Peace River Wheat Champion Claims Hebraic Miniature Prayer
Aaron Kirschlief a Peace River homesteader works on a tiny wheat grain bearing a Hebrew prayer of 39 letters. He aims to best Buch Mordecai of Jerusalem in a peculiarly precise contest and win the title for minute workmanship. Sir Moses Montefiore once received a 386 letter grain, now Kirschlief pursues the same unusual honor. Sir Charles Tapper remains ill in London as transport updates and Ontario election notes appear amid diverse items.
