fate that the poor boy should have to
die in a German machine and never
had the opportunity to battle against
the machines of that country during
the war.

for fresh radishes grown at the Lewis

for fresh vegetables grown outdoors
in this locality, but vegetables develop
early on the hill and if the doctor was
not %stringing us he has had radishes
from his garden for two weeks and
IS almost ready to pluck string beans,
but We fel certain there is a string on
the latter statement.

Customs Officer d. Maske, who is
a new hand at driving a car. was Out
last Friday morning watching the pa

blame him. as we have been suffering
from strabismic affection ever since
that event, trying to take in all the
galaxy of beauty in evidenced, he lost
control of his car and bumped into n

to the effect that Mr.. Maske's machine
was considerably disfigured by the
impact, but in fact the damage was
very trifling.
