At a largely attended meeting of the Men’s Club of St. James’ Angli­ can Church held in the parish hall last Wednesday evening. Donald Mackenzie, .Chemist for National Fertilizers Limited of Ingersoll, gave a very educational talk on problems in the growing of tobacco. The talk was illustrated with motion pictures, a number of which were in natural Jt^ar. ' Che pictures were taken in the to­ bacco district of Oxford, Norfolk and Elgin Counties and were most interesting to the large gathering. Mr. Mackenzie touched upon the growing of crops and the use that is being made with fertilizers to re­ plenish the soil with necessary plant foods that are sapped out of the ground by the different crops. He emphasized the fact that pasture crops are just as hard on the soil as grain crops, and that live-stock and poultry require minerals that only occur in crops produced on properly balanced soils. The club president, Fred H. Adams waa in charge of the meeting and the thanks of the gathering were ex­ pressed to the speaker by Fred G. Rich. The lantern was ably operated by R. A. Stone. A number of visit­ ors from Woodstock were in attend­ ance at the meeting. Jack Firth presided at the piano for community singing and during the evening it was announced that the December meeting would take the form of a concert and social evening, followed byv dancing. It was decided to hold a supper for the club members in January. Refresh­ ments were served at the close of the meeting.

VEALEProprietor and EditorPHONES — Tribune Office, 13 - Residence, 442AMember ofThe Canadian Weekly Newspapers’ AssociationTHURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10th, 1938Who Were The Canadian Soldiers? We cannot forget the slaughtering of 60,000 of our young Canadians in the Great War nor the maiming of an additional 173,000. It does not make us hate other nations for they, too, lost heavily in man power, but it does force us to realise that men can oe made to hate each other. But when the cosmopolitan nature of Canada’s war dead is considered, we know that different races, creeds, and tongues can live as brothers. Canada is a land of many racial origins. The Census Branch of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics gives 23 racial origins in Canada. The largest group u British, then French, German, Scandinavian and Uk­ rainian follow in order. When the war broke out, these various races rallied to the flag of their adopted land. There were 156,000 English-born, 47,000 Scots, 36,000 Americans, 19,000 Irish, 5,000 Welsh and 3,000 Newfoundlanders. The enlistment in Canada of 1,200 Australians, 1,100 from British India, and 3,000 others from British South Africa, New Zeal­ and, British Guiana, Tasmania, Fiji, Hong Kong, Isle of Man, Malta, the Falkland Islands and Aden, was rather remarkable. Among the recruits were men from most of the islands of the West Indies and others from seventy-<five outlying spots in British Africa, along with 350 natives of South American countries, ■who claimed British ancestry. In addition to the Empire-born and the American- born, there, we re 23,000 natives of continental Eur­ ope in the Canadian Army. There were over 7,000 Russian-born and close to 6,000 Scandinavians, 2,000 from Austria-Hungary, 2,000 from Italy, 1,500 na­ tives of France, 1,300 Belgians, 400 Roumanians, 400 Greeks and 260 Servians. Most remarkable of all was the line-up of 245 natives of Germany. Eight of the German-born and eight of the Austrian-born were officers. Every country in Europe was represented in the Canadian army*. There were over one hundred Turks. TherdOwere 700 Asiatics, 280 being natives of Japan and over one hundred natives of China. There were some from Arabia, Bhutan, Cochin-China, Siam, Siberia, Manchuria, India, Ceylon, Afghanistan, Persia and Straits Settlements. There were thirty- two Africans. Such was the cosmopolitan nature of the Canadian -. Army during the Great War. To-morrow, Nov. 11th, is Armistice Day and it recalls these things to us. Youth Hostels There are thousands and thousands of people in this Dominion who have hiked, but it has been mainly in the outlook for work. Somehow or other this is not a country of walkers or hikers for pleasure. We build highways for cars but leave the pedestrian out of account, and a walk along a country road is robbed of much of its pleasure in dodging automobiles. Despite the handicaps, however, hikers and cyclists appear to be increasing in numbers—so much so that the movement for youth hostels is on the way. New impetus is being given to hiking in Canada by a movement known as the Youth Hostels Association, already registered in a number of countries. The aim of youth hostels is everywhere the same—-to en­ able young people to enjoy hiking and cycling in the beautiful outdoors of Europe and North America; to enable youth to find wholesome companionship along the road, travelling inexpensively, and acquiring a knowledge of their neighbor’s land and customs as well as their own. One of the codes of the hikers is that they pledge themselves to leave the countryside unmarred as a result of thei^travel in it. The yeuth hostels idea began in Europe in 1911, as the practical dream of a German schoolmaster. Since its inceptioq^'outh in millions upon the open roads of Europe have 'advanced youth hostelling from a national to,an international influence. In 1930 hostels were'''opened in England; in 1933 one opened in Canada, and in 1934 the movement spread to the United States. Today there are thousands of hostels in forty different countries with several mil­ lions of members. As youth hostels concern them­ selves not at all with the religious or political beliefs, or social positions of members, the movement more and more is lessening racial distinctions. So far Canada has but a dozen or more hostels and , a scant hundred members. The first youth hostel in Canada was opened in the foothills of Alberta and a total of twelve now forms a chain from the E. 1’. Ranch to the town of Banff in Banff National Park. Ii» 1937 Canada was the twentieth country to be ad­ mitted to the International Youth Hostels Associa­ tion, and extensive organization work is now being carried on to extend the movement from the Mari­ times to British Columbia. . as any of earlier days have been developed and pulto human use.J'hose who know about such matters tell us thatthere are literally thousands of new inventions, al­ready patented, in the hands of industry ready to bedeveloped and marketed as soon as the owners ofcapital feel safe in embarking upon new ventures.Thousands of technically-trained men and womenare working in great industrial laboratories on stillmore inventions to make life easier and richer foreverybody.It is foolish to oppose the march of inventionmerely because someone makes a lot of money out of R. The man or institution who finds a way to sim­ plify living, to make it more comfortable or beauti­ ful is entitled to the greatest reward that society is able to give him. November's Birthstone The mellow, yellow light of an autumn afternoon and the golden brown of the danqing leaves are held imprisoned in the topaz, November’s birthstone. A legend told by Pliny suggests that the name topaz came from the name "topazein,” meaning “to seek’’, because the first locality in which it was found was an island, Topazas in the Red Sea, which was often surrounded by fog and difficult for sailors to find. Contrary to the general idea, topaz is usually color­ less or very pale in shade. Yellow hues of different degrees, from pale to a bright sherry tint, are com­ mon as are pale blue and pale green stones. The brownish-yellow stones from Brazil are altered to a lovely rose-pink by heating. The red, green, rose, pink, and violet topaz are very rare when found m their natural color.The Braganza, a stone of 1,680 carats, was once listed as the largest of the famous diamonds of the world but the fact now accepted is that it is not a dia­ mond at all but a topaz. A colorless stone can be cut and polished in such a way as to make it look like a diamond, especially at night. These colorless gems are- known sometimes as "Slaves Diamonds. ’ The topaz has a rare velvety body appearance which fascinates its admirers, and its widerange of pale colors offers a charming selection of birthstones to those bom in November. When highly polished, it has a slippery feeling and when rubbed has the ability—like amber—to pick up pieces of paper. These qualities assist in determining the gen­ uineness of the gem. Brazil is the principal source of topaz while yellow and colorless stones are found in Ceylon. Fine blue stones come from Russia and California. Some of the less important sources are Scotland, Ireland, Africa, Australia, Japan and Mexico. Our imports of precious stones increased over 312,000 last year, according to the External Trade Branch of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Insurance For Peace There is no guaranty of permanent peace so long as great nations continue to threaten the security of others. Though the Munich conference between England, France, Italy and Germany seemed to assure that no general European war will break out in the near future, the attitude of the dictatorial governments toward the democracies is such that no free nation can regard itself as forever free from aggression. For*that reason, in the present unsettled state of the world, the wise course for a country to pursue is to build up its defenses, especially the Navy and the air forces, while there is still time to do so. There is no doubt whatever, in the minds of stu­ dents of worid affairs, that the dictator-ridden nations both envy and hate other countries. That is evident from the frequent official statements in the govern­ ment-controlled press of Germany, of Russia and of Japan. Once let those nations get rid of their dem­ ocratic neighbors, it is more than likely they would try to win a foothold on this continent. Now more than ever the old maxim "In time of peace prepare for war" is something to take seriously. TODAY andTOMORROWby Frank Barker Stockbridge Our World of Inventions The history of North America has been the history of inventions. Canada and • the United States were launched just-as the steam engine had been invented. That was the beginning of the Age of Power and of what economists refer to as the Industrial Revolution. In an enormous new country, the small population along, the Atlantic Coast had to find means to con­ quer the wilderness and develop the vast wealth of the land. No new nation ever grew so rapidly from pyv.erty' to riches, and it was the inventiveness and practical ingenirjgpt* of the -people which enabled the «pion<Ters to do the job. The cotton gin, 'the steamboat, the railroad, the 'telegraph, the telephone, the electric light, the auto­ mobile, the airplane and the radio are only a few of the inventions pf which their application to human needs has made these countries great. Hardly a year has passed without witnessing the introduction of someradically newjinvention of which the ultimate effect was to makef living easier and to provide more jobs for everybody. To imagine a world without typewriters, sewing machines, mpvies, harvesters, typesetting machines and a hundred other things’ which we now regard as commonplaces of everyday life would be difficult indeed. The process of invention is still going on. Within half a dozen yean new inventions as revolutionary T H E DO C TOR Telia The Story — by W. E. AUGHINBAUGH, M.D. FOREIGN BODIES I doubt if there has ever lived a* doctor, who at„ some time or other in his professional career, was not called upon to remove a foreign body from the interior of a human being. It is most common to have children of all ages re­ sort to the practice of inserting peas, beans, tacks, nails, pieces of stone, and dirt into their nostrils and ears or else swallowing them. Among girls, hundreds, when they wore their hqjr long, bit off the ends and swallowed them, in time to have the bits of hair form into a ball shaped mass in the stomach, which often required a surgical oper­ ation to remove. General Robert G. Dyrenforth carried a bullet ho received in a Civil War engagement in his body for. more than thirty years. He was wounded in- 'the chest, and I removed the bullet from the calf of hisleg. An elderly murderer, recently executed at Sing Sing, for years had been swallowing pins and needles. X-ray pictures showed a great many of these dress­ makers' accessories scattered about various portions of his anatomy and the strange thing was that none of them had in the least inconvenienced him during the twenty-five years he had been following this - practice. Such caSes are relatively common in medi­ cal history and seldom do they prove -fatal. About six months ago, a man walked into one of tho large New York hospitals and stated that while he was sleeping in a bed, at the head of which hung a pin cushion, he was aroused by a sharp pain in the anterior portion of the left side of his chest, and told the interne he believed a needle had stuck in his body. The pain increased materially in intensity and was aggravated by deep breathing. His heart sounds were obscured by a coarse, grating murmur. A diagnosis of needle in the heart was made and the X-ray pictures taken confirmed this. An oper­ ation exposing the heart was performed and a needle two'inches long was removed from that organ, the eye portion of the needle being visible to the operat­ ing surgeon. The needle had passed through the tip of the upper lobe of the lef lung and into the heart. The man survived the operation and seemed to be on the road to recovery, when he suddenly died. An autopsy showed that the neeclle had punctured the left ventricle of the heart. BICYCLES motorised1 saw a report recently that morebicycles are being sold and ridden inthis country than ever before. Itinterested me because I have seenthe bicycle develop from the old“high wheel”, but particularly be­ cause I have seen the two most im­ portant modern means of transpor­ tation come out of bicycle shops. The other day the man who built tiie first successful automobile died in Philadelphia. His name was Charles E. Duryea. As a boy 1 spent a high-school vacation working in a bicycle repair shop, under a bright young mechanic named Charlie Dur­ yea. He had the fool idea that he could rig a gas-engine to a tricyle and so cut out the hard work of cycling. He tinkered around the shop after hours and finally made a machine that ran. Out in Dayton, Ohio, two brothers named Wright had a bicycle repair shop. They dreamed of a flying machine, and the airplane came out of their repair shop. Another young chap whom I knew, named Glen Curtiss, had a bicycle shop in Ham­ mondsport, N. Y. He built the first motorcycle. Then he hooked a motor­ cycle engine to a balloon and made the first dirigible. Then he, too, got the airplane bug and made the first public flight in a plane of his own contriving. STAMPS .... profits If there is an old house anywhere in America in which the attic has not been thoroughly rummaged for valuable old postage-stamps, I can’t imagine where it is. /''Every little while I hear from one of my stamp-collector friends of the discovery of a valuable stamp. Not long ago one of them showed me a Hawaiian “Missionary" stamp, one of only three or four known to col­ lectors for which he had been off­ ered 35,000. He had got it from the granddaughter of a missionary, who found it among a package *of old letters which had been stored in a farmhouse attic for 75 years. ' There are two or three million people in America to whom stamp collecting Is a fascinating and profit­ able hobby. One of my friends, a country Methodist preacher, makes more every year trading in stamps than his congregation pays him in salary: Not long ago I read of the sale of a particular set of stamps for $30,000. It made me feel a bit sick for- I once owned that identical set and sold them, nearly fifty years ago, for a few dollars! RUSSIA ... autocracy All the news I read from Russia, and all the reports my friends bring back from that country, confirm me in the belief that it -will he hundreds of years, if ever, before Russia be­ comes a democracy. It is quite clear that the Russian government today is in the hands of a small group who are as arbitrary, as dictatorial and as absolute in their control over the lives and lib­ erties of the Russian people as even the most tyrannical of the Czars ever was. That is why I am puzzled by the friendliness for Russia and Russian ideas professed by many Americans who are sincerely devoted’ to the rights of the common man and be­ lieve in personal liberty. To a large number of intelligent young people, Russia is a symbol of democracy. To me it is a symbol of all that is worst in autocracy. Democracy is not something im­ posed from without. It is a system of self-government growing from the fierce desire of a people to manage their own lives and get along with the least possible regulation by streams to spawn. As a boy I usedto see them in the upper Potomac,above the first rapids. Indians usedto say that sturgeons could Jump upNiagara Falls. That was their wayof accounting for their presence inthe upper Great Lakes.Scientists,, believe, however, thatthe lake sturgeons are descendedfrom fish trapped by the great vol­canic upheaval that formed the falls.Some age-old instinct, howeverbring sturgeons from the sea every 5 ear up the St. Lawrence to the foot of Niagara, where I used to see In­ dians spearing them in the rapids below the falls, NAZIS .... outsmarted In fear-ridden Germany opponents of Hitler are faced with the almost unsunnountable task of disseminat­ ing information opposing Hitler’s plans. Ordinary literature and speeches such as we have in this land of liberty would result in the execu­ tion or imprisonment of all those concerned. But freedom will out. An ingenious enemy of Hitler inscribed anti-Nazi thoughts on a handful of coins and dropped one of the coins in each of the most strategic points in Berlin. Passersby immediately pick up the money—But upon see­ ing the sentiments on the coin, they drop it like the proverbial hot potato. “AS A WOMAN SEES IF — By Arabella — government F I S H .........................................habits The ways of fish are still very much of mystery to man. Nobody knows how the salmon find their way back from the sea to the same streams where they were hatched. When the Bonneville Dam across the Columbia River was projected a great protest weht *up from the sal­ mon canning ‘industry. The dam would keep the salmon from coming back to their old spawning beds, where they were caught by the can- ners. Nothing of the kind happened. A fish "stairway" was built alongside the dam, and more than half a mil­ lion salmon climbed its 1,200 feet in the first season. It is easier for the fish to take the short leaps of* the stairway than the 20-foot jumps they used to have to make in climb- bing the rapids. In tho spawning season watching the snlmon climb the stairs furnisher novel entertain­ ment for tourists. Sturgeons, like .ulmoii, are a mi­ grating fish which go up freshwater t e l e ph on e t a l ks in t u b va t so n f a mil t no Distant Relatives "WHEN THE WOODS SING” One wonders sometimes, why some books at the library have such a large circulation, while others do not Does the long list of dates at the back of the book indicate that it has had a great many readers; or that it lias been taken out and returned unread? Doubtless an attractive title makes a book appear more interest­ ing, and gains readers for it. But also a book need not be overlooked just because the title appears unim­ portant. The title of Trygve Gulbranssen’s book, “Beyond Sing the Woods," gives little indication of all the fine literature within. In it are some of the finest descriptions of nature that we have ever read; the mode of life on a large Norwegian farm is finely depicted, and it must be of special interest to many s Canadians in whose veins flows Scandinavian blood. The characters are what might be expected in a country where men have constantly to match their strength with that of the ele­ ments as well as of the beasts of the forest. They are people who live close to nature in its simplicity and its fierceness. But by that we would not convey the impression that the Norwegians are fierce people, nor too simple to make a contribu­ tion to life. In Dag, the author has drawn a character that is sure to impress—the owner of large tracts of land, the employer of many work­ ers and the possessor of great wealth. Dag is also master of himself and he rises to great heights by overcoming a human desire for power, and ex­ tending leniency to one who might have received revenge from anyone possessed of a smaller nature than Dag’s. This book and “The Wind from the Mountain”, by the same author, we heartily recommend. DANISH ARCHIVES An interesting pamphlet has tome to us from Denmark, sent by the curator of the Emigrant Archives. The object of the Archives is to col­ lect and tabulate information about Danish emigrants in all parts of the world. , Danish people have played an im- - portant part in opening up new ter­ ritories, for they possess qualities that are valuable under all condi­ tions, but especially so for pioneer­ ing. They have become prosperous citizens in many countries owing t<* the fact that their mental develop­ ment has not been one-sided. It is now the desire of their moth­ erland to record the accomplish­ ments of her sons and daughtersabroad, and the Emigrant Archives exists for that purpose. Any information that might be found in books, pictures historical works covering social, religious, lit­ erary, artistic, economic and indus­ trial activities of Danish people or their descendants, will be gratefully- received bylhe Archivist, at Emi­ grant Archives, Aalborg, Denmark. S. A. Friends Honor Miss Elsie Jordan About 60 friends of Miss Elsie Jordan gathered at the Salvation Army citadel on Friday evening and honored her in view of her approach­ ing marriage, at a delightfully- arranged miscellaneous shower. Tin many gifts were wheeled into the hall by two little children dressed as miniature bride -ind groom, and were then handed to the guest of honor. A social time was enjoyed with de­ licious refreshments being served. Not that the Watson family is so small.

MANHATTAN MERRY-GO-ROUND — By Albert Zugsmith — <■ - -- -------- There are tricks to every trade. And even thd lowly beggar with out­ stretched hand and plaintive plea has a few tricks up his sleeve. New York, perhaps more than any other city, has its quota of rich beggars. There’s the gentleman who is driven in his limousine by his chauffer to work every afternodki at five and called for at midnight. He is minus a leg, but owns three’ big apartment houses in the heart of Manhattan. Begging is supposed to have made him a fortune of close to a quarter of a million. In the new crop of beggars is the nice-looking young chap with care­ fully-brushed hair and neat but well- mended clothes who will stop you on Broadway, just below Times Square, with a tale something like this, "Par­ don me sir, but I’m not a bum. I’ve just had a run of hard luck that might happen to anyone. I’ve got a chance of a job in Philadelphia and I’m shy 32c to get there. I don’t want a penny more but that 32c will mean a new life to me. If you’ll give me your address I’ll mail it back to you out of my first week’s wages." All this has been delivered in a well-modulated voice and with an act that is bent on convincing you that but for the grace of God you might be in this unfortunate’s shoes. The "unfortunate" is believed to average r half dollar from two out of every four people who will listen to his tale. One out of every ten who lis­ ten will give him 32c or less. More give him a half dollar be­ cause they want to see the lad eat also or because they are too bashful to ask for or get change. People are pretty swell after all. But the petty grafter working this minor racket isn’t so swell. He makes on the average of $40 to $50 a week, has a little car and a girl friend whom he takes places at night Then there’s the blind beggar who is evidently a keen student of the workings of people’s minds. He is perpetually standing on street cor­ ners, waiting for some kind soul to take him across. Three times out of every ten that he is taken across the street, the person with the good heart also makes a donation to the biind beggar’s daughter and her col­ lege education. The beggar is oper­ ating on the.system that every other person in New York is lonely and feels that the world is against him. When si person of that sort takes himacross / the street they feel that they’rp a pretty good person after all, kind to beggars, and dogs and aU that sort of thing. A feeling of good fellowship pervades them, hence the tip. Beggars are employing showman­ ship in their business these days. The two blind boys tooting sax and picking banjo on Broadway have their counterpart in cities , and vil­ lages from coast-to-coast. For the wise beggar has found out that to get ahead of his competitor around the corner he must use Big Business methods in his occupation. But don’t get me wrong, pardner, every beggar in Manhattan isn’t wealthy or a petty racketeer. Many are in dire need and some are pretty fine people. Like “Legless Mike" who never fails to drop a dime in the cup of the blind beggar woman on Eighth avenqe. Show people, especially, are ex­ ceedingly generous to those who beg. It is said of William Fox that he never visited Atlantic City without giving the legless beggar near the Ritz a $50..note. I wonder how he would feel if he found out that that particular mendicant owned a mort­ gage on a house not far from there? Those in need, I believe, receive more from show folks in ratio to their earnings than any other pro­ fession. Many on the stage will not pass any upturned hat without drop­ ping a coin.

He further pointed out -that while this state of affairs continued, any cap­ ital expenditures for improvements and replacements would have to be paid out of the reserves. Mr. Start spoke of the efficiency and consistent co-operation of Mrs. Duff, Superintendent of the Hospital, and took occasion to thank Mr. J. L. Paterson, Solicitor to the Trust, as well as Mr. J. J.

A call for leadership in the Fed­ eral Government of Canada which he declared was sadly lacking at the present time was made at Woodstock Friday night last by Hon. Mitchell F. Hepburn, Premier of-Ontario, ad­ dressing a rally of the Oxford Coun­ ty 20th Century Clubs, in the Wood­ stock Armories. Between 700 and 800 persons, representing all parts *of Oxford, at­ tended the rally, which was also ad­ dressed briefly by Hon. P. M. De­ wan, Woodstock, Ontario minister of agriculture; A. S. Rennjp, Tillson- burg, M. P. for Oxford, and Dr. A. S. Duncan, .M.L.A. for London. Wil­ frid L. Bishop, of Norwich, acted as chairman, while Premier Hepburn was officially welcomed to Woodstock by Mayor R. G. Cldwes, “I am very optimistic with regard to Ontario,” said the premier in a lapid fire resume of the accomplish­ ments of his Government during the past three years, “but I am most pess­ imistic for the condition in which we find the affairs of the Dominion.” Turning to the Ottawa Field, Pre­ mier Hepburn said that there were three things which required imme­ diate attention of the Dominion Government, these being the railway problem, the interest problem and the defence problem. Of the first, he said merely that a condition existed which had to be remedied if Canada were to prosper, and that no leadership had been given in the matter. The interest question he said, was one that had been developing throughout the country in recent years, until today municipalities and the Federal Government were Iqaded down with a burden they would never be able to wipe out Pointing out that practically every country that had participated in the Great War had made some move to adjust invterest rates with the sole exception cf Canada, he cited the experience of Australia. Many from Ingersoll were in at­ tendance at the rally and remained for the dance which was held follow­ ing the speaker’s address. WILLIAM A.

Teall, ofTillsonburg, have been carefullyclassified and filed this summer atthe University of Western Ontarioand are kept in the Lawson Memor­ial Library for reference purposes.The papers, which fill 21 large fil­ing volumes, and 4 other letter­ books, were presented to the Univer­ sity of Western Ontario this sum­ mer by Miss Grace Teall, the daugh­ ter of the man who built the Tillson- burg, Lake Erie and Pacific Rail­ way. Professor Fred Landon, Librarian at the University, considers the papers very important, and pointed out that the collection dates back to documents signed in 1840. All the in­ tricate and difficult stages of getting a railroad built and in running or­ der are here explained, through 40 years of negotiations on the part of Mr. Teall, who was one of Ontario’s railroad pioneers. He built the rail­ way from Port Burwell to Tiilson- burg, and later extended the line to Ingersoll before it was taken over by the Canadian Pacific. Before the sale was made, Mr. Teall had plan­ ned to build coke ovens at Port Burwell, importing the coal from his own mine in the United States. At one time he even considered running the line as far north as Collingwood. John Teall worked day and night to complete the railroad, and his own story of the exhausting task is complete in the records which the University of Western Ontario now has in its possession.

Heath Stone, Inger­soll, Believed To Have BeenUsed By Pair That RobbedThamesford Service StationSaturday Night.Excitement was at a high pitchhere on Saturday! night. Shortlyafter ten o’clock, F. Heath Stonereported to the police that his Lin- coln-Zeephyr car had been stolen from in front of the residence of T. R. Jones, King street west, while Mr. Stone had stopped into the house for a few minutes and had left the motor of his car running. Search was im­ mediately started for the stolen car and the police of surrounding centres .were notified to be on the watch for the automobile. At 11.40 a call came to the local police office from Joshua Bobier, Thamesford Service Station operator, stating that two men had entered his service station, on the westerly limits of the village and asked for a package of cigarettes. As Mr. Bobier turned to get the cigar­ ettes he heard the bell of his cash register ring. Upon looking up he saw’ one of the men scoopcng money from the till drawer witfe one hand and covering Mr. Bobier with a gun clutched in the other. The second man kept a watch on the door. Mr. Bobier was told to stay where he was if he knew what was good for him as the gunman kept him covered. The other robber made his exit and in few moments the gunman departed from the ser­ vice station, entered a car waiting in front and with the second man as driver, sped westward. Mr. R. A. Stoe, who was returning from a rugby game at Sarnia, when a few miles west of Thamesford, not­ iced a car turn around on the high­way and drive east at high rate of speed. He recognized the vehicle as that of Mr. F. H. Stone, and upon letuming^o Ingersoll and hearing that the car had been stolen, told of his observation to the police. Constables John Holmes and Ben. F. Timms, with Chief Alex. Callander of the Ingersoll Police Force; Pro­ vincial Traffic Officer, Al. Lawrence, Ingersoll; County Constable John Clark, Woodstock and,Provincial Offi­ cers Eric MacMillen and Lyle Ptol- mey of London, were all engaged in the search for the stolen car and robbers. While proceeding north on Thames street, just outside of tho town limits, Officer Lawrence and Constable Holmes observed a car approaching them at a high rate of speed. They got out of their car and .ordered the approaching car to stop. The automobile proved to be the stolen one, and the driver at­ tempted to squeeze Officer Lawrence between the two cars as he passed. Shots were fired at the fleeting ve­ hicle but it evaded the officers, who immediately came up town to notify the other police. Returning north of the river a few moments later along Victoria street, a parked car was ob­ served on John street in front of the ^Sacred Heart Convent, The car proved to be the stolen one. The’ motor was running and the radio was going at full blast, the front lights were on and both doors were found open, indicating that the robbers had parked the car and made a hasty exit after passing the police on Thames street north. A search was continued throughout the town and district un­ til after 5 o’clock Monday morning, but no trace of the robbers could be found. On Monday morning, E. S. Byer- man, G. P. R. agent at Thamesford, reported that entry had been made to the station sometime.after closing on Saturday. A hole was cut through the door and the1 lock released to gain entry. All that was secured there was 15 copers, 2 excise stamps and a mechanical pencil bearing Mr. Byerman’s name. The police be- lieve/tyis robbery was the work of the same pair that held up the Bo­ bier Service Station. The amount taken at the service station is reported to be in the neibhborhood of $7.00 as Mr. Bobier had’, just previously emptied the till of the day’s takings. North Oxford W. M. S.

Phone SO Blueberry Culture Aa far as is known there are no commercial plantings- of cultivated blueberries in Canada, but consider­ able interest is being shown in three experimental plantings at the Dom­ inion Experimental Station, Kent- ville, Nova Scotia. There is also a small planting of cultivated varieties at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Results at Kentville would indicate that the blueberry will thrive under Canadian conditions of culti­ vation. Most of the varieties are hardy, comparatively free from dis­ ease or pests, and properly handled may be depended on to give a good yield of large fruits. The soil for blueberries is important. The plant apparently requires a good moisture supply but not a water-logged soil. Information as to soil types, prepar­ ation for planting, cultivation, fertil­ izing, pruning and varieties is con­ tained in a publication which may be obtained free on request from the Publicity and Extension Division, Dominion Department of Agricul­ ture, Ottawa.

With bin death came hints ofan unsavory private life, of wrongedwomen and betrayed husbands andfathers who had reason to wish himdead. There wa» also a powerful se­cret political organisation opposed tohim. . . Mary Holmes, called ’thegoose woman" by newspaper reporters,lives nearest the scene of the crimeon a small chicken farnf . . . GeraldHolmes, her talented young artist sonhas been befriended by the murderedEthridge. The mystery of the murder, bi the way. still remained unsolvedThe clues left by the slayer of AmosEthridge were so slender that noprogress had been made in piecingthem together, and, naturally, theor­ ies of various sorts began to beadvanced. Several of the Chicago papers declared that the cross oftwigs on the dead man’s breastproved it to be a Klan outrage, and this explanation was generally ac­cepted, for Westland was a strong hold of the secret order and Eth­ridge was a bitter enemy of the or­ganization. What is more, an im­ pressive demonstration had recentlyoccurred here. There had been a parade and a midnight conclave atwhich scores of new members hadbeen initiated. Special trains hadbeen run from distant points, hun­dreds'* of automobiles had assem­ bled, thousands of robed men hadgathered in the light of a tremen­dous fiery cross erected on a hilljust outside the city limits. Out of this occurrence had sprung a bitter political quarrel, for AmosEthridge had boldly proclaimed through the press that the Governorwas an avowed member and thatthe conclave had been planned with his knowledge and consent. Eth­ridge had gone further; he had djrged that the entire machineryof law enforcement had been be­trayed, delivered over to the Invis­ible Empire. He had promised to adduce irrefutable evidence, proofpositive, when the time came. His accusations had met with a tremen­dous popular response and, as a mat­ter of fact, it was largely as a re­ sult of this outspoken support thathe announced his intention to run for Governor al the coming election,pledging himself, if successful, towage relentless war upon the hooded order and to restore thegovernment io the people. Threats ^gainst life had followed.He had received warnings forecast­ ing much the same end as had ac­tually overtaken him. His murderupon the very eve of the campaignconvinced most people that thecharges voiced by the Chicago newspapers were indeed sound. But those charges were not so readily’ accepted by the citizens ofWestland. Amos Ethridge hadbeen a great man locally and during his lifetime his power had been suchthat few, of his neighbors dared speak a word against him, but, nowthat he was dead, tongues began to wag. From various quarters therearose a hissing of scandal. Peoplevoiced openly what they had never ventured to more than whisper—viz., that Ethridge’s private life had not been above reproach, that therewere chapters in it which would notbear the light of day, and that the authorities would have to lookfurther than the secret order in order to find his slayer. What'aboutthat "Thur'-d^d note that had beenfound in hfWpockct? There was more than one husband or lover,yes. even more than one father, in Westland who smarted under asense of outrage and who had rea­son to thank God the millionairewas dead. Let the police discoverwhat woman’s fingers had penned that note, then perhaps the mys­tery could be solved. It was evenwhispered that out of the solving there might result a scandal morepainful to the community than its present sense of loss, and that underthe circumstances it might be thepart of wisdom to let sleeping dogslie. Such came to be the generalfeeling in Westland. As the days crept by and no ar­rests were made, certain citizens be­ gan to nod and to speak guardedlyof ‘‘influence." The out-of-towncorrespondents heard these whis­ pers and promptly wired them in.As a result a special prosecutor was appointed by the state and he cameon to take charge of 'the investi­gation. On Thursday evening, a weekafter the crime, Gerald Holmesdrove his new car out the road to­wards his mother’s farm. It wasearly, nevertheless it was quite dark. As he crossed the bridge at theItalian settlement he’noticed that his right headlight suddenly wentout, just as it had gone out a weekpreviously at this precise point. To- night he did what he had done othat other occasion; he stopped, go out, and went around to the Ironof the car to investigate. Geralidid not pretend to much knowledg of automobiles, but this coincidenceit seemed to him, proved precise 1what he had told the dealer; to witthere \sas a loose electric conncction somewhere and a certain sor of jar destroyed the contact, dislocated something or other. Tindealer had promised to have it fixec but—well, this was a sample of hi>work. Fine way to turn out abrand-new car, even a cheap oneGerald shook the lamp gentlybut it appeared to be rigidly at­ tached to its support and the bulbdid not relight. He was afraid to shake it too hard, for fear of pullingit off—this was no rugged, hand­made, foreign car. Then he fingeredaimlessly at the wire beneath thelamp, but that, too, was disappoint­ ingly secure. He reasoned that thewire must run in under the hoou of the machine and somewhere at­tach itself to a battery or a dynamoor a generator or something, so he stepped back, lifted the bonnet, andpeered inside. He could make out very little indeed, even with theaid of a match, and recognized nothing that could by any possi­bility be considered a dynamo or anelectric lighting plant. The vitalorgans of an automobile, it seemedto him, were unnecessarily compli­ cated; he would have consideredmany of them utterly useless except for the fact that here and there“things” were revolving. He quicklydiscovered several wires, any one oiwhich might be the cause of histrouble, so, striking a second, then a third match, he gingerly testedthem. He had not gone far when lie uttered a grunt and jerked hishand away, incidentally bumpinghis elbow against something sharp and hard. Automobiles are full ofpainful corners. He dropped the match and swore, whereupon heheard subdued laughter and throughthe gloom discovered a couple offigures near by."Do you fellows know anything about automobiles?” he inquired.There came an answer in Italian, so he confessed, ruefully: “Well,neither do I. I can drive ’em, butI can’t fix 'em.” He closed the bonnet, passed backthrough the glare of his good head­ light, and, stepping into the car,drove on. It was a relief to notethat the car ran as well with onelight as with two. Some car! Thislittle buggy might have her faults, but lie loved her, just the same. Itwas the first automobile he had ever possessed and his pride of owner­ship was inordinate, for it repre­sented a terrible extravagance. Itwas a lovely shade oi blije, too, theparticular shade he adored, and he would have immensely enjoyedshowing it to his mother. That, however, was impossible. He couldnever make her understand. Invol­ untarily, he fetched a deep sigh andshook his head. Instead of proceeding on past the poultry farm and parking his. ma­chine in the grove near the entrance to the Ethridge lane, as he had donea week previously, he turned inthrough a break in the fence beforereaching the farm, and killed hismotor under a wide-spreading tree. It was barely possible that the po­lice might be watching the scene ofthe tragedy, and in any event it was not a nice place to be on a darknight. Gerald hated dark colors, dark nights, dark deeds, and thethought of what had occurred aweek ago tonight in that lane, half a mile ahead, gave him a sick feel­ing. He felt jumpy as he set out across the open pasture land to­wards the lights of his mother’scottage, and more than once he cast apprehensive glances back of himor stopped to listen. Soon the familiar outlines of chicken houses and runs appeared,then a dog barked. It was Jack, the old Airdale. The dog recognizedGerald’s voice and greeted him with extravagant affection when theyoung man dropped down inside thefence. Mrs. Holmes had heard the disturbance; she opened the kitchendoor and ‘peered out, inquiringguardedly: "Is that ydu, Jerry?”‘‘Hello, mother!” Gerald entered and closed the door behind him,then stooped to kiss the woman’supturned lips. When his face was.within a hand’s breadth of hers hechecked the movement and cried, reproachfully. “Oh, mother!"Mrs. Holmes answered petulantly: "Very well! Don’t kiss me if youdon't want to. But for Heaven’s sakedon’t^sutrt in with a temperance lec­ ture !’’ There was a moment ofsilence, then: "You don’t understand what it is to live all alone, in a placelike this. You're never lonesome.You have people to talk to. You see things and hear things—''. "AH right, .mother. I won’t lec­ ‘Is that you, Jerry?” she asked. ture. But you know how I feelbout-drinking.*’ The young man lent his head and pressed his lipso the woman’s cheek. "When did you get back fromChicago?” "Today. This afternoon.” "Have a good trip?” "Yes. They liked my drawings ind gave me some more work. I.rot a new story to illustrate, too. But—I was all broken up over themurder, of course! I left here thenext morning, you remember? I didn’t hear of it until that afternoon—then just the bare account. Gee! It was a shock. I felt as if I oughtto get on the train and come rightback. I wanted to be here for the funeral, too, but—I couldn’t get mymoney in time and 1 didn't dare try to borrow from that editor.”Mrs. Holmes smiled faintly, al­most sneeringly. “The funeral wentoff all right without you.”“You don’t understand how I felt towards Mr. Ethridge. You neverliked him. after what he did for me,but I did, for he gave me my start; made it possible for me to have acareer. Not many rich men would interest themselves in a ragged, ob­scure young—”“In the son of a 'goose woman!’ ”Mrs. Holmes broke in. “Of courseyou read the papers and saw whatthey called me?’’Gerald flushed. "Yes. Yes, Iread—everything.*’ “The rotters! Well, you’re notragged now, are you?” Mrs. Holmes stared at her son, and in her gaze,oddly enough, there were both pride and resentment. As an artist shehated Gerald, as a man she—well, he was her son, blood of her blood.What she beheld was a handsomeyouth—a boy of sufficient good looks and charm of manner to warm -any mother’s heart. Gerald’s face was frank and sunny; it was un­usually expressive, too, but cur­tained with that veil of conscious repression common to supersensitivepeople; it was the eager, dreamyface of an artist, a writer, a musi­cian. The boy’s faults and his weak-qcsscs, Mary Holmes well knew, were the faults and the weaknessesof most dreamers. She had never dared to analyzevery closely her feelings for thischild of hers—it is doubtful if she would have succeeded very well hadshe tried—for ever since she had nursed him-at her breast he hadroused within her emotions that vio­lently clashed. There were times when he filled her with a greatsatisfaction, a sublime contentment,thi-ti again times when she hatedhim fiercely—yes, hated him! Therewere occasions when she lavished upon him a sort of savage affection—these occasions were rare, by theway—and again occasions when shetreated him with a cruelty that waspositively feline. Nearly always, however, her feelings were mixedand he excited that distressing war­ fare within her bosom. He was atonce her comfort and her torture,her blessing* and her bane. ' “Gee! It gave me a fright torealize that I hadn’t been gone fromhere for half an hour—an hour atmost—when it happened,” Geraldwent on. “Why, I might have been involved in it!""Yoh? Nonsense! Whoever killed.Ethridge drove up iu an automobile and left it standing in that pinegrove across from the lane.. I saw the tracks the next morning.’*Young Holmes started: he eyed hismother apprehensively. "By the way, you must have met Mr. Eth­ridge on your way back to town?’’“N-no!" “You ifiuH have met him. Youcouldn’t have had time to walk tc the end of the street-car line before ♦he came along. It didn’t seem to me you’d been gone ten minuteswhen I heard his car pass and thenthe shots. Of course, it was longerthan that—" "Have you talked to the police?” "Certainly! They questioned me .the morning of the murder andthey’ve been here a couple of time*since.” “Did you—tell them about those —those automobile tracks? I sup­pose of course they noticed them?"Mrs. Holmes nodded. "Sure! You couldn’t miss them—they wereas plain as the nose on your face.” "Have they formed any sus­picions?” Continued Next Issue MRS. J.

The attendance num­bered about fifty, including members and guests. Following a very fine supper, catered to by members of Princess Louise Circle Companions of the Forest, the president of the so­ ciety, J. Ferris David, took charge of > the evening’s program which was , featured by an address from Major 1 Gordon J. Ingram of London, vice- ’ chairman of the Board of Directors ‘ Queen Alexandra Sanitarium, Byron, , and chairman of the Christmas Seal Committee of the London Health i Association, the organization oper­ ating the Sanitarium. His Worship, Mayor Alex. H. Edmonds, a guest at the banquet, spoke briefly, on behalf of the town council and extended to the out-of- town visitors a hearty welcome to Ingersoll. The president of the Ing­ ersoll Kiwanis Club, Elmer J. Chis­ holm, brought greetings to the Big Eight, from his organization. Postmaster S. A. Gibson, president of the Big Eight Society when it was first organized, and who headed the affairs of the society for over twelve years, reviewed the activities of tho Big Eight since its formation in 1917 to send baskets to the men from this district who were serving overseas. Mr. Gibson also introduced the guest speaker, Major Ingram, fo the gath­ ering, explaining that the Major was actively interested in several organ­ izations having the welfare of the people of Western Ontario at heart These included, in addition to Queen Alexandra Sanitarium, the Board of Governors of the University of Wes­ tern Ontario, the Western Fair Board and the London Chamber of Com­ mence. Major Ingram in opening his ad­ dress, explained that the Queen Alexandra Sanitarium at Byron was conceived by the late Sir Adam Beck in 1909. It was a Western Ontario Institution, taking in all the coun­ ties of Western Ontario and had made rapid developments from its first inception. The speaker said the death rate from tuberculosis in Can­ ada had decreased from 180 deaths per 100,000 in 1901 to 130 per 100,- 000 in 1936 during the 35 year per­ iod, while during the same time in the city of London, the decrease had teen from 61.3 persons to 39.3. The work of the Sanitorium was attrib­ uted as the reason for this decrease, and Major Ingram held that the in­ stitution filled a very important place in the community. When it was first' epened on April Sth, 1910 there was accommodation for 43 while at the present time the capacity is 600 beds. In giving a synopsis of the de­ velopment of the Sanitorium, Major Ingram mentioned that it was locat­ ed on the bluffs outside the village of Byron and the property consisted of 163 acres. There had_only been two presidents of the institution, Sir Adam Beck from 1910 to his death in 1925 and Col. Ibbotson Leonard, from that time to the present, and Mr. H. E. Gates is the only surviving member of the original board of dir­ ectors formed 29 years ago. A description of the various build­ ings and the-names of those contrib­ uting to their construction were men­ tioned. Theispeaker pointed out that a very successful farm was operated on the grounds. The stack on the farm at the present time included 128 head of cattle, 167 pigs, and over 300 hens. Large quantities of good fresh food were required each day including pnre milk and 200 dozen of eggs. Considerable emphasis was placed on the work being done by the Sani­ torium to try and prevent tubercul­ osis. Chest clinics are conducted reg­ ularly throughout the district, one being held each month at-'Aexandra Hospital here. Tne'Sanitorium sends a doctor and nurses to Ingersoll as well as several other towns and cit­ ies each month to examine cases and ’ make a careful study and report During the time the clinics have been in operation, over 44,000 persons have been examined Mr. Ingram said. In concluding his talk, the speaker mentioned that" the clinics were ; made possible from the returns from the sale of Christmas seals through; Western Ontario, each year. The history of the Christmas seal from the idea conceived by a Postmaster in Denmark in 1903, was traced briefly up to the present time. In Canada alone, it was pointed out, over $1,000,000 had been raised from the sale of seals since the idea was first started by the Muskoka Free Hospital for Consumptives. ■ Major Ingram said seals would be sent to Ingersoll this year, as form­ erly, and those buying them should do so with the feeling that they were making a contribution towards Mr. W. Gardner and Mr. and Mrs.Vatter of Sandusky, Mich., who havebeen visitors with the former’s niece,Miss I. Dorland, and other relatives in this vicinity, have returned home.

And whatwonders they are this year—styledto win the hearts of your women­ folk, and boasting new featureswhich will urge you to reach foryour checkbook.The motor makers deliberately set out to make you unhappy withyour old “bus.” Singlehanded theynave turned the country back to­ward prosperity several times bycreating products which were sodesirable the public just wouldn’tdo without them. They've done thesame thing with the 1939 models. There is a new style motif, created of pleasant flowing lines, as the top picture shows. The new cars are so perfectly styled thatthey look like they are movingeven when parked. Narrower radi­ ator grille, "catwalk cooling," lights in the fenders, wider seats, more leg room, automatic tuningradios, gear shifters on the steer­ing posts and engines with hurri­cane power are some of the new things. Probably the most important 1939 development is the “WeatherEye” conditioned air system forwinter driving. It brings June tothe automobile in January, and (Pictures courtesy Nash Motors) all winter long, and does it auto­ matically. You can drive as coolas you want, or hot enough towear a bathing suit when it’s zerooutside, as the pretty model aboveis doing.This new system breathes in as much as 800 cubic feet of fresh,outside air a minute, and condi­tions it. Drafts -are eliminated,there is no dirt or dust, and to­ bacco smoke is whisked out of thecar as If by magic. You set the dial, as the bathing beauty aboveis doing, and the system does allthese things automatically.Auto makers are looking for agood year, and we think you’llagree that they deserve one.

F. Tinney, assist­ ant to Superintendent, Dominion Experimental Station, Charlottetown. Before the birds are taken off range, however, it is necessary, in the interest of the comfort and gen­ eral health of the birds, as well as the convenience of the operator, to give the poultry premises a thor­ ough and systematic overhauling. A start should be made with the elimination of all older stock that is not to be carried over the winter. If the farmer depends on the pur­ chase of day-old chicks for flock re­ newal, this may possibly mean the disposal of all stock in the plant. If breeders are to be retained, they should be separated from the laying stock if sufficient space is available. Having removed surplus stock, at­ tention should be centered on the premises. If portable panel fencing in used, the hurdles may be removed and stored for the winter. Runways nmy be limed and ploughed. If convenient, remove all loose fittings such as nests, roosts, drop boards, from the house and expose them to die bright sun for several days. They should first, of course, be cleaned of all dust and litter. Scrape and sweep floors, and sweep walls and ceilings. After cleaning is completed, apply a good lime wash to every part of the interior of the house. Disinfectants may be added to the wash, if con­ sidered advisable. . Incidentally, a spray pump is the most satisfactory method of'white­ washing as it is then possible to drive the material into all cracks or seams. Apply a thorough coat of white wash to the fittings, nests, roosts, etc., before they are returned to place. Stop any drafts, such as open seams, knot holes, etc., and replace broken window glass and any torn cotton in the ventilating sashes. Put in a'good stapply of fresh, clean litter, and your house is ready for the birds whenever they are, brought in from range. Word was received here of the death in Detroit, Michigan, on Wed­ nesday morning, November 9th, of a former Ingersoll resident, in th? per­ son of John Devlin. For many years, previous to leaving Ingersoll, de ceasca operated a blacksmith shop on Thames street, where Borland’s Ser­ vice Station is now located. The body is to be brought here on the C. N. R. train Friday and will rest at the Preston T. Walker Funer­ al Home, King street west, until Sat­ urday morning. The funeral service will be held in the Church of the Sacred Heart, Saturday morning at 8.30 o'clock, with interment in the R. C. Cemetery. When scrubbing the back, scour across from side to side and then diagonally downward from shoulder to waistline from left to right and from right to left. Thia combines cleansing with beneficial massage and exercise for the muscles of the shoulders and upper back. Fortunately for feminine beauty, we cannot always believe our eyes. It is a well-known fact that eyes play tricks on their owners. Straight lines arranged in certain patterns appear curved. Lines of exactly the same length appear longer or shorter ac­ cording to the direction of intersect­ ing lines. Thanks to all this, short dumpy women and tall, skinny ones can give themselves better seeming propor­ tions by wearing clothes with the proper lines to trick the eye, and by finding the coilfures and make-up tricks that help Along the illusion they wish to create. We aren’t all built alike the dieting and exercise world, cannot change certain physical proportions. Some are, born with short necks and others with necks that arc much too long for real beauty, but luckily for those of us who are not lovely enough to be artist’s models, any rieck that carries the head well, that it firm and strong can give a proud, youthful effect. It can even seem pretty if you know the right tricks. If your neck is a trifle short but otherwise firm and nicely shaped, learn to stretch it as tall as possible. Walk, stand and sit as though unseen hands were holding your head pudd­ ly and pulling your neck gently from your shoulde/s. See if your profile will permit you to wear one of the high coiffures. Properly trimmed, waved and train­ ed, a high coiffure can round out uninteresting contours at the back of the head and fullness or flatness in certain spots can do a lot to balance a nose that is not perfect in propor­ tions. And the unswept hair will make your neck appear much longer. If you wear your hair down, choose a short bob, worn fluffy and brushed up from your neck. Increase the fair line of your throat further by wear­ ing V or rather low-cut U or diagonal necklines. A long necklace with a pendant reaching to the bust/will flatter Jou. A collar that flares out from your neck and slopes to a point in front will also slenderize. Upturned hat brims are better for you than hats that come down over your'eyes or cover your ears. Your make-up ahoi^d also help to focus the eye high arid-away from your full throat, so put rouge high on your cheekbones and circle it slightly upward toward your temples. Length­ en your lashes with mascara and use an oil or light-toned shadow on your eyelids.
