THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, OCT, 19, 1939 Yearly Rate® - - Canada, *1.60 . U. S. A-, 92.00 “D‘* Company Oxford Rifles Resume Training ”D’’ Company of the Oxford Rifles in Ingersoll has resumed its regular fall training with an inter­ esting program of rifle and light au­ tomatic training, anti-gas protection and bayonet fighting, along with the other features of rifle drill. The com­ pany meets every Wednesday even­ ing at the Ingersoll armories, Charlies street west. Within a few weeks it is expected a special course will be given in Woodstock to qualify men of the regiment as commissioned and non­ commissioned officers. A number of the officers and men from the Inger­ soll unit, it is expected, will be tak­ ing this course. In view of the fact that a large proportion of N.C.O.’s and men from the unit in Ingersoll have joined the active service force, officers of the unit advise that recruits will be needed to bring the unit to full strength. Already* quite a number of men have joined the unit in Inger­ soll and others have signified their intention of so doing very shortly. It is felt that by training now these men will have distinct advantage over those who leave all instructions until such time as their services are needed. The members of the Canadian Le­ gion and other organizations have already offered to give full support to any undertaking which may be required of the local unit. Officers of the unit will be at the armories every Wednesday evening and will gladly interview prospective re­ cruits.

For the second time within a yew, the Thamesford Branch of the Royal Bank of Canada was held up by a lone armed bandit, who escaped with only a small sum of money after his daring job. The robbery occurred at 10.05 a.m., on Wednesday morning, Oct 18th, just after the bank opened. The job was a daring piece of work on the part of a man who was des­ cribed as a “desperate looking char­ acter,” by the bank manager, G. E. Hessenauer. Shortly after 9.35 o’clock yester­ day morning, a man walked into Paterson’s Lunch, on Thames street and asked the proprietor, E. Gurdon Paterson, who also operates Pater- son’s Taxi Service, to take him un a trip. P. T. Fleischer of the firm, Ingersoll Auto Electric, Fleischer and Jewett Limited, was in the lunch room at the time. The man it is eaid, stood with his back against the wall while there talking to Mr. Paterson. He told Mr. Paterson that he wanted to go to Thamesford and from there likely to Woodstock. Mr. Paterson called his wife at the house and in­ formed her that he had a man to take to Thamesford who was in a hurry and asked her to come over and look after the Lumch Room. Mr. Fleischer was asked to wait until Mrs. Paterson arrived. Mr. Paterson got his passenger in one of the taxis, a 1939 blueish green. Dodge Custom Built, 4 door Sedan, bearing license No. 163X1. He stopped at the Fleis­ cher and Jewett B.-A. Service Station where the car was filled with gas by the attendant, Charles Elford. Mr. Paterson spoke with his wife who ^ives above the service station and told her that he had to take the man in the car to Thamesford. He in­ formed her the man was in a hurry and had told him that he wanted him to take him to Woodstock afterwards. Mr. Paterson arrived in front of the Royal Bank, Thamesford, just as the bank opened. His passenger got out of the car and went inside, ask­ ing him to w*ait until he returned. When called for a story by The Tribune, Mr. Hessenauer said: "I saw the man get out of the taxi and come towards the bank. I got my gun out of the desk drawer qs I was a bit suspicious, but before I could do aI thing, I heard the command, “Hands up! This is a hold up.” We were asked to hand over the money and were covered by the robber who held a loaded revolver in each hand. In the bank at the time with the manager, was the teller, W. L. Horne, the ledger keeper, R. G. Cor­ bett and Mrs. Christopher Ingram, who had just entered the bank to cash a cheque. The teller handed over the money he had in his cage at the time, and the robber ordered the four people in the vault, but he could* not lock the door, and when he en­ quired from the manager the reason for this, he was informed that the time <lock-was set and it could not be changed. Mr. Hessenauer expressed the belief that the gunman was the same one that held up the Canadian Bank of Commerce Branch at Princeton on (Continued on page 4) Missionary Circle of K. D. Met At Mrs. H. T. Bower’s Alien Registration Well Under Way In N. Oxford Oxford County has been divided into three sections for the purpose of registering enemy aliens. Chief of Police Alex. Callander is registrar for Ingersoll and district and the Chief Constables of Woodstock and Tillsonburg have been named in those centres.

VEALEProprietor and EditorPHONES:—Tribune Office. 13 -- Reeidence, 4 42A— Member of —The Canadian Weekly Newspaper*' AssociationTHURSDAY, OCTOBER 19th. 1939Canada and Latvia Lettish tribes, racially akin to the Lithuanians, nhabitcd the territory now caled Latvia, since the tenth century, but were neither the sole nor the old­ est inhabitants and there was no cohesion between them. Hence they became a subject people who from 1158 to 1918 endured four distinct periods of foreign domination first by pure German rule from 1158 to 1562 under the Knights of the Teu­ tonic Order and the Prince-Bishops, now in alliance, now in feud, with the Knights. There were two states at that time, Cornland and Livonia. Polish rule lasted from 1562 to 1795; Swe­ dish rule from 1629 to 1721 in Livonia only and Russian rule until 1918. Throughout this time, the cultural superiority of the Germans remained unchal­ lenged, the Teutonic Knights and their descendants, the Hauseatic merchants and their successors being the privileged representatives of the public power and overlords on the land. The Letts,*on the other hand, being serfs obtained personal freedom only in Rus­ sian times. Even then, as cultivators they remained small holders dependent upon the big landowners, mostly of German extraction. This inequality before the law survived even after the liberation. From about 1860 onwards, the Letts through as:o- ciations of their own, -which met with the support of an active and alert press, encouraged Lettish enter­ prise in parochial and municipal affairs; Lettish co­ operations and savings banks; Lettish gatherings for the propagation of folk-lore and song. By this means a level of education and economic standard was reached which placed the Letts of Cornland and Livonia far ahead of the Russian peasantry and out of it arose during the insurrectionary movement of 1905 the idea of independence or at least of autonomy. That opportunity came during the World War. Lettish national units were formed within the Rus­ sian army and fought gallantly, but independence re­ ceived a severe blow when these units, largely under Bolshevik propaganda, turned against it. The Bal­ tic Landwehr, a territorial force with pro-German leanings and commanded by Col. Alexander, a Brit­ ish officer, restored order. Red rube came to an end after only a few months. The Latvian Republic was solemnly proclaimed on November 18, 1918, but the ruin of a formerly prosperous agricultural country had been almost hopelessly carried out. The area is 25,000 square miles, almost as large as New Brunswick and the population two millions. The constitution is that of a democratic republic, with universal suffrage and proportional representation. Riga, the capital, is a city of 385,000 people. Canada's trade with Latvia direct, was over $180,- 000 last year. We get fishery products and rennet mainly and we send copper chiefly, as well as some iron and rubber manufactures. Huge Quantities of Food Destroyed By Rats While special efforts are being directed to the production and conservation of food supplies in Can­ ada under war conditions, a notorious destroyer of food, the common rat, is still at large, carrying out its work of destruction. Dr. Arthur Gibson, Dominion Entomoligist, emphasizes that the common brown or house rat mujt still be regarded as man’s greatest enemy in the animal world, notwithstanding state­ ments which have been made that this rat is prob­ ably decreasing in numbers. It invades houses, stores, warehouses and markets, and besides destroying fabrics and leather goods, at­ tacks all kinds of food—grains, meats, groceries, fruits, vegetables, and in short everything eatable. In town and country it attacks poultry, destroying eggs and chickens. Even the foundations of buildings, also, are damaged by its activities. In its widespread distribution, the rat destroys unceasingly, and yet its presence is too often tolerated. The common brown rat breeds 6 to 10 times n year and produces an average of 10 young at a lit­ ter. Young females breed when only three or four months old. At this rate, a pair of rats, breeding un­ interruptedly and without deaths, would at the end of three years (18 generations), be increased to 359,- 709,482 individuals. In addition to being the world’s most inveterate destroyer of food, the/brown rat is a menace to health. It is a carrier of hfabonic plague, one of the most devastating of hqmarf diseases, “The Black Death,” which has been carricn by the rat all over the world. \ The monetary value of the damage done by rats in Canada is enormous. To prevent this damage rats should be denied access to places where they obtain food and rear their young. Thqt ia, every building should be made ratproof. This would entail the ad­ option and enforcement of sanitary conditions by civic and health authorities and the institution of a.contin- uous Dominion-wide community campaign. Trapping and poison are effective means of destroying rats, but the use of poison is fraught with danger and difficult)! and its -use in houses is inadvisable, both on account of the dangef*and the likelihood* that dead rates in inaccessible placet would prove objectionable. Information as to the best methods of controlling rata may be obtained from the Dominion Entomolo­ gist, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, of Agriculture, Ottawa. many cues, a comparatively simple matter. Improvi­dent and reckleea exploitation, ill-planned reforesta­tion, destruction of wild life, fire, and the importationof inoect species from foreign land* are broad cate­gories under which man’s offences may be readilyclassified. In planning measure* of prevention andcontrol, our first concern must be the regulation ofman's activities and the correction of his mistakes.In some cases, appropriate legislation is the onlycourse; in others, the education of the individual willbe more effective. In any event, whether legislative oreducational procedure be adopted, it should at all times be based upon as thorough a knowledge of basic facts as it is possible to obtain.” Withhold Condemnation Men in various lines of retail business arc already being charged with increasing prices to an exorbitant height, and condemned for taking advantage of war conditions to prey upon the public. To the extent that profiteering or hoarding is being practised those responsible deserve censure. But before hasty con­ clusions are reached and abuse indulged in all of the facts should be known. The local dealer is subject to market conditions over which he has no control. Goods purchased from the United States are subject to from ten to fifteen per cent exchange. He has to accept prices fixed by producers and wholesalers, and must order his prices accordingly or go out of busi­ ness. Investigations are being made by federal in­ spectors both as to overcharging and hoarding. Until their reports are received householders should with­ hold condemnation and have faith in the integrity and honesty of their local merchants.

' HEALTH LEAGUE ofCANADAUNDERGROUND OPERATINGROOMNothing is more directly affectedby war conditions than civilian hos­pital management and the way the crisis was met In England gives an idea of the immensity of the prob­ lem before hospital authorities. The evacuation of the patients from the hospitals in London and other cities was performed with cel­ erity and smoothness. As in the case of, the evacuation of children, plans for removing hospital patients had been made months in advance. De­ tails were so carefully planned that clock-like precision marked the actu­ al evacuation. Ambulant patients were taken away in cars provided by friends of the hospitals; then at the stated hour coaches arrived for pa­ tients waiting on stretchers. At some of the hospitals strong sub-basements protected against gas have been made ready for casualties of air raids. An undenground operating room ia being built under the foundations of a new block of buildings at the Hos­ pital for Sick Children, London. The uderground accommodation, the first of its kind in England, will consist of a receiving room with eighty seats and six dressing rooms where minor injuries can be treated; an operating room for major casualties with three tables and nine dressing and anaes­ thetic cubicles; a duty room for the staff and a sterilizing room. The electric light and water supply are from sources independent of the main service.

IM P E R IA L B A N K O F C A N A D A Man, Chief Cause Forest Destruction Writing in the 1939 “Canada Year Book” on nox­ ious forest insects and their control, J. J. de Gryse, Chief, Forest Insect Investigations, Dominion Depart-' ment of Agriculture, in one part of his article says, “When, therefore, we refer to insects as pests or destructive enemies of the forest, we speak in terms of human relationships and we forget that, more than .often, than himself is the prime mover in the calamities which are visited upon him. Our know­ ledge of insect ecology is still very. x imperfect and it would be absurd to pretend that all the casual relationships underlying the rise and fall of any one insect outbreak can be determined. “However, the fixing of man's responsibility is, in Mr. J. C. Norsworthy has received a cable from his son, Stanley, bearing Satisfactory reports of his progress in recovering from severe wounds of a re­ cent date.

Smith, Won­ ham street, at high noon, on Thursday, October 12tb, when their daughter, Hilda Irene, became the bride of Lambert Franklin Saylor of Seattle, Washington. The ceremony was performed by Bev. Joseph Janes. College Street Presbyteriafi Church, Toronto, was the scene of a quiet but pretty wedding on Thursday afternoon, October 12th, at 4.30 o’clock, when Edna Louise, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan DeGroat, of Ingersoll, became the bride of Gordon Brown Laing, son of Mr. and Mn, Thomas Laing of Tor­ onto.

One of those men who spends his time in church by idly flipping the leaves of hymnals and prayer books is the discoverer of the fact. He was at worship the other SundayL-when he encounetred-a list of dates which appeared to regulate the date upon which Easter shall fall over a period of many years. "Ac cording to the book,” he said, “Easter in 1940 will fall on March 24, the earliest date upon which it has occurred since 1925, and there won't be an earlier Easter date until the year 2000.” Before You Insure Consult Confederation Life Association One of the World’s Great Life Insurance Institutions Renowned for Strength, S ervic e and Security Since 1871. Representative * H . G. Small - Ingersoll well-cultivated lands, smallpox, cere- bro-spinal meningitis and penumonia. ingitis and pneumonia. Tl.e three first-named are readily preventable. If the soldier has been inoculated against the typhoid group, with tetanus-toxoid and vaccinated against smallpox, he is immune to what, in past times were the scourges of armies. Ccrcbro-spinal mening­ itis, while not entirely preventable, may have its incidence much lower­ ed by segregation of the early cases. Its cure is readily affected in the large proportion of cases by the time­ ly use of a serum available for many years. Pneumonia is no longer the dang­ erous complaint it formerly was. The use of dagenan seems to have redu­ ced the mortality from 25 to 8% in civil cases. It is gratifying to learn that the Ontario Departipeat of Health is fol­ lowing the example of the Provincial Board of Health of 1914 in supply­ ing anti-typhoid vaccine for Canad­ ian troops. In the season of 1915, some 22,000 troups were trained at Niagara-on-the-Lake. In spite of the fact that at that time there was more (typhoid) dangerous water in Norh America, not a single case of typhoid occurred among the inocula­ ted men. There was a similar exper­ ience with smallpox. Over-seas ty­ phoid among the Allied troops who had been inoculated against the affection showed very few cases. While tetanus antitoxin, used as soon as possible after receiving a wound, no matter how small, usually prevented lockjaw. There were very few caW of smallpox. Just as in civil life, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. « Is Patriotic Duty To Destroy Weeds Many late fall weeds should re­ ceive attention at this time of the year. Wild Carrot might be mention­ ed particularly. Seeds are retained until late fall when they may be dis­ tributed by various agencies includ­ ing wind, water, animals, birds and man, thereby infesting new areas, says J. D. MacLeod, weed expert, Ont. Dept of Agriculture. The wind carries some weed seeds long distances in drifting soil also over frozen ground and snow. An experimet conducted in Saskatche­ wan proved this fact when it was found that six ounces of surface soil taken from a spot along a road fence, Contained the following seeds: Stickweed 330; Wild Mustard 267; Hare's Ear Mustard 99; Stinkweed 3; Black Bindweed 150; Lamb's Quarters 15 and Ragweed 9. An­ other experiment conducted some years ago showed the presence of many weed seeds in snow, thirty-two seeds of nine species of weeds hav­ ing been found in two square 'feet of a snow drift. Many weed seeds are eaten by birds during the late fall and early winter when other food is not plen­ tiful. These seeds will not lose their vitality and may be carried long dis­ tances in this way. Neglected fall weeds will spread plant disease, gather and hold snow, clog ditches and thus hinder the flow of water. They are dangerous from a fire standpoint and are a source of infestation to the entire commun­ ity. Many Ontario fields are infested right now with Wild.. Carrot, Toad Flax, Ragweed, etc. They should be mown at once, raked up and burned and the infested area brought into the crop rotation. Seeds of neglected weeds growing in vacant lots, around buildings, fence lines arid on banks of rivers, small streams and ditches may be carried long distances by springfloods. By cleaning up and burning all neglected weeds at this time the ap­ pearance of property is greatly im­ proved. Whether you live in the city, town or country, you can do your bit to cut down crop losses due to weeds, states Mr. McLeod. It'is a , patriotic duty to clean up the weed me'nace. Denominational Survey of Ingersoll Planned Members of the Ingersoll Minis­ terial Association are arranging for a denominational survey of the town under the direction of the Baptist , Church of England, Pentecostal, Presbyterian and United Churches and the Salvation Army. This survey will be directed by a committee composed of the minister and one lady leader from each of these denominations and will be car­ ried out by a hundred women drawn from these co-operating-groups. Each home in town will be visited by two of these ladies who will seek to se­ cure the desired facts. From these facts statistics concerning each de­ nominational group, whether co-op­ erating in the census or not will be given to the minister of that group. The directing committee will meet shortly to make plans and arrange for the survey which will be com­ pleted before winter sets in. Mrs. Richard Rawlings Passes At Woodstock Mrs. Alice M. Rawlings, wife of Richard Rawlings a former Ingersoll resident, died at Woodstock on Sat­ urday, October 14th, in her 74th year.

ANTHONY IUNN RICHARD DENNING NEWS LEITH STEVINS AND HIS BAND Autumn Tips For Motorists 1. Because of earlier darkffess, accidents involving motor vehicles increase greatly in October over July and August. Make sure head­ lights are properly focussed and burning brightly. Reflectors should be cleaned and dim bulbs replaced. Be sure and use long-life Canadian- made lamps. 2. Brakes should be checked now after the Summer’s heavy driving. At 40 miles an hour, a car cannot be stopped under 115 feet. Have the car wheels “pulled” to assure proper check. 3. A good anti-freeze is an econ­ omy, not an expense. Many cases of freeze-up, causing costly repairs, are due to motorists thinking they were protected. , But boil-away types of anti-freezes evaporate on warm days, leaving the radiator not suffi­ ciently protected when cold weather comes again. The permanent type of anti-freeze keeps at full strength all winter long. A popular brand has been considerably reduced jn price this Autumn.4. Old, worn tires are dangerouson rainy Autumn days and particu­larly on icy pavements. For safety's sake they should be replaced now.5 Nothing cuts down a car's effic­ iency more than a rust-clogged cor­roded cooling system. Formerly it was a long, expensive process to clean it out by acids but garagesnow report a simple, three-step cleaning process which does thework in half an hour at low cost,After having the cooling system' cleaned, be sure and use ananti-freeze which contains special rust inhibitors. get FREE ESTIMATE ON YOUR ROOFING Joseph Mitchell wm born in 1350on Lot 9, Oon. 3, Deraham Townahip,on the -farm now owned by KiahClark. He passed to his reward onTuesday, October 10th, 1989, in his90th year. HU early education waa under the tuition of his mother at home until he waa nine years of age. There were several school teachers in hu mother’s family. He attended the Red School House on the 3rd Con­ cession till his late teens, being kept at school during summer and winter when older boys attended only part time. He came of a literary family and continued his studies at home after he left school. He assisted his father on the farm, and later took over the farm. In 1874 he married Matilda J. Banbury. There were three children; Mabel M., now Mrs. John W. Dickout; Luella; Josephine M., now Mrs. Joseph Poole. In 1892 the home farm was sold, and for nine months the family lived in Salford, settling in the Spring of 1893, on the farm, Lot 6, Con. 2, De re ham, where he spent the rest of his life. While he made a success of mixed farming, he had higher in­ terests than making money, and took time out for reading and study, which he kept up faithfully until within a few weeks of his passing. He was especially interested in his­ tory and poetry, and had a well stored mind. He was also a student of local history and could trace back for many years the records of his neighborhood. He had a retentive memory and was enthusiastic about all that happened in the early days of this pioneer country. Six of his family were born in Londonderry, Ireland, three more being born after his parents emigrated to Canada. Joseph was the youngest of his family. They came to Canada when De reham was almost a wilderness and early settlers had many hard­ ships and privates to undergo. It was said of his father: “He was a man of great industry, quiet and un­ assuming manners, noted for his patience and kindness,” and his son lived fully up to the example of his father. He was extremely active for a man of his years until within seven weeks of his passing. He loved to keep up with the world affairs, and was keenly interested in public events. He was orderly, clean, systematic and methodical in his thinking and in everything that he did. He was a faithful member of the Methodist Church at Salford, and an active Christian worker in the community. His religion was not confined to Sun­ day, but he lived constructively every day, urging others to do like­ wise, especially young men, in whom he took a great delight, many of whom bear testimony to his influ­ ence for good in their lives. He v^as a student of the Bible, and with Ins family read through the ^ible con­ sistently, committing long passages to memory. He was one of the first eHers at the time of Union in 1925, and taught for many years in Sunday School. -He was very conscientious in all that he did.He came of a musical family and early learned to play several instru­ ments. At first they made their own Shepherd Pipes by hand, until he was later given a fife and taught to play by note by his oldest brother. He played in the Orange Walks from seven years of age, missing very few walks in 78 years. He owned a German Sliver Fife 'which came through the U. S. Civil War Rebel­ lion. He was also skillful in playing the castanets (bones). He was a life­ long member of “Pride of Oxford” L.O.L. No. 743, Ingersoll, and a member of King Hiram A.F. & A.M. Lodge. He was always a strong ad-» vocate of temperance, and was a member of the Band of Hope from 1857 when he was 7 years old, and was proud to own one the first 'scroll work pledges signed by Martha Waggoner and Helen Hartnett, two of his first Sunday School teachers, to whom he owed a great debt of gratitude. His 89th birthday was a memorable occasion, his Bible Glass At Salford sending him a birthday bard shower, his room was a profus­ ion of flowers from well wishers, and the many callers bore adequate testi­ mony to the influence of a great man. It was a great joy to him to know that he was not forgotten and that others had an interest in him. His passing is a definite loss to the community, but he leaves behind fra­ grant memories of a well spent life, and a challenge to the rising genera­tion to be worthy of his good example. •The funeral was held from his late residence, Lot 6, Con. 2, Dereham, on Thursday afternoon to the Harris Street cemetery. Private service was conducted at the house at 145 o’clock by R. B. Cumming, of the Salford United Church, and a solo, “Face to Face,” was given by Miss Marguerite Banbury, accompanied by Mrs. Har­ old Harrison.

This tonic prop­ erty is increased by its richness in chlorophyll, the green coloring mat­ ter of vegetable life which is a pow­ erful agent in the treatment of blood poverty. Increasing the bulk of the products of digestion, it is laxative. While spinach, therefore is health­ ful food for most people, it is not advised for arthritis, gouty rheuma­ tics or those with gravel, kidney or bladder stone. “I i>—” began Joan. “I am—” promptly corrected the teacher. "I am the ninth letter in the alph­ abet,” Joan finished. DOUGLAS Popeye and His Spinach Some people can see propaganda in everything. That maybe the rea­ son for the story that Popeye is a sort of Public Relations Officer for the spinach growers. But whether the idol of the junior movie-goers has any interests to serve, or not, the fact remains that it isn’t as hard to make the youngsters eat their spinach as ’ it used to be. Maybe too, there is something in Popeye’s faith in spinach because it has been proved that this vegetable does contain iron. Though it is not advised for all people, generally speaking, spinach has high nutritive values. Spinach is no new discovery and in the old days there were doc­ tors who prescribed it for many things—though their theories are no longer held, in the light of scientific knowledge. Doubtless imported into Europe at the time of the Crusades, spinach was already well-known dur­ ing the Renaissance. In the 18th Century it was regularly hocked in the streets of London. In those days, the plant was prepared by chopping it up, boiling it and making it into balls, the liquid being squeezed out with the hands. Then it was mixed with butter, oil or vinegar and thus pr pared considered a delicacy. To­ day the usual method of home pre­ paration is boiling it whole and re­ taining as much of the water as feas­ ible so as to be eaten with butter, pepper and salt Most canned spin­ ach, of course, is chopped up. In the Eleventh Century, Arabian doctors prescribed spinach for many conditions especially of the throat and chest. Two centuries later, spinach enjoyed a period of great favor as a laxative and intestinal cleanser. Today it is known that spinach has a high iron content. It also contains small quantities of or­ ganic salts of potash and lime and is relatively rich in sugar..

Death at an early hour on Monday morning, October 16th, removed one of Ingersoll’s best known citizens in the person of Charles Wesley Riley, Sr. Deceased had been confined to Alexandra Hospital for the past three weeks but his condition was not re­ garded as serious and the announce­ ment of his passing came as a dis­ tinct shock to his many business associates and friends. Had he lived until November 9th, Mr. Riley would have been 83 years of age. He was bom in Montreal, Quebec, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Riley. His early educa­ tion was received in a private boys’ school in that city and he later took a business and commercial course at a private business college. His father was a buyer and ex­ porter of chees and apples. As a youngsman Mr. Riley came to Strat­ ford, where he was located for two years as buyer of cheese for a large Montreal firm. 57 years ago he came to Ingersoll and established his own business, the Charles W. Riley Cheese Company with which he has been continually associated with un­ til his death, although for the past five or six years he has not taken an active part in the affairs of the com­ pany other than to be in attendance at the office every day. For many years he was one of the largest exporters of cheese in Can­ ada. For about twenty years he was associated with the management of the Noxon Company Limited. Along with the late William Watterworth, Mr. Riley, assumed control of the Noxon Company about forty years ago. For many years he was vice- president and for ten years previous to 1917 when the concern was closed, .he was the president. The company did a thriving implement business here for many years but they had made shipment of Ipfge quantities of their products to Russia in the early days of the last war and when that country could not meet its obli­ gations, the Noxon Company wa^ forced to go out of business. Mr. Riley suffered heavy financial losses, but continued in his own business and also operated the Slawson Cheese Company, which he purchas­ ed from the widow of the late C. H. Slawson, following Mr. Slawson’s death. For the post 25 years he has had his nephew, Charles W. Riley, Jr., associated with him in the busi­ ness, and has made his home with his nephew on Oxford street. He was highly regarded for his knowledge of the cheese industry and had made no less than seventeen round trips across the Atlantic to the British Isles and the Continent in connection with, the marketing of cheese in the Old Land. He was never married And is the last surviv­ ing member of his family. He was a member of St. James’ Anglican Church, Ingersoll, and a regular attendant at Sunday services up until the last month. For many years he served on the advisory board of the church. He was a mem­ ber of King Hiram Lodge, No 37, A.F. and A.M., Harris Chapter, No. 41, Royal Arch Masons and of the I.A.A.A., in which organization he served for many years as president A private funeral service/ was .held on Wednesday afternoon at 2.00 o'clock from the residence of Charles W. Riley, Jr., 261 Oxford street; to St James’ Anglican Church, where a public service was conducted at 2.30 o’clock by the rector, Rev. H. E. Merifield. The choir of the church was in attend­ ance and led in the singing of the hymns. Many gathered to pay their, last respects from many outside centres os well as from Ingersoll and district and there were many lovely floral tributes evidencing the esteem of a wide circle of friends and bus­ iness associates. Entombment was made in the Ingersoll Mausoleum, the bearers being Messrs. F. Earl John­ son, Charles Christie, William E. Cragg, Alex. Yule, John Baskett and E. A.

DARING ROBBERY(Continued from page 1)Friday last. While it was not possibletell the exact sum taken at Tham-> ford, the manager did not believethe amount exceeded a few hundreddollars as he explained to The Tri­bune that there was a lot of cash on hand Tuesday to pay milk cheques, also about $5,000.00 worth of hogs had been shipped from Thamesford on Tuesday, and many of the cheques received in payment for these had been cashed. Police at Ingersoll, London and Woodstock were notified as soon as [ the bank manager could get to the telephone. A number of Thamesford citizens started in pursuit of the speeding taxi as soon as the news of the robber}' spread through the village. Allistor Thom, with W. L. Home the Bank Teller and Aubrey Connor, were the first to set out and they traced the car to where it turned west, on the second conces­ sion. The Tribune in an interview with Gordon Paterson upon his arrival back in Ingersoll at 5.15 last even­ ing, related his experiences with t’ne bank robber. Paterson said about 9.40 a man came in my lunch room and asked, “Have you a car here?” 1 replied yes, and went out to the ear. The man was about five foot six inches tall, wore a dark blue suit, a dark cap and a heavy grey check overcoat His hair had a redddish, tinge, and I certainly wpuld know him again if I saw him. He threw his overcoat in the back seat and got in the front with me. We stopped at the service station to fill up with gas, as he told me that he first wanted to go to Thamesford and then to Wood- stock. When we started out he said, “drive as fast As you want to, I ain in a hurry.” When we got to Tham­ esford he said, “stop in front of the bank I want to get some money here.” It was before ten o'clock and the bank was not open. A man was talking to two other men in front of the bank. The two men went away and the one opened the bank door, went inside and closed it after him. Uy passenger waited a few minutes and then went into the bank. In about three or four minutes he came out, got into the back seat and said to me, “get going.” That was the first that I was suspicious of anything being wrong. I did not see any guns, but I was taking no chances and did as I was ordered. We went west to Hogg’s Garage, turned north to the C. P. R. station, then east to the tenth edneession, then straight through on the tenth until the second road past Kintore when he told me to turn west. He asked to go to Lon­ don then and gave me four $1.00 bills first, then as we neared Lon­ don, he threw two more on the front seat. At the corner of the Sarnia gravel and the Western University side road, he said, "1’11 get out here, and you get back where you came from.” I did as I was told and drove into the first farm house, from where I called the Thamesford bank and the London Police. I went back to the spot where I let the man out in less than ten minutes. The police were soon on hand, but there was no trace of my passenger. I could not say he appeared like a gangster but he was queer acting and rather odd. He did very little talking.

Here wereDavid and her mother, two belovedbeings, thrown from their pedestals.There was left unsmirched only heradored father. And he must neverknow what she knew. She bathed and began to dress forher ride, tying her hair with a blackribbon and donning riding breechesand a soft white shirt. It was when across the fields to the highway on that clear November morning. Up one hill and down anotherwent the speeding horses. The riverwas in sight, but before they reachedit they had to cross the highway that led to Baltimore. And coming toward them down that highwaywas a small shabby car driven atbreakneck speed by a wild-eyedyouth.He jumped out as he saw them. "There’s been an accident. Baekthere. A car went over the em­bankment. It must'have skidded."A moment later the four of themshe looked for her tie pin that shefound her pearls were missing. She remembered seeing them lastnight, a little white heap in themoonlight. She couldn’t be mistaken,yet she opened drawer after drawer,searching. At last she decided thatVicky had put them away and there was no need for worry. There were other things, indeed. to think about. The ride with hermother, for example. She knew nowwhy she and Garry had been asked—to play propriety for Elinor andDavid. She was pulling her hard little hat down to her ears when there was a tap on the door. "Mr. Garry is here.Miss Anne.” “I’ll be down in a moment,Manon.”The maid had a letter on her tray."Wells found this in the box." Anne tore open the letter and sawa sheaf of closely written sheets. Sheturned to the last page and lookedat the name "Charles.” He hadwritten:“Anne: "I wish you were here, without/ your belligerent squire.”1 wish you were here because Ihave some things to tell you. I told you my name was ’Charles’ and let itgo at that.

For youare what you are by the grace ofGod. May He have you m Hiskeeping!"When she had finished reading,Anne stood very still with the let­ ter in her hand. A strange letter. A wonderful letter. The things thatCharles had said to her seemed tolift her heavy heart to a quickenedand happier rhythm.The maid was again tapping at thedoor. "Mrs. Ordway says she iswaiting." "I’m ready. Marian." She stuckthe letter in her blouse, then as athought struck her she said, "Ask were looking down at an inert form in white flannels and a white sweat­ er, crumpled up at the foot of thehillAnne’s heart seemed to stop beat­ing.

Charles Patterson, racked withpain, was glad of the drug thatdulled his senses. He slept for threehours after his arm was set andwaked to firia himself in a big old-fashioned room, and by his side a young woman in while linen."I’m Vicky,” she said.Vicky rose as Francis Ordwayentered. He came up to the bed and spoke heartily. “Well, lookwho’s here! Do you remember me,Patterson?”Charles took the outstretchedhand. "I’ll say I do. You visitedour old house in Cecil when I wasa boy." “Yes. After that I lost track ofyou. You went abroad, didn’t you?"“Yes. Foreign correspondent.”"I remember.

Preparing WinterQuarters For LayersSanitation, cleanliness, of the lay­ing house and stock is an importantfactor in the auccemful managementof any laying flock. The presence oft-t and filth in a laying house or n harbours those parasites and diseases which prevent economical production. The season for a thorough clean­ ing is usually at the time when the older birds are culled out, and be­ fore the pulleta are brought in from range. The months most suitable are August and September. Thia period of the year allows the houses to dry out thoroughly. The procedure in the cleaning of the houses of the Poultry Division of the Experimental Farm, Nappan, states M. H. Jenkins, Poultryman at the Farm, is as follows: 1. Remove all feeding, nesting and roosting equipment 2. Brush ceiling and walls and remove the litter from the floor. 3. Hose t)ie walls and floors to soften and loosen any dirt that is stuck thereon. 4. Scrape all corners and crev­ ices with a three-cornered scraper. 5. The walla and floor are scrub­ bed with a scrubbing brush or stubs of old brooms, using a good coal tar disinfectant in either warm or cold water. One pint of the disinfectant to four gallons of water is used at Nappan. 6. After the house has been thoroughly gone over with the dis­ infectant, it is hosed again, the sol­ ution removed and the house allowed to thoroughly dry and air out. 7. After the house is completed, all the equipment is gone over with the same solution, and in the same manner. 8. After a thorough drying out is effected by sunshine and wind, the equipment is returned to its place. 9. The final step is to put in clean, fresh litter and fill the feed hoppers. Thus the house is ready for th young stock from range. 14" Oven with thermometer.

Late Blight a Commom Cause of Severe Losses In Stored Potatoes In these days of national emer­ gencies and at this season of the year there are certain precautions which should be undertaken to insure the potato crop of the Dominion against loss in storage, advises the Dominion Botanist. Late blight is possibly one of the most serious factors responsible for wastage in stored potatoes. Late infections oc­ curring-in the fields are mainly re­ sponsible for serious storage rots against which all producers and con­ sumers should be prepared to guard. At this time of year Irish Cobblers and other early varieties are for the most part already matured and the tops dead. Where no blight has been detected in the field, digging may take place any day that promises to be sufficiently clear to dry the sur­ face of the tubers before they arc placed in bins or sheds. If blight was seen on the tops before they died, it is advantageous to delay dig­ ging for ten days to two weeks after maturity. Utmost care should be taken to discard all tubers show­ ing signs of rot in the field—this is very important. Extra care should be taken With all late varieties. In most years con­ siderable blight is found in these varieties and by the end of Septem­ ber when digging will commence, it may have become severe. Fields that are dead at that time and in which blight has been present should not be dug until at least ten days after all the green matter has left the leaves and stalks. This will prevent the tubers from coming in contact with blight spores on the tops. It is also most important that the har­ vested tubers be allowed to dry ns much as possible in the fields be­ fore their removal to bins and that all rotten tubers be discarded, since they definitely serve as a source for secondary rota in storage. In some fields where the tops re­ main green after the first week of October and in which blight is pre­ sent it is advisable to mow off or kill the tops before digging. In this way living spores on the tops are destroyed and much tuber infection prevented. A mixture of ten pounds of bluestone and forty gal­ lons of water will kill the tope satis­ factorily if the field has not been sprayed with Bordeaux. Fields that have been sprayed with Bordeau throughout the growing season may be killed with a mixture of Sodium Arsenite and water, using one and a half pounds in forty gallons. Depending upon size and condi­ tion of tops apply enough spray to cover thoroughly and kill the tops. (Sodium arsenite may be obtained as a concentrated solution from local dealers and is usually sold under various trade names with instruct­ ions for its use on the package.) The following precautions, then, apply to all potato fields throughout the Dominion, but naturally more particularly to late varieties. -<1) Delay digging; fields where blight was found during the growing sea­ son should not be dug until ten days or two weeks after the tops are dead; (2) Kill the tops—Twenty pounds of bluestone or three pounds of sodium arsenite per acre in 80 gallons of water will kill tops where blight is present and the plants stay green after the first week of Octo­ ber. Digging should be delayed after the tops are dead to allow spores in the soil to die. (Prevent livestock from eating sprayed topa as they are poisonous). (3) Discard all rotten tubers in the field. Blight infected tubqrs in the bin serve as a source for secondary rote which may rap­ idly spread in storage. (4) Do not store wet or dirty tubers. If tubers are allowed to dry in the fields until all clay is easily removed in hand­ ling much leas rot will occur in the bin. Clear windy days are best for digging and drying potatoes.

Gladys—Oh, Mr. Smith, this is so sudden.” A recommendation to every far­mer in Canada to- make a carefulsurvey this fall of his farm project in view of the demands that the war may make necessary at any time is made in the following statement issued by Hon. James G. Gardiner, Dominion Minister of Agriculture: “The question of increased pro­ duction requirements in Canada— what commodities will be required and in what quantities—is not an easy one to answer at thia moment. The situation, however, may clarify itself with alarming suddenness, at which time a more definite policy would become possible. “Yet for the farmer this fall may prove to be the most significant fall season for many years. On the thor­ oughness of this fall's preparation will depend in a more vital way than ever before the quality, quantity, and cost of his final product a year hence—whether this take the form of field crops marketed as such, or of farm crops marketed through cattle, dairy products, sheep, wool, poultry products, or last, but far from least, hogs. • Not for many years has there been an autumn when a most careful sur­ vey of the whole farm project may be more vitally important from na­ tional as well as self-protective con­ siderations. We shall be too busy to do this next spring. It may be too hite next fall. “Three considerations deserve ur­ gent and immediate attention: “1. Grain crops and feed sup­ plies. Crop plans for next year will govern the scope and character of this fall’s operations. In Eastern Canada and British Columbia it may be well to insure adequate feed sup­ plies for an intensive, production of hogs or of dairy or poultry products. A few extra acres of grain on Eas­ tern farms should therfore be seri­ ously considered. Conversely, Prairie farmers will probably find that the marketing of surplus and low-grade wheat and coarse grains will net higher returns through hogs, cattle and poultry. Necessary modifications additions, and changes in the work on the land this fall may yet be made to take care of the contemplated in­ creases or changes in marketing. ‘ift. Live Stock.

The red “A” filter makes skiesquite dark; Is good for special effects. DO p i Y ct O u H re u t s a e k i c n o g lo ? r I f t i ’ l s t er su s r I p n r i y s o in u g r the effect these little gadgets have in improving the quality of snap­ shots—and they're worth a try for anybody who wants to make his pic­ tures better. With the right filters yon can obtain more desirable rendering of colored subjects In your black-and- white shots... retain clouds in out­ door pictures . . . darken skies for dramatic Interest . . . even obtainbeautiful moonlight effects on water scenes in the daytime! If yours is a b« camera or inex­pensive folding model, you should have a filter which is medium yellow in color. This may be described sim­ply as a "color filter," or by the num­ber "K-2.” If yon use a finer camera with anastigmat lens, you should also hare a “G” filter (deep yellow) and an "A" filter (light red); but Ifyou decide to get just one filter atthe start, choose the medium yellow?'■ tty tt of these filters produces a different' effect The medium yellowor K-2 Is a "correction” filter. Pic­ tures taken through it show an im­ proved rendering of tone values, compared to shots taken without a filter. Clouds stand out just about as the eye saw them in the originalscene. And all colored objects are reproduced more nearly in their cor­ rect relative brightnesses. The "G” and "A” are “contrast" filters, for special effects. The "G” darkens a blue sky considerably, andis useful for dramatic renderings. The "A” filter darkens blue still more—so that, for example, a white building can be made to stand out against an almost black sky in a pic­ture. These filters also lighten ob­ jects of their own colors, making them appear brlghter-than-normal in the print. Each filter calls for some increase in exposure, depending on the film you use. Instructions covering this point are generally packed with thefilter, and are quite easy to follow. An exposure factor ot 2, for example, simply means to double the expo­ sure. This would be accomplishedby using the next larger lens open­ ing-such as, f/8 Instead of f/lL Filters are simple to use ... andcan add materially to the quality and Interest of your pictures.

During most fall sea­ sons such stock must be marketed at sacrifice prices. At present price levels, however, animals falling into these classes can be liquidated at fair returns, and the opportunity thus presented should be grasped. In other words, this is a good time to bring up the standard of herds and flocks, to reduce feed consumption and costs, and at the same time to obtain a return higher than can usually be counted upon when culling work is undertaken. A critical look at every beast on the farm at this time may pay interesting future dividends. On the other hand, the retaining of all good young stock of the right type., as for example extra good young sows and well-developed ewe lambs, should not be neglected. “3. Early consideration of seed requirements. There will be time this winter for general seed cleaning, a check-up on„mnchinery and equip­ ment, and the consideration of the many details connected with prepar­ ations for next season’s, crop. But of paramount importance is wjiat hap­ pens on the farm, in the next few weeks. Seed supplies generally are likely to be adequate. Certain dis­ ease-resistant sorts > of wheat, oats and barley and disease-free seed potatoes, however,' are still limited, any substantial export of them would leave us short. Securing supplies of these well in advance this year is wise practice. “As a final word it is important that those who can maintain their present position or improve it i:i hog production should do so. Bacon, hams and,fats are bound to be re­ quired in greater volume if the war continues. “It is also important that farmers should not change at this time from chepse to butter production. The un­ certainty of the position in relation to the British market makes it im- posible to advise us to price levels in either^ cheese ot* bacon but one thing is certain—that is, both cheese and bacon production will have an impor­ tant bearing on Canada's food effort. We can be assured that when the matter is fully considered, British and Allied consumers will give fair re­ turns for essential products. “As the general situation becomes clearer, provincial organizations will be mobilized to guide and stimulate production in accordance with known needs, such organizations in turnon­ listing the services of existing pro­ ducers’ associations. Meanwhile, each province, wjth its organized Depart­ ment of Agriculture, its agriculture, schools and colleges, and closely as­ sociated with these in the- provinces, officials of thfe Dominion Department of Agriculture—field men, inspectors, district officers and staffs of Domin­ ion experimental Farms—have a wealth of information. It would be, wise to consult with them this fall.” CANADIAN APPLESThe apple is the king of fruits andits food value is high, one largeapple alone providing 100 calories. Under ordinary circumstances, the annual average export of apples from Canada is approximately two and a quarter million barrels out of an average annual crop of more than 5,000,000 barrels. This year’s crop is estimated at 5,135,000 barrels, but owing to the probable drastic curtailment of shipping as a result of the war, it will consequently be necessary to find a larger market for apples in Canada. Apples are good food at any time either as fresh fruit or cooked in the variety of ways they can be used in the diet Following are some recipes taken from the pamphlet “Canadian Grown Apples” a copy of which may be obtained by writing to Publicity and Extension Division, Dominion De­ partment of Agriculture. Canned Apple Sauce Any amount of apples may ue used. In making the sauce, use 1-2 cup of sugar and 3-4 cup of cold water to every ten apples. Wipe, quarter, core, and pare sour Can­ adian-grown apples; add the water and cook until the apples begin to grow soft; press through a strainer. Fill in hot sterile glass jars; seal tightly. Sterilize 5 minutes. his apple sauce will keep as well as any other canned fruit Sweeten when using. Apple Chutney 12 sour Canadian apples 3 peppers—1 red 1 pint cider vinegar 1-2 cup currant jelly juice 4 lemons 1-4 teaspoon cayenne 1 mild onion 1 cup seeded, chopped raisins 2 cups sugar 1 tablespoon ground ginger 1 tablespoon salt Chop the apples, onion and pep­ pers very fine, add the vinegar and jelly, and let simmer 1 hour, stirring often; add the other ingredients and cook another hour, stirring constant­ ly. Store as canned fruit Baked Apple Sauce Fill a two-quart earthen pudding dish with alternate layers of sliced tart Canadian-grown apples and sugar; cover with water, place a cover over pudding dish and bake in slow oven two or three hours, being careful to add a little water if re­ quired. Deep Apple Pie Line a deep pie dish With paste. Pare core, and chop 1 quart of tart apples; mix with them 1 cup granu­ lated sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon flour and a pinch of salt and fill the pie dish. Dot with small pieces of butter and sprinkle with cinnamon. Lay 1-2 inch strips of pastry across the top, crossing them in diamond shape. Bake in moderate oven until the apples are tender.- .
