` Consider Dealing In
 Canadian Fruit Ex-

7 OTTAWA. Ont., Bept.|30. (By the
Canadian Press)--Automatic “coin-
in-the-slot" machines will be used
for the sale of apples in France,
acdording to o. report received from
Paris by the Department of Trade
and Commerco today.
One lof the largest fruit import-
ing firms in France has placed
an initial order for ten carloads
of applw with an approximate vai-
ue of $18,000, and is considering
dealing in the Canadian fruit ex-
clusively. Two thousand of the
automatic vending machines will
be placed throughout France, and
the firm has also organized a ser-
ies oflpublio auctions- for the sale
of~Canadiau apples.
Hercule Barre, Canadian Trade
Commissioner in France, workin8
in conjunction with J. Forsyth
Smith. Canadian Fruit Trade Com-
missioner at. London, were respon-
sible for the sale to the large
French iirrn.
The extent oi' the activities in de-
veloping the French market for
Canadian apples is realised when
it is seen that only 2,415 barrels
of apples were exported to France
from the 1929 crop, while 38,261
barrels of last year’s crop found
its way to that country. There were
practically no shipments of Can-
adian apples to France previous
lo the 1929 crop.

Since that date the equivalent of

A sad tragedy occurred near Mc-
D0nald's Point. North Bedeque
yesterday afternoon when Master
Edward, only child of Mr- and
Mrs. James E. McDonald, lost his
life while out on s i-an with his
cousin, John Leckey, son of Alban
Leckey. `
It appears that the two little
boys, both eight years or use. after
they came from school went down
to the shore from McDonald’s home,
which is one of the shore farms
at McDcnald's Point. They got in-

to a raft which was on the slip"
and succeeded in pushing it oif.
The raft began to drift out to
ses, and the children became fright-
ened. John lumped out and waded
in water up to his neck to the shore.
He at once ran to MacDonald‘s
home for assistance. Neighbors
went down and taking another
boat soon reached the raft, but it
only contained the clothes of the
other little chap.
It is supposed that he had stop'
ped to take oil' his garments before
following his little companions ex-
ample and jumped into deep water.
The water is very deep near the
shore at this point and the cur-
rent strong. The first little f€ll0W
showed great endurance in his
struggle to reach shore. The other
little chip delayed a litile too
long. '
Search parties were unsuccessful
in their efforts to locate the body-
A further search will be conduct-
ed at low tide early this mornin!-
Much sympathy is felt for the
bereaved parents as he was their
only child and a loveable little
fellow. Only that moming he had
attended the closing services of
the childrens mission in St. Paul's
Church, Summerside, and had re-
ceived I-ioly Communion from Rev.
Father Connolly, one of the mis-
sion priests.

Complete Destruction
of Lumbering Cen-

NORTH BAY, Ollt., Sept. 30-
(By the Canadian PreSS)-The
lumbering town of Fossmill iS
threatened with complete destruc-
tion by fire. Meagre advice received
here tonight was to the 'effect
that most of the 100 houses in the
town had been devoured and the
fire was still raging, out of control.
Fcssmill is located thirty miles
southeast .of North Bay. So fierce
was the conflagration that its re-
flection was visible here. Early in
the destnictive march of the flames
the valuable property of the Fas*
sett Lumber Company fell prey. In
addition to the mill and other
buildings of the company, a large
part of ten million feet of lumber
piled near the Fossmill was des-
troyed.
Fire fighting equipment was
rushed by train to the thrcatcncd
iown from Brent soon after the
fire broke out, but the flames had
gained such headway before the
efforts of the fire brigade and cv-
ery able bodied citizen of Fossmill
could become organized that their
efforts were of little avail.

There is evidence that merchants across the border
are becoming alarmed over the discount on Canadian dol-

with this country’s money. This is indicated by an an-
Powers, Inc., Rochester, to the effect that his establish-
ment will accept Canadian money at its full value.
Mr. Duffy goes further, and declares: “The decline in
the exchange value of Canadian money is merely tempor-
ary. Our neighbor, the Dominion of Canada, is an empire
greater in area than the United States, and has unlimited
resources. It is in a neighborly spirit, and as it service io
our thousands of customers, that we are adopting this pol.
