THURSDAY, JULY 30th, 1942 Ton# of Salt Help# Prevent Hot Weather Ills The Health League of Canada directs attention to an article in the current C-I-L Oval which states that in order to protect the health of war workers and to aid them in combating the ill effects of sum mer heat, the practice is now widespread of equip ping munition plants with salt tablets in handy dis pensers near every drinking fountain. The import ance of salt in the fight against summer heat and possible prostration cannot be lover-estimated, the article states, and most of the ill effects of exertion in hot weather are caused by the prodigious loss of salt from the body through sweating. Even the con dition commonly referred to as “water poisoning’’ is caused not ’so much by the over-consumption of water, as is generally thought, but rather by the ser ious depletion of chlorides in the body. While office workers can make up their depletion of chlorides with the salt normally consumed! at meal time, workers in factories need extra amounts of this necessary mineral at frequent intervals during .working hours. These little tablets are easily washed down with a mouthful of water and their location near drink ing fountains serves as a reminder that a thirsty man needs salt as well as water. There are approximately 5,000 of these dispensers in use throughout Canadian factories and it is estimated that an additional 1,000 will be intailed this year for the relief of war workers in our new war industries. Each dispenser holds 1,500 tablets and the tablets which will be con sumed in the next few months in the fight against summer heat can be measured in tons. No Strings Attached In the past we’ve been accustomed, you and I, to considering economy almost entirely in terms of our own persona] benefaction. It’s been every man fof himself and the devil take the hindmost. Even now that we're face to face with the fact that final vic tory in this war will depend, to a large extent, upon our personal saving we still find it difficult to take a long view of this economy business. We must learn to think collectively to visualize our own small bit multiplied by a few hundred thousand. Then it be gins to take on some significance. For instance, take a yard of string. You usually throw it away with the garbage but you’ve begun to think collectively so you picture 9 million pieces of string, each a yard long. Nine million is the approx imate number of people in Canada over the age of 10 years. If each of these individuals was to save one piece Of string three feet long we would have enough to stretch across the breadth of the Domin ion almost twice. And if they did that every week, inside of a year there would be enough to more than go around the whole world. Think of it! Think of the hemp, jute and cotton twine Canada imports annually to supply us with strings and cord. In 1940 the Cordage, Rope and Twine Industry re corded an import of some 367,000 worth of cotton cords and twine, binder twine to the value of #997,- 000 and 33.519,000 worth of sisal fibre. Each piece of string saved and re-used means that so much less needs to be manufactured, and so much lew needs to be imported, leaving room and money for so much more of what it takes to win wars. Let's make thia an all-out war effort, with no strings attached! Extra Sugar For Threshers Special provision has been made by the sugar ration division of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board to provide extra sugar for farmers' wives during the threshing season, according to an announcement made .recently by W. Harold McPhillips, Prices and Supply Representative of the Western Ontario Region of the Board. "It is recognized that a, problem will confront the farmers’ wives this summer and fall in providing pies, cakes and other sugar-containing foods for threshing units who will visit the farms for a day or for several days to handle the eereal crop*.*' “Special provision has been made to meet this problem. The farmer's wife will know from exper ience (approximately how many men will compose the thresher unit and how long it will remain at her farm, and therefore how much sugar she will require. She shall apply in good time to the ration officer of the Board located in London and Windsor for a special purchase permit to obtain the sugar she require* for this special purpose.'* “Persons making application for the special sugar permit should state bow many men are expected to be included in the threshing unit; how long they will remain; how many meals will be served and what quantity of sugar is expected to be used." •■This permit should 1st presented to the grocer or other supplier and will be hi* authority to sell this exact amount to the purchaser for thia specific pur pose," added Mr. MePhUlipa LOOKING BACK 25 YEARSFrom the Files of The Oxford Tribune,Ingersoll, Canada, Thursday, August 2nd, 1917 Miss Edith Ackert is visiting in Fenlon Falls.

BRITISH INDUSTRIES— From Robert Williamson — BRITAIN'S WOMEN FIGHT HlTUElR A new welding machine recently /qcmt to Britain from the United States is being used with great success in training the women who are to-day helping to build ships for the Battle of the Oceans. The women become good electric welders after a brief training. A growing unmber of them are now working -alongside their menfolk in the yards of the Tees, Tyne, Wear, Mersey and Clyde. They are taking over the lighter jobs such as painting a ship’s structure; every week more and more of them are to be seen high up on the staging. Heavier work like riveting is not quite their line, but they make ex cellent rivet heaters. They are tofound on repetition work in the ma chine shops. They make piston rings. They assemble valves. In oil engine works on the Clyde theirs is the chief labour used in building oil coolers. Women are even taking over work as fitters on the lower parts of heavy marine engines which can be reached from the floor or the first staging. And everyone is agreed that they are a success: the Government, theemployers, the trade unions, and—’ the .women themselves. BRITISH ARMY’S BOOTS The British Army is on the march in boots which weigh 1 lb. less than in 1918. Their average weight in the last war was 5 lbs. a pair; their average weight to-day is 3 lbs. 13 ozs. The achievement is the total re sult of a number of tiny reductions. Material is a little less thick. In 1914-1918 when the Array got its first machine-made boot uppers had a thickness of 2 millimetres. To day it may be .1 3-4 millimetres. There are still toe-caps, with a reinforcement of cement under them; but the old toe-case has gone; and that was in solid grain leather of not less than one-tenth of an inch. Outsoles, too, are not so heavy. There are fewer metal studs and the metal for heel1 tips and to* plates is also lighter. Finally there was the new design for the Army boot of this war, in corporating the ideas of a famous orthopaedic surgeon who is also a knight. The new boot grips where it ought to and gives room where room is needed. Ami the result, almost accidentally, is yet another reduction in weight. The sum total is a boot which is not only less heavy and more com fortable, that is to say les* tiring to the man on the march, but one which wears longer than ite clumsier predecessor. BRINGING BACK THE SHEEP AND COWS Britain has begun the Empire’s first large-scale experiments in arti ficial insemination, the revolutionary breeding process whkh after the war will do everything to bring the world’s flocks and herds back to normal. Britain’s experiments in artificial insemination, already successfully practised fn Soviet Russia, are being conducted by the Cambridge School of Agriculture and the National Institute for Research in Dairying. They show that in one year a single bull or ram can fertilise fifteen hundred cows or ewes, bringing the best blood in the world to the humb lest keeper of livestock from thous ands of miles away. It is the small farmer, unable to purchase a good bull, who wifi benefit most. There has been some doubt about the reaction to the new departure of pedigree breeders with a vested interest in the sale of bulls but ser ious opposite^ from them is not expected although artificial insem ination will certainly tower the prices of second grade bulls. Apart from Russia, Denmark, the Netherlands and Italy had all taken up artificial insemination before the war. The dairy breed societies in England have now recognised it and framed regulations for registering the animals so bred. Breed aoclete iea in the United States have act ually sponsored the artificial insem ination societies; and. with the pres- ent experiments In England, the out look for building up the world'* live stock population is definitely hope ful.

It is a1 vice in one to be dishonest or untruthful, and yet neither virtue is in itself good un less it produces good, that is, unless people are made happy thereby. With most of us there is an inability to see anything other than black or white, with the virtues and vices divided pretty equally between the two extremes, and yet how many have been made to suffer even from the virtues, the excess virtues of others? There is the man, or perhaps the woman, who feels bound to tell the truth to another to that other's en tire discomfiture. It isn’t the less truth for that and truth is a viAue, but hasn’t it, by the very usl to which it has been put, been tAns- formed into a vice, a disrupting/and hurtful thing? Another virtue that has played ducks and drakes with happiness, is that of extreme and soul-revolting tidiness, the habit of mind that makes its owner suffer tortures at the sight of a muddied floor, a little sur face du«t, disarranged papers or books, a sprinkling of tobacco-ash, or any one of a number of other things that for them means untidi ness. And yet that anxiety for per fection,that keeps them in a state of perpetual uneasiness, is reflected on all around them. It robs a house of any chance of Its being a home to the children, who, naturally enough, are always rushing, heed less and forgetful, from one excit ing thing to another; to whom a dis array of garments and playthings, grubby hands and stained faces, muddy boots and torn britches, are as inevitable as night and day. They loathe tidiness as instinctively as does the puppy that tears around with joyous bark to scatter the rugs and knock over the brie a brae, and ends his whirlwind career by proudly planting yjur delapidated old slip- pers in th| most conspicuous place possible. ’Discipline and a patience that firmly grips hold of itaelf with both hands, may cure both and bring them to a state wherein they can bear to be neat and clean and even see »me virtue in it, but to be forever so, is anathema to the majority of young things. Husbands too suffer from this virtue gon< rampant. They, being older, having had for years to put up with all the unpleasant compulsion* of life, are apt to simmer in silence, rather than boil up in argument. They may even conceivably pretend to a vir tue they have not, but let them be pushed too far, and they’ll revolt His comfortable, disreputable old chair moved out to make room for a newer model, a sloppy, out-ofel- hows sweater or worn riippen. given to the ragman, a ban put on hit dis gusting habit of smoking or taking a dafnk stronger than tea, and he’* qw'te apt one day to go reeking a mate of lea* exemplary habit, but of more comfortable «*poaiUon. And it isn’t a virtue that* driven him out, but a virtue tamed vice. And who has not met the man or woman who has turned the virtue of thrift into the unpleasant Scrooge- like vice of parsimony; who saves and scrimps, not that he may enjoy comfort and happy independence later, but who becomes a hoarder for the sake of hoarding, of watch ing the pile grow? Many otherwise good women think a husband can be controlled only by vigorous tongue-lashing, regularly applied. It may be, I’ve known such, 1 was going to say men, but think better of it. All these wives say and reiterate with venom, may be true, and truth is a virtue, but the woman who can by a little cajolery, that may well be less truth than the scolding words of the other, bring her husband to a pleasant frame of mind, and make him forget what the rest of the world has been trying to to make him believe of himself, that woman is bringing happiness, not by reason of a virtue, truth, but by rea son of a little deception, a vice really, that had in it the virtue of giving comfort and tranquility. This may all sound very complica ted. I know I have no wish to decry virtue of any kind, or to puff up any vice, but excess of virtue of self righteous virtue, is apt to have the very opposite effect that all virtue is supposed to have, that is, that it can and does at times produce discom fort and misery instead of tomfort arid happiness. To put it succinctly, wrtues compounded and vices con- rounded. Work Start# On Oxford Air Tenders are being received on the Tillsonburg airdrome development until 12 o’clock noon, E.D.S.T., on Friday, July 31. by George W. Yates, secretary of the department at Ot tawa. Contractor* who plan to sub mit tenders are advised that they can secure additional information *n the project by writing to the De partment of Transport’s district airway engineer, whose office is located in the Kent Building, Ham ilton. Preliminary work started a week ago with the changing of all over head wires to underground conduits, and renovating a house for the en gineer’s office. From unofficial sources it was learned that the landing runways will be ef the most modern design to ac commodate the largest bombers now being manufactured. As a result of this undertaking, houses are in demand, and outside labor is beginning to arrive in Til- sonburg- The new airfield will be located in the Township of Dere ham. about 10 miles south of Inger- - soil, on No. 19 highway. Actual work on the big development is sched uled to get under way between Aug ust 10 and 15. A teacher was impressing upon her class the fact that you cannot subtract one thing from others un less they are of the same denomin ation. "For instance,” she said, “we cannot take two apples from three oranges.” Then a bright boy said: “But teacher, can’t we take four apples from two trees?” A man on holiday had been told he would find splendid sport on the lower reaches of the creek and a'tetethe lagoons bordering the river. wf.-i in hand, he wandered for miles without getting a shot, and was crossing a bridge on the way back to the hotel in the late afternoon when he met a small freckled boy. “Is there anything to shoot about here?’’ he asked. The boy scowled thoughtfully and shook his head. Then hi* face bright ened up. “Here’s the schoolmaster coming across the bridge now!” he exclaimed. C. W. A. C.

If a child is seriously underweight there is likely enough an organic cause and it is wiser to consult your physician. Perhaps he’s too excited with life to feel like settling down to a meal: after all, life is pretty ex citing to youngsters whose genial currents have not been frozen by the anfractuomtiea of life! Or the child may be a bit upset or too tired. Let him alone: scolding or nagging won't help and may make him so resentful that he may go on a partial hunger strike. Spiking the Appetite Appetites are sure to decline if you serve the same dishes over and over again. It’s too easy to fall into the habit of always serving the identical combination of dishes—such as cole slaw with stew or pan potatoes with a roast. For a change accompany stew with a green salad with a favorite dressing. Or with a roast, au gratin potatoes or baked onions that have been glazed with a little honey to give them eye appeal. ’ Conditioned reflexes make our mouths water when we smell the robust aroma of sausage in the skillet, while the word protein leaves us cold. The advice to eat one leafy green vegetable and one citrus food every day doesn’t rouse our appetite like it would if we put it this way: Think of the leafy green vegetable as tender, fresh broc coli Sprinkled with grated cheese. Sounds better, doesn't it? And forcitrii^ fruit imagine a salad of orange and grapefruit sections .with some of our local fruits in season, served with a dash of tart French dressing. Think of sauces* and drewing* in due proportion to the bulkier pans of a meal, remembering what George Meredith had hia bright young hero say:— •‘The woman who has mastered sauces is sitting on the very apex of civilization.’* If you have not already done so, the Health League of Canada. Ill Avenue Road. Toronto, invites you to write for a free vitandn chart which may be hung in the kitchen as an aid to navigation on ; the course of health. !*And gravies—homely dishes like swiae steak earn the plaudits of gourmets with addition of the menwt sou peon of vinegar and a ooneervative dash of mustard.

Tobacco Crop Survey Shows More Acreage A preliminary survey of the 1942 Canadian tobacco crop indicates an increase of approximately six per cent in the total area planted as compared with plantings totalling 70,560 acres in the previous year. The increase is practically all in the flue-cured tobacco grown in South western Ontario, plantings of which are ^estimated to be 12 per cent larger than in 1941. The burley to bacco acreage will be about the same as in 1941. Aram of all other types have been ’reduced, with the declines ranging up to 50 per cent in the case of large and medium pipe tobaccos where there has been a shift to cigar leaf types. In general, plants are developing favourably in the field, and damage from insect pests and disease is not serious, although there was a severe infestation of cutworms, particu- ilariy in Quebec, and in the Norfolk I district of Ontario. The doctor was puzzled. “Youought to be pretty well by now,” hesaid, “Have you carried out my instructions?”“Well, Doctor,” said the patient, 'Tve done most of them, but I can’ttake the two-mile walk every morning that you ordered. I get toedizzy.” “What do you mean—’diaxy?”asked the doctor. “Well,” said the patient, "I musthave forgotten to tell you. I’m alighthouse-keeper.” THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JULY j!0,1942 Teacher (to small pupil)—“Spell straight.” Pupil—“S-t-r-a-i-g-h-t.” Teacher—.“Correct, what does it mean?" • Pupil—"(Without ginger ale.” LEGION NOTES Ginter brown spun rayon frock.

Officials of the Ingersoll Branch of the Canadian Legion have received word from Ottawa that there was a noticeable increase in the number of panels and letters mailed to men in the armed forces during Army Week. This in itself, to their way of thinking, made Army Week a worth while thing. The Ingersoll Branch is in an ex cellent position at the present time both from a financial point of view and in the way of members. It has made wonderful strides forward since they purchased their new club rooms on Water street. To date the Branch has raised money to send 75,000 cigarettes to the boys over seas, and are continuing this good work. They have been instrumental in securing large sums of money for the British Bomb Victims Funds. To their comrades in the present War the Legion extend a cordial invitation to join with them at any time and make use of their club room in the Legion hall. When the boys from overseas return they as sure them of a hearty welcome and the use of the facilities of the Leg ion hall at all times.• • ■ The regular meeting of the Ing ersoll Branch of the Canadian Le gion, No. 119, held last week in the Legion Hall, was well attended. President Fred Funnel! occupied the chair and one new member was received into the Branch. A num ber of committee reports were presented. The committee in con nection with the Memorial Cemetery Plot reported that the purchase of a plot at the Ingersoll Rural Ceme tery had been completed and the deed was now in the hands of the Branch. John Crosswell was named as chairman of a committee to arrange for a special service to dedi cate the plot and the date for this will be announced later. Bert Cole reported that the Branch had been represented at a meeting to arrange for the organization of a local War Finance Committee. A communica tion from Ottawa was read at the meeting informing the members that the National Defence Tax deductions from widow's pensions ' was being discontinued. "I’ll let you off with a fine this time, but another day I’ll send you to jail." “That’s what’l expected." “What do you mean?" “Fine today—cooler tomorrow."

They start back■ to town, and In an old cemetery alongthe way Jerry finds a tombstone bearingthe name ’’Horace John Twombley."Later, whUe he is eating dinner at theRising Sun hotel a man arrives andregisters as B. B. Twombley of Portland. Maine."So it’s you, Miss Slinn! You're looking so blooming.”“Sorry,” said Rose in reply to a question instantly issuing from Jerry.She had flushed at bls hand'simmediate withdrawal — becameher practical self again as she gavea Casual glance at the stone overwhich that hand had passed andtoward which it pointed now. She was almost brusque with him.“Mr. Horace Twombley? Nevermet the gentleman. Judging fromthe looks of this inscription, I'dguess he. was just a little before my time.’’ Jerry, however, was too excited to take great account of the changein her, or to reflect that the modemgirl, who repulses familiarities with less indignation than herpredecessor, shares with all wom ankind a positive distaste for theoffender who takes her too unpro-testingly at her word. Here, just as he was abandoningbelief in any fraud about the Slinn-Twombiey claim, there arose a coincidence that revived every suspicion. Appearing in this sparselysettled countryside, the one name—Slinn—might have been explainedaway. But at that juncture there entered the other name involved! "Of course this man lived and died long ago. I didn't mean that What I meant was: Are there anyof the family left around here?” Rose shrugged her shoulders andkicked her legs. "I'm sure I don'tknow,"“But you would know if—” won long after offense has been given. And he had just had another lesson to the same effect fromRose.Should he then continue his questof the Ironburg Twombleys? Looking back, he decided that whileRose's denial of any such name'sexistence among the village'sgraves was inspired by her annoyance, it would be better to inquireaman£ the elderly living than the oldest dead. An aproned person appeared on the porch of the sun-baked hoteland rang a huge handbell at him. Jerry determined to do nothing before eating—always a wise resolve. He was the only diner in the illlighted room where, indeed, therewere but four tables, and only one"set. "Roast beef — potatoes — corn—spinach—peach pie!”He regarded the waitress. Yes,she was the bell-ringer. She wasalso, he recalled, the chambermaid. “All right,” said he. "I don'tmind.” “Mean you’ll have 'em still?” “One time my boss gave me abook that said 'Never appear un appreciative.* I will have 'emstill." “I don’t. It’s not a name that’s ever on any letters going through She left him and returned withthe entire meal on a single tray.Plate by plate, she threw it at thetable. “B. B. Twombley? Portland;Maine? There used to was Twombleys lived in these parts.”A plump man, wearing a suit ol extremely light brown and havinga head covered by close cropped,but brilliant red hair. That was the sum of what could at first be determined about him, for the head wasstill bowed above the register.“People of my name in theseparts?” His voice was singularlyshrill for a person of the newcomer's build.“Used to was,” repeated Hassler.“Well, well! Now that you mention it, I do remember my grandfather saying he hailed from somewhere in Pennsylvania. But that’s a long while ago." Glidden gulped. He pushed backhis chair so rapidly and so forciblyas all but to upset the faithful chambermaid - waitress still stationed behind it. He stared throughthat open door into the office. The waitress scuttled inside. Thechair scraped as Jerry rose. Mr.B. B. Twombley looked up at last. Then Jerry had his first glimpseof the face. It was round andpasty: the nose was good, but themouth too small, and the lips lackedcolor. The eyes were dark andnarrow Did it appear a little labored?Try as he might and did. Jerrycould recall few details of theTwombley signature extant amongthe records of the Protective LifeInsurance Company’s claim department. He was certain simplyof a general resemblance betweenthat hand and this—and of coursehe was in no position to wire Lightner for a photograph.Jerry resumed progress with theresolution that had torn him fromthe peach pie. Ke would go upstairsand affect what might appear achance encounter with the newcomer. If the waitress had indeedbeen overheard and done damage,a trifle of judicious deception mightmend matters. Hassler he encountered in the halt"Business is booming.” said Jerry. “I see I'm not alone in myglory any more.”Hassler nodded solemnly."Is Mr. Twombley here for somestay?” Jerry ventured.“He says he is yet. ef he kin gitquiet.”“I heard you mention his initials," Jerry made the best of the chambermaid's indiscretion. "Iused to know a man named B. B. Twombley. From the slant I got at this one. I don't believe it’s thesame, but I thought rd just run up my post office, and it's nowhere inIronburg, either. If you’re so excited. why don't you look—aroundhere?" She waved toward theother graves. •That's a good scheme.” saidJerry, still oblivious of her annoyance. "Thanks, I will." He did, while she watched with° a smile entirely scornful. He foundseveral other Twombley gravesbut none more recent than the latter eighteen-hundreds. Jerry reflected that, had she beena better shot, either of his two morning escapes would have been scarcely worth rejoicing over. The plates were thick, the beefwas bard. “A single direct hit," hethought, "would prove fatal” Also, the maize was cattle corn:there had been a good deal of sandleft in the spinach; and. to makethings worse, the waitress stood be hind him throughout the meal. She rustled over his head a stick to which a big bunch of parti-coloredpaper ribbons had been fastened"Still, there's the regular Ironburg cemetery— "You'll not see any there. I knowthat cemetery, but this is the firsttime I've been in this one since Iwas about five years old.” She stood up, yawning.

"Where's Mr. Hassler?" beasked."Out"• The diner glanced through anopen door that gave upon the hoteloffice. "When'll he be back?" "Shifty," judged Jerry. Somewhere in his forties, the traveler must be—rather self indulgent forties, too—and he adventured a tie that rivaled the brightest blueamong the birds. Jerry’s noisyrise had quite naturally attractedTwombley's attention; what seemedless natural—or, at any rate, lessfrank—was the rapidity with whichthe man in brown shifted his position so as to present only his backto the door. Moreover, having seenJerry, whom he must know- thatHassler had not observed, Twombley whispered a series of quickqueries to the Rising Sun’s proprietor . . . That one innocently replied in his normal tones: "No-o-o, we ain't near full. We’ve jes’ got one ozzer gentleman . . .” (This, thought Jerry, was like listening to one end of a telephoneconversation!) etore." Again he took her at her word.They turned into the turnpike,and she set a far .better pace thanformerly; nor did Jerry, busy with■this new clue, feel the lashes of hercomparative silence. «"I'm afraid I've seemed sort of‘preoccupied," he apologized when they neared the store.' "Were you?" she asked. "Ihadn't noticed.”That shot did tell. “Miss Walker. I'm—I'm------"He stumbled over the words—hard enough to salve her. She gavehim her low laugh, but it was "How'd I know?” Kinmy.“Yes? You're what? I wish youwould tell me what you are. Notmany people come to Ironburg. andof those who do none tries to paycalls on Angela Slinn or ’hunt up queer names in the country graveyards- I believe it la a case of anunexpected inheritance, after afi." He almost gave her the truth, buthe remembered in time bow slightly be knew her. "I wish it was—for you." he said. “I don't know how you would. Butdon't get scared; I'm not going tomake any kick to him.” The hatchet face softened towhat must have been intended fora smile. The kitchen evidently atethe same fare as the guest “Itmightn't hurt ef you did—but itwouldn't help none." "No," said Jerry. "I can see youweren't born yesterday. I wonder if you were born long enough ago tn remember any of the people 1was going to ask Mr. Hasslerabout: the Twombleys.” The waitress added an extrawrinkle to her brows—almost visibly she skimmed the pages of her memory’s index.

" ’Cause ef that there ain't yourfriend you jes* ast about, he's gotthe wery same name, anyvays." Had Twombley heard her? Hewas out of sight—but was he outof hearing? And he had appearedsuspicious—at least, nervous—fromthe first. Best to put up a goodfront and go right to IL Jerry started out of the dining room. He paused in the office before thebetel register.

And yet . . •A lazy afternoon as observed from this none too shady porch of the now familiar hotel, very. Thewhite turnpike shimmered. In the bordering fields, vegetation shnv-eled; behind them, the hills swayedin a hot haze. Even the bluebirds were at rest. Flies hummed, ofcourse: now and then the more am bitious bit. Not a car passed—nota cart—never a pedestrian.The door to Rose's store wasopen. Should he make his peace with Rose? No. he thought not.She had been sharp- Was doubtless still sore.Besides, here was this pressing mystery behind him—According to the rules of everybusiness primer.

No- 1. stood exactly across this lateral hall from back room No. 3.

He listened. For as much as aminute, those snores continued.No longer. They stopped, not ina general explosive convulsion suchas marks the climax of a genuinesnorer's somnolence; they juststopped.Still Jerry listened. Soon heheard the groan of slats. A plumpbody was turning over in an oldfashioned bed—or rising from it Came another and more stealthymovement. Glidden banged hisdoor again as if, having hurried tohis room for some forgotten object,he was now as hurriedly—and ascarelessly—quitting itHe looked quickly over his shoulder. Mr. Twombley, of Portland,had emerged into the hall, and hewas fully dressed.“I beg your pardon," said Jerry.Twombley's pasty face flushed.He snorted: he tried to turn back,but Glidden was spouting speech—had even advanced the threeyards* width of the halls.“Oh!” the younger man ap praised the elder's costume, which was no more than a little wrinkled.“I thought perhaps I'd wakened you. The proprietor told me youwere all in and sleeping it off, but I see,” lied Jerry, “you haven'tbeen."“I was," retorted Twombley inthat shrill voice which Jerry hadbefore remarked, unnecessarilyemphatic.The alleged Portlander began toback. Jerry had sold insurance inhis day and was not easily dismissed. He had here found outsomething of what he wanted to discover, but just enough to whethis already sharpened appetite;moreover, there was that delayed explanation to be attempted.

Said Jerry:"One little thing more, Mr.Twombley, if you don't mind. Ithink your initials are B. B., aren’tthey?”Those narrow eyes narrowed further. "What of it?”"Just a queer coincidence. I usedto know a man named that.”"Where?”Had the waitress been overheard? There was no telling; butthe manner in which the demandwas snapped made Jerry divert atrifle from the yarn he had spunto the waitress. He wanted to aDaypossible mistrust, not create any.“In Trenton.

Jerry redescended the stairs. (TO HE CONTINUED) There was no more sleep left Inhim, and he must, anyhow, maintain that fiction of having gone tobls room on a merely momentaryerrand—had better, for he might bewatched, keep up his bluff by walking into Americus.

And has he shifted to Portland? And why?Move to Portland when you've come into $50,000? I can't make . out head or tail of it!” An hour of walking. And enough.Jerry turned back toward Ironburg.The recent interview, exactly because it was unsatisfying, provideda stimulant and Jerry recalled theaddress of a possibly helpful acquaintance.“Mart MaeDoweQ!"

EDECentral United Church, Wood-stock, was the acene of a verypretty wedding on Wednesday after noon, July 22nd, when Eleanor Anna, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Ede, of Woodstock, became the bride of Allan Jeffrey Wilson, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Ewart Wil son of Ingersoll. Rev. A. E. Kewl^taofficiated. ” The winsome bride entered the church at four o’clock to the strains of the wedding music played by Mrs. S. Bowyer, and was lovely in her wedding gown of white silk net with sweetheart neckline and skirt of pleated ruffles. The long sleeves fell to pointe over the wrists. She wore a Juliet bonnet cap and veil of illusion finely pleated tulle, and carried a fan of Hollywood and Kil- larney roses. Attending the bride was Mrs. Donald Pattinson, of Woodstock, as matron of honor and Miss Doreen Gill of Kitchener, as bridesmaid, wearing similar becoming frocks of embroidered chiffon, and pleated Dutch caps of the same material, in powder blue and pale pink respect ively and carrying cascade bouquets of Briarliffe roses. The groom was attended by Cameron Bailey of Ing ersoll, and the Ushers were Allan C. -Wilson of Sudbury and Jack Belton of London. During the signing of the register Mrs. A. Bottoms sang “All Joy Be Thine.” Following the ceremony a recept ion was held at the home of bride’s parents, where Mrs. Ede, in a be coming floor-length gown of rom ance pink with navy accessories, and corsage of Jphanna Hill roses, and Mrs. Wilson, mother of the groom, in a smart floor-length gown of Windsor blue with navy accessariesand corsage of Talisman Yosefc^v- ceived the guests with the bridal party. The prettily appointed table was centred with the wedding cake (tanked by tall ivory tapers, and lovely bouquets of garden flowers, and a dainty buffet luncheon was served by five friends of the bride, Mrs. Allan C. Wilson of Sudbury, sister of the groom; Mrs. Lome Moon, Miss Clara Goodall of Wood- stock; .Miss Jeanne Smith of London, and Mrs. Robert Ewing of St Cath arines. Later the happy couple left for a wedding trip by motor. For travel ling the bride chose a frock of pow der blue silk jersyy with navy wool redingote, navy and white accessor ies and a corsage of pink roses. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson will take up residence in Ingersoll, carrying with them the best wishes of their host of friends for a happily wedded life. When the tramp asked the dear old lady for assistance, she shook her head regretfully. “I’m sorry I can’t do anything for you,” she said. "But here's the vicar; go and askhim.” She lingered to see what happen ed- The tramp and the viear spoke together, and then money passed between them. Then the vicar pass ed on. “Well,” she said as the tramp came towards her again, “boa fip'ich did he give you?" r “Him give me!” the tramp snort ed. “He took a bob off me for his bloomin’ organ fund!" Walking past a well-known jeweler’s shop, an army officer noticed two shabbily dressed young sters staring intently at something in the window. Curious to know what interested them so much, he watched and realized they were both keenly eyeing a dock ticking away in one corner. Then one lad turned to the other with a stem look and said • “Time’s up!” Reluctantly the other removed the lollypop from his mouth and pawed it over. 4 THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY^ JULY 30,1942 Page 7OTTAWAWEEK BY WEEK— by Dean WRaon — PURPOSE OF EXTENSION Although the usual reasons exist-for the widening of the call or in.creasing the number of men called . ’tp. including the grounds of unfit-physically and of the postponements on account of occupations onfarms, war industries or other essential work, yet the most impressivereason of the latest widened enforcement of the National ResourcesMobilization Act seems to . be forthe purpose of strengthening theforces on the Atlantic and. Pacific coasts and adjacent territories. Indeed. a hint of this real purposehas been given by Premier Macken zie King himself when he said: “Recent events, no less than a glanceat the map, are enough to disclose that, in a tactical sense, the defenceof our east 'and west coasts is inseparable from the defence of the adjacent territories of the United States. To strengthen our own immediate defences it will be necessaryto ectend the scope of comoulsory service to those areas. “It is obviously part of the joint defence plan. FARMERS’. HARDSHIP An echo has been heard in the House of Commons of a previouscomplaint that great hardship isbeing worked on farmers becausethey cannot use their trucks to go anywhere on Sunday, even tochurch, without getting a specialpermit. This complaint was directed to Hon. J. L. Ilsley, Minister of Finance, who replied: "I made enquiriesand was informed that an order had been issued by regional officialsto make provision for certain cases.The member’s remarks were brought to the attention of the proper officers and I was told that provisionhad already been made for attend ing to particular cases. Discretionarypowers were vested in the regional officers”. , DEMAND PARLIAMENTARY‘SECRETARIES A demand has been made in Parliament that Canada should follow the time-tested practice of the British Parliament in creating parliamentary secretaryships, with thephasis being placed on the fact thatnow when the nation is in peril, is the proper time for such action.Moreover, it has been pointed outthat Sir Robert Borden had sug gested it in the last World War, buthe was alleged to have been “pur-suaded against his will,” by some of his own Cabinet. united Canada.”"The genius and vision,” saidHon. B. R. Hanson, Leader of theConservative Opposition in Parliament on the same day when PremierKng made the above statement, “ofSir John A Macdonald, the patienceand tolerance of Sir George Etienne Cartier and the helpful co-operation of Brown, Tupper, Tilly, andthe other fathers resulted, as Sir John A. forecast, in the development of a friendly nation, a powerful people to stand by Britain in North America in peace or war.”“If democracy is to ’survive", hecontinued, “the freedom and liberties for which the Fathers of Confederation labored long and tfellmust be preserved. The preservation of those liberties depends andwill depend on the strength and ofthe united effort of each of the Allied nations.”M. J. Coldwell, C.C.F. leader,urged Parliament on the same occasion to determine “what shall bedone now to make our contributionthe most effective we can make it.’J. H. Blackmore, Social Creditleader, stated: “I have been thinkinghow greatly disappointed the Fathers of Confederation must feel asthey look down upon Canada from their high places and reflect howmuch unhappiness there is and hasbeen in our country the last 20 •The important point is that thesemomentous statements signify that political good-will exists, with thismeaning that the political circumstances in this war favour unity of effort to a far more comprehensiveextent in Canada than it is generally recognized by the man-in-the- street. . , .Political experience, involvinglong and frequent trials over agreat many years, indicates clearlythat complete and lasting unityamongst masses cannot be create* by the simple process of an arrangement or plan of their leaders, take-wise, this cannot be created byforce. It is a course or operation of human society which requires goodwill amongst the masses. If this doesnot exist, there can Be no lasting or complete unity.In our own time, the dictators ofGermany, Italy and Japan haveused both fraudulent plans and force to establish so-called ‘unityamongst the masses, but there isnot the slightest doubt that at the first opportunity such so-called“unity" will break down because there is no good-lwill amongst the.masses. Indeed, even in Germany,there is no lasting unity. The Prus sians Bavarians, and Saxons are notreally a permanently united people.Upon the first political revolution inGermany, they will act as separateentities because there is no goodwill Though the people of Austriaand Germany have many featuresin common, yet there has neverbeen any lasting union betweenthem since there is no good-will. The people of the Balkan countries wereheld together under Turkish rulefor hundreds of years, but this un ion did not last since there was nogood-will. The people of Poland didnot become united with the Bubsibiu, Germans or Austria, since thc/e wasno good-will.

(Reproduction Prohibited.) LONG DEBATES MARK SESSION Although the legislators have been sitting almost continuous# since January 21, yet the seriousness and gravity of the events can be obser ved by the fact that unusually long debates have marked the discussion in the House of Commons, with all political parties showing this tend ency towards slow and careful de liberation on every topic. There was an unusually long debate on the “address” right at the start, on the plebiscite question, on war appro priation, on the budget itself, on the military service amendment and »o forth. Indeed, this has been a peculiarity of this long session. SHORT WAVE STATION It is indicated in well-informed circles along Parliament Hill that short wave broadcasting should be part of the Canadian war effort and it is now no secret in the na tion’s capital that such a station would be a good addition to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Though this has been favored in the past, yet its great cost has been one of the reason’s why it was not car ried out. However, there seems to be a sign that a changed attitude prevails and that such a station is desired, particularly on account of the war. NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH It has been indicated in this column in the past that claims of serious disunity both in Ottawa and outof it often contain flamboyant andintemperate exaggeration of thetruth. To-day, it can be stated thatthis is even more so because evi dence of such time-wasting andeffort-wasting activities keep coming to light in such volume that this veteran observer must report thatwell-informed sources backstagealong Parliament Hill hold that tobelieve these claims of disunity is to Ioverstate or to exacerbate the actual situation.Though for some time now the Government in Ottawa has becomesurrounded with political differencesof a very perplexing character, yet there is much convincing evidenceto suppport this belief. But it wouldrequire far too much space to pre sent in detail all the arguments orreasons. However, a specific instanceof importance might be mentioned nt this time. It consists of precise•statements made in Parliament in asimple day’s proceedings by the lar Urs of every responsible politicalptfrtv, showing the extent of goodwill ’ or mutuhl desires for unity which exist in reality to-day alongParliament Hill, if these statementsare real between the lines.“Today the very existence of thenation which was established in 1867is threatened,” said Premier Mackenzie King.” a few days ago, for the first time since ConfederationCanadian soil was attacked. Then atanother point, the Premier said:“Canada's Army is strong and it isunited by a common purpose. It isthe duty of all Canadian citizens tobe no less strong, no less united bya common purpose. On this 75thanniversary of Confederation theneed is greater than ever before inour history to let nothing divide usas a people, to compose our differences, and to throw all our energiesinto the task of saving our countryand helping to save the freedom ofthe world. If we would be worthy ofour past and the sacrifices of the past; if we would be worthy of themany brave sons of Canada who, inthe present war, have given their all and'of the half million youngCanadians who have offered, if needbe, to die for their country, it is our supreme duty, while striving forvictory, to preserve for them andfor future generations a free and iF Every IO<Jacket o ' WILSO? S FLY PADS m o r e arssssa'jM! CURB OF LIQUOR SALES DEMANDED There h much discassion backstage in Ottawa about the demand made in Parliament for curbing liquor sales during the war in order that the 3340,000,000 spent on liquor each year may be used for other purposes. "I am fearful of the tremendous increase of the drink billof this country at a time when thiscountry is at war and I think some thing ought to be done about it,” said Hon. R. B. Hansop, leader of the Opposition, in requesting the Government to make an effort to limit liquor sales during wartime in co-operation with the various pro vincial governments. In fact, one Minister admitted that “sales are going pretty fast” and that many requests had been received for such a curb, though at the same time there did not seem to be any con structive policy in the suggestion for dealing with the situation with out bringing into play the old evils of prohibition. FACTS VERSUS FANTASIES It must be reported at this time by this reteran and imparital ob server that common talk or any story current without any known authority for its truth concerning the Government's actions or likely actions on conscription for over seas must not cause the man-in-the- street to deduct by way of inference or construction popular but unfound ed reports that may arouse all kinds of suspicion and all sorts of gossip. It is recognized along Parliament Hill that whispering tongues can poison truth, and the principal spokesman of the Government, Pre mier Mackenzie King, has now put an end to any doubt whkh may have existed about what the Gov ernment's actions have been, are, or will be on conscription for over seas with the conclusion being that his declaration, more than anything else, indicates what is or is not in conformity to facts or realities of the case. There have been assumptions that Premier King might prefer personal retirement to enforcement of all-out conscription for overseas, especially in view of a recent declaration in Parliament “I wish , however,” said Premier King on that occasion, “to leave no doubt in the mind of any honourable member that, if I am at the head of the Administration when such a decision is reached, I shall ask to be assured of the con fidence of the House of Commons before the Government proceeds to enforce the decision.” Upon care ful inquiry backstage along Par liament Hill, there is no evidence whatsoever to support any opinion that Premier King intends such an inference to be drawn from his words, having no intention to retire now. Again and again, there have been allegations that the Government’s actions on conscription for overseas were tempered somewhat by a de termined effort to appease the Prov ince of Quebec on account of its strong political support. “In the last general elections, “declared Premier King,” I did win the sup port of the Province of Quebec to the extent of all but one of its en tire representation in this House. Perhaps, this might not be an in opportune moment to remind hon ourable members a nd the country that, apart altogether from the polit ical support obtained from the Prov ince of Quebec, I was accorded in the other provinces of Canada a considerable majority over and above that of the combined representation in this House of Commons of the Conservative Party, the C. C. F., and the Social Credit Party. In deed, the supporters of the Govern ment from the provinces other than Quebec number all but half of the total membership of this House of Commons.” In other words, it is a blunt retort that the Government does not depend upon the political support of Quebec in its existence or its attitude on conscription for overseas. There have been conjectures or suppositions that the Government’s actions on conscription for overseas were influenced by signs of serious insurgency within the rank of the Liberal Party, particularly after the Minister of Public Works, Hon. P. J, A. Cardin,, resigned suddenly from the Cabinet, with fears being expressed that he would lead a new political party against the King Government. This surmise is wrong. The former Minister resigned only on account of a timely disagreement over the principle of conscription for overseas. “In the name of heaven,” said the Hon, P. J. A. Cay, din, “wiiat is the use of having a dead principle in our statute books.” But Premier King disagreed with this viewpoint and he answered this charge by stating that “at any mo ment its application may become an urgent necessity.” To what degree this conjecture is based on •canty evidence can be noted by the mutual friendship still evident between Premier King and his former colleague who has supported the Government on the budget There have been implicattanc that the Administration desired to mollify Useful Hints On Storage of Bread There are few foods which have the sustained preference of consum ers as that of bread, and yet rela tively little attention is given to its storage. While bread is not gener ally considered a perishable food, its eating properties may easily* be spoiled by improper storage condi tions, Bread is at the peek of its flavour and palatability during the first 36 hours after it leaves the oven and, where possible, purchases or baking should be restricted to the requirements of such a period. As bread is frequently stored for a much longer time, It should be stored under proper conditions if it is to retain the most of its good eating properties, says Harry Miller, Cer eal Division, Central Experimental Farm. Ottawa. Mould, the colour of which may vary from a light grey to an in tense black, is probably the most common cause of spoilage in bread. The moulds usually grow in pat- chesr^vhich Increase in size until the whole loaf may be attacked. In the early stages, the mouldy patch may be cut off and the bread used up. When a large area is moulded, the bread should be destroyed, and the bread storage then thoroughly dis infected. The condition known as “rope” on the other hand, develops on the inside of the loaf, and the damage cannot be noticed until the loaf is cut The centre of a “ropey” loaf becomes slightly discoloured, some what sticky and stringy. As the con dition develops a heavy characteris tic odour is noted, while the dark colour and doughineu becomes in tensified. When these conditions are found to exist the infected bread should be destroyed and a thorough dean-up made. Where bread spoilage occurs in commercial bread notify your baker at once, so that he may bo able to take action. If the bread Is baked in the home, the addition of 2 tea spoons of vinegar for every four cups of flour usually prevents the trouble. Bbread should be baked a little longer than usual and thor oughly cooled before being storedaway. Bread should be stored in a clean. or to euphemize its attitude towardsantl-conscriptionlsta, but this cannotbe implied from the outspoken andsevere castigation of the anti-con-scriptionista by the head of the Ad ministration. “They are prepared,” said Premier King, “to leave to others to do for Canada, for their homes, and their families what they are unwilling to do not only for others but even for their own coun try and for themselves. They refuse to see the need to bring about the destruction of the enemy as speedily as possible and as far as possible from Ganada. They are prepared to risk subjecting the Can adian people to the fate of those countries which, in such numbers, have already experienced the terrors of invasion and of conquest by a ruthless and relentless foe.” There have been adductions that Parliament fwill still have to vote or debate on conscription itself in face of Bill 80 since the pledge was giv en by the Government’s head spokes man that Parliament will be consult ed before conscription for over seas will be actually enforced. How ever, this meaning is not derived from a correct interpretation of the exact words. “May I say as emphat ically as I can," said Premier King,” “that in no case would I wish to countenance a second debate on conscription." Then he continued in part: “I intend, at the same time, to see that,before the Administra tion assumes the additional Responsi bility of enforcing its decision, hon ourable members are given an op portunity not for any second debate on the question of conscription but of showing their confidence or want of confidence in the Administra tion. In other words, the Government would be prepared to stand or fall on its decision, if the circumstances warranted that immediate action on conscription for overseas should be taken. It would not be a debate on the principle of conscription for overseas but a mere approval or dis approval of the Government’s de cision. This procedure would in volve no lengthy delay and no great formality since, if this happened when Parliament's not actually sitting, it can be brought together in a few days under the wartime practice of adjourning rather than proroguing the session and since there would be no need for further legislation it can be accomplished by a vote of confidence based on a simple resolution or some other form of expression in Parliament. (Reproduction Prohibited) HEALTH LEAGUE ofCANADA The Health League of Canada directs attention to a bulletin issu ed by the local Health Department which should become familiar too everyone who is going from city to country for holidays. The bulletin warns of the dang ers of infection from impure water and milk, and supplies necessary pracical details as to protective measures.The public is reminded that un pasteurized milk may carry germs that’ cause typhoid, scarlet fever, tuberculosis, diphtheria or other infectious disease. Impure water may cause typhoid fever, and health authorities warn that no water supply can be considered safe unless it it treated. Moreover, there is literally no cost to vacation ists to render their water and milk supply safe when they are out in the country. The process tor which germ-free milk and water caWtoe had merely requires a little work and continuous thoughtfulness. To sterlize water: Mix up a stock solution of chlorine by rubbing to a thin cream" a teaspoonful o£ chlor ide of lime with a little water in a cup, then fill the cup with/ water. Then dilute this solution with three more cups of water. This stock solution, if kept in a tightly stopper ed bottle, will retain ita strength for a week. Use a teaspoonful of this solution to two gallons of drinking water, and it should be thoroughly mixed and allowed to stand for at least ten minutes before using. If these directions are followed, badly polluted water can be sterilized within ten minutes! To pasteurize milk: Heat in a double boiler until it reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit Then set the boiler on the back of the stove for 30 minutes, after which cool the milk quickly and place it in the ice box. If there is no thermometer handy, the bottle or boilerful of milk should be placed in a pail or saucepan of water which is filled so that the water outside is about as high as the milk inside. Heat the milk until the water boils, then re move from the fire, pour out about a third of the hot water and refill the saucepan or pail with cold water to the former level. Keep the milk in thia for a least 30 minutes and then remove to cool. The public is reminded that pasteurization does not affect either the taste or the food value of the milk, and that after pasteurization the milk should be treated the same as raw milk to prevent it becoming sour. Mothels who are taking infants out to the country should of course be parti cularly watchful of these details.* cool, dry place, away from other substances which have decided flav ours or odours. Where it is stored in large amounts, bread should be placed on racks, preferably screened in, one loaf high and so placed to allow adequate ventilation. The racks should be scrubbed frequently and thoroughly dried before bread is placed on them. Bread should never be stored for any length of time in pasteboard shipping containers. In the home a well ventilated bread box should be used. The bread box should be scrubbed and aired in the sun from time to time. If wrapped bread is used, the wrap per should be removed before the bread is placed in the bread box and left-over bread should never be allowed to accumulate. As most of the bread spoilage takes place dur ing the humid summer weather, extra care should be taken during this period. THE RAILWAY AND THE WAR . . .

Last yearwas Snead's third victory in theOpenxand he would like nothingbetter than a victory this year totie the record of four open winsnow held by Leo Diegel.The defending champion’s entryhas not yet been received at localgolf headquarters, and for a verygood reason. Snead is in theUnited States Navy, and permission must be secured from hissuperior officers to allow him totake part in this tournament. Arequest for this permission has been despatched through the proper channels and it is confidentlyexpected that Snead will tee offwith the field at Mississauga onAugust 6th in quest of his fourthwin.Since the House of Seagram first presented the trophy in 1936,the pames of some of America’soutstanding golf stars have beeninscribed on the parchment scroll.First there was Lawson Little,then “Light Horse” Harry Cooper.Snead’s victories came in 1938,1940 and 1941, with the 1939crown going to Harold “Jug” Mc-Spaden who is again entered thisyear. <Standing twenty-two inches from base to top, the SeagramGold Cup is one of the most coveted trophies in golfdom.

The goldcasket is ipounted on heavilychared silver feet with a Corinthian column at each corner. Twobeavers act as supporters of thiscasket and the Canadian coat ofarms is beautifully executed onthe front. The cup itself is ofGrecian design and made of gold.The superlative workmanship andexquisite design make thia trophy, which was made entirelyin Canada, one of exceptionalbeauty seldom seen in athletictrophies.The winning players receive aminiature of the cup for perma nent possession and have theirnames inscribed on the parchmentscroll which reposes in the base ofthe trophy.First prize money in the Canadian Open is 31000.00, with an additional <200.00 if the winner is a Canadian. In all. 33600.00 is alloted to be divided among the firstfifteen.The Canadian Open this yearwill be held at Mississauga, justoutside of Toronto, on August 6th,7th and 8th, and as in previousyears the field will include manyfamous United States and Canadian Golfing stars.The entire net profits of the 1942 Canadian Open and allRoyal Canadian Golf Association's operations for thia year willbe donated to the Canadian RedCross Sodety. Honey Can Help Out i The Sugar Situation With sugar naw rationed to half a pound per week per person, honey has an added value, for it can be used in many ways to replace sugar. Those who keep bees would do well to pay special attention to their care, says C. B. Gooderham, Dom inion Apiarist, Central Experimen tal Farm, Ottawa. < The heavy honey flow season is now approaching. The important points in management now are to keep every available worker busy and to provide sufficient laying space for the queen to provide re placements. To keep every worker busy there should be sufficient supers of drawn comb or full foundation ready for use when needed. In placing empty supers it is best to place them be low a Rfrtly filled one. It is general practice also to add them as needed rather than two or three at a time. When it is found that the queen has filled the "brood chamber, a frame or two of capped brood can be raised to the super above. They should be replaced with fully drawn worker comb in the brood chamber. Provision for fresh air by offset ting the supers a fraction of an inch is advisable in hot weather. Fresh water should also be made available. If it i* placed in an open pan a few chips of wood should float on the surface.In this way the bees can get it without drowning. Extra care at thia season of the year will be well repaid in extra stored honey. A good beginning oftentimes means a great deffi To emphasize the point may we^fremind you of the case of the young man who de siring to marry, secured « favorable hearing from his sweetheart’s iras cible father by opening the inter view with these words: “Sir, I know a way whereby you can save a lot of money-” 107 Mitox ARTIFICIAL ICE Regular Delivery Days Monday - Wedneeday 4 Friday and Saturday PageS PUTNAM ..$2.29 DORCHESTER ..50c AVON Angeles end one brother, George McKee of Alberta.

It is a good plan at this time of the year to make a check up. Early crops such as radish and spinach that may be passing to the seed stage should be removed^ not only to prevent an unnecessary drain on the plant foods'in the soil, but to eliminate an ideal breeding ground for cutworms and other in sect pests, says Alan G.
