HELD FATHER ANSON BANQUET A most successful Father and Son Banquet was held In the Verschoyle United Church basement on Friday evening last for the fathers and sons of the district. The event was arranged in connection with tho work of the Verschoyle Sunday School and there was ninety in attendance, which was good considering the blocked roads and the very bad con­ dition of the weather. Those who braved the elements were well repaid for their coming out by a fine supper of hot roast beef and other tempting delacicies. Following the supper the superin­ tendent of the Sunday School, Cecil R. Gill, took charge as master of ceremonies and presided over the program. An enjoyable sing-song in which all heartily entered was followed by the toast to "The Church,” proposed by Wm. Ellery and responded to by Rev. C. C. Strachan. Thos. Richons proposed the toast to "The Sunday School," to which Cecil R, Gill re­ sponded. The toast to “The Fathers" was propoked by Donald Strachan ■nd responded to by B. H. Moulton and the toast, “The Sons,” was pro­ posed by Roy Harris and responded to by A. Mullock. Mr. Wesley Wilford of Salford, spoke for tho visitors »nd in a brief address complimented the Sunday School for the arranging of such a splendid affair. Congratulations were also extended to the members of the Verschoyle Hockey Team and all joined in singing "For They Are Jolly Good Fellows”, Lorne McKibbon moved a vote of thanks to the ladies of the church who served the fine supper and Mrs. William Allison replied on behalf of the ladles. During the evening Norman and Wilfred Smith favored the gathering with violin selections and vocal solos ■nd Roy Harris and Walter Ellery rendered vocal duets. The program was brought to a conclusion with the singing of the National Anthem. France# Willard Memorial Service The Ingersoll Branch of the Wo­ men's Christian Temperance Union, held their Memorial Service, on Tuesday, February 26th, at the home of Mra. Thoa. Warden, Tunis street, at 3 p. tn. Owing to the icy con­ ditions of the streets, the attendance was not as large as expected. The meeting opened with the Sing­ ing of the hymn, “Rescue The Per­ ishing,” followed by the Bible read­ ing, on "Stewardship,'1 which WM very fine; and given by Mrs. Thos. Warden. Prayer was offered by Mrs. Millington, Mrs. Bowes and Mrs. Warden. The Lord’s Prayer WM repeated in unison. Another hymn was sung. A number of readings bearing on the life of Miss Willard, were read, and a short paper by the president, Mrs. Bowes, on the char­ acter and aims of Mias Willard. Thia closed this part of the meeting. The usual reports wore called for, ■nd then the meeting took the form of a free and easy discussion of our town and province generally, which proved very interesting. The meeting closed with the Miz- p«h Benedjption.

JAMES’ YOUNG MEN’S BIBLE CLASS Annual Father And Sun Banquet Was Outstanding Success. The annual father and son ban­ quet sponsored by the Young Men’s Bible class of St James’ Anglican Church, jwas held on Thursday even­ ing, February 21st, in the parish hall assembly room and was very largely attended. The guest speaker was the Rt Rev. Charles A. Seager, Bishop of Huron, who gave a particularly interesting and comprehensive talk on ths in­ fluences in life. He was introduced by Rev. C K. Masters, rector of the church, who said that one of the church'3 and also the world's great­ est problems of the day was that of the young men and how they shall face life under the present condi. tions. The speaker said that the young men in the world might be classed under the following heads: those that can find no opening in the matter of work, those that find but little, and those that find little of help, with the result that hope is taken away, and the young men take the wrong turn. \ J V. Buchanan very ably expressed the thanks of the gathering to Bishop Seager and urged the young men, tn take heed of the Bishop’s words. He expressed regret at the fact that the younger generation of the day is suffering for many of the sins of the older generation. F. H. Adams expressed the thanks of the gathering to the ladies who had prepared the banquet «nd to the members of the Mizpah girls’ Bible close who-served. Herbert Swallow, for a period of ten years or more, the beloved lead­ er of the Young Men’s Class, acted as master of ceremonies for the evening, and proposed the toast to the King. Mr. Swallow gave a re­ sume of the class work and achieve­ ments during the term of which had been leader. In athletics he said the class had at one time or an­ other, won every trophy offered in competition in the Inter Church Sports Leagues of tho town. There had been during this thne, some 70 young men passed through the class for confirmation and the class had contributed to the extent of its re­ sources, to every activity in the church. Alfred Boniface, the class presi­ dent, extended a welcome to the gathering and during the evening, Edward McMulkin gave two very fine vocal solos, accompanied at the piano by Richard Seldon. During the evening, Bishop Seag­ er paid a very fine tribute to Rev. C. K. Masters, the local rector. He said he knew that already Mr. Mas­ tens had touched the lives of those in his parish in Ingersoll and he knew too that his influence for good had permeated the place. This influ­ ence ho added was the influence of man of God. He also declared too that the former rector, the Rev. W. E. V. McMillen was doing splendid work among the people of Simcoe. Mrs. Geo. Telfer Hostess To Mission Circle Members of the Los.rn-To-’Do Weil Mission Circle of Trinity United Church held their regular meeting at the home of Mrs. George Telfer, Ann street on Wednesday evening last.

The sale was Conducted by Alex. Rose and the prices on horses, cattle, implements and feed is the highest reported so far this year. Cattle brought from $30.00 to $52.00 and other prices ranged accordingly. The attendance was large and from the trend of prices apparently conditions are decidely on the up-grade as some of the highest prices at an auction sale in several years were recorded at Mr. Pounds’ sale. St James’ Junior W, A. . Held Tea and Sale The women’s assembly room of the parish hail of St. James’ Angli­ can church was the scene of a good turnout during Saturday afternoon when a tea and sale was given under the auspices of the junior branch of the Women's Auxiliary. The centre part of the room was arranged with the small tables for the guests and these ,were centred with daffodils and roses. The gqests were received by Mrs, George Tribe assisted by Mrs. J. Firth and Mrs. Wm. Chaiton, while the younger members served. A table of home­ baking, at which there was a splen­ did display of pics, cakes, tart*, cookies, buns, and homemade bread, was well patronized and completely sold out A splendid display of home-made candy, attractively set forth in colored paper wrappers also found good returns and was completely disposed of.

GOOD REFORT OF INGERSOLL COLLEGIATEFROM INSPECTOR The Ingersoll Board of Education are in'receipt from the Department of Education the report of Inspector A. J. Husband who visited the school in January. The report is one of the most favorable received in some years and excerpts from it are as follows: “The members of the Board are to be commended for the efforts they have made to keep the building in a state of good repair and to make needed improvements. The following changes were made during the holidays: 1. Cement steps were built to both entrances. 2. Bicycle racks were placed in the basement of the gymnasium. 3. The laboratory and two class­ rooms were redecorated. 4. The outside window panes and sashes were painted. The small room adjoining the lab­ oratory should be renovated, provid­ ed with additional shelves and made more suitable for staring laboratory equipment I have raised the grading of two items in connection with the school building.The caretaker is giving good ser­ vice. The time table makes reasonably adequate provision for teaching the subjects that are selected in this school. The Principal has wisely made generous provision for the study of English. I have suggested a few minor changes In the present program. Some of the teaching I observed was fair, much of it was good, and some of it was excellent. All the lessons, however, gave evidence of careful preparation, both as to con­ tent and method. The spelling of the pupils in the first year of the Lower School and in the Junior Commercial class is considerably above the average. Much of the writing of the pupils in tho Junior Commercial class is good; in the first year classes it is only fair. As far as the reading of these classes was tested, it showed the need of more definite instruction iij the principles of reading. The work in book-keeping is satis­ factory. Tho pupils' drawings In Science are, as a rule, accurately made and neatly labelled. Some of the writ­ ing, however, is poor. Some excellent work has been done in art. Tho enrolment at this Collegiate Institute is slightly smaller than it was a year ago, but the daily attend­ ance is still as large as can be hand­ led satisfactorily by the present staff. Two of the classes, {one in the first year and one in tho second year), are quite large. This is regrettable as new studies are begun in each year of the Lower School, and when the classes are large, it is very dif­ ficult for the teacher to give the in­ dividual help that is necessary. It was impossible, however, for the Principle to equalize the classes,-as in each year the division was deter­ mined, to a great extent, by the courses of study selected by the pupils. Differences In size of class­ rooms have also to be considered. The other classes of the school are not unduly largo and satisfactory work is being done In them. The improved condition of the class-rooms and corridors is without doubt, having a stimulating effect upon the work of tho pupils. The value of tastefully decorated rooms hung with beautiful pictures in help­ ing, perhaps more or Ices uncon­ sciously, to foster an appreciation of neatness, order and beauty in the things of life cannot be overestima­ ted. The general tone of the school ap­ pears to be good. The good deport­ ment and industry of most of the pupils show that they are interested in the prosperity of the school as well as in their own success. It was pleasing to-«ule4h*LaDly rarely was there any seeming lack of co­ operation with a teacher in charge of a class. The Principal is to be commend­ ed for the effort he is making to strengthen the discipline of the school, and to secure for every teacher the freedom from petty wor­ ries that often lessen the effect! ve­ rt ees of she The phn"W' having a study period in each class­room for five minutes before the opening of the morning and after­ noon seasions U » good one. The classes that I visited are mak­ ing satisfactory progress In their •todies, and the courses in all the grades should be completed early enough in the spring term to permit the teachers to make a thorough re­view of the work with the c buses.I was pleased to learn that Che school had been successful in winning the First Carter Scholarship and also the cup which is awarded to the Cadet Corps showing the greatest proficiency in physical exercises. The members of the staff merit , commendation both for the faithful­ ness shown in performing their reg­ ular duties and for the interest they are taking in other activities in which the pupils are interested. I had the pleasure of meeting the following members of the Board: Mr. David, chairman; Mr. Healy, Chairman of the Collegiate Institute Property Committee, Mrs. Counter and Mr. Jackson. The regular weekly meeting of tho Women's Guild of St. James' Angli­ can Church was held in the assembly room of the parish hall on Thursday afternoon, with the leader, Mrs. J. D. MacDonald in charge and opened with prayer. Routine business was disposed of and the report of tho luncheon held recently was present­ ed. A cheque was given to the war­ dens to be applied on church expen­ ses. A donation of two dollars was made to the local baby clinic and welfare conference. The meet­ ing closed with the benediction.

STU Page 2 THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEB. 28, 1935THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNEW. R. VEALE PublisherPhono»—Tnbun* Office 13 Beoidenoe 442 A Care of the BreedingStock, end When to Hatch ChickenThe eggs of the domestic fowl require three weeks' incubation, and chickens to be reared for commercial purposes should be hatched in time for the pullets to come into lay be­fore the very cold weather sets in in the fall. Several factors influ­ence the time at which eggs should be sot, principally breed and var­iety, rearing conditions, including equipment, and the prices that may be obtained for the product. The lighter varieties, composed mostly of the Mediterranian breeds, should be hatched for ordinary pur- pOBM between April 1 and May 31, and the heavy varieties, including both English and American breeds, about one month earlier. Careful investigations on the Dominion Experimental Farms have given us the knowledge to feed and rear chickens in confinement; so that with suitable equipment it fa no longer essential to get the young birds out onto the soil as early as it was once considered necessary. The demand for early broilers and fall eggs will have some bearing on the desirable date on which to hatch, and the supply of fresh eggs in the fall it a condition that must be given consideration. Though to some extent influen­ ced by the necessity for getting uni­ form information from year to year when compiling data for genetical studies, the hashes of Barred Ply­ mouth Rocks at the Dominion Ex­ perimental Station, Harrow, are set at ten-day intervals from the middle of March till the end of April. This enables the pullets without undue forcing to reach their peak produc­ tion during the winter months. Too early hatching may result in prema­ ture moult, curtailing the winter profits, and later hatches aro seldom profitable, due to the slower growth of the chicken.in the hot months when the insects and succulent green feeds are scarce. Maximum fertility of eggs and viability of chicks hatched is of the utmost importance, and probably the greatest detriment to best results is due to neglect of the parent stock. For proper assimilation of the diet there must be plenty of fresh air and sunlight, and a plentiful supply of fresh drinking water. Though the quantity of feed supplied may be abundant, there may bo an unbal­ anced condition; or the absence of necessary greens may result in an over-fat condition and perhaps ster­ ility of tho male, while the hen de­ prived of the essential vitamins in her own diet is unable to transmit them io her offspring through the medium of the egg. Errors in this regard are never corrected by later efffort; a weak chick is always an unprofitable chick­ en. The breeding stock should have as much or more attention than the laying pullet There is no economy in poor feeding, and neglect will take its toll where it is least expected. The efficient poultryman is never careless. He knows that it only pays to feed the young stock right to produce large quantities of eggs, and that tho breeder, both male and female, to reproduce must be given equal attention. If the body weight and feather condition have been maintained, those feeds and concentrates that have given satisfactory results in the production of eggs will fit the breed, era for their duties in the hatching season. It is an advantage if the birds, can get into direct sunlight whenever the weather permits, or un­ der (adverse condition* the fertility may lie helped by the addition of one per celjt. cod liver oil to the ration and an abundant Mipply of good alfalfa. THURSDAY, FEB. 28th, 1935Knocking Out TheBottom RungThe people who are ataBo-manag- ing the business practices enquiry at Ottawa have great faith in the Can­ adian educational system. When a boy comes out of school they seem to think he knows all there is to know about business; he requires no ap­ prenticeship, no training. He is ready to take on an executive job at a big salary. Many of the outstanding business leaders of Canada started their busi­ ness lives in jobs that paid them ?1 a week or little more. They were glad to get an opportunity to be­ come associated with an established business; to start in on tho ground floor and learn a trade or profess­ ion; to go to school under capable and experienced men and gradually work their ;way upward learning as they climbed. Hut those days have passed. If a concern takes in a bright young lad, gives him a chance to learn something ebout business, pays him e moderate wage during the period when he is of little value but is simp­ ly learning a trade, it is taking a large chance of being summarily exposed in the public press as an exploiter- The men who gave their first jobs to, let us say, Sir Charles Gordon, Sir Herbert Holt, Thomas Bradshaw, Timothy Eaton and other Canadian executives of this and other generations who start­ ed at the bottom and reached tho top, probably did not realize that they were chisellers. The ambitious young lads who started out with thorn no doubt did not realize that something was being put over them, that they should have received from the first day the same salaries being paid to experienced men. The business practices enquiry has revealed some instances of fully experienced workers being exploited and paid miserably low wages. But as one pores through the evidence to isolate these examples for study and discussion one observes that the commission and its counsel are hope­ lessly confused between really im­ portant evidence of this kind, which deserves to bo blazoned in tho public press in order that publicity may bring remedy, and evidence con­ cerning young lads just out of school getting their start in life, appren­ tices, entirely inexperienced work­ ers, and men for whom temporary jobs have been created to give them a chance to earn a few dollars in a time of stress. -—(From the Financial Post) We Too Must Give A Helping Hand When your town is making a spec­ ial effort to bring trade to your own merchants it will, wo are sure, be able to depend upon the women who we are told do eighty per cent, of the family buying, to get right be­ hind the effort and put it across successfully. And not the towns folk alone are called upon to help, but the women who live in the sur­ rounding country, the women who want to find a market for the pro­ duce of the farm and garden in the town. We all want ready money, we all should think of stimulating trade in Canada, and especially at home. There is no use in abusing governments and blaming the men we have elected for all our Illa, if we do not think and act in a way to give a helping hand to plans made to bring better conditions. Pygmies in Transvaal That pygmies onco lived in tho northern Transvaal of Africa, has been proved by recent finds. Among the finds are the forgotten works of a vanished race Including an exten­ sive irrigation system and a largo dam. An implement of the type used by ancient copper miners also was uncovered. An altar, evidently made for sacrifices, was approached by causeways and stairways so email! that they could bo used only by very small persons. Seed of Pine Tree* The spruce or Virginia pine bear seed early in life and make a fair seed crop each year. Tho shortleaf and loblolly pinee bear few.. seeds be­ fore reaching 20 to 2 E yearn of age, ■nd then produce a heavy crop of seed every three or four years, with the intervening years being some­ what blank. The longleaf pine has a wait of six to seven years between its Med producing periods.

How To Make Money On Chicken* Canadian dressed poultry are booming on the British market, the shipments for the month of January totalling no loss than 871,000 pounds. Of that amount, 684,000 pounds of chickens, 140,000 pounds turkeys and 47,000 ducklings. A comparison with the corresponding January of 1934, when only 50,850 pounds were exported, clearly demonstrates the decided advance in this industry. Chickens from three to four pounds in weight command a ready sale in the British Isles, and while reports from London indicates that the quality of the Canadian chickens being sent forward is pleas­ ing the British consumer, Canadian experta are aware that the Canadian producers could obtain higher reven­ ue for these chickens by still improv­ ing the quality with little more trouble to themselves. There is nothing new in this. It will be recollected that only 23,93 per cent, of the chickens inspected in Canada in the fiscal year 1933-34 : qualified for “A" grade. Many of the chickens which are now being exported in such large numbers to Great Britain also do not qualify for "A" grade, for the simple reason that they were not sufficiently fat­ tened before being . marketed. As the Chief Market Poultry Inspector points out, the matter of fattening birds and thus increasing the pro­ ducers’ revenue, is entirely in the hands of the producers themselves. By a simple method of crate fatten­ ing on a mixture of finely ground home grains there is no reason what- ever why a very, high percentage of the poultry marketed should not be made to qualify for grade Special and grade "A” Putenger Pigeon Has Disappeared From U. S. It is difficult to reconcile the fact that so far as fa known not a single living specimen of passenger pigeon exist* anywhbre in the country to­ day with accounts of their abundance Jess than a century ago, obeervea a writer in the Detroit News. Thia pigeon, a bird 16 inches long with a ruddy breast, but gray back ■nd a pointed tail, fa said to have been so numerous in the early days of the United States that at times the flocks covered the entire view for hours at a stretch. They were BO plentiful in 1860 that flights were visible constantly at all hours of the day during periods of migration, authorities say, and when roosting at night their weight broke down large branches and even small trees. An old nesting site of these birds near Shelbyville, Ry., covered an area several miles wide and 40 miles long, while there is * record of a pigeon nesting place 28 miles long and 8 or 4 miles wide in Michi­ gan in 1876. The fact that advantage was taken of th a gregarious habit* of these birds by hunter* seeking to kill them in large number* fa thought to have Milady’s Sense of Smell I* Keener Than Hubby’s Something burning fa something that is smelled. While something burning may be smelled at any hour of the day the time usually preferr­ ed is between 12.30 o’clock and mid­ night though the hour may be earl­ ier or later according to when you go to bed. In the smelling of turning things the olfactory organs of the female are keener than those of the q^de. says the Baltimore Evening Sun. That fa probably due to the fact that while the female, after giving the' warning, remains comfortably in bed, it fa the duty of the male to get up and investigate. It is true that males of an inde­ pendent and courageous disposition may, in response to the warning, re­ ply ’pish” or “tush”, that they smell nothing. But they must expect to be countered by the argument that their sennas have been deadened by smoking an awful pipe. Once the male is apprised of some­ thing burning, should he elect to re­ main in bed he docs so upon the un­ derstanding that, thanks to hie in­ difference, there fa a grave possi­ bility that within the next half hour or so flames will have shot up from the cellar and embraced the Bring room and dining room and leaped from thence to th* iwcond floor where all members of the family will be burned to a erfap. Under the circumstances, *11 but the most hardy will drag themaahres up, feel around for dr oral ng gown, and bedroom slipper* and make a tour of the house to report that there was nothing wrong at all while the female turn* ovw and goes back to deep with a feeling of rectitude over ■ duty well performed. State MedicineInstituted ForOntario Relief FamiliesNow Plan Will Commence on March 10—Compulsory on All Municipal­ities—Province and Municipality Each Pay Monthly Sum of 25 Coat* For Everyone on Relief.A venture toward "State medi­cine” was decreed in Ontario last week. It will go into effect on March 10.Regulations initiating health in­surance-paid for by tho Province and municipalities caring for the destitute and their families, and compulsory in all organized munici­ palities—have been passed by the Queen's Park Government. No ad­ vance In medical relief costa is an­ ticipated.The plan fa an agreement between the Ontario Medical Association and the Provincial authority, and was sponsored and announced by Hon. Dovid GrolL It provides a State medicine structure for the care of relief recipients and certain war pensioners. Detail* of Scheme The Government's outline of its new program includes tho following principles; 1. Medical services of the highest quality will be available whenever necessary to every indigent—man, woman and child—in all organized muncipalities of Ontario. 2. The same services will be pro­ vided for the war veteran with B small pension, and for his family, if they are receiving relief from tho Federal Government.3. The plan is compulsory upon organized municipalities, in contrast with- the present medical relief sy­ stem, which is purely permissive, and in practice has been confined to the larger centres. 4. For the service, the Prov­ ince and the municipality will joint­ ly pay monthly the sum of 25 cento for every indivdual on relief. This amount is fixed by agreement be­ tween the Government and the On­ tario Medical Association, and will be calculated on the maximum num­ ber on relief in the municipality dur­ ing the month. The division as be­ tween Province and municipality will be in the same ratio as tho divis­ ion of direct-relief costs—in most instances two-thirds from the Prov­ ince one-third from the municipality. May De>i*n*to Doctor 6. The patient will have the right to designate his own doctor, nor will he be confined in hfa choice to the physicians in his own muni­ cipality; and he is at liberty, on no­ tice to the Relief Officer to change doctors if he is not satisfied with the service he is receiving. 6. All qualified medical prac­ titioners, whether or not they are members of the Ontario Medical As­ sociation. can participate.7. Every member of the relief recipient’s family mart receive, un­ der the agreement, service oqual to that provided by the doctor to his private patients. 8. All necessary medicines must be proscribed by the doctor and dis­ pensed by a qualified druggist, and. the cost is included in the fixed payment of 25 cents made by Pro­ vince and municipality. An excep­ tion is made in the case of outlying districts, without pharmncol facili­ ties. where the doctor may dispense his own medicines, without increase in cost.Administration Without Co«t 9, Administration, without cost, will be in the hands of local commit­ tees of the Ontario Medical Associa­ tion and pharmacists, on a county or city basis. The committee will distribute funds made available by the Province and miMHcipality. 10. The doctor will prescribe for all the-patient’s needs. 11. The cost to the Province will be no greater, but the service to the indigent until now confined to the larger centres, will extend to all part* of tho Province.12. Unorganized municipalities in Northern Ontario do not come with­ in the scope of the new plan, because of their aparse population and prob­ lems of travelling. An effort wilt be made to meet their special needs through another system. What Became of the German Fleet Under the terms of the Armistice the entire German fleet surrendered to tho British navy at Scapa Flow in November, 1918, and was there in­ terned. On June 21, 1919, the German crews scuttled all the ships of the fleet with the exception of the cruiser “Baden”. Three light crui­ sers and some smaller vessels were beached before they sank. That these ships were scuttled was not due to tho laxity of the British navy, since the allies would not permit the ships to be turned over completely, but (merely interned. The German sail­ ors sank the shipa to keep them from being incorporated in the allied navies. A number of the ships were raised in 1928 and sold M scrap iron. A Tip For Businessmen Here's a tip for bueinevs men who aro forced sometime* to accept rub­ ber cheques from certain custom era, although much against their will. A certain Kirkland Lake store had been haring a flood of N-S.F. cheque*. Some of them were from very good customers of the store, and the management did not like to refuse cheques In payment for goods. So Into the window of the store was propped a large piece of cardboard and in full view from the street were pasted all the N.8.F. cheques the management had re­ ceived. A sign underneath inform­ ed the curiape crowd that “the souv- • nice might be bought for the face value of the cheque."

Still other winds owe their names to certain of their attributes or char­ acteristics.

Name* of Winds Refer To Direction* They Come From The names of winds often refer to the directions from which they blow, hardly ever to those toward which they blow. A wind from the north is a north wind (sometimes a norther), one from the south is a south wind and so on. The sirocco of the Mediterranean, which reaches Italy from the southeast, probably owes ts name to an Arabic word moaning east though the authorities are not agreed on the subject. The levanter of the Straits of Gibraltar and the leste of the Madeira and Canary islands are both, as their names imply, easterly breezes.

RUMAC RHEUMATIC CAPSULES THURTELL’S DRUG STORE REPEAT PERFORMANCEOF BIBLICAL DRAMA The Biblical drama, “A Dream of Queen Esther" was presented for a repeat performance at St James' Anglican church parish hall last Wednesday evening under the aus­ pices of the Evening Guild of the church. In spite of the fact that this play had been given last Octob­ er, and at that time had a full house, and in spite of the fact that there have been countless entertainments given in town during the past six weeks, there was an exceptionally good attendance at this time. The play was again in charge of and directed by Mrs, George Beck, Jr., and hdf splendid ability in this line was. attested to Wednesday evening ty the finished perform­ ance off those in the cast. Each part was splendidly done and the presentation generally accepted with much pleasure and enjoyment. Rev. C. K. Masters welcomed the gathering on behalf of the Guild section and during the evening Mra. Beck and Miss Monica Harris were presented with bouquets of flowers from the Guild members and the cast. The work of Mias Harris at the piano for the musical portions of the play (of which there were a largo number) and for the offer­ ings between the acts was thorough­ ly appreciated by all. She was ably assisted by the Misses Gert­ rude Spibtal, 31ary Foster and Jost­ le Clayton, violins Several changes in the cast were found in thia presentation, and the cast of characters is therefore re­ peated, as follows: Mordecai, Clark Pellow; Hagar, Arthur Nunn; Esther, Mabel Owen; Meesha Zaheel, Mra.

At the elose of the play, the mem- ben of the east and those assisting were entertained by memhen of the Guild. H. B. Stevens Addressed Big Eight SocietyThe regular meeting of the Big Eight Society held in the I. O. 0. F. Hall on Wednesday evening last was quite well attended. President S. A. Gibaon was in charge and after the disposal of several matters of rou­tine business, an address was deliv­ered by Hal. B. Stevens, B-A, of the teaching staff of the Ingersol Col­legiate. The speaker who took for his inboct, j“How Do You Get That Way!" was introduced by J. A. Tur­ ner, principal of the Ingersoll Ward School. Mr. Steven’s talk was most interesting, dealing as it did with the structure of the human body and the characteristics traceable in a family from one generation to an­ other. At the conclusion of the address, the thanks of the gathering was tendered to the speaker by J. Ferris David, vice-president of the organization. Mayor J. 3f. Wilson was in atten­ dance at the meeting and also spoke briefly, dealing with “matters of im­ portance facing the Municipality, particularly in regards to the finan­ cing of the town and the methods of tax collection for the present year. It was announced by President Gibson that Mr. Arthur R. Ford has been secured as speaker for the meeting of the society on March 20. Tillsonburg Want Ingersoll In the O. B. A. A. Group The officials of the Tillapnburg Baseball Club are busy preparing for the opening of the Intercounty League but they will make no an­ nouncements as to now players until after March 15th, but It is officially known that a new coach and man­ ager, one of them very well known in Western Ontario baseball circles will guide the destiny of the Pan- drieds this year.It is very/unlikely that the Bay­ ham combincs^Vwill have an entry this year but there is a strong ten­ dency to have Ingersoll included in the group along with Aylmer, Till­sonburg and London, making a very compact league. Tillsonburg was the only team in the Intercounty in 1934 to close their books with a cash balance on the right side of the ledgers. Book of Ancient Dating Property of J. H. Pickard John H. Pickard brought a. rather interesting relic into thc’Tribune office this week. It was a book printed in England in 1756 and was in * rather well preserved condition. It was the first volume of the second edition of a book dealing with Law the title of which was, “The Justice of the Peace and Parish Officer," and was written by Richard Burns, Clerk of one of His Maejsty's Jus­tices of the Peace and for the County of Westmoreland. It con­tained the statutes and adjudged cases continued to tho time the book was published. It was printed in the Savoy, by Henry Lintot, Law-Printer to the King’s Most Excellent Majesty, for A.

In addition to this old book, Mr. Pickard had the copy of an Auction Sale Bill printed In England for a sale on Thursday, the 22nd of Octo­ ber, 1818, at Charlton, Horclhomc, Somerset, England.

TEBBSBurlington Miaiiter Gave Very En­tertaining Talk Al Weakly Lunch, eon of Ingenoll Club,Rev. George W. Tebba of Burling­ton, delivered to the membera of the Ingersoll Kiwanis Club at their luncheeon on Friday noon, a very fine address. In the first place, his col­ lection of stories, told with artistry and fine technique, had everyone in the room hanging upon his every word. Many expresskins of regret were heard at the close of the meet­ ing that Rev. Mr Tebbs should have been limited by the time of a mid­ day meeting rather than given the full scope of a night meeting. No doubt was left as to the welcome which he will have upon any future address here. In the second place, Mr. Tebb's address was informative and instructive. The chair was occupied by Kiwan- tan W. R. Marshall,' who introduced the speaker. Rev. Mr. Tebba stated that he tried as a rult to get over to Eng­ lund every thrih or four years for a trip where he Bielighted to visit the unusual places^ and more especially to study and take interest in the old cathedrals. It was thus that he had chosen as a title for his subject, “A Romance in Stone Chips," Out of this title, the speaker built up a splendidly-informative talk on some of the hoary buildings of England, telling of the fine carvings which were there from hands’ of the workers of hundreds of years ago. Mr. Tebbs told of having some six years ago made a monogram of his name, and of later thinking to him­ self that he must have made it be­ fore. Ho could not remember ever having done so. He recalled also that in turning any comer in the age-old villages and cities of Eng­ land, it had often seemed to him that ho knew what was to be seen around that corner before he turned it He had often pondered these things— strange little intricacies of the mind that came up in life especially where age and history were concerned. From-this point on the speaker re­ ferred to $he marks or insignia of the stone carvers and workers of the ages past in the old world. He told of looking about the insignia of one edifice built between the ninth and tenth centuries in which he found the exact same monogram cut into stone as ho only worked out himself some six years ago. It was explained that al! the early stone cutters, masons or stone car­ vers in the early days had their own private marks which they left in their work. These might he termed trade marks, Insignia or monograms. They were well known in those ages. With him, Rev. Tebbs had a booklet ar an­ nual report from a society in Eng­land haring to do with the matters of historic cathedrals, monasteries and like structures. One enthusiast, had, at great pains, caused to be re­ produced in the annual report of the society upon one occasion, all the trade marka or cuttings of the earl­ iest workers. There among them was the name of Tebbs worked out in a combination of the letters for­ ming the name. Many of the trade marks or cuttings hod deep signifi­ cance, ax was the case of one formed by a combination of a hammer and nails, significant of the crucifixion. The collection of cutting* had a very large list of the mo*t famed workers of early history. Prized by the speaker ns one of his most priceless possessions was a piece of early Roman tile, taken from an monastery of St. Augustine. This dated back to 500 A.D. The speaker said Ms hearers might well realize that the feet of St, Augustine had trod thia tile countless time* aS1 it was taken from the floor imme­ diately in front of the altar. With reference to the early carv- inga, done in the massive stone col­ umns, cornices or other portions of the grayed. old buildings. /-Mr. Tebbs said superb worknianshfp had been done, and .was most thorough in every detail. In one of tho early periods, chisels had not yet come into usage, and It was understood that the carving was done with snail axes. The speaker said that where a leaf or a figure stood out in relief from the column or main portion of the atone, the carving was carried out at the rear aide of such projec­ tion with~ttte same care as in front. In order to see this, it was necessary to use small mirror a such are used by dentists. Speaking of symbols, trade marka or iniignia, Mr. Tebba said that the well-known three golden balls sym­ bolic of pawn shops, came down through the agea and had their or­ igination with a small school ©f Ital­ ian craftsmen. The significance of theae was that gold was used as the pareat of material thing*.

Limited / “Necessity it the Mother of Invention” It has often been said that “nec­ essity is the mother of invention." The following doepatch from Lacor- daire, Sask., fairly proves the state­ ment: "Telephone, radio, electric light and transportation facilities have been built by farmers of this southern border district out of barb­ ed wire and 10-year-old motor cars. Their fifty miles of telephone circuit is routed over barbed wire-fences, which fills the bill for every-day gos­ sip and in emergency, then can get connections with Government lines for calls to just about any place in the civilized world. They took old radio headphones, wet batteries from old curs and put barbed wire fences into use as a telephone line. At first ten farmers were on the circuit. Now there are 30 along 50 miles of line. A generator from an auto­ mobile was attached to a windmill contraption with a propeller. Wind docs the other work. They have have wind in this country and bat­ teries are always charged. Some farmers have wired houses and barns and done away with old kerosene lamps and say their individual outlay was only about $10. And some families without radio, get radio programs over the barbed wire phone lines with loud speakers in their home*.” and the three ball* themselves were expressive of the Trinity of God. It was thus shown that the well-known three balls, used now by ’those of the Jewish race, was in reality a Christian symbol. Quoting from tho play, “The Stranger in the House”, and going on to give expression to some of tho beauties of these old buildings, as well as to give an expression as to their great place in man’s life from the time of their early construction down, the speaker told of the man­ ner in which thinking people should give attention -within them to hear the wise philosophies of forgotten ages murmuring still in their vaulted upper parts—the artistry and the wisdom of the ages still reverberat­ ing within from the hands and in­ struments of the workers who pro­ duced them and of those who had used them since. Mr, Tebbs told of the cathedrals at Peterborough and other parta of old England in which he had found so much of Interest in the stories told by the stones laid so Jong ago with such art and workmanship that they had since become famed throughout the world. Kiwanian Dr. H. B. McKay ex­ pressed the thanks of the club to tho speaker. ) REV. IRA. W. PuKL FORMER RESIDETIT PASSES Announcement of the death at Summerlea, Quebec, on Wednesday, February 20th, of Rev, Ira W. Pierce, was received locally with a feeling of sincere regret. The deceased was quite well known here, his father the late George Pierce, was for many years caretaker of the old Ingersoll Public Schoo], where Rev. Mr. Pierce attended when a boy.

The pallbearers were Robert, Sherman, Charles, Georgo and Roy Mitchell and William McBeth. News and InformationFor The Busy Farmer(Furnished by the Ontario Department of Arriculture)The Poultry Breeding PonAt this time of the ye*r some thought should be given to the sel­ection of the breeding pens. Trap nest records are the best means of selecting birds for this purpoee, however, where these are not avail­ able, it is considered wise to select 'females of good substance, body cap­ acity, clean cue well defined heads, with good clean flat boned shanks, and a good healthy appearance of vigour and activity. Choose only hens that lay eggs averaging twenty- four ounces, to the dozen. The male birds should if possible be selected from among birds of known par­ entage. Bean Marketing Board An order-in-council has been pass­ ed authorizing appointment of a board under the Marketing Act to regulate orderly marketing of dry beans in Western Ontario. Members of the board will be J. W. Ward, Highgate ; T. Hooper Nichol, Blenheim; Eugene King, Pain Court; David Carroll, Iona; and B. W. Fancher, Florence. The board, which is provisional, will hold office until Aug. 31. The affected counties are Kent, Elgin, Huron, Middlesex, Lambton, Norfolk and Essex. Dealers will be licensed and growers will be reg­ istered. Sale- of beans on consign­ ment will be continued. The plan also contemplates orderly marketing of all beans through a marketing agency designated by the local boards and adoption of promotional efforts to increase consumption of dry beans in domestic and foreign markets. Ontario Plowmen Met The Ontario Plowmen's Associa­ tion in annual meeting on February 5 received an invitation to hold the next International Match in Haldi- mand County, and the Directors de­ cided to accept.

Hay Market Report In Eastern and Northern Ontario Lie hay market remains quiet with easier prices.The central countiesreport little hay moving, although -tocks held by farmers an- low. Mort of the farmers are feeding ether roughages and saving the little hay they have for later in tho season Some shipments are being made from the Ottawa Valley to mining and lumber camps in Northern Ontario and to the Maritimes with prices ranging from $10 to $12 a ton. In Southwestern Ontario tho de­ mand for hay is slow as consumers seem to have sufficient suppy to carry them for another month. A good supply of roots and ensilage is helping to carry the stock Through in good condition. Feed and other roughage is being conserved against having to buy hay. In some dis­ tricts there is quite a demand for sawdust, shavings, etc., for bedding livestock. In Essex County many farmers are feeding com fodder to horses instead of hay. However, later in the season a real demand for hay is likely to develop. Prices being paid growers per ton at prin­ cipal market centres, less freight costs, are: For timothy No. 1, (10 to $18J50; No. 2, $14 to 516; No. 3, $12 to $14. Wheat straw, $7 to $8; oat straw, $5.50 to $7,50. MARSHALL STUDIO COUCH $42.50This couch opens out to two comfortable single bed*.

Lemon was held from tho residence of her daughter, Mrs. Stanley Gar­ ton, Canterbury street, on Monday afternoon with service conducted at one o’clock to the Orwell Church, where service was held at three o’clock.

Huntington of An important change was made at the Ontario Association of Fairs and Exhibitions Convention. Acting on Notice of Motion given at last year’s Convention, the name was changed to the Ontario Association of Agri­ cultural Societies. Tho former name had been used since 1905, previous to which tho Canadian Association of Fairs and Exhibitions had functioned.The historic forerunner had been the Agricultural and Arts Association which gave leadership in a Provin­ cial way for about half a century. It was organized In 1846 and ceased to function in 1895. The purpose of changing the name of this Convention was to bring the name of tho Provincial Body more in line with work being encouraged (or the local Agricultural Societies. The objects as outlined.in the Agricultur­ al Societies Act provides for sever­ al lines of work, one of which is the holding of annual fairs. For thirty years the Provincial Body has been concerned chiefly with the conduct of fairs and other agricultural subjects received little attention on the programme of annu­ al Conventions. The change of name forecasts a modification of pro­ gramme. Cheeta Patrons Meet The annual meeting of the Ontario Cheese Patrons’ Association was held in Kingston on January 28th and 29th. It was the largest and moat representative of any gathering of cheees patrons in the province, with seventeen cheese-producing counties represented by delegates. The secretary-treasurer, Mr, S. L. Joss, who had personally investigated tho United Kingdom market last summer, recommended to the pat­ rons that they appoint their own Commercial Representative for Great Britain. The duties of this Repre­ sentative would be to solicit the co­ operation of the trade in Great Brit­ ain in an endeavour to find a more direct outlet for Ontario cheese, than exists at tho present time. ■ It was not the intention qf tho Association to interfere in any way with the ex­ isting distributing channels in Great Britain. Export shipments by the Associa­ tion will be drawn weekly from the principal cheese producing districts throughout the Province. Payment for cheese shipments will be made the factories at the time- of ship­ ment. The full board price will be paid. This is made possible by Government credits which will be used to make up the difference be­ tween what is advanced on the cheese and the cheese board price. All profits realized on sales will bo distributed among the factories in proportion to their production. It is estimated that around 10 per cent, of our production will bn disposed of under this pl a for 1935. The patrons of every factory in the Province will have an opportun­ ity of hearing the plans of this As­ sociation discussed sometime within the next few weeks. Please watch for your meeting. The Government is making it pos­ sible through their financial assist­ ance for the cheese patrons to form an organization and develop plans for the benefit of the industry. It it Is up to every patrort to hear what these plan* are and then decide if they are worthy of their support.

The Eastern Canada Potato Mar­ keting Board has issued a list of or­ ders governing marketing of pota­ toes in Ontario, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nov* Sco­ tia in accordance with provisions of the natural Products Marketing Act passed at the last session of Parlia­ ment. They became effective on February 1. The rules provide, among other thing*, that every dealer marketing potatoes shall obtain immediately, a license from the local office of the board in his district, for which he will be required to pay a fee of 11. They provide no dealer may market potatoes in the four provin­ ces covered by the orders except through agencies established by the board and point out that under pro­ vision of the Natural Producta Mar­ keting Act, persons breaking the rule smay be subject to a fine of $25 to $500, imprisonment for not more than three months or both fine and imprisonment. The marketing agencies arc auth­ orized to collect tolls of ono-haif cent a bushel on potatoes marketed by dealers. The collections must bo made on or before the first or 15th day of each month and turned over to the local board in the district. Tho rules say no dealer shall mar­ ket potatoes produced in the four provinces except under contract of purchase and “at a firm price” and that no dealer shall market potatoes of the grade E. Canada No. 2 ex­ cept for export and then, only sub­ ject to a further ruling. This ruling provides that potatoes destined for tho Carribean market must grade at least 75 per cent. E Canada No. 1. The ruling does not apply to potatoes sold before February 1 and actually in transit until February 15. The orders contain a list of mar. keting agencies in the four provinces through which potatoes produced within their borders must be mar­ keted. They arc; Ontario, J. T. Cassin, Toronto; New Brunswick, C. C. Cunningham, Fredericton; Nova Scotia, Roy Grant, Halifax; Prince Edward Island, J. J. Trainor, Charlottetown, Feed Sunshine Cod liver oil, tho sunshine sub­ stitute, is one of the most important items in the properly balanced poul­ try ration. Where birds are closely confined during the winter months, as is the case in most parts of Can­ ada, they receive very little direct sunlight, and with the rations us­ ually fed they do not receive all the vitamins they require. Calcium and phosphorus are two minerals spe­ cially required for laying pullets and hens in the manufacture of eggs. Tho digestion and assimilation of materials, especially calcium, require one ot two things; an abundance of direct sunshine or an abundance of vitamin D. Cod liver oil is rich in vitamin D, and is one of the reliable sources of this type of food.

BANNER for ^SNAPSHOT CUIL Your Own "Candid Camera" Mr .Sprang who for a num- Stone and Mira Calvert, gave their A "candid camara" mapthot. raptala with Iha troublooi atanotphara of an unhappy momant. It talk th* whois >tory. COME magazines and newspapers ^make a great to-do about "candid camera” pictures, so called because they portray the great and near­great in unguarded momenta and Many "candid camera” shots have been made at banquets, receptions, conferences and other such affairs. They show notables being thor­oughly human, unaware of the pres- ence.of a camera. Naturally such pictures have a lot of appeal- For they show people as they really are—eating, talking, worrying. These candid snapshots are usu­ally made with very small cameras, equipped with exceptionally fast lenses and film. Such cameras do not need brilliant light, and they can be handled so casually that they do not become conspicuous. But you don’t need any such cam- era" snapshots. Of course, you will not be able to shoot under ordinary room lighting—unless your camera has an f J.5 Ians, or faster—but you will find ample opportunity in places where the light is better. For example, do yon have a pic­ture of Dad, or Unde, or Brother lighting hl« pipe? Nothing could be more characteristic — and yet it’s the sort of thing you’ll never find la an ordinary posed photograph. To get such a picture you have to be ready to take advantage of a fleeting opportunity. Some day, ■ when you have your camera out for some shots around the house, your pipe smoker is quite likely to come out on the porch to watch you. Ma­ neuver so that he is In fairly good light, focus your camera for the dis­tance between him and your lens, watch for the moment he puts match to tobacco and then quietly turn and inap him. Chances are he won't realize what you have done. And you will have a “candid cam­era” shot to enjoy, A whole section of your album may be very well devoted to such pictures. Certainly they are inter­esting; more than likely they’ll be amusing, too. It Is essential that you use th? fastest kind of film for these snap­shots, tor you usually have to work under some handicaps.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been saved to Ontario invest­ors during the past three months following tho appointment of J. M. Godfrey, K. C., Securities Commis­sioner for Ontario.In the neighborhood of 40 broker­age officers in the province, doing a lucrative business in worthless secur­ ities, or who were using unethical and dishonest methods of selling have closed their doors. Over 100 high pressure stock salesmen, most of them imported crooks, have left for parte unknown or have been prosecuted. Thousands of dollars have been recovered for investors and a general clean-up made of a large number of shady deals where the average investor did not have a remote chance of even recovering a part of his investment. Saper crooks with suites in the large hotel who employed numerous "front” men have ceased operations, and departed for New York or Chi­ cago. Two months ago 96 of these crooks and racketeers were register­ ed at a large hotel in Toronto. This number has been reduced to five who are holding on vainly hop­ ing against hope that they may be able to resume their activities. The passing and scrupulous en­ forcing of a few simple regulations have had a salutory effect that will have a material influence in really helping the mining industry in On­ tario to come into its own. Tho use of the telephone to priv­ate residences either locally or by long distance has been forbidden to all brokerage houses. Tipster let­ ters and sheets have positively been forbidden. License fees for brok­ erage houses have been set at $100 and salesmen’s registrations placed at $10. In addition the personnel of every firm has received a thorough combing and every principal or salesman with a shady reputation weeded out. A ban has also been placed on the sale of vendor stock (known among the fraternity as "the gravy.” In future vendor stock cannot be sold without the authority of the Securi- ities Commission.New York, Michigan and other states in the Union, h*ve given pre­ ferred attention to the mining stock racket over the past few years, and hove passed a great number of com­ plicated blue eky laws that have In some cases proven a detriment to the elusive and wily stock racketeer, but they are still operating in those ter­ ritories, probably not as openly as ever, but still making money. In two short months the strict enforce­ ment of one simple regulation has practically driven the fraternity out of Ontario. Very little money has been spent on prosecutions. Jails are not popular with the racketeer and if he is nipped in the bud he us­ ually departs hurriedly and ceases to be a menace to the community. Mr. Godfrey’s motto of “get the crook before he gets the money” is proving most effective in not only saving money to the investing pub­ lic, but also in diverting promotion funds to actual development of our ■mineral resources."Calj up or get in touch with your local Crown Attorney, if you feel you have been, or are about to be gypped” Mr. Godfrey said. “Give him the name of the salesman, the firm, or the stock and you will get protection.” Mr. Godfrey feels that we have in Ontario one of the greatest mining fields in the world, and that every dollar subscribed for new mining ventures should be used for actual development work. "The mining broker and promoter is, of course, entitled to his expenses and a fair idling fee,” said Mr. God­ frey, "but we will not permit him to grab everything and leave the public holding the bag." Another Column For “Obsolescence’ Most municipalities, most indus­ tries and most Individuals have this season filed their annual reports' for the year recently ended. In thaw reporta and even on iueomc.;t*x forms there is al way a column for depreciation—where loss by reason of natural wear and tear is recorded and Un allowance made for replace­ ment We are convinced that there should be still another column, and • larger one than for depreciation. It should be headed “obsolescence.” Loss by obsoleicence is fully eevent- ty-five per cent greater than by de­ preciation, and it alwaya has been, pt i, however, more noticeable by reason of the times. Despite the depression ao many new ways of doing things and so many naw in- ventiona have caused tremendous looses.

One of the good signs at the beginning of this year is this fact that there is a noticeable demand for new things and people are willing to spend their money for them.

W ildDuck Hides When Moulting The wild duck becomes so ashamed of himself during moulting that he goes into complete hiding; you will see him and his male* companions in the heart of reed-beds on the margin of lakes, and they do this for a very good reason. Flight at this time would be impossible for each bird moults practically the whole of its flight feathers at once. Nature, however, is kind, for if they still wore thoir brilliant metallic plum­ age, they would be conspicuous even in tho rccd-bed, so she clothes them in a subdued ‘‘eclipse'' dress which is more like the somber colors of the female. from chisellers and promoters that action will be taken,” To that we say, amen, Thank goodness the al­ mighty dollar docs not get the first consideration in Ontario yet, if wo do need the money. Alfalfa Seed Supply The alfalfa seed supply in Can­ ada is now regarded as no more than sufficient for seed requirements this coming spring, being somewhat smaller than was formerly expected, in Ontario, the chief alfalfa seed producing province in Canada, the 1934 seed crop was lighter than normal. Much of the seed was lacking in plumpness and weight ow­ ing to insufficient rainfall during-the filling season. This was true par­ ticularly of seed saved from the sec­ ond cutting. It is fortunate, however, that the supply of Canadian grown alfalfa seed for this spring is sufficient to sow a normal acreage. Alfalfa is becoming more and more popular as ii farm crop and has anved the hay situation on many farms where drought would have caused a serious hay shortage if other clovers and grasses had been the only hay crops^ Until quite recent years the only areas in Ontario where it was grown extensively were a few of the south­ western counties. It Is now com­ mon throughout the province and if only hardy seed Is used it may ba counted upon to thrive in almost any cultivable area in Canada where tho soil has sufficient limo content and where good drainage is also pro­ vided. Most of the alfalfa now grown in Canada is cither of tho Ontario Variegated or Grimm variety, the two outstanding hardy varieties which have made alfalfa production in Canada both extensive and profit­ able. Disfranchisement The laws which disfranchise per­ sons vary in the different states. In nearly all of them those who have been convicted of felony or who are of unsound mind are disfran­ chised. Some states also disfran­ chise those convicted of treason or bribery or betting on elections; and those who arerinmates of pris­ ons, asylums or almshouses; some disfranchise for dueling, embezzle­ ment of public funds, perjury and' petit larceny. In the District of Columbia where there is no pfipular suffrage, citizens previously entitled to vote wore all disfranchised by an act of congress in 1878 when the government was placed under direct control of congress. Exploitation Is a Curse To most Canadians, the taking of moving pictures, with all tho accom­ panying sound effects for commer­ cial purposes, at a murder trial is cheap and revolting. This has been done at the trial of Bruno Haupt­ mann for the kidnapping and murder of the Lindbergh baby. In this country it is a serious business to have to try a man for murder. What a contrast was the trial in London of David Meisner, who was convicted by a jury In but a few days of the kidnapping of John Labatt, of that city. Two barn-atorming American detectives camo over, con­ fident they could prove an alibi for the prisoner, but when they discov­ ered there was no financial gain for them and even the defense lawyers were honest, they “ratted” it back across the line. The dignity of a British Court ©f justice was too much for them. Canada has no place for the racketeer and hoodlum and theas fellows are beginning to realize it We do not like cheap publicity and exploitation and the Provincial Government will have tha support of all the people In prevent­ ing the exhibition of the world- faznoua Dionne quintupieto by Am­ erican promoters. It fa unfortunate that the parents of then* famous little girls were ever allowed to leave this country and go to Chicago.

If there is any power to protect these babies The Lottery Prize Law An Orangeville citizen’s success in a recent lottery brings up the question: What is the Government going to do about the prize amount­ ing to $30,000? The informer is now out of the picture.' Formerly the Criminal Code declared declared that every such prize was “liable to be forfeited to any person who sues for the same by action or informa­ tion in any court or information in any court of competent jurisdiction." At tho last session of Parliament in an Act sponsore byd Minister of Jus­ tice Guthrie, this section «f Code was amended to read: "Every sale, Ioan, gift, barter or exchange of any property, by any lottery, ticket, card or other mode of chance, depending upon or to be de­ termined by chance or lot is void, and al! property so sold, lent, given bartered or exchanged shall be for­ feited to His Majesty.” That fa plain enough: "Shall” ba forfeited to His Majesty. There fa no option about it. Tha Provinces are expected to enforce the Criminal Code, but failing id this, the Federal GoveniniEnt mutt step ini' While there fa in most quarters a strong feeling against the whole lottery busineaa some sporting in­ stinct in human nature opposes the idea of letting an Informer win. At­ torney-General Roebuck goes fur­ ther, as he is qiMtad *3 eaying: "There fa a very strong public feeling that this man should not be deprived of his .winning*. I do not feel myself called or, to take action." And he added: "He can bring bis money to Orangeville and have all the celebration he likea without fear of interference by this Department." But in »uch B situation the Fed­ eral Government fa obliged to oct. No doubt it abo fa aware that, while confiscation of thfe lottery prize fa an obligation, it might not be popular.

I*II kick them out. Claire and Sandy, if you like. I'll have some dinner sent in for you, and you can get all calmed down." But Ellen was crying, now.'Tve got to go," she sobbed, “/’t* got a date I"is—” it was Sandy speaking; be­fore her tears some of hit wrath had vanished, but he still desired informa­tion—“Is the date with the same boy that you ditched me for, last night?"The time for evasion—some of it, at least—had passed.“Yes,” sobbed Ellen.“Who," it was Dick now, "who is this insistent young man. child?"Claire was gazing up at the ceiling."He’s tall,” she said, "and God, how glum I And he has blue eyes and a "I'd advise you to shut up, old man,” said Dick, sternly. "I don't blame yon. in a way, but there's something here that neither you nor J understand. Only this—you said it I— laughing's all that Ellen can do, just now. If you haven't enough sense to see it, if Claire isn't woman enough to get it, I do. The kid’s at the end of hcr rope."Still formidable, still gaunt, he had left Sandy standing wordlessly be­side the sofa on which Claire sat. Hehad left Sandy, and had gone swiftly to Ellen’s side, and his long arms, reaching out, ,had drawn her little figure—in its beaded play suit— close to his chest.“Easy now. youngster," said Dick. “Lay off tliat stuff 1 Cry if you want to, if you must. But lay off that business of laughing. You'll be ill—"Ellen foundUhat she was clutching Dick’s arms, way up close to the shoulders. They were tense, like iron. They were bony they weren't cuddly, they were just something to hold on to—but, oh. how dreadfully she needed them I As her slim fingers bit into their tenseness, she began to regrin a certain amount of self-control. She could realize, as she fought to keep back her spasmodic giggles, tliav it was because the had been relieved to Know that it. was Sandy who had mine up the stairs—Sandy,’ and nut Tony. But at any moment it’ might be Tony! For hadn't Claire said that his car was waiting, at the curb? Ellen wrenching herself free from Di... s gra_sp. Was beginning to shake again, to*shake as if she were chilled, as if she were fevcrisll. "I’m all right n-now, old thing,” she tried to say breezily, although she found it almost impossible to articu­late. "I'll go n-uow and R-gct my things on. ... I really have a dale, you know." Sandy threw himself down on the sofa, beside Claire. "With the kiby you met, last night, I suppose?" he sneered. "With the boy who rode aro.ind the park with you—uh, 1 know all about it.” "Then,” Ellen's eyes were blazing, "then you can just be still about it! For even if you did buy my ticket to the Six Arts, you don’t own me. I’m sorry that I left you—at least, I traj sorry! But I’m nut, any more.1’ Dick had been very quiet for a few minutes, but although Ellen struggled to lx: free, bis Itamis weren’t relaxing their hold, not a particle."You're not leaving this studio, not in this condition," lie told her. "What's it all aboui, youngster.' any­way? Did you have anything to drink last night? Answer me that!" Ellen tried to master this hut mess of nerves. Jf she didn't. Dick- wouldn't let her go. She knew Dick."Of cou:-e, I didn’i have anything to drink.” she said, almost gently. "J never drink. Don't. vou trust me r""I used to. myself," said Sandy, “trust you. But not any more. Evett Gay wouldn't treat a guy—""Br still!" roared Dick. Like .most mtn, liis helplessness tiad the effect of angering him.Ellen, there in Dick’s arms, wanted tn scream at them. She wanted to call Claire ugly names, and she'd never wanted to call anyone an ugly name, before. Tills bantering, when her whole future was at stake! For if Tony came up searching for her—how could she explain things? These arms—Dick’s arms—that held her? How could she say anything in the face .of this scene?“Oh, Dick,” she begged, "let me go. I've got to get dressed. This date—it's very vital; you don’t un­derstand. I’ve got to keep it. Let me go, now—and I’ll call you on the phone, tomorrow, and explain. I’ll stop by in the morning and tell you all about it. You'd not try to keep me. if yog knew. When you know, you'll say it’s all right—"Dick was nuzzling his chin into the hair at the top of her' head, with a movement unexpectedly tender.“What I'm afraid, of, honey," he said, "is that you’ve gone and got sourwlf into some had sort of a scrape. For if Tony came up searching for her—how could she explain? swell sunbum, and the snappiest red Rolls-Royce in the city," But Dick was insisting, himself. "What's his name, Ellen?" he ques­ tioned. "I’d like to knew, myself.” Ellen had relaxed hopelessly against Dick, At the' moment nothing was any use, any more. Suddenly she was mure tired than she had ever been in all of her life—and older, too. "His name is Tony Brander." she said. "Anthony Brander, the sugar man, was his father.” Claire yawned. The yawn was far too elaborate to be plausible. “Nothing of the piker about you," she said, "is there?”Sandy whistled. "One of those I" he said. “Saw his picture snapped at the races, in Vogue last month. He's an orphan, they Claire laughed. "What a break I" she murmured.But Dick didn't say anything for a moment. In fact, his silence made the whole studio seem silent. So si­lent tint the clock, chiming five-forty- five, seemed only an echo to the knock upon the studio door.Claire was the one .who called a summons. It wasn’t her studio, but she was like that.And then Tony walked into the room. There was a narrow white line around his mouth as IK looked across Ellen's head, into the eyes of the man who was holding her. Ellen, with her face twisted back awk­ wardly so she could" watch across her shoulder,noticed that line and wondered about it, mutely. But it was Dick who spoke.“Tnis is my place,” he said. "I’m Alven. You—you haven't been here tefore, ever. Who arc you?” Tony's voice was so steady when he answered that it was almost absurd. ’’it may be your place," he said, "but it's my wife you're holding in your arms. ,Wy urifr! Funny, isn't it?"You could have cut through the atmosphere of Dick's studio with a knife, Lite air was so thick with con­flicting emotions. They were such mixed emolions that, though the hys­teria rose again in Ellen's mind, she couldn't even laugh. It wasn’t possible any more to do anything so simple as to laugh tAgain, by some miraculous change, she wasn't a part of the thing. She was standing on the side lines, she was reading from a printed page. These people—she didnt know them. Not Dick, with his face gone suddenly old and greenish in its pallor. Not Tony, her Tony, with pain looking cut of his eyes at her. Not Sandy, with his mouth hanging, ever so slightly, open. Only Claire retained ter noncha­ lance.,"Sol" said Claire. And then lan- guialy she rose from the sofa and strolled across the room toward Tony. And extended to him a pink-tipped white hand."Congratulations," she said. “I sup­ pose they’re In order.1,Tony wasn’t seeing Claire—he was ■taring at Ellen, though Ellen wasn’t in Dick’s arms any more."1 suppose,” said Tony, “that they are I"It wax then that Dick spoke. Dick, with a vague color coming back into his cheeks—Dick, with a great effort, justifying a girl's three-year faith laHe advanced toward Tony and ex­tended his hand."I can’t pretend that I'm not shocked by this news,” he told Tony. “Ellen is very dear to me. She' been rather like a little sister. I feel that I'd have liked knowing, slightly better, the man she married. But you look awfully regular, ■ Brander," his voice never wavered, "and I know, sudden as it seems, that Ellen must care for you very deeply. And I'm sure, very sure, that you'll be good to her.”Tony was flushing. He was very young at the moment. He took the proffered 'hand."You can't blame me," he said grimly, "for wondering. It seemed rather strange. Ellen asked me to wait for her at five, by the door, and she didn't come. And then—"Dick’s hand was on the boy’s shoul­der. It said as plainly as a voice could have said:“Steady, old chap. . . . Steady I”"I don't blame you one bit,” he said aloud. “I'd have felt just as you do, myself, if the situation had been re­versed.”Sandy's mouth had come shut. He, too, was standing,“My name’s Mackintosh,” he said. "I should be telling you where you get off instead of Welcoming you to our city. I took Ellen to the party last night, so I suppose I'm directly responsible—" Claire interrupted. She allowed herself to display direct and unvarn­ished curiosity, in a big way. "But you knew each other, didn't you. before last night ?” she questioned. "Alter all," she was mimicking, “I ought to be toli” Beseechingly Ellen’s eyes sought Tony’s eyes. Claire mustn't know the irregularity, the suddenness, of the whole thing. It would be a beautiful morsel of gossip for Claire, and her intimates. An agony of embarrass­ment lay in Ellen's gaze, and Tony, seeing, responded to that agony. Swift­ ly he fiad crossed the room, swiftly his two hands had enfolded Ellen's out- flung hands. "Oh.” he said quite airly. "Oh, we've known each other for centuries. When," Ellen was stunned to hear him quote the line, "when she was a tadpole and I was a fish—”Claire laughed. "When the workf.” she said, "was even wetter than it is nowl” Sandy was laughing, too.“Stuukins." he said, of wet world*.I think this calls for a party r Party! Ellen wanted to scream out at the thought of a party. "Oh—no party I" she murmured.But Dick, with his'white face oddly aloof, was the one who failed her. "Certainly a party I” he said.Claire was already at the phone. Her high chuckle was floating through the room."Elleu." she was saying, "yes, mar­ ried I Come around and make it legal. In the excitement Tony’s arm was around her shoulder. It wasn't a chill anti any more, but Ellen—wanting his embrace with keen desperation- wished that Dick weren't watching. “Tired, dear?" questioned Tony, And then, "You're cute as a button in that get-up 1" Ellen had forgotten the white buck­ skin, the beads. "Let me go, Tony," she said. “I must change into my own clothes.... Just behind this screen—" (She was acutely conscious of his unspoken, "Do you dress, and undress, behind that screen? Alone—with a man—in this studio?"). "No," she added, “I'm not tired, really.”Walking sedately she went behind the screen, and began to pul! the while buckskin frock over her head, and to untie the endless strings of gay beads. From the other side of the screen sounded a babel of voices. Voices tlist talked incessantly.Dick’s voice, saying dispassionately, "You are a nasty little cat, Claire. Why don't you try being decent for a And then Tony's voice—Tony’s raise. Saying. ,“If there's going to lie a party, seems as if it ought to be my party. Seems as if I ought to throw it. Seems as if some of my friends ought la be in on the big time—"Ellen, buttoning her straight little blue crepe dress, paused. Tony’s friends—why, she'd never even stopped to consider Tony’s friends ! She had­n't thought of Tony as being—she hadn't thought of him, exactly, in terms of having his own group of friends! Somehow she didn't want to meet those friends. They’d known Tony for so long—so much longer than she had known him, so infinitely? much longer. AH as once, she hated them. So this tfas jealousy! Tony had already taken Claire’s place at the phone. He was ringing up numbers, one after the otter. Say­ ing— “Yes. I’ve pews for you! Yes, I'm married. No — not Jane. No. it's someone you don't know. Oh, today! Come to my post bachelor dinner. So to one friend, so to another, so to another. Continued Next Week Special Fancy Quality SaedlaaiGRAPEFRUITMed.2 for 11c PUTNAM Rev. H. E.

Alcohol From WheatMay Drive Motor Cars Seeking new uses for Canada's now over-abundant supply of wheat, scientists are investigating the pos­ sibility of using 25,000,000 bushels of wheat every year to drive motor cars. After further study of the possi­ bility of using alcohol made from grain as a motor fuel, the National Research Laboratories have issued n revised report bringing the informa­ tion available up to date.If 1-10 of the annual consumption of motor fuel in Canada were re­placed by alcohol made from wheat, the report estimates some 25,000,000 bushels would be needed. A survey shown the use of mixed motor fuel is increasing in Europe and is being seriously considered in the United States. In a discussion of this pOBsibility, the report estimate* it would in­ crease the cost of motor fuel by ap­ proximately two or three cento • gallon, assuming the use of No, 5 wheat at 60 cento per bushel.

The somewhat cold and cheerless room was transformed into a bower of beauty with lovely decorations of mauve and yellow streamers, yellow wax candles in silvd: holders placed on each table. The aim of the decorators was to make the room take on the appear­ ance of a dining room on an ocean liner. Long tables prettily decor- ated in yellow and mauve with place cards on which was neatly written the name of each person. At- the front wall of the room was a huge Union Jack and on a table was the skeleton of the vessel upon which the passengers were travelling and on each place card was the same design in black on yellow. "Praise the Sea, but Keep on Land”, headed the menu-cards, which called for speck­led beauties, clam chowder, sea­weeds, rudder salad, hard tack, and aea foam. While these were not available, the ladies, Mesdames Mc­Gee, Clark and Armstrong excelled themselves in serving delicious viands. Fruit cocktails in orange cups, as a first course, meat pie, pickles, scalloped potatoes, orange and carrot salad on lettuce, devilled eggs, tea biscuit and butter, as a second course, lemon pie with a topp­ing of meringue or whipped cream, as a third course, this with piping hot coffee of very excellent flavor. This constituted a meal which might be fit for a king, and which was intend­ ed to stimulate the nerves and settle the stomach of every sea-faring traveller. This ship was described in the following words, as described by Southey, "She Comes Majestic With Her Swelling Sails..

No Time To Succeed One of the country's eminent fin­ anciers said in a recent article that men who have no time to read, have no time to succeed. He himself tries to read at least two hours a day, because he finds that his mind works better after the stimulus of other people’s ideas. Probably he is rather particular about his reading too, but he certainly takes time for it. He believes that it is partly due to this habit that he had achieved a success BO tar out of the ordinary. It pays to do whatever is neces­ sary to keep yourself fa the pink of condition. It takes time to keep the body in shape, but the minutes you spend in setting-up exercises, or the hours you- give to walking or skating, are well invested. It takes time to keep, the mind alert, but the time you give to improving reading advances your success. If you lack time to make your body and mind efficient, yon lack time to succeed.

Raise a good , garden; water from windmill if possible. 5. Plant only cash crops, which show little or no surplus. 6. Grow your own stock feed. 7. Butcher fat cows and steers; trade meat with neighbour*. 8. Raise your own living; keep your roof tight 9. Get down to earth and do the best you can today. IQ. Drive a horse until you can afford to buy gasoline. Housing Reform The London Observer in looking over the past year remarks that the moat important event of it in Eng­ land, in the social sphere, is "the consumption of Housing Reform”, and notes that that consumation came exactly half a century after the first move by Lord Salisbury for a Royal Commission to inquire into the housing of pie poor. Still more pertinent to the Canadian situation is the Observer's comment that the objective of housing reform has been steadily changed and widened until, from a mere campaign for the elim­ ination of the insanitary, it has be­ come a campaign for the utter abol­ ition of all overcrowdings—for en­ suring that "the whole people is to have a sufficiency of house-room.” We doubt whether Canada has pro­ gressed so far. We doubt whether Canadians realize as yet that, in the words of a British advocate of better housing, "it is the grimmest of iron­ ies to educate children in school and send them back to homes that can be only a chronic irritation.” There is one grave difference between Great Britain and Canada in this matter. The slums in Great Brit­ ain arc largely occupied by British people; the slums in Canada are chiefly occupied by non-Canadians (including a good many British people), about whom the native Canadians know little and care per­ haps leas. But the young people in thcae slums are going to be Canadians. We arc doing a great deal to Can- adianize them, by our schools, our libraries, our social organizations, our churches, our political parties. / HOT WATER Whenever You Need It There's no economy in heating water in a furnace coil, es­ pecially when you consider its uncertain, spasmodic service, the heat it consumes. Usually, you Jiave an abundance of hot water when there isn't a dish to wash, none or t?nly lukewarm when everyone wants to bathe. The ipost efficient way is to have an AUTOIuATK GAS WATER HEATER in your 4iome, which provides all the hot water at the time you want it, without wait­ing, wajU, trouble or labor. Buy an Auto­ matic Gas Water Heater and your faucets will never $ool you again. 30 DAYS’ PROOF TRIAL Terms a* low aa $1.00 Down *nd $1.00 Monthly ASK ANY EMPLOYEE FOR FURTHER DETAILS Dominion Natural Gas Co. 10 CHARLES STREET EAST INGERSOLL PHONE 193 EVENINGS PHONE 382A ennuis OUTHandy when ordering small lots during Spring Season ofMASON’S QUALITY FUELMaion'i Jeddo Anthracite in Eft.
