WHITE. BLACK PREACHER
 JAILED FOR TOTING GUN

Clarksburg, w. Va. July 29- White, black, is in jail. No, this isn't color scheme or a checker game. It's about the Rev. J. White negro preacher of Reyno1dsville. At least he is entitled to prefix the min isterial title to his name
 The Rev. MT. White was entirely too handy with his gun. There is a drastic anti-weapon statute in West Virginia, famed far and wide as the Johnson Anti-Pistol Toting Law. And the least a Magistrate or Judge can do under it IS 90 fine a man $50 and slap him in jail for not less than SIX months.
 The ReynoldsviIle preacher was lucky at that, he drew the minimum sentence. which was imposed in Mag lstrate T. G. Nicewarner's court. Mrs Lorena Taylor, of RevnoIdsvi1Ie swore that the Rev. J. White not only ''toted'' the gun contrary 60 law there Tn made and provided. hut that he also orew It upon her and threatened to kill her with it.

BUMPER CROP DUE
 IN CANADA, CLAIM

Saskatoon, Sask.. July 2s.-Unless during remaining weeks of the crop produce the most remarkable crop in its history.
 This is the concensus among crop experts. Total rainfalls for June was nearly four inches, one and a half more than in any previous June in seven years. Hot, growing weather has prevailed continuously except for the rains. It is declared that the Saskatoon district could even stand mid summer drought and still produce a good crop.
 Improved conditions are reported in Southern Alberta as a result of re- freshing rains. Most field there promise bumper wheat crops. Based on present conditions Central AIber- ta should have a good crop and the northern section of the province bumper yield. The outlook is for a larger crop than last year in these two districts.
 Considering Saskatchewan and Ma n1toba as a whole, agricultural ex- perts are predicting that the yield will be the largest in history if condi- dons of the future are as near ideal as those of the past. The Depart ment of Agriculture of Saskatche- wan issued a report showing splendid conditions throughout the province with exception of small area in the extreme southwest. Some of the wheat is in the shot blade and grow Ing rapidly. At Bethune and
 -rye is being cut

CANADIAN WILDERNESS DRAWS THOUSANDS
 OF TOURISTS

Toronto, Ont, July 29.-Invasion of Ontaria by the vacation army is in full swing. From New York. Chica- go, Detroit and scores of other Amer ican cities, anglers are rusing into the forested uplands that are studded with gem-like lakes. Other tourists laden with golf clubs, tennis rackets. canoes and other outing traps are turning toward the many resorts along the Grand Trunk Railway. Most of these summer playgrounds are hidden in the heart of a wilderness almost untouched by encroaching civ ilization.
 Bulletins from the fishing front in d1cate the seasons catch of muskel- longe. black bass, trout, salmon, pike and plckerel will far Surpass big hauIs Of previous seasons.
 Heaviest registration is reported at Lake of Bays, Kuskoka Lakes, Ka- wartha Lakes, Cobourg, Rideau Lake, Severn River, Belleville, French Riv- CT, Port Hope and Algonquin Park. In the Lake of Bays, Kawartha and Muskoka Lakes districts are scores of resorts. Lake of Bays has been pop ular for many seasons. It is on an island in the Lake of Bays that Big win Inn, the newest, largest and most elaborata1y-equipp of Canadian re- sort hotels has been opened.
 One may leave a game of billiards in the hotel, light a cigarette, stroll out over an Indian trail and before the cigarette is finished be in a deep forest wilderness.
 Heaviest travel in years to these districts is reported.
