It almost seems impossible, unless the Old Country is getting so tired of the place she is willing to let them fight it out among themselves.” The gathering, held in St. James' Anglican Church parish hall, was at­ tended by more than 70. Fred Adams, chairman of the inter-club relations committee, presided. F. G. Rich, director in charge of speak­ er and publicity committee, intro­ duced Mr. Rogera, and Cliff.

Pear­ son, Howard Carr and Jack May­ berry, with Jack Morgan, at the piano, were heartily encored in pres­ enting several songs, and later a number in costume, “No, No, a Thou­ sand Time No!’’, was given by Bill Rogers, Jack Mayberry and Margaret Elliott Rotarian P. L. Canfield put. on some of his popular comedy and led the gathering in a couple of novelty songs. Heath Stone musically per­ sonified the gentleman .who saw “Pink Elephants.” Kiwanian Fred A. Adams conveyed a welcome to the visitors. “We all feel delighted to have you here," he said, “the first time this club has been graced with your presence, and I feel sure the club will approve what I say, that this is the kind of thing that is going to create a better feeling among nil of us. We are looking forward to our visit to Woodstock, and I am sure you can rely on a hundred per cent- attendance from Ingersoll.” Mr. Rogers sketched in very im­ pressive terms some of the physical characteristics of India—its immense seacoast, the Himalayan range, great deserts and areas of fertile land, in climates ranging from bliz­ zards to tropical heat. He describ­ ed the strategic significance of the Khyber Pass, and its long history of raids from the north by tribes seek­ ing the fertile lands south of the Himalayas. There, when the mon­ soon breaks, the rainfall would ‘float the largest ship ever ’built.” The speaker touched briefly u^on the ad­ vent of the Aryan race in India and how these people spread to other lands. Their classification as Brahmins, Rajputs, and landholders was explained. In contrast to these high caste people, the aborigines, or once-born, were regarded as the workers, the scum, the untouchables, though among themselves they had many degrees of low caste. Kiwanian Hal. B. Stevens ex­ pressed the thanks of the gathering to the speaker and those who had otherwise contributed the pro- Kiwanian Herb. Handley added a special tribute to the ladies of St. James* Guild, who had provid­ ed an exceptionally enjoyable din­ ner. ’Rotarian pert Wilson spoke for the Woodstock visitors in thank­ ing the Ingersoll club for ita hos­ pitality add for the fraternal sprit exemplified.

The slides which accompanied the lecture were very fine and showed to good advan­ tage the city f f churches. Some of the slides showing the older city proved of great interest, the speaker explaining that they could not of course show the extremely fine and exquisite carving and painting as the real work did. Professor Anderson spent the win­ ter of 1933-34 in Rome as chaplain of Holy Trinity Church and dealt very capably with his subject. One of the final scenes shown was of a carving of the Good Shepherd which the speaker said, should remind his hearers that they arc under the care of this Good Shepherd.

Last year this was de­ creased to $6.50. High school teachers have been employed for the work. Accompanying the examination schedule was the information that candidates who obtained 66 M per cent, of al! papers tried during the year in middle and upper school work would not be required to try the supervised tests. Examination fees have also been abolished. The first test will be tried on Thursday, June 13, On thia day Greek will be given for middle and. upper .school candidates. In for­ mer years Greek has,always been the last paper given. The matricu­ lation tests continue until June 28. Entrance examinations commence on June 26 and continue for two days while the lower school examinations commence June 21.The same instructions that have been issued by the department of education for years were again is­ sued last week.

The story of the wild horses of Cape Sable Island goes back to the year 1598, when Marquis de la Roche set sail from France with settler and effects for Acadia. Fear­ ing Indians, he landed the settlers and effects on Cape Sable Island, but, forced by adverse gales, he re­ turned to France and many of the settlers perished before a ship could be sent from France to rescue them. Included with the settlers' effects were some horses and these became the progenitors of a wild baud, which in the beginning of the nineteenth century, numbered ■ somewhere around 300. A Prince Edward Is­ land vessel, skippered by Benjamin Chadwell, ,was driven on the island by a violent gale, a^d^e and his crew made a of the horses off whkh they subsisted until rescued. Tile island has had an unsavory repu­ tation for shipwrecks and in this re­ spect has been known ns “The Graveyard of the Atlantic." The skipper found the hulls of forty vessels wrecked on this lonely wind­ swept island. It has been said the island was the home of wreckers who lured ships to their destruction with false lights. One of the most tragic of the sea disasters which hap­ pened on Sable Island was the loss of the “Princess Amelia,” in 1802, with all her crew and passengers, soldiers, officers and their wives, two hundred in all. The island can be reached by way of Barrington Pas­ sage on the line of the Canadian National Railways, being approxim­ ately eight miles from the station. Since these early days, Sable Island has lost its unsavoury reputation, modern aids to navigation having been installed on the island. A BARBER WHO HAD RHEUMATISMTells How He Carried OnA barber who had been “• martyr to rheumatism" writes;—“I have been a martyr to rheum­atism for some Un years. For five years I was so affected that it was with the greatest difficulty I was able to carry on my business. I may say I am a barber by trade. After having tried numerous remedies, 1 was finally advised to try Kruschen. I am pleased to say that after having used Kruschen for some twelve months. I a tn now freer from aches and pains than 1 have been for some ten years. IK fact, I consider I am rid of rheumativn, thanks to Krus- chen Salts.”—W.1LTwo of the ingj^iients of Krua- chen Salts are the mw^effectual sol­vents of uric acid itnowWa medical science. They swiftly dull the sharp edges of the painful crystals, then convert them into a„ harmless solu­tion. Other ingredients of these Salts have a stimulating effect upon the kidneys, and assist them to expel the dissolved uratic needles through the natural channel. Vocabulary for Pictures Of Nature Badly Needed One who writes of nature, needs be eloquent. Readers want no com­ monplace descriptions. They are familiar with too many masterpiec­ es, declares a columnist in the St, Louis Globe-Democrat, to be satis­ fied with the inadequate. Thoreau and John Burroughs at home and Ruskpi and Maeterlinck abroad have given us examples of inspiration, not to mention the many poets whose gift it is to excel. One may skim through uninspired attempts at grandeur and see at least where the blue pencil should have been applied to stale adjectives. He can even see it in his own work—afterward. How the “opalines” and “amethy- stincs,” and “cobalts” needs to be sawed out. Exaltation of mind does not always bear fruit, in exalta­ tion of diction. Feeling, truly en­ ough, is necessary, but something else is demanded, a study of words with their shades of meaning; of cadence—and the unexpected expres­ sion of thought chosen from a fresh vocabulary. These make the gems of English that live. Hearing a Pin Drop Many years ago in London it was customary to hold ship auctions at Lloyd’s Coffee House on Tower Hill, and a pin was thrust into a lighted candle, about one inch from the top. The last bid made before the pin fell out of the melting tal­ low was accepted. When this crit­ ical stage in the “candle auctions” —as they were then called—was reached, a deathlike calm came over the assembly to enable those present “to hear the pin drop,” Eskimo Dogs One of Best Known Breeds of Workers There perhaps is no group of dogs with as wide a set standard and as many different names as those sturdy hardy Arctic .workers, the Eskimo dogs. They may be referred to as Greenland Eskimos, Alaskan Eski­ mos, huskies and malamutos, and each one differs from the others in many respects. Even the spitz, chow and Samoyed are frequently called Eskimo or sled dogs, haying earned the right to the latter name'-through their trilling- ness to become draft animala fin the native countries, bbwrvee-a- ’writer in the Detroit News. In setting the standard for this breed, the Eskimo Club of America states: “The Eekimo dog is one of the beat /known breeds of work dogs in the'fworld and should not be confiused with the smaller breeds that have borrowed his name. “The real Eskimo dogs, origin­ ating in Greenland, Labradonand the northern part of this continent, are nature’s product for a led dog work. Being a draft animal for centuries in the Arctic region#, he has devel­ oped a powerful body and heavy coat “Although laf ■ boned and of rugged build, Aany specimens are beautiful and u attractive as she U. S. Loses Place in Copper Once upon a time the United States dominated the world in cop­ per. In 1929 it produced half of the world's supply. The Americans set the pace and the price. But last years U. S. copper production was one-sixth of the world total. Amer­ ica was exceeded by Chile and by Africa, and indeed Canada was not far behind. The figures, in thous­ ands of metric tons, were; United States 215, Canada 168, Chile 220, Africa 230; world, total, 1228. American consumption, once more than half the world’s output has shrunken in recent years to scarce­ ly one-quarter whereas that of Ger­ many, Unit’ll Kingdom and Japan has b€gn soaring to new peaks, ac­ cording to figures comp led by The Metal Bulletin, London. Copper was once a king in the United States and upon its copper mines the country erected great wealth. The copper sun is now set­ ting, marking the gradual exhaustion of still another natural resource and causing one to wonder whether the United States is inherently as rich as it still fancies itself to be. American copper men carry to the curtailment parley the weapon of ownership of low cost mines in South America. With it they hope to gain producing and marketing ad­vantages for their own older and higher cost properties. Other cop­ per fields, though, carry similar wea­ pons, leading to the observation that the conference is as likely as not to break up in disagreement and to in­ itiate an era of intensive competition and of low prices, still further de­ creasing the world importance of the U. S. mines.—The Northern Miner. Educated and Learned To be educated is only to have been led out of the darkness of ignor­ ance into the light of understand­ing, To be learned means that one has reached among the world’s treasures and possessed one's self of many. To be educated is the result of a more or leas perfunctory act To be learned is a state of mind and spirit purposefully attained. What Is a Million? A way of realizing the meaning of a million is to think of what it means in time. 'Few people realize that there are leas than a million days in the whole Christian era; in,fact, if we count back a million days from 1933, we come to a date well before the founding •of Romq, while a mil­ lion hours would take ua back to the Battle of Trafalgar. The great was lasted about two million minutes and, taking the total casualties as ten mil­ lions, this gives an average of five casualties per minute through >ut the period of hostilities. Dairy Product* Milk production in Canada contin­ ued to show an upward trend during 1934 and this tendency is expected to persist during 1935. This is the fundamental datum set out in a re­view of the dairy situation of the Dominion recently issued under the auspices of tha federal Department of Agriculture. Cheese output is estimated at a lower figure for 1934 than for 1933, but production of both creamery butter and concen­ trated milk products exhibit gains. The output of creamery butter for the twelve months of 1934 is re­ ported. by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics at 231,448,000 pounds. The 1933 figure was 219,232,000 pounds, so that the increase for last year was 5.6 per cent. The largest production in 1934 took place in Ontario at 79,107,000 pounds with Quebec second at 68,775,000 pounds. Alberta produced 25,594,000 pounds, Saskatchewan 20,878,000 pounds Manitoba 20,674,000 pounds. The output of concentrated milk pro­ ducts for the year 1934 was 93,592,- 000 pounds as compared with 84,- 928,000 pounds in 1933, an increase of a little over ten per cent The leading' item in the 1934 production was evaporated milk at 56,778,000 pounds with skim milk powder sec­ond at 16,576,000 pounds and con­ densed milk third at 8,916,000 pounds. Creamery butter production in­ creased to such an extent in 1934, says the official review, that storage stocks are considerably higher than a year earlier. These high storage stocks will tend to keep butter prices at a lower and more uniform level during the early months of 1935 than in the past season, un­ less some of the surplus stocks are exported. If no export movement takes place a small carry-over is not unlikely with a consequent depress­ ing influence on prices, which may cause a diversion of milk into cheese manufacture. During the past sea son, prices of creamery butter at Montreal up to the end of October were higher than for the same period in 1933. This was the second con­ secutive year than an improvement was shown in butter prices. Prices at Montreal were also much above the export value for every month of 1934. Factory cheese production con­ tinues to decline and from calcula­ tions based on the volume of cheese graded, (which represents approxi­ mately 93 per cent of the total out­ put), it is estimated that the make was about 98 million pounds in 1934 as compared with 111,044,000 pounds in 1933. Cheese product­ ion in Ontario and Quebec represents approximately 96 per cent of the total output for Canada and it is expected that production- in these provinces will be considerably below that of 1933. In Quebec there is a tendency to shift from cheese to butter manufacture. The relatively high price for butter in comparison to cheese is the cause of this change taking place. Reports from the western provinces would indicate that production was maintained In 1934 but the volume is comparative­ly small. Exports of cheese for the twelve months of 1984 totalled 61,167,000 pounds as compared with 74,168,000 pounds in the year 1933. Total milk production in Canada for 1933 was slightly over 16,000 million' pounds, an increase of 0-7 per cent, over 1932. ' Figures for 1934 are not yet available but in­ dications are that the total product­ ion has been somewhat higher than in 1933. Tiroduction of milk has increased slightly during the past two years and this may be attributed to an increase in the number of dairy cows. Dairy cow population was 3,864,200 in June, 1934, an in­ crease of 4.6 per cent over the same period of 1933 and an increase of 6.8 per cent over the five-year aver­ age 1929-33. Monthly Meeting of Junior In*titute andJunior FarmersThe regular monthly meeting of the Junior Institute and Junior Far­mers was held on Tuesday evening, February 26th, in the Orange Hall, Ingersoll.The Junior Institute meeting was presided over by the president, Mua Frances Kerr. Mrs. Joel Leslie presided at the piano for the open­ ing exercises. The roll call was answered by naming a favorite mus­ ical Instrument Reports of the “At Home”, to be held on Tuesday, March 5th, in the Ingersoll Town Hall were given by Nellie Sandick, Marjorie Nichols and Anne Nance- kiveli, The addresa of the even­ ing was very ably given by Miss Nellie Hutchison on the subject, “Famous Musical Composers,” with musical selections by James Dea- mude and a solo by Miss Nellie Hut­ chison. Elva German gave a two minute talk on the motto, “Music Hath Charm.” Frances Kerr and Mrs. Joel Leslie were put in charge of a quilt to be made by the insti­ tute. Audrey Riddle read a very interesting chapter from the Insti­ tute Book.Leroy Wilson presided over the meeting of the Junior Farmers. The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted. The roll cal! was answered by naming a “Don’t on the Farm.” Through the cour­ tesy of the National Fertilizers lim­ ited of Ingersoll, moving pictures were shown by their represntative, Mr. Donald MacKenzie, who is in charge of the chemistry department of National Fertilizers. This proved interesting and helpful to one and all and was much enjoyed. The joint meeting was held at the conclusion of the Junior Farmer gathering. Wallace Free! took the chair for the program. A vocal solo was contributed by Miss Lorna Hall accompanied by Miss Jean Ban­ bury. This was much enjoyed. The journal was then read by Jean Banbury and Audrey Riddle gave a reading. Lunch was served after .which dancing was enjoyed until the early hours of the morning. Music was furnished by Tom Pettit’s orchestra.

It was probably first used by the Teutons as a pit for making that old culinary favorite, sauerkraut, Julius Caecar adopted the idea of storing feed fo^ his animals during the Roman cam­ paigns, and the word “silo” itself is derived from the Latin “sirus” or “silus,” meaning cellar. The first siloszclosely followed the Latin conception. They were mere holes in the ground lined with straw or stone and filled with cut fodder, principally^ peas, beans, lentils, clov­ er, or cabbage. The pioneer set­ tlers along the rough shorea of New England found the ground difficult to dig and aurmounted the obstacle by building their, pits above ground. So orignated the modem form of the silo. Shipped His Leg A man carrying a crutch under his arm walked into an express office at Memphis, Tenn., recently, and told the receiving clerk he wanted to ship his leg to Chicago.The clerk, somewhat dazed, asked; “Where, can we pick up the ship­ ment?” The customer reached down and pulled off his leg. Having recov­ ered from his surprise, the receiv­ing clerk secured a box and helped the shipper pack the detachable limb which was (promptly forwarded to the destination specified. Then the shipper waddled away on his crutch, remarking that he would have more luck hitch-hiking on a crutch than on two legs, even though one was of wood.—Express Messenger. It Often Happen* ‘ * V of Critics of the Minister The Way To The Cemetery Every town has a grumbler and chronic fault finder, and incident­ ally a general nuisance, but the fol­ lowing, taken from one of our ex­changes tells of a town that is being helped to the cemetery. “A town that never has anything to do in • public way, kt on the way to th-^ cemetery. A man who curses :h 1 town furnishes the coffin. The’ man who is so selfish as to have no time from his business to give to the town affairs is making a shroud. The man who will not advertise is driving the hearse. The man who is always pulling back from any public enterprise throws bouquets on the grave. The man who it id stingy as to be howling hard times, preaches the sermon, sings the dox­ ology and thus the town lies buried from al! sorrow and care. Numerous changes hove taken place of late or are pending in the stationing of clergy. Each trans­ fer leaves a new vacancy to be filled, and among the churches which use the “call” system there is much decorous activity on the part of com­ mittees entrusted with scouting du­ ties. The wealthy congregation has an advantage, for the day in which funds are to be pooled with central authority, for payment of a uniform stipend to ministers, is yet far distant. In justice to the cler­ gy, it must be said that as a general rule they are primarily influenced by the opportunities for service which the prospective field affords, and there are. many examples of more attractive stipend being disregarded. Doubtless there have been instances to the countrary, just as there are committees of selection which allow material motives to predominate. Hqwever, the latter are usually men of broad views and , discernment, loyal supporters of the church, and it is a well known fact that those who find fault with their ministers are often the very ones who do not carry the responsibility of congre­gational work. N. H. Dinnick in the Canadian Baptist summarizes humorously the viewpoint of such uncredentialed, critical If his hair Is grey, he is too old. If it isn’t, he hasn't enough ex­ perience. If he has a family, the church cannot support him. If he hasn't he is not capable of dealing with domestic problems. If his wife playa the organ, she U presuming. If she doesn’t, she isn’t interested in her husband's work. If he is enthusiastic, he is a fan­ atic. If he isn’t, he is dead and uninter­ esting. If he gets out and visits his flock, he is gadding the roads.If he doesn't his heart isn’t in his work and he is lazy. If he calls on the rich, he is after money. If he calls on the poor, he has fav­ orites. If he preaches on stewardship, he's after money. If he doesn't, he doesn't need any. If he dresses well, he’s playing the grand-stand. If he doesn’t, he's not fit for cler­ ical work. If he labors with the Young Peo­ ple’s Society, he’s neglecting the older ones, If he works with the older ones he’s neglecting the younger, and whatever he does, there is always someone in the congregation who could show him how to do it better.

The Company cooperated with govern­ ment officials in a campaign against a threatened cholera epidemic in 1892 and thus began its cooperative work with public health organizations. In further developing its activities in the field of health, the Metropolitan organ­ ized its Welfare Division in 1909 and, at about the same time, a nation-wide nursing service was established for Indus­ trial policyholders.

He's all for the can­cellation of debts and he doesn’t like Mr. Bennett, “King is not so bad,” he says. He also promises to save money when elected and states that this will be done by the simple expedi­ent of eliminating elections—after his own, of course. But although King Charlie is looking to Ottawa .with longing eyes it seems that his hold on the hobo throne isn't so strong. There hasn’t been a recognized hobo convention in Canada for five years and there is that fellow Leon Lazaravitch, who claims the throne. Charlie Pearce maintains Lazara­ vitch is a pretender and not a Can­ adian, and declares that he can lick Leon whether it'^ in a run for King of the hobo jungle or the premier­ ship of Canada. It doesn't make any difference to Charlie. “I’ve heard of that fellow Leon. He says he'll shoot me and they tell me he's six foot tall but I’m not worrying. I've got a lot of friends and they'll all vote for me.” Charlie’s been on the roads for 31 years and in 1934 he walked 7,009 miles and wore out 41 pair of shoes, he says. But whether Charlie gets the premiership or holds his’throne, he certainly has a great collection of medals and trinkets and what-have- you. It doesn't matter whether it’s a dog tag, an L. O. L. ribbon, a pro­ hibition button or a fraternity class pin—if it’s a metal trinket, Charlie wants it and he’ll find a space on his coat for it. As for testimonials, he has all all kinds. Here’s one: “The bearer of this book is under the impression that the premiership of Canada is his for the asking. In my opinion, he is an egotistical old lunatic. The delusion of grandeur which he firmly believe .will get him elected as the country's future sav­ iour, is ludicrous and amazing. OBITUARYAGNES A. CUTHBERTSONThe funeral of Agnei A.

Agricultural Situation A continuation of recovery in Canadian agriculture during 1435 is foreshadowed in a report on the ag­ ricultural situation and outlook, is­ sued jointly by the Federal Depart­ ments of Agriculture and Trade and Commerce. Wholesale prices, it is pointed out, have risen in Canada and abroad; prices of most farm products are higher than a year ago; business has become more active; employment has increased; and while the cost of living has risen some­ what, it has not been, in proportion to the rise in prices and thus there appears to be an increase in pur­ chasing power from which farm products should benefit. The domestic market, the review States, is of major importance for agricultural produce. it is calcula­ ted that in recent years the domestic market has absorbed approximately 85 per cent of the products of Can­ adian farms. The home market has come to be almost the sole out­ let for animal products With the ex­ ception of bacon, and there are only three farm products, wheat, apples and cheese, of which more than 50 per cent of production is exported. Industries using farm products as basic materials enjoyed varying de­ grees of activity in 1934. The out­ put of flour mills declined some­ what, influenced in part by greater imports and the contraction of ex­ port markets, but oatmeal product­ ion rose to a marked extent. Con­ sumption jot raw wool and yarn was much higher in th? first half of 1934 than in the corresponding period of I 1933 although comparisons based on the second half of the year werb unfavourable. Cattle slaughter­ ing ahowed a steady increase over 1938 and similar records for hogs were well maintained. Cold stor­ age holdings of farm products were upon a par with’1933 figures in the Latter part of the year, but had been considerably below them in the win­ ter and spring months. Imports of commodities competing in the same fields as Canadian farm products advanced in value by 16.5 per cent in the fiscal year 1938-84. Mach of this increase of roughly siderable increase in the volume of imports. Practically the whole dif­ ference in value was attributable to animal products, with hides and wool imports greater both in value and volume than in 1932-33. The value of imports of agricultural pro­ ducts continued to increase steadily during the second and third quarters of 1934. There is little reason to believe, however, (says the report), that imports are obtaining a larger share of the market for Canadian products. All told they represent probably not more than five per cent, of the Canadian consumption of such products, and the value increas­ es noted have likely been due, in large part, to a slight general expan­ sion in markets, coincidental with rising prices. The general level of wholesale prices of farm products in Canada averaged approximately 15 per cefit. higher in 1934 than in 1933. The rise in prices of farm products has been accompanied by a less rapid ad­ vance in values of things fanners buy. A specially constructed price index of farm purchases, including living requirements as well as oper­ ating equipment, has moved upward roughly five per cent above the 1933 (average. Foods mounted eight per cent, clothing one per cent, house­ hold supplies and equipment four per cent, and operating supplies and equipment five per cent. Since prices of manufactured goods have not advances as rapidly as those of farm products, farm incomes will purchase slightly larger supplies of. needed goods than could be obtained at the beginning of 1933.

Detailed Description of New Noto* Placed In Circulation Monday. Canada’s new paper currency wa* placed in circulation with the open­ ing of the newly-formed Bank of Canada on March 11. Seeking to avoid confusion and to frustrate any attempt at counterfeiting, the Bank issued a detailed description of the new small notes which bear por­ traits of seven members of the royal family and two of the nation's great prime minister. Persons obtaining the bills will find their size a novelty. They are six inches long and two and seven eighths wide, fractionally shorter but wider than the midget United States currency issued a few years ago. Notes of each denomination are in English and French but the color* and designs are the same for each language. The bills, ranging in denomina­ tion from fl to $1,000, show consid­ erably greater range of color than the old currency whkh .will be with­ drawn from circulation gradually over the next 10 years. The $1 bill iff green, the $2 blue, $5 orange, $10 purple, $20 deep rose, $50 brown with a shade of red, $100 chocolate brown, $500 sepia, $1,000 olive green. Each denomination shows several shades of the same color, A portrait of King George appears on the $1 note, while on the reverse is an allegorical female figure repre­ senting agriculture. The denom­ ination is set out on the right centre of the note's face with the title "Bank of Canada’1 on both sides. Green rays spread from the centre design, underlying the denomination. The $2 note bears a portrait of Queen Mary in evening dress with diamond tiara and necklace. On the reverse is a figure of Mercury. To the right is an aeroplane a locomo­ tive crossing an arched bridge, and an electric train emerging under the arch. A chipping scene balances the design. On the $6 the central feature is a lathe work counter design with maple leaves below, while a likeness of the Prince of Wales in colonel’s uniform is at the left On the re­ verse is a symbolic figure of power, seated on a dynamo and holding a sledge hammer. Under the left foot is a gear wheel. The figure is flanked by a waterfall and dam with with a power line leading away to distant mountains. _ Princess Alary in evening dress and necklace, is represented on the face of the $10 note. The centre design is surrounded by scrollwork. On the reverse' is a classic draped female figure emblematic of harvest In the right hand is a sickle, while the horn of plenty appears under­ neath. Taken from a recent photo­ graph, a picture of Princess Eliza­ beth is on the face of the $20 bill. On the back, in deep rose, is;i male figure, the toiler, exhibiting the pro­ duct of wheat fields to the spirit of Agriculture. To the left of the denomination on the $50 bill is the figure of the Duke of York. An allegorical fe­ male figure depicting modern inven­ tions, indicated by radio broadcast­ ing, appears on the reverse, brown in color. The Duke of Gloucester is represented on the $100 note. On the back is a male figure, child and ship, symbolical of transportation used by industry. The portrait of Sir John MacDon­ ald is on the $500 note which is backed by a female figure represent­ ing field and orchard products. Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s picture is on the $1,060 note. On the reverse are two figures, typifying security and safety. Signaturce of “G. F. Towers" governor and “J. A. C. Osborne" dep­ uty-governor, appear on each note together with the words “Ottawa, issue of 1935." A. G. PARTRIDGE ' A. G.

FORMER INGERSOLL BOY HAS BROAD VIEWS ON UQDOR CONTROLMemberSandwich, in Hl* Inwgura) Speech Week, Plainly Expraawd Hi* DU- <*thfetion With the Government’* Liquor Policy. /orRE SULTS use fh e U K K /U CLASSIFIED BKADS OXFORD COUNTY WEED INSPECTORS MEET A meeting of the weed inspectors from all the municipalities in this district was held last week at Wood- stock, at the office of G. R. Green, Agricultural Representative for Ox­ ford County, The speaker at the morning ses­ sion was Jdhn McLeod, a^dstant director of Ontario crop seeds -and weeds section of the department. The morning was taken up with ex- panation and discussion of the On­ tario Weed Control Act. The afternoon session took the form of general discussion of weed’ problems in which -each township official present outlined experiences in connection .with weed work. Fol­ lowing the period of discussion, Mr. McLeod gave a talk on various weeds covered by the aot, and control measures in general, in the course of which he pointed out that Oxford is in a favorable circumstance as far as prevention goes in that there are many seed cleaning; appliances 5n the county, which is an important factor in keeping the crops clean. General progress has tfedn noted also throughout the province. The chair was occupied by Wil­ liam F. Lampman, reeve of Ehrt Oxford and chairman of the agri­ cultural committetT of the county council. Quite a lot of prominency was given the remarks made .last week in the Ontario Legislature by Major James H. Clark, K.C., M-L.A., for Windsor-Sandwich, a former Inger- aoil boy, who was bom and raised here and received his education in Ingersoll Public School and the local Collegiate Institute. Major Clark, who is a supporter of the govern­ ment, expressed himself quite for­ cibly a* not being satisfied with the present liquor “control” law. He came out quite plainly and; stated that he favored more open sale of beer, wine and liquor than permitted under the present law. During the course of his contribu­ tion to the Throne speech debate, Major Clark intimated that he was in favor of freer sale of intoxicat­ ing beverages. “Do you mean to say that you are in favor of the freer sale of beer and liquor?” asked W, A. Baird, (Con. Toronto-High Park.) "I certainly am,"declared the Windsor member. “1 have lived in France where you can buy whiskey at the corner grocery store and the only place that you ever see drunk­ enness there is at a wedding or a funeral. They have learend how to handle the liquor problem:" Later, in support of his argument, that prohibition had been responsible for many persons taking a drink who had never tasted it before, he de­ clared that his mother 71 year* of age, had never tasted liquor until after prohibition. Then she had decided that there must be something nice about liquor when policemen shoot bootleggers and bootleggers shot policeman just because people wanted liquor. She took a sip and after that for the rest of Ker life she had two little nips a day. Still later, in reply to charges that there was not the degree of control which there should be, Mr. Clark declared that the only criti­ cism that he had to offer in respect to the appointment of E. G. Odette as head of the Liquor Board was that he was “too Puritanical." Art Galley Notes Weed inspectors present were E. H.

Ultimate Limit For Parliament On Sunday, Sept. 8th, at 12.05 a.m., the present Parliament dissolv­ ed, will cease to exist by the lapse of its statutory life. The writs for a general election, however, do not necessarily have to be issued at that time, but the re­ quirements of national service—the voting of supply to carry on business of the Dominion—necessitate the assembling of a new Parliament— and consequently the election of its members—early in 1936. The terms of the British (North America Act provide that "every House of Commons shall continue for five years from the return of the writs for choosing the House (subject to be sooner dissolved by the Governor General), and no longer." The five years begin to run only from the day on which the last re­ turn writ—in the present case that of the Yukon—is received. In calculating the duration of each Parliament, ike day on which writ* are re" ble is counted to ff .iament begin* . of that day. Hon. Duncan Marshall, Minister of Agriculture for Ontario, ha* re­ cently announced that his depart­ ment will not reduce grants to'agri- cultural fair* this year, despite the fact that an effort is being made to reduce expendture* in this branch by $400,000. This will be good news to the progressive men and women in this district.who give so freely of theiratimc and their talents to spon- ser fall faira. For some years the Department of Agriculture has frowned on horse racing act fall fairs and Hon. Duncan Marshall warned that fairs which make horse racing a feature may find themselves in a little prayer meeting with J. A. Carrol), superintendent of F*iro, if they persist in featuring such attrac­ tions. Mr. Marshall termed the prizes awarded for such races as "theft from the sheep, swine arid cattle breeders, who are the real ob­ ject of assistance and betterment at the Fairs.” Ingersoll Fair took the right course a few years «go in fea­ turing the Dairy Cattle $now, as well as horses, swine, aheep/etc. Com­ petition in agriculture /s the real ob­ ject of a fall fSiir, ajid if this com­ petition Is made virth while and given sufficient publicity, the fair will not lack for ^tronage.

If thJiFalr Board believe the public want horw races we would suggest that in p*ae of. f ♦ rofasrional horse races, IiT • The exhibit at the Art Gallery this month shows a decided contrast to that of last month. In place of the smaller and more delicate col­ or wood-cuts, the walls are ablaze with large travel posters, British posters of unusual interest. They are for the most part the work of members of the Royal Academy and such names as Arneshy Brown, Sir D. Y. Cameron, Cambell Taylor and Julius Clson are among them. They were commissioned by the London Midland and Scottish Railway and Hie results set a high standard in poster work. Cathedral interiors, beaches, hill districts, historical epota are set forth in a most attractive way. Among the outstanding pos­ ters are two by Cameron, the Scot­ tish Highlands and Stirling, which are especially rich in color and stirr­ ing to the imagination. Julius Ol­ sson represents northern Ireland by a dramatic effect of lighting on a ruined caatle and on sweeping waves in the foreground. The industrial district of England has an appeal when described in poster form by Amesby Brown. Norman Wilkin­ son lures one to Ireland by a re­ freshing poster of ship, sea and cloud, simply executed with fkesh color and massed design. Nearly all the°worka have the striking effect of posters but with picture value as well. There are also three or four by porter artists, Purvis, New- bsld and Norris, which show a rather different approach and add interest. The whole exhibit is one of impor­ tance and one which was difficult to obtain so it should not be missed. New Auto Has Engine In the Rear The Stout Scarab car now being built in Detroit, is a direct descend­ ent of the modern airplane, rather than of the horseies carriage of the “gay nineties.” Jn it, America, has what is generally accepted to be its first rear-engined automobile and among the firat to approach true rtreamlining. While conventional automobile designers retreat this year from their last season’s efforts to impose airplane features upon 39- year-old basic designs, William B. Stout, former Ford airplane designer, has discarded such precedents and has made direct application of air­ plane principles to road conditions. The new car resembles the shape of the Egyptian beetle, for which it is named. It looks rather as though running in reverse, for it is large and roomy in front and slender be­ hind, where the engine is placed. Streamlining exactly aa used in airplanes would not have been effic­ ient for tlje reason that airplanes are always heading into the wind, while automobiles and trains encounter side winds. In the Scarab, Mr. the result that it is BO roomy inside that it is possible to equip it with sleeping accommodation* for twe people by a clever arrangement of the seats and chairs provided for day­ time use. There is more than five inches more headroom than in the EAST NISSOURI Stout inclined the side windows eo that such air walls and currents would pass over the car with, the least possible resistance.The same ■ principle was used when Mr. Stout designed the streamlined Union Pa­ cific train. Such streamlining, it is claimed, not only reduces drag—and conse­ quently saves gas (at high speeds), but also facilitates steering and in­ creases roadability. The placing of the power plant in the rear makes this streamlining pos­ sible, and also provides for a better distribution of wegiht add conse­ quent easier riding. Better brak­ ing and a lessened tendency io skid are also claimed. An added advantage, as far as summer passenger comfort is con­ cerned, is that hot air and fumes cannot enter the car at alb One of the conventional relics of early high-slung, top-heavy cars, is the running board or “step up.” By doing away with these, baby European cars have for some years been given seats as wide as larger vehicles. Free of the force of pre­ cedent. Mr. Stout applied the same idea to his full-sized Scarab, with New riding ease results from a new system of body suspension in .which the points of support are con­ siderably above the centre of gravity so that the body hangs in much the manner of a hammock. The body and chassis are built in one piece on a foundation of alloy steel tube hoops. The total weight is 1800 punda A V-8 engine of 100 horsepower provides the power. Controls are of the conventional type. The driver's seatlis in the usual position and is fanned to the floor, while the other chairs and seats are mov­ able.

"Dick’s right," she was sobbing. “I don't want champagne—and I don't want to stay at this party, either. I Ellen was removing her hat, and the jacket that she wore. She ran her fingers through her hair. "Do you know,” he said at last, stretching his legs out in front of him, "there's been a lot oi excitement and drinking and smoking, but we haven't had anything to eat since luncheon. Maybe we're hungry. Maybe that’s what's wrong with us.” Life was like that. It caught you up to the heights of hysteria.

It was as if there lud never been any melodra­ matic, ugly scenes.Ellen called back:“I like this a lot better than the Sans Souci.” And Tony answered, "I’ll say I do, too!”They ale their sandwiches eagerly, and drank their milk, from gayly painted five and ten cent store trays. There were olives, too, and cookies, and preserved peaches. It was like a party—a juvenile sort of a party. Ellen, as she bit into her sandwich, knew that "she had been ravenous. Maybe that was what was the matter with them—maybe they had been hungry. Many a truce has been de­clared over a fried egg sandwichl Many a home has been reunited across preserved peaches and a dish of little want io go away from here! Jane, she's right, too.

It was twenty-four hours since she had met Tony, since site h*d first met hint— it war twenty-jour lifetimes. She couldn’t speak. Neitlier could Dick, but a white rage possessed him. But Gay, coming forward with an empty, slim stemmed glass in her hand, was protesting.“I’d like you to know," said Gay, and her face was a saucy gamin’s face, “that some of us take sex as it comes, and kisses as they come., In studios or in front parlors—call ’em । drawing rooms, if you like—have it your own way t I’ve done my kissing early—and stfve you, if I can tel! any­ thing about it—but Ellen hasn't.

"That's the way I feel about it my- *elf,” growbjl Tony.“Of course, I couldn't have expected that you’d understand,” Dick said. He turned on his heel, and then swiftly he turned back again."I wonder if you’ll agree with me, Brander,” he »*id, "in this, at least I Pd like to tell you that I think Ellen’s ■ all in.

Ellen’s eyes, which were almost in­ clined to droop with fatigue, opened very wide."Why, you know my address,” she said. "Take me there.” Tony’s voice was cold and hard. "I suppose you're too innocent io realize," he said, “that people usually go to hotels on their wedding night Illis is supposed, you know, to be our honeymoon.""But," Ellen’s voice was neither cold nor hard, “but—how can it be, Tony? We—all evening it's been so strange— all day! We can’t be married, just because I’m wearing a ring. I can’t be your wile just because—"“I thought," said Tony, "that my ring was supposed tn be enough, as long as my worldly goods went with it—that seems to be the consensus of opinion, too.

I don’t see that you’ve got any special license to talk as you But even so, there were things to be said— this pleasant interlude couldn't go on forever. As she ate her second cooky, slowly, Ellen wished that the argument might start, so that it would the soccer be over. Ellen precipitated the crisis. She was always saying things she didn't mtena to say."Can Jan© cook?” she asked.Tony shrugged."I wish,” she said, "tliat we might have liked each other, Jane and I. But I’m afraid it isn't possible ...""Tliat.” said Tony, "is the way I fed about Alven. He’s a nice guy, and I don’t doubt a good artist—but I'm afraid he’s out. So far as I'm concerned.”"Dick,” Ellen rose and carried her tray away to the kitchenette place, “Dick is so regular, Tony, you must understand tliat. He’d asked me to marry him, yes. But never—never— lias he ever kissed mt, before this day —you've got to believe that! And he’ll never kiss me again. I'm sure— unless 1 tdl him to. You can couni on Dick, Tony. Dick is a gentleman.” “And Jane,” said Tony shortly, "is a gentle woman. You can count on her!"Ellen could have killed herself for saying it, but she couldn’t help her­ self."Jane didn’t make it very easy for me. tonight.” she said. "I didn't think slw acted like a gentlewoman, exactly. She gave me a rotten time." Tony was flushing, but, oddly enough, he held his peace.“I don't think she behaved very well, either," he said. "And I don't know whether or not she was in love with me. Our families were friends— our summer .places were adjoining. I’m fond of Jane, too. She rides well and plays a swell game of golf, and tennis, and she can dance.""I can dan»e, too,” said Ellen. She offered it babyishly, as an apology because she couldn’t ride or piay golf or play tennis <. .Tony agreed. “I’ll say you can dance," he agreed. All at once he was coming across the little prim room—and then he wa: or the arm of Ellen’s chair, and his ami was around her."I'll never forget our first dance together." he said, darling?” "Will you—my Tony's jaw. also, was set "I guess,” he said, "that we’d better go to your room, at that. We’ve got to talk this thing out, you and I."They reached her room. It was such a cool, sweet little room that But even as their lips met, Ellen found herself wondering whether her father had said that, long ago. to her mother. She fought against the way in which she was returning Tony’s kisses —- she fought to keep the thoughts of her father, of her mother, uppermost. "I’ll not let you get me.” she said,* a trifle breathlessly, more than a trifle wildly.Tony's arm grew tighter; he hadn’t quite caught the words."But I have got you I" he said.“You’ll never get me." she said. "Not realty! Remember that, Tony. There can be fifty girls like Jane, and they can all love you, and it won't matter to met Remember that, Tony.

WRIGHT Third Vice-President and Manager for Canada, Metropolitan Life insur­ance Company, who reports increased investments in the Dominion. brings tho total of such excess pay­ments and investments over premi­ ums to about 8126,000,000 in tho 63 years that wo have been doing business in the Dominion.” Mr. Wright pointed out that the Metro­politan’s investments in Canada had increased during 1934 and now totalled $256,920,068 of which $173,744,148 was in Bonds issued or guaranteed by Dominion, Pro­vincial or Municipal governments. •‘The double value of this typo of investment cannot bo over-estima­ted,''' ho said. "Not only is it a safo investment for policyholders funds, but also this money is contributing greatly to tho building-up of our country and tho betterment ‘of communities all over Canada." The amount of lif& insurance in force in Canada now totals $1,022,- 859,031, thia being a substantial gain over the preceding year. Payments to Canadian policyholders and bene­ficiaries for 1934 totalled $28,263,755 and during the year over 400,000 free nursing visits were made to , Industrial and Group policyholders in Canada.It is interesting to note that the Metropolitan’s first .publication on health was issued id 1871 and that the nursing service. for Industrial policyholders started in 1909. Since the Company first cooperated in 1892 with Government officials in a threats enod cholera epidemic, it has worked side by side with national, provincial and local health organizations to stamp out preventable disease. It is pointed out that new low mortality figures are recorded in 1934 for prac­tically all of the diseases against which public health forces have directed special preventive measures — notably typhoid fever, tulwreulo- sis, diphtheria, infant mortality and maternal mortality.Definite evidence of improving business conditions in Canada and the United States Is indicated by tho increase in tho total life insurance in force, in income and in assets.The amount of new life insurance, including policies revived and in­creased during tho year totalled $3,287,100,370 which was $112,105,- 895 greater than tho amount of the past year. This increase is evidence of a healthy progress in business conditions, especially when it is considered that tho demand for Solicy loans has dropped to tho pro- opresaion level, and the demand for surrender values has decreased con­siderably. Tho Company’s 1934 busi- nesa was done at an average rate of 19,900 policies for $10,884,438 issued, revived and increased, for each busi­ness day.A still further indication of bettor times is the increase In life insurance in force of over six hundred and eighty-six million dollars. Tho Com­pany at the end of 1934 had 41,970,- W1 policies in force for a total of $19,489,805,475 on the lives of about twenty-seven million peopW. Tho total of Ordinary insurance in force ha* now passed tho Ten Billion Dollar mark.Payments to policyholders and beneficiaries resulted in a consider­able amount of money being put into daily circulation during 1934. Tho year’s total was over five hundred and twenty-five million dollars, of which more than two- thirds was paid to living policy- holders. This sum.represented pay­ ment of $4,351.73 during each minute of each business day in the year. The Church Culture Club present­ed a play entitled, “Here Comes Charlie,” on Friday evening, in the I.
