Prominent Ex-Glenyarrian Passes at Seattle, Wash.

Relatives in Glengarry recently n- ■eeived liews of the death of Rev. Hugh McMillan, of Spokane, which occurred nt Seattle on February 9th. follovdng a very brief illness. The deceased was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs, Hugh Roy McMillan, of Loehiel Township, whene he was born on the old homestead on the 5th June, 1855. Mr. Mc- Millan’s last visit to his native county was some twenty years ago.

Mr. McMillan graduated from Frinceton 'Theological Seminary in 1881 and went West the same year.

He is survived by one sister and two- brothers, Mrs. Christie MèRae and Hugh A. and Dan McMillan, of Glen Sandfield, Glengarry.

Interment was made in Greenwood Cemetery, Spokane.

The following is taken from a Spo- kane daily paper:

Under the will of the late Hugh McMillan of Spokane, who died Feb Tuary 9 at Seattle, the greater part of his estate^ valued at from $110,000 to ^125,'000, is - left to Whitworth college for its endowment fund.

The will was presented for probate in the superior court yesterday afternoon by Charles F. Cowan of Berkey & Cowan, appearing for R. E. Porter- field, the executor. While the probate made an estimate of $110,000 on the estate, consisting of Seattle business

Move Seen as Challenge To II. S. Mannfaclurers

Several executives of the motor in dustry here who have studied the move consider it tantamount to an actual increase in the tariff on their products to the- extent of 15 per cent. They agreed it was highly probable that those companies most affected would' erect plants in Canada.

It was pointed out that four of the largest United States automobile ma- kers—Ford, General Motors, Willys- Overland and Chrysler—have Cana- dian subsidiaries and others who wish to compete with them for trade in the Domini#n are at a disadvantage without being actually on the ground.

It was stated that the Hudson-Es- sex, Packard and Studebaker-Pieree Arrow manufacturers have been studv- ing the situation, but have reached no decision.

Exports of United States motor cars and trucks to Qanada had a total value of $20,372,000 in 1930.

Farmers To Have in Inning (Toronto Globe)

The prompt response of Premie’* Henry to the proposal of Liberal House Leader Sinclair that this session of the Legislature give special attention to the farm—with immediate action by the Agriculture Committee—is an encouraging beginning. Mr. Sinclair in* vited co-operation and harmony by asking that his suggestion be viewed a sa constructive contribution to an ur- gent situation, without thought of political advantage, and by his offer to do all he C(>uld to help in producing plans for improvement. So frank and direct an appeal' could not be ignored Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Minister of Agri- culture, was moved to remark that it made a great impression on him and

He spoke of the cheering fact that despite the ' economic depression and unemployment there will be 275 students engaged in Home Mission "Work under the Home Mission Board of the United Church during the coming summer.

The late Dr. Falkner was a member of one of the pioneer families of Glen- garry and was indeed held in very high Esteem. He was of a very kind and sympathetic disposition and was always actively interested in promoting the welfare of the community.

The people of the Province, and the Legislature itself, should derive great satisfaction from the way in which Mr. Sinclair Spoke, free from useless contention, and from the readiness with which, the committee took up the most pressing subject'. of the day. If the efforts put forward result in legis lation Or other action bringing substan- tial relief and assistance to the farmers the session will have been worth while.

The decision made at the initial meeting to hear representatives of the various branches of agriculture affords an opportunity which the farmers should grasp readily. A solution of all their problems—perhaps of their chief ones—is not in the jurisdiction Of the Provincial Legislature, but since the avenue for presentation of their needs is apparently to be wide open tliere should ,be no hesitation in mar- shalling them for inspection. As Mr. Sinclair pointed out, sympathetic re- presentation from the Henry Govern- ment to the Bennett Government în behalf of Ontario farmers should not fall' on deaf ears. Therefore, if the agriculture Committee is to make the close study of the situation required, it is to be hoped the organization in terested will lose no time in preparing comprehensive briefs and in appoint ing spokesmen.

It is long since there has been such au opportunity. As a result there an upndercurrent of dissatisfaction with taxation and prices which -has be.en given voice in hundreds of locali- ties throughout the Province, but has lacked concentration at some effective point.

The news of th^death of Eight Rev. Michael Fallon, Bishop of London, received here Monday, called forth ■ many expressions of deep regret.

His Lordship’s condition for some time past was considered serious and the sudden, turn for the worse Sunday morning proved fatal. His last public appearance was to open St. Peter’s Seminary Chapel, last June, at which time practically all the priests of Lon- don Diocese were in. attendance.

Bishop Fallon was known” throughout the Dominion as an able cleric, a public-spirited citizen and a man who took strong ground in a controversy and braved adverse criticism ■with calmness. He was noted as a publlb speaker and was a force on the plat- form, possessing as he did the gift of oratory in an unusual degree. He left no doubt 'at the conclusion of any speech which he made as to where ho stood on the question under discussion.

TarDf Commission Planned by Bennett

Ottawa, Feb. 21—Expectation in Government circles is that Premier | Bennett wilr bring down legislation at the approaching session of Parliament to provide for the establishment of a tariff Commiss'on which will super sede the defunct Tariff Adviso**y Board, It is believed, moreover, that the first Chairman of the new Com- mission will be R. W. Breadner, now Commissioner of Customs, and the man upon whom the Prim| Minister leans for expert advice in relation to tariff matters.

Mr. Breadner is a veritable ency- clopaedia on customs duties, a wizard on the shaping of tariffs. He has been dealing with tariff problem for forty years, mostly in the service of 'gnius of the Customs Service,

the Dominion Government, b«?t for a period as manager of the Tariff De- partment of the Canadian Manufactur- ers’ Association. He is cheerful, can- did, hard-headed, and a straight-shoot- er. He doesn’t play gold or billiards- but when he isn’t burning the midnight oil at the Customs Department he is enjoying a cigar and a radio program. On ’Sundays he goes to St. An drew’s Church; he is a Presbyterian. He was born at Athelstan, Que., also the birthplace of Lord Atholstan. If Premier Bennett does not make him Chairman of the Tariff Commission, it will be because there is no one avail able to succeed him as the directing

'Whether the demise of these- county bodies-is just as close as pril- ia’s ohi-ef* magistrate would have it believed none can. tell.

PAGE TWO ALEXANDEIA, ONT., FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 27, 1931.

As consumers of skimmilk and buttermilk, hogs as well as poultry are everywhere considered a necessary and profitable adjunct to dairy farming. As a producer of wholesome and palatable meat, ■v^hen properly cured and cooked, swine are also valued as a contributor to the farm larder. Once the hog was valued highly as. a “manure mixer’’ in the barnyard, but that idea of its utitlity has largely .been exploded by the prevalence of cholera among hogs kept in insanity places and when used as a garbage and hotel and restaurant slop consum- er the hog has to be kept vaccinated or the disease mentioned will be about certain to prove destruc- tive. .

Conceding the value of the hog on the dairy farm as an economic commodity, it is of vital ini- partance that disease in this animal he prevented, so far as that proves possible, else it is liable to prove a loss rather than a profit. The mortality among little pigs is frightful and might largely be avoided.

Some of the causes of the losses mentioned are : Having pigs farrowed before the weather, in a northern climate, has sufficiently moderated to make chilling unlikely to occur; failure in such districts t ohave the pregnant sows take daily out- door exercise and to feed them in such a way that they will be muscular and free from constipation ; allowing sows to farrow in old stack bottoms ard other filthy and luiprotected places; inattention to the sows at .farrowing time; chilling and infection causing inflammation of the udder so that the milk is lacking in quantity or poisonous in quality ; im- proper feeding of the sow at farrowing time and immediately afterward ; and invasion of new born pigs by the roundworm (ascaris).

It is more particularly to the latter phase of the subject we wish to draw attention here. Re- search has proved that pigs may take in worm eggs from the contaminated teats of their dam the first time they nurse, or afterward, may contract them from any feed contaminated by the bowel discharges of an infested hog. Old, dirty feeding and watering utensils are therefore a fertile sources of the worm eggs- Practically all old hog houses, pens, lots, yards, and pastures and all wallowing or watering places are also teeming with worm eggs and young pigs allowed access to such places mùst, therefore, inevitably become infested with worms. The wormy pig, if it survives, is thriftless, stunted, and consequently unprofitable. To make hogs on the dairy farm profitable they must therefore be kept practically free from worms, especially until well developed. Hogs that have been kept free during the nursing stage o ftheir life and afterward rintil four months old or thereabout are rarely affected by worms, provided they are generously fed, sufficiently exercised, and kept in sanitary surroundings. ».

The eggs of the jroundworm when taken in-by the little pig hatch in the stomach and the embryo Wfrms, or larvae, are carried throùghput .the system by the blood stream. In ten days, or so, they may be found in the lungs and when numerous there cause fever, coughing, “thumps,” loss of ap-J petite, weakness, and in the worst cases fatal pneumonia. Later, if the pigs survive, the developed worms become established in the intestines and there steal feed nutrients frdin the pig and induce semi-starvation, to say nothing of irritation and possible poisoning of the system. Pigs must therefore be kep,t from taking in worm eggs* ,and that can be managed.

It is accomplished by having the sows farrow in pens that have been thoroughly cleaned with eoheen trated lye- and iWoiling water and freshly bedded, the sows having previously been scrubbed with soap and hot water. Then, before the new born pigs are allowed to nurse, the udder and teats of the sow ar.e again washed and disinfected and as soon as {he. pigs ;are nursing well and'are strong on their feed, the so\y and litter are to be loaded, into a specially cleansed wagon box and hauled to a new colony house,'or one specially cleansed, disinfected, and whitewashed ,preferably on grass not previously used by swine. The Sow and her pigs are then to be allowed .to grdze fresh green crops, preferably legumes, throughout the growing season, and to be kept absolutely away from all yards, houses, pastures ,wallows, and watering places used by adult hogs, until they are at least 4 months old. After that .'there is comparatively little danger from worms. :

■WHEAT IN THE DAIRY RATION

IT IS not often that wheat is low enough in price to include in livestock feeds, but it is at this time. ;Wheat is high in starch and low in fiber, thus rivaling corn in this respect. The chief diL ference in, these grains is in .the protein and fat content. . I

"Wheat is much higher in protein and lower in fat than corn. The relative percentages of these two ingredients in these grains are 12.4 and -9.6 per cent for protein and 2.1 and 4.8 per cent for fat. It is this fat or oil in the com that is chiefly responsible for its palatability to livestock ; hence wheat -is not as palatable as com.

Another thing against the palatability of wheat as compared with that of corn is the fact that it forms a_ stie^ and unpleasant mass in the mouth due to its high gluten content.

Wheat ranks high in total digestibility. Each 100 pounds contains 80.1 pounds digestible material. Corn has 81.7, barley 79.4 and oats only 70.4 per cent.

Any comparison of wheat and other grains should be made on the ton rather than the bushel basis, owing to the.great variability in the weight of a bushel of the different grains-

Because the grains are small and hard, wheat should always be ground for dairy cattle. To over- come its stibkiness other grains or mill feeds such as ground oats, barley bran or beet pulp should be mixed with wheat.

In fact, for best results with cows it should never make more than one-third the total grain ration.

W^heat fed as suggested above has been found by the Main Experiment Station to be equal pound for pound to ground barley or oats.

APPROVED CHICKS PAY

Farmers buying chicks to build up their flocks Tor 1931 will be interested in the'‘figures'supplied by the government of the province of Quebec with respect to the outstanding advantages in buying approved chicks” over non-approved. ,,In connection with the Quebec policy to increase

poultry flocks on farms, last year the Poultry Divi- sion of the Dominion Department of Agriculture co-operated in arranging a supply of 90,000 baby chicks for Quebec farmers.

A careful reeord was kept of the chicks and it was found that the mortality rate for the 60J100, supplied as “approved chicks” from approved hatcheries in Ontario was 9.5 per cent whereas the mor- talit.v ration in 30,000 chicks from non-approved hatcheries was 25 per cent.

These figures are significant to a degree. On a basis of $25 per 100 chicks the actual saving to the purchaser was 1*3 “approved chicks” or .$4 in the chick cost. To get a fair appreciation of just what this saving means one has to consider not the baby chick cost saving alone but what the saving in terms of cost of laying pullets would be. The average pullet begins to lay at six and a half months and they are valued generally at $1.50 each. The purchase of approved chicks with their low mortality rate in the Quebec case represented a saving of $24 per 100 chicks.

FUNDABHENTALS IN CALF FEEDING

Considerable damage may be done in the development of heifer, calves by not paying careful attention to a few fundamentals.

First of these is that the calf should be fed mod- erately after being removed from the cow. A calf that is left with its mother will nurse often and take only a small quantity at each feeding. When fed by hand the calf usually is expected to eat more at a/ time and at less frequent intervals.

In general the quantity of feed a calf should have may best be governed by its body weight,, starting off with not to exceed more than 10 per cent body weight and increasing the feed as growth goes on.

In other words ,a calf weighing seventy pounds at birth should not receive over seven pounds of whole milk daily, divided into three feedings where such a procedure is possible.

As growth develops, increase the quantity in proportion to body weight by the addition of skim milk. Care should be taken that the calf does not get more milk than it can properly handle even with ,i.n.çreasing..growthi since a pot-belly may then result and the rest of the calf look stunted by comparison.

As the calf gets older it will, of course, be permitted to have as much well balanced calf grain and ror^hage as it will readily clean up. A good grain mixture is two parts bran, two parts ground oats and one part oil meal. If a bit sleeker calf is desired one part corn meal or hominy may be added. Our experience with roughage has been that straight alfalfa or clover hay is not desirable for a young calf, as bowel disturbances are very liable to occur. -

We much prefer a good mixed hay or even straight timothy. Such hay keeps the bowels func- tioning correctly and also develops a good body.

The third essential is that all utensils used in feeding a calf should be perfectly clean. A little milk left in the pail from one feeding to the next furnishes a wonderful medium for the development of bacteria. Pails used for calf feeding should be exaètly as well cared for as are the cooking utensils in one’s home.—WALTER A- COOK. 0

FEED EIYES PROPERLY FOR FINE LAMB CROP

As ^lambing time approaches the sheep raiser who is concerned with economic production should look to the ration which the ewes are being fed. Tests at experimental stations have shown that t)îe ration allowed the ewes during late pregnancy and through the nursing period has a definite influence upon the strength, vigor and condition of the lambs at birth, and upon the ai>iiity of the ewes to nurse them.

Lambs from ewes fed silage as the only roughage were large at birth, but lacked vigor, strength and condition. Ewes fed late-cut timothy hay, along with grain, became weak and thin, lost locks of wool because of weakened fibres, sometimes aborted, nursed their lambs poorly, and, in general, made a very poor record of performance. If thére is a supply of early timothy in the barn, make it available for the ewes in preference to late-cut timothy.

Leguminous roughages, like alfalfa, clover, or soybean hay, are superior for wintering ewes and should form the “backbone” of the ration whenever possible. When they are available only in limited quantity, tests show that it is best to feed small quantities each day, along with other roughages, rather than reserve thé supply for feeding only during the nursing period.

Corn stover, com silage, and timothy hay are carbonaceous in nature and require a protein sup- plement. When thus, fortified they are quite us- able, but only of necessity should they constitute the entire roughage allowance.

Tests have shown that 1-2 pound daily per ewe of a balanced grain mixture, fed during the last four to six weeks of pregnancy, wilt fortify the average ewe for parenthood; 1 to 1 1-4 pounds after lambing will stimulate maximum milk production and thus insure thrift and rapid gains on the iambs. It is well to remember that it take only about 40 per cent, as much grain and legume hay to produce 100 pounds of meat on nursing lambs as it takes after weaning.

MANY GMDITIES.

Ooirespondent Tolls of Visit to Old OonjitrJ Museums.

When I spettf a couple of hours recently in the little museum in St. Paul’s Cathedral I was the only visitor, writes a Tit-Bits man. So also when I visited the equally quaint museum of the Grand Priory-of the Ven- erable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, at Clerkenwell. And one day I lighted on Park’s Mu- seum, in Buckingham Palace road, and had the same experience. A dull place? No; most interesting.

Frequently the question of the humane slaughtering of animals crops up, but unless one knows the methods, old and new, how can one dis- cuss them? In the museum ali the methods and instruments — pistols; stunning mallets, and so on, to the latest type of humane killer -—. are shown.

When “Rat Week” comes round we hear stories of what rats can do, and perhaps think them far-fetched. In the museum is the actual pipé (taken from a Regent street house) which rats had gnawed away as though it were butter and not thick iron.

We may know that health depends largely on personal cleanliness, but few of us realize what our hands can pick up in the way of dirt, germs, and bacilli betwéen meal-times —. although we may not be manual workers. The museum, and its exhibit on that subject, would make us prefer to go hungry than eat with unwash- ed hands, however clean they may look.

Ha-ve you ever regretted that you could not talk on your fingers to someone afflicted with deafness and dumbness? In the museum there is a pair of gloves, with the fingers marked with the alphabet and num- erals. Words can be spelled out by. touching.

My next call was at the General Post Office, where, hidden away In the labyrinth of corridors, is a large room — officially it is the “Record Room”—which many would visit if it were open to the public. Bulky, ancient volumes, dating from 1672, contain,the Post Office accounts. The first item sets out that in July of that year the total amount received V7as £1,425 13s. 6d. For ceni^iries the accounts were kept in that way-— one page sufficing for several months’ receipts.

On the wall’is a letter written by Thomas Witherings, the founder of the postal system, to the Mayor of Hull, in 1636. After rating that gentleman soundly foi- daring to send his correspondence by other hands— Witherings had been granted a mono- poly—the letter ends; “Your most affectionate friend and servant.”

Rowland Hill’s diaries and correspondence are preserved in the room. In the diaries, against the date May 1st, 1840, is written: “Stamps were issued to the public to-day in London fot the first time.” •

There is the wrapper of the first parcel sent by Parcels Post; the first letter s.ent by U. K. Aerial Post; the first sent, in 1919, -by International Air Mail Express; sections of the German cables cut when war broke out; a war-time German mail-bag made of panel; and a letter sent from Russia in 1922 on which the postage wàs 10,000 roubles! Since the forty stamps each of 250 roubles, could not be stuck on the letter, it

■was wrapped in the stamps! A threepenny-bit has an interest-

ing history. When negotiations were proceedihg for the acquisition qf the National Telephone Company, Sir A. King wagered threepence that the price to be paid would not exceed £13,000,000. He was right, and the threepenny-bit is the one he received.

READ SEA STORIES.

Sailors Like Conrad and Stevenson, and Look for 'Phrillers.

There seems to be a suggestion of the “busman’s holiday” about the favorite- reading of sailors. A’éeording to the British .Sailors’ Society, which runs the Oc^n Library Service for Merchant Seamen, travel books are, after fiction, the most in demand in the sea-going libraries.

In fiction, “thrillers” are the most popular form of story, mystery tales of the sea being especially in demand. Among the standard authors who are strong favorites, Joseph Con- rad and Robert Louis Stevenson, who Ijoth wrote sea stories, have’places of honor.

A standard ocean library consists of. a selection of books, including bi- ography, history, travel, essays, poe- try, açience, ahd fiction. It is con- tained in an oak cabinet. Libraries can be exchanged at the principal British ports, land also on the conti- nent and overseas.

Last year 203 new libraries were issued and i,084 were exchanged. They are the most travelled libraries in the world—Answeis.

Protecting Pythons. Public-spirited South Africans

have recently started a movement to restrict, and possibly even prohibit, the export of skins of native pytnons and monitor lizards. The demand for anpkp skins has practically ex- hausted the. akin* •Mtllabl* South Africa and UM AT 'Kart. Back to-' creasingly large ordèi s are being sent to South Africa that hundreds of na- tives have gone into the business of hunting the python and lizard.

Wholesale slaughter of the South' African 'python is becoming a serious economic problem, it is said, because the python and the monitor lizard are the only animals in the cane- producing areas that will destroy plague-carrying rodents. The python is non-venomous and does not attack human beings except when fighting for its life.

boot-repairing, house decorating, en- gineering, plutnbihg, and farming, are taught , to regular soldiers during the last period of their service at the vocational traiiiir centres at Houns-

IN ELEVEN DAYS.

\irplane Route Prom Ix>ndon to Capetown, South Africa.

For £125, passengers next year will be able to fly from London to Capetown, covering Ç,000 miles in 11 days.

An airplane will leave once a week in each direction.- On most stages it 'Will land for breakfast and luncheon, as well as for the night at rest houses along tlfe route, and the fare will include hotel a*nd all other expenses.

These plans were announced recently by Col. J. Barrett Lennard, a director of Imperial Airways, Ltd., when he landed at Southampton after a ten weeks’ visit to South Af- rica to make the necessary arrange- ments with the Governments concerned.

“Within a year,” he said, “we hope to cut the time down to nine days. The longest hop will be one of eight hours.

“The first section, to Victoria and Nyanza, will be opened In January, and the second stage before the middle of April,

“The, flight from London to Sa- lonica .will be made in a large plane capable of carrying 40 travellers.

“The crossing to Cairo will be in a four-engined flying boat, while a three-engined Argosy type machine will be used from that place to Khartum.

“The journey will be continued in a three-engine Calcutta type from Khartum to south of the lakes, and then a hree - engine Da Haviland Hercules machine from Nyanza to Capetown.

“We , shall have a big stations at Johannesburg, with repair shops, and so on.”

The voyage by liner takes 17 days.

BIGGEST TREE RECORD.

British Columbia Claims the World’s Forest Giant.

Every once in a while a tree is felled in thé Pacific Northwest that challenges the world for size. For yeai-s there has been lively competi- tion between people in the redwood and fir belts as to the size of the prospective species, both of which are reputedly in a class by themselves for height and girth.

In New_ York recently an article was published to the effect that a redwood tree which reached the saw- mills of Veronica, Oregon, was probably the largest tree ever cut. This is disputed by British Columbia lum- bermen, who declare that several years ago a tree was cut in Lynn Val- ley near Vancouver, which dwarfs the Oregon redwood tree in comparison.

The Oregon redwood' was 10 feet in diameter at the base and its height was 230 feet. The Lynn Val- ley Douglas fire tree v/os 417 feet high, being 300 feet to the first limb. It was 25 feet in diameter and 77 feet In circumference at the butt. It was believed to have been at least 2,000 years old. At the time of the birth of Christ it was probably a tree of considerable size and it served as a sentinel in thé new world since the fall of the Roman Empire.

There is probably no other tree that will ever surpass in size this giant fir, except as botanical speci- mens. No lumber corporation could afford to let a tree grow to such an age and new trees will probably no: live more than 100 years before they are cut down. In a comparatively few yeara, forester's predict, the last bf the huge virgin trees will have gone, except in the parks and reserv- ed areas.

WOMEN RUN VILLAGE.

Bat the Blackssnith Is Still a Hrusky Man,

The little village of Benfleot in Es- sex is remarkable for the way in which -women “take the lead” in local commerce. It has a woman taxi- cab driver, a woman newsagent and a woman fruiterer, just to begin with.

But these are by no méans all. There is actually a woman’s “men’s outfitter,” who sells "ready-mades'’ to any man -who steps into her shop. And if you want your teeth extracted, there Is a woman dentist to perform that painful but necessary function, too.

But surely the palm among her sex should be awarded to Mrs. Marie' Nunn, the woman barber of-Beufleet, who asserts that she has been a bai’- . her tor twelve years and has neve.' had an accident!

One consolation remains to the humble male who, if he lives in Ben- fleet, may well view the encroach- ment bf women into his formerly ei- clusi-ve domains with alarms. The blacksmith in this village is still the husky feljow that tradition represents him to be—-Pearson’s Weekly.

SAILORS’ GROG.

Pifty-Pive Per Cent, of Crew Prefer the Cash Equivalent.

Rum, half a gill of which has been the daily ration of all man-o’-war’s men over the age of 20 for many years, seems to be losing popularity in- the British Navy. Instructor Lt.- Commander C. R. Beristead says thaï »f the 1,010 men aboard his ship e.n- ttttod to the spirit ration, only 460 or 45 per cent., actually draw it. The remainder prefer the cash equivalent of 3d. a day.

Grog, it may be recalled, owes its name to the grogram coat worn by Admiral Vernon in the eighteenth century, which earned him the nick- name of “Old Grog.” It was he who first ordered their spirit ration to be watered. Prom the battleship’s grog room no more than five or six gallons are issued dally. A few years back, 80 per cent, of the Britsh seamen took the rum, while now only an average of 28 per cent, prefer their grog'to the allowance in lieu.

Midget of Monkeyland. Claimed to be the smallest monkey

in captivity in the world a pigm. marmoset arrived at the Crewe (Eng- land) zoo. A native of South Amer- ica, the pigmy is even smaller than the official measurements for the species. His face is the size of a 50-cenx piece, his body three inches long, ano ais tail six inches.

33,117,314 Pieces is Long Laundry List

Can you imagine a bewildered Chinaman trying to total a

laundry list of 33,117,314 pieces ? But there is one like that It is the total of washing done by and for the Canadian Pacific Railway Com- I>any In 1930, in Canada, including hotels and bun- galow-camps; sleeping and dining car service, (which also operates station restaurants), and the British Columbia Coast boat service. If one stopped to sit down and figure out the gallons of water and bars of soap required for these operations, the results might be even more as- tounding.

’The hotel, department owns 789,821 pieces of linen; the dining and sleeping car, service some 1,500,000 and the British Columbia steam- ships another, 247,000, making a grand total of, 2,536,821 pieces. These include all “flat-pieces”, such as table - cloths, sheets, napkins, towels, pillow-cases, etc; the white epats worn by the company’s servants in

laundry, done for guests. In th .hotels, too, blankete; hed-spreadj

rugs, and so forth mus he con^dpred. Ever piece of laundry handle becomes a laundry-piec each time it appears t the wash. ’Thus a singl tahle-napkin may be laundry-piece over ani over again, according t the supply of linen need ed and avallaible.

Of Interest to Women ENTERTAINING THE SHUT-IN CHILD and the golden kernels of corn and other seeds.—

MATUAN MANLEY-BRANDT, in Hoard’s Dairy- Although every child should spend as much

iâme as possible out of doors at healthful play, still there are times when such play is too strenu- ous; and also times when the weather is so inele- ment or when chidren are convalescing from an ill- .ness that they must of necessity spend many hours in the house. To the pre-school child ,and to older children as well, these hours need never drag, and there can always be a number of pleasant things to do in answer to that oft repeated question, “Mo- ther, what can I do?”

So many farm mothers, like myself, have no access to a kindergarten and, because of this, many

■country children are sent to school much too young simply because the mothers are at their wit’s end to think up something to keep them amused. An- ■pther Way in which W'e farm women are handicapped is that we have so little time to spend on our children. So the following things which my children have enjoyed doing so much, not only call for the minimum amount o ftinie on tê mother’s part, but often afford the child more actual pleasure than the most expensive toys one can buy. I also re- commend them to you for their inexpensiveness, for although we are handicapped in some ways, we farm mothers are fortunate in having many re- sources and materials right at hand. Most of the materials called for can be found in any farm home. The equipment ' consists principally of a pair of small, blunt scissors, paste (which can be made of flour and water), a>;bo'X' of colors, some old maga- zines and catalogs, a wall paper sample book, large eyed needle and stout thread, colored sheets of paper from a printing office, corn, seeds, grain, and straw. There is enough material in all this equipment to last through all the stormy, bad days of tie entire winter; If the new things are kept back and not seen by the child until he has tired of one thing, his interest will never lag- ^

These are the things my children have enjoyed most : V '

Paper chain making is an easy and attractive occupation. Almost any kind of paper will do, but for these I usually use the wall paper samples hr printing office paper. If the latter is used, the chains are very pretty alternating the colors. The paper is' first cut in strips one-half inch wide and five inches long. Paste the end together for the first link and slip the next strip through this one fciefore pasting the ends and continue this to the desired length. The chain may be used to decorate the room and if made of red and green lengths, it makes attractive Christmas decorations.

Straw is an excellent material to use. Select the finest, straight, clean straws and cut in pieces an inch long. String like beads, alternating with one-inch squares of bright colored paper or soft cardboard. White cardboard can be used and each square colored differently^ .gnakisgi yery-«ffeeti-ve contrast with the shinjng golden straw.

_ Any kind of grain can be used to picture a story. Corn is admirably adapted for this. Draw an outline of a house, fruit, animal, or anything not too elaborate. • Let the children cover the outlines with the kernels of corn or fill in in mass effect, leaving \open spaces for doors and windows. Corn may also be softened in water and strung like beads.

At the printing office for a few cents I buy different colored plain paper and soft cardboard such as that used for printing sale bills. They both come in large sheets. I take the colored paper, fold in fourths so as to make about an eight-page booklet. I can use two colors, alternating-them in the booklet. Down through the center fold I sew with coarse thread and the children have a scrap book which is a real treasure to them. From maga- zines or old catalogs they cut bright colored pictures and paste into their book, sometimes using different pages for different things- For instance, on one page put furniture for a home, on another toys, on another pets, etc.

Sewing seems t obe an inherited instinct for all childrene ; even boys enjoy it. Use soft cardboard about., four or five inches square. Outline on the cardboard any simple object such' as a kite box, apple, or carrot.Laying the cardboard, over a cushion, punch holes with a darning needle about one-half inch apart on the outline. Then thread the needle with J)right colored yarn or sansilk, show the child how to draw the needle up through one hole and push it down through the other. After it -is sewed they can fill in the outline with colors.

Toothpicks make fine men and animals. Using small seedless raisins for joints and some softened paraffin shaped for a head, different men in different action positions can be made.

In the summertime the children will enjoj- dressing clothespin dolls wUh hollyhock flower dresses and umbrellas and then, having a party for all the dolls, using nasturtium leaves for plates and acorns for cups. ‘

Potatoes, especially those of odd shapes, can be out together with toothpicks and toothpicks used for legs. The very young child’s animal will look more like a porcupine than anything else but at least he will enjoy making it.

Soft cardboard or wall paper may be used for- weaving mats. Cut a piece of paper about six inches square. Cut slits in it about four inches long and half an inch apart. From paper of another color,, cut strips 1-2 inch wide and about 6 inches long. Weave -with these last strips back and forth through the slits of the six-inch square. Chinese lanterns are .made in much the same way. Using a six-inch square of bright colored wall paper or plain paper, cut strips in the same way as for the mat. Paste together, having the strips run length- wise. Paste on a strip for a handle-

A four-room doll house may be made from twm orange crates, one placed on top of the other. The children ean furnish it with pictures from old ma- gazines and catalogs.

If one has no .children to enjoy doing these things, a box of the pretty bright paper, straw' lengths, corp, seeds, yarns, etc;, would make a most

■aeceptable, though inexpensive Christmas gift for some other little child, and especially will city children enjoy paying with the bright shining straw

LADY WILLINGDON’S EMERALD EARRINGS

When the Countess Willingdon wears the ex- quisite emeralds and diamonds which are her parting gift from the women of Canada, she never need fear that they will be separated and lost to each other forever in that tragic fashion so character- istic of earrings. Any such fear on the part ^pf Canadian w-omen can be laid at rest, for Lady Wd- lington has pierced ears and wears her earings in the good old-fashioned way.

Ths discovery w'as made recently when members of the press were privileged to enjoy a pre- view' of the earrings at Ellis Brothers, w'here the gift was executed. With a quick snap, a purple leather case—a temporary one— was opened to dis- close the gift of the women of Canada, in all its daz- zling beauty. Each earring contains forty-two diamonds, including six marquise cut, and one emerald cut diamond at the top of the ear- The de- sign of the earrings 'was inspired by the Baroque period, and they- are beautifully executed in Cana- dian platinum. Over 300 separate miute pieces w'ere used, thus making the earrings very flexible and allow'ing them to .swing gracefully with the movement of the head. The striking feature of the earrings is the pair of matched octagon-cut emeralds, which are remarkable for their deep green color, their marvelous lustre, and freedom from blemish, so difficult to obtain in an emerald.

The earrings w'ill be encased in a sterling silver gilt-plated case, " which, on its base will bear the inscription : “To Her Excellency the Viscoiiii- tess Willingdon from the Women of Canada, 1931.” The tw'O small doors of the, silver gilt cabinet each

■bear a maple leaf enamelled in autumn colors, and the case is lined in velvet in that delicate shade of orchid, which is Lady Wilingdon’s favorite color. The case w-as also designed and made by Ellis Bro- thers. The earrings will be on exhibition in Ellis Brothers’ Yonge Street store until Monday evening, W'hen they will be sent to Ottawa.—Con. 0

OLD TIME FAIRY TALES

Every so often someone w'ants to buy a book t^'at contains the old nursery rhymes and fairy tales .and they find out that it is a very difficult thing to do.

There are some Mother Goose books that have a few of them, and some fairy tale books that have most of the fairy tales, and lots of books that have modernized versions of the old favorites-with happy endings replacing the stories they so often pored over when they were young.

In “Old Time Fairy Tales and Nursery Rhymes,,” the Tuck com])any has produced a vol- ume of 246 pages of spendidly printed fairy tales and nursery rhymes that pretty well cover the old ground. All the old characters are there, and they are shown in clever pictures that accompany the text. These old stories and jingles are ever new, and they must be so, for there is always a new generation to be thrilled by them. And it would be a regrettable time when old and j'oung stopped re- peating these old things to themselves, to their com- panions ,to their juniors. Much of the charm of this V'olume lies in its dainty pictures. Surely never before have the old favorites been presented in such an attractive dress. B.W. 0 —

CAKE AND CANDY

Coffee, besides its many virtues as a beverage, makes delightful flavoring for desserts and confec- tions, particularly when there is no other ingredient to. relieve the rich sweetness of the dish. Here are to inexpensive recipes that are worth a trial!

Coffee Fruit Cake Half cup shortening, 1 cup light brown sugar,

2 eggs, 1-4 oup coffee, 1-3 cup milk, 1 3-4 cups flour. 3 teaspoons baking powder 1-2 pound raisins 1-8 pound citron, 1-4 pound figs cut in strips.

Cream shortening, add sugar, egg yolks, eof-, fee and milk. Sift together flour and baking powder and add slowly- Add fruit, which has been slightly floured, and fold in beaten whites of eggs. Bake in greased loaf pan from one hour to one hour and a quarter.

Mocha Fudge 1 1-2 cups granulated sugar, 1-2 cup milk (pre-

ferably part cream) 1 heaping tablespoon cocoa, 4 tablespoons strong brevred coffee, butter size of walnut, pinch of salt, scant teaspoon vanilla.

Melt cocoa ,add milk and coffee and sugar, stir until sugar is thoroughly dissolved, place over heat and cool until it forms a soft ball in cold water. Remove from heat, add butter and salt, beat strongly until it cools. Then add vanilla and beat briskly until it starts to get solid, then pour into butter- ed pan or plate to get cold before cutting it in squares. English walnuts may be added if desired.

London Doctor Says Drugs and MedI- cines Arc a Blessinj».

You may be one of those 'who turn p-ale at mention of drugs and would rather take influenza than an aspirin tablet, writes a doctor in the Lon- don News-Chronicle. On the other nand, you may live largely on bottles and boxes of assorted chemicals. 1 Either way you’re wrong.

Personally, I count drugs and medicines among the conspicuous blessings of this world. G-oodness knows how anyone found out that foxgloves are beneficial in heart disease or autumn crocuses in gout; but find it out they did, and I don’t see why we should not have the benefit of the discovery.

“Ah, yes,’’ I hear you say. “There can be no objection to the old herbs and simples—nature’s remedies for natural disorders. It is the artificial modem drugs ■which are harnaful.’’ To this I reply that I don’t care where a remedy comes from, or who invented it, or how. AU I ask is that it should be effective, and that it should be used at the proper time hi the proper way, by the proper person.

Tea and coffee are powerful drugs, yet I see my friends lapping them up daily In heavy overdoses. Why then should the same people be frightened of other valuable, aids to living, such as bromide, salicylate, thyroid or belladonna, when genuinely needed and responsibly prescribed?

It is true that even aspirin affects certain individuals unfavorably. But so do tea, coffee, alcohol and tobacco. It is true again, that morphia and similar prârations can produce drug addiction. But must this mean that intelligent patients shudder at the thought of any kind of sleeping draught? It strikes me as a waste of mercies to refuse the gifts of the gods In dup season.

Many people, of course, go to other extreme and are held in t>er- petual durance by their need of’pills, potions and patent elixirs. Doubtless there are worse ways of getting

.moral support for the battle of life, and it has been well said that while medicines “sometimes cure and often relieve they always console.” All the same, I wouldn’t call them inexpensive means of consolation.

END OP THE SUNBEAM.

Famous Old Yacht Will Sail the Seas No More.

The famous old Sunbeam is now at Morecambe, her sailing days at an end. The vessel is to be broken up and Sir,Walter Runclman, who has owned the yacht in -recent years, has ordered some of her fittings to be made up into pieces of furniture.

The Sunbeam was built 55 years ago for Earl Brassey. It was in 1876 that she made her now famous voyage round the world with Lord and Lady Brassey and family on board. The vessel holds the world’s mileage record for privately-owned British yachts, with more than 500,000 miles. Her voyages include several •visits to Kiel. She was there at the opening of the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal ih 1805. ■

Twenty-five years ago she took part in the race across thé Atlantic for the Kaiser’s Cup, and missed*the sixth place by a short mile. She was at Kiel on the eve of the declaration of war.

Gladstone went for a cruise in her in 1885, and’Lord Tennyson used her for a cruise in the Channel. In 1910 Horace G. Hutchkinson went to Ice- land and Canada in the yacht, and later described the cruise under the title ^f “A Saga of the Sunbeam.”

When Lord Brassey was appointed Governor of Victoria he sailed to Aus- tralia in the yacht to take up his official position. During the Great War the; Sunbeam was a hospital ship.

RELICS OF ROYALTY.

0(rflectf<m Lent to Ixmdmi Museum by Kenneth W. Sanderson.

A sma.Il collection of royal relics lent by Kenneth W. Sanderson, has been added to the royal objects in the London Museum. They comprise the coronation shoes of George IV. once in the possession of Mrs. Pitx- herbert, a portion of tlie Persian bro- cade petticoat worn by Que^ Char- lotte (wife of George III.) and a set of 22 engraved mother-of-pearl counters once owned by William III. and Mary.

While the shoes of George IV., mê of silk and silver thread with red leather heels were evidently much worn, as their present condition showe, the fragment of his mother's Persian petticoat, which she is believed to have worn at her wedding, is still delightfully fresh in color. The William III. counters are flat disks of mother-of-pearl about 1 % inches across, bearing on the obverse the initials W. and R. undér a Hon and crown, on the reverse a series of 22 Chinese designs, perhaps, illus- trating a legend.

Grace Darling's Boat. The coble in which Grace Darling,

of the Parue Islands, with the help of her father, saved nine lives from the wreck of the Forfarshire on Sep- tember 7, 1838, bas been removed to Bamborough, Northumberland, where it will have a permanent home. It is an open boat, 21 feet long. It be- longed to the Liongstone lighthouse, of which William Darling, Grace’s father, was keeper, and In 1912 it was presented to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. The Longstone lighthouse, on the Fame Islands, is four miles pff the coast of Northum- berland. Lord Armstrong, the owner of Bamborough Castle, has presented the institution with a piece of land overlooking the sea and facing the lighthouse.

f’ertilîzérs. Production from plants in Canada

engaged primarily in the manufac- facture of complete fertilizers amounted in value to $2,258,780 in 1929. In addition, fertilizer materials such as cynamid, ammonium sul- phate, animal tankage, ground bone and fish fertilizers were made in factories classified under- other industries; In 1,929 the production value of these commodities totalled $12,- 090,768.

NEW DAY FOR IRELAND FOOD EXPORTS ARE MAINSTAY

OF FREE STATE.

Introduction of Electrical Poww to the Home May Prave to Be Great Irish Revolution—100 Places Are Liuke<l to Shannon Electric Mains,

The strength of the Free State lies in the simplicity of her cardinal products; she supplies neither luxuries nor half-luxuries, but first needs— bacon, butter, eggs^ stout and cattle for beef, writes J. M. N. Jeffries in the London Daily Mail.

However poor the world may be, the demand for these things is the last to 'fail. As long as the rest of the world keeps hungry and thirsty, Ireland should keep fed.

Since the Free State was installed, it has been thinking in terms of bacon and eggs. The first thing I read on landing was the text of a bill which makes it an offence to send an unclean egg out of the country for sale. It is the same with stock: the Government does not encourage ,the Irish fanner to keep good bulls; it insists upon this.

Some of the older farmers and merchants in small places, do not care for it; the latter particularly would like in the o-ld way to accumu- late haphazard the eggs which come in from Hogarty on Monday and from Horan on Tuesday and from O’Hanlon on Wednesday and to send them all off together on Friday as fresh Irish. But their sons anh daughters are perceiving the value of their regulations.

The Irish article o>f food therefore grows superfijje, the very best. It is to be noted that for their own con- sumption the cofintry people import inferior foreign bacon. It is cheaper, it ensures the margin of profit, and, as was put to me, “it lasts much longer, there’s not the temptation to it.” In time Ireland may produce this inferior bacon for herself or demand the better, it is a stage- in her development to come.

The other and vastly im/portant factor of her prosperity is that, while the price of stock may have fallen, yet the price of feeding-stuffs she imports has fallen more.

As regards industries, the Govern- ment has tried to restore some of the more necessary by tariffs. These have been partly successful, and further tariff rises are under consideration.

-One tariff that has been very successful is that which affects shirt material. Nearly every shirt in the country now is as Irish as the back it covers, and prices have not increased, for there is much local comi>etitIon. Much of the shirt-finishing is done by home workers, a body whose pros- pects are improving in the Free State, which more and more is offering every home worker power to his or her elbow in a very different sense to the ancient greeting.

This introduction of power, of electrical power, to the home may prove to be the great Irish revolution. It is a trifle early to speak with absolute certainty yet, but it may well be that within a year the Free State may be turning into the most electrified country in Europe, alongside and even — who knows? — beyond the Scandinavian triplets.

The harnessing of the River Shan- non at Ardnacrusha beyan five yeans ago. Many people then thought this was but a piece of political megal- omania. Now 90,000 h.p.—hope power as'well as horse power—is available. Keeping a due quantity of current for réservé, the whole should be employed this winter.

Plants for extending the supply, by the employ of more turbines, giving as much again, are in hand.

The coming financial year will see the scheme already paying its way. 1 am right, I -think, in saying that ex- actly ‘100 towns and villages are now linked to the Shannon electrical mains. Every place having a popula- tion of 500 or more, I am told, within tjbe area served has the supply available. The present area, roughly speaking, excludes Donegal and the coast districts of Keiry and the west.

Sixty per cent, of the householders who have the opportunity of current have seized it, and the démand increases. Everyone wants to be a Shan- noneer. Everyone is looked upon by the Electricity Board, appointed by the Government to implement th€ scheme, as a potential Shannoneer except the inhabitants of those rag- ged cots which are a legacy of the past and in time are likely to be de- serted. At Cabinteely, near Dublin, the engineers had indeed something of a problem to introduce the cables to the low-sized cottages which desired them.

The Board wires the houses and sells in addition to lighting apparatus sorts of electric appliances. This is where the home-worker will be helped and small industries. Three or four workers in a little shop, using electric drills, grinders, hammers, and so on, are able to produM goods often so as to compete -with large firms..

Bakers are using Shannon power for their ovens, farmers for milking, for butter - making, fodder - cutting, and a hundred other needs. Electric cookers are being sold to housewives in the humblest cottages, as well as the more ordinary ironers.

What touches my own imagination is that a special low rate of charge is being made for the supply of continuous hot water to the households of Ireland. Charges-;-a very interesting, point — are not uniform; they are based primarily on the rateable value' of the premises wired, after which the price is a penny per unit.

The Board has established its own shop in Dublin to sell its goods, and is charged income tax like any other shop by the Government. Decidedly we are in the New Ireland.

EARLY HISTORY-OF MAXVILLE The following very 'interesting "Da-

per on the /Êarly History of Max ville”, was read at a recent meeting of thè Women’s Institute by Miss Stuart. .

Maxville as its name implies got it from the Macs who lived on the land now occupied' by the village—McDo'j- galls and McEwens predominating.

It sprang into existence whoq the Canada Atlantic Railway was built in 1881. A charter was gTante«l for the completion of the road in 1872. Tt was first known as the Montrfial Coteau Junction and pttawa.

A Company by the name of Hibbard, Catlin & Co. undertook to build the road. They graded in sectisus fro’n Coteau to a mile west of Maxville, when their>funds gave out. The road remained in, that condition for a nam-

, ber of years until the late J. L, U-mth took hold of it and carried it to completion.

The first freight received at Max- ville was a crate of crockery, wjiieh was put o^f by the side of the road on Dee 5th, 1881, for SmiUie Bros.

, The station was opened January, 1882, with Mr. J. W. Weegar the first Agent.

The first piece of sidewalk was built from the railway track to the Post Office. This was built with the pro- ceeds of a concert held in a shop where Jas. Ferguson was working, by a blacksmith _ in his employ by the name of Robert Garvin and an organ and piano agent'by the name of Mc- Dowell.

The first building erected in Max- ville was when Alex, and D. P. M<? Dougall^ cleared an acre of land and built a sawmill just back of Fred Mc- Millan’s.

This was burnt but another was built farther back which was also burnt.

The second building was built by P. J. McEwen on the corner for a store and dwelling house where the late Sam Henry lived.

The late E. J. MeEwen built the blacksmith shop and carriage shop now owned by Dan McLean.

The first general store was conduct-' ed by Peter J. McEwen. Then followed Wdllie MeEwen, where Jamie- son’s store is now. '>

The first tailor shop was Alex. Smi'- lie’s who also had a general store si- tuated about where Chisholm’s house now is. John Smillie clerked there.

A harlware store built by Neil Mc- Gillis of Lancaster where Ross’ bak- ery shop is now, was run by John Les- lie.

John McEwen was the first post- Dwster. B. J. MeEwen, his son, built the Lang building for a store with upstairs for a hall meeting place. Here the young children were gather- ed for the first school with Druscella Rothwell, now Mrs. D. D, Grant, Moose Creek, as their first teacher.

The first sash and door factory was built by A, C. Robertson, east near Mrs. Duncan Campbell’s and was run- by Jim Moffatt. Mr. Robertson als ) built a sash and door factory north of Lome MacLean’s house. The foîndation can be seen yet, overgrown with brush, near the fence where the boiler room was. He also built the house Mrs. .-MacLean lives in.

Dr. Jamiesqn, the first doctor, lived in a house where Chisholm’s block is now. He kept drugs on a small scale»

The first butcher was a said Bedard and the first baker was Mr. Robert Du- guid from ’WilUamstown. The first watch-maker Peter McLeod from Lan-

caster, Mr. David Léitch, Williams- town, the first weaver.

There was another factory and sawmill owned by Boss and McGregor, where Donald Grant lives.

The first cheese factory was on the east side of the blacksmith shop where Mr. Hill lives and the first cheesema- ker was a Mr. Angus McLaughlin, an old man.

Mr. W. Barnhart was the first pain- ter and decorator. Charles McNaugh- ton had a carding mill. Charles and Dan Robertson had a foundry.

The Salvation Army held meetings in the M(jBain brick building upstairs where Mr. Dan Ferguson lives. M»-. R. A. Mathewson, a lawyer, lived where John D. McRae lives how.

The first Public School building, two rooms, was built in 1885. In 1904, the present four rooined brick building was erected. Ten years later a Con- tinuation School was built which has been changed into a High School.

No history or story is complete with oftt a marriage. Mr. Alex P. McDou- gall was -the first to bring a bride 'to the village—Jane Fisher, mother Mr. John A. McDougall, of Winchester. Her’s wâs also the first death.

E. J. McEwen brought the second bride, namely Margaret Morrison. John McLennan was the third to bring .a bride, namely Mary Ann McRae.

Where the spacious Fair grounds are, was solid woods. Where part of the village now is was cedar which was later cut into shingles and shipped to the United States.

There was a gully on the east side of Main St. north extending, from A1 guire’s store to the carding mill. It was about six feet deep and twelve feef wide. You know how it is tiled now and a sidewalk over it.

The village was incorporated in 1891^ the late D. P. McDoi:gall being the first Reeve.

It was remarked not lo;ig •'Mice V at of all the men doing businws in Max- ville in 1884 the only one carrying on the same business was James Ferguson making the famous threshing mach- ines.

These 'are some of the names who made Maxville great, J. D. Robertson, A. D, McRae, Finlay McEwen, Don- ald T. Munro, Donald A. McDourall. John McEwen, D. P. McDougall, John McE-jven Alex. Smillie, ' Thomas Mof- fat and John P. McDougall.

ST. ELMO \

On Monday evening next, March 2nd, the St. Elmo Literary Society will have Mrs. Laura Rose Stephens of Ottawa as speaker. Mr^. Stephens is thoroughly conversant with both urban and rural conditions and her great fund of practical information, well seasoned with wit and humor, pia-ees her in the front‘rank of lecturers. She is also well known through her writ- ings to the “Inglenook”, department of Farm and Dairy. No one should miss this opportunity of hearing Mrs Ste- phens on Monday ■ night.

Canada is Seen As Great Holiday Area

(By A. N. Longstaff) ” Canada offers to the people of this

country and other countries the finest vacation land in the world. Across her nine provinces are wonderful lake and' forest and mountain playgrounds, the last virgin hunting and fishing territories of the North American contin- ent, and in her great national parks are to be found the finest scenic territories in the world,” stated Alan N. Long- stajff, press representative of the Canadian National Railways, in ad- dressing the members of the B’Nai Jacob young people’s assembly recently. ‘*With her ten thousand square miles of national parks, Canada has set aside a heritage of beauty for the use of her people and their visitors,” the speaker continued, ”and in setting aside these national parks the Govern- ments have made them also game sanc- tuaries in the strictest sense of the word, thus saving for posterity the wild life of the Rocky Mountains and other territories, just as they saved from extinction the last remnants of the great buffalo herds which once roamed the western plains.”

Canadians who leave the Dominion in search of holiday areas are robbing themselves, Mh • Longstaff stated. Within the borders of the Dominion they can find every type of holiday area, during either winter or summer Hunters and fishermen find virgin streams and forests awaiting their gun Or fishing tackle, the lover of mountain climbing finds in Jasper National Park hundreds of unelimbable mountain peaks awaiting the challenge of the Alpinist, while the camera devotee visiting the great national parks can return with trophies of wild life and scenic surroundings unsurpassed in any other country. Nor is this beauty unat- tainable, for the lines of the Canadian National Railways, running across the northern section of the provinces, are on the verge of the wilderness, and in such beauty spots as Minaki, in the Lake of the Woods region and Jasper National Park, in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, . splendid sümmer lodges are operated for the comfort and convenience of tourists.

The . address was illustrated with mo tion picture films featuring Maligne Lake, the largest glacial lake in thie Canadian Rockies, and the experiences of a trail' riding party visiting this beautiful area from Jasper Park Lodge; Minaki Lodge, in the Lake of the Woods sectioon of Ontario was also shown as was a third film of winter sports in the Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec districts showing spectacular ski stunts and other features of winter sports. These films, is was explained, were from the Cana- dian National motion picture libraries of sports and vacation films, shown by the company for the purpose of telling the pictorial story of Canada’s attrac- tions both in Canada and other countries.

tndorses Grants For Geed Gleaning

The Agriculture . and Colonization Committee of Legislature, in its first meeting of the present session held last week, endorsed the joint proposal of the Ontario and Dominion Govern ments to supply grants to encourage* the erection and operation of power seed-cleaning plants^ in Ontario, bu:-. only after Mark 'Vaughan (Conserva- tive, Welland) had urged a resolution asking legislation to eompell all farmers ”to put nothing else but pure seed into their drills.”

Speaking from his thirty years’ experience as a seed merchant, Mr. Vau- ghan lamented the stiff grading regulations under which the merchant had, he said, to carry on business, and stated that if the.whole purpose of the seed-cleanihig plant prcuposal, shortlrt" to be made effective in Ontariq;^ was to raise better crops, tlien the farmer wlio “owed some obligation to hiinself. surely,” should be forced to see that the seed he planted was solely “graded stuff.”

“If we could get every farmer in the Province to clean his stuff first, in his own fanning mill, or elsewhere,” said Mr. Vaughan, “We would be growing grain in our fields^ and not part-weed crops.”

Mr. Vaughan did succeed, however, in getting Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture, to consent to an amending of the pending seed-plant grant regulations so as require 50 bona-fide farmers residing in a district, instead of 25 as originally stated, to support the application for the seed- cleaning machinery, which is part of the Government’s proposition. A further move on his p-rt tu have the 50 farmers ‘contract” to support their cleaning mill was f. owned down by the committee.

The committee, cn the suggestion of Colonel Kennedy ,adopted the poliev advocated by Liberal House Leader William E. N. Sinclair in his debate address, and will function -for the bal- ance of this session as an inquiry com

“Tom" Repp, Dld-Timep of The Nopth, Tells Hepald of Some

Of His Many Expepiences (Grande Prairie Herald)

(Continued) Following- repacking and eacTiing

Kerr went down the river about eight miles w'^here he had reason to believe a band of Indians were camping. When he arrived he found to his disappoint- ment that the Indians had left, ev.- dently going to Gr,ouard for Christmas, as was their custom. The trip search of the Indians was made in the hope of getting a dog train with which to take his'wife to Carcajou Point (Cree for wolverine) . wheYe the company had a post.

Kerr returned to the cache where it was decided to return to Peace River. Food was getting, scarce and it was necessary to shoot rabbits along the way. Finally a half-breed’s shack near the crossing was reached at about three o’clock in the morning. Here the Kerr’s stayed until the 15th of March and then started down the river by dog train. Tom broke trail, an Indian drove the dogs^ and Mrs. Kerr was comfortably tucked away in the sleigh. The party made about 25 miles the first àay. It snowed all that night, which made the going from this time oa very heavy. Sergeant Butl€?iv pf tife Mouuties, who was on his way to Fort Vermilion for a prisoner, was met at this point. The entire party camped at Battle River and travelled together to • Carcajou Point. Here the Kerrs camped for a day, while Sar- geant Butler went on, believing.that the. Kerr party would catch up. How- ever, Tom saw' to it that they did not overtake the Sargeant. ^‘We kept jiist a camp behind. I thought it was otly fair for the sargeant to break trail for part of the way.’ âid Tom with a twinkle jin his eye.

After . staying a night at Fort Ver* million the last lap of the long journey was con^mejieed, the . 65 miles being made in two days.^ The total distance travelled by Kerr, not including the trips back to the crossing, was 365 mRes, all of which was made on snow shoes. i

,‘J'he Kerr’s three children, Janet, William and Mary, were boVu at Little Red River. So far as known they ate thp first and only w'hite children ever boyn at this point.

' On one occasion when the Kerrs were at Fort Vermillion getting supplies they met Archie Ponton, Domin ioh Government surveyor.lt was agreed that they all go down'the river together, so tw'o rafts were strapped together upon which the supplies and Ponton’s instruments tYere placed. All the party were on the rafts except Ponton, who was following in a canoe. Wien near the rapids about two miles above the schutes ,the current was' so swift that it jerked tlie ropes out of the hands o fthe Indians ‘ whe were guiding the rafts from the shore. Out

control, the rafts began spinning like a wheel and the .situation ' looked diisparate the raft stuck on a rock long 'enough for Kerr to get his family and the half-breed, who was on board, into a ■ boat wheih they were trailing. The rafts were carried about twenty-five yards, when they broke in two and everything including Ponton’s costly instruments, was dumped into the fiver. •

which was made in the interests of Mis. Kerr’s health, Kenr was put in cliargO of the post at Grouard for the winter. Oi^ the way to Grouard the Kierr s w'ere delayed for some** time at Sawbridge, owing to the facti that the icc was just forming on Slave Lake.

Later Kerr took charge of the company’s posts at Fort McMurray anci Fort McKay.

The family were growing up and there w'erc no schools. The education of the children became -the first consideration. A transfer was asked for and granted, and the Kerrs returned to Grouard. where tîere were tw'o schools. On arriving at Grouard, Kerr was immediately ordered to Sturgeon Lake to take the place of the manager Angus McLean, who was ill, and who later died at Athabasca Landing. This was in the year 1911

About three years later Kerr resigned from the company, went to Ed- monton, brought back goods and started in business for himself which he still conducts. He is also postmaster.

In the Kerr garden in front oftheir home are a number of Manitoba Maples which grew from slips taken from the trees at Dunvegian which Tom had helped to plant many years, previous.

While Kerr was manager of the post at Hudson’s Hope, an Indian accident- ally shot his (the Indian*^) father-in- law, w'hile out hunting. The victim of the accident was a priest of the tribe and the Indians insisted on shooting the young man, but the father-in-law, who died three days later, pleaded with them to let the young man go, as he knew the shooting to be ac an accident.

In remorse the young Indian chop- ped off both his thumbs and big toes, and refused any medical assistance. He died later in terrible agony with gang- rene.

On one occasion four or five bands of timber wolves killed' the entire bunch of 32 horses belonging •. to the Company, which were kept on the Red River; seven miles away. ‘‘During that winter,”, said Tom, in discussing the incident. ‘I managed to trap 23 of this band.

One of the great difficulties at times was to get sufficient food. In dis cussing this phase of thp early pioneer life of the north, Tom told the following interesting tale:

‘Grub at this time was very scarce. Game was scarce and the Indians were practically starving, so it was impos sible to get any meat from them. My partner, a man by. the name of Harvey, and I fared no better. Every scrap of food had been consumed and we were living bn wild carrots, rhubarb and turnips, when along came Valentine who w'orked for Davis. He said that Davis was low' on provisions^ and that he (Valentine) was going to Hudson’s Hope to meet M. P. Elmore, Davis’s partner, w’ho w'as coming in from the wes^ with supplies for the posts. Har- vey accompanied Valentine and returned in 14 days with.50 pounds of flour, for which he paid $25. He found] me in bed, so weak that I could not get up. However, in four .or five days I was able to be around again. Elmore gave Valentine supplies enough to take him tb Du'nvegan, As he started out, Elmore shouted. ‘Tell Davis to look through hsi spy glass and see us com iug. ’ At that time there w'as some business disagreement between the part- ners. When Valentine arrived at Dun- vegau, Davis took an outfit and grub and w'cnt to Battle River to trap Beaver. Elmore sold the building to the mission and cleared everything of value out.”

In the early days the medicine man played a most important part. He wa« the w'ise man,*the prophet of the tribe.

The following story was also told by the veteran HudsoIl^^’3 Bay man:

‘■In the early days the-Indians from

the Liard, Hudson Hope and Fort S<‘. John met at the junction of the Half- way and the Pine twice a year. In the spring to sell their fur and in the fall to get supplies. They then de- parted for their respective areas. The Indians from the Hudson Hope country usually stopped over for some time at Hudson Hope and held a sort of celebration. On this particular occa sion the medicine man retired to his tent, into w’hich no Indian w'as admitted and went into a supposed trance for four or five days. Spread over him was a large parchment on which was paint- ed th epietures of wdld animals. During this time he was supposed to go without any food- Of course I could go into the tent any time, ' and I often caught the medicine man’s squaw putting food under the parchment. When the medicine man finally came out of his trance he appeared before the trible and told them all that was going to happen betw'cen that time and the next meeting. He stated that there was a big animal in the mountains w'hich if they could kill they would never go hungry.”

The other old-time Hudson Bay man w'ho came to the North about five years after Mr. Kerr, is Fred Beaton, now retired and living at Old Fort St. John.

It seems only fitting that after so many years of pioneering, with all its hardships, that Mr. and Mrs. Kerr should find themselves living peacefully on the shore of the beautiful Sturgeon Lakc^ amid nature at its best.

Trail Rangers and Tuxis Bnys Flan To Raise

When the old settlers arrived in tlie Grand Prairie district ,they found tlie country partly prairie and partly park lands. How this condition came about, we will let ‘Tom” himself tell the story. y

“In 1887 Father Grouard and I were at the Hudson’s Bay post in‘the month of May, the priest having come out to visit the Indians. We got up one Sun day morning anti found we had nothing to eat in tlie house and I ask ed Father Grouard if there was any harm in shooting on Sunday. He re- plied that under the cireurfistances there w'as no harm at all. So I sad- dled a horse and went out to Lake Saskatoon, made a raft, and hunted all day. After I had procured several ducks I camped for the night and rode back to the post the following niorii ing. After I had ridden a mile or so I looked back and noticed a big smoke. I knew immediately that it must have been caused by my fire, as there were no Indians in that directioh. I rode on as rapidly as possible to the post and informed Father Grouard that there would soon be a big fire as my camp fire had gotten away. It took five; days for the fire to reach the post. It was a literal hell. Whenever the file beached a fresh bluff of poplars or willows there was an explosion. The priest went among the Indians to help them fight the fire and keep a place clear for the camps, but the Indians all made a rush into the water of a small lake, they were camped alongside and stood in the water up to the^r head and stayed there until the fire had passed on.' It was an event long to be remembered, but it cleaned the counti-y from Grande Prarie to Pouce Coupe and went down across the Smoky rivch. At that time there was aa much bush in the Grande Prairie district as there is at Sturgeon Lake today. The fire helped to,make the dis trict one of the finest settlements in Alberta.

“After I left Grande Prairie in 1888 Peter Gunn, my close friend, took charge <>f the post.

‘’‘Tom” stated that it gives him great pleasure to visit Grande Prairie once or twice a year and sec how the town is growing, and reflect on the times when he used to be alone sometimes for two months and never saw even an Indian, but he said “those were the happy days as the only thing we had to think about was getting something to eat. At that we were like the bears. We could smell wild carrots, wild rhubarb, wild turnips, etc., and if we couldn’t get any of | those we just tightened our belts and got out and hunted game.” |

One liundrex^ and twenty members of the Ontario Older Boys’ Parliament and more than seventy local boys’ work boards are busy today preparing their plans for the raising of $13,000, with which to carry on Trail Ranger and Tuxis work during the coming year. It is hoped that 12,000 Tiixis boys and Trail Rangers will help their leaders in this great effort

The word Tuxis is a coined word made up of letters having a special significance. “X” in the centre stands for Christ with You (“U”) “I” on either side. The “T” means Training and “S” Service, so the word implied co-operating in training and service for Christ.

These two programs, Trail Rangers for boys 12 to 14 and Taxis for bo^'s 15 to 17, are used by the Protestant churches in providing training in complete Christian living. Through them the church is helpings boys who are living in one of the most impression- able periods of life to Seek Truth— Cherish Health—Love God—Serve Others. On Sundays the groups meît in the church as Sunday School Classes and during the midweek for those ac tivities that are dear .to the heart of every boy.

Associated with these programs there has grown up a monument that for year now has been finding expressipn through ditriet camps—boys’ work conferences and the Older Boys’ Parliament. The democracy of this Tuxis movement in which older boys share responsibility with men is perhaps best illustrated in the Older Boys’ Parliament which, con- trary to what some folks imagine, is anything but a mock parliament. In fact the principle purpose of the parliament is not to legislate at all but rather t ogive boys a larger part to play iu the carrying on of their own work.

The money raised by the boys in this campaign is for both , provincial and local work and will be used by the Boys’ Work Boards of the province in setting up and supervising District Gamps. Boys’ Work Conferences, Father and Son Activities, Athletic Meets and the M'ork of the Parliament.

Work of this character is helpful to the community, the Church and Sundav School. It develops resourcefulness initiative and originality, in the boys and directs their energies into whole-; some channels. It has had encouragv^- ment from governments, service clubs and good citizens generally. Its standards are exceptionally high and arc worthy of extension to every nook and corner of Ontario.

The boys who go out, unselfishly and enthusiastically in February, to and enthusiastically in Feb-, to rais‘d the money needed by their prbvincia^ movement are showing a spirit that should meet with the most generous and practical approval of the citizens*.'

“These arè just a few questions— leading questions, as a lawyer would say—which might form the basis for an interesting discussion by Mr. Price or any other politician were he in the mood to furnish the answers.”

Perhaps no further comment is necessary, but ‘it would appear as if the Stratford writer has opened up a question that will long continue to be an unanswered question in the minds of many voters. Politicians of whatever complexion will hesitate to publish in the press au tlientic records of names and amounts subscribed to campaign funds.

HON. ERNEST LAPOINTE RE- TURNS TO THE CAPITAL

Who Puls lip ? Galt Reporter: “■\\’l)o finances elec-

tions?” In an editorial under this heading, the Stratford Beacon-Herald, refering to charges made by Attorney j General Price and subsequently denied, that a certain gentleman was supply . iug the cash to finance the campaign ' of the opposition candidate in the recent by-election at Hamilton, takes the opportunity to suggest a rather,pertin- ent line of thought as follows. ' “A good many people would like to

know how elections, both Provincial and Federal, are financed. They would like to know where the fund comes from that is supposedly kept at a mys- terious place called central headquar- ters.

“Who puts the money there.in the first place?

“Who goes out and sees to it that contributions are forthcoming?

“Do those who put up the money hope for anything in return?

“If they do, what do they want, and are they ever disappointed?

cm Ireland, in hig Lentel pastoral c.i-

tized scathingly—Radio, the movies,

newspapers, dancing, flirting in parked

automobiles and certain traits of the

younger generation were also eriticiz-

I The Primate said that there was a

craze for pleasure and excitement

among the young, impatient of parental control, which in certain districts approached something of a mantia, particularly for dancing.

He referred to radio broadcasts and movies as' a ‘ ‘ distraction, not to use a stronger word,” and commented that demoralizing effects inevitably were produced by the printed matter of today, much of which is worldly and god- less.

As a result of automobiles, buses and bicycles, he said, boys and girls can travel long distances to dances with the result that a dance in the quietest parish may be attended by undesir- ables from afar.

“Here let me refer,” the'Primate added, “to what I’m assured is the great and common source of evil, park- ing of motor cars close to dance halls in badly lighted village streets or on

■dark country roads. I am told that cars so placed are used by young people for sitting out intervals between dances. Now I believe that those in charge of dances halls are bound even in charity to the young people themselves to see that such occasions of sin shall not be allowed.

“Cars ought to be parked a considerable distance from the hall and one or two elderly people put in charge.”

EVERY TOWN HAS BUSINESS CONCERNS THAT ADVERTISE CONTINUOUSLY. THEY BRING MUCH BUSINESS TO THE HOME TOWN.

In the same towns can be found a large number who sit idly

by and wait to get some of the business brought to the town by

the energy of the continuous advertisers.

Continuous advertisers are the ones who are fully aware of the obligation they owe the people they serve. As evidence of

this they couple service and quality with advertising.

The sales of continuous advertisers are always increasing, and they rightly attribute their success to the selling help of advertising.

There is no story more interesting than the story of the

great concerns that have become great on the solid foundation of

quality and advertising. The story of their growth is inspira-

tional.

Continuous advertising increases turnover, which brings more profits. Business concerns who have the foresight to ad-

vertise their wares, are those that get the big business.

CONTINUOUS ADVERTISING WILL WIN NEW BUSINESS FOR ANY CONCERN.

KATHUeeM 4 MARY PICKFOftO FAIR®ANK^->9^7 By KATHuee

SIXTH INSTALLMENT Maggie Johnson, whose father is a

letter-carrier, is the domestic drudge of the humble home where her mothei does little e:êpt bemoan the fact that she has ‘'seen better days’^ and her sister Liz, who works in a beauty shop, lies abed late. Maggie has to get the family breakfast before she starts out tO' her job in the Five-and- Ten- Cent/ Store.

There’s a new boy at the Five-and« Ten, Jo^ Grant. He tells Maggie that he has been assigned to work as her helper in the stoc^ room. ' He seems rather dumb, but Maggie helps him through his first day at the store and shares her lunch with him in a cubby- hole of a place that belongs to a mat tress factory next door to the Fivc- and-Ten.

They are looking over some cheap picture cards. One of them has a mot- to that strike’s Maggie’s fancy. “The way to begin the ideal life is to be gin.” She 'and Joe talk about that and Joe is surprised that the girl has higher standards than he had suspected. When he'"goes home that'night "he is thinking about Maggie. And his home

herel’è had almost immediately disap peared into what later proved to be her bedroom door,—Joe had followed the little hall into an empty dining room smelling of rotting apples and dust, and had put his head in at the kitchen doorway-

Ma Johnson^ a heavy, woollen ki mon'o tied about her ample form with draggled tassles, was in the rocker.

At the sink stood a nondescript, for lorn little figure that Joe could not for some minutes at all identify with the gallant picture he had formed of Mag- gie’s father.

Behind the table and between the sink and stove was Maggie. She rook- ed at him and said delightedly:

“Well, what do you know. I never heard you ring. If it isn’t Joe Grant! Joe, have you had dinner?”

“Just up from the table. Hello, Maggie,” Joe said, grinning.

“This is my mother, make you ac- quainted with my father; Pop, this is Joe Grant,” said Maggie.

Ma was evidently n'ot favourably impressed by Maggie’s friend.

“I didn’t know you expected a caller, Maggie”

"Who’s the other woman, Joe?” she drawled theatrically. “God you are a brute!” "There isn’t any other woman.” He believed it.

is the home of .the owner of the Mack Five and Ten-Cent Stores, thoTigh Maggie does not suspect that he is the boss’ son.

Maggie, at home, begins to suspect that her mother’s complaints are due to that lady’» belief that happiness depends upon material things, while at the store she continues to surprise Joe by her appreciation of the realities of life. , ,

Joe knew thatMaggie was falling in love with him before Maggie discover- ed it. But he was a little slow in dis- covering that he, in turn, was falling in love with Maggie. But he admitted to himself that his admiration for her was growing, and the girls in the store began to notice something different about her.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “But now, Listen .Joe,” she resum-

ed seriously, “here's what I want t) ask you. Cfuld anyone who wasn’t born

• to be a lady—now, f ’rinstance, like me—mymother talks a lot about my grandmother Pethridge, but—but my mother”—she hesitated—“you wVjuld- n’t say she was always puttin’ others first, and thinkin-ger an’ servin-ger others before she does herself. You wouldn’t—honest!—say that, Joe, So that—” Again, she paused. ,“An’ ’Lizabeth positively is awrt ;a lady!” she admitted regretfully. “Well, anyway, I do not think Liz is a lady—not yet, anyway. But Joe-^de you think”

Again she flpundered. “I guess T couldn’t!” she said hastily, shrinking

gallant, and he saw she was trying to save his feelings. “Ynu don't have to tell me, Joe,” she said.

“Maggie, .1 not only believe you could, but I believe you wlU!”

“Well, if you say so,” she almost sang, and she rattled Joyously away.

On the next Sunday he -went to her. . ^ ’

He reached the Johnson cottage in the neighborhood of three o’clock.

He had to wait a. few, cold, wet, sil • ent minutes before footsteps, audibly approaching through the house, noti- fied him that it had been heard.

Miss EUzabeth Johnson admitted, him. For want of any guidance,—for Liz, after a shout of '.'Maggie! Man

'^''I didn’t, Ma. Sit down, Joe. You don’t have to finish those if you don’t want to, Pa. I hate to have you— take off your apron.”

“Sometimes—my father — kinder helps me, Joe,” she stammered, with her gallant little smile.

“I don’t mind wipin’ ’em one bit, Maggie, her father's mild voice said surprisedly-

“I'll help you,” said Joe, putting his hat and coat on a chair in the corner of the kitchen and helping himself to a dish towhl.

“When we haven't a maid we eat out here. I'm one that's always had,” said Mts. J-ohnson. “So it don’t come- very easy for me to put up with this sort of ftiing. ”• -

“I see,” Joe said, nodding. He sat down on the edge of a chair, and clea.- ed his throat, and said politely.

“Mrs. Johnson, if you’ve no objection, could Maggie go out with me for a while?”

“Wlhy, I haven’t no -objections,-’, Mrs. Johnson said discontentedly, after a moment. “Maggie isn’t nothing but a child^ Mr. Grant, an’ her father an’ I don’t want her to get no silly notions into her head.”

‘ ' Temp’rarily—temp’rarily she has accepted a positi-on, .in a — well, in a five-and-ten, ’ * said Ma. ' ‘

“I work there .myself, you know, Mrs. Johnson.”

“I’ve no doubt you do! An’ I’ve no doubt it’s a real nice place an’ all that,” conceded Ma loftily* “But it isn’t Maggie’s sort of place. To put the whole thing into a nut-shell Mrs. Johnson was resuming briskly, when Joe's opportunity to discover whether she was really capable of this elision was destroyed by Maggie's ab rubjb reentrance into the kitchen, and in another-minute they wero out in the dull, cord, wintry Sunday street, and she was dancing along at his side.

“Want to go to a movie, Maggie?’' “Oh, I’d love it!” 'How about The Highwayman?” “Oh, Joe, no! That’s a sixty-cent

show. There are lots of nice little ones over on Chelsea Avenue here for twenty-five.”

They were at the window, he pit down his money. But there were nothing left on this Sunday afternoon but loges, at a dollar a chair. Maggie’s âce fell^ and immediately her eyes widened and she caught at his arm.

“Joe, don’t be a fool! Two dollars! It isn’t worth it!”

But he saw her give a little bounce of sheer excitement and felicity as they went in -past the mirrors and. marble columns and red boundary ropes, and he thought it was. Their seats were in the very front of the balcony—deep, comfortable seats, with wide arms.

It was pleasant, somehow, to have that earnest little fragrant baby fac' come close to his in the dark, and that fuzzy aureole of gold brush his cheek and that eager little whisper reach his

Joe kept his handsome head bent close tk> hers, and leaned his shoulder even closer.

Her face was beaming with satisfaction and wet with tears when they came out into the chilly dusk.

In parting he presented her with an enormous box of . sweets.

“Oh, Joe. Grant! Oh, Joe—two pounds! Oh. thank you—thank You!”

“Oh, hush,” he said. “Now you run in and I’ll watch you until you're in- side the door.”*

She fled up the path, tried the knob of the porch door, called a joyous “Good-night and thank you!” into the dark^ was silhouetted against a gush of red light, and then was gone.

Joe walked two blocks to his car. raging at himself.

'■'Gosh, what a fool I am! What on earth did I do that for?”

Millicent Russell, sitting next to him ^t dinner, was a pretty girl. From a point an inch or two below her arm pits, to a point an inch or two above her knees, she was packed into a tube; of spangled satin. Her arms were heavy with links of gold and .platinum, her legs looked bare, if they were not actually bare, her feet were elevated dizzily upon pinnacles of gold leather. Her cheeks were smoothly and brilli- antly rouged, her lips stiff with grease, her eyebr<ows shaved into two start- ling, inky arcs. Millicent’s breath was thick of alcohol and nicotine, her eyelidSj coloured with blue oil, were lowered with fatigue and boredom, and she had no more hair than her brother had. ,

“I thought you had to go to prison to get a clip like that!” said Joe.

‘Isn’t it adorable? They call it the cocotte,” Millicent told him enthusiastically.

'It’s a crown of glory. If I were a girl,” Joe said, with sudden fire, “I’d have hair. Beautiful braids and curls and masses—of hair. It’s pretty!”

“Say the word, Joe ,and I’ll be your little covered wagon,” suggested Mil- licent, in an odd tone, and with a daring little laugh.

“Nothing doing. I’m in. coll,” Joe answered.

“You’re iiot in eoll! You're working. I like you an awful lot, Joe. You think I'm crazy, saying this. Perhaps I am. But ' '—her voice was husky— but I like you an awful lot^ Joe.”

Girls alway said that to him, and presumably to all the other fellows, when an evening had reached about this point, Joe, reflected. That was the way persons got engaged, nowa- days.

Millicent was trying it now. Right here, at the Carters’ h’ot, crowded, stu- pid party, Millicent Russell was trying to land him

“Nothing stirring,” he said briefly. “Come on, let’s dance.”

Millicent raised tho heavy eyelids, looked at him with superb insolence.

“■Who^s the other woman, Joe?” she drawled theatrically. “God, you an a brute! ”

“There isn’t*any other woman!” He believed it. Yet^ even now, when his face was close to Millicent’s curl- ed, perfumed bobbed head, he had a sudden memory of Maggie, childlike and eager, in a sleezy little faded whit-e dress, with a mop of living gold tumb- ling upon her small shoulders.

He told himself, when Monday a?- rived, and he reached the store to find a demurely radiant Maggie prettier and more endearingly .proprietary in her manner toward him than ever, that this nonsense must stop. Therefore, it was with a real surprise th^t he heard himself saying to her, late on Tuesday afternoon:

“What you doing to-night, Mag- gie?’ ’

“Night school,” she answered, col- our and breath beginning their usual acceleration instantly.

“Night school! I didn’t know you went to night school!”

“Why—why, but you told me to!” she accused him, reproachfully. - —when did T? How do you mean

WHY DODD’S KIDNEY PILLS ARE SO POPULAR

They are Invaluable as a Family Medicine as well as a Preventive and

a Help for All Kidney Ailments. Emsdale, Ont. Feb. 22nd—(Special)

There are two things certain in this world. One is that everybody is liable at some time orother to an attack of kidney trouble, the other is that Dodd’s Kidney Pills relieve all forms of Kidney derangements, even when all other remedies have failed. Still more proof of what Dodd’s Kidney Pills are doing is furnished by Mrs. John McPhail, a respected resident of this place. She writes:—“My back was very painful indeed. I got some Dodd's Kidney Pills, and before long it was better. My little boy has been sick quite a lot. He suffered with involuntary urination. I tried all kinds of things but they did no good. At last I gave him Dodd’s Kidney Pills and they soon did him a lot of good. Many thanks to Dodd’s Kidney Pills.”

so' sure you can get what you want! You'll be sick for more than kisses, then, Maggie, and afraid to take them. The whole world will turn itself invo a sort of blur, with a man in the centre, and when he speaks you'll answer, and you'll say what he wants you tJ say, too. Don’t foo*! yourself. You and I are friends—friends— friends—I was down and out when we first began to

“Did I?” He was stricken. “What do you study?” he asked.

“Political economy and French,” she answered bravely.

“That’s a darn good choice!” Joe assured her. “If ever you go abroad, you don’t want to be embarassed about pronouncing words. ’ ’

‘Maggie!” came a harsh 'ôice from upstairs at this point. “Maggie John- son! What’s happene^ you down there in the stockrobm? Start your trotters up here with them felay medallions!”

“Oh^ holy Nelly!” Maggie ejacu- lated, seizing the green cards upon which the medallions were stitched, and fleeing wildly from Joe^s too seductive neighbourhood. “She sent me down for them fifteen minutes ago.”

She léft Joe very thoughtful. He took an opportunity, when they chanc- ed to be entering the automat together *^for a late luncheon, to say delib- erately:

“Look here, Maggie. I’ve got something on my mind to say you, and by George I’m going to say it. I w’ant to warn you. Don’t waste time, at seventten ,taking any crush too seriously,”

“Who do you think I’ve got a crush on, Joe?”

“I know damn’ w'cil whom you’ve got a crush on!” Joe growled.

“Is zat so?” Maggie asked, flush- ing. “ Suppose the person I had a crush on had a crush on me ?’'.’.^^she asked. i “A person might lê you a lot, Maggie, and wish for all sorts of good things for you,” Joe said rather slowly. “Without—without, I say^ having a crush on you!”

“■Well, that’d be en“ough for me,” she answered, still in the same audt-'- eious, high-spirited key. “I don’t want any kissin’, an’ as for pettin’ parties.”

“Now, look here, you little idiot,” he said, half angry and half laughing, 'don’t you think you can get away with that sort of thing! When your hours strikes, my dear^ you w*on’t be

CRIPPLED CHILDREN A crippled child, to the. majority of

people^ is a child who is deformed physically, or who is without part of a limb. This is hardly a correct view point because a child whose body is damaged or deficient in any way is a crippl^. The child who has a damaged heart is just as much a cripple as is the child who has lost an arm or a leg.

Crippled children should have the ex tra attention which they require on account of their handicap in order to make life as nearly normal as possible for them and to guide their education so that they may become self-support- ing adults.

There is a general wilingness, which is altogether commendable to lighten the burden and to brighten the lives ofv those w’ho are physically handicapped In this age ,despite all the criti cisms which are being heaped upon it, there exists, more than in any previous age, an appreciation that every chil.d has a right to a fair chance in the world. * While it is true that the crippled child should be l;(dped, the sight of such a child should not only be an in- spiration to help li m, but should lead us to determinatio’i to help to prevent any child from becoming crippled. Oo the most that can be done for the crippled child, and he will still be handicapped in life’s venture; far better would it have been to have prevented the disability entirely.

To a large extent, crippling may be

prevented. Tuberculosis of the bones in children is one cause which can be largely controlled by using only milk which is pasteurized, N and thus made safe and rendered free fr-om danger of its carrying tuberculosis to the child. Another means is by protecting the young child from exposure to any case of tübereulosis.

Infantile Paralysis (Polimyelitis) is one of the common causes of crippling. The treatment with convales- cent serum before the paralysis develops is, of course, the best preventive measure, as such treatment will usually prevent the paralysis and the subse- quent crippled condition. If the paralysis does develop, then proper care will do a great deal to prevent serious crippling. If such cases are not und'r 'proper care,'the results will be much more serious than they would be had proper treatment been given.

The damage to organs of%he body which cripples the child can, in very many eases, be prevented by safeguard- ing the child from such diseases as measles and scarlet fever which often leave permanent damage in their trail, by proper treatment of conditions such as St. Vitus’ Dance and discharging ears, and by the correction of such conditions as diseased tonsils and teeth before they have a chance to do any damage to the vital organs of thomody.

GENERALLY speaking, a business ' man is averse to having his stationery changed from the accepted form. For ten, twenty; or more years it has conformed to a rigid standard, and usually, he feels it should be kept so.

But consider this : If the business itself was conducted on a basis of 1910 merchandising policies would the customers of 1930 patronize that business?

Business stationery and printed forms are an integral part of every going concern. When a cus- tomer or business associate reads a message or in- voice from an indifferently printed or constructed piece of stationery the impression is not good.

MES. W. A. SNIDEE

Few deaths have in recent years so stirred the community in deeper or more sympathetic remembrance than the passing of Mrs. W. A. Snider, 4t Concession of Lancaster, on Monday, 16th February, ,at the age of 58 years. And not often is a young family called upon to part with both parents in the short space of three months, M"^. W. A. Snider entering into his rest November 10th, 1930.

Before his passing a fatal malady was getting in its work on the phvsi- eal health of Mrs. Snider and too soon her many friends realized that her illness was serious and' from that time on much sorrow was felt and expressed-

Mrs. Snider, who was Sara Bell.*, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rory McCrimmon, 3rd Lancaster early in life showed rare talents and in tellectual gifts which commanded the admiration and respect of the entire community. She _ chose teaching for her life vocation and excelled in the profession.

Many a young man and woman today have cause for gratitude on ae count of her tireless energy and wide awake intellectual sympathies. And youUg -people, in all walks of life, will kindly remember her patient and beneficent influence and though far from here now they will feel with her neighbors and friends a personal bereavement.

Mrs. Snider never failed to respond to any call for aid for her interests in the topics of the day persisted to the end. She was a brilliant conversation- alist and one never talked with .her but they learned something- of interest She has gone to her reward but her memory will remain long in the hearts and minds of all who knew and loved her.

She leaves to mourn the loss of a de- voted mother three $ons, Howard, Les- lie and Keith and on,e daughter Isa- bel, also two brothers and two sistery, D. R. McCrimmon of Victoria, B.C., A. R McCrimmon of San Diego, Cal., Mrs. Dan Grant also of San Diego and Mrjj. Thos. McIntosh, of Laneastler.

The funeral service was held in St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, South Lancaster. Rev. L. H. Fowler conduct ed the service assisted by Rev. F. J, Vowles.

The pallbearers were Edgar Me Naughton, Stuart Snider, Vincent Martin, Jos. McCuaig^ D. R. Mcla- tosh and Rod, McCuaig.

Flowers during her illness and on the casket were received as follows, wreaths, the family; Glen Gordon W. M.S., "Williamstown High School, sprays

And life for them is life indeed, ^^e splendid goal of earth’s straight

race; And where no shadows intervene; They see Thy Face.

Free from the fret of mortal years, And knowing now Thy perfect will, With quickened sense and heightened

joy They serve Thee still.

O fuller,, sw’eeter, is that life And larger, ampler is the air Eye cannot see, nor heart conceive The glorj” there.

Nor know to what high purpose Thou Dost yet employ their ripened powers, Nor how at Thy behest they touch This life of ours.

There are no tears within their eyes; With love they keep perpetual tryst; And praise and work and rest are one, With Thee 0 Christ.
