before it was done with the outfit. With
the brakes set the big touring car
turned handsprings and cartwheels and
double fops, all the time heading fol-
a sausage display in a butcher shop
Thru the kindly intervention Of two
telegraph poles the day was saved, but
not the machine, which was towed back
to the garage minus two wheels aud a
few internal necessities. -.
Mr.. Dingwall is. a prominent theatri.

with Jacob Lift, who owns the Bijou

flour mills closed the crop year today.
This is 2,313,000 barrels less than pro-
duced in the previous year. From now
on the mills will begin to recover lost
ground and the Forthcoming period will
tell different story. The short wheat
crop last year and extremely high
prices put a heavy handicap upon the
