Fifty Years Ago in Canada and Glengarry

Personages and Events of That Period Recalled

By A. W. McDougald. (Continuation of Section 21)

A recital of tlie happenings which îfollowed and resulted from Capt Miles Macdonell^s installation as Governor in any sort of d'Ctail would require â very fat ^volume. Space available in this newspaper -confines me to the merest skeleton of a sketch needful, liowever, as I think to a clear view of how and under what influences a great commonwealth was created.

The Northwesters had been for more than 25 years carrying on a great •Bcheme of commerce and they gradu- ally extended their infl.uence ^over the greater part of Rupert’s Land and even beyond. Like the Hudson’s Bay •Company which was in the field more than a hundred years earlier they rigidly excluded colonization and agri culture from their scheme of opera- idons. In the earlier decades of their •aetivities they disuaded and later ag- gressively undertook to prevent all others from engaging in any sort of en terpiise whatever in thes-e regions.

When Lord ' Selkirk entered the ifield with his expansive .plans of col- onization and settlement he explicitly renounced any purpose of taking up any branch of the fur trade. He woulcf confine himself, to bringing out and to establishing upon the land' as many of the evicted farmers and crofters from the Western Highlands as might be inclined to join» his great adventure. "B-ë' in the company of Sir Walter Scott, had visited the eviction areas. The scenes of privation and desolation which unfolded themselves in every •direction aroused his compassion and he resolved to bring relief to his dis- tressed countrymen. Contemporary re- cords now are conclusive that he had visions of expansion of empiré and^^®“ in the country, that the field of his choice afforded The North West Co. had entered and the Teadiest means of escape for'the gradually penetrated into the re- classes being driven off their native -motest parta of Rupert’s Land, estab-

*soil by the social and industrial con- lishing posts at many strategic points ditions prevailing. In the immediate- after all of that region had bo*i' ly preceding decades they had been granted by, Royal Charter to the llud- going in large numbers to similar col- son’s^Bay Co. The latter alone could onies in the' United States. He- sought 1‘ave given title to the sites so oceu to enlist the portieipation of others pie^ and couJd have given license to after he had obtained the land agree- ^'^t timber. Instead of which posses- ment and grant from the Company s^on was takèn withoift leave or h but, this failing, he went ‘ forward ceilse. The position of the **partners” with one increasing purpose at his little if any better than that of own personal cost and risk. He was ^‘squatters” and was, therefore, de- himself the proprietor of large estates cidedly precarious. They had made ^an near Edinburgh^ his seat being St. effort to acquire a dominant position Mary’s Isle, where he carried on fa*'m- by purchase-of shares in the H. B. Co. ing operations with great success and, but had been forestalled in this by it is said, under advanced motî'oJs for Selkirk. Though there is no evidence the time. j that any step had been at any time tak-

Immediately Selkirk and his agents en either by Selkirk or theH.B. Co. tend- opened a campaign for enlisting re- Tng to disturb their position in the fur cruits for the colonization plan they trade the partners” . were greatly encountered concerted and most virul- concerned. Unable to assert any ent opposition. His Lordship was as* color of title in themselves they be- sailed as a wild visionary, the victim to assail Selkirk’s title ,as deriv- of a ^^paroxysm of colonizing disor- ed from the H. B. Co., upon the der,” carried on (this the view of ground of non-user. Wm. McGilli-viray) as a cloak to the winter of 1813-14 this para- plans of aggr'ession against the fur- mount question came to a dramatic is- trade of the North West Company, sue through the Proclamation of Gov with all ‘'the artifices of the Ameri- ernor Macdoneil declaring an embargo

of the time and by private communi' cation. They were consonant with and in pursuance of the declared design of the Northwest Co. already quoter! as well as with instructions directed by a meeting of Northwestefs held London immediately the fact of the Assinaboia grant became known, to be communicated, so Simon McGillivray directed, “to every Northwest winter partner and trader from Port Williapr*. to th-e remotest tràding-posts of Atha- baska, so that each in his separate sphere might take all' means to thwart the project.” Sir Alexander McKenzie, now a principal proprietor his XY. Co. having been amalgamated in 180H with the North West Co.,

pledged himself in the most unequi- vocal and decisivie manner to oppose the establishment 'of this colony by all means in his power.”-

Moreo^Ter the nature and char- acter of the colony itself, its physical qualities, were traduce^ in unrestrain- ed language. Not at the particular time of the enlistments, but a feW years later in another connection, the Reverend John Strachan (first Angli- can Bishop in Upper Canada), an î^vowed North West sympathizer, wrote that the Assinaboia colonization plan was “one of the grossest imposi- tions that ever was attempted on the British public”; and further that “all tho premises urged in the prospectus tn leave (that is to emigrate) Great Britain are false or delusive./’ De- nouncing the expedition a writer ip an Inverness paper declared: j “Even >U' they escape from the scalping knife they will be subject to constant alarm and terror. Their habitations, thei' crops, their, cattle will be destroyed, pud they will find if impossible to ex-

can landjobber”; moved by vain and mercenary designs. >

These representations were disse- minated all over Scotland in the press

in respect to certain supplies and pres cribing boundaries. There ensued the ■very notorious “Pemmican War”, ac tually the first North West rebellion.

Ihe Fiflh of Novemlier 1867 io Clengarry

The anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot WAS celebrated by the Orangeutcn of Kenyon and Lochiel, in the County of Glengarry, in a manner that would do credit to any of the Orange i>is- tficts of the Dominion. The Brethren mustered in full force at Pine Grove Lodge. No. .951, at Laggan, the mem- bers of this Lodge alone numbers 150, all of whom are of Scotcb descent. On Tuesday morning a committee of twelve with Piper Fraser and the drummer belonging to the Lodge with flags s-nd banners drawn by four grey charges and drove fro mthe Lodge to the residence of Brother McLennan to welcome Brother David Grant, of Montreal, who in answer to several pressing invitations had arrived the evening prevdouéy'-^té . partaken of the

^hospitality of Mr. and ^ Mrs. McLennan with others of the Brethren from Montreal. After the usual-happy con- gratulations from the Brethren the

visitors were driven to the Lodge Eoom^ the baud playing “See the Con- quering Hero Comes.” The Brethren from the different districts being as- sembled with their lady friends, the latter having provide^ a plentiful sup-

I*ply of tea, coffee,' sandwiches, pies, tarts and euatards, sat down to do justice to the good things provided, which, with the pleasant smiles and cheerful countenances added to the en jcyment of the day. After having, re- freshed the inner man the company adjourned upatars to the Lodge Boom

The ebair was occupied by the Mas- ter, who introduced Bro. Grant to his fMlow-countrymen, and in a few well

j chosen remarks conveyed to him their ■ entire sympathy in his prebent posi- j tion, and assured him of their hearty co-operation in the future. The Deputy Master then presented Brother Grant

. with an address of welcome very neat- I ly got up. Bro. Grant replied in his ^ usual eloquent manner on behalf of- the- brethren of Mon^i'eal, ^nd

j explained their poBition^ past and I present. Bro Malcolm B. McCuaig, I District Master was the next called I (Continued on page 8)

[aslern Counties' Plowing , Match Held At Glen Gordon

After two postponements, owing to unfavorable v^eather conditiolns, the annual plowing match of the Eastern counties, under tho auspices of the Glengarry Plowmen’s Association this year, was eventually carried out as originally intended on Tuesday of this week, though somewhat handi- capped by King Frost, which necessi tated a delay in the starting until shortly before noon witb the result that darkness had set in before com- petitors in several classes had complet- ed their work.

President Robert MacKay, Sec’y Treasurer J. W. MacEae, '“District Agricultural Represent-ative F. C. Mc- Rae and the directors generally had previously seen to it that the McLen- nan farmy at Glen. Gordon, had been staked 'out to meet the-* occasion’s re- quirements and no small job under fav- orable condition but much more so for Tuesday.

A vhuge tent was pitched on the grounds and the Glen Gordon Women who undertook to serve dinner won many encomiums for the exceptionally good repast fhrnished.

Fifty-four teams were on the en try book and it is to the, credit of the competitors that they were equal to the occasion in cooperating with the officials in bringing the matea t v a successful issue. Again the attendance, which included many ladies, denote! that interest even under trying condi- tions had not waned for there was a representative gathering of agricul- turists and others and as the compe- ition was keen in several of the classes the excitement of friends of those con- cerned was kept at high pitch. .

Plowmen were present from CarU- ton, Grenville, Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry, Prescott a^J Russe 1 coun- ties.

That evening, in the McRae halJ, Lancaster, a was held under the auspices of the Association with the President, Robert MacKay, Reeve of Maxville, in the chair. The attend- ance was most gratifying, some 250 ccHVfers being laid.' The catering was done by the Bainsville Ladies and the' menu was of that standard that spoke: volumes for, their ability in the culin- ary art.

Intoreating addresses dnterspe<rsed with vocal and instrumental music, completed an eveiiing that should long be remembered in the annals oP this important association. Plowing Match

The Alexander Hall, here, on Wed- nesday evening of this! week, on the occasion of the first annual meeting of the Glengarry Cheese Factory Pat- rons’ Association was comfortably fill ed with a thoroughly representative gathering of dairymen and keen inter- est prevailed throughout though it was fully 11.30 before adournment.

Prior to fhe meeting, however, some fifteen ininutes were employed in the holding of the Eastern Dairymen’s District meeting, having for its pri mary purpose electing of a direc- tor of that well known Association. Mr. Arch J. Macdonald who preside! explained the object of the meeting and ananounced as a programme of speeches had been arranged by the executive of the Patrons Association, they would benefit in that regard.

Death Calls Archibald Mark Chisholm Baaker, Mialag Fxecative aod Philanthropist

A generous heart was stilled, a no ble soul passed to its eternal reward, when Archibald Mark Chisholm, one of Alexandria’s most eminent and best loved sons, breathed his last at his home in Dulath, Minn., early Saturday morning, November 4th. Even to the very last that indomitable courage, which had overcome every obstacle t.hrouglhout his brilliantly successful career, bore him up in sickness as in health, winning the admiration of all who surrounded him..

The late Arch. M. Chisholm was the eldest son of Donald Andrew Chisholm, ■•.vho came out from the Highlands cf Scotland and settled here in Alexan- dria in 1857, and his wife Catherine Chisholm of St. Raphaels, whom he married in ,1861. Archie was born on April 25th, 1862. His father, broken down by the loss of two children with- in a few months of each other, died in 1879, and with the full responsibility of caring for the large family devolv- ing upon his widowed mother Archie

The late Archibald M. Chisholm

realized that he must los© no time in sharing her burden and in 188-.> he w-eiit'to.-j7ork in. Chicago and later in the same year proceeded to Chippewa Falls -with Archibald McNeil and spent that winter in the woods. The fol- lowing year he took a commercial course which was of material benefit

preparing him for his career as a banker. From 1883 onwards Mr. Chish- olm was in a mining office at Ely, Minn., where he soon mastered theYine points of the mining business.

In 1893 he moved to Hibbing where he and and his associates found-

l the first bank in that town. As a dir- ector of that ii.stitution A. T.I. Chisholm won prompt recognition, and when the merger known as ‘ ‘ The Lumbermen and Miners’ Bank” was formed Archie was appointed its fii-»t Vice-Presi- dent, A. D. McRae now a member of the Senate of Canada being one of the direetors-

After disposing of his interests in this bank in 1900, Mr. Chisholm pro- ceeded t;o Duluth to supervise his al- ready considerable investments there. In the meantime he had married Miss Lillian Cummings, of Chippewa Falls, ■Wisconsin, to whose encouragement, advice and sound judgment he attri buted much of the success of his sub- sequent- business ventures.

Four childr.?n blessed their union of whom- the eldest Catherine died in 1904 and the three others Mrs. Dorothy Josephine Salyards, Mrs. Eulalie Mary Harison and Archibald Mark, Jr. sur- vive to mourn with their mother, the loss of a devoted, Affectionate and in- dulgent father, also six grandchildren. Eulalia, Dorothy Ely and Catherine Salyards, Daivid and Theresé Han-

larly favouroc^. St. Fiipan’s’ Cathedral points with grateful <pride to its love- ly pipe-organ and to St.. Joseph’s mar- ble side altar, gifts of this kindly bene- factor. Th© Monastery of the Precious Blood, built in memory of his devoted mother, stands as a perpetual monu ment to bis charitable disposition, while Ciiisholm Park, the Fair Grounds and many o.her gifts proclaim his un- selfish bounty. Many of our clergy and private ’ individuals were ifrequeritly remembered by that unassuming Good Samaritan who asked nothing in return ‘ Even, the Highlands of Scotland have, ceme within the circle of his benefac- tions.

His last visit to Alexandria was on the occasi'on of the 100th anniversary of th© founding of St. Finnan’s Par ish in June 1933, and H was singular- ly fitting "that these celebrations should have taken place on the very site of the Chisholm home, now used as the box-lacross© grounds here.

Months of sickness had left their mark, but the hero of our sketch ap pcared on that occasion to he regain- ing his strength, and his many Glen- garry friends and well wishers hoped that he would still enjoy several years of business activity before retiring to enjoy a well-merited rest. Such was not to be, however, and after several months protracted illness Archibald Mark Chisholm went forward on Sat- urday last to face his Maker and re ceive his reward for a life in which good works and charity had been the natural outpouring from a heart of gold, softened and moulded by an ear- Ij* training at his mother’s knee in which Scottish tradition and love of religion wert- so beautifully blended.

We, lea /e him therefore confident that he has heard those blessed words, “Well done good and faithful servant, possess the kingdom prepared for you.”

, Shortly before the arrival of the westbound morning train, on Wednes day 8th inst., a large gathering of re- latives and friends assembled at the G.N.B. station, here, ^to meet the re- mains of Mr f Ghishoitn, which . were accompanied from Duluth by his wi- dow, Mrs. A. M. Chisholm, Archibald M. / Chishblm, Jr., Mr. and Mrs: Ely i Salyards, Mr. Donald J. Macdonald,' Miss Anne Macdonald and Miss I, Pepher.

As the cortege proceeded to St. Fir* nan’s Cathedral, there was striking evidence that Alexandria mourned the passing of a native son and benefac- tor, business being practically sus- pended! That sacred edifice was filled with a congregation, not merely made up of parishioners, but including many from adjoining parishes and from Montreal, Ottawa, Timmins, Ont., Tor- onto, Cornwall, and Malone, N.Y.

The Solemn Mass of Requiem was celebrated by Jîev, A^L. MacDonald, of Williamstown, with Revs. C. F. Gauthier, Appl© Hill and Â. L. Cam- eron, Moose Creek, as deacon and sub- deaeon respectively.

His Excellency Bishop Couturier presided at the Mass; Rt, Rev, Mon- signor D. R. MacDonald, Glen Nevis, was the assistant priest; Revs. D. A. Campbell, St.'Raphaels, and Jv J. Mac- doiell, Chaplain of the Monastery o." the Precious Blood, 'chaplains to Bishop at the throne.

paid tribute to the memory of Archi- bald Mark Chisholm as follows:

“"We ar© gathered in this Church this morning for a threefold purpose.—

First to pray for the repos© of the soul of Archibald Mark Chisholm whon* God in His all wise Pro<vidence has called to Himself.

Therefore w© have just offered the most holy Sacrifice of the Mass, that the Blood’bf-'tke Lamb wash all stains; from his soui making it acceptable' in the sight of the Mjost High. Therefore we have offered this same ‘‘sacrifice

that the abundant merits of the Sav- iour and Redeemer of mankind pay the just debts due on- account, of this man’s transgressions.

The second reason of. our meeting is a tribute of\gratitude to Archibald Mark Chisholm for the many acts of kindness, generosity, and friendliness, that hai'e made him a benefactor to this Town and Parish.

His memory stands for Love and De- votion to his Kome and parents; he will be remembered long, for his loyalty to the friends of his youth, for his love, of the brotherhood. To him, not only does the religion of this town owe much but the social apd recreational side of life is a debtor.

As JBishop of this Cathedral and as citizen of this town it is therefore my duty not only to voice my feelings but t© be the spokesman of you al! in grateful remembrance of a true and generous friend.'To Archibald Mark Chisholm therefore we give this ex- pression of our deep gratitude and thanks, knowing that through the Holy Mass God Himself will repay in death what we could not repay in life.

Thirdly we are met to testify to hw family and all his relatives our deep sympathy iri their loss and ■'the assur- ance that as he did not forget us dur- ing his lifetime the memory of Archi- bald Mark Chisholm will ever remain in our grateful hearts.”

STANDING SEED CROP COMPETITIONS CANADA’S TOBACCO RECORD

• It is not too much to stay that the large quanti- ties of improved seed produced in recent years in Canada and made available at reasonable cost for sowing on Canadian farms, are the direct result of the Seed Crop Competitions. Neither is it difficult to visualize the effect on Canadian agriculture of thousands of farmers throughout Canada compet- ing year after year in the production of seed of the highest quality in all the common kinds Of farm crops.

S,eed competitions originated in 1S99 when Dr. Jks. W. Robertson, then Commissioner of Agri- culture and Dairying of the Dominion Departnient of Agriculture, put aside $100 of his own money to offer in prizes to Canadian boys ^nd girls who would send him collections of the largesf heads from the most vigorous plants of wheat and oats from their fathers’ farms. In the following year Sir. Wm. Macdonald, of Montreal, with a plan for con- tinuing and enlarging this orgânized encouragement of seed selection, provided the sum of $10,000 for prizes. Thus began in 1900 the Macdonald-Robert- son Grain Competition for boys and girls under 18 years of age living on Canadian farms; Pifteén hundred boys and girls entered the competition the first year and eight hundred reported at the end of the year.

Following the completion of three years of these competitions the fathers of a number of the competitors; and some of the competitors them- selves, were organized in the- Macdonald-Robert- son Seed Growers’ Association^, which, in 1904, be- came the Canadian Seed Growers, Association, the object of which has been to encourage the general use of improved seed with the view to increasing the yield and quality of the field crops of Canada- Two years later, in 1906, competitions in standing fields of grain of not less than^ ten acres were con- ducted for the first time in two agricultural socie- ties in Manitoba, thirty-one in Saskatchewan and seven in Alberta. The Provincial Department of Agriculture for Sasckatchewan provided a special grant of $100 to each of their agricultural societies which conducted a competition and the Provincial Department of Agriculture for Alberta reimbursed its agricultural societies to the amount of tiyo- thirds of the money paid out by them oh account -of these field competitions. The Seed ' Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture, as it does to- day, financially assisted the association to organ- ize the competition, provided competent judges at no cost to the agricultural societies.

The judges, -seventeen in all, selected for jud- ging these first field competitions, met at Indian Head directly prior to starting out, to discuss mat- ters- pertaining to the standards of excellence for fields of seed grain, and to accustom themselves to the use of score cards, by means of which the judg- ing might be rendered uniform.

The following year, 1907, the number of agri- cultural societies conducting field competitions had increased /to 60, of which 11 were in Ontario, 1 in Manitoba, 38 in Saskatchewan, and 10 in Alberta. The number of field competitions grew to 120-in 1908 and included 3 in Prince Edward Island. By 1909 all the Maritime Provinces were participating. The total number of competitions, increased to 300 in 1912 when they were divided among all the pro- vinces of the Dominion and when the variety of crops had been enlarged-to include wheat, oats, barley, flax, timothy and potatoes. In the same yepr the Ontario Vegetable Growers’ Association con- ducted competitions in' pqt^toes. celery and onions. Prom then onward there was an almost uninter- rupted increase in the number of these field crop competitions until 1920 when a total ÿof 612 were conducted throughout Canada with jiractically all the kinds of crop Common to Canadian agriculture. Since then these field crop compeitions have con- tinued to flourish even since the advent of the more elaborate combined competitions. o

CHAMPION EGG CONSUMING COUNTRY

Canada is now the champion egg consuming country of the world for the reason that confidence has been established in the consumer through the grading of eggs. This system of grading is standard- dized in a nation-wide way, weight of eggs being included in the grades. This grading of eggs for interior quality is the natural evolution from cand- ling—the simple process by which the quality cf an •egg is deternifcied by being held up to a strong electric light in place of a candle as in the ea?*licr days. Grading has developed into a standardiza- tion of grades and the establishment of Canadian Standards for eggs as they function under the Cana- dian Egg Regulations. In this way the question of 0^^ quality, which at one time \^as an unknown quantity until the egg was brokep open, has been lifted from the slough of uncertainty and placed on the pedestal of certainty, resulting in an almost phenomental increase in the consumption of eggs in Canada during the past decade. Thle new grades

A 1’’, “A”, ‘‘B”, and “C”, recently issued bv the Dominion Department, of Agriculture, have been hailed with universal satisfaction as affording further protection to both producers and consumers alike. Each grade indicates a cerain known definite quality which an egg must possess to qualify for the grade in which it is placed. This is the con- sumer s assurance of certainty as to qualitv

BREEDER GEESE IN WINTER ,

The facts that tobacco exports from Canada exceeded imports last year for the first time on record and that production of leaf tobacco' (54,- 094.000 lbs.) was also the largest on record, owe some of their significance to the practical results of the work and fostering care of the Tobacco Divi- sion of the Dominion Department of Agriculture. For many years experiments and tests have been conducted at the Central Experimental Farm, Ot- tawa, and at other centres, notably at Harrow, Ont., and L’Assomption, P.Q-, the valuable infor- mation thus gained proving of inestimable worth in building up the" tobacco industry of the Dominion. At the present time many studies are being pur- sued -with reference to the further, increase of yield, the effects of -various cultural treatments on leaf maturity, physiological changes accompanying curing, burn tests, fertilizer trials, steam steriliza- tion of tobacco plant beds, etc. In each of the five main types of tobacco grown -in Canada, there are many varieties grown. Preliminary studies have shown that striking resemblaules and differences exist between many varieties of the commercially grown varieties of flue Burley and dark types, and on this basis the varieties of these types were grouped by the Division into sub-types to the benei fit of grower and the market generally. o

?’HE PRINCIPLE OF GRADING

Grading is based on jhe principle that it is sound business to classify live stock,., live stqpk pro- ducts, and other Canadian commodities in such a way that the consumer will be able to recognize and purchase quality y products and that the -producer will be enabled to obtain a higher price- Experience has proved the value ofthis theory. The identifica- tion of top quality beef under red and blue ribbon bands, the grading of poultry, the segregation of eggs and fruit into quality grades which are known to practically every Canadian consumer, and other grading activities have been a tremendous incen- tive to quality production wtih resultant benefit to producers. Grading has not only served to create better prices for quality products, but' has also brought about a substantial increase in consump- tion. At the same time, through gsading Cana- dian products maintain their high level of excel lence in the markets of the world. In this way, the new regulations which are soon to be put in force with reference to the grading of bacon for export to, the British market will solidify Canada’s pre- mier position as an Em'pire source of food products. o ;

TURKEYS IN WINTER

Breeding turkeys should not be confined to houses during the winter months but allowed to roam at will during the day. The only shelter that is required for them at night is a straw barn or closed in shed. They should not be kept in a draughty place, but any building that will provide shelter form wind, rain, and snow is quite suitable. Never house turkeys with hens, says the Dominion Poultry Husbandman, or in heated houses, because colds which later develop into roup are almost sure to follo-w. During the winter months the breeding turkeys should receive only limited rations, as they have a tendency to become over fat if well fed. Hard grain should be given in prefernce to mash or ground grains. Equal parts of oats, wheat and buckwheat are quite suitable during the cold months, but when the weather moderates in spring, the buckwheat should be discontinued. Once daily duing winter is often enough to feed, and fresh during winter is often enough to feed, and fresh water should be provided at least once a day. o '<

LIVE. STOCK PEDIGREE

_ Some thirty years ago a chaotic condition which had developed in the registration of piure- bred live stock in Canada, was remedied by the passing of the Live Stock Pedigree Act which pav- ed the way for the establishment of the Canadian National Live stock Records. Tlie administration of the Live Stock Pedigree Act, and the approval and sealing on behalf of the Department of Agriculture, and signing for the Minister of Aigrieulture of all certificates^ of registration issued by the Canadian National Live Stock Records, is one of the import- ant functions of the Dominion Live Stock, Branch. With, the amending of the Live Stock Pedigree Act at th’e last session of Parliament the necessary con- trol by the Department of Agriculture was mater- ially strengthened in the constructive effort to im- prove cpmmereial live stock of all classes, whether as a matter of individual enterprise or of depart- mental policy. 0

THE FARM HOME WELL

The importance of a pure, wholesome w'atcr supply on every farm home cannot be too often or too strongly stressed. The ’ appearance of water is no reliable index of its sanitary quality. This can be determined only through bacteriqlogical exam- ination, and it is recommended that, before the quality of a well be taken for granted, an examina- tion be made. Many public, health laboratories and agricultural institutions, as well as the Division of Bacteriology of the Dominion Department of Agri- culture, conduct such tests. Application, therefore, should be made to the nearest laboratory in order that examination may be as prompt as possible.! 0

Nickname of Tuckahoe Traced to Aborigines

. “Tuckalioe” is an okl nickname foi the poor class of people living in southern Virginia, says Pathfinder Magazine. In some sections of th< South the term is practically syn onymous with “poor white.” The wefrd itself is supposed to be derived from an Indian word meaning globular and originally was applied to various bul- bous roots u«5ed as food by the abori- gines in that region. Chief among the edible buib«ms roots so designated were those of the golden club or float- ing arum and the Virginia wake robin. But the name also whs applied to Vir- ginia truffle, a curious fungus growth f^und under the soil in the southern states bordering on the Atlantic. The Indians and early settlers were fond of these truffles and generallj they located them by following hogs en- gaged in rooting. In time the term came to signify Indian bread and the inhabitants of lower Virginia were called Tuckahoes because their pov- erty compelled them frequently to re- sort to Virginia truffles or Indian bread for sustenance.

Revelry of Halloween Outdates Christian Era

Halloween and the ceremonies that formerly attended it. long antedate Christianity. The chief characteris- tic in the ancient celebrations of Hal- loween was the lighting of bonfires. The ancient belief was that on this night, the one night in the year, ghosts and witches were abroad. The main celebration of Halloween was, no doubt, Druidical, because the Druids held great autumn festivals on or about the ' date of November 1, and lighted great bonfires In honor of the Sun god as a thank offering for the harvest of the year. The Druids also supposed that • the wicked souls that Had been condemned to live in the bod- ies of animals were allowed to come forth on the eve of the festival. The cus- tom of lighting bonfires on Halloween night survived until recent years in the highlands of Scotland and in Wales. On the invasion of the Ho- mans certain characteristics of the celebration of Pomona, such as offer- ing of apples and nuts, were intro- duced into the celebration of the Druids.

Indispensable Top Hat

The history of clothes shows that the, wildest ideas have often prevailed. What could be funnier or more start- ling than the huge, gray fuzzy top hat of 100 years ago. Yet, every gentle- man had one. In Californian gold ex- citement days, the tallest of black silk hats appeared. They were not re- stricted to the “ton,” either. Prints and engravings of those days show the whole population arrayed in “tops”—

. and regardless of bobtailed coats, too. A tall hat was a guaranty that you

.were getting along, in the world; and no matter how absurd the rest of the costume was, the high hat was imper- ative ; a man’s hosiery might be '^fall- ing down over his unpolished shoes, but at the top he was en regie. His hat marked him as one of les elegantes or atyleast elbow to elbow with them.

Bath as Religious Rite

The first great health officer known to history was Moses. Moses taught the Israelites sanitation and the values of bathing, after their flight out of Egypt. The leader of a theocracy, he made holy laws out of what today would be city ordinances. He had to, in order to get them obeyed.

As a sanitation expert Moses made his people wash—often. ; The religious rites of bathing have'''^ been passed down to us In common custom to this day. Water is used ,^s an outward symbol of spiritual, cleansing..—Detroit Free Press.

Convenient Oxygen

In Germany “oxygen bricks” are put out in glass jars, designed for use in aquariums. A brick sells for the equiv- alent of 16 cents. The oxygen is “chemically bound’*" together, though the name of tlie binder is not men- tioned. It is claimed that these bricks yield 350 times their volume of the life-supporting gas. The bricks may be''safely sent by mail^ The oxygen substance is not preserved under pres- sure, hence there is no danger of ex- plosion. Test rifle shots have pierced the containers without exploding the contents.

Executive Veto Power

“Item veto” is the name applied to the power of a chief executive officer to veto single items in appropriation bills, witliout destroying th'e entire bill. The President of the United States cannot veto single items of a bill ; he must sign the entire bill or veto it. Three fourths of the estate constitu- tions give the item veto to the gov- ernor and it has proved very effective, in preventing riders from being tacked on important bills.—Pathfinder Maga- zine.

Chemicals''in Food

During winter, breeding geese should be fed fill the clover or filfalfa hay and roots they will eat sps the Dominion Poultry Husbandman, "but grain shohld be fed sparingly (just a light .feed morning and flight). With regard to dhe grain, dependence should be‘ placed largely on the coarse grains like oats and barley, only enough wheat and corn be- peing^ allowed to add variety to the ration. As lay- ing time approaches, a light mash may be added and when the geese are laying fully, the mash feed may be increased. . ' '

In the expermental work of the Bee Division at the • Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, during the past year Italian bees again proved superior to, the Caucasians. As in previous years, the addition! of package bees to a weak over-wintered colony in- creased the yield of honey, hut not sufficiently to pay for the bees added. In using a syrup of -white sugar and water as winter stores for bees it was: found that the addition of tartaric acid, or ten per cent of honey, is not necessary if all the sugar cryst- als are thoroughly dissolved.

There are at present 19 known chemical elements which make up both plant and animal matter. These .dements are found in varying amounts in all plant and animal matter and hence in all food. Some of them, of course, are found in infinitesimal amounts. They are: Carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, sulphur, calcium, nagnesiiim, potassium, iron, phos-

.ihoriis, manganese, chlorine, sodium, silicon, aluminum, boron, iodine, flu- orine and arsenic.

When “Dog Collar'* Was Mark of Swell Dresser

Do you know what the well-dressed man in America wore 1,000 years ago? It is what science calls the “dog collar.” A skeleton of an ancieni dignitary with six strings of slate, shell and stone beads about the neck was found by Dr. Frank H. H. I^ob errs. ,7r.. Smithsoi\ian institution arche- ologist, \yhile excavating parts of ar ancient I^iieblo site in Arizona. In tho' course of his work Doctor Roberts came upon ihe ruins of the oldest structure in North America which it has been, possible to date, exactly by the tree-ring method. This was an Indian dwelling which was destroyed In the year 797 A. D. Further finds sho%v that this may have marked about the transition pe;riod between the dominance of tlie primitive “basket-maker^” in the Southwest and the invading Pueblo peoples who evolved one of the highest cultures In the New world before the coming of the \<^hite man. Doctor Roberts found 70 burials, with skeletal mate- rial he expects will prove valuable to anthropologists. Among tliese was the skeleton of the man with the “dog collar.”—Pathfinder Magazine.

Squirrels and Monkeys Have Antics in Common

“Antics of monkeys aloft in coco- nut trees of the tropics have noth- ing on those of the Douglas squir- rels of our^dense forests,” writes a park ranger in “Mt. Ranier National Park Notes.” He was referring to the dropping of cones by the squirrels from the tops of fir trees.

While these missiles are not quite as heavy as coconuts, he points out, they are unusually large and compact, some of them weighing a pound or more7 and one of. them dropping on the top of the head from a height of 150 feet “offers food for thought.”

Recently ^yhen this ranger and a companion were trying to photograph some of these squirrels along the trail from Longmiré to Sunrise they were forced to make a hasty retreat, so fierce was the onslaught of cones. At the approach of the men the squirrel had immediately scurried to the top- most branches of some fir trees and begun cutting cones at a reckless rate.

Building New York / A /valuation of $9,597,305,160 has

been placed on property in New York city.

Slightly mojje than 250 years ago wl^ich is only a short period in the life of cities, Manhattan was a place of little value. The yearly income to the authorities was less than 2,000 pounds or, about $10,000. There were only 384 houses and 400 cattle in the settlement. The port held only three ships, seven boats and eight sloops.

In the next 16 years, house build- *ers were extremely busy. Count made in 1694 showed nearly three times as many houses as in 1678. In fact, the prosperity which British rûle brought was reflected in many directions. Count made in 1694 showed the colony with 983 houses. 4.000 cattle,.60 ships. 40 boats and 25 sloops, and the reve- nue had increased 100 per cent.

Butterfly Farm

It has been noted by gardeners, hor- ticulturists and growers of flowers around the home that some years there is a noticeable absence of but- terflies—those living, fluttering flow- ers that help so much in paking a perfect garden. In England now this want cap be supplied. In a garden in the town of Bexley all kinds of but- terflies are raised for the , market. Housed in sacks amid weeds and flow- ers hundreds of caterpillars feed on their favorite food, and when they are ready for the chrysalis stage they are taken into the greenhouse and kept in cages. The butterfly farmer would sell to anybody, but his main custom- ers so far have been collectors from schools, mfiseums and the zoo.

Quilts in Histbry

The history of quilts is involved in* a tradition of long centuries of slow but certain progress; in fact, the orig- in of all domestic arts is shrouded in mystery. Np positive reference to patchwork or quilting is found in west- ern Europe prior to the time of the Crusades, but from the Eleventh cen- tury these arts become more and more conspicuous in the needlecraft of near- ly. every country in western Europe. Noticeable prof^ress was made in the design of quilts during the Middle ages in Spain. Some of the finest spe- cimens of quilts ' of this period have been preserved in Persia.

Skiing Ancient Sport There is nothing very new about

the sport of skiing. Its beginnings are lost in the shqdowy days before his- tory began. The old heathen religion of Scandinavia had a god named Ull who was the patron' saint of ski-run- ners. An ancient runic stone pre- served at Upland in Sweden i^ carved with a ^cture of a ski-runner. His skis are-not of equal length, but the shorter one was used for propelling himself along and the longer was for running on.

THE WAY TO A MAN’S HEART THREE RECEIPTS FOR INDIVIDUALS

(By Betty Barclay) The way to a mart’s he^rt is through his stom-

ach. So, the wise meii of old proclaimed and it does not take a gerat deal of studying on our part to decide they were right- The male of the species has many favorite dishes. Cook them "«t'eu and he will smile to your entire satisfaction. ^

Among his favorite's .we must certainly list chocolate cake. In fact, he seems to have a leaning toward chocolate in any form—chocolate cake, cho- colate ice cream, chocolate pudding or even choco- late fudge. This fondness for chocolate is not new- ly acquired. Long before Columbus discovered America cocoa beans were being used as ^ood by the natives of Mexico, South America and the West Indies wnere the cacao or chocolate tree grew. Cho- colate was prized as a drink by the ancient Aztecs. They made it by crushing the cocoa beans, beating the fluid into a thick froth, and flavoring it with vanilla and chili peppers. It is said that Montezuma, their great emperor, was very fond of this curious drink.

After the conquests of these daring explorers, chocolate was introduced into Europe vfhere it soon became the fashionable drink.

To day, chocolate and cocoa are used in many dishes other than beverages. Here are three parti- cularly attractive recipes. If you wish to make the males in your own home happy, place one or more of these dishes before them.

Favorite Devil’s Food Cake Two cups sifted cake flour, 1 teaspoon soda,

1-2 cup butter or other shortening, 1 1-4 cups brown sugar) firmly packed, 2 eggs, unbeaten, 6 square-s unsweetened chocolate, melted 1 1-4 cups sweet milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla.

' Sift flour once, measure, add soda, and sift to- gether three times. Cream butter thoroughly, add sugar gradually, and cream together until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat well. Add chocolate and beat well. Add flour, alternately with milk, small amount at a time. Beat after each addition, until smooth- Add vanilla. Bake in two greased 10-inch or three 9-inch layer pans in mod-

'erate oven (325 degrees F) thirty minutes. Spread with divinity frosting

Divinity Frosting Three cups sugar, 1 teaspoon light corn syrup

1 1-3 cups boiling water, 4 egg whites, stiffly beat- en, 1 teaspoon vanilla.

Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Place over low flame and stir constantly until sugar is dissolved and mixture boils. Continue cooking un- til a small amount of syrup forms a soft ball in. cold water, or spins a long thread when dropped from tip of spoon (240 degree F.hPour syrup in fine stream over egg whites, beating constantly. Add van- ill^. Continue beating until stiff enough to spread on cake. Makes enough frosting to cover tops and sides of two 10-inch layers or three 9-inch layers.

Creamy Chocolate Rice Pudding 1 1-2 squares unsweetened chocolate, ‘ cut hi

pieces) 4 tablespoons rice, 1-2 teaspoon salt, 3 cups Cold milk, 2 1-2 teaspoons gelatin, 1-2 cup sugar. 1-3 cup nut meats, broken 1-2 teaspoon vahilla, 1-2 cup cream, whipped.,

Add chocolate, rice, and salt, to 2 3-4 cups milk, and cook in double boiler 15 minutes, stirring occa- sionally. Cover and cook 1 1-2 hours longer. Com- bine'gelatin with remaining 1-4 cup milk and let stand 5 minutes ;add sugar. Add gelatin mixture to hot rice and stir unil gela,tin is completely dis- solved. Chiu. When slightly ' thickened, add nuts and vanilla ; fold in whipped cream. Chill until mix- ture thickens again. Serve in sherbevt glasses, with or without additional whipped cream. Serves 6-

Parfait Mazarin One cup sugar, 1 cup water, 3 egg whites, stif-

fly beaten, 2 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled; 2 cups cream, whipped) 1 tablespoon vanilla.

Cook sugar and water until a small amount of syrup forms a soft ball in cold water, or spins a long thread when dropped from tip of spoon (238 degrees P.) Pour syrup in fine stream over’ egg whites, beating constantly. Continue beating until mixture is cool. Fold in chocolate cream and van- illa. Pour into mold, filling it to overflowing, cov- er -with greased paper, press cover tightly down over paper, and pack in equal parts of ice and salt. Let stand 3 to 4 hours. Or place in freezing trays o' automatic refrigerator and let stand 3 to 4 hours. Serve in parfait glasses and top with whipped cream. Makes 1 1-4 quarts parfait.

HOiW TO HIDE PATCHES

It is often necessary to lengthen a garment. Most people do this by taking out the hem and applying a facing. Sometimes this works very nice- ly and is all that is necessary, but with many kinds of materials the fold'of the old hem shows plain- ly and proclaims to the world that the garment has been lengthened.

A good way to "do is to apply a strip of con- trasting materials, using other bits of the same color elsewhere, not to make it look pieced. Usually it is better to scallbp or notch the piece applied to make it look more lik a fancy trimming. This idea can be applied to qoats for children or grownups, as well as for dresses.

Use the same idèa when necessary to patch a child’s dress. Sometimes a big piece is necessar.v to hide a huge rent. Oveifthis put a butterfly of contrasting material, a big fancy pocket or a ruffle.

When button holes fray out and are .iust big holes, make them into bound button holes. If a piece of the same goods cannot be taken from a seam, use contrasting material or braid.

This works nicely for men’s overcoats. Often a coat is threadbare right at the, seam but not bad elsewhere. The seams can be ripped out and made .iust a fraction of an inch smaller so that the thread- ■bare place is taken out.

Three things which may form the ordinary per- son’s contribution to the. solution of the tremen- dous problems of today were defined as ■ service, character and religion by the Very Rev. Arthur Car- lisle in addressing the eleventh birthday luncheon ,of the Outremont and North End Women’s Club last week in the Windsor Hotel.

The spirit of brotherhood and. the desire to help those in poverty and misery as exemplified in the Federated Charities campaign, was given as an illustration of the virtue of service. If the nations were to adopt the same ^principle there would be no fear of strife.

At the root of all the troubles that afflict the world, according to experts, said Dean Carlisle, is moral weakness—human selfishness, jealousy, pride and greed. The cure, consequently, must lie in the annihilation of those evils. “Our hope lies in building up a straightforward, clean, decent, self- respecting manhood and womanhood—that - is where womanhood has such a tremendous oppor- tunity. The great builders and formers of character are women. The home is the great character-mak- ing institution,” said the speaker) adding that he was not one of those who held that woman’s only place is the home.

- The religion that is not “ehurchism,” not fana- tical denominationalism, but the religion that makes for service that builds and strengthen character, was the third contribution needed from everyone.

Dean Carlisle, discussing the problems that face the world declared that most people are con- tent to sit back and criticize, “waiting for some great industrial, political, fina^ncial, '(agriculthfal and social Moses” to lead them. o

, FOOD VALUES

Some of the common foods with their parti- cular use in the body follow:

Fuel Producing Foods — Sugars, carbo-hy- drates and fats; bread, potatoés, macaroni, spagh- etti and noodles ; cake, cookies and candy ; fats such as butter, butter substitutes and lard; oils such as cotton, peanut, olive ; whole grain cereals made from oats, rice, wheat, corn and barley; sugars such as cane and beet; and syrup such as corn, maple and honey. i

Building Foods—Proteins—Meats, milk, eggs, cheese, griatine, peas, beans and fish.

Regulating Foods — Minerals — Fruit, fresh, dried and canned; green vegetables, fresh and can- ned.

Growth and Disease Resisting Foods—^Vitamin A—Butter, cream whole milk,, egg yolk, spinacli. carrots, tomatoes and cabbage. Vitamin B—Green vegetable, fruitS) whole cereals, yeast and cabbage. Vitamin C-l;Raw tomato, raw grapefruit,' raw limes, raw lemon, raw orange and raw cabbage.

0 FOOD FOR THE LUNCH BOX

What children eat is of utmost importance! Not only many of the ills of childhood (decayed

teeth, stunted growth, etc.), but some of the phy- sical disorders of later life have been traced to lack of proper nourishment during the early years- To day as never before the food and health habits of children are being studied with a view to improving them wherever possible.

Li Country Districts That school lunch very naturally has come in

for its share of scrutiny. In country or small town schools, however, when

no lunchroom is provided the teachers or the par- ents should accept the responsibility- for carrying on this important work. If it seems absolutely im- possible to serve a hot luncheon, the next best thing is a hot beverage to accompany the cold lunch brought from home. This can be accomplished -with very little equipment or effort, and at an extremely small cost per person. ’

In warm weather, cold milk can be substituted for the cocoa or soup, which are the simplest forms of hot food that' can be served. There is almost no excuse for failing to provide this very simple sup- plement to the noon luncheon.

The noon lunch, whether served at school or car- ried from home, must provide food suitable to the age and needs of the children in sufficient variety and in such form as to encourage healthy appetites. Be sure and have some raw foods (fruits and vege- tables) in every box every day. This is vitally im- portant.

There are certain mechanical aids to the pre- paration of a box lunch that help to make the food more appetizing. In the first place, the selection of a container, which keeps the fdod in the best condition arid which itself can be cleaned easily and thoroughly is necessary.

Proper Container Of the numerous sorts of boxes and baskets de-

signed especially for this purpose the metal con- tainer probably has the fewest disadvantages. It protects the food from rain and Snow, it can stand a great deal of abuse, and it will hold firmly glasses or jars which contain soft or semi-liquid foods. There is some danger from food spoilage when food particles or crumbs are allowed to collect in a metal container. Frequent washing in warm suds, followed by a rinse with boiling water and occa- sional exposure to sun and air will however make it perfectly safe.

Tree Rïîght Be Üseful in Fight Against Crow

Perhaps If authorities in towns where the starling has been declared a fauisance would plant a few trees of the species Pisonia Brunonlana in the areas frequented by these birds a part of their problem would be solved. This tree is known to the natives of New Zealand, its native home, as the “bird-eating*’ tree.

Ordinarily only small birds are Its victims, but recently a specimen in the garden of J. Wheeler at New Ply- mouth, N. Z., Is reported to have cap- tured a morepark, a species of owl, which is said to be the largest bird ever trapped by one of these trees.

The “bird-eating” tree has seeds about an inch long that grow in clus- ters and are covered with a heavy gum. When small birds fly into this tree and’.their feathers come in con- tact with the seed pods they are quite likely to be held fast until they are overcome with exhaustion in their ef- forts to escape. The tree In Mr. Wheeler’s garden is said to have trapped hundreds of small birds in this way.

rireatnesd Linked With Cause They Stood For

There are two kinds of great per- sonalities. Some men and women by the sheer brilliance of their native en- dowment become individual geniuses, as Michelangelo was in painting or Einstein in science. There is, how- ever, anpther road to powerful per- sonality open to all of us. We can become interested in something great- er than ourselves. We can identify ourselves with It, and stand for it. The more one studies the biographe of men like Washington and Lincoln, or women like Florence Nightingale, Dorothea Dix and Jane Addams, the more one feels that so far as Indi- vidual brilliance is concerned they might conceivably have been lost in the crowd. What most of all gives them distinction is that they found something in their generation worth while standing for, Identifled them- selves with a cause greater than them- selves, and became so representative of it that when you think of it you think of them.—Harry Emerson Fos- dick in Physical Culture Magazine.

Paint» Long in Use

Who first mixed and used paints is unknown, since paint has been em- ployed from a very early period. White lead was mentioned by Theo- phrastus, Pliny and Vitruvius, who de- scribed its manufacture from lead and vinegar. Yellow ochre was used by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Ro- mans. Pots of it were found ih Pom- peii. Naples yellow has been found in the yellow enamel of _ Babylonian bricks. Verdigris was familiar to the Romans. Indigo has been employed by the East Indians and Egyptians from an ancient time. / V';

Dwarf Camel Fossils

There used to be camels in America, I but they were' little fellows—dwarfs. Dr. Charles W. Gilmore, Smithsonian paleontologist, dug up the bones of

'scores of strange apknals In the foot- hills of the Rocky mountains, some of which are supposed to have roamed that part of the country, .even as far back as 60,000,000 years ago. Among these were skeletons of saber-toothed tigers, camels and rhinoceroses. And the camels were pnly two and a half to three feet tall.—Pathfinder.

‘‘Fisherman’s Ring"

A ring traditionally said to have been worn by St. Peter and still worn by the pope on high ceremonial occa- sions is known as the Fisherman’s ring. “The Fisherman” is the title of the pope, says the New Catholic dic- tionary, “because most of the apostles were fishermen. Our Lord said he would , make them fishers of men (Luke 5) ; this term designates espe- cially their chief, Petfer, and his suces- sorV The papal ring seal is that of the fisherman.”

Important Questions It is never too soon nor never too

late to press home on ourselves ques- tions like the following: What spirit dwells in my heart? What good have I been doing? What works of love have I done? Whal\ deeds of charity have I performed? What fruits of the spirit, what evidence of love, have I to show? We must answer these questions some day. Why not press them now on our hearts and reflect- upon them? —^Exchange.

Lives of Toads and Frogs

Toads and frogs may live for a num- ber of years if they manage to escape theirv natural enemies and remain in suitable environment. There is a well- authenticated case of a toad which lived for thirty-six years and was ac- cidentally killed. The common frog sometimes requires from four to five years to mature in the North, and bar- ring accidents which are usual in a natural state, would probably live ten or twelve years.

Exterminating Pest The hydra is an animal hard to see

that kills young fishes. It Is unknow- ingly introduced into aquariums with plants obtained in outdoor waters. A method of destroying it has been suc- cessfully tried in Germany. By this procedure the hydra is electrocuted, leaving the fish and plants as they are, 1’Ue fish did not suffer, tlfough a few snails passed into oblivion.

Royal Flower of Japan Is the Chrysanthemum

During the chrysanthemum season in Japan the emperor gives a great festival in honor of this flower, for the beautiful blossom, beautiful the world over, lias been singled out as the flow- er of royalty in .Japan. This chrys- anthemum has 16 petals only and its use for the imperial crest goes back many centuries.

There are many legends that clus- ter round this flower, one of the best known being that the fairies make a wine of forgetfulness from the petals of the blossoms. The name is de- rived from two Greek words meaning Gold Flower, and in Japan it is known as White Dragon, Starlit Night, Sleepy Head, the Golden Dew. In China it is called “The King of a Hundred Flowers,” and in both China and .Ja- pan receives great adoration. The chrysanthemum was brought to this country some 50 years ago and today it Is offered in many, many varieties In both perennials and annuals.

Credit Babylonia With Paper Money “Invention”

In Europe paper to represent money first came into use, apparently, during the Middle ages, when the Jewish fi-^ nanclers of those days reinvented the’ bills of exchange of Babylonia and recorded them in Ink on parchment and paper, says a bulletin of the Na- tional Geographic society. Individuals also accepted deposits of coin and bul- lion for safe keeping and issued re- ceipts payable on demand. Thus, the first modern gold and silver certifi- cates circulated from hand to hand in place of the deposits.

The Bank of St George at Genoa and the Bank of Venice were the first corporations to use paper money. Their bills were bullion cer- tificates. Because the use of these receipts was so much more conven- ^ lent than carrying about heavy bags ' of gold and silver, they became pop- ular with merchants and even cir- culated at a premium over coin.

Art We hear a lot about art for art’s

sake and almost every large city in the world has at least one small spot peopled with enthusiasts who insist on painting what they like even though they starve.

But the real old masters of art were not like this if we are to be- lieve the stories handed down about them. A great English lady, after ad- miring one of Whistler’s paintings ex- claimed :

“Don’t you feel delighted when you turn a common piece of canvas into a thing of beauty?”

“Indeed I do, madame,” replied the great artist, “but I’m infinitely de- lighted when I have turned the thing of beauty Into a meal ticket.”

It is not a sleepy town by any means, but ■ a holiday resort. There are hotels, a casino, and medicl- nal,^aters In which the invalids im- merse themselves.

Drudgery Of all the work that produces re-

sults, nine-tenths tnust be drudgery. There is no work, from the highest to the lowest, which can be done well by any man who is unwilling to make that sacrifice. Part of the very no- bility of the devotion of the true work- man to his work, consists in the fact that a man Is not daunted by finding that drudgery must be done; and no man can really succeed in any walk of life without a good deal of what, in England, is called pluck. That is the condition of all success. And there is nothing which so repays itself as the very perseverance against weariness. —^Doctor Temple.

Man-Less City Casablanca, Morocco, in northern

Africa is one of the strangest munici- palities'in the world. Its only resi- dents—and there are 3,000 of them— are unmarried women. Not a man lives in the place. Not all the wom- en are there because they want to be, however. Any girl of the locality found without means of support is placed in the town, which is walled and guarded by an armed patrol. Once placed In Casablanca, a girl is sup- posed to remain there "until some male, seeking a wife, buys her for his own. Sometimes it Is a few weeks. More often it is a'lifetime.

Tlie abace and credenza in early days were often used as service tables, (and still earlier the latter often served as an altar in the less important chnf«.*hes, the accessories to be used upon it being kept inside.

REV. RODERICK MA.CKAY Many in Maxville and district learn

ed with sincere regret of the death in Vancouver,. B.C., on Monday, after an extended illness,, of Rev. Roderick MacKay.

Rev. Mr. MacKay who was. born-in Pietou, N.S., 82 years ago, was educat- ed at Rklhousie and Queen’s Uniyersi ties. For some years, he was pastor of St. Andrew’s Presbyfterian Church, Maxville, but entered the fellowship of the United Chlrc'h in 1025.

Before his retii’ement 12 years ago, he was Minister at Rosedale, B.C.

APPRECIATIVE REFERENCE TO REV. F. W. K. UAREXS.

Writing in the November issue of The Farmer under the caption, “Af ter Thirteen Years” C. Hoodge, who, in 192-1 was agrieultu.’al representative in Pontiac County, refers to the early development of «.cAontifie farming in that district,, and makes' the following

„ ^ appreciative' reference to the work done in that connection 'by Rev. F. W.K. Harris' B.A., who after serving his Church in Pontiac County and the city of London, was, for over five years pastor of. the United Church here, but who was compelled by ill health to‘ resign in 1931.

^‘Before leaving this Story of the Bristol Class, I want to say a word about the prganizer and leader, Rev. F. W^ K. Harris^ now unfortunate'.y retired through ill health, to a quiet home, with his wife and children, in Peterboro, Ont. Through his kindly in- terest in both the spiritual and mat- erial welfare of the members of his church, both old and youngj he exert, ed an influence on their lives that will last much longer than tthe present lapse of time since he was their past?'**.- Through his work it was- possible for the Agricultulral representative to meet and know the peo-ple of that community, far more quickly than through any other source.”’

LIBRARY CONCERT A very delightful evening was spent

at the annual concert and social un- der the auspices of Library board, held in the Institute hall, on Monday evening, at which, Rev. J. H. Hamil- ton, B.A., was chairman The members of the orchestra, Mrs. Ef. T. O’Hara, and Masters Frank Brownskill, How- ard ô’Hara, Carman Kennedy, Henry Wilkes and Menzies MacRae rendered sevieral much appreciated numbers. Piano and violin trios were contributed •by Delbert MacKerchar, Menzies Mac- I^ae^ with Angus MacQueen at the piano.

The vocal numbers which were of mor^than ordinary^ quality were ren- dered-by-'.;Misses Helen MaeCallum. Gretta Hoople, Edith Fletcher, Bernice Scott and Ed. Hunter, Bernard and Cl.earj Villeneuve^ Misses Pearl Fraser

and Gladys MacEwen were aceompaii- ists.

The readings by Miss Catherine MacLeod, ' B.A.^ and Wallace Grant were excellently rendered.

During the evening, the chairman nia;ii’a strong appeal for generous sup- port of the Library, whiph he. describe ed as a clyp-c asset. Taking for the theme of his address ”Remembrance,” Rev. Dr. P. A. MacLeod paid warm tribute to the value of the Library and spoke of the significance of Re- membrance Day, which we wil^ ob- serve on Sunday. ^ The serving of refreshments and the playing of games brought the even- ing’s programme to a close.

INT ^RESTING SERVICES

The services in the United Church 6n Sunday were of a particularly in- teresting character.

Rev. Dr. John Pringle, who, for over sixty years has been active in the Christian Ministry, his fields of activi ty extending .from the heart breaking trails of Klondyke to the bloody fields of Franco and Flanders, was the special speaker, both morning and evening.

Dr. Pringle, who is an ex-Moderator of the General Assembly of the Pres- bzterian Church in Canada, the hero of the Klondyke and an ex-padre to the Canadian troops, in the Great War, is not an orator, in the generally accepted sense of the term—he speaks to the heart instead of to the head. And in his addresses he recounted in- cident after incident in his own Min- istry, in which he had' seen men, when touched by the Spirit of the Christ, transformed from /being doers 'of wickedness into citizens of God’s Kingdom.

In the evening, the musi^ pcrti'‘»n of the. service was screened, as was also the painting ’‘The Great Tempta- tion”, 'Tyhich was the theme of Rev. Mr. Hamilton’s brief address.

RUNS INTO TRAIN . A. MacDonald of Monkland must carry a rabbit’s foot around with him., He figured in an accident here on Friday night, in which though he sus- tained minor injuries and a broken up car, he may thank his st-ars that things were no worse.

When returning from the reception tendered Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Filion in the Agricultural hall, he was driv- ing south on Main Street. Seeing a car, -near the railway crossing, which he thought was stalled, he attempted to pass it, not noting- that a freight train was standing across the street.

He . struck it broadside. The radi- ator of his car was smashed, the lights and bumper kept it company, while the hood was driven through the windshield, and broke the wheel.

So tightly was the engine jammed under te freigth car, tha>t it took over a half dozen men to realease it,

•Besides being cut about the face by flying glass,. Mr. MacDonald was orefty badly shaken up but he soon recovered.

It was fortunate that the train was standing instead of running.

REV. DR. PETER BRYCE SPEAKS “The sorrows of the West, which

have enlisted the practical sympathy . of the East have done more to cement the ties binding those two sections of our country, than any other factor since the Act of Confederation.”

Thus stated Rev. Dr. Peter Bryce, secretary of the Missionary and Main- tenance fund who addressed a gather- ing in 'the United Church, here^ on Tuesday evening, held under the auspi- ces of Glengarry Presbytery. Clerical me^mbers of; Presbytery were J -H. Hamilton, B.A., pastor of the Church who presided and introduced the speak- er, F. J. Vowles^ B. A., Lancaster, Presbyterial chairman for the M. & M. fund and J. C, Eastcott, B.A., B.D., Avonmore, who assisted in the devo- tional exercises.

Dr. Bryce, who recently returned from a tour through the drieà out and grasshopper infested areas of Mani- toba^ Saskatchewan and Alberta, drew a graphic wor^ picture of the heroism being displayed -by the missionaries and people in those parts.

Of the 32,000,000 acres of arable land in Saskatchewan, 22,000,000 o? these "wiere affected to a • greater or

lless degree but he was proud to say that the United Church had not closed one church, though the bounds of piany fields had been extended.

To show thé spirit of the people^ he quoted many heart-touching happen- ings. To cite a typical case he said that a friend - addressing one of the farmers who had suffered r*epeated losses until he was penniless said “You have lost everything.’’ “No” the fanner replied, “I still have my wife and kiddies and I have not lost, my Christian faith.”

Dr, Bryce stated that through the medium of the church, already there had gone forward to the stricken areas frorfi Ontario and Quebec and the Maritimes one hundred and twen- ty two carloads of 'vegetables and foodstuffs and also 729 bales of cloth-

, Before closing Rev. Mr. Vowles

spoke on behalf of the Presbytery thanking Dr. Bryce and placed before the people their individual responsi- bility.

This organi- zation will meet the last week of November at Toronto and round out the preliminary constitution.

In conclusion, we submit that the Association has already justified its existence and with the^eo-operation of the. producers that H is designed to assist^ in.the coming year^ it may pro- ceed to deal with th© several projolems that confront the cheese branch of the industry, gueh as:

1. The re-brganization of the pr3- sont cheese Boards -with the view of stimulating .competitive buying -

2. To devoloop an.d increase the domestic maifket :Qor cheese.

3. To consider the advisability-, o? the, Provincial organization establish- ing; selling or other commercial organi- zations to undertake domostic mar- keting.

4. To consider the question of cen- tral grading and -weighing stations in different districts with the view’ of having ch(?lse graded and weighed ho- fere being offered for sale and sell the cheese on grade instead of by factories.

5. To 'consider the desirability o.f maintaining a repreisentative in the British market for the general purpo’j.^ of promoting a better demand, a: higher prices, for our export cheese through advertising, ©tc.

6. To work out some scheme fo: tho financing of the brganization. It is believed that a Producers organiza- tion should be self sustaining and it ’s estimated th%t five cents per 1000 ^Ibs. would provide the necessary funds to make it so. ^

The total receipts of the organlzu- tion amount to $388.17 and the expen- ses $175.55 which leaves a balance of $212.62 in the Bank. Thii balance will be reduced by the expenses of iin>s annual meeting.

All of which is submitted On behalf of the Directors and Office-.'s.

do mor© than that—wé congratulât© hini on being able to wfitq at all at hig age, especially as he has been‘suf- fering from rheumatism. This is what he says in hig lett©r:—

“Three years ago I wag-in bed for six weeks with inflammatory rheuma- tism. Sine© that time I have be^n tak- ing Kruschen Salts, and have not had another attack. But my hands arc- stiil somd^hat stiff. I take Kruschen. eviery morning before breakfast, and shall continue to do so, because I am si»© it has kept me in good shape for three years. Excuse this writing, as I am ninety years old, and use both hands to write.”—J* E. G.

Kruschen dissolves away those needle-pointed crystals^ uric acid which are the cause -of all rheumatic troubles. It will also flush these dis- solved crystals clean out of the sys- tem. Then if yon keep up “the little daily dose,” excess uric acid will never form again.

October Session S. D. & G. Counties’ Councii

(Conclusion) /

ROADS REPORT Th-e report of the roads and bridges

committee/as submitted by G. L. Me- IntoshJ^' Roxborough, chairman, fol- lows:

The roads and bridges committee recommended in its report that author- ity be given to the county road super intendent to deal with all requests of the ' Bell Telephone Co., in connection with construction or relocation of poles • or lines along the eouiily road system. Two requests already be- fore council, in connection VHh rec n-, struction o* f ' lines in the viciiiity of Mountain and Maxville wero re- ferred to \ the superintendent.

The committee decided to take no action in urnneetion with claims for

.damages, <^^uo to accidents on the couu roiad system, as these had alreadv

been referred to the insurance com- pany, The following claims were re- ceived: Hugh Robillard, Avonmore. $7.55; Emile Hebert, C^y.-bra, $P.50; Alcide Aubin and M Boisvenue,

.Moose Creek, $3,000; W. Fulton, Rus- sell, $2.50; .-Ewen McMillan^ Avonmor?, $23.70; Basils I^vere, Spencerville, $2i75; R. W. ^c6tt Richmond Hill, $193.45; J. O. Ro^on Ottawa $15.78: Rev. G. N.\Maxwell, Finch $5.00.

SATISFACTORY BASE ^ The report said: ^‘The Warden gave

a straightforward and comprehensive repoft of the activities of the ad- ■visory roads comimittee sinice their appointment. He explained in full how the cobblestone base ,was laid in the new roads^ constructed throughout the year; and reported that the assistant chief engineer of municipal roads, Tor- onto accompanied the committee on their last inspection tour and the chief engineer commented very favorably ou the construction- work under way. The chief engineer also' inspected very closelyJhe base now b.eing laid on the Ridge Road and found this typ© of werk very satisfactory. The Warden .spoke in glowing terms of the fine co- operation which existed between all the employees on the county road system and expressed his appreciation of the effeciency of the county road superin- tendent.^’

The Toads committee went on record as appreciating the service of the ad- visotty commitee and congratulated each member as'well as the county road superintendent, on the report submit- ted,

MEMORIAL PASSED After considerable /discussion^ the

committee recommended that the fol- lowing memorial be forwarded to the Hon. Leopold Macaulay\ for his at- tention and co-operation.

*^That whereas in October 1932, a sfronÿly worded memorial was for- w'arded to. the HonJ Leopold Macau- lay, requesting that no construction of King’s Highways* in these coun- ties be done until the same was asked for by this council, and ' •

^'Whereas the reason given for this request was the inability of the tax- payers to bear the .burden of further taxation, and / •/‘Whereas this matter was again

called to the attention of the minister by means of a memorial forwarded at the close of i the January session ,ot this year, and backed up by persc^nal representations made to the minister, by a delegation from this council, and

“Whereas, notwithstanding all this construction, on King’s Highway in these counties has been proceeded with and

.“Whereas, in Jun© of this year, this council protested against such con- struction unless on a basis of 100 percent, of the cost being borne by the go vemment,. and

“Wh-ereas it appears to be the tention of the government to charge 20 percent of the cost of said con- struction to these counties, and

‘Whereas th© ability of the tax- payers to bear the burden of taxa- tion is growing steadily Ic^ss, instead of imjffoving, and

“"V^hereas, the council of these coun-’ ties hag cut out practically all con- struction of county highways and is endeavoring to curtail expenditures iu every department of county adminis- tration in order, insofar as is possible,, tc ^keep down taxation, and

“WJiercas th© councils of local muni- cipalities comprising these counties Sre doing the same likewise,

‘“Be it therefore resolved that this council protest most vigorously against the payment of any portion of the coct of such construction. , “And bo it further resolved that k copy of this memorial be sent to the Minister of Public Highways, and to each of the local members of the Ontario Legislature for their atten- tion and co-operation.’’

OTHER REPORTS Other committee reports passed Fri-

day afternoon were as follows: The resolutions and memorials com-

mittee recommended that a memoria’ passed by Renfrew county, petitioning

the Department of Education to relieve counties of the, cost of secondary edu- cation and reverting back to the fee system, be uot eoncurred in, and that the committBo reaffiryi its stand that secôndary c-du'-alion should be free to ell

The committee concurred with a memorial from the council of Dufferin county, in which it was asked that the rate of interest be reduced from 5H to 5 pe| cent, under the Agricultuifal De velopment Board,' and further recom- mend that the rate be reduced to 4% per cent.

A memorial passed by the council of Renfrew, pertitioning Hon. Dr. Robb, Minister of Health, Toronto, wherebv indigents could be admitted to hospi- tals without first obtaining the con sent of the head of the municipality, and further, that the per diem cost of' indigents admitted to hospitals, be fe- duced 25 per cent, was considered. The committee recommended that this memorial be filed . and that the per diem cost of indigents in hospitals be reconsidered by council in January, 1934. The repo|:t was submitted by J. R. MacLachlan, of Lancaster, chairman.

AGRICULTURE The agriculture comiiiittee reported

of a fetter from Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture, Toronto, stat- ing that ho would be pleased to discuss the grading of chéese with.any mem- ber of council any time they wer© in Toronto, .4nd the clerk was instructed to write Hon. Mr. Kennedy thanking him for his invitation and interest he is taking in this matter.

JThe committee recommended that the request of Gilbert Bancier, dairy instruct-or, for use of the Court Room in the falLof 1934 for the holding of a cheesemakers ’ convention,, *be ^rant ed, Mr. Bander to arrange with the clerk as to the time required. \

Consddjbrable discussion J^ooik place regarding the formation of a cheese factory ■ patrou’s organization within the counties anj the committee recom mended that a copy of the < following memorial be forwarded to the Honor- able the Minister of Agriculture for his attention;

Moved by E, A, Van Allen, secqnd e-d by R. A. Cook and resolved.

‘ ‘ That whereas our attention has been directed to the sympathetic in terest of the Honorably the Minister of Agriculture for the Province of On- tcrio and the offidals of his depart- ment in the aims and objects of the Ontario Cheese Factory Patrons’'As sociation, and

“Whereas, the Eastern counties of the province are largely dependent upon the cheese branch of the dairy industry, a -branch that has »not paid the producers a sufficient'return dur- ing the past few years.

“Be it therefore resolved, that this council desires to express its sincere appreciation of the sympathetic sup- port of the Honourable Minister and hiti department in this branch of the industry that means so much to the ratepayers of these united counties, and that a dopy of this resolution bo forwarded t© the Minister of Agrieui- ture. Carried.’’

A vote of thanks was tei:dered Aich’d J. Macdonald, of North Lan- c.^ster, for the vimely suggestions ho had given the committee ^on tho Cheesce Factory Patrons* Association question when he' addressed tho com- mittee.

The report was submitted by the chairman, J. E. Crowder, ' reeve of Mountain township.

SATURDAY’S SESSION The final meeting of the October

session held Saturday morning was brief. Reports of committee, passing tb^ bylaws and carrying'of one or two resolutions comprised the routine busi- ness on th^ agenda.

A resolution was passed, expressing the sympathy of council to J. H. Ross. rc-ev« of Winchester, whose wife is ill in hospital. In putting the motion tc Council Warden Nesbitt added a few words of personal sympathy,

B. A. Cook reeve of Osnabr\iek, chairman of the public welfare cbm- mittee, submitted the, following brwf report:.

“W:e recommend that council mem orialize the minister of Public Welfare strongly urging that in the case of ap- plications for Old Age Pension, the Pension Injector be required to confer- with the head of the municipality in \rhich the applicant resides, also with the Local Old Age Pension authority.”

Ineorpofated in the finance report was the treasurer’s financial state- ment, as follows:

Prove Human Occupancy of America in Ice Age

An abundance of human artifacts, the earliest of which appear to date from shortly after the close of the last Ice age—thus perhaps constituting some of the earliest evidence of the existence of man in the western hemi- sphere—have been secured by the Smithsonian institution from excava- tions of Signal Butte in western Ne- braska.

Excavations on the top of this iso- lated, earth-capped mesa, famous as a signaling station in the Indian war- fare days, showed three distinct-' lay- ers of human occupancy. All were prehistoric, although artifacts in the uppermost layer were similar to those of the old Pawnee-Arikura Indian cul- ture of the ayea which, farther to the east, persisted into historic times.

Greatest interest attaches to the bot- tom layer, which rested on what ap- pear to be water-carried deposits which would seem to date from about the time of the Recession of the Wis- consin drift, the last of the great gla- cial invasions of the area of the Unit- ed States.

Another Frog Mystery for Those Interested

When laborérs on a South African road gang were repairing the Ven- tersdorp-Koster road, they needed some stones and started to break up a huge boulder about fifteen feet in diameter. /

It w’as a solid stone, and it took them, with the aid of dynamite, nearly an hour to break it.

When the stone was broken up in- sid^ it was found a cavity about six inches long and four Inches wide full of water, and in it were two small frogs, blind but alive.

No openings of any kind were seen on the boulder, and there is no water in the vicinity. How the frogs came to be there and how the water was found Inside the stone is a mystery which set all the camp talking.

Historic London Spot Covént garden is a site in London,

north of the Strand, occupied by the principal flower, fruit and vegetable garden market in the British metropo- lis. It was originally called “Convent Garden” and belonged to the abbey of St. Peter, Westminster. In the first half of the Seventeenth century'^the garden was laid out as a sqhare by Inigo Jones, with a piazza on two sides. The garden Is mentioned in Restoration plays, as a fashionable re- sort. Tho first stalls and sheds were set up there about 1656. Covent Gar- den theater (1858) is the chief seat, of grand opera in London. The site has carried' a theater since 1733, but earlier buildings were burned in 1809 and 1856.—Kansas City Times.

Free Public Schools The idea of a free public school

maintained entirely at municipal or state expense and altogether under state and secular control is a modern development which was not realized until the Nineteenth century. A sys- tem to be truly democratic must have certain charactéristics, and It may fairly be claimed that the American public school system has now reached the stage where all of the ends have been attained. In Germany, France, and until recently, in England, public education has r*not been, and is not even now, generally free, since though most of the expenses have been met from public or Institutional sources, each pupil, unless he is a pauper, has had to pay school fees.

Childhood’s Memories A London paper has been asking its

readers^ to recall their very earliest memories. The earliest received was of an occurrence when the narrator was eighteen months old. This is the story : “I can distinctly remember my father carrying me at the age of eighteen months to a confectioner’s, where € tasted marshmallows. I can remember about the same time my mother reproving my brother and me very severely for b^ing so rude as to say ‘Shut up I(, Another memory is even more clear. About three months before my second birthday I fell and gashed my chin on a tin can. I can still'see the fur rug on which I tripped rising up to meet me as I fell.”

Busy Number

I suppose it is not irreverent to say that practically all candidates receive some help in preparing their public documents. In the case of a certain mayor of New York of several years ago it was necessary not only to write •the speech but to spell - the longer words phonetically so that he could pronounce them. He was so depend- ent upon these prepared’ scrips that on one occasion at a patriotic ban- quet he astonished all listeners by declaiming, “What we need is more of the spirit of one-seven-seven-six.” —New York World-Telegram.

Early American History

The first fur-trading company on the American continent was established by de Monts, shortly after his arrival at Port Royal, Canada, and the first road built, from Digby gut to Port Royal by Champlain, who also established the first shipyard in North America, and the vessels he launched from it were the first built in the New world. The first dykes were built by Lefuis Her- bert—the first farmer, as well as the first apothecary and a tablet to his memory was unveiled at Port Royal by a direct descendant of his in 1930. The first limekiln was constructed in 1606 and that year also marked the erection of the first smith’s forge, and the manufacture of charcoal for its use.

Tapestry 'Composition

Tapestries are made by interweav- ing variously colored woof threads with undyed warp threads, after a warp thread has been stretched on a loom, either vertically or horizontally. This Interweaving is done with an imple- ment called a broche in French, which is neither a shuttle nor a bobbin, but partaking of the character of both, and for which there is no équivalait word In English. The picture repre- sented is developed upon the warp by the different colors of the woof threads. Needles are never used in weaving tapestries. In the process of weaving the woof becomes practi- cally an integral part of the completed structure.

Diversified Interests Congressman “Gussle” <3ardner of

Massachusetts used to tell of an an- cient mariner who, in his boyhood, would fgseinate him with stories of the sea. A favorite story was about the capture of one of the East India merchantmen owned by Gussie’s saint- ed great-grandfather .by a pirate ship. Once the boy inquired how much his great-grandfather had lost through the capture.

“I don’t know, Gussie,” the mari- ner ]^eplied. “I never could find out just how big an interest your great- grandfather had in the pirate vesseL” —Kansas CSty Times.

Theory Given Up

The idea of the existence of a con- tinent of Lemuria is no longer accept- ed. The name was given by Haeckel to a vast area assumed to exist in past ages and Including the present Africa. Indian ocean and Malayan archipel- ago. The belief was based on the hypothesis that the existence of such a continent was necessary to explain the peculiar present distribution of the lemurs. However, the discovery of the remains of lemurs in America and Africa rendered such an hypothe- sis untenable.

More Cows

James was visiting in the country. One evening after dark he went with the farmer to milk the cows. He was permitted to carry the lantern.

“My grandpa ha^ a lantern,” he remarked, “but it’s lots bigger than yours.”

Then as an afterthought he added: “Of course he has lots more cow» than you have.” i

A Newspaper Advertisement Tliotcost $300

A country merchant was rather skeptical as to the value

of advertising in a weekly newspaper. He was willing to pay

the price to find out, and this piece of curiosity cost him $500.

Bruce Brewer, vice-president of the Ferry-Hanly Advertising Company, is authority for the following test of the value of advertising made by a country, merchant who thought no one read his ads.

To convince him the editor suggested writing an ad with a* lot of copy in it, such as the merchant believed “nobody read,’’ “and somewhere, buried in the copy, offer a dollar bill to every one who reads the ad and brings it to your store. If you do that, I will nm the ad free, just to prove folks do read advertise- r.ients.”'

In spite of the warning of the edittor that it would cost money the merchant accepted the challenge.

The ad contained so many words that it had to be set in type even smaller than that of the regular reading matter, but, buried away down in it was this offer. “To every one who brings in this ad we will give a one dollar bill.” That was all that was said about the dollar.

The newspaper had not been out an hour before the store was full of people waving copies of the ad. The experiment cost that merchant nearly $500, but it proved to him, as nothing else ever had, that subscribers to the loc^l weekly read it from end to end and everything in ft.—California Publisher.

SEVENTEENTH INSTALMENT SYNOPSIS: Euth Warren, born anl

raised in an Eastern city, is willed three-fourth interest in the Dead Lan- tern ranch in Arizona. With her youth, ful husband, who is in poor he»alth, and their small son, David, they come to Arizona to take up where Euth^s brother, reported killed in Mexico^ had left off. They reach Dead Lantern, 85 miles from the nearest railroad, with the help of Old Charley “tihane, neigh- boring rancher who- also carries the rural mail. At the ranch they find the partner, Snavely, (and a huge woman, Ii'dian Antfj* who greet them suspici- ously. As they trudge the 5 miles from ranch gate to the house they pass a huge reek in a gulch where a voice whifi^rs, ‘^Go back.’^ Euth’s husband caught ,in lai rain shortly after their arrival contracts pneumonia and passes a^way before medical aid oan be brought. Euth, penniless and without friends attempts to carry on but is balked at almost every turn by the crafty land plotting Snavely. Despite obstacles of all kind Euth gives notes on her ranch interest to purchase cat- tle. She is assisted by Old Charle;^ Thane (and his son, Will Th'ane. A Mexican family has been hired | to assist with the work, A peculiar sick- ness develops with the livestock. Snavely calls it ** liver fever. . tend says he has a powder for the water to cure the disease. Euth whcle future is at stake on the development of tho herd to meet her notes following* the first ■ round-up. ^

NOW GO ON WITH THE STOET

to the kitchen. Suddenly Euth knew that it was morning—the long-awaited mo/ning when the round-up was to be gin. As she rose and struggled into her riding clothes, , the great weight of an- xiety which had lifted during her sleep settled back upon her. The round-up— would there be enough cattle?

In tbe two months since she had ac ■cidentally placed poison in the spring troughs no new hairm had come to the cattle—but, were they o-nough to meet her note? Her desire to find the an swer té this question increased with each day, but she could not estimate the number of saleable animals scatter- ed over the ranch; she could not give ar intelligent guess about weights and-quality and. price. She only knew that she had lost more than a tenth of the value of her note.

Then^ too, if her deal with Parker was to, do the ranch any good, only the poorest of the cattle could be sold— only the steers and the old cows. The rest of the stock and the fine bulls must remain for thb improvement of the ranch. Euth could not see much ad vantage in selling all the cattle to keep the man Witherspoon from fore- closing on the note—what good was there of three-quarters’ interest in a' cattle ranch with no cattle or with a ranch which only brought in fifteen hundred dollars a year? .

She left David sleeping and went into the dining' room. She and Snave- ly breakfasted silently by lamplight, then went to the corrals.

It was just light enough the cor- rals to -^distinguish one horse from an.^ other. The six Mexican cowboys were

had no very clear idéa, but she could see that the other riders were converg ing towar,j a common point and gov- erned herself accordingly. This point proved to be a jlevel piece of ground about half a mile from the eastern cod of tho pasture.

The nine small streams of cattte merged, flowed on and wore thrown into an eddying pool by the' citcling riders. Two of the men left at once, loping to a ravine where mesquite was plentiful. When they returned drag^ ging firewood at the end of their riar las, the cattle were in a eloisepacked bunch, and the remaining riders sat their horses at, intervals around the circl-e. Snavely,, Alfredo, Don Praneis- eo and one of the extra Mexicans dis mounted, kicked off their chaps, and building a fire, laid on the branding irons; Euth' and the three Mexicans keeping the herd together, nieanwhile.,

Whén tho irons were hot Snavely motioned to the grizzled old Juan^ who left Euth’s side, of the herd and ad- vanced into the center of the milling cattle, swinging his riata.

Euth had her hands full. With only three i^iders to keep the herd in place many of the cattle decided to break away. Every ten seconds, it seemed to Euth, some animal on her side of the ;erd would bolt. She had abandoned

old Brisket for such active riding in favor of Boots, a springy young horse with an alert mind and a. thorougl knowledge of the cow business. He en- joyed funning after the 'animals that broke from the herd— Ruth rather suspected him of eggiUg them on.

three hours it can be wearing. When all .the calves had been brand-

ed the herd was driven to tbe holding pasture a small enclosure of one thou- sand acres. As the cattle passol

through the gate the counting began; one ma(n counted eal^v^s; another, yearlings; another, grown steers, and a fourth, cows.

The count was over and the riders were returning to fk© home ranch when Euth rode up beside Snavely. "Well, how does it look?”

"How does what look?” replied Snavely. "I mean—do you think we’r^ going to

have enough? Weren’t there a good many calves and young steers in that bunch?”

"Can’t tell nothin’ yet,” said Snavely gruffly. "I don’t know if you’re goin’ to have enough or not. As a guess I’d say you kin’t.”

' ' I have it all figured out just how many we-*-”

"You figgered, I reckon, that a quarter of ' the sale don’t apply on that fool note, didn’t you?”

Ruth drew herself straight in the saddle. "Certainly, Mr, Snavely!”

She reined in her horse and dropped back between Alfredo and old Don Francisco. The Mexicans pulled their horses aside to make room and with many smiles and chuckles began talk ing to her. They loved to hear her bro- ken Spanish. By the time the com- pany reached the saddle shed, Rufh had learned that Don Francisco ' con- sidered the cattle large and fat the cal'ves plentiful. He also succeeded in conveying to her the results of the count.

That evening Euth studied these fi- gures in connection with others she had. gathered in her conversation with Old Charley and her studies of the cat- tle raisers’ magazine. But she went to sleep as undecked as ever. The round- up would take four days and if en each of these days the count ran as high. on the first, and if on one of those days about onfe hundred extra animals should appear, Ruth knew that she could meet her note. Provid ed, of course, that Old Charley Jiad guessed shrewdly about the prices the cattle buyers would »be paying. . . .

Ruth never knew how she got through tke fourth and last day of the round-up. Twice after the cattle had been gathered and the branding begun, she left the herd and rode into the foothills. But neither time did she see a single overlooked cow or calf.

:She stood biting her lower lip and pulling at her saddle strings as the counting began. There.simply must be more than ohe hundred and twenty head, she kept telling herself—there just had to be! /

As the last of he^ cattle passed through the gate the ebunters drew together and Euth rode up. She listen- ed as loaeh man gave his count to Snavely and wrote the figures in her notebook with trembling fingers: 32„ 15, 44! Twice she added-the column be- foré she was sure that the total was- 151. Then with a slap she whirled her horsi© and galloi>ed toward the ranch house. Her cheeks were wet and she sang a throaty chant to the pounding hoofs: "I’ve won! I’ve won! I’ve won! ”

Thàt evening affer supper while David and Ann were making the chickens secure against skunks and coyotes, Ruth put on a gown she had not worn for more than a year, and did. her hair 'three times.

Wh-en David came in he asked, "Why are you dressed up so beautiful, Mama?”

■'Oh, just because.” Euth did not ou'-te know, herself: but she was con- vinced it was +he thing to do. "I think we ought to celebrate once in awhile, don’t you, David?” ■ I

'‘Like, a party?’ ’ "Rather, yes.” "Mama! Lot’s go- down to the barn

—they’ve got u fire there and Al- fredo’s playing music. Shall we? Come on!”

Euth grasped the boy’s arm and led Hm guiltily out of house by way of the back porch. Snavely was in the sitting room.

The Mexicans sat around their ^fire, talking laughing and singing, as' the mood and the ever-active strings of Al- fredo’s guitar persuaded them. When they saw Euth, wonder shone from their faces, ■ then admiration and plea- sure. They all sprang to their feet, but Eon Francisco was first.

Ruth smiled, went to the fire and spread her hand's. "It is cold',” she said in matter of-faet Spanish. Imme- diately Francisco bowed her welcome and "hurried., to* the barn for one of his rawhide chairs. But when he returned Euth had seated herself on the ground next to Magda. She was not ,going t • be the only one of the group who sat On a chair, gown or no gown.

Gradually, it became apparent to the Mexicans that Senora Ruth and her son had merely come to the fire for warmth and company. Delightedly, they assured each other of this by

smiles and nods. Little Magda sat do ser to Euth, and made her own import- ance felt among her companions by speaking exclusively in English, there- after.

Suddenly Ruth had an ins'piration, and "with many pauses and appeals to Magda for the right word she made a speech: "My friends. We have worked and gathered many cattle. The round-up lias been good. I think we will have a celebration—una fiesta grande. Some of you have friends in Palo Verde — bring them and the mothers and child- ren. On Saturday we will cook a cow.”

Vagaries of Spiders Spiders are cannibals. Members of

some species often associate with members of other species, all living together without animosity, appajrent- ly, when there is sufficient food for all. Members of other species are in- tolerent of strangers. Some webs are suited to snare very small and deli- cate insects that breed in water close to the spiders’ dwelling place. Not far from these webs may be seen stout webs that hold heavy insects. Some hunting spiders live in flowers and catch flying insects that sip the flow- ers’ nectar. Other spiders live all their lives under stones, and feed al- most exclusively on creatures- that crawl. They shun moths and butter- flies and other insects that flap theP* wings. .

Unique Work of Art The little Italian town of Pistoja

can pride Itself on the by no means insignificant contribution to the en- gineering eminence of 'the country, and may take some glory for adding the word “pistol” to the English dic- tionaries, but its fine and notable an- cient buildings are its chief glory, whether secular or ecclesiastical. In any other country town they would be naturally famous but in Italy where so many small towns are similarly glorious, they do not as greatly Im- press. The visitor should especially seek out the magnificent frieze of the Ospeda^e del Ceppo, execute<l by Giovanni della Uobbia, representing the Seven Works of Mercy, for this work of art is unique.

Church Tokens in Use in Canada’s Early Days

Church tokens were coin-like metal pieces of various i^iapes, round, ob- long, oval, square, or six or eight sid ed, used long ago In Canadian Pres byterian churches as tickets of admit- tance' to the Lord!s Supper. Some were crude products of a blacksmith’s shop, or, simpler still, the work of some pioneer minister, who, rather than depart from any of the clmrished customs of his people, would cut them roughly from a piece of tin or what- ever metal was nearest to his hand. Others were as beautifully made as any of- our modern coins, bearing the name of the church for wliich they were made, the date of its erection, and frequently a text. Such as, “Do this in remembrance of Me,” or “Let a man examine himself.”

In some of the old Scqttish churches Communion was celebrated only once or twice a year, and then it was an 'outstanding occasion. As early as Wednesday the devout would begin' to arrive from a distance, often having, made the journey on foot. Thursday was a “fast” day when everyone went

,to church, and when the minister ex- horted his congregation to confess their sins humbly to God, and to plead for His forgiveness that they might be cleansed and be found worthy to ap- proach > the Table.-^Montreal Family Herald.

Albatross Believed to Rest on Ocean’s Surface

The general belief that the albatross Is able to fly day and night without rest is disputed by many scientists. The belief greiv up apparently be- cause the birds will follow a ship as long as daylight lasts and with the coming of dawn they are still to be found hovering around w’alting for any refuse which may be thrown over- board. The impression is therefore natural that the birds have followed the ship during the night, but this is now held unlikely. The birds are be- lieved to rest oil the surface of the water during the night and to arise with the first faint touch of. dawn and then fly on to overtake the ship.

« The birds- feed almost exclusively upon refuse floating on the surface of the water.

The largest type of albatross is the w’andering albatross, sometimes calltMl the Cape Sheep, which Is the large.si known water bird, having a wing spread of 14 feet.

Ctastles of Normandy Less than half a century after the

battle of Hastings, Normandy was the center of a vast Anglo-Àngevin king- dom, which stretched from Scotland to the Pyrenees. Those were the days when men felt more secure in- side castlé walls than around confer- ence'peace tables, and great forts were built everywhere, to which the modern tourist makes trails today. William the Conquerer built and forti- fied the chateau at Caen, another was the fortress at Dieppe, w’hile close by can be seen the crumbling remains 6f the romantic castle of Arques. Other castles are to be found, as those of Gisons, Gaillard, built by Richard the Lion-Hearted, till finally the massive Abbey Port of Mount Saint Michael on the sea coast completes the pic- ture.

Hinls For Muoicipalilies Perhaps no person in Ontario is

better qualified to speak with author- ity in regard to the problems which face the municipalities of the pro- vince at the present time than Thomas Bradshaw, of Toronto, whose services have been comman- deered to re organize various muni- cipalities which were in pronounced diificulties and who has succeeded in introducing reforms which have been of appreciable advantage to the ratepayers affected.

A business man of long experi- ence and particularly adept in deal- ing with financial problems associat- ed with municipalities and business concerns, Mr- Bradshaw was induc- ed to make the following recommen- dations in regard to municipal ad- ministration when he spoke at a recent meeting of the Ontario Municipal Association, stating that he believed the.-n worthy of both consideration and application as a means of maintaining municipal record and credit :

1. Increase in municipal debt must be halted ; that now existing can and should be decreased-

2. Assessment, the basis of the whole municipal structure, must be sound and almost 100 per cent rev- enue producing- Provision should be made in the budget for non- collectable taxes. Properties of delinquent taxpayers should be eli- minated yearly ana the roll freed from dead assessment- ^

3. The budget should be com- pleted by January 31 in each year-

. 4. Expenditures for the year should not exceed cash receipts Tor the year. There should be no debit bank balance at the end cf the year.

5- The first-insralment of raxes in the year in which they fall due- The accumulation of large arrears undermines the municipality’s credit and is often the indication of approa- ching financial difficulties.

6- Bank borrowings and bank interest should be kept down to a minimum. Bank loans should be necessary only in the 'first three or four months of the year, pending receipt of the first instalment of taxes. ' 7. (Current deficits should never be funded- If such a rare condition should arise, the deficit should be levied for in the Succeeding year.

American Lakes

Lakes In Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Maine, Indiana and New York were wholly or partially covered by the great ice sheet of ' the Glacial age, and are studded with small lakes. Minnesota has the largest number among these, with approximately 10,- 000 lakes. Michigan has about 5,200; Wisconsin has more than 2,1500; New York has about as many; Maine has some 1,600. Illinois and Indiana have several hundred each. Florida, due to its peculiar geological structure, has upward of 30,000 tiny lakes, the largest number of any state. Most, of these are in the central part of Florida, and are caused by sinkholes or depressions in the limestone whi«h underlies this whole region.

Conversation

I conceive that speaking generally, conversation ought to consist more frequently of ordinary and gallant things, than of great things, but I also think that there is nothing that may not enter it, and it ought to be free and diversified according to the time and place and persons about us ; I think that the'secret is to speak nobly of low things, simply of'high things, and very courteously of ^ courteous things, without too much forwardness and without affection.—Mademoisellte de Scudery.

Dangerou.s “Animal”

A first-grade teacher was telling the children about different wild animals and in order to test the knowledge they Tad gained she asked :

“Now, who can tell me the name of an animal that has horns and is very dangerous for us to get near?”

Before she could call on any par- ticular one, little Bobby piped out en- thusiastically : .

“I know. Miss — ; it’s a truck!”

Water From Air

8. Relief debentures, if justified, should not be for more than five years, and for only 25 per cent to 50 per cent of the net cost of the year’s relief.

9. Educational costs must be reduced—and they can be.

10. Local improvment debt should be incurred only when absolutely essential aTd well within the bene- fltted ratepayers’ ability to pay, as well as that of the general ratepayer.

11. Public Utilities operations should yield a profit after all operat- ing charges, depreciation, interest and principal. '

12. Guarantee of bonds should not be -countenanced. Subsidized bonds are not a sound method cf financing.

13. Capital debt should be incur- red only when a corresponding use- ful and necessary capital asset is acquired.

14. The in.stalment method of issuing bonds is the only safe and sane way of issuing debentures for municipal purposes.

15. If bonds are issued by the Sinking Fund method the annual levy must be made, turned over to the fund, invested immediately and in only the highest grade of securi- ties.

16. Adequacy of the sinking fund should be tested annually and certified to by the auditors.

17. Municipal debentures should be payable in Canada only. It is doubtful if the added marketability in making payment in United States or Great Britain is compensation for the risks of exchange.

18. Municipalities must adhere to the terms of the debenture con- tract. Technical equivocation must be avoided.

19. Municipal accounting should be efficient and in capable hands. There should be a continuous month- ly audit-—The Perth Courier. 0

How Scotcli is Aberdeen ? By Sydney A. Clarke

7 ' By à new method drinking water is

collected from the air in southern France. A large, round pillar with a thick outer casing of cement is erected. The water Is produced’ by the difference between day and night temperature forcing the air down pipes in the pillar, where it^condenscs and falls into a reservoir.

Brave New World

To furnish an example of the kind of warfare then carried on, it may be related that in 1527 the Spaniard Cristobal Jacques, who had been in the service of the king of Portugal 11 years, guarding, the coast of Brazil, found at Sao Salvador de Bahia the crews of two French ships engaged in lo'ading Brazil wood. "Attacking them by surprise, he sank the vessels, hanged some of the sailors, and buried others up to their shoulders, leaving their heads as targets for his marks- men.—Spencer Vampre in the Bulle- tin of the Pan American Union.

Not one whit Scotcher in the popular connotation of the word than any other city on the globe. That at least was my impression gained on a recent stay there. I noticed an incident on . an excursion steamer that refuted the usually accepted characterization. A little machipe was attracting great crowds of children. The ,game was to drop a penny in thé slot, which then caused three wheels to revol- ve at different speeds. The player then pressed down a lever, trying to stop the three wheels on one of several combina- tions. If successful the playei* won a handful of big British coppers. If not, the penny was irretrievably lost.

Of coure the children mostly lost their pennies and there were doleful expressions on many a young face. Noticing this a huge Scotsman with a loud-ckecked suit, a boiled-beef face and a good rich burr, approached with an air that boded the machine no good. He inserted penny after peiVny and at last he won. Some- thing like a double handful of coppers rolled into his great hairy paws. He turned and surveyed the children with an expression that was anything but “Scotch /

“How msny of you bairrns yut your big penny in that infurrnal thing?” he asked.

Nearly every hand flew up and there- upon with a fine, rough grace and many a humorous comment he dealt out his pennies to all that clustering flock. Even the children who had not lost received a penny just the same. It was a delightful and heart-warming spectacle which I shall never forget.

Aberdeen is a city of granite and a city offish, Its granite construction is im pressive in the extreme. The brick and dingy plaster of many British cities gives way to clean white granite, which is as nearly impervious to smoke and grime as any material can be. Marischal College, the fine municipal buildings, tne cathe- drals old and new, and nineteen out ot every twenty dwellings and commercial buildings are of this noble material, a quarter of a million tons • of which are quarried each year in .Aberdeenshire.

In normal times a hundred Aberdonian firms are engaged in the business of po- lishing granite, an arl; which had been lost since the Pharaohs’ time until in 1818 Alexander Macdonald of Aberdeen redis- covered it. Through this interesting Macdonald establishment I wandered one day to the sound of steel ^ drills 'and the whir of many rotary polishers. It is very much a going concern after 115 years.

Fish is even more a giant industry, at least 400 tons of it are landed every morn- ing in the year, which means (if we ex- clude Sundays as the Aberdonians most rigorously do) 126,000 tons a year, or a quarter of a billion pounds. The finny creatures are of the most astonishing variety and I would need the pen of Ibanez (as in “Mare Nostrum”) to do them justice. They fascinated me, each one from the Jumbo ^kate to the John Dory fish, the only one with a Christian name, but with very un-Christian habits, for he wears a pleasant fishy smile until his victim is near and then shoots his jaws out like a Jack-in-the-box, incloses his prey and—smiles once more.

The Angler Fish is a still greater vil- lain. He opens his immense jaws like the lid of a pirate’s sea chest, hangs a cheery lantern in front of the door and after a satisfactory number of herring have entered, thinking this u delightful club room of some sort, the wicked An- gler clamps to his massive jaws, which are armed with a double row of barbed teeth. ,

I was taking notes on the Conger Eel one morning as the guide reeled off a tale I found especially fascinating. It seems that the baby Congers from American and British waters meet in mid-ocean and fraternize until they are fully grown, whereupon each contingent returns to its own “native heath,” At a moment when my pencil,was particularly active and my intelligent expression was functioning nicely, my feet suddenly shot out from under me—just like that.

I was literally covered from head to foot with a fishy mess in which I had been standing. My notebook was as if eâch leaf had been carefully hand-dipped in the ichtheous fluid. My pencil was missing*

Time nealed the wounds, which were chiefly to my pride. Gasoline eventually removed the rich aroma from 'my cloth- ing. Even the pencil was salvaged and is, as a matter of fact, writing this very article..

Couniry Lile (Stratford Beacon-Herald)

A Resident of Stratford who has been out in the country for a week or so gave a few of his impressions on his return. We think they are well worth printing:

“I went back to what I still call home and stayed there a week. They are not so very busy ust at the mo-i ment. One day we were getting ready

I for a ploughing match which his going to be held in the' ditrict. Another day we went t-o- an auction sale a coup;o of concessions over. On Sunday wo went aUng with,*mo^b‘*r and father to church. I recall another evening when a couple of neighbours dropped in and we had a couple of gabies of euchre going out in the kitchen. Another cl&y I was taking a hand helping to uut down pork for the winter, and mak- ing sausage meat Avas the chore of that day. All the time out there one never cam© across a discordant note; things seemed to be just as whole- some and quiet as when I left the farm a good many years ago. I was glad I was there. It made me feel better. I wish we could have the same feeling in the city.
