Debating Chib Held Their Second Debate The second debate of the year of the I. C. I. debating club was held on Wednesday, January 17th, in Form 9B. This meeting was presided over by the vice-president, Ethelwyn Daniel. The subject of the debate, was “Resolved: that Great Britain has contributed more to the advan­ tage of the Dominions than the Do­ minions have contributed to Great Britain.” The affirmative was upheld by Grace Fairbanks and Shirley Law, negative by Jean Morgan and Ruby Scott The point* on both side* were ex­ ceptionally well organized and the en­ unciation was excellent The affirm­ ative dwelt pn the liberty given Can­ ada by Great Britain and also on the fact that Canada is sending troops to Great Britain although she is not obligated to do so. The latter is a proof that Canada is thanking Great Britain for the many things she has done for Canada. The negative dwelt on the amount of war materials the Dominions ex­ port to Great Britain and the avia­ tors which are being trained here. The judges, Hazel Palmer, Douglas Barrow and Margaret Phinn gaye the decision to the negative. A vote of thanks to the debaters and the judges was then moved by Jack Shecter and approved by the meet­ ing.

NEW FORD TRACTOR IS DISPLAYED HERE Ingersoll District Farmers will have an opportunity of seeirtg the new Ford tractor with Ferguson wheeltess implement* today. This rev­ olutionary new power farming unit is being shown across Canada in all dealers’ showrooms and is displayed here by McVittie & Shelton Limited, local Ford dealer. "This tractor and its implements give farmers the greatest advance in farming equipment in many years. Designed to make farming easier, it” also increases production and lower* operating costs/’ said Mr. Samuel L. Shelton, president of McVittie & Shelton, Limited. Describing the new tractor, Mr. Shelton pointed out that it combines ' light weight with great strength of construction and power. It weighs approximately 2,000 pounds and handles two 14-inch ploughs m average soils. Gampact and versatile, it prqyides power for all types of farm work such as ploughing, till­ age, row-crop cultivation, belt wo«k anti the operation of combines and other machines from a power take­ off. "It is necessary to see this tractor in action to understand just what >t will mean to Canadian fanners. The unique coupling of the imple­ ments creates the necessary traction. The hydraulic mechanism is controll­ ed by a handy lever which is used to raise or lower the implements and to keep them in the soil at a predeterm­ ined depth while working,” said Mr. Shelton. "The tractor and implements have been thoroughly tested in practical farm work during the past year. Remarkable results have been achiev­ ed with an average fuel consumption) of only one. gallon of gasoline ah hour while ploughing and doing other heavy work. Public demonstrations will be arranged on district farms as soon as the weather permits. In the mean­ time farmers are invited to see the tractor and implements in the show­ rooms.

JANUARY 25th, 1940 Tin Is The Rarest of Common Metals In this machine age tin has come into great prom­ inence. It is the rarest of the common metal- Romans and Phoenicians used to travel to ancient Britain to trade the silks of China, the cottons of India and the frankincense and myrrh and spices of Araby for the tin of Cornwall. Other things too, of course. But Cornwall ha/ lost its leadership in production and we hear more about the tin mines of Bolivia and British Malaya, and from these and other countries comes the main Canadian supply for all those canned goods that decorate the shelves of the grocer. Tin is known to occur in the Snowflake and Sulli­ van mines in British Columbia and in certain pegma­ tites in southeastern Manitoba. It has also been re­ ported at New Ross, Nova Scotia. No tin ore deposits have beqn worked or tin ore production recorded in Canada during recent years., The Nova Scotia De­ partment of Public Works and Mines reported that some prospecting was performed in 1938 on an oc­ currence of molybdenum and tin in the New Ross Area, Lunenburg County. World mine production of tin decreased 30 per cent in 1938 compared with 1937. Much of the di­ cline was absorbed by countries signatory to the International Tin Control scheme, their output being decreased 33 per cent compared with only 10 per cent for the nonsignatory countries. British Malaya con­ tinued to be the largest producer and contributed 29 per cent of the total world output. Bolivia ranked second with 17 per cent, Netherland India third with 14 per cent, Siam fourth with 9 per cent and China fifth with 8 per cent. The output of the unrestricted producers comprised 19 per cent of the total pro­ duction in 1938, compared with 15 per cent in 1937. As considerable tin enters world trade in the form of ore, geographical data on world smelter output differs materially from those of mine output For example, nearly all ore from Bolivia and Nigeria is smelted in Europe. An appreciable part of the tin ore from Netherland India is smelted in the Nether­ lands and the product of -Siam and Indo-China is smelted in British Malaya. The only commercial tin ore smelter in the Western Hemisphere is in .Argen­ tina, and its output has increased somewhat in re- • cent years. Germany (including Austria) produces little tin; and despite major efforts to provide sub­ stitutes, appAent consumption increased from 9,161 tons in 1936 to 13,474 in 1938. The acquisition of Czecholslovakia increased Germany's dependence on imported tin, as consumption there has averaged over 1,600 tons annually from 1936 to 1938, pith little or no local production. Germany in 1938 imported 6,412 tons of tin ore, mainly from Bolivia, but a little from German South West Africa and Argentina. Also ,12,090 tons of crude, scrap and a]Joys, mainly as follows: Nether­ lands India 4,044 tons, Netherlands 3,998, British Malaya 1,732- China 764, United Kingdom 689. Mr. and Mrs. William Wilford, Concession street, Ingersoll, on Friday, January 19th, 1917, celebrated the diamond jubilee of their marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Wilford are of English and Scotch birth respectively. They were married in 1857 and a few years later came to Canada and settled on concession number two in Dereham Township, where their 100 acre farm was then valued at two dollars per acre. Wilford’s marriage was blessed with nine children, -even of whom were living in 1917: Mrs. T. Caddy, Dorchester; Mrs. S. Facey, Welbum; Mrs. A. Bur­ rell, Ingersoll; John of Ingersoll; Neil of Palmerston; William of Salford and James of Holbrook, also forty grandchildren and ten greatgrandchildren.

Paterson, Wm. Ryan and W. C. Johnston. Three new members to the Board for the year are: Messrs. W, C. Johnston, Wm. Ryan and Dennis Howe. Robert A. Webber of East Zorra, wns elected Warded of Oxford County for the year 1917. The War and The Kilt Scotsmen and Scotswomen all over the world will feel a twinge of disappointment when’they hear , that this workaday war has caused the War Office in England to abolish the wearing of -the kilt in all kilted regiments, and to substitute the unromantic battle dress. Always the symbol of the daring heroism of Scot­ tish’ regiments, the kilt was worn during the last war, but with the addition of a khaki apron as camouflage when going into action. Although now banned when on duty, even in training, officers and men at home or overseas will still be allowed to wear the kilt when off duty or on leave.' ‘ Tartan manufacture is an important section of the woollen industry, for apart from Scotland's own re­ quirements, there is hardly a corner of the earth where the colours of some of the 96 different Clans are not proudly worn, either in the kilt or ns scar'cs, ties and otherwise, by men and women of Scottish birth .or descent. "Eight yards of tartan are required to make a Silt for a man,” said a Scots tailoring expert. "The abol­ ition of the kilt for war sendee is likely to stimulate the demand for it among Scojs ‘exiles’ throughout the Empire, who will thus be able to ‘keep the flag flying'. The decline of Army orders will make greater sup-- plies available for sending overseas.” Mayor Buchanan and Councillor Mayberry were present at the meeting of the County Council today.

Then it seems the ans­ wer to what is needed to make a better democracy must be a "better people.” Is it possible to have a better democracy while our moral standards become unstable, and our ideals more material? Can we even maintain a democracy unless we are educating our people to higher standards and more righteous ideals: rightr education in our. schools and colleges, through our churches and organizations by theaters, radio and newspapers. What is right education? It is giving our people a standard by which to measure their thoughts and acts. One which tells them right from wrong, good from evil, truth from error, and teaches them how to use it in everyday life. No system can improve while the individuals which go" to make it up are not improving. They muat learn each day more of good and use it. Mr. and Mrs. George Smith have gone to Califor­ nia to spend the remainder of the winter.

HEALTH IN NEW ZEALAND New Zealand has the reputation of being a very healthy country. Its infantile deathrate is about the low ­ est in the world. Its women have ex­ cellent pre-natal eye. The medical and nursing professions are equal to anything found elsewhere. , Recent information throws some doubt on the usually accepted health conditions prevailing amongst our cousins on the other ride of the world. For one thing, the New Zeal­ anders do not consume a proper balance of the protective foods, that is meat, fish, milk, eggs, fruits and vegetables. Most of the protective foods are fairly expensive and in con­ sequence meat is the main first class protein used and the diet is bulked with white bread, cakes, caae sugar and tea. The New Zealandero are the largest meat eaters in the world, (about 250 pounds a head annually). The average daily consumption of food is as follows: Sugar 6 to 7 ounces, red meat one pound, white flour 1-2 a pound, milk two-thirds of a pint, egg one-third, cheese one- third an ounce- and from two to three ounces of butter. Most of the milk is taken by adults in tea and the egg in cake. The evidence available shows that 97% of school children have dental caries and 50% of the people have false teeth. One in every 20 persons is in 'hospital every year chiefly for such complaints as appendicitis, diseased tonsils and goitre. The adult population suffers considerably from digestive com­ plaints, rheumatism and neuritis. Most of the children maintain good health until about the 8th to the 10th year after which milk, cod-liver oil and orange juice are cut down and their place taken by refined starches. By the time children are going to -school dental decay has begun though this has been to some extent checked by a supply, in the last two years, of a daily half pint of milk. New Zealand eats too much pastry and cakes. The tea-drinking habits are the surprise of visitors. There is great need, as here, in education in the basic principles of nutrition. AMERICAN WOMEN GETTING THINNER Thd interesting monthly Bulletin of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company says that American women (presumably this includes Canadian women) are getting thinner. The Bulletin claims that this result is due chiefly to the incessant propa­ ganda with which the public has in recent years been bombarded on the perils of obesity. This propaganda was based on certain studies of Ijealth and longevity of persons in 'the various weight groups, which showed an excessive proportion of -illness and death among overweight individuals. This excess was due largely to the premature develop­ ment of chronic degenerative diseases of the heart, kidneys and circulatory system generally and to diabetes. While underweights were found to suffer a high mortality from tuber­ culosis and pneumonia, the degree of excess mortality among them was small as compared with*that arising from degenerative diseases among overweights. The balance was entire­ ly in favour of underweights and in­ creasingly so with advancing age. These sound reasons for keeping weight down were further reinforced for women by the dictates of fashion The athletic figure for women has be­ come very popular, but neither the “Hollywood diet” nor the effect of weight reducing drugs have had much effect in producing the de­ sired result. Indeed, while most of drugs are ineffective and harmless inthis respect, some are quite harmful. “The change in the diet of women, has, on the whole been useful. It is now based,, not on quantitative cal­ oric needs, but on -qualitative needs which emphasises the value of the “protective” foods, those relatively rich in vitamins and minerals. These include the bulky, leafy vegetables of low caloric value as well as milk, eggs, fruits and moderate quantities of meat and fish. The decline in the average weight of, women is a con­ dition that augurs well for the future health of our people; it is a tribute to popular health education. , She—‘‘Here’s a wonderful thing. I’ve just been reading of a man who reached the age of forty without learning how to read or write. Ho met a woman and for her sake he made a scholar of himself in two 'ears.” He—“Thnt’a nothing! I know a man who wu * profound scholar at forty. He met a woman, and for her sake he made a fool of himself in two days.” here.... a $10.00 deposit for this young Brown starts the third generation of Browns at the Bank of Montreal.’’ Z BANK OF MONTREAL Ingersoll Branch: A. YULE, Manager . Beachville (Sub-Agency): Open Tuesday and Friday CANADIAN LEGION WAR SERVICES Now that the 1st Division of the Canadian Active Service ’Force is safely encamped at Aldershot, the activities of the overseas organiza­ tion of The Canadian Legion War Services are gaining satisfactory momentum. A. E. “Jack” Moore, of Winnipeg, who beaded the vanguard of Legion officers-to England, is 'busy with his colleagues putting into operation the various welfare facilities undertaken by the C.L.W-.S. fof the benefit of the Dominion’s armed forces. Rigid censorship imposed, of nec­ essity, by the British Authorities naturally restricts to a minimum the volume of news from abroad but sufficient has been received to indi­ cate that the Legion already is an in­ fluential factor in the lives of the new troops. made for providing education facil­ ities for the boys now in England and in the near future, Robert England of Winnipeg, director of overseas ed­ ucation services and Lieut-Col. Hughes DeMartigny, of Montreal, associate director, will proceed to the Old Country to get that branch of the Legion’s war work under way. British and French education auth­ orities are fully supporting the work of its services, although all its activi­ ties ard- being carried out with the primary intention of helping’ win the war itself. Rehabilitation, in which the Legion has had more than twen­ ty years' experience based on the first 6reat War, is so closely tied up with educatidn, however, that what­ ever can be done to teach the men skilled trades and professions will (naturally be of inestimable value so that the men will be able to con-. after hostilities have ceased and the tinue studies no matter where they I forces return to resume lif use civil- may be stationed. The Legion rea-1 ians. lizes, of course, that the primary purpose of the.armed, forces is to win the war and that all auxiliary services must be provided in such a way as to contribute rather than to distract from this end. Definite constituencies, therefore, have been planned to in­ clude areas behind lines of fire, at leave centres, convalescent hospitals, and in neutral countries where Can­ adians might be interned as prisoners of war. Wars, unfortunately, create an unhealthy philosophy and many men are prone to believe that because they are on active service they stand but slim chances of coming back. Statistics prove this to be wrong. The majority of our men will return and in the meantime they must be encouraged to look ahead and plan for the future. The granting of honorary member­ ship in the Canadian Legion to all of­ ficers and men of the forces has been warmly applauded by the veter­ ans of the last war, both by those whom physical incapacities and age have kept at home and by those who again have joined the colors. ^_The young fighting men themselves have expressed appreciation of The Leg­ ion’s gesture and there is no doubt that, as a result, an even happier association will be enjoyed between the old warriors and their younger comrades to whom war is a new ex­ perience. 4 The C.L.W.S. overseas pen>qnal services officer has been particularly busy since the arrival of the ,1st Division and hundreds of men at Aidershot have sought advice and guidance of problems of all kinds. Another busy official is Captain Mert Plunkett, supervisor of C*L.W.S. sol­ dier concert parties, who is keeping the wheel of entertainment revolving to the delight of all. Captain Plunkett, an old soldier and showman, is known to the leading lights of the British show world and since his arrival has been renewing acquaintances of stage and screen. The result of his visits in London will take concrete form on January 21 when a monster entertainment will be presented at Aldershot tor the Canadian forces. Such famous entertainers as Beatrice Lillie, Jack Buchanan, Fred Emney and Leslie Honson will take part in the pro­ gram and they will be supported by the entire chorus of the stage' hit, ’‘All Clear," now running at the Queen’s Theatre in London. Captain Plunkett himself will be master of ceremonies. The C.L.W.S. rightly considers its education work the most important Subscriber (about to place a long distance’call)—‘‘Can’t you make a special price for just listening? I want to call my wife.” " wIFe didn’t know whether or not he was coming LONG DISTANCE . . . just to show he hadn’t forgotten us.” And bo it goes. Long Distance is the i single man’s answer to many \ n"l \ a problem—and the married man’s shortest road home. Always at your service wherever you may be.

His beautiful harp-like cadences were heard in “Cantique d’ Amour.” A haunting melody sustain­ ed thro’ a maze of brilliant technique as in “Etude in D Flat,” is another characteristic composition. “Hungar­ ian Rhapsody” No. 6, is typical of the style, which is the delight of concert pianists endowed with an amazing dexterity of execution. His dignified ecclesiastical form ^unique in “Ave Maria.” No programme would be complete without his well-loved “Liebestraume" No. 3, (“Dreams OfLove”) which was heard both as a piano and vocal solo.

In Re­view of Work Since Parks Board Formed Here. Members of the Board of Parks Management, formed last year, after a vote of electors showed the major­ ity of Ingersoll ratepayers favoring a Parks Board for the town, com­ pleted their first year’s activities on Wednesday evening last. The Chairman, George H. Mason and another member of the Board acted as hosts to their colleagues, employees, officials and press at a turkey dinner in the lovely new ban­ quet hall of the St. Charles Hotel Coffee Shop. Following the sumptuous banquet, the chairman of the Board of Parks Management. George H. Mason, took charge of the proceedings. A brief summary of the work of the Board since its formation last Spring, was given by James R. Spaven, the secretary. Mr. Spaven pointed out that while a great deal of money had not been spent, there were many accomplishments to show that the Board had secured full value for all their expenditures. The grounds at Memorial Park had been cleaned up. A nursery with over 5000 trees was planted on the east side of the creek that runs through the Memorial Park. The softball dia­ mond was changed, an addition was built to the swimming pool and a wading pool for the smaller children, and the pools completely fenced off. New toilets were built near the swim­ ming pools. Shelves were added in the kitchen and other improvements made at Memorial Park. A number of improvementc were also made at Victoria Park. The baseball diamond was put in splendid shape, the race track was widened and graded and a new high board fence erected along the west side of the grounds. Donations by business firms and individuals of materials and labour was acknowledged and the opinion expressed that the Board of Parks Management had accomplished a great deal at a small cost to the corporation. The fW r beds at the entrances to town and other beauti­ fication work near the Thames street bridge was also done by the Parks Board. Fifty reunions and picnics were held at the park during 1939 by organisations or groups who had applied to the Board for reAsrvution of the grounds in addition to a num­ ber of others that were held there without making reservations and it was stated that 14 picnics hsd al­ ready been booked for 1940. The work of the caretaker, Charles Guil­ ford, was highly praised. The members of the Parks Board, Henry I. Stewart, Chairman of Mem­ orial Park; James N. iHenderson, Chairman of Victoria Park; W. W. Wilford, Chairman of Registrations and A. P. Barker, Chairmaft of the Shrubs and Flowers, gave verbal re­ ports in addition to the report of Mr. Spavtn and the review of the work of the board by Mr. Mason. Charles Guilford, caretaker of the Parks, Wallace Phillips, special pol­ iceman for Victoria Park, Ex-Mayor Alex. H. Edmonds, Emerson Moul­ ton, President of the Ingersoll Fair Bo«rd, J. T. Fitzgerald, representing the Sentinel-Review and J. Ferris David, The Ingersoll Tribune, were called on for a few words during the evening. The feeling of the members of the Parks Board that by carefully plan­ ning their work and program for several years ahead they would eventually be able to make many improvements to the Ingersoll Parks and generally supervise a beautifica­ tion scheme for the town. The pre­ sident of the Fair Board made sever­ al suggestions in regards to changes that could be made at Victoria Park for very little cost that would be a help to the Fair Board and other or­ ganizations that made use of the park. It was pointed out that the bequest from the estate of the late Mr. J. H. Thomas, had provided the funds for the addition to the swim­ ming pool an other work at Memorial Park. A shelter of some kind that would accommodate 150 to 200 people in case of bad weather when they had the park for a picnic, was urged as a necessity for Memorial Park if Ingersoll hoped^Xo bring people from the surrounding districts to Inger­ soll for their annual family re-unions or picnics. The efforts of the Parks Board was lauded by several of the speakers and the members were highly com­ mended for the great amount of work they had done during their first year. Tribute was paid to Mr. and Mrs. Gus Morello and their ^taff for the fine banquet and to the mem­ ber of the board who provided the turkey and supplied the dinner. In concluding the banquet, Chair­ man Mason asked the press to point out to the public that the members of the Parks Board were desirous of doing the things the public wished to have done. Re-emphasized the .fact that the mepbers would appreciate suggestions and he wanted the public to feel that the Board had their in­ terests at heart at all times and were anxious to see things accomplished that would be of a lasting nature and a credit to the town over a period of years.

EMERSON MOULTONRE-ELECTED INGERSOLLFAIR BOARD PRESIDENTAnnual Meeting of Ingersoll,” North and West Oxford Agricultural Society Re­ viewed Work of Past Year. Fair Was Most Successful, But Financial Returns Be­ low Previous Year. Annua IMeetin go ngersoll The annual meeting of the Inker­ roll, North and West Oxford Agri­ cultural Society was held ■ in the council chamber, here on Wednes­ day afternoon, January 17th. The general concensus of opinion as ex­ pressed by those in attendance was that the 1939 Fair had been prob­ ably one of the most successful in the history of the society, although the financial returns had not been as large as in some previous years. Emphasis was placed on the fact that in most of the classes there had been keen competition and the work of the judges had been very difficult. Changes were suggested in certain sections of the prize list that could be made without sacrificing the ap­ peal to exhibitors, and also in regard to the program that should be pro­ vided for the entertainment of Fair Day visitors. It was mentioned that considerable interest had been created >by the ex­ hibit of the Kiwanis Bai’s' Calf Club and that work similar to this might still be encouraged in some other respects as a means of creating a deeper interest both in the town and throughout the rural districts. During the period of discussion frequent references were made to the fact that it had always been the aim of the Society to provide a first-class agricultural Fair. It was mentioned that Dr. G. I. Christie, President of the Ontario Agricultural Society who was pres­ ent on the second day of the Fair, had been deeply impressed, not only with the splendid grounds, but the general indications that the fair was in the strictest sense of the term an "agricultural fair." In the horse department, it was stated that among the animals exhi­ bited were a number that had been winners at some of the larger exhi­ bitions. The livestock in the show­ rings was a feature attraction as was evidenced by the crowds that gathered during the period devoted to judging. The officers and directors gener­ ally, in view of the high standard of the Fair last year, viewed the futuie in a determined and, optimistic man­ ner and no efforts will be spared in connection with this year’s activity. Those who took part in the discus­sion were President Emerson Boul­ ton, first vice-president AJex. Rose, second vice-president C. C. Gill, past president, S. A. Gibson, Byron G. Jenvey, Geo. Currie, Don. Mackenzie, Verne Meek, R. J. Kerr, W. W, Ban­ bury, Gordon Sandick, Jas. Hanlon, Jr., Harry Little, Bernie Zurbrigg and Leopard Hunt. President Moulton remained in the chair for the period devoted to or­ ganization for the present year. The officers and directors of 1939 were re-elected for 1940 as follows: President, Emerson Moulton; 1st vice-president, Alex. Rose; second vice-president, C. C. Gill; Directors: Ingersoll, S. A Gibson, B. G. Jenvey, Bernie Zurbrigg, L. P. Cook, Don. Mackenzie; West Oxford, Verne bjeek, J. F. Way, Geo. Currie, H. Barnett, A. D. Robinson; Dereham, H. Little, A. Groves, H. Ellery; North Oxford, Gordon Sandick, R. J. Kerr, W. W. Banbury, Jas. Hanlon, Jr. The honorary presidents arc:— Mayor Dr. J. G. Murray. Hon. P. M. Dewan, M.P.P.; A. S. Rennie, M.P., Warden Hugh Harris, E. A'. Wilson and F. H. Stone. Geo. F. Janes was re-appointed secretary-treasurer and E. H. Hugill and Harley Mayberry were re-ap­ pointed auditors. President Moulton was appointed delegate to the annual convention of the Ontario Fairs Asso­ ciation in Toronto in February. A motion was adopted that the society affiliate with the Oxford County Chamber of Agriculture. ^Following his re-election as presi­ dent, Mr. Moulton thanked the board for their continued confidence and emphasized his willingness to dis­ charge his duties to the best of his ability. He also called upon al! the Winter’s not over yet . .. not by a long shot! You’ll still have to guard against freeze-ups, slippery pave­ ments, and run-down batteries.

Deputy District Governor, Charles Bennett, Paris, introduced the guest speaker, District Governor pill Carroll, principal of the Mitchell High School and his District Secre­ tary, Arthur W. Blowes. District Governor Carroll gave a very inspir­ ing address. In opening he said he had come through the horse and buggy days himself and realized that we are living in an age of change. He congratulated the Ingersoll Club on the fine record they had made dur­ ing their first year and on their en­ deavor to make every visitor feel at home. Five main points touched upon during his brief talk were Member­ ship, Number and Quality of Mem­ bers, Attendance at Club Meetings, knowledge of the workings of the local and international organization, activities that might be undertaken and an appeal for the members to co­ operate with the other organizations in the community in doing worth while things. The speaker urged the ciub mem­ bers to co-operate among themselves within the club if they hoped to achieve success in any activities that the club might decide to dndertake. He touched upon the work of eye­ sight conservation which was one of the objectives already undertaken by the Ingersoll and Woodstock Clubs and he declared that Such work among the younger generations would stand as a tribute to the efforts of Lions Clubs, long after many of Mrs. Hugh McMillanTaken By DeathThe death occurred on Sundayevening, January 21st, of Annie Mc­Niven, widow of the late Hugh Mc­Millan, at the residence of her brother, Archie P.

Scramb­ led, poached, cooked-in-the-shell. or as an omelet, good fresh eggs make an appeal to the most fastidious taste. Combined with other foods, eggs may be used for a great number of desserts and supper dishes, and in making cakes and cookies, eggs are one of the principal ingredients. There is now no guess work in buying eggs, as they are sold graded according to Government standards as to quality and size. In order of quality the grades are Grade Al Grade A, Grade B and Grade C. ’ The Consumer Service Section, Marketing Service, Dominion De­ partment of Agriculture recommends ' the following tested recipes: E<f and Potato Casterole 4 tablespoons butter 4 tablespoons flour 2 cups milk 4 cups cooked potatoes, cubed 6 hard-cooked eggs, sliced Salt, pepper and paprika Melt butter.

Mr. Carroll made mention to the increasing number of Service Clubs that are being organized in the smaller communities and told of sev­ eral instances where'some outstand­ ing accomplishments had been made by such clubs, that were giving something to their communities that previously had been lacking. New Lions Clubs, he stated, had been formed at Palmerston, Harriston, Arthur and Milverton in his District A-l since last September and the membership of the district had in­ creased to about 1400 members and 35 clubs. The suggestion was also advanced by the speaker that meet­ ings be held in the surrounding rural communities to let the people of those districts know .the work that Lions Clubs are doing. In concluding he appealed to the members to give their best e (Torts to the club and be punctual in their attendance. « Lion L. A.

Joey's voice trailed off on a dis­ couraged note; but picked up quicklyin defense of Matt’s mistaken judg­ment“Ye see, it was an old will Mattwas aimin' to make a new one buthe never got around to it.’*Joey smothered a sigh and went back to his pans Lee stayed for a moment longer in the doorway, star­ing out at the thickening dusk withthoughtfully narrowed eyes. Yes, itwas pretty clear that the shrewd oldjudge was not advising Virginia.Maybe he'd better drop in and see the Judge himself.He did full justice to Joey's meal. summer season. It was a cottage only by comparison with the morepretentious places nearby and thegreat estates along the shore road,and it was more expensive than theT. Ellison Archers could afford, butit was in the heart of a fashionable summer colony, and Mrs. Archerwas not the woman to neglect herduty* toward a marriageable niece,especially where duty and personalcomfort marched side by side soagreeably. In the safe seclusion of her room she sighed a little-over the task ofbalancing accounts that were muchtoo heavy on the debit side. FiguresWere so depressingly obstinate, butafter all most of the bills were reallyVirginia's, and the ranch sale would attend to them. Mrs. Archer bright­ ened visibly. There was no doubt in her mindthat she had done well by her sister’schild. To be sure, there had been at first an intractable streak in Virginia, a vigor of speech and action, a habitof making friends of quite impossiblepeople which had caused her auntsome anxiety, but the vigor hadtoned into a careless composure, atylMrs. Archer had diplomatically cen­ sored Virginia's friends for sixyears. Now she could sit back andview her far front unpaid labors withcomplacency. Virginia was a suc­cess. She was young, beautiful and popular. She could dance all night and be as bright-eyed as a kitten thenext day; she had been assiduously'trained in every art and accomplish­ment that social success might de­mand. In Mrs. Archer's heart therewas a secret relief that her brother- in-law's tragic death had removedthe last link between Virginia andthe appalling place that had beenher home. Virginia must not bewasted there. She must marry well.It was necessary, for more reasons • than one. And Virginia, for the past fewmonths, had been unusually docileAfter her first passionate outburstof grief and self-reproach that shehad not been with her father, andthe days of haunted restlessness which had followed in that place ofmemories, she had dropped into anindifferent acquiescence with heraunt’s plans.Already Mrs. Archer was plan­ning to spend the next winter at On the edge of Joey's bunk Leesat very still "Ye don’t s’pose Honey would ktanybody jump my claim, do ye,Lee?” "No," said Lee flatly. “This isyour claim as long as you want tokeep it.

They were long milts from the nearest water hole, and Matt was twice Joey’s sizeand unconscious part of the way,but somehow, coaxing, cursing, pull­ing. dragging, with grudging helpfrom a small and resentful burro,the wiry little prospector had stag­gered through with him to waterand safety. And from that day whatwas Matt Blair's was Joey’s.And so, drifting one time to theValley of the Sun, Joey had stayed.Inveterate old prospector that hewas, he had at once begun puttering around for gold. Joey had located a fairly promising streak in the ' ratine.“It's yours," raid Matt Blair. “You stake your claim anywhere aroundhere that you want."So Joey had staked his claim,carefully and conscientiously, givingMatt a painstaking diagram of itslimits, but the whole ravine hadbeen Joey's from that day.Lee turned back to Joe/ abruptly. “Nobody’s going to jump your claim, Joey. If anybody tries it, youlet me know and I'll take him apart.And the Circle V isn't going to besold—not yet I’m going east tobring Virginia back.” "Now, Lee, you be carefull" Joey An hour later the last crumb was Palm Beach.

SOYBEANS AND AGE Investigations into the effect of age on the vitality of soybean seed are reported in the December issue of Scientific Agriculture, edited by the Canadian Society of Technical Agri­ culturists. If soybean seed is not more than 3 years old, it will germ­ inate satisfactorily, although there is a slight advantage in favour of new seed. Four-year-old seed showed considerable weakness, while seed older than that was so low in vitality as to be unfit for sowing. The few plants that grew from 5 and 6 year old seed were weak and slow in com­ ing up. Eight-year-old seed failed to produce a single plant.

How­ ever, with a little patience and strategy, such shots are not dif­ ficult to get—and they certainly add interest and variety to your picture collection. . For a good picture of the pet, you need a large Image—and here Is where the portrait attachment comes In. Slip one of these on the camera lens, and you can take pic­ tures with a box camera as near as3 feet to the subject. Even nearer, if yours la a focusing model and you use the attachment. Naturally, you'll pick a moment when the pet is quiet. Bait is help­ful. For example, a saucer of milk to tempt the cat. Put the milk In the chosen spot, under your photo lights—place the camera exactlythe right distance away from the saucer—and as soon as the pet take* the bait, you're ready to shoot. For shots with photo bulbs of the “flood" type, load the cam­era with high speed film. Flash bulbs are often a help In ibooting pet pictures. The picture above is a "fiaah shot.” First, the camera was placed just the rightdistance from the dog. while he slept under the kitchen stove. The shutter waa set for a "time” ex­ posure. Then the photographerturned off the kitchen lights — opened the camera shutter—made a loud noise to awaken the dog—and flashed the flash bulb. Then Itwas necessary merely to close the shutter and wind the film for thenext shot. Thus, you see, you don't have to have a synchronizer for flash shots, although It’s a convenient device. Indoors, you can use the flash bulbin any electric socket Make sure, of count. that the light switch is in the “off” position before you in­ sert the bulb. For flash pictures,either chrome film or high speed film can be used, but you must have the light at the right dis­ tance from the subjectPets are excellent subjects for Indoor shots—and It would be fun. this winter, to.make a collection of picturew<elHjwjng your pet’s anticsand activities.
