came to brighten the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Oldham (nee Blanche Good) last Friday. Con- gratulations. Alliston . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Beeton . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Normally, a certain amount of air is swallowed in the act of eating. The most common of gas in the stomach is the habit which some people have of swallowing comparatively large amounts of air, whether alone or with their food. Others deliberately gulp down air to secure relief from ab- dominal distress. The distress which results from the collection of gas during or after a. meal is commonly due to swallowed air and failure to pass this air along into the intestines, as normally oc- curs. Rarely is gas in the stomach due to fermentation of food, as this would occur only if the exit from the stomach to the bowel were blocked. Flatulence may be a symptom of a diseased condition of the stomach or some adjacent part, such as the gall- bladder. The flatulence itself may cause discomfort and a pain in the region of the heart, with a sensation of tightness and distress. RICHMOND HILL FULL LINES OF FEED ROCK BOTTOM PRICES FORMULAS MADE UP JUST UNLOADED CAR OATS Res. 82-W PHONES Mil] 139-M WE DELIVER The correction of this condition de- pends upon the removal of the cause. When it is a symptom of some ab- normal condition, treatment is direct- ed to the cure of that condition. If it is due to air swallowing, then that habit needs to be corrected. In this latter case, food should be eaten slowly and chewed thoroughly. Eating quickly, gulping food or wash- ing it down with fluids likely means the swallowing of a good deal of air. The sufferer would do well, perhaps, to reduce somewhat the quantity of food taken. ' There is nothing alarming in the flatulence itself. The significance of the condition depends altogether upon what is causing the trouble. It is always advisable to know What is the cause, so that proper treatment may be applied. Proper treatment is cer- tainly not indiscriminate dosing with baking soda or drugs. Here is another of the many ex- amples of the importance to health and comfort of selecting foods and then eating them in the proper way. Many of our ills arise out of careless- ness with regard to our foods. Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College Street, Toronto, will be answered personally by letter.
