(Contributed) It was a perfect autumn day with bright sunshine and the air just cool enough to be refreshing. Walking through the woods very quietly, hopâ€" ing to see a. few migrating warblers, we noticed in the path a short dist- ance ahead. .an oven bird stepping along on its pink feet most sedately, as is its manner. We stopped and stood perfectly still anl it could not have seen us for it turned and came towards us to within six feet, then turned back and went on as before. What an excellent view of it we had! Many times we have scrambled through the woods trying to locate an oven bird by its song and it would elude us, but this little fellow was most obliging. Its back is a. uniform olive brown, the breast white regularly striped with dark brown. The top of the head is or- ange bordered with black. It is of the warbler family but unlike most of its relatives who just pass through this district in the spring and fall, it stays all summer, and almost any day in the woods you can hear its song which sounds like the word ‘teacher’ with the accent on the sec- ond syllable and repeated five or six times with gathering strength as it goes along. It is a ground-frequent- ing bird and its name comes from the fact that its nest which it builds This time the song" was coming from the shrubs along the roadside so we followed it up until we noticed the bird fly across the road ahead of us. From then on it was just a matter of being patient. A short time later we spied this little warbler on some dead brush quite close to us and recognized it as the Mary- land yellow throat. We hurried back to canw full of joy and relief. Our enthusiasm seemed to spread as the rest of the family insisted on going back in the afternoon to see if they could be as fortunate. They were and more so, but they had to fol- low the sound into the swamp and were repaid for the scratches on arms and legs by seeing the pair of Marylands sitting on a limb quite contented With their surroundings. A little sixâ€"year-old‘ girl who had been with us on our first expedition stayed on the roadside with us while the others went into the bush. While waiting, some little chicadees flew to a shrub beside her and came so close and were so friendly she could hardly resist the temptation to reach out her hand and touch them. But her exclamations of delight were so sweet and genuine we wished more children of her own age could have experienced the same pleasure. on the edge of a. swampy section of land. The song was always forth- coming, whatever time we passed. So early one morning we left the camp full of excitementâ€"and it is exciting. We approached the gate very quietly and listened. Yes, there it was, witchety-witchety-witch. Our eyes scanned the trees and shrubs from top to base but no bird c0uld we see. We climbed through the fence walking carefully up and down the edge of the swamp but only the song could be heard, first directly in front of us, then to our left or rightâ€"a very provoking state of af- fairs. We kept this up until the situation was utterly impossible so thought it best to go back and brave the large waves in the lake that morning. The urge was there all day to go back and find that bird so with great anticipation we set forth again next morning. As we go about these bright, warm fall days we keep our eyes on the alert for any of the small warblers passing through on their journey southward. As you know, there are numerous kinds, and we think one of the most fascinating is the Mary- land yellow throat; not so much for its color but for its bewitching song. Of course we don’t hear them sing- ing very much in the fall of the year but their short appearance again re- calls to us the fun we had this sum- mer up near the lake discovering what was behind that ‘witchety- witchety-witch‘ we’d hear every time we passed a gate leading into _a field Bird Chatter Aurora Newmarket Markham . . Richmond Hill Stouffville . Woodblidge ed ran to $7.25, chunks $14 to $17, sows $45 to $50 each, all very high prices. A bay gelding 3 years old brought $1415 and a 2 year old mate sold at $100. Cattle prices were out- standing, with yearling heifers fetch- ‘ing‘ $40 and the highest priced cow fresh $132.50. 2-year-old heifers sold at $80 each. An old binder that had weather- ed many a crop brought $50, a good set. of 4-section harrows $30, and a hoe drill $27450. Fred Preston of Whitchurch paid $360 for the Chev. car, while the house trailer sold for $15. Corn in Vthe 440 rod row sold for $1.15 and mangolds same length rows at $1.25. A. S. Farmer was the auctioneer. From January to June 30 last the public school pupils of Inspectorate York 1, contributed for War Savings Stamps $6,642.34 according to public school Inspector C. A. Lapp. This inspectorate includes Stouffville, Au- rora, Newmarket, Markham, the Townships of East Gwillimbury, Markham Whitchurch, Vaughan. The inspectmate has enlolled in its schools 4,3145 pupils. In Markham Township there was raised or‘ifivested in War Savings Stamps by 368 subscribers $1244.39, in Whitchurch 268 children bought $631.42 in stamps, Vaughan took $891.16, and Gwillimbury $682. Below we give the returns from six urban municipalities: At the G. A. Bro-die estate sale re- cently in Markham Township the farm was not sold but fine prices were obtained for stock and imple- ments. The price of pigs was one of the features. Suckers just wean- [Maximum prices for fuelwood in York and Ontario counties have been fixed by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, and are just announced by J. G. Stewart, coal administrator. No farmer or dealer may sell wood in this district in excess of the prices stated herein. Hard maple, yellow birch, beech, and oak, delivered shall not be sold in excess of $12 for 4â€" foot length, $13.50 for 24-inch length, and $14 for 16‘ inch, and $14.50 for 12 inch length. Unless King Township makes a new agreement with the Town of Aurora before October 15th, fire protection service extended to a section of that municipality by Aurora Fire Brigade will be discontinued. This ultimat- um is the result of long, drawn out negotiations which have failed to bring- about an agreement between the two municipalities. Certainly before the war is over, and perhaps within the space of a few months, practically everything that Canadians buy with the excep- tion of grain and other field pro- ducts will be within- the scope of quantitative restrictions or prohibi- tions. Such was the forecast in of- ficial circles this week. Morgan Baker, North York’s re- presentative in the Ontario Legisla- ture, has joined up in Canada’s Reâ€" serve Army. He is now a private in the Queen‘s York Rangers. Meat is scarce and Canadians are asked to cut down on consumptlon in the next few months. It‘s now patriotic to be a vegetarian. The ladies of Christ Church Guild, Kettleby, have decided to cancel their annual turkey supper for the dura- tion of the war. Over 160 boys are registered at St. Andrew's College this year. This registration is an increase over last year. If you have something to sell, a classified “ad” in The Liberal will do the job quickly and at a small cost. Canadian casualties at Di‘eppe numbered 33-50 it was announced from Ottawa this week. When roast beef is scarce every- one seems to want roast beef. GENERAL NEWS AND VIEWS Miami With the army taking over so many swank hotels, how are you going to get the boys back on the farm after they have had room ser- vice? In addition to being high in pro- tein and oil soybeans contain appre- ciable amounts of calcium and phosâ€" p-horus and are a rich source of Vitamins BI and B2. It is interesting to know that soy- beans'of the highest quality can be grown in Canada, and their producâ€" tion is regarded as a distinct con- tribution to Canada’s w‘ar eff01't.. Soybeans contain from 35 to 40 per cent of protein and are the rich- est in this respect of all the com- monly grown seeds says F. Dim- mock, Division of Forage Plants, Central Experimental Fa‘rm, Ottawa. This means that one pound of pro- tein is contained in about 21/2 pounds of soybeans. it would reâ€" quire from eight to 10 pounds of Wheat, oats or barley to yield an equal amount of protein to this. Not only is the content of protein in soybeans very high but it is of dis- tinctly better quality than that of other common seeds, and is claimed to be comparable to the proteins of animal origin, such as tankage, meat scrap and fish meal. Soybean pro- tein is said to be a complete pro- tein, meaning one that is rich in all of the properties essential for growth, maintenance and production. Soybeans also contain from 15 to 20 per cent of oil of high quality, which is used both for industrial and edible purposes. This oil contains from one to three per cent of leci- thin, a phosphorus rich substance which has many uses, and which is present in egg yolks. Soybeans Rich The farm composed of one hun- dred and eighty acres belonging to the estate of the late G. L. Middle- ton, Lots 17 and 18, Conc-eSSion 6, Pcikering, north of Brougham, was sold last Wednesday to Mr. H. A. Newman of “Newallyn Farms”, Dun- barton. The price for this fine farm â€"â€"4which is in good state of cultiva- tion, with acres hardwood bush, 3 good brick dwelling, two bank barns and other outbuildings -â€" sold for $16,000. There were a number of buyers bidding on the property. Clarke Prentice of Milliken was the auctioneer who says it took just twenty minutes to sell this fine pro- perty. The South Ontario Plowing Match will [be held this fall on October 14 in East Whitby Township, and North Pickering- match on October 15th in Uxbridge Township according to de- cisions reached at the directors’ meeting last week.
