THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1947 Weeds May Increase In Value This paper recently had something to say about the ■fceed situation, maintaining that weeds, like practically everything else, have their place in the scheme of things. It is when they get into the wrong places the hue and cry is raised against them. But annoyance in such cases need not lead to an effort at wholesale extermination. The /'creatures on this earth depending on them for natural sustenance, are entitled to them. Now comes an article in the London Free Press, by its columnist, H. C. Mason, illustrating a newly- discovered use for weeds. According to newspaper clippings received by the columnist, they are be­ coming a profitable crop in Montana. Farmers, who a few years ago, had nothing good to say for mustard, are now harvesting the seed, selling it to millers, who extract the oil, and reaping a hand­ some profit thereby.The oil has been found to be as valuable as high grade soybean or linseed oil, and has . been used successfully as cattle feed. The call appears to be not “too much mustard”, but not enough, for plant breeding experts are seeking to develop a heavy yielding variety of the recently “noxious” weed. When that has been accomplished, mustard’s posi­ tion will indeed be elevated in agricultural econ­ omics. Other weed seeds also are thought to be valuable in this respect. Thus once more is demonstrated the truth that it is not wise to despise anything upon this earth (even rats, in their proper place, are useful), for that which occupies a lowly position to-day, might through unexpected circumstances, be elevated to a lofty one to-morrow.

Miss Stirton has been accepted for over­ seas duty and will leave shortly with a U.S. nur­ sing unit. /Work On Sewerage Project Calls For Co-operation Work has commenced on the projected sewerage system. There is a general feeling of relief in this, in spite of realization that an uncomfortable time lies ahead before it is completed. The mayor and councillors are to be commended for facing the problem and not side-tracking it, as was done for far too long. No one envies them their posi­ tion. Nothing but hard work lies ahead. Hair pot already grey will probably be so before the whole thing is finished. Opinions will differ on methods probably. But the undertaking is in the hands of qualified experts, who, if they receive the co-operation which they deserve from the citi­ zenry, will give the best possible service. This is our testing time. A mass of detail, not realized by the public generally, is involved. The laying of one comparatively short stretch of pip­ ing alone, requires consent from twenty property owners before it can be carried over their land, Any delay or hesitancy on their part might hinder the progress of construction for days.. It is inevitable that personal inconveniences will occur. Sometimes we might have to enter our homes by' a detour and over piles of earth. Dust will fly in more ways than one. Housekeeping will be complicated. But through it all, the con­ structive feature of the upset must not be lost sight of. Our town is not being torn up by the forces of destruction. We are enduring all this in order to effect a necessary improvement—to make it a cleaner, more sanitary and more de­ cent place in which to live and to which we may invite outsiders to settle. The Dereham Council met in regular session in the Council Chamber of Dereham Centre on Mon­ day, August 13th, when the following members and officers were in attendance: Reeve James Stoakley; Deputy Reeve, H. H. Moulton; Council­ lors, Isaac Holland, Wm. H. Chambers and John H. Smith; Clerk, Alex. Bell and Treasurer John W. Hopkins. The market on Saturday had a much better showing of vegetables and other products than has been the case for some time. Eggs are on the ascend and sold at 38c tl 40c per dozen. But­ ter was selling generally at 45c. Beans were 7c a quart; peas 10c a quart; black currants sold at 18c per box; Wack raspberries, at 20c a box; chickens sold frong50c to 95c each; ducks at $1.25 a pair. A highly respected citizen of Ingersoll passed away on Monday, August 13th, at his home on Bull street, in the person of William Wallace in -jns 69th year. The late Mr. Wallace had been a valued employee of the Ingersoll Packing Com­ pany, being for many years in charge of the ship­ ping department. Besides his wife one daughter, Mrs. H. B. Muir of London and two sons, MacDon­ ald Wallace, Ingersoll and Morrison Wallace in France, are left to mourn his loss. There Is No Need To Boast It has been suggested that Canadians all have a common fault, in that they are said to lack what the Scots call “a guid conceit" of themselves. Travellers coming to our country like the place and tK? people. To some of them it appears like Heaven on earth, compared with other places. They wonder why our people do not appear more pleased with themselves and their lot. They seem to think we should talk more about it. Probably the truth is that the average Canadian is very pleased wjth his lot. It is true, some leave the country, but t^ose who do, in most cases, do so for more money. But there are some things that money can never buy and Canada has those in large measure. In the "dogfights” in the air over Europe, it is doubtful whetherlour fliers ever thought of money. More probably they thought of the land that had given them birtfh; of the friendly, industrious email towns scattered across this country; of its mountains, lakes and streams; of the millions of comfortable happy homes. Those were the things for which they fought; to which they were eager to return. Those are the things that mean most, but of which one is least inclined to speak, much less btoast. < Canada's history is a comparatively short one. But it is a full one, as well as glorious. There is every reason to believe that its future will be equally so. 11 YEARS AGO Thursday, Augu*t^20th, 1936 PERSONALS Rev. Father F. Maurice of Sarnia, is visiting athis home hepe. Mrs. George Craig of Detroit, is visiting with relatives and friende in Ingersoll. Robert Paterson and Howard Yule have return­ ed home following a motor trip to Montreal and Ottawa. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Barrett of Vancouver, left for Toronto on Monday morning from where they will leave for their home after visiting for the past month with relatives in Ingersoll. Four persons were convicted in^tolice court here Tuesday morning charged with violating the parking by-law which prohibits parking on Thames street for a period exceeding 30 minutes. Death came with startling suddenness to a highly esteemed and widely known resident of North Oxford Township, in the person of Mrs. John O’Neil, who passed away on Thursday after­ noon at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Robert Stephenson, North Oxford, in her 79th year. The death occurred Wednesday morning, Aug. 19th, of a widely known and esteemed resident of Dereham Township, in the person of Charles F. Nancekivell at his late residence, Lot 22, Con. in his 60th year. He had been confined to his bed since Tuesday of last week. Turf Club Preparing For Good Races ? Plans for the annual horse races, to be held next Sautrday, at Victoria Park and sponsored by the Ingersoll Turf Club, are in the final stage. Indications are that the event will be of outstand­ ing interest Local generosity is marked by sub­ stantial donations to the prize list which is attract­ ing a full list of entries. There is keen interest in the new mobile start­ ing gate to be in operation for the first time here. Horse lovers will travel a long way to see a good race. Their highest hopes are likely to be realized in Ingersoll on Saturday. The transfer of A. O. Murray, manager of the Ingersoll Branch of the Imperial Bank of Canada to Thorold, removes from Ingersoll not only a highly esteemed resident and business associate, but a sport loving enthusiast who took an active interest in amateur baseball circles as well as other sports. The Ingersoll Intermediates took the third game of three-in-five series from the Tillsonburg Pan- drieds in a good game of ball played at Victoria Park here Saturday afternoon by the score of 8 to 4. Batteries: Tillsonburg. G. Foster, Ker and Armstrong; Ingersoll, Clement, Byers and John­son. GENERAL CROP REPORTFROM COAST TO COASTGeneral crop report across Canada as supplied by the Bank of Montreal from its branches: In the Prairie Provinces, ex­ tremely high temperatures and hot, drying wide have caused further widespread deterioration of, crops, especially throughout Saskatchewan and a large part of Alberta. Pros­ pects in Manitoba continue favour­ able. Little precipitation has been received in the areas where it is most needed, particularly North, North­ western and South-western Saskat­ chewan and all of Alberta, excepting the Northern districts. Good general rains are required to prevent fur­ ther damage. Cutting of early bar­ ley and Fall rye has commenced. Scattered hail damage has occurred, with the hevaiest loss reported in Northern Alberta. Pastures in drought areas are badly in need of rafn and Winter feed for livestock will be scarce in some districts. In the Province of Quebec, favourable weather conditions during the past week have resulted in crops gener­ ally showing good growth, but in many districts rain has again delayed the harvesting of a good hay crop. The season remains considerably later than normal. Grains in general continue to make progress. Pasture land is in good condition. Root crops are doing well. Warm, dry weather would be of benefit in most areas. In Ontario, warm, dry weather dur­ ing the past week has benefited crops generally. Cutting of an aver­ age crop of Fall wheat is well ad­ vanced and threshing has commenced in many years, Spring grains, on a substantially reduced acreage, are ripening rapidly and harvesting should be general in a week or ten days. Storing of an average crop of fair to good hay is nearing comple­ tion. Com, while making good pro­ gress, is late and growth has been uneven. Roots, tomatoes, onions and beans are coming along well. A heavy crop of apples is in prospect, but other tree fruits will be below normal. Tobacco plants are making good growth. In the Maritime Pro­ vinces, in most regions, crops in gen­ eral continue to show progress. Har­ vesting of a good-average hay crop has again been delayed by rain in some districts. Pastures are in good condition. jdfl^RUPontinue to size well and a fair average crop is in prospect. Potatoes and other roots are progressing well and a good­ average yield is indicated. In British Columbia, weather conditions have favoured the growth of all crops dur­ ing the past week. Tree fruits con­ tinue to size well and apples have commenced to colour. A good crop of apricots has been picked and peaches and plums are now’ moving in vol­ ume. Heavy shipments of tomatoes are being made to markets and canneries. <.

Ellis, former chief en- gtneer and assistant director of Ohio's Department of Highways. One of the thousands of American visit­ ors to Ontario, interviewed by Can­ adian Opinion Research concerning their opinions of this province as a vacation centre, Mr. Ellis said he liked Ontario and would certainly be bacla He liked our shops and the generqg layout of the business sec­ tions and he thought there was more construction under way here than in his home state. “As a highway engineer,” he said, “I must offer compliments on , the engineering and planning accom- ] plishment of the Queen Elizabeth ’ Highway, A limited access highway such as this is intelligent anticipa­ tion, both of present and future (needs.” he added, explaining that . most road improvements both here and in Ohio were brought about only by sheer necessity and constituted only modifications of existing roads such as widening.«traightening, etc., usually outdated by the time the job was completed, /Mr. Ellis thought there was room ’ f' r improvement in Ontario’s signs and markings. He suggested the I placing of highway number markers immediately beyond main intersec- ' tions, a system used effectively in the U.S.A., he claimed. "It is not too difficult to get around Ontario with the aid of a road map,” he said, "but little things like this would pro­ vide for happier motoring." Referring to parking facilities, ,Mr. Ellis who is a chief executive of a large parking meter company, said that towns in Ontario with off-street parking facilities were very fortun­ ate. But the towns without such facilities seemed to introduce a sev­ ere bottleneck into traffic move­ ment. Referring specifically to the towns that had ample parking space in the market place area, he said, "towns that have this sort of thing are very fortunate; no such condi­ tion exists in Ohio.” He noticed that meter-equipped communities pre­ sented little problem to either the motorist who wished to park or drive through. He contrasted Lindsay with Orillia and pointed out that the lat­ ter, with no meters, was “sonie- thing of a nightmare for motor­ ists”. Mr. Ellis congratulated Toronto officials for providing parking space near the waterfront, handy to the business section. Traffic and high­ way engineers generally agreed, he said, that provision of a place for drivers to park when they reach their destinations was essential in modern traffic control. He thought that the lake front parking lots would satisfy Toronto’s requirements for some time to come. It was his opinion that traffic en­ gineering presented a difficult prob­ lem in education. “An engineer can offer a solution after a careful ex­ amination of a problem,” he pointed out, “but to develop a public con­ sciousness of the factors involved and the necessity of long term plan­ ning is very difficult. The economic conditions are usually too obscure to become evident upon a superficial examination. And then again, you find all sorts of inexpert and ill-in­ formed people offerimr specious and myopic solutions. Curiously enough, it seems to be this sort of things largely opinion based on insufficient evidence, which gets wider accept­ ance than the considered and formal analytical recommendations of ex­ perts.” Mr. Ellis scored the walking habits of the people in Toronto and else­ where in the province. They paid no heed to crossing signals or traffic regulations in general, he said. Each seemed to be equipped with an indi­ vidual set of rules for dodging traf­ fic. On the whole, he thought Ontario drivers were careful and courteous. He thought Toronto’s buildings gave “the impression of having con­ siderable substance, expected to last a hundred years. Good substantial walls and’ that sort of thing, which is a little foreign to what I’m accus­ tomed.” He would certainly come again to Ontario, he said.—"Cana­ dian Opinion Research.” Sister—“What are you looking all around the room for?” Little Brother—“Nothing.” Sister—"You’ll find it in the the candy was.

Some children ready to take time by the forelock, purchased their- books at theweginning of the holidays. This foresightedness will relieve the hec­ tic rush that has occurred on former years, when the bookshops presented a hectic scene of milling, clamour­ ing children and distracted sales­ people, with many* young customers disappointed at not being able to procure the required books.

She called at theirapartment, but was made a prisonerand taken to a small Isle, from(which she escaped to the Island[occupied by the Corbins. Stacy saved'her life, but she soon realised thatshe was a prisoner on the Island. "AH right. You say they hadthat young fellow bound and gagged. Well, he was a trespasser• in their apartment, wasn’t he? A^burglar—?’’ He bit down on thedead cigar viciously. “You say'they forced you to go with thim.But they didn’t ask you to go totheir apartment, that was yourown bright little Idea, wasn’t it?"Lotus Ames stared at CurtisCorbin across ftie magnificent (polished dining table at Belle ■Fleur.He was refuting every sugges­ tion she made in connection with ,the police. It was what she hadexpected. But she had to be sure. She decided to make him commit ^himself even further."But what about the German officer?" she demanded. "He told me he was patriotic and loved his Country."“What's wrong with that? Thewar with Germany ended monthsago. There are thousands of pa­triotic Germans—very fine people, most of them.”“Well, I guess that’s right ..."“There's another thing." Corbin senior laid the dead cigar asideand frowned at her. "StacV tellsme that you had a little trouble with the police yourself. Underthe circumstances 1 would advise .you not to do anything that would Invite them to look up your past."The advice was given in such alow tone that it sounded threaten­ ing.After breakfast. Stacy and Lo­tus strolled on the sunlit lawn around Belle Fleur. Her thoughts were racing."Dad’s right. Rosa. From a po­ liceman s viewpoint, your story would be as leaky as a sieve. Howcould you prove it? You didn'tSign any sort of written agreementwith these men, did you?’’ "No—1 didn't even get paid.""Well, there you are. There’sanother point—how could you ex­ plain the fact that you were in­volved and doing business withthem?"He reached up, ran his fingersthrough her hair. “Look, sweet,why don’t you stay out here a week or so with us? It’ll give youa chance to get over your scare.""What would Chloe say? X’d lose my Job.”Inwardly, she was triumphant.If she could stay at Belle Ifleur fora few days it would give her a chance to quiz the servants and dosome snooping on her own.“I’m going iu to town today. I’ll explain things to Mamselle Duvaland pick up your clothes." Stacy went inside to dress and Lotus took advantage of hissuggestion to majlce herself athome. She decided to explore out­ side first. Toward the back, behind a largeformal garden which separated them from the house, was a rowof small, one-room brick cabins.Several of these had been Joined together and cemented, and ironbars or meshing put across theiropen faces, where doors and win­ dows had bnce yawned. She wandered over to It, peer­ing into the varied exhibits ... Zoos had always repelled Lo­tus. The frightened discontent andrestlessness of imprisoned anim­ als deprived of the sunlight andtheir own natural habitat alwaysseemed to her a travesty on man’s sense of justice. Then she came to a glassed en­closure, There was sand on the floor, and springing from a largebox in the center of the glass andsteel-meshed cage, the gnarled and twisted branches of a dead tree. It was like coming upon an evil, leering stranger whom you hadhoped never to run into again.The boa which she had last seen on the'*dock in New Orleans wasstaring at her. His partially coiled,muscular body was suspended in ropelike loops for the dead tree.As she returned his malevolentstare, a hand was placed on hersore shoulder, spinning heraround roughly . . .“What are you doing here?" _____________L-------------------- Curtis Corbin's voice was harsh, ths expression in his cold blueeyes almost as venomous as thereptile's.For a cold, panicky momentLotus was afraid. Then the gripof Curtis Corbin's fingers on her shoulder relaxed and her com­posure returned. “Stacy told me to make myself at home." she explained. “I wasjust looking at the animals." Before he took his hand awayhe slid it down her arm to herelbow. She bit her lips to repressa shudder."What do you think of myBrazilian boa, eh?"“He's evil looking," she saidfrankly. “What became of hismate?"The eyes were hard again, prob­ing. “His mate? How did youknow he had one, Rosa?” “I saw it. I was with Stacy whenthe snakes arrived on the ship—the Gonzales. It was Mardi Gras day. There were two snakes then.”He was obviously startled andannoyed. Evidently Stacy had either forgotten or thought It bet­ter not to mention what he didon Carnival day or whom he bad spent it with.“Well, the other snake died. Itwas practically dead on arrival. “Thank God you’ve come! I'm having It stuffed for my study In the house.“You must like reptiles."She studied him curiously. Tfie whole Idea of snakes was exceed­ingly repugnant to her but Cor­bin's eyes were glowing with analmost fanatical Ifcht.' Stacy, dressed smartly In acream gabardine suit, stood onthe long narrow dock leading from the island. He was about to stepinto a streamlined little motorboat whose brass fittings andpaintwork were now reflected daz- zliugly In the water. He wavedand Lotus ran over to him. Sud­denly she was filled with an un­ controllable dread of being leftalone on this island with a manlike Curtis Corbin. "Stacy, take me with you!"He stared at her. *What is it,Rosa? What’s happened?" She was still rubbing her shoul­der in a gingerly way. “Nothingmuch—your father wanted me towatch the boa constrictor beingfed. The idea was mor* than Icould take. It—it upsel^ae.” “I'm sorry.” He really looked contrite. His eyes seemed to holda certain wonderment at bisfather, "Dad takes such pleasure in his zoo himself that he doesn'trealize that some other people arerepelled by the sight of cagedanimals."He realizes it only too well, shethought, and takes a malicious delight In teasing them.“Can't I go into town withyou?” she pleaded."Of course not. There’s no point in it—you’re here for ashort vacation.” His voice waslight but firm. "You write a note to Mamselle explaining things andI'll go speak to Dad for a mo­ment.” He handed her a small notebookand a petjcil and left.Lotus wrote a brief note. The sort of note which would informStu Lawrence she was sate andstill on the job it he inquired ofChloe. In general it was so In­nocuous that even strange eyeswould see nothing subtle in itsmeaning. The panic had been momentary.Sbh still had things to do at BelleFleur and of course must remain there.Besides there w as no othercourse. She was a prisoner. She was certain of it now.Her arrival at Belle Fleur had>i no surprise to either Stacy or his father. They had been fore­warned and were expecting her. The Corbins used that beaconlight on the belvedere at nightbut it had been kept on during the early morning hours to guKeher to the island. The dip andsuck of a pole she had thoughtshe had heard as she rested herpirogue on the hyacinth-coveredlake bad Indeed been another dug­ out following to make sure shereached the correct Island.The shadows were deepening and the gray beards of Spanishmoss seemed to take on a purpletinge as she followed the shore line towards the cypress swamp atthe other end of the island.She stood there thinking of what Stacy had said and peeringinto the thickets of the marshundergrowth when the bow of a pirogue came nosing around thebole of cypress. The dugout heldthe sleek wet bodies of several recently trapped muskrats andwas poled by a swarthy ill-kemptindividual with a cap pulled low over his eyes.The set of the straight should-'-rrs was familiar. It was Stu Law­rence! “Thank God you've come!” hesaid fervently."I never thought you'd be that glad to see me.”“The fact that I’ve spent halfthe day paddling around these damn bayous might have some­thing to do with it, you know.”How bitter and Insulting he could be she thought, and how charming when the occasion de­manded. Since she had known himthere seemed to have been few such occasions.He studied her analytically.“Are you all right?""Quite. I don't think they sus- pect me, but they won't fet’RBsgo back to town.”"That's because some of their goons are still working around theCafe Duval and it might be badif you recognized them. That little runt Haul is still doing businessat the same old stand. Find outanything?""Only that the servants don't particularly like the Corbins, butstay because Corbin pays betterthan other employers." She told him briefly what had happened to her since their last meeting."The dope came In on the Gon­zales, all right”, he said when shewas through. “It’s thick in thecity—gbe Jails are bulging withaddlcy." "Why can’t you force one of them to tell you his source ofsupply?""Because they don’t know them­ selves. It’s distributed by a varietyof systems. They’ve even been us-Kig the mails. Someone mingles with their crowd, the word ispassed along and the addicts mallmoney to a certain post office boxand enclose their address. Theequiylent amount in dope ismallZi back to them. The number is changed frequently. "Why don’t you station people at the Post Office?""We have, and this week no onehas come to collect the mail. I'm afraid they’re wise to us”.“Have you checked on the re­cipients of cargoes on the Gon­ zales?""All but Corbin. We’re savinghim for the piece de resistance." "I don't see how he could havegotten it—all he received was twoboa constrictors in a steel cage." "Have you seen the snakes?” "One of them, the other’s dead."“Dead, eh?” His mouth tight­ ened, "What’s he done with it?""Says he’s haying it stuffed forhis den.""See if you can get a look at U."He was looking beyond her. She.turned and saw that Lacbene' the gardener, was coming towardthem across the lawn. "Guess I’llbe leaving," Lawrence said. "Try to be out here at this same time‘each afternoon and I’lf show upif there’s any news." Lachene's gold front tooth madehis smile eem sinister as he cameup to Lotus. "What you do, Mam­selle, eh?" Lawrence was pushing off intothe shadow. Lotus let him getfurther out in the water before she answered the gardener: "Thiaman tells me he has some beauti­ful muskrat skins at his home. Ho wants to sell mo some, to have acoat made."Lotus guessed he was going toreport the incident to Curtis Cor­ bin. (To be continued) C. A. Lov e, Druggist Phone 72 Ingersoll FORECASTS BUMPER CROP OF TOBACCO ’ Returning from a tour of the prin­ cipal tobacco producing areas in Canada, Dr. Norman MacRae, Chief, Tobacco Division, Central Experi­ mental Farm, Ottawa, forecasts a record crop, “If good weather con­ tinues and if there is enough labor to complete the harvest, Canada will have a tobacco Crop possibly ten per cent greater than the previous rec? ord crop of 1946”, he said. Dr. McRae attributes this year's high production to greater use of improved varieties on increased acreage. Older varieties of flue-cured tobacco such as White Mammoth and Yellow Mammoth have been re­ placed by improved varieties devel­ oped by the Experimental Farms. Growers of burley tobacco have greatly expanded their acreage of Harrow Velvet arfH Haronova,' two varieties created by the Experimen­ tal Farms. This year’s greater acreage, Dr. MacRae attributes to a relatively high price level and a strong domes­ tic and foreign demand for Canadian tobacco. Hello Homemakers! The world belongs to the harvesters these days. With so much work to be done and such a short time to do it in, our men should have meals provided on the “dot" and the best meals we can prepare. Finally, if we remember to put strangers at east in a cool dining room or kitchen, we probably won’t want for help next harvest. Amounts required for 12 servings: Soup—Three quarts. Veal or Beef—Eight pounds as purchased.Potatoes—Four quarts, prepared. Vegetables—Three quarts, pre- pared. Lettuce and Cucumber Mix— Three quarts prepared. Bread—One loaf. Open Face Pies—Two pies. Applesauce—Two quarts. Drop Cakes—-Two dozen. Tea—One-quarter pound.

QUALITY PAWS Line 3 pie plates with plain pas­ try. Flute on an edge as for a lemon pie; cut strips of pastry for placing across the top. Chill pastry in elec­ tric refrigerator while the filling is being prepared. Mix together the flour, sugar, salt, nutmeg, sprinkle one quarter of this mix on the un­ cooked crusts.

TAKE A TIP 1. Do not prepare potatoes more than a hour before cooking, be­ cause they lose nutritive value and they may also become sour. 2. You may double a cup of salad dressing by the addition of an egg and a cup of milk. Beat thoroughly. • 3. Set the table for the harvesters well I in advance and pull the shades, put flowers in the room and close the doors to keep out excess heat. TH AMES FORD F. B. Holman of Ayr, is relievingE. S.

On the other hand weill had the box and for all I knowmay have rented it to some other needy soul. Besides, he may have lost a little by “leaning” that money to us at 3%. He might have made a better alternative investment. My own opinion is that he really wanted to get safety for his bond without paying us anything for it. Was it worth the effort?” Will somebody please tell another story. Some day a book will be written entitled “Humor in Busi­ ness”. It may have been done al­ ready. It’s a good subject Writing of money reminds me of something. In 1940, MacMillan and Company, published Colin Clark’s book “The Conditions of Economic Progress”, I have quoted it before. It listed labor income (per person) in thirty-one different countries, the United States, Canada, New Zea­ land, Great Britain, Switzerland, came in the order given, Russia was fifth from the bottom, 27th from the top. The first countries were demo­ cratic countries, the democracies with their stupid parliamentary gov­ ernments, with a press which can state anything it wants to state— fSWe from libel, of course, seem to be doing fairly well. Communism, from material standpoint seem to be a rather hopeless philosophy, suitable mainly to backward looking people. Still I am in favor of more criticism —criticism of a constructive nature never hurt anybody much less those who talk too much and do too little. WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM " MY WEEK "— by —R. J.

He had spent the greater part of his life, in different branches, mostly in the Province of Quebec. 1 asked him, as I often do with all classes of people, for the funniest incident in his business experience. This is the one he placed first in the list. I give you the story as closely as I can but I cannot put on paper the fine Irish voice of the man who told it to me as he imitated the tone of his customer on this occasion: 478A Dundas Phone 1 847 WOODSTOCK, ONT. extra money ser- or visit Finance near your Excess Profits Tax Ac Standard Profits Cl N O T IC Recent amendments to the above Ac* provide that all standard profits claims must be filed with the Depart­ment of National Revenue before C t All applications are required to S in such form and contain such information as may bribed by meMinister and the Minister mayjFeject an applicationthat is not made in such form ■ - -such information.

One day a cheque came in which wiped out his deposit and left him with a deficit of about $200. I phoned him and suggested that hejeome in and cover up or give us some security. “You are calling me about my account”, he said, and every word sounded as if-dt came from Dub­ lin. “How much did you say I was over?” “Two hundred dollars, I ans­ wered.” “Now how much would I be having in your institution last week?” “I looked it up. $550, I told him.” “Then did I call you up?” “No, why should you?” “Then why in hell should you call me up now?” “I was stumped, what could I do with a man like that?” “What happened then”, I said. “We paid his cheque, he covered it in two or three days. Sometimes he went over for a few dollars but we never mentioned it to him. I always felt that his answer was worth any risk we took.” Here is another one from the same source: A man came in one day and asked the price of a Safety De­ posit Box. The price was $5.00. He asked if I could let him have it for $4.00. I said, 'No, the bank doesn’t cut the price, everybody pays the same’. He went out sorrowing. “A few days later he came back and asked if we loaned money on victory bonds. This was during the first Great War and at that time, we loaned up to the full value of the bonds. He came in the next day and wanted to bor­ row $100. I made out the note, he handed me the bond . Imagine my surprise when I looked at it, it was for $10,000. I asked him why he wanted to borrow $100 when he had a bond for $10,000. He suggested that he needed it, I didnt* ask any more questions. After all he was entitled to the loan. “I forgot about it, then a few days later he stuck his head through the door and said: ‘Well it didn’t cost me $5.00 to get a Safety eposit Box from you did it?’ He was quite right. We paid him 3% interest and provided safety for his bond, he got what he wanted for $2.00 less than if he had rented a box.” But he didn’t get the box”, I said. The John White Co., Ltd.

A capon is ■ n unsexed male chicken. It differs rom the normal intact male in sev- ral respects.The justification for caponizing is he improvement it makes in the uality of the flesh, and not, as* is so requently stated, the greatly in- reased growth of the bird. As mat­ er of fact, there is no appreciable ifference in the growth of capons nd cockerels up to about six lonths of age, after which the apon continues to grow and lay on esh of a superior quality. Capons are more docile and less ctive than normal males, which ossibly accounts for greater de­ posits of fat dispersing throughout he muscles producing a superior lunlity of meat. Another advantage rained by caponizing is that, because New Arrivals Wilford's Printed Satin Gowns—$4.95 New Silk Gowns.....$3.50 Crepe Panties .... $1.69 Suede-Satin Panties, TeaRose, White, Blue $1.25 Ladies’ Broadcloth Py­jamas ... $2.95-$3.75 Children’s Cotton Panties,3 to 12.............45c-50c Children’s Cotton Vests—- Ladies’ Cotton Hose.

Any breed of fowl may be capon- ized, but on account of the commer­ cial demand for large capons and the fact that the capon becomes superior to the cockerel only after the greater part of the growth period has teen completed, it is generally advisable to use the large or general-purpose breeds. Further information on the best breeds and age at which to caponize, the operation itself and the prepar­ ation of the birds will be found in Publication No. 613, ‘‘Capons and Caponizing.” A copy of the publica­ tion may be obtained by writing to the Dominion Department of Agri­ culture, Ottawa.
