SpecialMeelingoftlieClergy 01 the Diocese of ilexaodria On Tuesday December the 4th Hi&

Lordship the Bishop Of Alexandria held a full meeting of the clergy of hU Diocese in the Cathedral.

Hass was said at 10.30 in the pre- sence of the Bishop and Priests by the Administrator of the Cathedral the Beverend E. J. Macdonald-

Two conferences were held: one im mediately after the Mass, and the other in the afternoon at 2.30.

Matters of Ecclesiastical import were treated by the Bishop and his clergy,

It was officially announced that in future the Bight Eev,erend Monsignor George Corbet, Vicar General Protono tary Apostolic by reason of his age and his many labours, was to limit Ms duties of Vicar General to his own Parish of St. Columban, Cornwall.

The Right Reverend A. A. McRae of •St. Andrews West was appointed by the Bishop as Vicar General for the rest of the Diocese.

In an official letter, which the Bishop read to Monsignor Corbet when making the change, His Lordship re- ferred to the necessity of calling on the younger men of ability and experience to take their turn in bearing the res- ponsibility of rank and office. Vener- able workers were entitled to be re- lieved, so that with their experience they could see others work and if necess- ary help them, whilst they themselves en- joyed comparative rest from their own labours.

Monsignor George Corbet has reach- ed the eigh.ty-fifth year of his age. He was some years ago created, by His Holiness Pope Pius XI, a Protonotary Apostolic, (one of the highest Prela- cies in the Church after the Episco- pate) on account of his many valuable •services to-the Church. “THE VICAR retains the title and the honours of Vicar General and his full jurisdiction over his Parish, so that all, who have known him for so many years, can still •call him by the title he probably loves Lest having known it for so long. May the VICAR continue for many years yet his devoted ministrations and en- joy to the full, the fruit of his labours.

The congratulations of’ the Diocese go to Monsignor Albert Alexander Mc- Rae who by his deep learning, his de- votion to duty and his never failing strong sympathy has won not only the confidence and trust of his Bishop and fellow priests but the respect and de- votion of all who know him.

Mined Northern Gold Fields Getore the Klondike Dush

After fifty-two years- in the north- ern gold fields, a native son of Glen- garry county, Ontario, has “come out“ for the first time. He is John Me- crimmon, 77, who is now spending a lengthy visit in Vancouver trying to co-ordinate his recollects of the “Gas Town“ of 1876 with the thriving Paci- fic coast metropolis of to-day. His visit to the B.C. city is simply an in- terlude in his trek homeward to spend his old age 'amid scenes of his youth.

It was the lure of gold that brought him west at the age of 25. He travell ed across the continent on the newly completed Union Pacific Railway to San Francisco 'and thence up the coast to B.C. by boat.

He was working in a logging camp, the site of which is now an industrial section of Vancouver, when the news

■of the “ strike “ at Dease Lake reach- ed him. He left the woods and joined the stampede to Northern British Col- umbia.

In 1877 he ascended the Stricken River 160 miles to the head of naviga- tion where now stands the town of Telegraph Creek. He mine^the streams. Plowing into Dease Lake and the deep gravel benches which parallel them for over twenty years. There were over 3,000 men from all parts of the world in the Cassiar country during the sev- enties, Mr. McCrimmon said, and mil- lions in dust were taken from the streams.

In the spring of ’97 came the first whisper of 'the big strike “up north,” which afterwards developed into the Klondike’ discovery. Within four days McCrimmon and his companions quit the Cassiar diggings, the scene of a score of years’ labor, and, with dogs carrying their supplies ,struck out on the Teslin Trail for the Yukon.

“We hoped to get into Dawson be- fore the rush,” McCrimmon ‘recalls, “but when we made the town May 20, 1897, we, found 3,000. people there ahead of us. News of gold travels fast.”

Mr. McCrimmon was at one time a member of the Yukon council and like many more of the hardy spirits in the northern adventuT», shared largely in making histdry during the period of development.

And now after half a century has elapsed he is going home.—The Beaver, Toronto. .

Many Mourners Ailend Last Gad Obseguies

Impressive tribute was paid to ' one of Alexandria’s very prominent fam- ilies and one of the leading figures for years in the town’s church and social work, on Wednesday afternoon Nov- ember 28th, when a large coterie of re- latives and friends, from far and near, gathered at the home of Dr. J. D. Si- card, of Buckingham, to pay a last tribute to the memory of Mrs. R. H. Cowan whose removal by death in such a sudden manner had called forth uni- versal regret for her taking and untold sympathy for the bereaved husband, sou and daughter.

Besides the large attendance a pro- fusion of floral tributes from indivv duals and organizations bespoke the high esteem in w'hieh that es'timable lady was held.

The funeral service was held in th United Church, Buckingham, and was conducted by Rev. G. L. Hurst^ Minis- ter of that church.

The address, based upon the familiar W'ords, “In My Father’s House are many Mansions”, was given by Rev. D. M. Macleo-d, of Alexandria, who was for four year's Mrs. Cowan’s pastor, and who paid a fine tribute to the de- ceased referring to her many splen- did qualities and to the very valuable service rendered by her in many ways. With deep feeling he spoke of the great loss sustained by the Unitod Church, Alexandria^ and made special mention of the energetic, whole-hearted way in which she had worked for three years as President of the Ladies Aid Society. Reference was made to those gifts and graces which made it easy for her to have a multitude of friends, to ber warm hear^t, her generous nature, her deep^ practical sympathy with the needy ,her gracious hospitality enjoyed by all who visited her home.

Reference was made too to the fact that before coming to Alexandria, she was for years a member of the Pres- byterian (now the United Church), Buckingham, where she served as or- ganist and in other capacities, and where with Mr. Cowan she worshipped on Sunday evening, Nov. 2oth.

Feelingly • her pastor spoke of the great loss sustained by her friends, the community in which she lived, the church to which she belonged an4 es- pecially-those who were left behind in her home and in closing he saidthat jour- neying homeward^ she did not know she was so near her eternal home and ex- pressed the confidence that she had simply passed from one room to an- other great room in the Father’s Great House of many mansions, of many rooms.

The pallbearers were Messrs. E. Roy, P. Hambly and J. C. Hobbs, of Buck- ingham; W, J. Simpeo-n, E. B. Ostrom and E. H. Stimson of Alexandria.

Aniong those from Alexandria and vicinity in attendance were Mrs. W. D. McLeod, Mr. W. R. McLeod, th3 Misses Christena and Elizabeth Mc- Leod^ “Bonnie Brier”, Mr. and Mrs. D. D. MeSweyn, Dun vegan; Mr. and Mrs. John McLeistér, Mrs. J. T. Hope Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Stimson, Mr. W. J. Simpson, Mrs, E. J. Dever, Mrs. E. Irvine, Mrs, Fergus McRae, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Morris, Mr. and Mrs. P. C. McRae, Dr. H. L. Cheney Dr. D. A. McMaster, Messrs. Clarence Ostrom and T. J. Gormley, Alexandria.

Besides her husband and family, Mrs. Cowan is survived by three bro- thers, Dr. J. D. Sicard, of Bucking- ham, Jacob Sicard of Montreal, and Gideon Sicard of Plantagenet and five sisters Miss Marguerite Sicard, Planta- genet, Mrs. Oharbonneau and Mrs. Mit- chell, Montreal; Mrs. Racette, of Mus- kegon, Mich., and another sister in Chelmford, Ont.

We, whose privilege it was to fre- quently come in contact with the de- ceased, always felt it an opportunity for the strengthening of friendship appreciating as we did her many ster- ling qualities, none more so than he? kind, helpful and cheerful disposition which made her circle of friends, here and -throughout the county very wide.

In the United Church, last Sunday morning, before preaching from the words “Be ye also ready”, Mr. Mac- leod referred briefly to the great loss sustained by the church. He spoke of Mrs. Cowan many fine qualities and referred appreciatively to the service rendered by her in many ways, especially as President of-the Laddies Aid Society. He expressed the deep sympathy of pastor and people with the bereaved and suggested that the sorrowing should bo remembered in prayer.

In the course of her remarks she said the first annual ball, held in Alexan- ' that the allocation being raised was dria, under the auspices of the Offi I not the highest thing but when there cers of the Stormont, Dundas and Glen- ! was a growth in spiritual outlook and a greater censecration to the service of our Master. The need of funds for keeping up the work and where there are unoccupied places to go in and pos- sess the land for Christ, were all dealt with in a very able manner. Condi- tions in China, India and Japan where they are calling for workers is a chal- lenge to the church.

The work in the hospitals, school homes and evangelism needed every en- couragement and what was heartening that the fruits of the gospel is tell- ing in countless lives.

When one considers how much was spent in luxuries of all kinds and thou- sands, yes millions dying without the knowledge of Christ, it behooved every one to do their share for the extension of the Kingdom. Christ’s command to His disciples was to “Go unto all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” {That wa« still the command for the church. Our duty was not complete’ until' the last soul had been won to Christ.

In a few words, Mr. Mathewson ex- pressed the thanks of the congreg^ation to the speaker for the splendid address.

A large Thankoffering was received.

Wiiliamstown lawyer y Glengarry Magistrate Toronto, Ont., Dec. 5.—George A.

Watson, barrister, Wiiliamstown, Ont., was appointed magistrate for Glen- garry county following a cabinet coun- cil meeting iiere yesterday, Hon, W. H. Price, attorney general, made the a'linouncement.

For many years the Counties of Glen- garry and Dundas and the 'Town of Cornwall were presided over by one Magistrate. When the present Ontario Government came into power it was felt that the territory waflf-entirely too big for o-ne official. In time both Dundas and Cornwall were equipped with Magistrates of their own. The appointment of Mr. Watson to the Glengarry office is merely the comple- tion of the objective which Attorney- General Price has had in mind for some time.

Two county judges recently appoint- ed by the Dominion government now receive the customary appointment as surrogate court judges. -These are Judge L. McKinnon of Wellington, and Judge Henry Carpenter Wentworth.

Ontario Heports $237,000 Surplus Toronto, December 5.—The province

of Ontario has a surplus of $237^000 for the fiscal year ending October 31, 1928, it was announced tonight by Hon. Dr. J. D. Monteith, Provincial Trea- surer, in hi-s customary pre-sessional statement.

Dr. Monteith announced that the sur- plus remained after full provision had been made for discount of bonds and paying off $3,171,579 of the provincial debt under the 40-year retirement plan, and in spite of the fact that succession duties, one of the treasury’s greatest sources of income, fell approximately $4,800,000 below the returns for last year.

A. H. S. Pupils Win ^ Carter Scholarsliips

The Minister of Education has just announced the award of the Scholar- ships provided by the will of the late J. I. Carter of Sarnia. These Scholar- ships are awarded to the three candi- dates who obtained the highest Qiarks on not more than ten papers of the 1928 June Upper School examinations In the City of Toronto and in each of twenty-four counties, or groups of counties.

garry Highlanders and as the day is a day of remembrance the function, we mistake not, will bring many happy recollections to all who participated therein as it proved a great social event.

The large hall with its colorful back- ground of many flags, tartans and streamers, with its well waxed floor, presented an inviting appearance and' bespoke much labor on the part of the committee.

The highland garb of the men and the brilliant gowns of the ladies, toge- ther with the spirit of stirring high- land and more modern dances to the exceptionally fine programme of music furnished by Bram Rose’s ten piece or- chestra, of Montreal, kept one even if not dancing gaily beating time. Piper Angus Cameron of the Regimental Pip© Band^ during the evening rendered several selections and played for a popular young officer, in the person of Lieut. Morrison, when at the solicita- tion of many he in a finished manner- danced the Highland Fling.

Shortly after midnight refreshments were served and the hour of four haJ rung when a decision was arrived at that even one perfect night had to come to a close.

The Commanding Officer, Col. J. A. Gillies, ' during the evening, warmly thanked the many who had braved the elements to join with the officers of his regiment jn doing honor to Scotia’s patron saint and assured one and all that their presence was appreciated to the full and would prove an incentive to hold annually, under the Regi- ment’s auspices, a reunion of this des- cription.

It was realized by one and all had the night been ideal the attendance wOuld have taxed the capacity of the hall to its utmost.

The Colonel’s remarks brought a res- ponse in applause that must have con- vinced that* ■officer that’ the occasion for another gathering could not come too soon.

It was pleasing to note the many from Ottawa,

King Fighting Dneven Bailie Wilh lileess

f (Montreal Gazette)

London, December 9.-^The condi- tion of the King tonight was not very reassuring. His physicians in the usual evening bulletin said that his tempera- ture had risen in the last 24 hours, in- dicating increased activity of the Tung infection.

The uneven nature of the fight whicl His Majesty is waging against the dis- ease was shown by 'the two official reports issued today.

Two factors however, stand out ai important. The King has been able to get go-od periods of sleep, and it was announced in an otherwise less favor- able bulletin this evening, that ‘^hia strength is maintained.”

On the other hand his temperature has risen to a point higher than yes- terday’s, which was 100.2, indicating, as the bulletin phrased it, that “the recrudescence of t"he infection is still active.”

It becomes daily more evident that the pracess of recovery will be slow, and the anxiety of the royal physi- cians was again demonstrated tonight by the fact that th-e bulletin was sign- ed by four of them. Lord Dawson of Penn and Sir Stanley Hewett spent considerable time at Buckingham Pal- ace both in the morning and afternoon, and this evening they were joined by Sir E. Farquhar Buzzard and Sir Hum- phrey Rolleston.

It was later explained at the palace that the phrase used in the bulletin t*o describe the rise in temperature, point higher,” was not intended to mean a rise of one degree or even of one-tenth of a degree, but enly tha^ a slight heightening of the fever had occurred.

It was said authoritatively that the King had had a good day, with plenty of rest, and certainly was not worse than he was last night. His heart is still, the chief concern of the physi- cians^ and importance was attached to the statement in the bulletin that his. general strength was maintained.

The four physicians remained in con- sultation for about two hours, and again reviewed the entire case. Sir Stanley Hewett will sleep at the pal- ace tonight, as he has the past few nights, in order to bo at hand should any emergency arise.

Thé slight rise in temperature which was reported may throw a further bur- den upon His Maejsty’s heart, but the fact that the physicians were again

Montreal, Cornwall, • able to state that his strength was Hawkesbury and other outside points who had come to Alexandria to join in the festivities and left carrying with them good impressions of the dance and the town ef Alexandria as well.

We extend congratulations to Col. Gillies and the Officers of the S.D. & G. Highlanders, on the successful issue of this their first public^ function in Glengarry in several yeafs. ;

An Exercise in Map Drawing The aim of the exercise is to im-

press the general shape of the coun- try and the location of the centres of population. Perfect accuracy is not easy to achieve. The pupil should be helped by the measurement of some prominent points. One mechanical aid is as follows: Draw on the exercise a frame exactly the size of the îxmOiO in the book.

Take a rectangular piece' of white paper. Place the corner of the paper at the point to be located. Keep the two edges of the paper adjacent to the corner held at right angles to the two adjacent sides of frame. Mark on th<* paper the points where the two sides of the frame cross the sides of the paper. Now place these marks on the corres- ponding sides of the frame in the ex- ercise. The corner of the paper should now give the location of the point in the exercise. A series of these points will give guidance in drawing outline. The position of the cities may be found in the same way.

The teacher may combine classes for this exercise. The pupils may be given as much aid and explanation as the teacher wishes. The names of the cit- ies should be neatly printed at the right of the position of each city.

For classes III and IV the map to be sent to me on Dec. 15th, will be Eng-

competed comprises, Dundas, Stormont land and Wales. Twelve cities, one lake; and Glengarry, all the High Schools j five islands, five rivers, and five coast and Collegiate Institutes oC which are waters at least should be marked. Only

Moose Creek ex-resident Dies in ilberta

On Saturday, Nov. 3rd, the funeral of the late Mr. Angus McIntosh was held from pine-Croek Church, being large

, ly attended by residents from far and near. The service was conducted by the Rev. G. M. Barrett and the pall- bearers were Messrs. A. P. Bremmer J. B. Davis, S-S. Jenkins, John Harris, R. Ness and H. Currie. Interment took place in Pine Creek cemetery and many- beautiful floral offerings were receiv- ed from sympathising friends.

Early in the year, Mr, McIntosh’s health began .to fail and grew steadily worse till it culminated in a collapse on Oct. 12th. From this weak turn, he made only alight rallies until he fÎQ- ally passed away in the Calgary hos- pital, on Thursday, 1st November.

The deceased was born in Moose Creek, Stormont county, Ontario, in 1866, and came to De Winton district in June 1890 and bought three quar- ter sections of C. P. R. land. In the next few years he engaged in various enterprises including work upon the C. P.R. line from Calgary to McLeod. In 1903 he homesteaded the quarter upon which ho lived, which closely ad- joins the land he bought shortly after coming to the district. Mr, McIntosh joined Pin© Creek Church and was elected an Elder in 1902 which posi- tion he held until his death. He was also a trustee of the school di^rict and w^ always prominent in movements for the public welfare. In the provin- cial election in 1921, he contest©^ the constituency of Okotoks as a candidate of the Liberal party. In December 1909, he married Miss Ina McNaugh- ton, also of Btormont county by whom he is survived together with three sons, Leslie, aged 17, Ian, 15 and Campbell 10 years. Other relatives surviving are his aged mother and two brothers, Robert of Ottawa and George of Moose Creek, also two sisters, Mrs. James McLeod, of Carbon, Alta., and Miss Jane McIntosh, Moose Creek.

The late Mr. McIntosh enjoyed a wide acquaintance and an enviable re- putation throughout the whole district as a man of honorable^ Stirling char- acter and among his more intimate neighbors as a generous, warm hearted kindly friend who always was ready to share the joys or troubles of -this un- certain life. His passing is very much* regretted and tis presence will be sore- ly missed. Mr. McIntosh was a prom- inent member of the Southern Alberta Oldtimers Association.—Okotoks Re- view.

Of Interest to Fanners PROTECTIVE FEEDS FOR FALL PIGS

The cereal grains are too low in e.ssential vitam- ins, proteins, and mineral matter to constitute the while of the winter ration for fall pigs. Pigs fed such rations will become unthrifty and they will eventually show signs of rickets. The cheapest and one of the best supplemental protective feeds is ground alfalfa hay or alfalfa meal. Even giving the pigs free access to alfalfa hay in a suitable feed- ing rack will go far in preventing trouble from the feeding of cereal grains. The hay . supplies pro- teins of good quality, the essential vitamins, and some mineral matter. At least 10 lbs. of hay or meal should be consumed with 90 lbs. of grain. Skimmilk supplies the best of protein and some min- eral matter, particularly .calcium. Tankage sup- plies a very good quality of proteins as also some mineral matter.

GUARD AGAINST PNEUMONIA

During the early winter pigs are sometimes hou.sed under conditions that favor losses from pneir monia. Sleeping in .straw piles on cold nights there is a tendency for pigs to pile up by w-hich means some of them become too warm. ' On being exposed to the cold wind of the early morning such pigs are subjected to an idea colndition for contracting pneumonia. Furthermore, the irritation caused from particles of dust given off in straw piles and inhaled by tRe pigs is a ontributing cause of this disease.

Pigs .should be housed in cold weather under conditions that will keep them warm without pil ing up too'much and where the ventilation is ade- quate to maintain a reasonably even temperature.

GREEN FEED FOR HENS

Have you ever noticed how eager chickens are for green grass early in spring and how they eat their way out into the oat seeding if it happen to join the chicken yard? You have noticed also that production jumps up as soon as the hens strike the fresh, green, succulent grass. This indicates to us that fresh green grass is an excellent stimulating feed and also that hens do not get enough of the qualities it supplies during the winter months.

Supplying green feed during the winter months is a problem not every one has solved successfully. Some get good results from mangels or rutabaga's, others from cabbage, while others feed sprouted oats. The green colored leaves of alfalfa hay and red clover come as near supplying the qualities of fresh green grass as any feed we know of. Gather up these leaves from the barn floor for the .hens. 0

CONSERVING NITRATES WITH SWEET CLOVER

The rapidly increasing use of sweet clover as a green manure testifies to its high value for this purpose. How to secure the greatest value when the crop is used in this manner has not been given quite as full attention as itdeserves. The Illiois Agricultural Experiment Station has investigated this subject somewhat and reports, in Bulletin 285, its conclusions as to how to handle sweet clover to secure the greatest accumulation and conservation of nitrates in the soil.

It found that nitrification of both fall and spring-plowed sweet clover proceeded rapidly and to such an extent on one field as to furnish nitrate in excess .of the requirements of a large corn crop. The spring plowing results in a better physical con- dition of the soil than fall plowing, and less labor was required in preparing the land for the crop. More active organic matter was plowed under on the spring -plowed land, and this is one of the most important considerations, especially in the initial use of sweet clovf.r. Fall plowing of sweet clover is frequently desirable, but until more information is available as to methods for thoroughly killing the crop, spring plowing should be the general prac- tice.

Comparing early and late dates for spring plow- ing in preparation for corn, it was found that early plowing gave high nitrate at an earlier date .than later plowing. At both the Hartsburg and the Toledo fields all dates of plowing permitted a ra- pid nitrification and an accumulation of nitrate sufficient to meet the needs of much larger crops than were produced.

The date of plowing sweet clover in the spring should be decided according to the urgency of the need of the soil for active organic matter, since the rapidly with which sweet clover decomposes after spring plowing insures prompt nitrification. Light, sandy, and open-textured soils, and those deficient in organic matter should have the sweet clover plowed as late as consistent with good soil prepara- tion for the corn crop. Heavy soils, such as clays, loams, and in general those that have grown one or more crops of sweet clover, are not likely to be materially affected for corn production by the date of plowing the sweet clover.

Summer-plowed green sweet clover nitrifies' rapidly and large amounts of nitrate accumulate, as' indicated by tbe results reported from the study at| Bloomington. Large losses of nitrogen result if no| protective crop is seeded. Oats and rye proved effi- cient in converting much nitrate into organic ni- trogen. The oats were more valuable in reducing losses than the rye, owing to their greater fall growth, and to the fact that they were incorporated into the soil i na dry condition rather than green.

From the standpoint of nitrate production, this manner of, handling sweet clover, whereby it is al- lowed to grow through the second season, is of no particular advantage except in special cases, be- cause when plowed down in the spring as a green manure it furnished sufficient soil enrichment with out sacrificing a year to the growing of this crop

Under certain conditions nitrate appear to' con- centrate in the .surface soil by rising from lower layers. That such a rise occurs is indicated by the observation that, with the moisture content of the surface soil remaining below the point for permit- ting nitrification, the nitrate content actually in- creased. . .

WiSMA-.0—— In not a few cases, Qver 100 pounds of nitrate

nitrogen were found in the surface soil, even in the presence of a 50- to 65-bushel corn crop at its peri- od of heavy nitrate absorption. Such amounts of nitrate nitrogen should be converted by crops, or by bacteria, to some fixed form, in order that they may be conserved for use by succeeding crops. Un- der farm conditions, weeds in the corn, volunteer grains, and any crop growth on the land in late sum mer and fall, serve to convert much nitrate. If a legume is used for this purpose rather than a non legume, the nitrogen so saved is more rapidly and completely nitrified the following year.

Studies made on thirteen Illinois experiment fields during a season of unusually heavy rainfall demonstrated the effectiveness of sweet clover in conserving soil nitrogen. Less nitrate was lost on sweet clover plots than on corresponding manure plots or on check plots. These results were ob- tained where sweet clover is grown as a green man- ure in a four-year rotation.—Hoard’s Dairyman.

VARIABLE HAY VALUES

During the past few years the Forage Crop Division of the Dominion Experimental Farm has investigated quite extensively some of the causes of the variation in the dry matter of forage crops While practically all types o,f forage plants were investigated the present remarks will refer large- ly to those used for hay purposes.

The prospective purchaser of a ton of red clover or alfalfa hay cannot be induced very readily to buy an equal amount of pure grass hay. He knows that the clover hay is supposed to possess more of the high priced protein that ho is anxious to feed. Fewer people seem to be aware of the fact that there may be more variation in the protein content of either red clover or alfalfa hay, cured in different ways, than usually exists between clover hay and timothy hay.

The investigations of the forage plant indicate that the weather conditions at harvesting time and the method of curing the crop have a very decided influence on the vadue of the resulting hay. This is paticularly so in the case of the clover hays. With these latter it is .seldom that at least ten per cent of the leaf growth is not lost. Handling when the leaves are brittle may result in the loss of as much as .sixty per cent of the leafgrowth. Unfavourable weather at harvest time not only adds to the leaf loss but also results in the loss of valuable plant food constituents by leaching. In addition to the loss of leaf .and through leaching it has been found that the more rapidly hay is cured the more of the valuable food constituents will it contain. 'This ap pears to be consistently true with all types of forage plants.

In purchasing hay of all kinds it would appear to be the policy of wisdom to make sure that the majority of the leaves remain ,and that the condi- tions under which it was cured were as favourable as possible as indicated by a bright, green colour. —G. P. McROSTIE, Dominion -Agrostologist.

GIVE COWS PLENTY OF WATER

Average milk is a little better than 87 per cent water. Some of this water comes from feed, quite a little of it if silage or roots are fed. The remain- der of it must come from the containers of drink- ing water.

The quantity of water a given cow needs dé- pends on her size, production, the temperature of the atmo.sphere, and character of feed. The quantity of water she will actu- ally drink depends somewhat on the con- venience with which it is offered, and on the quali- ty of the water offered, particularly with respect to temperature. A cow can’t make milk out of a cold northwest wind and ice water.

Installing individual water cups in barns has frequently .proven that cows were not getting all the water they needed. In view of the fact that such a large proportion of milk is water and that that this comstituent costs so little, it would seem an economic crime to give cows less water than they need.

ASK BEEF GRADING BE STANDARDIZED

Specific recommendations for standardization of beef grading in Canada, were submitted on Sat- urday tb Hon. W. R. Motherwell Minister of Agri- culture, by the Joint Beef Grading Committee of the Dominion, which has been working on a draft of proposed regulations for some time.

In the recommendations, it was suggested that for the present at least grading should be done by packing plant inspectors. Establishment of two principal grades, “Choice” and “Good” is urged. This proposal further sugge.sts that carcasses be marked b.v a distinctive color strip, indicating the grade. All cuts of meat not marked would be re- gai-ded as “ungraded”. It was emphasized that es- tablished brands on which packing firms had ex- pended considerate capital, should not be disturbed.

Following a conference with members of the joint committee, the Minister asked that, final con- sideration of the matter be deferred pending the return of Dr. J. H. Grisdale, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, who is at present in England.

Is this true of your town?

Just as there are farmers ■who make very good money by intensively cultivating a few acres, so there are mer- chants in small towns who do a surprisingly large busi- ness.

Of course, they too cultivate their territory intensively. They don’t wait for their customers to come to them —they go to their customers with frequent offers of what they know will tempt them. And they seem to sell every- body.

So regularly do they keep in touch with their customers that their offers of merchan- dise are eagerly awaited, and are read as if they were news —which they are.

These merchants use Long Distance frequently, to order goods for prompt shipment or to fill in sizes—and they find it good business to call important customers by Long Distance to advise them of opportunities.

Of Interest to Women SCIENCE BACKS ANOTHER HUNCH

Scientists are constantly proving that there are good reasons back of most of our customs and “hunches.” We have had a “hunch” for a long time that eggs vrere good for what sometimes ails us and now the folks who study health and how it depends on the foods we eat are supporting us in our liberal use of eggs.

For years we have been eating them because they were plentiful and we knew they were “nour- ishing.” But it seems that each ye_ar_ health folks^ are encouraging our use of eggs by finding some new thing that they do for us. They now have many reasons for eating eggs in addition to those of the housewife who uses them for flavor, for bind- ing, and for making cakes and puddings light.

In the first place, these scientists say that eggs, especially the yolks, help prevent anemia. This is the disease that makes people pale and listless and occurs when there is not enough iron and some other substances in the food that helps make good red blood. If it is allowed to continue, anemia often becomes very dangerous.

Even babies who are kept on a straight milk diet too long may become anemic because milk does not seem to contain enough of these necessary sub- stances. -To prevent this, Dr. Dorothy Reed Men- denhall, child health specialist at the University of Wisconsin, recommends adding a little raw yolk to one feeding each day after the child is two months old unless we find he cannot digest it. Of course, the amount to begin with is very small and is gra- dually increased as the child grows older. This egg, along with the .iuices of green vegetables and purees made from them, will usually carry the child through without danger of anemia. And we all know how important it is that grown-ups be careful to include plenty of these foods and that they may also add liver to protect themselve against anemia.

The vitamins they contain is the next reason health folks list for using eggs. Dr. P. Mabel Nel- son, of the Iowa State College, ranks eggs as one of our best sources of vitamins. They contain four, “A” “B,” “D,” and “E”, and she empha- sizes the fact that the yolk is e.specially rich in “A” and'“D.”

Vitamin A. we remember, is the vitamin that helps to make children grow and to prevent colds and other infections in folks of all ages. Everyone who has children has heard of vitamin D, for it is the one that helps {frevent one of the most com- mon diseases of childhood, rickets. Most of us know this disease because it causes bowed legs, but it also causes other symptoms that are not so well known such as general poor health, prominent fore- heads, restlessness at night, constipation, and night sweats. Along with vitamin D, of course, our child- ren must have plenty of sunshine and foods like milk, cheese, and vegetables which contain large amounts of the necessary bonediuilding minerals.

The last two ‘scientific” reasons for including eggs, that eggs are good muscle builders and ener gy givers, are not quite as important in the eyes of the specialists as the others, for vitamins and iron are harder to get into the diet than miiscle building and energy producing foods. Bht they agree that we also need to take these two'into consideration, because eggs supply everything we need for making muscle and the fat in thém is one of the most easily digested forms that we can find.

It is true that we cannot live on eggs alone, in spite of all they give us. They are too concentrated a food, and we need plenty of vegetables and fruits to go with them. But since they are so generous in .supplying many of our body’s needs, we can use them often.

Every family has its favorite egg recipes, but bacon and egg sand\^iches are still a prime favor- ite with many folks for Sunday night supper or for the unexpected guest who drops in after the family has “licked the platter clean.”

Here is how one family prefers to make them. They .are so easy that everyone makes his own boys as well as girls.) For two sand- wiches, they put 2 slices of bacon that has been cut into pieces one^fourth inch wide into a frying pan and fry until the bacon is cooked. In the mean- time, an egg is beaten with a little salt and a table- spoon of milk. When the bacon is cooked, the egg is poured over it and scrambled until the egg is set. This filling is then spread between slices of either bread or toast. When tomatoes are in season, a slice of tomato is a welcome variation.

Eggs can often help us use leftovers. We all know how hard it is to get rid of a few sardines, a little ham, chicken, or veal and even five or six small sausages, but they may be made into a sup- per main dish by combining them with hard cook- ed eggs.

Allow enough eggs to serve the family (pro- bably one or one and a half for each person will be enough.) Drop into a pan of boiling water and put in a warm place where the water will stay hot but will not boil. The eggs will be hard in about forty minutes. Then pour cold water over them, peel, and cut them in half lengthwise ■ and remove the yolk. Mash the yolks with a fork and add the sardines with salt and pepper. Refill the halves and put into a thin, cream sauce to heat. ^ Serve on but- tered toast. Minced ham and other meats will also “go a long way” when they are served like sar- dines.

Eggnog is often a welcome change for a child’s lunch or supper, and many grown-ups like them, too. One popular way of making them is to beat the white separately. The yolk is folded into the white and enough milk is poured in to fill a glass. A little nutmeg or vanilla is used for flavor. This method of mixing seems to cut the raw egg flavor and chililren especially like the foamy mixture.

Custards, angel and sponge cakes, and whips are all popular and fairly common for dessert. Here is a date torte that is more unusual and often helps decide the “company” dessert question. It is very rich and so this recipe will serve twelve generously

Beat the whites of 6 eggs until stiff, fold in the beaten yolks, and then 2 cups of sugar slowly. Add 2 teaspoons baking powder, 4 tablespoons cracker crumbs, and a pinch of salt. Chop % pound wal-

nuts and V2 box dates until fine and fold into the egg mixture. Bake an hour in a slow oven. After it is cool, crumble and serve in sherbet glasses with whipped cream.—Agatha Raisbeek. o

FOOD SPOILAGE

Every once in a while the lettuce wilts, or the bread grows moldy ,or the apples become spongy, and we hurriedly consign the ruin to the garbage pail where it cannot remind us of the waste. We hate waste. We would never indulge in it wil- fully. Yet there are none of us who have not been annoyed many times by this waste which is caused by .spoilage.

Chiefljq the storage of the food is to blame for spoilage. Each kind of food demands its own par- ticular care to prevent waste. Proper tempera- ture, light conditions, and degree of moisture must be provided, not only to prevent the formation of the bacteria and molds which cause most of the trouble, but also to keep foods in prime condition as long as possible.

Heat, and to some extent cold checks the growth of harmful bacteria. Drying prevents their growth, sometimes for months, but as soon as wa- ter is added to dried foods they will spoil as quick- ly as fresh foods. Direct sunlight destroys some micro-organisms, such as molds, which are so act- ive in warm, damp wreath er;

Temperature, light, and moisture affect foods in other ways than by action on bacteria. Heat and light ripen fresh fruits so rapid- ly that fruits kept in a heated ' and sunlit place quickly pass their prime. Cheese, nuts, lard, and other food fats become rancid far more quickly in warm temperature than in cool. Freezing ,on the other hand, must be avoided, as it spoils the flavor of most foods.

In the ease of foods which should .be either de- cidedly moist or decidedly dry, the circulation of air is an important factor. Moist foods tend to lose their moisture, while dry foods tend to absorb moisture when exposed to the air. To keep lettuce, celery, and other succulent vegetables from wilt- ing, it is necessary to prevent the absorption of their moisture. Wrapping in a cold, wet cloth and placing near the ice will keep these greens fresh for ' the maximum length of time. Dry foods, like crackers, cookies, and breakfast food, must be pro- tected from the air by waxed paper or other air- tight covering to retain their crispness. Dry cer- eal meals are kept best in glass, earthenware, or metal containers. Worms or weevils which some- times develop in these foods are usually the result of insect eggs deposited in the food. There is no remedy for them. When they are discovered, the food should be destroyed immediately and the con-, tainer thoroughly scalded before being used again. Proper location and care of storing places and con- tainers for the food are half the battle in preventing food spoilage.

Most important is the inimediate destruction of spoiled foods ,the thorough scalding of contain- ers, and the free use of disinfectants. It takes something stronger than soap and water to kill bacteria. A five per cent, solution of carbolic acid (which should be carefully labeled and kept beyond the reach of children) is an excellent disinfectant. Dry chloride of lime absorbs disagreeable odors and is an effective disinfectant for moist material. o-

A CHILDREN’S PARTY

Entertaining for children, especially for quite ÿoung ones is apt to be a terrific trial, but a party is-such an event for them that it cannot possibly be ignored. And, there is compensation for the mo- ther of the .small host in the excited delight of the youn.sters. The hard part about it is that there will never be— white children are normal—a formula for Quiet, peaceful parties.

There are, however, a fqw expedients to be employed in the giving of children^parties that re- duce the childish abandon to a bearable minimum. By providing them with diversions that more or less limit their energies without destroying their plea- sure instead of allowing them to entertain them- selves according to their apparently inspired de- vices, is a help. One hostess obviated the nuisance of gettiner her young guests interested in games by providing a movie of Felix the Cat for their entertainment.

The refreshments which constitute a large part of the thrill of the party should be planned care- fully and the table from which they are served should have a great deal of attention. Any ef fort expended to please children is never wasted for they are mo.st appreciative of color and effect although they cannot, of course, be expected to ex- patiate on the artistry of the arrangements.

There are literally thousands of ways to dress a children’s party table with crepe paper. Suit the decorations to the season, the holiday or the inclination of the child for whom the party is to be given. Favors that are always good are snappers containini? toys, elaborate paper caps and great, gaudy balloons. A Jack Horner pie or Jackin-tbe- box arrangement will provide a certerpieee that will fascinate the little folks.

A kindergarten table is, of course, the best thing to use for serving the refreshments, but a low table can be made by placing dining table leaves on boxes. Or if a large extra table top which is used to enlarge the regular table top is available it can be supported on low stools and will be found to serve, the purpose admirably. o

DO YOU KNOW THAT;

1. Carrot leaves are as savory as parsley come with the carrots, hence cost nothing, and are decorative and dainty?

2. If when currant jelly will not jell, you will put the glasses of jelly o na cookie sheet and set them in a hot oven after the heat has been turned off and let them remain until the oven is cool the result will be perfect?

3. If you sprinkle flour into the fat for fry- ing eggs it will stop the popping which often causes painful burns as well as spots on the clothes?

Mediaeval Mystery Play Revived f

Usually the line is down because there Has been a storm. It isn’t much fun to cling to the top of a pole with a zero gale taking your breath away.

FINDING THE BREAK in the line is not as bad as it used to be. It used to mean that

men had to trudge along through the storm, perhaps for miles, until the bad spot was found. Today there are delicate instruments which can locate the spot -within a few rods from an office many miles away.

They are so accurate that if there is a break in the 180 miles of line between Toronto and Sarnia, a man can sit in a building in Toronto and locate the spot -within a pole’s length or so. Or a man can sit in a building in Montreal and find a break anywhere between there and Quebec.

He can tell the trouble-shooter almost the very pole to go to because every pole now is num- bered.

Imagine Chrietmas in England in 1328, 600 years ago. The dawn of the Reformation was all but breaking, but the Church still held place

of power in state as in religion, and had been for centuries the fount of all learning. A primitive age—rough and relentless, and its people were primitive to a degree hardly conceivable in this age. Rough, hard living was lightened by rough hard play and such church festivals as Christinas were celebrated in carousing and high revels by those as could co.nmand the means for such employment. Religious i teaching came to tho mass of the people only by word of mouth, and as a means of making the New Testament stories living and understandable, in- cidents of the Bible story were presented in simple plays as primitive as the understandings of their audiences. They were called Mystery Plays and one of the first of them, and, therefore, perhaps, the first of all plays to be performed in England was the story of the adoration of the shepherds and the Magi, written by Randall Higden, a monk of Chester Abbey and first performed at Christmas in the year 1328, just six hundred years ago.

From that day to this is a long time, but there has been a revival of interest in the beautiful things of mediaeval days, and a few years ago the Chester Mysteries were brought to Canada and presented for the first time in America at Hart House Theatre, Toronto University. There they met with instantaneous success, and for several Christmases were a feature of Toronto’s holiday celebration. Later they were pre- sented as part of a Christmas service in- the chancel of the church of St. Mary Magdalene, Toronto. It will next be seen at Victoria, B.C., as part of the old English Christmas celebration that is being arranged to take place at the Empress Hotel there this year.

It will be the central featuie of a notable revival of the Christmas customs of England dating, from the middle ages down to the time of Dickens and Mr. Pickwick. In the costumes of that .periods, singers, actors and musicians will, between Christmas and Twelfth Night lead the revels and the entire celebration will wind up with a costiime ball, Victoria is already famous as a winter resort. Its mild, pleasant weather permitting golf and motoring practically every day and its wonderful salt-water swimming baths have made the most English city in North America an ideal place in which to spend the winter, and with the pro- gramme of Christmas revels it is likely that the number of visitors to that city from the prairies and from some of the western state.s will be unusually large.

SOME OTHER PEOPLE a .

'T'he turn of the Chinese policeman’s Up seems to indicate that he -*- could snarl out a very nasty “Where’d you think you’re going?” if

he thought you would understand him, but passengers on the Canadian Pacific World Cruise last year found him very courteous.

Some time before the globe-trotteilB met the man with the pudding- basin head-gear they were greeted at the entrance of the famous Stadium at Athens by the fiery-mustachiv’d guard who looks like Harry Lauder in a combination of the worst features of the Highland, the Dutch and the hosiery advertisement national costumes.

But the Japanese practising on the saxophone’s ancestor takes the cake when it comes to strange head-gear. A pun could be made here about “wicker” and “wicked-looking,” but let that pass. The dark representative of the fair sex evidently believes in simplicity of cos- tume—and economy! She has made her “robe de style” serve for her young son, too, and her head drees! Permanent waves have probably been amongst the old family secrete handed down from mother to daughter for centuries in her country.

Taking them altogether they are a fair sample of strange sights to be viewed on a trip round the world.

The Canadian Pacific has organized six winter cruises this year. Round the World by the “Empress of Australia”, South America-Africa by the new 20,000 ton “Duchess of Atholl”, Mediterranean by the “Em- press of Scotland” and thrée cruises to the once happy bunting grounds of the buccaneer—the S(est Indies,

Each of these hundreds of fine wires has to be connected again to its mate in the other half of the cable. If you can imagine youself finger- ing those wires at two o’clock of a stormy wintry morning you will realize how good the trouble-shooter has to be at his job.

FORMS COST MONEY as well as dis- comfort. The telephone system has over

675,000 miles of wire strung on poles stretch- ing across 23,000 miles of country and every storm hits some part of the system. A big storm can do\ a great deal of damage.

Sleet has cost the telephone company as much as a million dollars in one year. Sometimes one storm means spending more than $100,000 without delay.

There is no time to call the directors together. The job has to be done and the money must be spent.

The money is ready because the telephone company has followed a policy of making definite provision for such emergencies.

And the job is done because the telephone business has men and women, like the trouble- shooter, alive to the meaning of service and eager to keep the telephone in the front rank of Canadian progress.

Hound fable Conterence For Bringing logelber

Business and ledosiry Some forty delegatee from all the

Provinces of Canada, including lepre sentative leaders of agriculture and members of the National Executive of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce from Central Eastern and Western Canada, met in a round-table eonfer- ence in the Toronto Board of Trade council room during the afternoon of Nov. 27th. Several questions of na- tional import affecting the better re- lations of agriculture and, the other economic interests of Canada were discussed, more particularly how local Boards of Trade and Chambers of Com- merce can assist in the developing and the co-ordinating of rural with urban interests.

Among concrete suggestions made in this latter connection were the propos- ed organization of seed-growing com- petitions and sheep and calf raising contests -through boys and girls’ clubs and the adopting of every method of practical co-operation between munici- pal an-d country life.

It was pointed out during the course of the conference how very valuable was the work being carried on by agricultural district representatives ap- pointed by the Provincial Govern- ments, and it was thought that the ex- tension of these activities could be wisely made in the interest of agri culture.

It was further indicated that one of the fundamental problems of agricul- ture today in Canada is the cost of distTibution and the lowering of the cost of production. Any survey which would be of a practical nature of agri-

cultural functioning in Canada should, it was thought, include a detailed ana- lysis as to the spread between the money received by the farmer for his product and the cost of the same pro- duct -to the consumer.

With regard to a greater entente of agriculture and the other economic in- terests of Canada ,there was pointed out the very great desirability of the business man taking a sympathetic view of, and getting an intimate un- derstanding of, the agriculturist’s out- look.

The need of greater support to the agricultural colleges in Canada on the part of the business men and the pro- viding of scholarships for students tak- ing up agriculture as a life’s occupa- tion, were urged by several of -the par- ticipants.

The part which modern conveniences and comforts play in the contentment of farm life were reviewed by the dele- gates. Whatever can be done to help the agriculturist in making his farm free of debt and aiding him in putting away a certain amount of money for the educating and the “sttarting well in life ” of his family, was extremely worth while, it was emphasized. At- tention to agricultural education was particuarly stressed.

It was further pointed out how much more the processing of agricultural products could be carried on in the Do- minion and two specific lines of manu- facture were referred to, in particular^ viz., production of potato starch and evaporated fruits and vegetables.

In discussing the question of elimina- tion of economic waste in agriculture,, the desirability of offsetting over pro- duction by the marketing of products of high standard and thorough inspec- tio-ns was pointed out.

The question of practical co-opera- tion between agriculture and the other economic interests of Canada will be, as a result of -this preliminary confer- ence, gone into with the agricultural organizations, and associations and the commercial organizations of the Dorn- ini^on in a larger conference. It is planned that this gathering will be called ‘t-ogether under the auspices of Canadian Chamber of Commerce pro- bably in the spring of next year.

The following resolution, moved by Hon. George Hoadley, Minister of Agri- culture in Alberta, and seconded by B Warnock, Deputy Minister of Agricul- ture in British Columbia, was unani- mously adopted at the conclusion of the conference:

“This jnfiormal conference, repre- senting agricultural leade|rs in each of the Provinces^ and the National Executive o£ the Canadian Chamber of Commerce from Western. Central and Eastern Canada, desire to place itself on record as endorsing the action of the Dofninion Government in creating a National Research Council (with Dr. Tory as President)-for the purpose of directing and controlling th-e use of pub- lic moneys in connection with indus- trial and research agricultural work.”

Alexandra School of Music I bog to announce that I will open

up two group classes of music, as soon as possible, one elals for girls and one for boys—under the guidance of the Royal Academy of London, England, which will furnish the well regulated and progressive course of twenty hour lessons—to be taken on Saturdays from 1.30 to 2.30 for the girls and 3 to^ 4 for boys. I will have a suitable large ^ room with chairs and blackboard which the children will be expected to use and, which I can use myself to give class ideas where all can see the board.

« No piano is needed—and every child must first learn the foundation princi- ples before they begin lessons, which may be taken at any time afterwards and from any teacher they choose. No piano is needed in this class neither is one required at home, as the modern way now to begin music is by the me- thod which I will employ. This Class idea is practically a modern and improved method, used all ov^r the British Empire—before they attempt to take lessons on the piano.

The atiquated method to-day is a thing of the past; and since I am in the teaching profession I hope to be progressive enough to keep up to the times. I shall also start a Choral So- ciety in the near future—where adults may learn to sing by note, and classifying the voices, and giv- ing the class soma of the foundation requirements on breathing, phrasing, time and reading by note, using ‘he Tonic Col fa notation—We could, event- ually, get up some easy part singing and practise a Cantata; Gregorian Chant and Sacred Music can be taken up in this School, also History of Mu- sic.

Later on, I may add a jihoroughly competent violin teacher to assist me— I would consider a teacher who teaches violin only, not some person who teaches all instruments^ a thorough and experienced teacher.

I hope all progressive Glengarrians will wake up and help the futuTe gen- eration to spend their time profitably— To-day music is a necessity—^Music is a language—It is thoughts interpreted into souTids.

BAINSVILLE

Proposal to Hold Over lividend Defeated

Toronto, December 4.—A motion to withhold the dividend which the dir- ectors «f the United Farmers’ Co-op- erative recommended should be paid was overwhelmingly defeated by share- holders at their meeting here this af- ternoon. The resolution was nroved by J. G, Whitmore and declared that the dividend had not been earned. The amount involved was $70,000. :

The fees phid to directors, the losses incurred by the seed committee, and the practical value accruing from the trip to Europe of Director G. A. Both- well were the issues which raised dis- cusion today at the annual meeting of th-e United Farmers’ Co-Operative Com- pany.

The meeting has some 200 sharehold- ers in attendance. It is the first phase of the annual U.F.O. convention. J. G. Whitmore asked why monthly directors ’ meetings should be neces- sary when the company bad a highly paid general manager and highly paid' departmental head to manage its affairs. The fees to directors, he pointed out, had totalled $10,000 dur- ing the past year. This amount, he be- lieved, could have been saved.

Mr. Whitmore blamed the directors for' the creation of the seed committee which had incurred lossVTs of $86,000 in the last two years. He was particul- arly critical of last year’s report, which had inventoried sweet clover seed at 10 cents per pound, when it was he alleged, worth only three cents.

“It is easy to figure a profit that way,” he declared, adding that the loss on the seed item last year should have absorbed the whole of the com- pany’s net profit. “I do not believe that we have even a profit this year if the figures were properly shown,” he added.

H. A. Gilroy for the directors point- ed out that the affairs of the company had progressed steadily since the dir- ectors had adopted their policy of re- gular meej;ings.

G. A. Bothwellj recently chairman of the seed committee, added that the committee had not purchased the seed upon which the loss had been sustain- ed, but had been formed in order to deal with the situation and minimize the loss in -so far as was possible. '

C. J. Macdonald, Stormont, attacked the trip which Mr. Bothwell had been given -to Europe a year ago.

Mr. Bothwell replied that the trip had been undertaken in the idea that the U.F.O. was a “baby” amongst co-operatives, and that it could profit from British and Danish experience.

Mr. Macdonald averred that this was no answer. “If there are trips to Eu- rope to be had, I think that they should go to some of our farmers who have had poor crops, and not to the directors,” he said. ^

T^e meeting received the reports of President J. C. Ross and General Mana- ger H. B. Clemes.

Introduction of Sports and' Qaxrwfl Help to Make People So—Life’»

Best Woi’k After Middle Ago.

Most people of the present gener- ation who have reached middle life, ds they think back on tl.eir early years and remember the several states of mind in which they con- sidered their parents, thoir parents’ conduct, wisdom, mannerisms, etc., v/ill recall that parentage at that time was very much more awesom® than it is in these days, writes Dr. Cassus H. Watson In the Blue Bell. Parents had considerable more dig- lity. Austerity was the rule ratheb han familiarity. Their intercourse

one with another and with their chil- dren was dignified to a degree. They were accustomed to being looked up to by their children. They had a well-marked sense of their own Im- portance. They took themselves very seriously. They created an artiftcial limit to their own field of accom- plishment beyond 'which, in a way, it was not considered good form to go.

We of this generation in the smug- ness of our middle age like to feci that we have not grown old, but can still reach back and do many of the things of the day of youth. And I think we can. I think people at mid- dle age are now much younger than they were a generation ago. The introduction of sports and games, the character of recreation and the op- portunities to do things that are young and the encouragement offered to undertake ventures of activity la recreation help to make them so. Both men and 'women are now tr^iiug to appear young. The smooth face has been accepted as has been the bobbed hair. The youthful character of clothing makes for activities which our forbears would have thought un- dignified and improper.

People want to appear young and they want to be thought young, and in the background of their thought» they want to feel that Inentally they have remained young. Still„ we see some people who think themselves old who glory In their age for certain purposes. They are overcome with a sense of Inferiority at the attitude of youth even though they may fully comprehend the superficial nature of the activity of the youth about them.

As a matter of fact, when we think of real accomplishment in the world, it has not all been confined to young- er years. Those things which have been produced that are most lasting can only be produced after age and experience have had their opportun- ities to weld together and mould the results of experience in proper form. It is true that discoveries and inven- tions and many of the things that are new are the productions o'l the early years. But, if you stop to think^f the great literary and artistic accom- plishments, most of the best things have been done at or some time after middle life. The great philosophies could never have been formulated by the young mind. Mature judgment, which only follows after experience and contact with the things of the world, is a production of years.

Old-Age Pension for Russia. Old age pensions for peasants are a

possibility. Ever anxious to keep fav- or with the land, the council of peo- ple’s commissars has recommended to the central executive committee a de- cree by the provisions of which, if it is approved, every peasant over 65 years of age will receive a pension from the State amounting to 60 ru- bles (|25) per year. This Is approx- imately the average annual wage re- ceived by a rural workman. It Is hoped to iKit the proposal Into effect by 1929-30, when, it is estimated, 267,000 peasants in Great Russia alone will receive the pension.

Secured It Prom Adversary. Two Spaniards quarrelled and de-

cided to fight a duel. In order to do this without at-

tracting too much attention, they took a train into the country.

The first Spaniard booked a re- turn ticket, but his opponent took only a single.

“Caramba!” exclaimed the flr.st, “You expect not to comq. back—eh, my friend? I always get a return.”

‘T never do,” answered ‘the other quite calmly. “I always take the re- turn half from my adversary..”

Unusual Elections. Twice in the history of the United

States a Presidential candidate has received a majority of the popular vote and been defeated by the elec- toral vote. The most famous was the disputed election of 1876, when Sam- uel J. Tilden received 4,284,885 votes and Hayes 4,033,950, but Hayes was declared elected. In 1888, Cleveland had 6,540,329 popular votes and Harrison 5,439,853, but Harrison was elected by 233 electoral votes to 163.

German Shipbuilding Active. Statistics for the second quarter of

1928 show that Germany is keeping her place as the socond greatest ship- building nation, with a gross tonnage Increase of 407,534. against over 1,000,000 for Great Britain. Holland comes third with 173,190 tons. Dur- ing these three months, 57 per cent, of all tonnage built in the world was motor driven.

How Motley Makes Money. New York’s oldest savings account

was opened with ten dollars in 1819; five dollars were auded the fol- lowing year, and no furfcer deposit has ever been made.

The original bank book, held by the descendant of the depositor, recently showed approximately $2,500 in ac- cumulated interest.

Loud-Speakers for Telephones. A portable ampfifyiig unit makes

It possible to have a loud-speaker'for A Telephone. It can easily be attach- eo to any instrument and, although ori=i.tnaîly fntended to make telephone coi.‘•ersatlons easier for deaf people, '•t IS also useful in a noisy office where bearing Is difficult.

Free State’s Electricity Scheme Will Transform Emerald Isle Into a

Great Industrial Nation.

“Quid Ireland” is now due to get a fimt instalment of the good things promised as a result of the Fr*e State’s ambitious large-scale electric- ity scheme.

In a few years’ time, if all goes according to plan, the Emerald Isle will have been transformed and Ire- land will be well on the 'way to be- coming a great industrial nation, says an article in Answers.

For some time wdrk has been pro- ceeding on the Shannon power scheme, under which Ireland’s most famous river is being harnessed to supply hydro-electric power to the whole country. In connection with this, Ireland is being covered by a network of overhead cables, while transforming stations, rather like chapels In appearance, are being built to connect with local distribution systems.

Almost immediately the new cables now crossing Leinster, the province which includes Dublin and Water- ford, are to be used for distributing electricity. For a year the current ■will be supplied from the old power- house in Dublin, but after that it will come from the great new hydro-elec- tric station at Ardnacrusha, on the Shannon. The use of the new cables meantime is in the nature of an ex- periment, from which the Free State authorities hope to gain valuable lessons.

During the experimental period charges may be greater than when the main scheme comes into force. It is intended that the cost of light- ing a five-roomed house all through the year will be two shillings to half- a-crown a week, including current for a|i electric iron or vacuum cleaner and payment on the instalment sys- tem for wiring.

But the major aspect of the scheme Is Industrial. It is hoped that the electrifying of the Irish countryside will encourage the setting up of new Industries and that farmers will use power for agriculture.

“The Shannon scheme gives our engineers their first chance,” said the Free State Minister for Industry and Commerce the other day. “If it stops merely at the Shannon scheme, we shall not have gone very (ar. What we want, and what we hope to get, is the big Industrial development that will follow.”

A sum of £5,000,000 has already been spent on the scheme, and 5,000 men are being employed on It .at present. The work is done in shifts, and goes on ceaselessly throughout the twenty-four hours.

Lough Derg is being used as a re- servoir, being kept at high level by a weir and banks’ built on both sides of the Shannon. Lower down the river, where it makes a crescent bend, the water is to be diverted into an eight- miles canal and led to Ardnacrusha, where it will feed fhe great dynamos and then rejoin the natural course of the Shannon just above Limerick.

So far, the canal is only a great dry trench, where scooping machines tl^t take a ton of earth at a “mouth- ful” are still at work. At the same time, a 250-ton embanking machine, the only one of its kind in the world, is building up the banks.

At Ardnacrusha you can all*eady see great walls, like those of a giant's castle, pierced by the apertures that are to serve the dynamos. Three new bridges, one already in use for Uai- fic, span the canal. The ferro-con- crete building which is to divert the water of the Shannon into the canal is nearing completion. A feature here is a “fish ladder,” which. It is hoped, will enable the salmon to pro- ceed to the higher reaches of the river and the loughs.

What will be the result of all these ambitious projects, of which the Shannon scheme Is the beginning? Only a very brave prophet would risk an answer at this stage, says this writer. At present the population of the Irish Free State is only just over 3,000,000, and uuless the use of elec- tricity for domestic purposes can be very greatly extended, and there is a great expansion of industry, it is dif- ficult to see how this large-scale elec- trification scheme is going to pay. But this much is certain—if it does pay, Ireland is going to be a very dif- ferent place from what It is to-day.

A CANADIAN BUNGALO E. A. BUTTLBR, Arehitei^t

IF you are seeking a good bungalow design this one contains every desir- able feature that modern planning has associated with' this type of house, or perhaps, like many others, you are still tottering on the brink of indeci- sion—have not yet decided whether the new home is to be of one or two storeys. This of course is a matter which refits strictly with you. It does not make a particle of difference to anyone but yourself whether you build a one or two storey house—but in fair-

ience and may be omitted. For approximately $5,500 this home

may be built of frame and brick veneer construction with concrete block cellar and asphalt slate shingle roofing.

Readers desiring further informa- tion regarding a house of thio design should communicate with Home Build- ers’ Information Service, 345 Adelaide St. West, Toronto, Ontario, who will see that it is supplied. When writing please mention design number 143. Copyright, 1928.

thus saved there will be many dollars spent in the future on repairs.

In short, it costs less to pain than not to paint. The old Dutch proverb that ^^Good paipt costs nothing” is indeed true.—Copyright 1927. The Architects ’ Small House Service Bur- eau.

Here and There

ness to our Canadian architects it mus^ be admitted the bungalow idea in Can- ada is at a decidedly undeserved disad- vantage. And why? Canada is inun- dated yearly with plan books which emanate unfortunately from almost all parts of the world, except Canada. The average two or three storey house de- sign is adaptable to Canada with less difference of cost and construction than the average bungalow. Bungalow designs are more dominatdngly char- acteristic of the county of their con-

ception. '

This Canadian bungalow, anticipat- ing average weather conditions, pro- vides a hall entrance. Look at the bungalow designs in some of the plan books you have probably received and you will find a large percentage of the front entrances opening directly into the livingroom, or perhaps the ■diningroom or sunijoom. To reap the full benefit of this design the sunroom should have a southern exposure. The rising sun would then bid you a cheery good morning in the bedrooms and au revoir in the diningroom, livingroom and kitchen. The livingroom and sunroom would be especially favored by this arrangeihent. They would be very pleasant all day long, and the porch entrance would be from the south which you no doubt know is most desirable.

While it may not be your intention to build -a wall to obstruct the sun from either east or west you should remember that those who may build next to you have their own problems to consider, not yours, and you must therefore protect your own interests.

Looking at this floor plan you will

..THE IMPORTANCE OF PAINT.. IN building construction it is false

economy to accept any but the best m'aterials and workmanship. Upkeep | costs are liable to equal initial expen- diture for the house hastily put toge‘j ther or made of poorly selected lumber^ or otherwise deficient in the qualities that make it stand the test of time, and wear. |

Of no item in building construction is this^ more true than of paint. Your lumber may be of the best, but if poorly painted its life will be short. | The shingled or metal roof may be of good material and well laid, but if improperly stained or painted, it will^ soon leak.

In each detail, then, the prospective home owner cannot take too great care in getting the best painting job that to be had. This means, first of all that the paint itself must be good. If the product of a reputable manufac- turer is selected, its quality may bo depended upon. And secondly, it means that the paint must be well ap- plied. Poor surface preparation, a faulty priming coat ,bad weather con- ditions, an insufficient number of coats, rushed work—any one of these' may ruin the job. If cracking orj peeling results, which may occur if the paint is of inferior quality or incorrect-j ly applied, appearance is marred and ' surface protection is impaired. I

Another important aspect of paint-1 ing in home building is taking care of places that can’t be reached by the paint brush, once the house is complete. The undersides of tin roofs, for in- stance, should be painted before the

notice the bedrooms and bathroom are' a distinctly separate unit from thei livingroom, kitchen and front hall, Thai access between the latrter rooms is just as convenient and direct, if not' more so, than in the average two storey house, while the bedrooms and bath- room are equally as private and un- obtrusive as if upstairs. The doorway between the front bedroom and the livingroom is merely an added conven-

roof is laid. Shingles should be dipped in stain or paint—^the protective coat- ingcan never again be thoroughly ap- plied. Underneath parts of porches, steps and such places—because they are out of sight does rjpt mean they are out of the reach of decay. As a mat- ter of fact, the dampness of their loca- tion makes them particularly subject to this destructive process. There are many such spots where it is possible for the builder or contractor who does not give 100 per cent workmanship to skimp. At the time the effects may not be noticeable. But for every cent

U94) More than 11,000,000 tourists vis-

ited Ontario during 1928 and spent about $100,000,000, according to fig- ures Issued at the Provincial Par- liament Building in Toronto the other day. This is an increase of over 20 per cent, over the record made last year.

Production of tobacco in 1928 totalled 40,976,375 pounds from 43,138 acres. Of the total output the Province of Ontario accounted for 32,265,860 pounds from 32,654 acres; Quebec 8,546,325 pounds from 10,368 acres, and British Col- umbia 164,200 pounds from 116 acres.

Ethel Catherwood, who distin- guished herself as an athlete rep- resenting Canada at the Olympic games In Amsterdam i?i August, has been honoured by the Canadian Pacific Railway. A station on the recently constructed Rosetown- Perdue branch has been named “Catherwood,” after her.

Twenty-five years ago Thomas Hubert, now employed as a bag- gageman on the C. P. R. between Ottawa and North Bay, lost a valu- able silver watch while working in a field near Pembroke. The other day a glittering object was turned by a plough. It was Hubert’s watch, the glass broken and the hands gone, but still retaining a brilliant lustre. The field had been ploughed many times since it was lost.

Toronto is preparing to receive the largest number of prominent baseball figures ever to be in Can- ada at one time. The National Association of Professional Base- ball Leagues will meet there short- ly and every baseball club in America will be represented. Judge Landis will be on hand, and the total attendance expected to amount.to over five hundred, dele- gates coming from points as far as Pueblo.

The trainload of artificial snow that was brought from Hollywood to Lake Louise recently was not required by John Barrymore, in producing an Alpine movie story to be released shortly, as plenty of the real stuff was available at the glaciers. This popular actor, with Camilla Horn and a cast of about twenty-five persons, spent some three weeks at the Chateau Lake Louise, rising each morning at four o’clock in order to reach their “locations” on Victoria and Saddle- back Glaciers in time to get the best light effects in the morning for their various “shots”.

When a young couple from Cal- gary drifted back to the station at Winnipeg 10 minutes after the “Im- perial” had left for the east, Can- adian Pacific officials were given the choice the other day of feeding and otherwise caring for a nine- months-old baby for two days or holding the train for thirty-five minutes at North Transcona. They chose the latter, much lo the re- lief of the porter and conductor, who are not family men The re- united family sailed on the •’Mont- rose” to spend Christmas in Ibi old country.

WHAT HÏ5 LIKES.

Bai'k of Aspen Favorite Pood of Beaver.

That the aspen is the favorite food tree of the beaver seems to be the case everywhere throughout its j range, even when there are other de- ^ ciduous trees available, such as birch and maple, says a bulletin recently issued by the New York College of Forestry.

Beaveds will eat other food than aspen bark if they arc obliged to, and often do so from choice, especially in summer. No doubt they are glad of a change in diet. Even in summer, however, they consume much aspen, and even when using other plants. This seems to show that they really prefer aspen.

Aspen bark is evidently the staple and perhaps the exclusive food of the beaver in winter here, though some willow may be used. On Sept. 4, 1921, aspen boughs were found stor- ed in a pond at the Elk Creek Bench Colony, the only winter food storage noted up to that date during the two seasons’ study. It is very unlikely that any conifers are stored in the ponds for winter use. Aspen boughs and sprouts are a common summer food also in the Yancey regions; sprouts or seedlings a foot or two high were frequently found cut, the leaves and tender wood, as well as the bark, apparently being eaten.

While preferring well-drained soil, the aspen comes in ahead of other trees along streams and moist runs, harmonizing with the beaver’s adapt- ation to a water environment. Under normal wilderness conditions, where the predatory mammals are not un- duly restricted, the beaver cannot safely harvest trees beyond one or two hundred feet from its home pond or stream. The destruction of its chief food tree is limited to vhat gî- tent, and as aspen reproduces itself readily, by sprouting, the new crop starts at once and grows relatively fast. /

Where aspen trees are now scarce the beavers are using the bark of conifers, particularly Douglas fir.

“JACKO” AT LONDON ZOO.

First Ape of His Kind to Arrive There.

A Gibraltar Rock ape has recently arrived at the London Zoo, having made the journey from Gibraltar on board the Fleet Auxiliary Bacchus.

For many years the people of his native place have been trying to catch the young rascal, but they have only just succeeded, and then it was a smaller monkey which did the trick!

Jacko was out after, an early breakfast, and some gunners had pre- pared a trap for him. It had been there for some time, but never be- fore had this knowing ape followed the trail of nuts which led to the cage—and when he did the gunner on duty was asleep!

A small monkey was accompanying Jacko, however, and the little accom- plice unwittingly led the way into the trap, followed by his big friend. Once there the little monkey scampered out through the bars and the door slammed. Jacko was caught.

But the large grey ape which has come to live in London had his full share of fun while he was free. He was the leader of the tribe (there are only a few left in Gibraltar, for they have had to be shot owing to their mischievous habits), and he was certainly a very bad example.

One day Jacko broke into an offi- cer’s wife's bedroom and played havoc with her dressing-table, finally mak- ing off with a mirror. Another time he caught a boy by the ear and tried to drag him up a rock. The residents are not sorry that he is safe in Eng- land.

Jacko is the first ape of his kind to be taken to the London Zoo. He is seven yeai*s old and stands over three feet. His lovely grey coat and big, intelligent eyes make him an at- tractive ape. Carrots, nuts, and fruit are his diet, and so far he has eaten them with relish in spite of his captivity.

Skyscrapei*s for Britain? Is the skyscraper going to Invade

Britain? asks Answers. One big Man- chester firm is proposing to build a seventeen-story building.

This Is, of course, a pigmy as com- pared with such .American structures as the Woolworth Building, in New York, which is 790 feet high. But as the new building will be seven stories more than Ship Canal House, at pres- ent one of Manchester’s tallest, It will mark a definite step towards the sky- scraper style. The height will be about 217 feet, as against Ship Canal House’s 140 feet.

London’s buildings, too, are grad- ually getting taller—the proposed new shopping centre along Park Lane, which will consist of fairly high buildings, is an example of the tendency.

A Large Passenger -Locomotive. The largest passenger locomotive

in the British Empire emerged from the Angus shops of the Canadian Pa- cific Railway the other day—a tri- umph of Canadian design and engi- neering craftsmanship, a graceful mechanism nearly 100 feet long with a tractive effort of 60,800 pounds, equal to 3,685 horse-power. Although its weight, 424,000 pounds, is greater than that of any other passenger en- gine in Canada, the extensive use of Canadian nickel steel parts has re- duced it to a minimum, and the high ratio of tractive power to weight is a notable feature of the new engine.

Tree Grows Up Chinu>ey. A very unusual sight can be seen

in Jamaica. There is an old sugar factory there that has long been dis- used, and the big high chimney ol the factory has stood idle for many years. Unknown to anyone, an enter- prising young tree has been growing steadily up inside this chimney, ana now, at last, it has triumphantly reached the top, where it spieads out ockiug for all the world like a fine

tree with a stoue trunk.

 First Aider to the Rescue

“I was going to work on my motorcycle," explained the victim of a serious accident as he lay on a snowy hospital cot, “ when an auto came out of an alley, threw me to the pavement, tearing my boot off and severing an artery. Fortunately a Bell Telephone man was passing. He stopped the bleeding, made a tourniquet and had me in a fine shape when the ambulance arrived.” _ <

Instruction classes in all ranks of telephone employees have turned out an army of skilled First Aiders who are continually happening along when some victim of serious mishap is in dire need of assistance. Knowing what to do and just how to do it has saved many lives. Seventy per cent of all Bell Plant workers are qualified First Aiders.

When Lov0s DEWCr CCOVIS

THIS HAS HAPPENED VIRGINIA BREWSTER is in love

with an artLst, NATHANIEL DANN, but she is tricked into promising to marry FREDERICK DEAN in one year if she fails to earn $100,000 that he alleges her father cheated him out of.

BREWSTER had lost his fortune in speculation before his death and VIR- GINIA is left destitute. She pawns some of her jewelry and OLIVER CUT- TER promises to invest the money for her.

She seeks work, but without suc- cess. She discovers that she is being shadowed and suspects that DEAN has bribed the agencies not to help her. After word gets out that tho '^Brewster girU^ is job*seeking, shé is besieged by reporters.

CUTTER gains the confidence of VIRGINIA and shows her attentions which NIEL resents, but tdien she does not like the familiarity with which his model, CHIRl MONDy treats him.

DEAN sends VIRGINIA an even- ing wrap, which she returns, telling him how contemptible she thinks his spying tactics are. His threat to ruin CUTTER frightens VIRGINIA nd she wrns OLIVER. Then she is lucky en- ought to get position with steamship compny which she likes.

The summer passes and in early Sep- tember VIRGINIA is amazed when charger by Cutter wife with try- ing to alienate his affections. Eranti cally, she appeals to OLIVER to ex- plain and tells him she considers it best to withdraw her account from his.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

CHAPTER XXXVI VIRGINIA was at Oliver *s office the next m-orning before he arrived. She had experienced a night of terrible suspense, wondering how much money

All night she tossed and turned, dwelling alternately upon his attitude and Jennie’s accusation, with the spec- ter of defeat ever drawing closer, driv- ing her to the verge of despair.

Small wonder she looked a pitiful sight when she walked into Oliver’s office and asked if he had come in. Miss Evans started visibly when she saw her and was impelled to ask if she was ill.

^‘No, I’m all right,” Virginia an- swered wearily. ‘‘Do ^ou think Mr. Cutter will be in soon?”

‘ ‘ He may, ’ ’ Miss Evans answered kindly. “Quite often he is here be- •fore I am.” Quite often, yes .... perhaps once or twice a year, but Miss Evans wanted to encourage Virginia even if she ^did have to stretch the truth a little. She was sorely con- science-smitten on Virginia’s account. Her mental state had not been a plea- sant one since she ha\l been called into her employer’s office on the day she had first lunched with Virginia, and instructed to refuse further, invitations from the former society girl.

She was astonished to have her hope- ful assumption regarding Oliver’s ar- rival justified a few minutes later. He .showed no surprise at seeing Virginia there and asked her into his private «office almost without a preliminary greeting. Miss Evans understood the meeting had been arranged. '

But what parsed between the two she could only guess when, about 20 minutes later, Virginia staggered out of Oliver’s office and collapsed upon the floor. She had closed the door behind her, however, and there was no sound from her lips. Oliver did not know what had happened. Miss Evans instantly decided not to call him. She only glanced at the door with fierce

She prayed that, the losses^ The girl was not easily revived, sustained had not been severe. It though Miss Evans worked frantically would be tragic to endure a setback, es- pecially at this time when she was fac-

over her limp body. At the first sign of consciousness there was a wild, des-

ing the necessity of finishing what she perate light in her eyes. It terrified had started out to accomplish, without ]y;i.gs Evans. Virginia seized the lat- his assistance. For she must take her ter’s hand and clung to it while a veri- account elsewhere, she knew. There table paroxysm of trembling shook her was no hope of concealing anything in jik© the ague.

“Oh why did you bring this now?” Virginia wailed.

“Well, why not now?” Nathaniel drove on doggedly. ‘*Just because I haven‘t said anything about it was no reason for thinking I’d lost interest in the subject.”

And so again Virginia was forced •to put him off, and when they said good night she felt that he was hurt and puzzled. There was even a touch of aloofness in his kiss—and he took only one. It was not like Nathaniel.

“Do you know why?” she asked. “No, I don’j;” Miss Evans told

her; “but if.you will tell me what up'happened just now in his office’ per-

haps I may be able to figure it out.” “I learned that he has lost all the

money he had made for me,” Virginia informed her unhesitating^; “all but about $500. I have a check for that. It was the shock of finding out that I haven’t a great deal more that upset me so completely.”

Miss Evans looked blank. “The made he made for you?” she repeat- edly, perplexed. “He didn’t make any, Miss Brewster. I know that. Your account has stood at $300 all summer, and he never once bought any- thing for you.”

“Are ytu sure?” Virginia cried. “Quite sure. I wonder why he told

you such a thing? But I see now why he didn’t want us to be friendly. He kne-w I’d tell you the truth. I sus- pected he was up to some trieke»*y but I didn’t think it mattered enough to me to risk losing my position to warn you, but it did. I’ve hated myself ever since I let him dictate to me how I should treat you. I really wanted to help you but I was too eow’ardly.”

“There wasn’t any reason why you should have risked anything for my sake,” Virginia said, giving her hand a sympathetic little pat. “But you are risking your job now, you know,” she

added as a reminder that Miss Evans had brought a serious charge against her employer.

“I’ve made up my mind to le.ive hdm, ” the secretary stated grimly. “But can’t you think of some rea- son why he might have deceived you?” . “Yes, I think I can,” Virginia re- plied in a small ,tight voice. She was thinking of the night when her doubt of Oliver’s true friendship had first arisen. But so well had re played his cards since then—holding his trumps-^ that she had been lulled into perfect confidence in him. “But I’m not al- together sure,,” she went on, more to herself than ip her listener. “I will know very soon, though. Will you get me a glass of water, please, Miss Evans?”

Miss Evans brought water in a paped cup and Virginia sipped it slow- ly. “I don’t suppose you could give me a check for $300 and take this one,” she said suddenly.

“That would be impossible for le to do,” Miss Evans replied.

“Never mind, I’ll get it from him.” Virginia walked firmly back to

Oliver’s office and right to his desk without faltering. She was fighting mad now, and he at once saw that something had happened to turn her against him.

“I want to know why you’ve been lying to me,” she demanded as he got up to face her. Her words clipped off like bits of ioe. Oliver mado a shivering gesture to pretend fear, but Virginia did not thaw in the least.

“Oh, you mean about the difference between your money and that?” he said, observing the cheek in her hand. “Just a little trick to give you a lift, Virginia. Hoy did you find it out?” His voice was light but he could not conceal an expression of uneasiness in his eyea.

“Give me another cheek at once,” she ordered him, quickly deciding to play his game until the matter of her account was properly settled, and throwing the slip of paper on his desk.

Oliver drew out his check book and wrote a second check. When .'Vir- ginia had it in her bag she raised her ^yes ■to his and gave him a look he was to remember with a sheepish feeling for a long time to come.

“Now I want to know why you have been pretending you were making money-fpr me^'’ she sard'with danger- ous quietness.

CHAPTER XXXVII OLIVER waved her to a seat. “If

we’we got to go into all that, please' sit down,” he said after a few seconds of close inspection of Virginia’s fea- ture’s. She had somewhat learned en- ough O'f his duplicity to require an ex- planation on his part, he reasoned.

Any attempt at further concealment would be futile, he knew. And he did not regret that things had come ■to an impasse . . the affair had dragged it- self beyond the time he had thought would be necessary for the fulfillment of his plans.

In the hours he had spent with Vir- ginia alone in his office he had hoped to find an opportunity to tell her of his infatuation and make her listen to him. But no such opjwrtunity had presented itself. Virginia had remained defin- itely businesslike and aloof.

At times he had been driven to the verge of declaring his passion regard- less of her distant manner—a manner her sense of impropriety in the meet- ings had inspired in her. He had tried little things, such ms lingering handclasps, revealing glances, hints of domestic unhappiness and other for- mulas for breaking the ice.

Virginia had ignored them on the occasions they had penetrated her con- sciousness. She did not wish to re- peat the mistake she believed she had made about him dn the beginning, and so she told herself that Oliver was merely lonely and looking for sympa- thy she had no intention of giving him.

Generally she failed to notice his thinly-veiled efforts to inject a wedge of personal interest into their meetings for the reason that she was absorbed in her own problems. Her mind was obsessed with the idea of freeing her- self from Frederick Dean’s clutches. She had given little thought to any- thing else when with Oliver.

She had not dared let herself dwell on the cost of failure when in Natha- niel ’s company, because he read trou- ble in her face and asked questions. At the office sho resolutely put it out of her mind to devote herself to work. But with Oliver she was frankly con- sumed with anxiety about the outcome of his efforts to help her.

It was just this buprning desire each time' they met to know if he had made any gain that impressed him with the importance of the money to her. She had not told him what it meant to her, but he knew it concerned Frederick Dean and concluded that the man had some hold on her.

Often he had seen a flash of fear and hatred in her eyes when Dean’s

MRS. WHITE

It looks almost like magic—^the way a wealth of health floods the body under the healing influence of “Fruit-a- tives.” Indigestion, Gas and Pain after Eating, Headaches and Constipa- tion simply disappear. As Mra. E. White of West TorontOj Ont., states :C “I suffered from Indigestion for months and could not eat a square meal. Since taking ‘Fruit-a-tives* every trace of Stomach Trouble has disappeared.

name was mentioned, and his wish to posses her was rather to the thought that she- might listen to him in a last, des pairing effort to frustrate Deaji.

Cleverly, and without pang of re- morse, he had led her believe that he was succeeding in his speculations for her and would have the sum needed at the end of the year she had given him to accumulate j.t. Failing to win before that time, it had been his in- tention to overwhelm her at the last moment with his bombshell of disaster, by telling her he had lost the entire sum in one gamble.

Then—well, he was prepared to part with $100,000 if she wanted it badly enough.

But Frederick Dean’s disclosure of his knowledge of their secret meetings had changed his plans, making it ne- cessary to tell Virginia this lie pre- maturely.

Just how she had discovered that it was a lie Oliver could not at the mom- ent guess, but he quickly made up his mind that this would probably be the last chance he would have to regain any of hi-s lost ground and he deter m'ined to take advantage of it.

Virginia took the chair, steeling her- self to hear almost anything from a man who had tricked Jier so miserably. She "wondered at herself for coming back when she was sure she knew why he had done it. But there was a chance that she was wrong about his motive, and if she were she felt she had a right to demand that he tell her Hs real reason for deceiving her.

Oliver did not leave her long in un certainty.

“Did you truly believe that I could make $100,000 from $300 in a year’s time?”- he askedi, as though it were the most inconceivable thing in the world.

But Virginia was not nonplussed as he hoped she would be. “Please re- member that I have doubted it many times,” she replied calmly, “and you always assured me you could do it.”

Oliver l(x>ked straight at her, sat down in his chair, placed his elbows on the'arms, and leaned forward and said very coolly; “And so I can—on my own terms as a broker. Can’t you guess why I’ve been pulling the wool over your eyes, Virginia? I’d have done worse than that if it would have put you in my power. I wanted to get you in a hole so deep you couldn’t climb out without any help.

“I’m madly in love "with you. If Jeanie would give me a divorce I’d marry you, but she told me before we were married thaf she never would be a divorced woman, and she told me so again last night. She’d tear your re- putation to shreds if I tried to divorce her.”

He stopped for breath and Virgini.a stared at him ,speechlessly fascinated by his complete revelation of his true feelings.

“It’s true that I haven’t made a red cent for you,” he went on, speaking in a voice that vibrated through its ef- forts to suppress its inflections. “You need that hundred thousand badly, don’t you? Give half your life for it, wouldn’t you? Well, you’ll never make it on Wall Street—n^t on the market, I mean, but you can have it.

“I told you not to worry. I’d have let you know in a few days—when, you’d have had time to realize thatj more than half your year is gone andi you’re broke. But since you’ve found out now that I never made any money for you there’s no reason why you shouldn’t hear the rest 'Of it.

“I’m going up to the Adirondaeks next week when Jeanie closes the] place on Long Island. A hundred j thousand dollars is a lot of money, j Virginia; I guess you know that. Quite: a lot to make in a week, anyway. But if you’re ready to go with me next Tuesday I’ll give you a cheek for that; amount as soon as we’re on the train.”

He spoke hurriedly as though iu fear she would interrupt him, but Vir-

ginia was too stunned to say a word. She had half expected him to confirm her worst suspicions, but she had not dreamed he would stdll believe that she could have anything but utter loathinr; and contempt for him. She could not believe he would dare say such things to her.

He waited for her answer and for several long torturing seconds Virginia sat silent in the grip of shock. Oliver, watching, saw her dilated eyes contract back to normal and her stiffly held body relax slowly. He was not quick enough to grasp the fact that this was the breaking of the spell that held her.

When she jumped to her feet and blazed away at him with white hot words of anger, he was taken by sur- prise. Having failed to realize that she was shocked into silence, he had cn tertained a growing hope that she was giving consideration to his offer of a fortune.

He shrank back from her fury in alarm while she continued to pour out her wrath upon him. Virginia was mad with despair and disgust, caught in the trap of a man so unscrnpulons she could not think of words suffieieot- ly scathing to denounce him as she felt he deserved to be denounced.

“If you only knew what you’ve done-” she cried at last when words of condemnation failed her. Her fierce anger was abating, giving way to panic. Her hands fluttered up to her throat and clutched it nervously while she swayed dizzily and fell against Oli- ver’s desk for support.

Failure, stark and hopeless, stared her in the face. She knew there was little chance on the market now.

What had she to start with? Three hundred dollars. A little more than

she had saved from her salary and per- haps a thousand or two that Mr. Gar- diner had told her recently she mi^ht reasonably expect from the estate, which was still in process of being set- tled.

But who would help her, with Mr. Dean, and perhaps Oliver now, stand- ing by to persecute her? And would she ever dare trust anyone again?

And, now that he had destroyed lier fool’s paradise here, would not her enerriy attack her from another quar- ter? These thoughts trailed through Virginia’s mind like searing wires drawn across her brain. Her position with the Blue Capella might be the next thing to be torn from her.

But all that was very, very little compared to the final great fear that'

edged through the others and served definitely to crush her,

Frederick Doan could carry his in- formation to Nathaniel! He could in- iject the same poison there that he had used to convince Jeanie o fan affair between her arid Oliver.

Oliver saw Virginia’s head drop for- ward and her face go deadly white. He thought she was falling and sprang to catch her.

As his arms closed round her she lifter her face and stared ,at him. Oli- ver saw surrender in her eyes.

Warns Dairymen Against Selling of kiileb Stock

Toronto, Ont., Nov. 30.—A note of warning was sounded to dairymen of Eastern Canada-when Hon,’ W. R. Mo- therwell, Federal minister- of agricul- ture, addressed today’s meeting of the National Dairy Council now being held here. Dr. Motherwell -declared there was grave danger of Canada’s excel- lent dairy herds becoming depleted through the sale of milch stock to United States Dairy interests. Unless stopped they would find their herds depleted and vitiated*, and milk pro- ducts of poor quality with lowered prices.

Once before in the history of Cana- dian dairying the farmers of this coun- try found themselves in a bad position owing to the fact that they had sold all their stock across the border. Thi? was immediately after the American civil war, when cattle prices soared as they are doing today.

Dr. Motherwell advised the dairymen to steer a middle course. "I do not say yH)u should reject all tempting of- fers for your stock," he said, "but make sure you do not ruin your herds. I know it is som^imes hard t-o resist the temptation of taking unprecedented prices for your herds, ,but remember you will pay for it eventually if you go to extremes.

Sixteen special cachets covering the flights in the scheme have been issued by the post office department, the color scheme of which is to be changed wèek by week- ;

Already thousands of letters have, poured iu from all parts of the world,, some of them as far away as SiaJfi. These letters have been mailed in ad- vance by people anxious to secure the historical first covers on the flights which will constitute the fastest air mail service on this continent, and which will cut off 24 hours on the trips both east and west from coast to coast.

Froiecting lie Newspaper (Toronto Globe )

The recent decision of the Alberta courts in a case involving The Calgary Herald and a circus company is of im- portance to every newspaper thought the Dominion, and to the public as well. Every large journal which depends for much of it6 "copy" on telepraph and cable despatches is placed to some ex- tent at the mercej’ of charlatans who, with an axe to grind, issue propaganda thinly disguised as news. Sometimes, as in this Western case «deliberate is- representation is empl-oyed* in order to secuje some free publicity. The com- pany in question telegra*^hed a news despatch to the Calgary paper stating that .the owners of the circus would invest a large sura of money in a mov- ing picture enterprise. The local im- portance of the suggested project gave it a "news’^ valiie that justified The Herald iu publishing the item, which later proved to be nothing more than a figment of the imagination of the publicity agent attached to the circus. An action was immediately brought by the newspaper against the conlpany. and a favorable judgment for the plain- tiff secured. The defendant had to pay damages and costs. The judgment was also sustained by the Supreme Court. Words of censure were address- ed by the judge to the circus company, whose action was described as a "de- liberate, fraudulent, and unfortunately a successful attempt to impose as an item of news something which they apparently conjured up and exploited for their own purpose of self-advcdtis- ing. ’ *

The decision in this case will be dis- tiUctly encouraging to newspapers everywhere. It also constitutes a warning to the unscrupulous person who does not hesitate to use the press for his private ends by sending out fake despatches. Every paper -of any standing takes the utmost care to guard its columns from untruthful news. Sometimes, as in this instance, the item may be so cleverly disguised as to have all the earmarks of genuineness. It is good to know that in such cases the law of the land will not hesitate to give redress to a journal and protect the public’s interest.
