Sbgarry’s Second . Annual Seed Fair

As annoTiiieed previously the Glen- garry Plowmen ^8 Association are tin- dertaking once again the task of put- ting on a “Seed Pair”. This Exhibi- tion will be held at Alexandria, on the 17th and 18th of January. The results of last èeason^fi Paii^ encouraged the Association so much that the members at their annual election of officers endorsed the undertaking nnre- •aervedly. The exhibitors and general public were warm in their praise of last year's eftforts so. iloÂ, the Asso- ciation felt- they were helping in a good -cause. The principal object of this years’ Pair will be as o'! lust yearj to facilitate marketing of surplus seed available in the county. The Association feels that it is not the number ôf entries, the general good quality of all exhibits, the crowds o^ spectators and so forth that will make {he Fair a success from a farmers’ standpoint but the necessity of the exhibitors having substantial quantities of good seed for sale to show the last ing good done by an exhibition of this

tors dispose of at better prices. •There will be 14 classes this year as

stated on prize lists which you can have for the asking. Alfalfa and sweet clover have been added in the small seeds to encourage ■ the growers of these two important lines.

Due to the efforts of our District Representative we have this year a quantity of Registered Barley in our county. A class for'this grain has been added to the list^ also one for barley grown by our Local Boys Barley Clubs, making in all four Barley classes; namely Barley, Malting Bar- l«^y Registered Barley and Boys ’ Club Barley. This grain /has proven its value as a cash crop and latest developments in outside markets should enhance its Value ag a profitable farm crop.

Again this year, Mr. J. D^ McLeod will have charge of educational features dealing with weed and weed seeds. Mr. F. 0. McRae will be manager again and that in itself assures âll arrangements for another successful exhibition. Tour Seed Cleaning Plants are at your disposal to ensure proper cleaning of your grain and seeds!.

'There will be a Junior Judging Com- petitTon on same li\ies as last year, open to all residents' of Glengarry and East Stormont, under 23 years of age. Entries will , be accepted to 1 p.m.> January 17th when they will be ar- ranged and judged January 18th which will be the principal day of Fair. "When the general public will have access to exhibits^ special speaK- ers will -address the assembled exhibitors and visitors. The Pair directors feel that if all placing and judging is made the fir^t day it will allow more time for showing and educational features. Special prizes and features will be announced from time to time. The Association asks everyone in the district to take an interest in the Fair, make it our Fair, something to be proud of and then the farming community is sure to derive benefits from its success, * ^

Dee. I4th,. Rev. Alexander L. McDon- ald, P.P. o!£l Sft, Mary's, WilUaras- town and St. William’s Chapel Mar- tintown,observed the silver jubilee of his ordination to the holy priesthood The Jubilariaii was the celebrant of a Solemn High Mass of thanksgiving at ten o’clock that morning, in St. Mary’s Church. That sacred edifice was filled with many friends yho gathered from far and near to honour Fa- ther McDonald on this memorable occasion. Rev. Ewen J. Macdonald Alexan- dria was deacon of the Mass and Rev. C. F. Gauthier Apple Hill, sub-deacou; with Rev. J. H. Bougie, Crysler, master of ceremonies.

All the priests of the Diocese and Fathers A. J. McDonald and A. Lei- lis, of ScarboTo Bluff’s, Ont., were also present in the sanctuary.

A combined choir of the two parish- es rendered the musical programme. The main altar was adorned with yel- low chrysanthemums while white lil- lies and red carnations decorated the

kind as in the extra grain that exhibit altars, all of which brought cre- dit to the sanctuary committee of the Ladies Guild.

An address in English was read by Mr. A. A. McDonald and one in French by Mr. Eugene Fofltin ajb.d in the name of the two congregations a purse, augmented by friends of other denominations^ was presented Father McDonald, by Mr. J, E. McKamara.

Father McDonald spoke most feelingly of the tribute paid him by the parishioners and others which, empha- sized the true community feeling which existed there and vicinity and in the course of his remarks which were clos-ely followed by the large con- gregation, .made reference to the years that have passed since his ordination.

Father McDonald an^ the clergy in attendance were entertained at dinner by Ladies Guild in the parish hall, which was resplendent with lav- ish decorations, silver streamers, papal and national flags being used to good effect. The table deeîrations were roses, mums and white tapers in silver holders.

Rev. D. A. Campbell was chairman and toastmaster. The local orchestra very pleasingly and effectively con- tributed several numbers.

The (Silver jubilarian, Father Mc- Donald, is widely known and as widely esteemed and revered for his zeal in {he interests of his people both spiritual and temporal an<j all will join^ in extending congratulations and in the wish that he will be spared tu exercise the offices pertaining to the holy priesthood for many years to ceme

The Separate School Question The Catholic Bishops of Ontario

have for many years been fighting valiantly to persuade our legislators in this Province to abiend the school laws so aiS to I'ive to the Catholi-î Separate Schools their just share of the taxes paid each year by public service corporations and other compan- ies doing business in Ontario. It has been at times a heartbreaking struggle due partly to the indifference of Catholics themselves but chiefly to the fact fhat nqn-Catholics generally were unfamiliar with tbe true facts behind the movement and were therefore inclined fo view with suspicion any attempt to take away from the Public Schools taxes which had con- tinually been treated as belonging thereto.

It was first necessary to educate the Catholics themselves as to the his- torical and legal aspects of their case. All those who studied the question; soon realized that a great injustice existed, but few were sufficiently con- versant with the real situation to be a-ble to explain i£ to \pthers. This edu- cationa^l campaign finally boru fruit and the Catholic laity awakened to a full realization of the unequal burden it had been carrying for years.

There still remained the task of convincing the Provincial authorities that Catholics were unanimous in de- mandng justice for their schools and that their demand was based on strict-r ly legal rights which they -vffere at present prevented from enforcing. The recent statement of Premier Henry seems to indicate that the Gov- ernment is satisfied with the proofs adduced.

-So that the public generally may understand the facts as they exist wo have been requested to publish a series of short articles which will ''appear fdrom time to time in these columns. We fully realize that all the Christian Churches must now unite to cotaibat their common foe, wj^ther under the guise of communism, socialism, or ma- terialism, which is bringing forth a race of people professing and practis- ing no religion whatsoever. Anything which may tend to remove prejudices and misunderstandings between the various churches and draw them closer together should be worthy of full and i^mpartial eonsideîation. We feel these- fore that these articles will be of interest to our readers and that they will serve a useful purpose thr):;gh- out the district in throwing light on a subject which has frequently been misunderstood.

Peace On Earth For a short space 'Of time the whirl-

ing storm of words is hush^ and we speak the sentences which convey the kindly sent'ments of the season asso- ciated with^ the coming of the Prince of Peace. Few years have heard so. many words uttered, about the past and the possible warfare through mili- tary and kindred means than that which is passing awayt N ot one of the Chr^st- niases since the angels sang their an- ttem to the watching shepherds has swept aside for a short while such masses of language connected with that other warfare which, we call commerce. Ihe dislocations which have brought suffering to many honest men, and hardship'to homes which had hitherto known nothing but plenty have ' set many men to think and devise through common sharing oif ideas and lias let loose floods of speech.

Like him who lay in the cradle bed they may soon be surrounded by the forces of evil, and the narrowness of vision, the selfishness which seeks even more than its own, but, mean- while, let their merry laughter ring in gladness to give us the peace which îs conscious of their joy.

Mr. Jes. J. Aeeneilf Feriuer Gteegarrian Passes

Joseph J. Kennedy, resident of Ash- land,, Wisconsin for over 40 years and a member of the Chequamegon Bay Old Settlers’ Club passed away Sun day, October at the home of his daughter, Mrs. E. F. Roehm at Spoon'- er. Wisconsin, iflollowing a week’s illness which followed a paralytic stroke.

Mr. Kennedy was born May 7, 1864 in Glengarry. Ontario, Canada. He was united in marriage to Janet O’Brien at Alexandria, Ontario in 1886 and went to Ashland in 1887.

Mr. Kennedy was employed as a member of the Ashland police fores and was sergeant for some time. Later he became chief of police. After his work as a policeman he entered into the hotel business and operate^ the American House' at Ashland. He re tired fro)m the hoteil businenss last year. He was a member of the St. Ag- nes Catholic Church.

Surviving are his widow, three daughters Mrs. E. F. Roehm of Spoon- er^ Mrs. G. E. Goslin of Spooner and Mrs. James Rreen, Jr, of Minneapolis: six grand children; two sisters Mrs. Madge MacDonell of Vancouver Bri- tish Columbia and Mrs. Flora Cunning- ham of Spokane, Wiashington, three brothers, Angus of£ Ashland, George ■)? Mellen Wiscouein and John of St. Paul, Minnesota.

JOE KENNEDY PA.SSES (Editorial fr'om th« Ashland Press) Joe Kennedy’s passing takes from

us another of the pioneer figures of the days wheu Ashland was a rough- and-ready lumber town.

The romance of that era. has come and gone, Joe Kennedy lived through it, first as a policeman then as ser- geantj then as chief of police,

Tho*se of us who are younger live in a different Ashland from the one Joe Kennedy knew—certainly a less colorful scene. The lumbering days are gone, with the feverish hqctic urge to cut the p:'ne that motivated the hundreds whe came and went from here, and which gave Ashland ‘all the dramatic setting of a mining boom.

The passing of Joe Kennedy seems to push that colorful era farther into history. He is gone and it is as if an other chapter in the story of the Lake Superior country is marked “finis”.

Plucky ïoelh Saves life

The local paper issued at Port Haney, B.C., under date of Nov. 29th, hafl the following:

‘ * Quick thinking and the plucky conduct of Donald McDonald, 18, saved the life of Gordon Stephen, 16 who was being swept to death in the Fra- ser River, Tuesday afternoon.

Stephen fell into the icy water from a boat moored near the old Martyn lumber mill and, being unable to swim, was drowning when McDonald, fully dothéd, plunged into the riVer and rescued him.

Both are none the worse for the im- mersion.

Donald is a son of Chief Constable Norman McDonald here.”

We may add that the plucky youth referred to is a grandson of Mr. and Mrs. D. E. MacMaster of Laggan. 0

Gleugarry’s Departed Clary (Ottawa Citizen)

The passing of the years brings vast changes to the physical periphery and the people of a community. Fifty years ago there wasn’t anything more Scottish in Scotland than the town- ships of Kenyon - and Loehiel of Glen- garry county, and there were more Mc- Donells and McDonalds there than there are Irishmen and dusky sons of Italy in New York city. The conces- sion lines fairly groaned with their weight of numbers, so many of them, in fact, that they were compelled to employ all sorts of sobriquets to dis- tinguish between them^ while Gaelic was the predominant language and oat- meal .the favorite builder of a nation.

Today Gaelic is a language almost as dead as the dodo while porridge now ranks with side wriskers, sporrans, the reaping hook and other decadent and forgotten things. And so it is with the McDonells and McDonalds. In the recent municipal elections in Kenyon the personnel of thé new council is MacKinnon^ Leroux, Gray, Mac- Rae and Raymond. Loehiel, famed in Scotland’s literature and lyrics, chose a council comprising a Seguin, a Le- gault, a Hay and a Capren, all good men, doubtless^ but what of Scots What Haeî

Corewall Hauers Sir Arllrer Currie

In common with eVery city and town ' in Canada where a branch of the Canadian Legion of the B.E.S.L. is located members of the Canadian Le- gion ofl Cornwall held a memorial service Sunday afternoon, in the Capital Theatre for Sir Arthur Currie, G.

Headed by Cornwall City Band, members of the Legion and ex-service men from Cornwall and district march- ed from the Legion hall to the theatre and occupied seats reserved for them. Other bodies in the^reserved area were the clergy^ the I.O.D.E., City Council, Salvation Army, Board of Trade, the Boy Scouts and boards of the various educational institutions. A large drap- ed picture of Sir Arthur was displayed on the stage. i

The theatre was comfortably filled and l^^d Sir Arthur Currie been a re» sident of Cornwall no greater tribute could Ijave been paid his achievements or memory than . those paid by the speakers who addressed the gathering.

Captain Fra'nk H. Hunter, M;C., president of Cornwall branch of the Legion, occupied the chair, and ' on the platform with him were Major the Rev. Ewen J. Macdonald, JLC., of Alexandria; Captain the Rev. James Pauldis, D.D., ,of Cornwall^ both of whom were overseas chaplains; D. B. Robb, Regt. Sgt. Mdjor, Robert H. Metcalf, of fhe Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders, and Com- rade George E. Williams^ of the 21st Battalion.

Major the Rev. Ewen J. Macdonald, Comrade D. B. Robb and Capt., the Rev. Dr. Paulds were the speakers, each paying tribute to one phase or a^nother of Sir Arthur’s career overseas and his work of rehabilition for ex-service men since his return as well ae eulogizing his fine . service in connection with McGillj each acknow- ledginng that veterans all over Can- ada felt a k-een sense of his loss.

As the lights were dimmed, Begt., Sgt.-Major Metcalf sounded the Lasû Post, and Comrade G. E. Williams re- cited Canon Scott’s “The Silent Toast to Our Fallen Comrades,’^ prior to the Reveille by Comrade Metcalf during which the lights were gradually restored.

During the service the hymns sung accompanied by the band were “0 God Our Help In Ages Past,” and “Fight The Good Fight.’'’ The singing of “God Save The King” brought the service to a close.

GlengaiTii Poullry Peel Preneuuced a Success

The scene at the Alexandria Armour- , ies, Friday, on the occasion of the holding of the Poultry Pool, was interesting and instructive to the many, despite the inblement weather^ who made it a point to attend. During tho x previous evening the drill hall underwent a complete transformation. Offi- cials under the supervision of Messrs. H. McLeod and H. J. Kelly, saw the necessary tables installed for the re- ception, grading, and packing of the poultry received with the result that Friday’s proceedings went off with- Dut a hitch. Departmental officers present were Mr. W. A. Brown, Chief of the Poultry Services; Mr. Ed. Bonni- man^ Chief Grader, Dominion Poul- try Services; Mr, J. W.

Heckey ? After a lapse of some eight yeans

the greenhorn hockey matches which enlivened the old rink at Alexander Hall, in the days of “Speed” Charle- bois et al, have been revived at the instigation of that premier .puek-eha- ser Ubald Rouleau and *Tie first en- counter is any criterion of what is to ecme sports lovers of Alexandria should get quite a kick when they play again.

Monday night was the occasion of this epic struggle and although it was all of 10.30 before the game got under way, many spectators had gathered to cheer or jeer as the play demanded. The only qualification asked of a person wishing to play was that he be a real greenhorn at the game and although one or twb ringers managed to enter the line-ups, on the whole mos^ of the players qualified in this respect.

No substitutes were allowed on either team as every player is supposed to be a sixty minute man bnt after about five minutes of play (members of both teams were quito pleased to see Dr. Markson execute his specialty of lifting the puck high over the boards. Dr. Cheney, althongh he hasn’t played for years^ since tho days when he was a stand-out in the Ottawa Valley, showed that he still knows what to do with the puck and scored three goals of his team’s four goals, Bruce Macdonald ge)tting the other. For the opposition Bob Graham/ Elie Chenier and Bruce Irvine shared equally in the six goals which beac Brunet. Basil Macdonell refereed the game without benefit of whistle or skates and entej’ed into the spirit of the thing by doing a very greenhorn- ish job of it.

PAGE TWO ALEXANDRIA, ONT, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1933.

POOR COWS

To reduce the, production of dairy products, we advocate selling: the cull and the^ diseased cow. We cannot comprehend how dairying can be placed upon a profitable basis when such a high percentage of cows do not pay for feed consumed.

We recognize that we may divide farming into two groups—one a mode of life and the other a business and a mode of life. Our chief effort is devoted to the group of dairy farmers who desire to place dairying upon a business basis. This, means keeping good cows, those that will produce at least 250 lbs. butterfat a year.

We find certain dairy farmers who do not believe/it is wise tp sell the cow that does not give a sufficient return to pay for her feed. There are those who declare they do not believe 23456UTJ healthy cow. To us this is ridiculous. Plenty of, healthy cows do not produce as much as 150 lbs. fat on the average. The consumer does not expect a dairy farmer to milk a cow from which h-3 cannot get enough return to pay for what she eats

Those souls who feel that selling the poor cow would create such a shortage of dairy production that the welfare of the nation would be .ieopardized do not know cows or the dairy business'. Since the inception of Hoai-d’s Dairyman we have urged keeping better cows and sellin.g the poor ones, real- izing that if we are to place dairying upon a pro-, per basis, it must be done with capable cows. There is no other system.'

The stubborn fact remains that with all the effort that has been put forth by our experiment 'stations, dairymen’s associations, and the dairy press, our cows have increased in pj,'oduetion in the last fifty years not to exceed one pound of fat per cow per year. The trouble with the times is that there arç too many people meddling with the dairy industry, people who do not have any real understanding of principles and practice.s which must be followed to place this indu.stry upon a basis where the dairy farmer can make a, decent fivinng. Too many ,raen 'are connected with it who are more concerned about their own little -jobs than they are about improving the dairy farmer’s income. Of cour.se, 11.ew are will'ey to improve the dairy industry if it does not interfere •with their jobs but their jobs come first.

We recognize that if every poor, cow were sold, there '«'■ould be a shortage of, dairy products that might jopardize the welfare of the nation, but there is not going to be any such wholesale disposal of poor cows. We are selling each year from the national dairy herd, four to four and one-half million cows. Tf we could ât this time sell a million more than the average,, there would be no troublesome surplus of dairy products. Even if the prices of dairy products did not materially advance, the, dairy farmer would be benefited by selling his poor cow, because there are many herds where the poor cow absorbs the profit of the good cow.

There is no such thing as placing the dairy industry upon a profitable basis with cows producing an average of but 170 lbs. of fat a year. Wo must have herds averaging at least 250 lbs: of fat Why this 'quibbling over disposing of cows that produce less than this qn.antity of fat?—Hoard’s Dairyman.

A. We would suggest the cutting up of corn fodder, either with a .shredder or ensilage cutter so that it may be more readily handled. The cows should be given an opportuninty to pick this over in the feed manger and the coarser bits of stems moved back for bedding. Silage may be fed up to 40 lbs. a head daily. The grain mixture should contain some high protein f-îed and a liberal allowance of bran. We would suggest a mixture of 400 lbs. ground ccrn and cob, 400 lbs, ground oats 000 lbs. wheat bran, and 400 lbs. of a high protein concen- trate. This should be fed according to production, 1 lb. grain to every 3 to 4 lbs. of milk produced per day.

Q. What substitutions may be made in making up grain mixtures for dairy cows?

A. Barley, wheat, and corn, generally speak- ing, may replace each other pound for pound. Oats and bran are worth about the same, pound for pound. Cottonseed meal, linseed meal, soybean meal, gluten meal, and eraeked soybeans have practically the same feéding value in a suitably balanced ration.

Q. 'What protein levels should the grain mixture contain in order to balance timothy as a roughage, mixed hay, and alfalfa?

A. We presume silage is available with each each roughage mentioned. Timothy requires a protein level about 17 per cent digestible. A sample grain mixture would be oats 100 lbs. ; corn, 100 lbs. ; bran, 100 lbs. ; and gluten meal, 100 lbs.

A mixed bay requires about a 14 per cent level. A grain mixture suitable for this roughage would contain oats 100 lbs. : corn 200 lbs. ;. bran, 100 lbs. ; and gluten meal; 100 lbs. '

With alfalfa as a roughage, the protein content of the grain may be dropped to 11 oc|r 12 per cent. A mixture of oats, 200 lbs. : corn and cob meal, 400 lbs. ; bran, 100 lbs., and gluten meal, 100 lbs. would be very satisfactory. o

ENSLRING FERTILIZER GUARANTEE

The Fertilizer Act has for its main purpose the protection of farmers and other buyers of fertilizer against being .defrauded, and the principal possible avenue of fraud is in not meeting the guaranteed analysis, say.s the Chief of the Fertilizer Division of the Dominion Seed Branch. This is because the value of a fertilizer depends largely on its content of available plant food, that is, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash; and these cannot bo determined b^"- casual examination, but by chemi- cal analysis only. To ensure the meeting, of the guaranteed analysis it is necessary that each fertilizer found on sale in Canada be officially inspect- ed and analyzed one or more times each year.

This is done by officers of the Dominion Seed Branch 'and the results of analysis of such official samples are compared by. the inspectors with the vendors’ guarantee, as required to be stated bn the bag containing the fertilizer or on an attached label. When failure to meet guarantee isv proven by tlie report of analysis, the seizure or prosecution provisions of the Act may be invoked with serious consequences to offenders. 0—

TIMELY TIPS ON FEEDING COWS THIS WINTER

(Hoard’s Dairyman) A Dairyman recently wrote us, “There is no

beter way to lose money than to feed cows wrong.” This is probably more true .during times when

feedstuffs are high and butterfat prices are low than when the'reverse is true. Can Hoard’s Dairy- man help you with your problem of feeding cows to make rather than to lose money?

In this story we will attempt to answer a few of the more general que.st;ons that come up on

feeding. If your problem is a' bit different from any discussed here, we earnestly invite you to ■write -us a letter stating tho.?e questions you may have.

Q. I have on hand plenty of good quality alfalfa and silage but no grain. What would, you buy, if anything, to balance this ratio-n? .. ......

_ A. It is entirely possible to balance a ration with alfalfa hay and silage alone where maximum production is not an important consideration. A daily ration of 14 lbs. of good alfalfa hay and 40 lbs. of silage will provide a eow with enough feed nutrients to produce 25 lbs. of 4 per cent milk. Under ordinary conditions, cows will not eat much in excess of the amounts mentioned above; conse- quently, high producing cows will not continue to produce large amounts of milk on this roughage ration.

If a preferred market encourages greater production, we would advise a grain mixture of 400" lbs. ground corn, 200 lbs. bran, and 100 lbs. of the lowest priced high protein feed on your local market. This grain mixture should be fed at the rate' of one pound of grain to every 4 to 5 lbs. of milk produced per day, the higher amounts of feed to higher testing individuals.

Q. At the present,' market price for high protein feeds, can I afford to balance my ration of com and oats fed •with com silage and timothy hay?

A. It is very easy to lose perfectly good carbo- hydrate feed nutrients because efficient protein is not available for making- milk. For instance, a daily ration of 10 lbs. timothy hay, 30 lbs. silage, 4 lbs. corn and cob meal, and 4 lbs of ground oats is so limited in protein that but 10 lbs. of 3 per cent milk is possible according to the lïaeeker feeding standard. By adding daily 1 lb. cottonseed meal to the ration above, enough prot('in is provided to increase production up to 20 lbs. of 3 per cent milk. .The' expenditure of 1 lb of high protein feed results in 0.3 of a pound of fat worth about 7.05 cents.

Q. I have com stover, silage, no hay. and some ear corn and oats to feed. How can I best main- tain fair prqductioon?

OXIDIZATION OF FRUITS

The flavouring components of fruits are easily oxidized, that is, they absorb oxygen which com- prise,s approximately 20 per cent of the volume of the air in a cold storage room. The charact- eristic flavour of orange juice is lost in a few hours at room temperature because of this action. Fro- zen orange juice does not lose its flavour so qiiiek- ly but it does so none the less certainly. Sliced apples or peaches.,exposed to air at room temperature soon turn dark ; this action is also one of oxi- dation. Hulled strawberries soon attain an overripe flavour when exposed to the action of the oxygen of the air. Unhlanohed vegetables lose their natural flavours and develop “alfalfa hay” flavours during cold storage for relatively short periods of time. Asparagus and snap beans are easily oxidized. Fruits’lose their bright colour and turn dull and then dark; similarly,, vegetables, particularly asparagus and; green beans, lose their brilliant green colour and become a drafi oliye—Federal Cold Stor- age News Letter. -0

SOYA BEAN MEAL AS FERTILIZER

, A regulation under the Dominion Fertilizers Act has been established which requires a minimum of 6 percent of available nitrogen and not m'oro than 6 per cent of oil in the meal sold for fertilizer purposes. This guarantees to buyers that the meal has ên prooperly proees.sed, and indicates that it should give efficient results when used as a nitrogen fertilizer.

Soya bean meal has for many years been used a.s a nitrogenn fertilizer in eastern countries, parti- ’ oularly Japan and China. While it has been offici-j ally recognized only recently as a fertilizer in Can- ada, Chinese gardeners in British Columbia have, during the last few years, used as fertilizer hundreds of tons of soya bean meal imported from eastern sources, principally Manchuria.

In recent years soya bean production in On- tario has made considerable progress and two factories have been established, one at Milton and one at Chatham, for the manufacture of the meal. As a result there is now a supply of domestic soya bean meal in Ontario, which is even higher in quality than Asiatic meal for feeding and fertilizer purposes. o

During the last financial year 11,974,588 pounds of seed purported to be for seeding purposes were admitted into Canada.

ed under the importation regulations of the Seeds Act.

Mince Pies Prehibited in Days of the Puritans THE milice Die lias had [uan.y eu

emies. The Puritans would tiave none" oi

It, and even in the Ei^liteentb cen tury it was a torlnddeii delicacy to a large number oi clergymen. Durinj; the Commonwealth the -holding ot Christmas festivals was forbidden.

In 1644 parliament passed an act ordering ail citizens to observe Christ mas day as a solemn fast, to be spent in silent atonement for previous fes tivais that had passed in riotous llv ing and merry making. This ordei remained in force, for 12 years.

'The authorities in several towns trie<] to reduce Christmas daj to the levei of other days. In Canterbury, by order of the mayor, it was proclaimed that “Christmas day and all other superstitious festivals should be put down.”

People who attended service in the cathedral were mobbed. The Inhab itants formed thetnselves into two parties, and Ceeling In the matter frequently resulted in the exchange of blows.

In U>52 it was proclaimed that “no observation shall be had of the bVe and twentieth daj ot December, com monly called Christmas day, nor any solemnity used or exercised in churches.”

This ordei was enforced by soldiers. Oven«î and larders were searched, and where seasonable dainties i»r decora tions were found they were carried off and destroyed. A changed attitude towards the Puritan dislike of Christ mas festivities came with the restora tion of King Charles.

Ghostly Christmas Bells to Greet Merry Yuletide AMONGST the belts which will ring

First Christmas Trees i Originated in Germany ON THE wild, sandy neatliland of the North (îerman plain rlie dark-

leafed fir frees have nourished for many centuries. It is not strange, therefore, that the “Christmas Tree’,’ should have its origin there. It dates back prior to the days ol Chrisiian- ity. The early Egyptians used to employ decorated trees in their festive season celebrations. It is a fact wel: known by all botanists that the palm tree puts forth a shoot each month, and at the time of the winter solstice, a spray of palm, bearing twelve shoots, was ehiph>yed in the temple of Osiris to mark the completion of the year. Curiously enough, England did not adopt Christmas trees until the middle of the last century. The, prince consort, shortly after his marriage to Queen Victoria, introduced them Into Great Britain.

One Sad Thing About Christmas

The saddest thing ahoni (Uiristmas is that the good feilowstdp the day in spires too often withers with the Yule tree and is tossed out of doors.

Clivistmas EssentiaHy the Day of the Child

DE(:E,MH1-:K me 2rv.l1 is Uie Day of the Cliild.

It is upon this day of days that countless men and women ami little ones narel.N al»le to^spimk their lan guage utter the great re.)oicing: For unto us a ('hild is horn, unto us û Son is given!

Even those svho hold creeds in whicli mere is no ('hristmas feel, the si)leiHl«u ol rhat <*ry. and those who have no fonnal creed at all, still know there is one ot the M6ô fiortions of the year which is essentially the Day ot «M'V <,’hild

It is the day when even the most un.«entimenral adult, tong since con-' gealed uiui hardened by the years, can hear in his tiearl the foot.steps of the little ones. Today they are running abolit so eagerly all over th.- world pattering to see wliat good gifts may have lieen received, ardent wiili a hope that only young hearts can feel.

On this day the austere scientist who lias almost ejuit believing in the very laws ot asfromany which recently seemed so sure and stable, but wliicti now seem dissolving in a mist of relativity—this careful profession- al skejitic becomes a.s a child himjself, and considers it hard indeed if he cannot tielieve in ï")anta Clans, beard- ed fairy godfather ot liie cliildren.

On this day even rttose wlio have been the most careless feel like say- ing over reverently that beautiful prayer for wisdom in the rearing ol children :

“Almighty God. hèavenly Father, who hast blessed us witli the joy and care of children; (îive us light and strength so to train them, rhat they may love whatsoever things are true and pure and lovely and of ,good report.”

For on this Day of the (3hild we all remember rhat rh^ most precious gift we can Jiestow upon our children is a capacity for feeling just such tender and generous and hel{)ful emotions as today stir in the breasts of all good men and women.—Seattle Post-Intel- ligencer.

Wreaths, Garlands Gay Shout ‘‘Merry Christmas!” WHAT a joy it is to come into a

home scented with spicy pine and hemlock, so suggestive of Yule- tide that each room ftiirly shouts “Merry Christinas!” And what a real pleasure, loo, to gather the greens and dispose them so that they express all the kindliness of the b!e.ssed season, intensifying the de-, lights of the “friendliest” period of- the year!

As garlands, the various types of greens may decorate window’s and doors, or they may be massed on mantels or tables.

To make a flexible rope of green- ery, supply a foundation of heavy twine and to this attach the short .sprays of pine, hemlock or spruce, in terspersed regularly with clusters of laurel; or for a more decorative effect use the artificial berries with the greens. Fine flexible wire is best for fastening the sprays in place.

Another use for greens is in the formation of ,window wreaths. Ar range the small sprays on a heavy wire foundation, taking care to keep the wreath symmetrical. Small groups of red berries, regularly placed, give character to such a dec oration. ^

St Undrew’s Cliurcli, Avon- more, larks IH Anniversary

The eongregatioi^ of St Andrew’s Presbyteria.i Church, Avonmore, ? de- brated tho 4ird anniversary of the present edifice on Sunday, N )v. 26th. There was a large attendance at both services whicli were in ehargj of the pastor, Eev. J. D. MacKenzie. Dr' Scott MacKenzie, Principal of Theolo- gical College, Montreal, preached burh sermons. The choir rendered >pcdal music.

In connection with the anniversary of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church an old time Scotch concert on St. An- drew’s night was held in the I.O.O.F. Hall, Rev. J. D. MacKenzie, minister of the church, presided over the large gathering and carried the concert through with the usual prompt ness and despatch.

The concert consisted of the following interesting numbers: Openin.g chorus by thé choir, Scots Wha Hao Wi Wallace bled”, Pipers Peter Mac- Innis of Dunvegan and Howard Gillivr^ of M^llo Roches, both members of the Glengarry Highland Pipe Band^ Gaelic song^ Mr. Norman McIn- nis,assisted by Mr. Mai. McLennan;' Scotch medley on the piano, Miss V, Macintosh; vocal solo by Mrs. E. M. Miller, “Mary of Argyle”; vocal duet the Misses Pearl and Iva Shaver, “Flow gently sweet Afton”;^ violin solos by Mr. Miles A_ MacMillan and Mr. Allan MeBain accompanied by Mrs. Penard, Massena; Scotch songs by Mr. W. J. Grant, M!oose Creek; Gaelic duet by Mr. Norman Meinnis and Mr. Allan McBain; vocal diiet by Ethel MacEwen and Lyell Shaver, “Annie Laurie”; recitation, “A spray of Scotch Heather” by Miss V. Macin- tosh; violin duet Messrs. Miles Mac- Millan and Allan MacBain.

Rev. Malcolm A, Campbell, Mont- real, gave a splendid lecture on the theme, “Scotland’s Patron Saint” which was listened to by the large, audience with rapt- attention. The pro- longed applause which followed test!-

, fied to tha jiopularity and power of all Dr. Camplell’s public utterances. The happy evening’s entertainment closed by all -who had âkeii part as- sembling on the stage and leading the large audience in singing, “Auld Lang Syne” and the National An^ them.

The Ladies Aid Society under the direction of Mrs. A. H. MacMillan president, served a bountiful lunch to all who took part in the programme.

Visilino On Sunday (Kingsville Reporter)

Glancing over the local and county correspondence of the many exchanges that oome to our desk frorri week to week, one cannot help noticing the increase of Sunday visiting. In some cases the numbers who visit at-a home

will run as high as 10 and 12. The old-

time Sabbath as a day of worship, rest

and quiet is rapidl.v becoming a holiday and day for general visiting. W.© do not believe tho change is conducive to good citizenship, or to the moral welfare of the country as whole. Cer- tainly where there is so much Sunday visiting, there is less church-going, and where any community becomes lax in its attendance upon some place of worship on the Sabbath, that community is slipping. Another injustice which the habitual visitors overlook is the extra work thrust upon the friends wliom they are visiting, depriving them also of their accustomed attendance at church. And this is no light matter. The housewife' who prepares Sunday meals for her own family and from four to twelve extra persons has no easy task, and is ill-prepared to re- sume the daily round of duties on Monday. She may endure the extra work without complaining but deep down in .her herat she f-eels that a quiet Sunday would give her an op- portunity for a few hour’s rest at least' one day in seven.

Inauguration Day

The Continental congress, on Sep- tember 13, 1788, selected the first Wednesday in the following March as the "day on which proceedings under the federal Constitution should begin. On that day, which happened to be March 4, the terms of congressmen and executives began. As the terms of these officers were set for two, four and six years, it follows that they al-i ways begin and expire on, March 4.

I'he period between election and inauguration was made as great as it is because of the time required for communication and travel in those days between such distant states as New Hampshire and Georgia and the capital.

by an incident of which the details are claimed to be perfectly authentic.

On the night of November 25, 1770. the second Lord Lyttleton dreamed that a bird flew into his room, changed to a woman, and bade him prepare for death within three days.

He told the dream to his family at breakfast next morning, but made light. of It, being to all appearances in excel- lent health.

He joked about it again just before going to bod. a fewîninutes before midnight on the third day.

While he was undressing he suddenly fell dead.—London Times.

Of Interest to Women A DEPRESSION PARTY NOVEL CULINARY HINTS

The following suggestions for entertaining friends at a depression party may be helpful:

Send out invitations on wrapping paper, such as comes from the grocer or butcher. Invite guests to come in their oldest, most depressing clothes. Set the table with a “hole-y” table cloth and old nicked and chipped china and glassware. Or you can use paper or oilcloth tablecloths and tin plates and cups. For centerpiece use a bunch of celery, or a “mixed bouquet” of vegetables encircled with parsley. Put candles on shiny individual pie pans or stand them them in old pop bottles. Use old candles of various colors.

For the menu serve corned beef hash or baked beans and brown bread with cole slaw ; or a combination macaroni dish; cake and coffee. o

HOW TO CARVE HOLIDAY FOWL

Add some figs in place of raisins occasionally when cakes, desserts or breads are being made. The variation of flavor is pleasing. •••••*

Prune mousse is a good suggestion for inexpensive and popular desserts. Whip cream, fold in orange juice, prune pulp and sugar to sweeten slightly. Pour into trays and freeze.

•••••• Lots of hot apple sauce provides a meat ac-

companiment at minimum cost and it’s especially appreciated at holiday time when foods are inclined to be rich.

Add rind of orange to many of your desserts if a little extra tang is wanted. A decoration for the desserts, candied peel is colorful and of good flavor. i «•••••

Simple suggestions for carving the turkey are apropriate now and a study of these brief rules will give confidence when the perfectly roasted,^ fowl appears at the 'table on a large platter with a minimum of garnishes and a sharp knife. Insert the fork firmly in the tn-ea.st of the turkey with handle straight up and tines straddling the breast bone. Grasp the fork firmly with the left hand, thumb side up.

CHRISTMAS CANDIES

Candy seems to be about as much a part of Christmase as Santa Claus himself; or the Christ- mas tree and hanging up of the stockings. Chil- dren want it and expect it and how much safer and better for them if the candy is home-made and pure. 1 Not only the children enjoy the candy, but it is a real treat for the grown-ups too. What would make a niecer Christmas gift than a plateful, or a box, or basket of one’s very ' own home-made candies? There is enough variety in the following recipes to give interest and color to any assortment and if a few of the pieces are wrapped in tin- foil and some hard, small bought candies sprinkled among the pieces, there is more color interests and

' the candy is made to look very feîve and Christ- masy.

These are my favoroite recipes for home-made candies :

Whipped Cream Chocolate Three cups white sugar, 1 1-2 cups cream, 1-4

i teaspoon cream of tartar, 2 squares (about) of bitter chocolate ,2 teaspoons ,q)araffin, 1 teaspoon vanilla.

Put sugar, cream, and a pinch of salt over fire. Stir until sugar is dissolved' but not after ' boiling begins. Add th eéream of tartar when mixture starts, to boil. Do not stir at any time while boiling, but with a damp cloth wrapped around fork, wipe the granules off that collect on the sides of the pan. Cook until soft ball stage. Pour on plat-

.“"''tef but do not scrape out pan or get any sugar granules in nthe mixture. Flavor. When cool, beat until thick and white. When one cannot beat the mixture any longer with fork, knead with the hands till very soft and creamy. Then with the hands dusted with powdered' sugar, form into balls the desired size. Put in cool place and let stand (over night preferably) till a crust or coating is formed on the creams. Then melt the chocolate and paraffin in a rather deep bowl. Dip the creams, one at a time, with a fork into the chocolate mixture and placemen waxed paper to cool. A half nut

j meat placed on top of each piece adds to'the flavor and appearance.

' Fondant Pour cups sugar, 1 1-2 cups cold water, 1-1

teaspoon cream of tartar. The method for cooking this is the same as in

the foregoing recipe. After it has been kneaded until soft and creamy, the mixture should be put away in a boivL covered with a damp cloth and left for several days before forming into different shapes and colors. Letting it stand seems to “ripen” this candy. After it has stood, the mixture may be devided into several parts and colored any desired colors. Formed into patties and a nut, meat placed in the center makes attractive candies, chopped nuts or fruits may bo added right in the mixture. A candied cherry, or. any candied fruit, placed in the center of each piece is attractive. If one is using different colors, several colors may be spread out in layers and then rolled up and sliced off similar to cinnamon rolls. This fondant also makes delicious filling for stuffed dates, the datese then being rolled in chopped nuts, powdered sugar, or shredded cocoanut.

Divinity or Sea Foam .M 2 1-3 cups white sugar 1-2 cup corn syrup, 1-2 -^p boiling water (white)

; Mix well before heating. Boil until the mixture “hairs” Take half a mixture and add to beaten whites of 2 eggs, to which a pinch of cream of tartar and salt have been added. Boil up rest of syrup till quite thick. Add to mixture, also some chopped nut meats and spread on oiled platter to cool.

Penuche Three cups brown sugar, 1 cup cream, 1 table-

spoon butter , salt, flavoring, nut meats. Combine and stir over fire until sugar melts.

BoU until soft ball stage. Cool and beat until creamy—MARIAN MANLEY-BRANDT.

0 HAM COOKS IN BED OF GREENS

Greens make a base for ham casserole particularly good as a fill-in during the Christmas leftover days. Place aternate layers of cooked greens (mustard. baby kale. spinach or broceoli) in a baking pan and add chopped ham mixed with bread-crumbs, add a bit of ground or finely minced onion, a dash of horse- radish, tomato, ahd another layer of greens. Strip the top with bacon and cook. Just before serving sprinkle the top with cheese andn allow to melt.

0 CARROT AND CABBAGE SALAD

One package lemon-flavored gelatin, 1 pint warm water> 2 tablespoons vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 cup raw carrots, grated; 1 cup raw cabbage, finely shredded.

Dissolve gelatin in warm water. Add vinegar and salt. Chill. 'When .slightly thickened, fold in carrots and cabbage. Turn into individual molds. Chill until firm. Unmold on crisp lettuce. Garnish with mayonnaise. Serves 6.—M.S. o

APPLESAUCE CAKE KEEPS

Applesauce dake is easy to make, especially by the new method, and produces a long keeping, moist and comparatively inexpensive cake that children love. 'With a caramel icing, this cake is ideal for birthdays.

Applesauce Cake Half cup shortening, 1 cup sugar, 2 eggs, 1

teaspoon cinnamon, 1-2 cup nuts, 1 cup applesauce, 2 cups flour, 1 cup chopped raisins. 1-2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoon soda in applesauce.

Arrange orange sections on meringue; sprinkle v,dth coco- nut. o

CHOCOLATE CRESTED CUSTARD PIE Pie crust: 3 eggs, slightly beaten, 1-4'teaspoon

sqlt, 1-2 cup sugar, 3 cups milk, scalded, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 square unsweetened chociolaê, melted, 2 tablespoons hot water, 2 tablespoons sugar.

About Old Santa Claus, Children’s Patron Saint

'T'liK (liciionar> merel> tells yt*o that Santa <--laii# Is a contraction

of Saint Niclmlas (seti NIcliolas, Saint) A turning of the pages reveals tliai Nicholas was bishop of Myra or Smyr na in Asia Minor about HOO A. D. Hv was the patron saint of old Uussla and was believed to offer special proi.ee Lion and comfort to “sea-faring men. thieves, virgins and children.” tils af fection for children was based on the assertion that he brought back to lift three schoolboys who had been murdered. An encyclopedia attributes the name by which he is known in America to the early Dutch settlers who called him San Nicolaas.

But it little matters whether he be known as Saint Nicholas. Santa riaus, Kris Kringle, or a dozen other names, for the presence of his spirit on r.liis dimax holiday of the year Is the im portant thing. It enters every home in the four comers of Christendom and touches the hearts of ail the men, and Women in them. Moreover, it Is essentially the spirit of childhood, the freshness, the courage, and the eager ness of young lives. Saint Nicholas may seem old, but he has none of the fears, regrets or prejudices of age. He and his children stand’ on the threshold of the world. Their banner is good will and their goal is peace.

So this day, dedicated to the mem ory of the birth of a child, belongs to all children. It is their <*arols, their laughter, their happiness which makes it sweet. And we older folk should on this day at least share their kindliness, their tolerance, their purity and their Saint Nicholas.—The Boston Herald

'Phey range from a walrus ivory relief from Cologne to a modern wooficut by Kri< Gill. It is strange to see how the ar- tistic wheel has turrred full circle hack to the medieval austerity.

But 1 can’t help liking the first I’hristmas card, which “features.” as the films say, a hearty meal. As the fat boy would say, “7 likes eating best.”

“Christmas Man," Name. Given to Kris Kringle

O ANTA CLAUS does nol visit the ^ children of Lithuania on Christ mas eve as he does the children in this country, but there are all kinds of ('hristinas celebrations ID which they have a part, and many good things to eat. In Germany and Nor way old Kris Kringle hides gifts for the children in many out of tl»e way places, and Christmas day is spent chiefly tn hunting for them, in Hoi land Saint Nicholas dispensed Christ- mas cheer, but when the Hollanders catne to this country his name was changed to Santa Claus. In Sweden Santa Claus is much like he is in America, but he does not come down the/chlmney, but in the night he comes into the room where the Christmas tree is and leaves gifts for all. His name Is not Santa Claus, however, for he is called “The Christmas Man.”

It is not clear from tlie Scriptunil allusions that the shepherds who visit ed the new-born desus were the same as the wise men who saw his star in the East. Only Matthew rei-ords the story of the magi, and only Luke nn-n lions the shepherds. Mark and .lohn do not refer to either the shephenls or the wise men. ..

Health Service of the Can. Med. Asso.

FORTUNATE PEOPLE '‘ Wihat A iucky person! ’ ^ exclaims the

thoughtless iiidividual. Good health is not a matter of chance or luck. Good health is the reward for proper living. It is just as important to display the same inteUigence in health matters as is devoted to business and other af- :îrs of life.

The woman who dies of cancer is not unlucky. She has been either ignorant of, or has disregarded' the early signs of the disease. The woman who has recovered from cancer went to her doctor as soon as she noticed a lump in her breast or some irregularity in her periods. Call her lucky if you like, but it was really the fact that sfie paid paid attention- to what she knew that saved her life.

The chil<j who died from diphtheria was unlucky because he was the child of parents who were ignorant or careless, with the result that he did not receive the injections of toxoid that would have protected him against the germs of diphtheria.

Fortunate is the child who is born to 8. mother who recognizes the importance of breast feeding and who knows that vaccination against smallpox and immunization against d&phtehria are practical means ofi safeguarding the child. Fortunate is the child whose parents realize that chil^ care is a difficult task^ for which training is required.

Good teeth are the product of a proper diet and care. No amount of luck will give strong, sound teeth to the child who does not receive in, his diet the minerals and vitamins required to build healthy teeth. This proper diet requires some understanding, of food values and calls, for planning on the part of the mother; it cannot be secured by chance.

A healthy chihld is a well-trained child. A healthy mind and body are the reward for good training. Health calls for a certain amount of self dis cipline which is reasonably easy for the adùlt who secured a proper stare in life through good training.

We are not all born with, the same- degree of intelligence or the same physical capacities but what becomes of us is not a question of good luck -or of bad luck; it depends upon hov7 well trained we are as children, and how, as adults, we make use of ouv training to take care of ourselves in order that wo may enjoy physical and mental health.

Questions concerning He^th, addressed to the Canadian Medical Ass> ciation^ 184 Golliege Street, Toronto, will be answered personally by letter. 0

For Now is The Time of Christmas

Iiet no man come into this hall Groom, page, nor yet marshall But that some sport he bring withal For now is the time of Christmas. If he say he cannot sing Some other sport then let him bring That it may please at this festing. For now is the time of Christmas. If that he say he naught can do Then for my love ask him no mo' But to the stocks then let him go. For now is the time of Christmas. Make we merry, both more and luss, For now is the time of Christmas.

- - Oid English Verse,

Cliristmas Giving (By Isa Grindlay Jackson)

Now tell me do you think it wise Exchanging bales of merchandise, And thinking thus to celebrate Our very sweetest, dearest date? True ftriends would never take it hard To be remembered with a card. Besides, with such don't we partake Of cheer and merriment and make The season one of toast and song?

Then why tag surplus gifts along? There are so many folks, you know. Who have no jolly place to go. And while most homes on Christmas

Day Enjoy the universal ray Of happiness that wanders round, So many people can be found To whom the Christmas morning

brings No bundles of surprising things.

They cannot give so do nont get, A matter surely for regret. And lots of little girls and boys Have never, yet had brand-new toys. And so this Christmas I suggest We find such folks aud do our best Their modest wishes to supply, And thus in giving humbly try To honor—we forget, I fear I— The greatest birthday'of the year.

TOO FEW business firms employ advertising to lessen their costs of sel'ling.

Business enterprise today has t'wo major problems : I. To increase sales. 2. To lessen the cost of selling. Yet so many omit the use of advertising, despite their readiness to agree to the proposition that “advertising lessens the cost of selling.”

We’re frankly amazed at the avoidance of advertising in the face of the knowledge that it costs less to sell with the assistance of advertising than without it. >

Strange, strange—this human tendencj' to go contrary to what knowledge and experience have taught us is right !

To lessen your cost of selling, we commend to yon an adequate campaign of regular advertising in

A Merry Christmas to the News and its thousands of readers.

Miss Freda McEwen daughter of Mr. and Mrs; Pan G. McEwen, St. Elmo, was rushed to the Cornwall General Hospital, on Sunday night where she underwent a successful operation for appendicitis. PHILIP GUINDON'S HOME BURNED

-^During Friday’s storm, the residence of Philip Guindon, near the Imperial Oil Co’s supply tankSj was discovered to be on fire, the blaze evidently started from an overheated stoyepipe.

^When first discovered the flames had made such a headway that it was seen that- the building was dormed. Most of the furniture from the down- stairs was saved as well a« a quantity o.f firewood in a shed adjoining the house. The firemen prevented the spread of the blaze to any of the near- by buildings.

There was a smalf insurance carried on the*building which was the pro- perty of J. D* Villeneuve.

HOCKEY SCHEDULE At a meeting hel^. at Chesterville,

HOCKEY TOURNAMENT The most provident son of Scotia

would have no legitimate excuse for complaining as regards the quanitty 01 quality of the returns made for the investing of a bawbee at the hockey tournament held in Jubilee Rink on Monday evening. The attendance was most encouraging while the brand of hockey furnished was of the quality that encourages patronage.

Russell team failed to put in an appearance but- their place was taken by the ‘Millionaires who were strengthen-

•’ed by several outside additions. The youngsters certainly made a most cre- ditable showing.

In the first game Maxville Blue Jackets got a 1—0 decision over Ber- wick, Paul Pilon accounting for the lone counter,

Berwick—Goal, Fyke^ Defence, Har- per and Helmer; centre, B. butt; wings, Casselman and Macintosh; subs. C. Dutt and MaePherson.

Blue Jackets—^Goal, Carther; defence, Hoople and M. Pilon; centre, L. Coleman; wings MacCallun» and P. Pilon; subs Currier, J. H. MacDonald, Alex. MacDonald, St. Louis, Leduc, Graham and Lalonde,

The second game found the Cana- dians of Cornwall, facing the Million- aires, the former winning 5—3. Goal- getters for Canadians were Cameron 2, Eeckstead, Menard and Chatelaine 1 each; McIntosh^ Harper and Dutt scored for the Millionanires. Î

The play-off between the Blue Jack-j ets' and the Canadians was a hum-1 dinger, iand had the fans on their toes till the final bell rang. At the call of time the score was 1—1, Pilon doing the needful for the Blue Jackets and Marotte for the Canadians.

In the overtime period the tie remained unbroken, both teams scor- ing one each, Graham for the Blue Jackets and Cameron foi\ the Cana- dians—final score 2—2.

David Lônde of Alexandria, was referee for the three games.

On Thursday evening the Blue Jack- ets will be hosts to the Chesterville septet, here when they open the C.O. V.H.L. schedule.

, ^ SAD FATALITY Seldom, if ever^ has this community

been ^ profoundly shocked as it was

on Sunday evening, when about 7.30 o’clock Mrs. J. Archie Ross was in- stantly killed at the Main St. crossing of the C.N.R,

Mrs. Ross and her son Archie, who teaches school at St. Elmo East, left their house on Main St. north, to at- tt^nd the evening service in St. An- drew’s Presbyterian Cburoh. Wbe-i passing the post office Archie stopped to post some letters in the outside mail box, his mother continuing ahead. As there was a sleet storm from the oast she carried an umbrella to Pro- tect herself ffrom the storm. This evidently prevented her from seeing a through freight whkh was approach- ing from the east. She stepped directly in front of it as it reached the crossing, her body being terribly mangled.

The train crew knew nothing of the accident until they reached Moose Creek, where they were advised by wire of the fatality. Upon investiga- tion they found Mrs. Ross'? - hymn be ok on the pilot of the engine.

Rev. Dr. MacLeod pastor of St. Andrew’s Church, upon being advised of the tragic occurrence, shortly after the opening exercise, cancelled the service.

Dr. J. M. Pollock, coroner of Avon- more, upon being given the details gave authority to have the body removed, it being conveyed to McLean’s undertaking parlor, where the funeral service was held on Monday afternoon During the hour of service, every business place ’in town was closed as a token of resjieet to the memory of one v/bo was much beloved by all classes in the community.

Rev. Dr. MacLeod, who conducted the service, was assisted by Rev. W. B. MacCallum of St. Elmo, In his address Dr. MacLeod spoke very feelingly in reference t© the great loss the community had sustained and to th^ sincere sympathy felt for those who were

60 suddenly and sorely bereaved. Interment was made in Maxville

cemetery. Messrs. Alfred Daniels A. D. Stew-

art, Fred Campbell, "W. G. Leaver John Nicholson and Neil D. Sinclair were pallbearers. The two latter represent- ed S.S. No. 4 where Mr. Arch. Ross teaches. , ' '

Mrs. Ross, whose maiden name w\as Elizabeth Young Beadger, .was in her 55th year. She was born in Renton, Vale of Leven, Dumbartonshire, Scotland. Thirty-five -yearts ago ' she became the bride of Mr. Ross the marriage taking place in Galahead, Scotland. In November, 1920, they came to Canada, and spent about a year and a half in Montreal, coming to Maxville twelve years ago, when Mr Ross took over the bakery business of the late Geo. Stiles, and where the deceased soon became much respected through her 'church and social aetivi-

There were two divisions in the oratorical contest, a third and a fourth

DRIVES HIMSELF TO' WORK AT S2

AND STILL PLAYS A LITTLE GOLF How many of us^ when we are 82,

w’ill be the equal in health and activi- ty of this vigorous old Scottish engineer? In a letter he says:

“I arrved here from Scotland on the 7th April, 1870. I am over 82 years old. I drive my Ford car 40 miles over hills and dales 'to a factory, and can still play a little golf. I have taken the little dose of Kruschen Salts in my cup of coffee every morning for some years, and I beliefe it is keeping me in good health and enabling me to keep on working at the factories^ as engineer,”—L. A.

Whether you ar© still in your ’teens or past your prime, it is neither too early nor too late to start on the “little daily dose.” Just a tiny, tasteless pinch of Kruschen Salts in your morning cup of tea or coffee! They ensure internal cleanliness, and keep the blood-tstream pure. New and refreshed blood is sent coursing to every fibre of your being. Rheumatism, headaches, indigestion and backaches, all pass you by.

Grizzle Bears The other day a trapper whose field

of operations is not - far from Bella Bella, British Columbia, came out second-best in an encountner with a grizzly bear, although he used his gue. and the bear retaliated only with her strong right arm. Such encounters are not common. In the Winnipeg Evening Tribune. C. A. Hayden, writing from Perry Creek, B.C.^ relates an intev- view he had with Dan McDonald, of dranbrook, -who has a reputation as a bear fighter because of some of hh experiences with Bruin.

“Listen ,that stuff about grizzlies being meat eaters and about them killing horses because they have a yen for horse fl^h is all bûnk,^' said “Grizzly Dan’’ McDonald, of Cran- brook, B.C., who holds the world’s re cord fop'the number of grizzlies killed. Dan’s word was not ^‘bunk” and it was strongly qualified or rather em- phasized.

“Grizzlies .are not natural meat eaters Mind you, they’ll kill when an- noyed and it does not take much to annoy them, but they certainly are harmless if -not bothered and certainly they do not go on the rampage after horses or cattle. I know this for a fact for I’ve watched them an^ studied them at close range and under all sorts of conditions for years—the brown grizzlies of the States, tliç silver tips of the Canadian Rockies and the kadiaks of Alaska. Son, they’re real kind and tame and^ believe it or not, they are friendly to man if man does not get them all hot and bothered.

Live on Roots ^‘Say you would hardly believe it.

but they get their growth and their sViength and their size and their sx^ced in action and their general all-round dynamite frpm liftle roots they grub out of the ground. That’s not quite right eithery What they dig rp is bulbs— the bulbs mainly of the mountain lily, whiel' is plentiful hereabouts It’s, something like an artichoke. (This was probably a long harking back to the county of Dan’s birth. Glengarry Ontario.) Then the grizzly likes tno mountain onion an<x other roots and byll)s he finds. He goes through a patch like a big plough.

^‘In season he likes his berries and for all his teeth and his big jaws, it’s amazing how he can snaffle the bei* ries off the bushes.

‘Ît always get me how he can grow so big aiid strong on this kind of grub but he does and that’s that. Me, I like my bacon and beans to build up my strength. Still if I thought berries and bulbs would make me huskj- like the grizzly, I dunno—.

“Yes, the grizzly does dig out and kill and somptimes eats the whistler (‘the mountain marmot’). I can’t tell for sure whether he makes a hab'it of eating them. jl think he tears them to pieces more than eats them. But sure he kills them.

“There it is again. Mind what I told about “not bothering a grizzly. Well that whistle of the marmot bo tbers him—makes him mad and then it is just too bad for the marmot. And the marmot never seems to learn not to be noisy at the wrong time.

“Lots of human beings are like that,^^ musej “Grizzly Dap,” and his silent, listening partner. àêorge Thomas, nodded agreement.

They '*get along well together^ this pair.

“Clawed by a grizzly? Yes sirree. Look at those scars on my forehead,” added Dan as the conversation was revived. “And yet I don’t know for sure

whether it was the bear’s claws or a branch that he knocked off a tree when attacking me tha cut me open. Things happened too fast. I can laugh at it now but blieve me I didn’t laugh when the explosion came.

‘ ‘ I was out hunting for grizzlies in 1927 on Tanglefoot Creek, off Bull River when this happened, I kind of sensed there was one around but couldn’t see anything. I stepped over a log wûth my head in the air and I stepped right on a 200-pound cub.

Mother Bear in a Rage “One grab and he tore the pants

clean off me. Left nothing below the belt and took plenty of hide and meat with the pants. We kinda* tangled, both of us trying to break loose. He let a hell of a yell out of him and so did I and as I rolled clear—I was moving fast—here .was the big mother grizzly coming at me from twenty feet away and travelling like a runaway engine with death an^ des- truction written all over her.

“I pumped five bullets into he'- breast ,all heavy .35’s, before she stopped almost on top of me. Your hand would have covered those five bullet holes and it was lucky for me I was hitting plumb centre or I would not be here tonight.

“That old bear and the cub were hollering so loud, I could not hear the report of my rifle. I did not realize how much row there was till later, much/later, too.

“\\hien the old bear toppled she wai3 almost wGhin reach and even as

she passed out of the picture she tried to get me.

“The cub w'as still yelping and trying to climb over the log. I shot it.. I had to, and then I fell unconscious. I was ’out for two hours and when T came to I found I was as bloody as the big bear, and for the life of me I can’t remember bow I got the wallop across the head I know how I lost my pants all right but not how I got nicked up here,” touching the scars.

■ ‘ ‘ That was a dandy pelt, ’ ’ said Dan. “I wouldn’t sell it for any money, but I gave it to Corporal Wil- son, of the Mounted ' Police, now sta- tioned at Edmonton. I knew he would take good care of it and as a matter of fact I wanted to get a good grizzly skin To' h:m. I got it and a lot of experience.

“That wa.s the only grizzly that ever tried to fight me, ’ ’ said Dan, thus dispelling another illusion about the innate and persistent hatred of grizzlies for human beings.

Two Locomotives That Made Civil War History

The old wood-burning locomotive known as the “General” has long been on display at Chattanooga. The equally famüu^î “Texas” is housed at At- lanta. In Civil war times some enterprising Union spies stole the “Gen- eral” wljite it stood with steam up on a siding near Big Shanty, Ga. The Confederate engine crew were having breakfast at a tavern near at hand. By handcar and afoot they followed up the track until they found and commandeered ttie old freight engine, “Texas,” and then the real chase started.

Box cars on fire were rolled down grade on the siugle track line by the fleeing fédérais. Heavy rains were falling, but they managed to set fire to a bridge at Chlckamauga over which the “Texa«” scooted just before it crashed. At last the Unionists set the “General” in reverse and sent it speeding southward while they took to the woods. The southerners re- versed the “Texas” just in time to avoid a collision, and then managed to capture these enterprising spies.

Manna Found No Favor With Wanderer in Asia

Iraq is not all plain and marsh ; there are forests in the north, which yield even the “divine” food of the Hebrews in, the wilderness. For the first time, in Bagdad recently, I saw manna (sap of the European flower- ing ash), and I did not hanker for a fraction of an omer of it. A look, a taste—and the mercy of Jehovah !

It is exhibited in burlap, a blackish mass, hard and insipid. Even made into a candy, plentifully powdered with sugar and iiacked in wooden boxes, it is no more than acceptable: “Turkish delight” makes it bitter with envy.

When the Bedouin Arab tasted first the crude product and then the candy, he said : “My boot, if cooked with sugar, will be toothsome.” He preferred pickled locusts.—Ameen llihani in Asia.

Revised Motto

In the olden days imperial Spain inscribed on her coins a picture of the pillars of Hercules, which stood on either side of the straits of Gibraltar.

These mighty rocks marked the western . boundary of the empire of Spain. Beyond these rolled the mighty, unexplored ocean. On the scroll over the picture of the pillars of Hercules they inscribed the ,words Ne Plus Ultra—nothing beyond. Aft- er Columbus, the man of mighty faith, discovered America. Spain struck out the negative, leaving the inscription, Plus Ultra, “more beyond.” For every earnest soul there is always more beyond. Strike out the negative and make Plus Ultra your motto.—Mont-, real Family Herald.

The Firefly’s Light The light produced by the firefly is

believed to be caused by the oxidization of gases in a series of air cells located on the abdomen of the insect and not, as originally believed, the result of the presence of phosphorus. There are many |types, including the beetle in the United States, known as the lightening bug. In tropical countries, the insects arq much larger and their light much more brilliant. ■

The glow worm of Europe is a species of lightning bug of which the female has no wings. Because of this, the female and the larvae, while still possessed of,the mysterious,power of light, are usually termed glow worms. i

Trunceon Only Weapon

A wooden ti;uacheon, or siaiX, made of cocus wood, 15 inches long, with n leather strap to secure it to the wrist, is the traditional weapon' of the metropolitan police of London. Ilevolveiis are kept‘only at the stations, to be issued in special cases where there is reason to believe that encounters with armed criminals are likely to occur. Mounted police have longer truncheons. The metropolitan police orders provide that truncheons are to br used only in extreme cases, and when ever used by a constable must be sub- mitted to the station oflicer for subse- quent inspection.

lighted candles has resulted in pain ful burns, and even death to those participating in the Yuletide festivi ties. “Santa Claus” has been the vic- rim In Innumerable cases.

Tiny electric lights now are most used in lighting the Christmas tree, and that reduces Uie fli*e danger ma terlally. If candles are'to be used in the decoration—and' they undoubtedly lend an effect not to be obtained b.y the electric lights—they should be placed on the mantel and in other secure locations where contact with their pretty blazes Is not likely to he made.

In Christmas sports involving the slightest danger, children should be directed in their play by an older per son who Is competent to effect n res cue^ If necessary.—Charles Frederick Wadsworth.

White hyacinths to feed the soul

!

- - ' ■ ( / ■

One of the largest stores in the country, published

a most unusual advertisement. “Buy something you

don’t need,” it read. And there is a sound and worthy

philosophy beneath that seemingly cold and calloused

plea ... a philosophy that has endured for centuries.

-'“If I had two loaves,” wrote the Persian poet, Sadi

of Shiraz, “I would sell one, and buy white hyacinths, to

feed my soul.” And throughout all history, mçn have

sold their loaves to buy white hyacinths.

We would modify the exhortation of the stra-e. Buy

something you could do without, but something you very

much want. . . . The things you’ve been promising

yoxu-self. .

Values were never so great, for the amount expend-

ed, as now. You have only to turn to the advertise

ments in this newspaper to be convinced. Here is'writ

ten a story too important for you to miss. And very

often you will find you may keep both loaves . . I and ir

An|us L. McLaughlin Dies At Livingston, Mont.

(Continued from page one) end manager of the Livingston Build- ing & Manufacturing company which at that time handled many large and important contracts tfhrougiliout the state.

In 1912 he entered into partnership with D. Joseph O’Neil, under the firm name of McLaughlin & O’Neil. This pioved to be one of the strongeist coni binations of its kind in the state. Tie concern entered into contracts over Montana some ^ of its projects including the Big limber garage, the vato- workg extension at Laurel, sidewalk

and sewer distri'dt improvements at Columbus, completion of the sewer district in Livingston, the Livingston Wa- ter Works and many business blocks and scores of Livingston homes. The firm erected the Elks’ Temple and the Lehrkind block in Livingston and con- structed many roads and bridges throughout the state.

This partnership was absolved about three years ago and the McLaughlin Construction company was formed, with Air. McLaughlin as president. Mr. M-«Laughlin had been active in the work of the company since that time, until his illness forced him to remain at home.

On October 4, 1890^ Air, McLaughlin was married to Jeanette McRae, Glengarry County, the daughter of John and Flora McRae, Her father was a railroad contractor. To Air. and Mrs AicLaughlin there have been born five children, all leys, four of whom are still living. George, of Olympia, Wash, who is expected to come to Livingston within a short time; James, who died overseas while serving his country during the orld war, but whoise body was returned to Livingston and was buried here; Jehn L., of Great Falls, w’ho is also in the construction business and is here at the present time; Ernest of Livingston who i? secretary of the McLaughlin Con- struction company , and Lachlan, who iu employed by the company.

Mr. McLaughlin also leaves two brothers, besides Mrs. McLaughlin, to mourn his death^ Dan, who was formerly a roadmaster for the Northern Pacific here, of Olympia, Washington, who is ill at the present time and will be unable to come to the city for tho services, and James, of Winnipeg, with the traffic department of the Canadian Pacific railroad.

Mr. McLaughlin also had two brothers who preceded him in death, John and Ernest.

Air. McLaughlin had been active in community and civic work until recently, when his death forced him to retire. He was an active member of the Knights of Columbuè, a member of the Elks’ lodge and a member o® the Royal Highlanders.

Mr. McLaughlin had a host of friends in Livingston and in Mon- tana who will mourn his death. His cheerful outlook on life and his general business associations with the many people throughout the state made him loved and respecte^ by all ^^ho knew him.

Funeral services for Angus L. Mc- Laughlin were held from St. Mary’s Churchy Friday mornning at 9:00 o’clock. Rev. Fr. Sheehy said requiem high mass.

Pallbearera were Dan Healy, Ed- ward Garrahan, George* Weber, Ed- ward Sybert, Frank Beley and John Collins.

Honorary pallbearers were: Eev. Fr. Joseph Blaere. William Weber, D. J C’Neil, A. A. Armstrong, Joe Brooks, J, E. Swindlehurst, Sr., Robert Woods of Denver, Ernest Shelley, Dan Ross, Abe Strickland Sam D. Goza of Hel- ena, Arnold Huppert, J. J White of Bozeman, Henry Jondrow^ F. J. Trent- man, William Hennessey of Conrad, Fred Stannard of Butte, Don H. Jaco- bus of Helena. H. J. Miller and J. C Vilas.

Music was furnished by St. Mary’s choir and interment was made in th-s Calvary cemetery.

An appropriate tribute paid to th<! life and work of Angus McLaughlin by Eev, Fr, l’homas Sheehy, pastor of St. Mary’s church, in the isermon de- ilyered at the funeral services Fridav morning, re-echoed the thoughts that were iu the minds of those who filled the church to capacity to pay their res- pects to ths memory of a man who for more than forty years has been one of the city’s outstanding citizens. , One virtue possessed by Angus Mc- Laughlin that carried him over many vicissitudes of life, was in his never- failing seu"T of humor. Of course he was a serious-minded man, for it takes one of a serious turn of min^j to make the success in life he made, but Angus AicLaughlin appreciated those who were cheerful for he radiated good cheer almost constantly.

From over the Treasure state came n-.eissages of conndolence to the stricken family. As Father Sheehy stated Fri- aay morning^ he had -come to be more than a prominent Livingston figure. It is difficult to make today any half-day journey over Mon- tana and not pass over some piece of highway or some surfacing job that was not his work. He was a devoted family man and his next thought was given to the religious and civic in stitutions with which he was affiliat- ed His life was an ideal program of living to bring happiness and comfort to one whose very nature was that of aggressive progress. •

One of his pioneer friends com minted Friday on the fact that a surprising number of those who were in Livingston forty-two years ago have pasised to the Great Beyond. This is true. Time moves steadily onward and death, of course, robs the community of sterling characters as ever and anon the messenger of death reihisos to be denied.

Alen of the Angus McLaughlin type are sorely missed as theee sterling pioneers one by one answer the call aud pass from their field -of usefuln-ess and from life. They have, however, written a record, just as the Angus McLaughlin record is written, and these permanent records of theif good deeds will live on and on to inspire those who follow ,witli the worthwhileness of BO living.

These men leave a great legacy in their memory for those who must be compelled to carry on. While unbound ed sympathy goes to the bereaved fsmily, the fact remains that much comfort will be their lot during tho coming years as they daily recall the successful and happiness-giving life he lived.

Peace On Earth (Continued from page 1)

them beyond the sloughs of desponden- cy. With the song of promise of good- will we can give to the lonely some touch of that which makes the flame of hope spring up within them. Unless we do they will struggle with the foes of the broken derelicts and know no peace. A human touch, a kind word, a visit or an invitation will give it 1o them,

The season b|rings bai& memories of those who are not. The Christmas season finds many who are sad. Bosoms heave with sobs when they cry for ths touch of the vanished hand and the sound of that voice that is still. As the years of the wild savagery which robbed so many of their sons, while the common duties of life still and stifle the pains of loss when we sit and listen to the carols of joy the ache of bereavement shows that the wound has not been healed. Even when we go to the altar of worship there press upon the questions which raise a tumult of doubt, for when we see human beings for whom there seems no useful place and who are not seldom a perpetual charge upon respectable society ,the cry is raised as to the wisdom oâ Almighty God in taking so many good away and leaving those which seem of no value. What avenues of the spirit of Christmas are opened up for those who will but try to calm hearts in sorrow by such gentle, tender suggestions as will turn the minds of men and women to that eternal light which broke through the clouds of gloom, hanging over a worl^ of d*espair. The song of the angels is ^ promise as well as a challenge. It has^ no settled programme. It appears a wild impossibility that ever there eoulâ be such a peace on -earth as would beat swords into plough shares^ to say nothing of that deeper peace which be- lieves that God is love. But the slow marching years have shown us much, Monsters which fattened on human blood.^ are at least catalogued as the arch enemies of mankind. As we again turn our eyes to the stars we are led to choose the one which guides to the manager bed where lies him who trod this earth and before he left it did bring among other blessings the life and immortality of his gospel, and who promised tp those standing at the por- tal of their saddest day a peace which none other could bestow. ,

So, thig day, to the chidren, the lonely and the sad we can say in His great name,

Pax Vobiscum. G. WATT SMITH.

womau'êt'e the room with them.

Dully, Ruth continued the packing. She would try again after Ann wafi off the ranch and on the main road. Eut Ruth felt certain that Ann would it, and stood with her left hand on d<- exactly .as Snavely had ord.ered. . The voice, then, was not his only hold or- Ann; there was a bigger thing.

In a short time the packing was fin- ished and ihe buokboard loaded. Rîth looke about for David; he was not in sight, nor did he answer her call. She suddenly realized that she had not seen hin since returning ftrom the mail box. \Oidinarily, she would have beén only disturbed—the snakes were gonêj^hiâ time of year.

Then Ruth’s heart stopped: a few feet from the board fence around the old well lay a box. It lay as though it had been placed on end against the fence; in imagination, Ruth' saw her son standing on tiptoe, leaning over the fence, hitching himself farther ever to see better, losing his balance, the box falling away as his feet left itc top. With a-cry of anguish she ran to the box, stood it up, and mounting, loaned over the fence—“David!” The name rang hollowly and died away. “Da-vid—” With a moan, Ruth slipped ft-om the box. . . The next in- etarit, it (seemed to h<Vr, Ann was helping her to her feet.

“Ann! Ropes! bring ropes quick-” Ruth struglcd to free herself from the yiantess’ arms. “Let me go! Oh, God. don’t let David be in there—”

“Now wa.Hi Miss Ruth—wait—you ,doan know ho fell in, does you?

“No—no—but wheire else is _ Inhere else—’’ Ruth was dizzy; she

xuught to keep her senses. “Ann—” Ann left h-er and ram into the house.

Ruth climbed upon the box again, but (She could not look down.

The giantess lifted her from the box. “You stand down, I’ll look with this—you couldn’t see nothing with no lantern on a rope.”

Ann held a mirror in her hands.. She caught the light,of the sun an . turned it into the well. Ruth saw her smile \broadly. “There. I done tol’ you he varn’t down there!” !

Snatching the mirror Ifrom the ground where the giantess had dropped it, she clirribed upon the b<pc just as the lower limb of the sun. tiouched the western mountain range. 7j?he light from the mirror struck Idownward; wavered, and came to rest oln the cloth hangingn from a nail part I way down

ceased to upbraid Ann, and the boots thumped across the porch. “By GoJ I’ll show her who’s—”

As quickly as she could move Ruth flung open ihe door and stepped out. the revolver/ fully cocked, pointing at Suavely’s breast. He sotpped and his hands went up. Ruth quietly closed the door behind her.

“Ann!’’ Ruth’s voice was sharp, me- tallic. “Gq into the living room.”

She.waited until she heard Ann’s Uootsteps. ‘!:‘Nf*w yon march in!”

Snavely turned without a word and walked before her.

Sit down—you too, Ann.” The girl I noddek toward the chairs by the table.

The hugft woman and the pale-eyed man seated themsclveis. Snavely gradually lowered his arms.

“I’ve gbt nothing against you, Ann —far froii it. ][3ut if you won’t help me you’ll have to go with this mur derer. ’ ’

“.AVilia-^wh ait’s that—” Snavely gasped aild his eyes stared wildly.

Ruth spoke to Ann, without turning her hca(J: “Ann, will you help me now? Tills nian murdered Harry Grey, his partner. You must help me tie him so that can take him to the authorities. . j . A\'ell? Arc you on my side or his?’[

“Ann’a face was à study. Dor a moment slfe regarded Snavely then Ruth. No onoj spoke.

“Well, Ann!” “’Fore Gavv’d, Miss Ruth—I doan

All right, Ann, think it over.” Ruth Stepped close to the man in the chair. Her voice was clear and sharp. ‘You;raurdercr! ”

Snavely shrunk back in his chair. “Sly it!” commanded Ruth. “—tell

Ann vhat you are!” Sngi-oly’s lips moved silently. “li)uder!” she cried thrusting the

“Don’t move! Now tell Us why you did it.” Ruth stood, right foot forward, her smooth young face sot rigid- ly. “Begin!’'’

“I—I shot Mm.” ‘’Why?’» “Because T hated him!” “Why?” “r don’t know—he come here. He

bought his interest from the man who owned it an’he come here. He wanted tc be pardners—i signed. I couldn’t help it—damn him! ’ ’

“What did he do to you?” “I don’t know—let me be, can’t

you? He come here an» I wasn’t by mjse’f no more—I couldn’t git him TO go.” \

“You didn’t have to murder him!” “I hated him, I tell you! He done

what all people do—hated him like I hate all the rest. I got to be by my se’f. I been alone since I was born. Every man I ever knowed tried to git somethin’ off me. Every storekeepe»* tried to cheat me. Every rancher tried to fence off part of my land—every time I got a good thing somebody tried to get it away for his own se’f. That’s all humans do! Their whol^ lives is just spent trying to get something somebody else has got!”

“Well?” demanded Ruth,

“Wîen I come here there was twenty thousand acres of this ranch an’ the house in the middle of it. I couldn’t sec no fence whichever a-way I looked. I bought this ranch. I could stay here. I had my lurses an’ I had enough cattle to keep me busy an’ to feed me, I bought this ranch fair an’squair. Then a man comes with a paper an’ says ho owns three-quarters of it. But he didn’t wajit to stay here—he didn’t want nothin’ but money. So he wont away an’ I scraped enough together each sellin’ time an» sent it to' him. That was all right. Then your brother bought that man out an’ come here. He come to stay. Ho aimed to improve the ranch. Goed God a’mighty!

“I am. going to take you over the mountains,” said Ruth evebily. “Stand up!’’

Snavely, slowly rose and Ruth backed away. At .that moment his eyes looked past her shoulder an^ his he^d nodded ever so slightly. Before Ruth could, move great strong arms were holdincr her in a vise, a big hand took posses- sion of the gun, Ann’s voice muttered close to her eat, “I’se sorry.”

“Give -me that gun!” Snavely dart ed toward Ann as the giantess releas- ed the girl. Ann backed away shaking her head. Snavely stopped.

Ann spoke spoke. swiftly to Ruth. “Git yo’re little boy and ride away quick—hurry. Miss Ruth, ’fore he makes me giVe him the gun.”

‘Ann,help me—you have the gun, help me to lake him over to Thanes’ place,” begged Ruth.

The giantess roared at her. “My Gawd, git away like I tol’ you!”

Neither Snavely nor Ann moved until the sounds of Ruth’s horse and David’s questioning voice had died away.

Suavely,, white with rage, spok-» scathingly. “Now give me that gun you black—!”

The gun in Ann’s hand wavered un- certainly. “Jes’ a minute,” she fal- tered.

“Give it heie!’» Ann cringed, turned the revolver

butt forward and held it out. Snavely snatched the weapon, and

raised the muzzle to Ann’s face. Then he paused, and lowered the gun. “Git my horses, duir.n you! They’ll com- back—the Tharois’ll come an’ git me! They’ll coop me up! Hurry along—git Buck an’ thiow a pack saddle on him. Run, damn your black hide!”

Ann fan out of the house. Suavely hurried into the kitchen and began feverishly filling a gunny sack with provisions. Five minutes ‘ater his out- fit was piled by the kitchen door; three sacks, Ir's bed roll, a frying pan, and, leaning against the house, a 30-30. rifle in a saddle sheath with four ear- tons of cartridges beside the butt.

Ann was coming from the barn, leading the buckskin horse with a pack saddle on his back.

Life Saving Efforts

Fighting for the lives of men, women and children, is a never ceasing struggle at the Muskoka, the Toronto and the Queen Mary Hospitals, where nearly a thousand patients are now being treated for tuberculosi^.

Perhaps you do not fully realize the predicament of the unfortunate victims of this dreaded disease, the majority of whom came from the families of the very posr.

Living In cramped quarters, where sunshine and fresh air are often as scanty as nourishing food, is it any wonder that consumption finds them out.

Frail and weak and tired, their plight is pitiful, but a haven awaits, •where, with your help, most of them may be restored to health.

Will you please send what you can to assist in this great work. Please address George A. Reid, Treasurer, 223 College Street, Toronto 2.

Conditions That Aflect Human Eye Injuriously

Too long hours of continuous use of the e.vGS should be avoided by a rest at intervals, if only for a few minutes, at which time the.v can be benefited by being bathed with ordinary cold water from the faucet. Dr. Sol Rosenblatt ex- plains in “Eye Hygiene and Heat,” an article appearing in Hygeia, the Health Magazine.

It is the heat that is generated over a long period by excessive use of the eyes that causes the eyes to become tired. Heat affects the eyes in numerous ways, Doctor Rosenblatt explained. The heat generated by excessive use of the eyes over lon.g hours, added to the ordinary body heat; the heat of fever repeated over a period of j’ears; the heat of brilliant sunlight or too in- tehse artificial light, and the heat of furnaces over a period of time are detrimental to the function of the eye.

Nature provides a safeguard in a manner somewhat similar to that of the water-cooled motor. Transparent fluids are circulated within the eye, and the anterior surface of the eye is bathed with fluid coming down from the tear gland above the eye. The peculiar special function of the eye requires transparency, and excessive heat de- stroys that quality: the loss of transparency is fatal to the function of that special organ, even though its form and strength are fully regained.

Mosque of Omar Visitors to .Jerusalem never fail to

make the Dome of the Rock or the mosque of Omar one of the fii'St things to see. It is sometimes considered to be the finest building in Asia, if not In the world. It is octagonal in form, each side being 60'/^ feet wi(ê and composed of richly colored marble and tile, witli a dome of beautiful propor- tions. In part it is the work of the Moslems before the Crusaders, but the Crusaders enlarged it. and Snlieman the Magnificent completed it in l.'Ol. When you have seen its interior, sa.vs a confirmed globetrotter, the mosaics, the rich rugs given by a past sultan, the Sixteenth-century stain-glass windows and all the architectural effects and groupings, you realize why it is so praised. It is the chief landmark of the city.

Governmental Departments

Four of the governmental departments are older than the government under the Constitution. These are Departments of Foreign Affairs, Treas- ury, War and Post Ottic(^ They were re-established by the first congress under the Constitution, changing the Department of Foreign Affairs to De- partment of State. The office of at- torney general was also estal)lished in 1780 and 1870 the name was changed to Department of Justice. The De- partment of the Navy was established in 1780; Department ctf the Interior,. 1849; Department of Agriculture, 1889; Department of Commerce (and Labor), 1903 ; Department of I.abor, 1913.

Atom’s Subdivision

The neutron is a subdivision of tlv atom whose existence was annonneed recently by Dr, Jaines Charwick of Cambridge, England. It represents the tir.st step in the evolution of matter from the elementary electricity. The atom is regarded as made up of elec- trons and protons, held together by at traction between negative and positive electrical charges. The neutron is a combination of a single electron and a single proton, their electrical charges neutralized by their union. The neutron itself carries no electrical charge

Drawing Interest A smart young man entered a crowd-

‘‘d rramcar, and. sitting down, became aware of a general focussing of eyes mward a smartly-dressed girl’s shoe, ■le saw a £1 note protruding from her hoe. Calling her attention to the fact,

he said, “Do you not think, miss, that •hat £1 note would be better in a hank, creating a little interest?”

Smiling, she replied, “Do you not lunk, sir, that it is creating quite a

:;reat deal of interest where it is?”— Corder Cities Star.

Possible to Retrieve Letter From the Mail

If, in a moment of artificial bravado or x>enslve dream, you should mail a letter which, come morning, you are sorry you mailed, there is a regulation way of getting it back. I am told that an average of two letters a day are thus recalled in Manhattan and the Bronx, says a writer in the New York Morning Telegraph.

By the Monroe doctrine, or something like that, one's letter belongs tb one until the sender gets it in his hands. That’s a post office rule.

Here, then, is what you do. Re-address a second envelope, a duplicate of the first, and rush to room^ 224 at the central post office. This is the office of the assistant postmaster. Give the man your facsimile envelope and ask for form 1.509. Fill it in. It asks nothing more personal than your name, we understand.

The post office promptly gets in touch with the substation of the district to which your letter has been sent and with the carrier who natural- ly would deliver it.

You then go home and wait for no- tification that the letter has been recalled, whereupon you go down and claim it. Letters to distant points arc wired or even cabled for, and the sender must pay for this, but for letters within the city there is no charge.

I thought you’d like to know.

Hotliers Rattier Like Somethiny Personal

I JUST wanted to say Merry Cheist- mas, a^d thanks for the check, Mr. Breen.”

Mr. Joseph Breen paused in sign ing a letter and smiled back at the freckled grin.

“Merry Christmas to you, Jim,” he answered “and you’re most welcome to the check. Are you going out to— or—blow it all in, or perhaps give it to your mother for a holiday present?”

“Neither.” The excitement of the moment made the lad forget^ that an office boy was conversing quite free ly witht the president of the company.

“Mothers ain’t so stuck on cheeks,” h« ccjitinue-d, “they like something more pe.’sonal, lomethiiig that shows you really thought about ’em. ’ ’

“So? the president’s eyebrows went up in question.

‘And what,” he inquired, “did you select that was personal?”

*‘The swellest sca|r;f”—Jim was warming up enthusiastically—‘ ‘ all blue and gold and fringe on it, long as my hand.”.

“It must be a beauty,’ ’agreed Mr. Breen.

“Yes, but that ain’t all, Mr. Breen My mother said she hoped some folks would sing corals outside our house tonight ’cause she loved ’em,

“And what do think? A whole crowd of us are going to sing carols for her. Oh boy, won’t she '' like that?”

The lad moved towards the door. Perhaps j'ou’re going to sing carols

for your mother tonight too.” “I—I hadn’t thought- of it before,”

confessed Mr. Breen, ‘ ‘ but perhaps I will Jim.”

His mother was just like any other mother. How she woulj l>ke to have carols sung in front, of tho little white house on the hill.

Mr. Breèn reached for his phone. “A train leaving at two, you say? Thank you. I can make It easily.”

Outside, his car waited, with Jenkins at the wheel.

“Hello Jenkins,” he greeted, “I’ve just got an.hour and a half

to do some last-minute shopping. Then I’ll catch the train for home.

“Take a holiday for a week, Jen- kins, do you get me?”

“Yes, sir,” gasped Jenkins^ “I gee you.”

And up in the white house on the hill little Mrs. Breen put the golden coffee and brown muMins on the snowy table.

“Supper’s ready, Joe,” she called. The old man. came slowly, a frown

cn his ruddy face. “Now, Joe,” the women soothed,

“don’t you, go and let anything spoil ycur Christmas spirit.”

“I know it, Myra.” He patted the wrinklcdhand. “But when I saw Seth Holden’s boy and Daley’s girl come home for the holiday, I ust couldn’t help feeling a little bitter.

^‘Our boy hasn’t spent a Christmas with us for five years. Why, we haven’t even seen him for two.”

“I know, Joe but he-never forgets a check, and such a generous one. Remember, Joe our boy is a busy man.

‘^Now, Joe,” as he started to speak, I have the most wonderful evening planned. We arc^too old to believe in Santa Claus, bnt we are never too ol-d to believe in angels.

“The young folks most likely will come singing carols, and I hope they will sing the one I lave best:

‘While shepherds watched their flocks by night.

All seated on the ground. The Angel of the Lord came down And glory shone around.’

An^ so the carolers^ peeking into the windows, saw them sitting hand in hand. ,

Then suddenl.v, clear on the evening air canic the sound of many voices one deep, rich tone, apart from all the others.

The little old lady’s eyes were like stars.

“He’s come, Jye,” she whispered, tremulously, “thati’s liis vcicc. ”

Then Lae d opened niul two

strong arms held them fast

“Glacl to see me, deai folks?” cried

a beloved voice.

“Son,” said the old man, solemnly,

“I think the angel of the Lord must!

have brought you.”

“Of course,” exulted little Mrs.

Breen, “for just see the glory shining

around.”

Secret of Face Powder Known to Greek Ladies

For many years archeologists have been searching for “psyinithion.” They have uncovered the ruins of ancient cities, and excavated tombs full of gold and other treasures, all in vain. No- where did the.v find so much of a thim- bleful of “psymithion.”

Aristophanes, Pliny and other writ- ers referred to this substance,, and from their writings it appeared that it must be some kind of cosmetic. And this plainly appeared from an old Hel- lenic poem warning the reader “never by the use of ])symithion can you make a Helen out of a Hecuba.” But this merely excited the curiosity of the archeologists and caused tliem to dig deeper into the earth, and at last they found what they were looking for.

Prof. T. Leslie Shear of Princeton university, while excavating the tomb of a Corinthian lady, found a terra- cotta box containing “psymithion,” which the lady, before she entered the tomb, used in powdering her face. Analysis showed that it was a carbo- nate of lead manufactured along the same lines as white face\ powder that modern ladies use.

Tins shows that thç ladies of ancient Corinth did not have shiny noses, and indicates they were just as skillful in makeup as those of the present gen- eration. Helen.s use “psymithi’on” as freely as the Ilecubas.
