A.. >X00 IffltANIS ice carnival WAS COLORFUL AFFAIR Good Crowd, Good Ice, Good Music, Good Prizes Contri­ buted To Success of Evening. Broom Ball Contest Most Exciting. The annual Skating Carnival spon­ sored by the Ingersoll Kiwanis Club at the Thayer Arena, on Friday cven- mg, February 23rd, was one of the most successful ever held by the club. The weatherman was at his best for such an affair and this was one of the reasons responsible for the large number of skaters. There was also a good crowd of spectators and the entertainment provided by the exhi­ bition broom ball game, between the Y’s Men’s Club team and the Inger­ soll Lions Club representatives, was well worth the admission price itself. Kiwanian Grant Small was the ref­ eree for this but little attention was paid his warnings and rulings as his toots and words could seldom be heard above the roars of the crowd. The game was a battle royal between the Y’s Men and the Lions Club, and score, we are told, ended in a tie. Kiwanian Arthur E. Izzard was chairman of the Carnival Committee and the judges of the evening were Mrs. Elizabeth D. Duff, Mrs. T. D. Maitland, Max Poole and George W. Lockhardt. Kiwanian Charles D. Daniel acted as master of ceremonies for the evening. ,, The many costumed skaters pre­ sented a colorful sight on the ice, which was reported by all to be ’ splendid for skating. The music by she Ingersoll Band was particularly good and delighted *the spectators as well as the skaters. The judges experienced consider­ able difficulty in selecting the win­ ners in several of the classes as there "were so many from which to choose.

The ensigns of 26 nations were seen in Canadian ports last year on cargo vessels that carried goods to the Dominion. In all there were 27,860 sea-going ships. Of course some came more than once. The total tonnage of these ships was 31,353,871. The British Commonwealth supplied by far the greatest contribution, 18,579 ships or visits of ships out of the 27,500, with a tonnage of 20,778,040. That reflects the British sovereignity in ocean carry­ ing across the seven seas. Of these 18,579 British ships, 13,841 were of Canadian registry and 4,738 British. Whose vessels came second to the British Common­ wealth in visits to Canada can be made a matter of argument. The United States sent 6,041 and Norway 1,442, but the United States vessels were smaller with a tonnage of 2,823,653 while that of the Norse carriers was 3,003,238. The -German vessels, numbering 305 with a ton­ nage of 955,307, were definitely in fourth place, and Japan came next with 134 of a tonnage of 771,549. Then follow vessels of other nationalities in alpha­ betical order: Austria one at 2,725 tons, Belgium, two at 3,860, China two at 7,272, Denmark 260 at 583,657, Estonia four at 5,968, Einland 28 at 51,83, France 97 at 187,943, Greece 150 at 481,153, Honduras three at 4,985, Hungary six at 16,332, Iceland 13 at 7,420, Italy 46 at 147,475, Latvia three at 8,045, Manchoukuo four at 15,575, Netherlands 158 at 690,- 918, Panama 12 at 49,266, Poland and Danzig 30 at 229,902, Portugal two at 682, St. Pierre nine at 530, Sweden 162 at 404,460, Yugoslavia 34 at 122,063. Addressing, Wrapping, Important in Sending Mail To Men Overseas The two big problems of the Army Postal Service are brought about by incorrect addressing and im­ proper wrapping nf parcels. Daily hundi-eds of letters and parcels arc delayed because of insufficient ad- dresring. In some cases the addressee can be located after some research. In others the letter or parcel has to be returned. In wrapping parcels it should be remembered that they will be subejet to much hand­ ling and therefore should be sturdily wrapped and bound. The following rule will prevent improper address­ ing: Rank, name, regiment, regimental number and unit of regiment. For instance: Private John Smith, 49th Highlanders, A12345, Trench Mortars, with Can­ adian Active Forces.

Changing Styles in Gas Masks Great Britain’s Royal Society of Arts informs us that the gas masks dates back to 1825, when it was invented by a miner named John Roberts, who earned through it a silver medal and £50. This simple mine labourer, interested only in the safety of his comrades below the surface, little realized the important role his gas mask was tn play in the civilized world al­ most a century later. The first gas mask consisted of a leather hood completely enveloping the head and rendered airtight at the neck by straps and a packing of wadding. The hood had two eye-holes, protected by glass or mica, and a breathing tube, the orifice of which was filled with moist sponge and covered over by a coarse wol* len cloth, the former intended to absorb harmful gases and the latter to eliminate solid particles such as those of smoke. As a further protection against smoke, which was the primary object of the first gas mask, the breathing tube was extended in a sort of trunk which hung down almost to the ground, where the air is always freer from smoke. The modern counterpart of this century-old respir­ ator is exactly the same in principle as the original. While the Canadian public knows little about gas masks, it is reassuring to know that certain people in the employ of our federal government know how to make them, assemble them and test them. They are doing this every day. Gas masks are assembled in one of the government’s inspection depots under the eyes of men and women trained to catch the slightest defect. A mask has just one purpose, to save a life. If it is defective when the test comes, a life is not saved. Actually the parts of the masks are in different Canadian factories. The rubber breathing tube comes fram a rubber factory, the air-tight goggles are made in optical plants and the web straps and fittings in other places. All parts come to one inspection depot where they are tested individually. Then they go through an assembly line, coming out completed masks, except for the chemical filter which takes the poison out of gas-laden air. Officials say the rejects on parts of gas masks are rnnall once manufacturers get into production on them. There Is no fooling with t/rejected mask. If it fails to pass inspection it ‘goA to the junk pile. Never does it go back for fixing/up. In the army every mask gets \further test when it is issued to a soldier, who puts ft on and enters a chamber filled with tear gas. This test also gives the wearer confidence in his appliance, because he is also given a taste 6f tear-gas without the mask. A most distressing accident occurred at Thamesford Monday afternoon in which Mrs. D. M. McKay of that village, lost her legs and was taken to the Woodstock Hospital where she died some hours later. She fell between the train and station platform when alight­ ing from the 1.30 train from Chatham.

Ontario’s Debt To The Navy When Canadian naval defence is mentioned, the Ontario citizen usually thinks of it in terms of our ocean porta. ■Yet Ontario is as truly dependent upon naval de­ fence-as either Nova Scotia or British Columbia— not against life and property itself within this provl face but against Ontario’s property at sea. The ships that sail the seven seas carry Canadian Exports, and Canada is among the leading nations of the world in foreign trade. Canada’s important export business is, to a large extent, made up of products from the interior. Besides natural products Ontario manufacturers , of all kinds are shipped across the Atlantic and Pacific, and in fact Ontario’s industrial expansion is due, in a considerable degree, >to this export trade. The employment of thousands of Ontario men, therefore, depends upon the safety of the merchant marine. Naval defence is essential to sustaining On­ tario’s* industrial progress. These thoughts are brought to mind when the cause of the men who serve in the navy and mer­ chant vessels is advocated by’the Navy League of Canada, for these men regard not only our shores but our goods at sea. The Navy League, therefore, is ren­ dering * unique service to the people of Ontario, Just as much as to the people who live within range of a F. E. Dynes of Edmonton, called on friends in town last Friday, on his way from New York. Sir Edmund Walker of Toronto, will address the Canadian Club at the Ingersoll Inn on Friday evening. Miss Ada Capstick spent the week-end at her home in Dorchester. Mrs. Roy Meek is spending a few weeks with her parents in Toronto. Rev. D. W. Best was presented with a substantial purse of money by James Cuthbert, while D. G. Cuthbertson read ah address conveying to him the hearty appreciation of the people of S t Paul's Church for his services, as minister during the absence of Rev. Ronald Macleod on active service. About 200 people were in attendance at the gathering which1 was held in 5?t. Paul’s Church lecture room on Tues­ day evening. German measlesare the order of the day. Last Sunday was Bible Society Day in Ingersoll, when special addresses were given by Rev. Dr. Gibton, General Secretary of the society, and Rev. M. 8. Munro, * Japanese divinity student of Wycliffe Col­ lege, Toronto. OUR DUTY AS CITIZENS A victorious conclusion of the pre­ sent conflict depends not alone on the armed strength and mechanized superiority of the Allied powers. It depends not alone on vastness of manpower, capacity for endless pro­ duction of Wartime necessities, the invincibility of the navy, the army, the air force. Behind our 16-inch guns, oar heavy field artillery and our fast bombing planes there are men—men who a tew months ago followed peacetime pursuits, were a part of the tremen­ dous, pulsating entity that w? cail Canada. They were our fathers, our brothers, and our sons. Today, these men—Canadian citi­ zens who have taken their leave from society for a few month* or a few years—have assumed another task. They are girding themselves for war, a war that is to determine whether or not we are to be free to live as individuals, free to worship as we wish, free to think and do as w* have teen accustomed. For this freedom, which many of them may not live to enjoy, they arc making courageous sacrifices. Volun­ tarily and with no thought of per­ sonal gain, they have given up their hume life, jobs and social pleasures. And they know the grim duty that lies ahead, the inevitable thinning of their ranks. How can we, who remain at home to keep the wheels of industry re­ volving, make our contribution— small though the largest may be in comparison—to the cause for which our men are fighting? The answer is simple: The accumulative effect of our nickles and *dimes can have a tre­ mendous bearing on the welfare and csprit-de-corps of those who have marched away, can ensure that when they return they will fit into life as useful, self-sustaining citizens and not, as was the case of their older comrades of twenty years ago, men thrown back into a society which was new and strange to them. Our nickles and dimes can pro­ vide them with the kind of entertain­ ment and diversion that will keep up their morale and fighting spirit, with­ out which defeat would be inevitable and the millions of dollars that are being spent on munitions and arma­ ments would be wasted. No wars have been won by men who lacked morale. The Canadian Legion War Ser­ vices has in operation today, both at home and overseas, a program of work that opens avenues where civ­ ilians may make contributions of in­ estimable value to our armed forces. Its education efforts, by means of which it is providing the men with opportunities to fit themselves for their return, is alone worthy of gen­ erous support. Its services by means nf entertainment, personal guidance and help, recreation and so on are equally deserving. All this week the Legion is appeal­ ing for the-s ipport of Canadians to enable continuation and, indeed, ex­ pansion of this important welfare work. Five hundred thousand dollars —less than five cents from every person in the Dominion—is needed to carry on. Here, then, is an opopr- tunity for every Canadian, at no sac­ rifice whatever, to play his part. By giving to the Legion, we are giving to our fighting men. Few greater contributions can be made, not only toward helping to win the war itself, but toward paving the way for a more prosperous democracy. Therein lies our duty. Debate Held at S. A. Youth Group Meeting A most interesting program was featured at the regular meeting of the Youth Group of the Salvation Army at the citadel on Wednesday evening last A debate was staged and the subject, "Resolved that wom­ en are more extravagant than men,” was most interesting and highly amusing. Those taking part in the debate were William Langdown and Sid Pittock for the affirmative and Mrs. P. Groom -.and Miss Marjorie Langdown for the negative. The judges, A. H. Edmonds and Mrs. James Cooper, gave the decision in favor of the negative. William Langdown was in charge of the pro­ gram. An invitation was accepted" from Mrs, Charles Foster, to bold the next meeting at her home, King street west They were having a board meeting of a firm in the city, when the secre­ tary ran in and said the office boy had pinched half the petty cash. "Disgraceful!” and “Shocking!*' and "Disgusting!” some of the mem­ bers said. But the* chairman said, “Remember gentlemen, we all had to start In a small way*” INGERSOLL’S TAX RATEGETS BIG REDUCTIONCouncil Set Rate at 38 MillsFor 1940, A Cut of Two and One Half Milla Under Last Year. The nJain item of business to oc­ cupy the attention of members of the Town Council at their regular meet­ ing on February 19th, was the pass­ ing of a by-law to set the tax rate for 1940 at thirty eight mills. This is a reduction of two and one half mills from last year when the rate was 40 H mills. Mayor Dr. J. G. Murray occupied the chair and all members of the council, Thomas J. Morrison, Archie W. Clark, Harry T. Bower, Sidney H. Underwood, Kenneth R. Daniel and George Preston were in attendance. Communications included a print­ ed acknowledgement from Govern­ ment House, Ottawa, reading, "Lady Tweedamuir sends you her most sin­ cere thanks for your kind message of sympathy," and acknowledged a message of sympathy forwaj^gd to Her Excellency last week by Mayor Murray, on behalf of the citizens of Ingersoll. A request was received from W. L. Thurtell On behalf of the Ingersoll Public Library Board asking that 8300.00 be placed to the dredit of that body. Several accounts were read. The reports of the committees mainly recommended the payment of accounts and authorized the approval cf cheques that had been issued since the last meeting. The report of The Fire, Water and Light Commit­ tee, recommended that the (25.00 received from the Township of West Oxford .be placed to the credit of a Firemen’s Benefit Fund to he used for the benefit of members of the Ingersoll Fire Department as deemed necessary. The rate for the rental of the Town Hall was set at (5.00 for evenings and (7.50 for both after­ noons and evenings. This was recom­ mended in the report of the Police nnd Indigent Committee. All reports were adopted as read. Councillor Thomas J. Morrison and Archie W. Clark sponsored the in­ troduction of the By-Law for the raising and collecting of taxes to cover the various expenditures of. the Town of Ingersoll for the year 1940. Mayor Murray remained in the chair while the by-law was considered in committee of the whole. The amount to be raised by taxation for all purposes except the ratepay­ ers’ share of local improvements this year, was set at (114,799.14, which will require a rate of 38 mills on the dollar on all rateable property on an assessment of (3,028,397.00.

The total expenditures for the year were estimated at (141,821.98. The rate of 38 mills is the lowest tax rate Ingersoll has had in a number of years. It is 2% mills less than last year and 3’z> mills less than 1938. The retirement of the debentures on Victory Memorial Public School was mostly responsible for the reduction and had the Government Subsidy been the l’,£ mills that it was Iasi year the council would have been able to strike a 31 Vi mill rate. The* by-law was passed without dis­ cussion, given a third reading, finally signed, sealed and numbered 1113. Several accounts were ordered paid on motions by members of com­ mittees which they concerned and the request of the Library Board for (300.00 was granted on motion of Councillors Morrison and Clark. A Scot and a Yorkshireman were talking in a railway carriage. The Scot talked long and loud about what he and his country could do, until at last the Tyke got exasper­ ated. “Tha’s been opening tha mouth wide,” he said, "about what tha can do. Now tell us summat tha' can’t do, and Ah'll do ft for thee.” - “Weel,” replied Scotty, “Ah canna pay ma fare.” Qanm eU ....

Mr. Harley McBeth proved a very jovial chairman for a short program, which included recitations and songs by the pupils, violin selections by Mr. Albert Quinn and a humorous de­ bate. "Resolved that the wife should be boss in the home.” The affirmative side, Mrs. Alfred Dickout and Mrs. Will Pearson were victors over the negative side.

An English motorist, who had a 50- gallon tank of gasoline in reserve when rationing was introduced, con­ sulted a friend as to what to do about it “Bury it, my dear fellow," was the reply. Accordingly he gave his gardener instructions next day to dig a hole for it in a secluded spot.

Haff}* There has always been a tendency to express feeling through sound and so the history of music goes back to the beginning of the human race. The earliest music was possibly an imita­ tion of the sounds of natur£—the singing of the birds, the sighing of the winds, the washing of the waves. As the aspirations of man became greater, music was developed through a system of rules. It is noteworthy indeed that the Christian Church made the first really definite progress in music. This was done in connection with their religious chants. Another contribution came from the common - people in their folk songs—a spontaneous outburst of song expressing every emotion. The union of these two forms became the basis of modern music. Down through the centuries in many coun­ tries, great musicians added new forms of music, these forms were perfected} new instruments invented, their possibilities exhausted, until to-day it would seem we have reached perfection—yet music is dependent upon the fancy of man and possibly we could wish for a closer blending of present-day orchestral 4«kill with the simplicity and melody of the old master*. Composers, whose numbers were heard on the programme, added new 'chapters to the history of music. Franz Schubert evolved the artistic song—these lyrics of exquisite mel­ ody were the highest point of his genius. Chopin emphasized the mel­ ody of the piano. He has been called "The poet of the piano”, as he gave the world some of the most beautiful phrases of expression. Saint-Saens Masaanet did much for orchestration. One significant point in the paper was that in countries where there Is freedom of ..thought and action, music gains its full utterance. On this continent we are so accustomed to good music it is often not prized. It is no longer supplementary educa­ tion but has a permanent place on the school curriculum. Our troops marching to war have their morale strengthened by stirring matches, the people at home find the pure- pleasure derived from the en­ joyment of music eases the tension. In the words of Sir Ernest MacMillan, “Music in war assists sense of propor­ tion.” Thus music enters another chapter in Its glorious history.

Crawford, of the death of his wife, who passed away at the family resi­ dence, Ontario California, on Sun­ day, February 18th. Deceased was a fbrmer resident of Ingersoll and be­ fore her marriage to Mr. Crawford was Miss Mary Wallace of Brantford. Mr. Crawford was for many years in business in Ingersoll, operating a grocery store in the building now tenanted by Mayberry & Moon, on Thames street. He left here for Cal­ ifornia a number of years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Crawford have made their home in Ontario, California, since that time. While on a visit to Ingersoll in 1938, Mrs. Crawford injured her leg and was confined to Alexandra Hos­ pital here for about three months. She returned to California in Dec- comber, 1938, and had been confined to her home almost entirely since that time. Surviving besides her husband is one sister, Mrs. James Elliott, Wood- stock, Mrs. E. A. Nichols, North Ox­ ford, is a sister-in-law, and ’ B. B. Crawford, Ingersoll, a cousin. The funeral was held on Tuesday, February 20th, with interment in Ontario, California. HEALTH LEAGUE of CANADA TUBERCULOSIS IN THE CANADIAN ARMY According to' McLean’s magazine, more than 3,000 of the Canadians who enlisted in the Great War died of tuberculosis. Ten per cent, of them saw service in Canada only. More than 4,000 veterans are still on pension for tuberculosis laid to war service. If the 3,000 v\ho died from tuberculosis were treated for an average of two years at a cost of three dollars per day the approxim­ ate total cost of this group alone, not counting pensions to dependents, would be sixty and one-half million dollars. More than 4^500 men are receiving pensions for tuberculosis. Many of these are totally disabled and on full allowance. If the average pension/is $75.00 per month, the annual cost has been $4,050,000. The cost in the twenty years since the end of the war would amount to $81,000,000. (Since some of the disabled men were in institutions for a part of the time, the cost of tuberculosis in the Can­ adian Expeditionary Force has prob­ ably reached $100,000,000. The, Canadian Tuberculosis Association is correct in asserting that a great deal of the disease could have been de­ tected at enlistment by the use of proper methods. It is only by an X-ray examination that early signs of tuberculosis can be revealed. The Royal Army Medical Corps, which is responsible for the health of the Canadian soldier, has been or­ dered to have an X-ray plate of every recruit as well as special tests for diabetes, kidney diseases and ear de­ fects. It is said that- in the X-ray ex­ aminations already completed, less than 1 per cent of the meft have shown signs of tuberculosis. The value of these examinations is not entirely to the enlisted men who ex­ hibit signs of tuberculosis. The sift­ ing out of infected men will prevent their spreading the disease to their associates. It is a valuable piece of prevention.

Seldon, Oxford street, was well attended in spite of the weather. The president, Mr*. A. MacKenaie, presided and opened the meeting with the singing of ”0 Canada,” after which a two-minute silence was observed in honor of Lord Tweeda- muir. After the reading of the sec­ retary's and treasurer’s reports, greetings were brought from the Woodstock Women’s Liberal Club by Mrs. Dewan and Mrs. Connor, fol­ lowed by two delightful solos by Mrs. Arthur Seldon and Current Events by Jean Coventry. It was decided to have the annual meeting in April. The following resolution wjsa pass­ ed:—"Be it resolved that we, the members of the Ingersoll and Dis­ trict Women’s Liberal Association advise Premier Mackenzie King that we believe that his administration of the affairs of state has been in the best interests of the country, the army and the navy, and further that it is our sincere hope that he at d his government will be returned to power at the forthcoming election to guide Canada through these critical times.” Then the president called upon the guest speaker, Mr R. A. Mac- dougall of Woodstock, who opened l>is remarks by congratulating Mr. Rennie and assuring him of his whole hearted support in the coming campaign. He then proceeded to trace the history of the Mackenzie King Government from the time when Mr. King was chosen as the leader at the Nationa Convention of 1919. Mr. King united and stiengthened the Liberal Party and led it to success at the polls in 1921 and with the exception of the two months of Mr. Meighen’s shadow government, the Liberals remained m power until 1930. During this year of depression whatever government had been in power would have b<_en defeated, but the Mackenzie King Government though defeated, se­ cured 87 scats in the House, which enabled it to form a strong opposi­ tion and at the next election of 1935 it was returned with an over­ whelming majority. •Mr. MacDougall then outlined Mackenzie King's record since 1935 and pointed out that his government has kept its promises. They have a good financial record compared with the debt under Mr. Bennett's regime, in regard to unemployment they appointed a national commission and have greatly reduced the unemploy­ ment Trade has been increased by many different treaties, the dut- standing one being the reciprocity treaty with the United States. The integrity of the Canadian National Railway has been safeguarded. The King Government has given Canada good government not only through the years of peace, but also during the^ five months since war began. For the past two or three years the war budget has been in­ creased and since war has beep de­ clared great strides have been made in contributing help to the mother country and Mr. King and his minis­ ters have been in close and constant touch with leaders in Great Britain. The best contribution which we can make, namely, placing our economic resources at the command of Brit­ ain, has been made. A purchasing board has been appointed. Care has been taken in the letting of contracts. Men have been carefully selected for the army and at present 70,000 are in active service. There are 9000 men in air service while still another 6,000 are,Jn the navy helping to protect the Atlantic Coast A great contribution towards the prosecution of the war, is the Empire Air Training Scheme. Towards this Canada’s contribution has been $365,000,000, about one million a day. That Canadians make particu­ larly fine air men was recently proven when in grading the air force in Great Britain, fifty out of the first sixty proved to be Can­ adians. Thus, in the first five months of the war the ground work has been carefully laid and millions of dollars liave been saved which might have been lost had the government rushed ahead with ill considered schemes. Yet there came severe criticism from certain quartern and Mr. King decid­ ed to leave it to the people of Can­ ada to decide who was best fitted to carry on the war and to secure their decision as quickly as possible that there might be no delay in the pro- recution of the war. We believe that Canada can best play her part with Mackenezie King Government guid­ ing her. A vote of thanks to all those who assisted during the afternoon, was moved and seconded, by Mis* Jean Coventry and Mr*. Gordon Warden. The meeting concluded with the singing of the National Anthem.

TESTED RECIPES FOOD FOR BODY AND BRAIN Fish has often been called a "brain” food but it’s no reflection on your family’s J. Q., if you serve it to them often. Rather it is an indication of the high degree of in­ telligence of the housewife who realizes the value of fish in the diet. Your family may not need fish to stimulate the growth of their men­ talities but they do need it to build strong bodies and acquire robust health. Children’s delicate digestive sys­ tems require tender, easily digested food such as fish. Their rapid growth’calls for supplies of protein and minerals and vitamins. AU of . these requirements are fulfilled by in­ cluding fish in the family menus. Fi»h Crispies 1 tablespoon onion juice 2 pounds fish fillets of haddock, cod, whitefish 1 Vs cups fine, soft bread crujnbs 1 tablespoon melted butter or fat 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning Salt and pepper to season. 3-8 cup milk to mix dressing more if crumbs are drier. Wipe the fish with a cold, damp cloth and cut in servings. Salt lightly. Place on a greased baking pan. Mix the other ingredients to form a dressing and place a mound on each piece of fish. Sprinkle the fish and dressing with finely chopped bacon and bake in a hot oven (450* F. to 500* F.) until fish is done. This should not take over 10 minutes, if the fish is not over one and a half inches thick. Tlie dressing and bacon will brown nicely in the same time. Sene with a Tartare sauce, if wished Serves 5. "I trust we shall make you feel quite at home,” remarked an hotel manager to a new guest. “Don’t trouble' yourself in that direction,” came the rejoinder. “1 don’t want to feel at home.

At least 1 am, so tospeak, the custodian of a dog, sothat it might be more correct to say ’ that the dog has me. Has me, indeed he has, for he has managed in a few short weeks, to worm his way into my affections so that 1 am quite his i slave. What ia there about a dog that can make a comparatively sane and sensible individual act like a cross between the proverbial and now defunct old maid with a cat and the adoringly foolish mother of one small boy? To say that we are fond of the dog is to put it mildly, for that would but imply that we put up with the vagaries of his doggie habits, but we do more, much more, we actu.-Uly adjust ourselves to the brute and put aside our own patiently acquired habits of thought to make life merry for the dog. With our new canine possession, there also arrived a pile of pamphlets and there began my tribulations. How to cope with an animal that was prone to develop the hundred and one diseases, which according to the information gratuitously supplied, this canine was heir to was a question that loomed like a collossus to my imagination. He might have mump- and measles and all the other ail­ ments with which I struggled inex­ pertly years ago when the boys were young, and he could besides develop numerous-others of which I had never heard. However, as the dog’s lord and master pointed out, these were the brilliant pennings of advertising men, whose business it was to sell the products warranted to cure the said diseases. So I decided to dismiss them, as those of us who are sensible, dismiss those alarmists who scream their “Bewares” over the ether and in the columns of newspaper and magazine. So far my dismissing the diseases thus has not seemed to in­ duce them in the dog. Another thing, have you ever tried to feed an anisial the things the ex­ perts say he should have? Well, T did and the dear actually turned up his patrician nose, (it isn’t really patrician, but actually more like a shovel; he’s*a wire-haired terrier you know), and went out to seek the elusive bone from the neighbor’s garbage-can. Why I wondered, when, I went to all the trouble of reading up on diets, preparing meat and vegetables as prescribed, almost going to the length of weighing and sterilizing, ahnost, not quite, did the creature have to bring home an assortment of ancient, bare bones to decorate the verandah, there to gnaw them hungrily and persistently and give me the uncomfortable feeling, that my good friends and neighbors would privately be wondering why I didn’t feed the wretch. Empty cans he enjoys, especially if they retain the mellifluous odour of stale sa’mon. I found him a few days ago disport­ ing himself wiUi one he had retrieved from the ash-pile, so decided that canned salmon should be on the menu for his dinner, a nice new can, especially bought for His Highness. Did he repay me, by looking with adoring brown eyes at me, his pro­ vider, and at that tempting dish of fish and whole-wheat and grated car­ rot? Not he; he turned his jaunty tail on it and went off gaily to seek his own provender. 0 dog, thou little knowest what misgivings and heart­ burnings thy doggie conduct induces in me! Having come to the conclu$ibn that it would be interesting to discover the real color of our pet, it was de­ cided to give him a bath. Of cou se the* experts had to be consulted first and as is usual when one does that, it was found that they all agreed to disagree. He might be washed or he might continue to go au nature!; he might be bathed every week or every month, but one must, they all agreed on this, use only the soap they hap­ pened to sponsor, otherwise his coat -would be ruined. As it wasn’t pos­ sible to use all their sublimated soaps, we thought we’d take a chance on one; we could try it very gingerly and if the coat didn’t directly begin to come out in handfuls, we could decide to continue the process. I wonder if you have ever prepared yourself for fireworks in the way of conduct, doggy or otherwise, and had the mortification of being treated to an extreme case of passive resist­ ance; to be all keyed up to meet a cyclone and to have to combat mere­ ly the gentlest zephyr. Well, that was our dog in his tub. We lathered and scrubbed, pok^d into his ears and around his eyes, rinsed and Anally re- daued him; all sweet and docile ae- qniscence. Then, when we had conu to feel that the gentle creature was almost too good for this world, the pent-up hurricane brake loose.

WILFORD INGERSOLL tables, stood on his head, described ; frantic circles with h's nose to the i ground as the centre thereof, shoved that square jaw of his, this way and i that, over the rugs and acted in every (way like a dog demented. What had ■ we done? Perhaps this treatment of the poor dumb beast, (he had been so alarmingly dumb during the pro­ cess), had bereft him of his doggy senses and this exhibition was the final act before extinctipn. Then, as suddenly as the storm had risen, it sank to quiet rest and he lay inert on one of my good towels in front of the fire; no sign of the mad dog re­ mained. So quiet, in fact, had he be­ come, that his owner asked in awe, “Is he dead?” Not even the sound of his name, uttered in dulcet tones of sweetest affection, evoked the slight­ est movement of eye or ear. He seemed completely unconscious of anything, except the fact that the mortals he had trusted had given him such infamous treatment and that the only way in which he could express his entire disapproval was to be deaf to all endearments and to refuse the forgiveness so ardently craved. However, as he dried and became once more beautiful, his ire evaporated with the moisture from his coat and he became again the joyous .and voiciferous puppy of pre­ bath times. But, alas, for that so beautiful appearance; it lasted but a day and our pride was laid low; he he has no pride, that dog. Next time 1 think I shall advocate a black dog or at least one of dark' brown or grey or perhaps some skilled breeder can produce a chameleon dog that can change the color pf his coat to cor­ respond with that of the mud in its neighborhood. We love our dog, but we admit one fault to mar his car inc perfection; he barks loud and lustily at all and sundry who dare to approach the sac­ red precincts he calls home. He may be a good watchdog on this account,* but he has annoyed his lord to such i an extent that he has threatened to . muzzle him. I hate the thought of ' muzzling that glorious out-burst, that . so magnificently manifests*his joie de r vire, but what would you, when you ;hear the boy who delivers the bread, • refer to your prize pet as a mutt. A' . mutt, forsooth, just because he ob- t jects to the aforesaid mutt barking at his horse and jumping on his . bread-basket. ‘I mean that literally, , but perhaps it would be less ambig- uous to say, the basket he carries in , his hands) . . .

Application of rubber tires tofarm fractal's will prove the most im­portant development in farm mach­inery promoted for many years, inthe opinion of Professor L. G.Heimpel, Head of the Agricultural Engineering Department, Macdonald College, Que. Speaking before the 30th annual meeting of the Ontario Plowmen's Association on "New De­ velopments in Farm Machinery,” Prof. Heimpel cited as the basis of his prediction the fact that “the rubber tire has made the tractor a very much higher speed machine. Most of them are now equipped with a fourth speed for roadwork, by means of which speeds of from 10 to 16 or more miles per hour can be se­ cured at nominal engine speed.” The rubber-tired tractor will make imperative the use of rubber-tired wagons, which will be brought much closer to the ground. This will greatly increase convenience and ease of load­ ing, and speed up all kinds of farm haulage operations, according to Prof. Heimpel. Nor will it entail the scrappings of all wagons now in ex­ istence. “Already I am in possession of a bulletin describing the remodel­ ling of existing farm wagons by simply clamping to the lower side of the axles of those wagons the front axle of old automobiles complete with wheels and tires. Many farmers are already putting this improvement into' practice, he said. These included owners of heavy spraying outfits who have mounted their machines on rubber to good ad­ vantage. Growers near big cities are buying used truck tries for this purpose. A very raw recruit in an anti-air­ craft unit was being instructed by an exasperated sergeant. "Now you!” he raved at last. "Re­ member this. If there is an air raid, your job will be to climb up the searchlight beam and shoot down the enemy planes as they pass.” A knowing smile stole across the recruit’s face. “Naw, Sarge, yc don’t ketch me on a daft thing like that,” he said. ‘‘What happens if th’ other ladsSwitch off the light?” Mike—“Well, Pat, how are you these days?” Pat—“Bad, mighty bad, sure; ’tis starvation staring me in the face.” Mike-“Faith and it can't be verj pleasant for either of you.” IN SU R A N C E Protect Yourself Adequately with The Best Companies — Cpll or See — Viola M.
