Association\u2014 Macdonald College Graduate Another appointment to the field service of the extension department of the Holstein-Priesian Association has just been made in the engagement of L.J.Simard, of Laprairie.Que.Mr.Simard, who is a graduate of Macdonald College has for the past two years been doing live stock extension work for the Quebec Department of Agriculture, specializing in the promotion of interests devoted to the development and expansion of better methods in the breeding and feeding of dairy cattle.He, therefore, takes over his new position with qualifications in experience and training which fit him admirably for the work he will now have charge of in his native province.In making announcement of this the third appointment to the staff made in the past three weeks, R.B.Faith, director of extension for the Holstein-Friesian Association, says: \u201cWe have been particularly fortunate in being able to secure the services of Mr.Simard for our field work in Quebec, where the Holstein breed has been making marked progress in recent years and with every prospect of going ahead most rapidly in the fut- pre.Mr.Simard was chosen for the Waosition because he possesses those * 2 fall, \u201cMy Earliest Recollection.\u201d + fundamental essentials necessary for 2 fieldman to have in carrying on extension work successfully\u2014a thorough grasp of organization work, the ability to discuss breeding and feeding problems intelligently, a splendid connection with the various forces he must labor with, tact good judg- nient and a pleasing personality.Moreover, Mr.Simard is a real good judge of Holstein cattle, his services in this connection being constantly in demand.With Mr.Profitt working the Maritimes, Mr.Simard, Quebec and the French-speaking districts of Ontario and Harold Stevens in the West, the field force of the extension department is now in a position to render a nation-wide service to the Holstein breeders of Canada that ought to add immeasurably to their success in building up and advancing so prominent now in the eye and mind of the farmer.\u201d Howick Village The Howick Women's Institute met at the home of

to City Stores That Huntingdon County's new project has caught the attention of Montreal citizens is evidenced by a letter received this week by the Gleaner which takes pleasure in passing on to its readers certain suggestions put forward by the writer.\u201cThe announcement in Monday's fssue of The Montreal Daily Star,\u201d the letter reads, \u201cis of considerable interest to Montreal citizens who have long heen supplied from Hun- tingdon County with the finest dairy products that this province has been able to produce.\u201cUnfortunately citizens here have not been given sufficient opportunity to value the dairy products of Hun- tingdon county since these products have heretofore been sold on the general market without sufficient identifying mark such as a brand name.These products have therefore only brought prevailing market prices when often citizens would have been willing to pay more if they were sure the products were from the well- known Chateauguay Valley farms.\u201cI would like to put forth the suggestion at this time that the proposed Huntingdon factory attempt to produce the best possible dairy products and market these in colorful wrappers and containers with an alluring brand name which would serve to identify Huntingdon County dairy products to the consumer.\u201cThe value of such a procedure is more readily seen when the selling price of kinds and brands of butter is taken into account.For instance, I priced different butters in several chain stores of Montreal this week, the price range being all the way from 23 and 25 cents to 33 and 35 cents.\u201cThe butter that brought the higher price was that of such reputable firms as the Guarantee and the J.J.Joubert Companies.The butter of both these companies is enclosed in an attractive wrapper and further protected with a colorful pasteboard container for each pound.The Montreal citizen knows for certainty that when he purchases either of these butters, he is getting butter of unvarying high quality.\u201cOrdinary or standard butter will undoubtedly bring a disappointingly low price this summer.The wholesale price for butter on the Montreal market this week is approximately 20 cents a pound.It may go as low as 16 cents a pound if there is the customary heavy fiow of milk this sum- nier.\u201cButter at from 16 to 20 cents would, I presume, give the farmer a price of around 50 cents a hundred weight for his milk.This prospect is scarcely alluring to the farmer.\u201cMy suggestion is that the new factory at Huntingdon concentrate on producing a butter which would be equally as good as the product of the Guarantee or the Joubert Companies.\u201cHowever, to accomplish this wouid not be sufficient.It would be essential to catch the interest of the Montreal consumer through a judicious and forceful advertising campaign.\u201cThere is plenty of material available in the production of a high grade butter in Huntingdon County to catch the interest of the consumer.First of all there is the Historic district itself, then the high grade herds of the district, and the fact that the butter would be made from milk of tuberculin tested cows.\u201cEven this would not ensure a great success for the products of the new factory.There remains one great step which would catch the attention of the Montreal buyer.That is to ensure that he gets butter that is as fresh as it is humanly possible to provide him with.\u201cTo accomplish this last result it would be necessary not only to pack the butter in an attractive wrapper and alluring container but, as well, to place a simple sticker over each end of the box showing the date the butter was packed in the factory.\u201cThe Montreal public, properly acquainted with such a scheme, would flock to their grocery stores, demanding a butter which was dated, showing exactly how fresh it was.\u201cA motor truck leaving Huntingdon each day with the day's or the previous day's pack of butter could place the product quickly at all Montreal stores, particularly the chain stores, wishing to sell Huntingdon County butter.These stores would sell it if their customers asked for it.A proper campaign of publicity would arouse consumer interest.\u201cThere is, of course, the seeming object to the proposal that the factory, especially at first, would not be able to dispose of all its butter in such a way.What would it do with the rest?The logical answer is: place it on the general market to be sold at the prevailing whole sale price.\u201cThere is a crying need in Montreal for high class dairy products that are guaranteed fresh.The same truck that brings the butter to the stores each day could just as well bring eggs packed in dozen containers which would be sealed with the date attached.There is scarcely any limit to which a co-operative institution in Huntingdon might go if it conducted its sales policy along these lines.\u201d Fairy Chariot Hotel garage man (to fusser about midget car): \u201cAll right, sir, all right.I'll see that it's refilled and washed and polished and if you like I'll have it left outside your bedroom door with your boots in the morning.\u2019\u2014 Boston Transcript.HELD AT ROBSON Protest Filed Against the Granting of Tourist Licence in Hemmingford The annual convention of the Ormstown-Lacolle District Religious Education Association was held on Thursday, May 7th, at Knox Church, Robson St.Hemmingford.The church which has recently been redecorated presented a welcoming pleasing appearance to the many who attended both the afternoon and evening sessions.Delegates were present from Ormstown, Franklin Centre, Howick.Russeltown, Hemmingford Village and Lacolle.The opening session and President's address were given by Rev.J.G.Ful- cher, the President of the District.Basing his remarks on Isaiah 6th.he pointed out that courage for Sunday School work came from two things; first, a vision of the greatness of the God for whom we were working and second, a vision of the importance of the task we are seeking to do.He displayed a leaflet giving the opinions in regard to the value of the Sunday School, of more than one hundred leaders of the political and commercial life of England and the United States.Miss Janet M.Doxsey.Children\u2019s Division~ Superintendent of the Religious Education Council of the Province of Quebec then took charge for the remainder of the afternoon.First she emphasized the importance of storytelling as an educational method.It is as ancient as the race and prevails amongst all peoples.It is adapted to all ages and its value lies in presenting situations concretely, gaining the attention and interest of the scholars, and provoking a favourable reaction.She immediately illustrated the value of this method of teaching by telling to a class of children from the day school who were introduced just then a story of Old Testament history.The children showed by their interest and response to her questions that they had grasped the lesson the story conveyed.The remainder of the afternoon was given to a most interesting Round Table Conference in which several took an active part.Mrs.Stevenson of La- colle told of the work of the Home Department at Odeltown.Mrs, Blair of Franklin Centre explained the scheme of Temperance Lessons that the W.C.T.U.are promoting through the Sunday Schools, and other practical phases of the work were brought forward.At 5.30 the Convention adjourned to Knox Hall where the friends of the church had provided a bounteous supper and a social time was enjoyed ! by all.The committees appointed at the afternoon session met and prepared their reports for presentation to the evening session.Promptly at 745 the Convention reassembled in the church.Rev.Mr.Duncan gave an | inspiring address on Leadership.Led by the choir the congregation seemed to enjoy singing the hymns chosen.and the duet sung by Mrs.Harold and Mrs.Herbert MacNaughton, and the anthem by the choir were most helpful.Rev.Mr.Morrison gave a timely address for the evening session as he emphasized the importance of the home as a religious education agency.The Resolutions Committee presented their report: \u2014 \u201cWe, the Sunday School workers of the Ormstown-Lacolle District of the Religious Education Council of the Province of Quebec do place on record our regret that the Quebec Liquor Commission, in deflance of the by-law of the County of Hun- tingdon adopted by a majority vote of the electors, has forced a tourists\u2019 license for the sale of intoxicating liquor upon the Village of Hemming- ford.\u201cWe protest against this action of the Quebec Liquor Commission because it tends to nullify the work we as Sunday School teachers are seeking to do of building a moral sober nation, \u201cWe protest against it because it is a flagrant disregard of the civil liberties of the people by overriding \u2018the wishes of the County as expressed by their majority vote.\u201cThat a copy of this resolution and protest be sent to the Quebec Liquor Commission, the Premier of the Province and the Press.That we recommend that the present Ormstown-Lacolle District be divided into two districts; the Lacolle District to include Lacolle, Hem- mingford and Russelltown, and the Ormstown District to include the western end of the present District.\u201cThat the thanks of this Convention be cordially extended to the people of Knox Church for their generous hospitality, to the choir.to Miss Doxsey and all who have taken part in the program.\u201d All these resolutions were adopted unanimously.The nominating committee then made its report recommending that for the ensuing year Rev.Mr.Ful- cher be president, Mr.W.H.Van Vliet vice-president, and Mrs.Roy Dunn be secretary-treasurer.This also carried unanimously.The Convention was then brought to a close by a suitable address by Miss Doxsey on strengthening some of the weak places in the work of the Sunday School.Rev.Mr.Morrison, pronouncing the benediction brought to a close what all agreed was a most happy and helpful Convention.Franklin Centre having extended an invitation for the Convention to meet there next year all are looking forward to meeting there a year hence.For the Unemployed Mistress\u2014\u201cI don't like to have to keep complaining Mary, but I do wish you would realize that when master leaves his shoes outside the bedroom door it means that he wants them cleaned.\u201d Mald\u2014\"Oh, does it?And what does it mean when he leaves them outside the front door?\"\u2014Aberdeen Express, S.S.CONVENTION LOCAL FARMERS\u2019 CO-OPERATIVE ENTHUSIASTS OF ASSOCIATION BEING FORMED Report of One Hundred and Forty-two Farmers and Interested Men Attend Meeting on Thursday to Receive Committee Co-operative Fieldman Delongchamps Present Another Meeting to More Than 90 Signatures Have Already Been Secured\u2014 be Held Friday Night a Committee, and to obtain f tion with the Co-operative Mr.M.T.Robb presided.Mr.Boyd garage could be obtained at a their approval of the Pringle, Stark Co-operative Fieldman Present L.P.Delongchamps, fieldman of the Co-operative Fédérée was present and warmly congratulated the people on the large attendance at the meeting.Speaking for a while on the value of co-operation in all spheres of life, the speaker cited that it was due to co-operation the Postmaster- General was able to transport a letter from one end of the Dominion to the other for two cents.The real co-operator is the boss in his own society.In its early life the speaker admitted that the Co-opera- tive had difficulties as a result of political interference, but that the society was now entirely out of the hands of the government.The law used to allow that anyone could be a member of the Co-operative, but not now.Every member must be a producer.No votes by proxy are tolerated.Under the new law about 55 asso- clations have been organized.Every local society counts on the full help of the head society.It is they who sell the stuff which farmers send on consignment.The Association may also be used for the buying of fertilizers, etc.The im of the Co-oper- ative as pointed out by Mr.Delong- champs is not to make money, for they operate on the 1 which the government pays them on the business which they transact.This year's business will be in the proximity of 7 One hundred and forty-two farmers and people interested in their present circumstances as relates to sale of milk and milk products met injthe Court Room of the County Building on Thursday evening to receive a report from ther explanations in connec- sociation.[Austin Kelly gave the report of the.Committee on the sites visited and prices asked for same.The Clark ce of $3500.; the A.H.Dawson mill for $5500.; the National Machine Shap was not considered on account of being too low; Pringle and Stark's lot near Bouchette for $1000.; Frank Allard's lot near tracks for $1000.; Jas.Kelly's full lot for $1200.; and Wallace Warden's, for which no price had een secured.The Committee voiced Co., Kelly, and Allard lots.Much discussion ensued with the advantages, of having factory near the tracks to obtain switch accommodation pointed out by many of those present.This last year's report will show that this association received a higher price for cheese than any other company in the Dominion.The field- man mentioned that they were accorded a preference in the world markets from the fact that standards and methods of inspection were the same for every individual society.The speaker stated that their best customer was the Wholesale Co-operative of England.Mr.Delongchamps terminated by saying that the Co-operative Fédérée was \u201cthe watchdog of the interests of the farmers.\u201d Then were read copies of the declaration of incorpation and contract of sales and purchases with Mr.Gerard Tremblay, another of the Cooperative officials, giving the French versions.Mr.Delongchamps made it perfectly understood that the local board of officers control everything for its association.When questioned as to the fact if merchants, business or professional men could be admitted the speaker emphatically stated \u201cNo.\u201d \u201cThey may take shares,\u201d he said, \u201cyielding from 57, to 754.on their In- | vestment but they have no voting powers.\u201d Mr.P.N.April, Inspector of Agronomists for this district was also present at the meeting.A committee was appointed to canvass prospective members, and from latest information at hand 90 sig- 80 millions of dollars.BIRTHDAY OF FATHER DAVID CELEBRATED Friends of Parish Priest Stage Entertainment in Church Hall eT On Saturday the 9th, teachers from the

nawaga, came before the Private Bills Committee at its initial session yesterday morning.The bridge would be built by a commission composed of five members appointed by the Provincial Government.Provincial sanction was secured from the Legislature in 1928, but in the case of a bridge over the St.Lawrence an act of Parliament is necessary.Over other waters the sanction of the Government alone suffices.The bill before the committee yesterday authorized the bridge be built, but stipulated that before work is begun the site and the plans must be sanctioned by the Governor-in-Council.The draft clauses in the bill were subjected to revision by the law officers of the Crown and the revision was accepted by the promoters of the bill.The committee then endorsed the measure.The revised bill stipulates that the bridge shall be constructed subject to such regulations for the security of the navigation of the river as the Governor-in-Council prescribes.Designs and drawings and all details must be submitted to and approved by the Government before the works start.A new section which was inserted is calculated to prevent delay in the work.Construction must be started within three years after approval of the plans and be completed within three yedrs after such commencement, otherwise the powers conferred will be void.No opposition was forthcoming.The Beaver

on Friday Board of Trade Hosts Valleyfield Football Club to be Re-organized Along - New Lines By W.J.A banquet was given by the local Board of Trade in Knights of Columbus Hall here in Valleyfield on May 8th in honor of Albert Leduc.Two hundred guests were present including Mr.Cecil Hart, manager of Canadiens Hockey Club.Mr.P.God- bout, chairman of the Valleyfieid Chambre of Commerce presided.Mr.Leo Dandurand gave a fine address, reviewing some of the incidents of the season.He cxlolled the excellent team play of Canadiens and forecasted a brilliant future for hockey.Those at the

Mayor; Ald.J.A.Mc- Donald, Pierre Beaubien of Frontenac Breweries; J.Rene Bertrand, J.St- Onge, Leo G.Perron and P.Billette, Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus.Players present were: Howie Morenz, Aurel Joliet, Wildor Laroch- elle Armand Mondou, George Man- tha and Pit Lepine, Valleyfield Football Club Re-organized.\u2014 Although of late years Valleyfield has had nothing to boast about in the way of a football team, there appears to be every chance of our have ing one this year.On Thursday night a meeting was held in Jack O'Neill's restaurant, having as its object the re-organization of the club.Mr.William McDonald was elected president, Mr.Herbert Thomson, Vice-President, and Mr.Jack O'Neill, Secretary-Trea- surer.The outcome of the meeting was that they try this year to raise à team sufficiently good enough to enter a league next year.Mr.O'Neill has proposed a sports day to be held on the football field later in the season.He is of the opinion that the club can derive from gate receipts and the sports day $250.00, this will enable them to enter the league next year on a sound financial footing.People of Valleyfield, they cannot do this without your support.The boys are anxious to do ail in their power this year to make the club the success it ought to be.Will you do your little bit and support them?Sport has been dead in Valleyfield long enough, let us resurrect it, and make it as good as the pre-war days when Valleyfield was held in as high esteem as the next one in the sporting world.Boats are going to be the vogue in Valleyfield this summer.Both youths and men are to be found eagerly scanning the advertising columns for bargains in boats.The youths it is supposed will be dashing on the lake St.Francis in their outboard motor boats, cutting all kinds of figures through the water with them, just showing the citizens that Kay Don has nothing on them when it comes to cutting a dash.The men, well, they are supposed to have no other reasons for wanting to boat, especially the married ones.Perhaps its a little recreation they are pining for, as fishing, or in some cases where a man is prone to obesity, rowing.One wouldn't dare to suggest that it is for an hour or two's plece of mind away from their wives, ahem.Dg.Brassard's youngest daughter was knocked down hy a car while crossing Grand Ile road Friday afternoon, her father attended her and we are happy to say found she had not been injured seriously in any way.Mr.William Walsh of Montreal was a recent visitor to the home of his mother, Mrs.E.Walsh.Miss Gladys O'Neill visited her parents over

Timmins is to be found a large clan of Finlanders.The Pinns are a respectable race, but unfortunately paid \u201cReds\u201d are working amongst them spreading Communism.Two weeks ago the Communists decided to hold a parade in Timmins, but it was fortunately prohibited by the municipal government.The Communists are molesting the Loyal Finn to Canada and are making it very disagreable for foreign people to live peaceable.The Loyal Finns have organized themselves into a group called \u201cThe Loyal Finns of Canada.\u201d Immigrants of this type are to be encouraged everywhere, but a strong hand is necessary to subject the other disturbing elements.The Loyal Finns passed a resolution at a mass meeting censuring the work of paid Ramsian agents in Timmins.When the Finns will make such a resolution, #t is an indication that it is high time for our Governments to step in with a firm hand and deport the undesirables.THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER Chronicled News Bits Specially Written for The Huntingdon Gleaner Power of Lightning A flash of lightning will develop sufficient pow- ter to lift five large railway engines with their tenders, to a height of a mile and a quarter.And hundreds of thunderstorms are constantly raging over the earth's surface.It is strange, therefore, that the death roll from lightning is not far larger.In Britain, of all her millions, only fourteen people die yearly by lightning.In the United States the number is 452.But is must be remembered that part of the United States is definately semi-tropical.In August, 1926, a violent thunderstorm swept the Kentish coast, and the flashes fell at the rate of 300 a minute.Next morning hundreds of rooks, wood pigeons and other birds were picked up dead in the country behind Ramsgate.An attempt is being made in the German mountains to harness lightning by giant insulators.Wise Old Hen Helps Grocer A hen delivered herself to the home from which an order had come to a local grocery store.Here's the story, vouched for by the grocer and others.Mrs.A.M.Fite, of 2416 Noble street, Anniston, Ala., ordered a chicken from the store.A clerk went to the yard back of the grocery and attempted to catch a hen with which to fill the order.But Biddy had other ideas about the matter.She flew from the yard and to the top of a moving street car headed in the direction of the Fite home.At the end of the \u201ccar line, at Twenty-fifth and Noble, the hen flew to the ground, landing in the yard of Mrs.Fite's residence, where she took refuge under the floor.Her action so impressed those concerned that she was spared the axe.Sisters Were Reunited Dorothy Matoska, 20, and Bertha Wittig, 19 both telephone operators in a Baltimore exchange, had only a slight speaking acquaintance with each other.On a recent night when Dorothy came home, Mrs.Matoska said she had a secret to reveal.The woman confessed she was not Dorothy's own mother but had taken her into her home in early childhoood.Dorothy's own mother, Mrs.Mary Thomas, had just died, Mrs.Matosko said.Recovering from her surprise, Dorothy asked if she might go to her mother\u2019s funeral.She did, and there she met Bertha Wittig, also a daughter of Mrs.Thomas, and who had been adopted in childhood by a family named Wittig.There at the funeral of their mother the two girls discovered for the first time they were sisters.\u2014\u2014\" Bees Were Intoxicated Emil Kemelstrand, of Salem street, Rockland, Mass.à staunch prohibitionist, reported to the police his bees were coming home intoxicated at all hours of the day and night.They had forsaken flowers, he said, and were devoting all their attention to a pile of mash, discarded by an undentified local brewer.The result was, he said, the bees flew back to the hive drunk at times when well-behaved bees are abed.Demand for their honey increased to the point where he could hardly supply it, the bee-keeper averred.Police have tried in vain to find the malt pile, not being able to keep up with the bees.Divining-Rod Used ha The search for the bodies of William Mallough and Leonard McDonald, of Goderich, who were drowned in Lake Huron, off Goderich, continues, but without result.The search went on indefinitely.The fathers of the drowned youths, Bert McDonald and Joseph Mallough, conduct the search, and they were assisted by upward of twenty men.A number of motor launches were used.A party visited Goderich with a divining-rod, and the water surface at the scene of the drowning was covered.On a number of occasions where the bodies were.Marine men stated that the rod did not dip twice in the same place, being many feet out.Dimes Take Him on World Tour Since 1903 a dime to Ascar S.Bodenhausen, an American, now living in London, has been more than just 10 cents.He revealed that while on a world tour, financed on dimes he had saved for 28 years.Bodenhausen said each night he would put all dimes he had in his pocket in a purse and each week put them on time deposit with compound interest twice a year.When he had saved $3,250 he started on his world tour.King Purchases Devil Wagon Departing from all traditions of his country and faith, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, ecclesiastical King of Tibet, India.ordered an automobile sent to him at Lhassa, high in the Himalayas.A newly- trained Chinese chauffeur will pilot the car where routes are navigable but where no roads exist parties of 30 coolles each will be posted along the mountain passes and on the desolate Tibetan plateau to carry it in relays to its destination.Heretofore all automobiles have been dubbed \u201cdevil wagons.\u201d They Want Mayor Ousted During Mat Wagner's recent, successful campaign for mayor in Winona, Minn.600 dozen eggs were distributed to the public at one cent a dozen.The market

Albany recently.Before going to the cemetery she was asked by a niece how long she would be, Her reply was: \u201cI may not come back.\u201d Plants Romans Planted In many parts of England are the remains of Roman camps built by soldiers of nearly two thousand years ago.All have fallen into ruins and most are now buried under several feet of soil.But it is possible that flowers which the Roman soldiers planted still live and bloom year after year.Near the sites of many of the camps in the South of England tiny red tulips make their appearance each spring.They are quite different from any other tulips seen in this country, and are found nowhere but in the neighborhood of Roman camps.Still more curious, the bulbs from which the flowers spring are found at depths of five feet and more underground.The most simple explanation of this peculiarity is that they were planted near the surface in the ordinary way by the Romans, and with the passage of years they have become more and more deeply buried, like the ruins of the camps themselves.Black Eggs Upset Scientists For a long time, white ducks have been laying white eggs, and black ducks, white eggs.And science didn\u2019t get excited.But now poultry fanciers are doing some fancy talking about a black duck that lays black eggs.So far, four black eggs in a row.The duck is owned by Marvin Snowwhite, 15, of Bridge- ton, N.J.Marvin broke the first egg, he was so excited.A hen\u2019s sitting on another.A third is being exhibited, and the fourth was opened and cooked.It was like other eggs.Man One Half, Wife Other After seven years of living in a section of his home apart from his wife, Chester A.Jones, wealthy builder of Beacon, N.Y., is seeking an annulment in Supreme Court at White Plains.Jones told Judge William F.Bleakley that soon after their marriage he found his wife cold toward him.So he divided their home at Pleasant Plains.She lived in one half and he in the other.Judge Bleakley reserved decision until a later date at Poughkeepsie, when Mrs.Jones will appear.\u201cI will not grant you an annulment un- tl I see this woman, until I see what such a woman looks like,\u201d Judge Bleakley told Jones.Saved by Wife's Pluck Accidentally shot in the shoulder when his gun \"exploded as he sat in his canoe, Archie McGinnis, Indian trapper, of Koochiching Reserve near Fort Frances, Ont, will recover because his plucky little wife performed a strong man\u2019s work for six hours, removing her husband to a place where he could be treated.When he was shot McGinnis fell from his canoe into Captain Cuttle Lake.His wife pulled him back into the craft.Then she paddled twenty miles to Calder's Fishery with her wounded husband, and tumed him over to a fisherman, who rushed with him to Fort Frances in a motor boat.Fortune Smiles on Widow Fortune smiled upon a widow and her four children at Schenectady, N.Y.after their dog \u201cPal\u201d was threatened with execution unless his license fee and court costs, amouting to $11.was paid.The widow, Mrs.Dorothy Fonda, had no money.An animal protective organization worker became interested and she appealed to the citizenry for funds.As a result $28.85 was collected and the license fee was paid, City Judge James W.Liddle then dismissed the court charges, and the remainder of the money was turned over to the needy family.Uses Old Truck as Home An old, discarded automobile truck, near the Boulevard at Niagara Falls, is serving as the temporary home of James Canall, 30, unemployed chauffeur, and his wife.Canall had been out of work since last September and unable to meet household expenses.As a result he was evicted from his home at Wheat- field recently.Instead of appealing to charity, however, he gathered his few belongings and moved into the truck.Despite their plight, the two appear happy and hopeful of better times.Transformer Drops Into Car David Dempster, 22 of Toronto, must carry horseshoes or rabbit's feet in his

Oskaloosa.His car began to miss, Suddenly it stopped running altogether.Clark couldn't figure out just what the trouble was.He called a garage man and had it hauled to the garage.An examination

ballad about \u201cWho's Got the Key to the Jail House Door\u201d that applies to the city jail at Naples in Ontario county, N.Y.Mrs.Catherine Bowes, member of the state commission on corrections, returned to Albany without a report as to the condition of the Naples jail.The officials could not find the key.One Dollar to Hang Himself After reciting alleged ills she had suffered at the hands of

1881, was a momentous date in the history of this country, for on that day the\u2019 first sod for the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway designed to con- Dect the Atlantic with the Pacific was turned.With that ple event of half a century ago the whole subsequent story of Canadian progress and expansion is bound up.The construction of a \u201cPacific Railroad,\u201d as it was at first called, was a pledge in fulfilment of the Confederation plan, given to the crown colony of British Columbia when she became part of the Dominion in 1871.At that time Confederation was still on trial and in the unsettled condition of public opinion, the \u201cPacific Railroad\u201d question bedevilled politics for nearly a decade.It wrecked the Macdonald Government in 1873.It nearly wrecked Confederation in 1876, when British Columbia threatened secession because of the failure of the Mackenzie administration to carry out Canada's pledge to build a railroad to the Pacific.The situation was saved for Canada by its Governor-General the Earl of Dufferin who personally went to the mountain province (via San Francisco) and by his brilliant oratory persuaded its people that with the exercise of a little patience they would become partners in the Dominion.After he returned to power in 1878, Sir John A.Macdonald made the implementation of the pledge of 1871 a primary consideration and early in 1881 he had at last secured the cooperation of a syndicate whose more influential factors were as resolute a group of men as ever helped to build an Empire.In connection with this recent jubilee it is unnecessary to recall in detail the betrayals, the financial conspiracies, the almost unbearable anxieties, the political enmity and cowardice, which during the next few years tried the souls of the authors of the enterprise.Suffice it to say that at Craigellachie, B.C., on Nov.7th, 1885, the last spike of the original main line was driven and on June 28th, 1886, the first C.P.R.train to the Pacific Coast left Montreal, arriving at Port Moodie, B.C,, five and a half days later,\u2014years ahead of schedule, as named in the contract of 1881.A finer epic of peaceful achievement no land can boast.At the outset this achievement was due to the colossal energy and emotional enthusiasm of George Stephen (afterward Lord Mountstephen), its first President.At 15 he had been working as an apprentice in a draper's shop at Aberdeen when a cousin induced him to emigrate to Montreal.At 40 he had become President of the Bank of Montreal, the greatest of Canadian financial corporations.He was 52 when he essayed the gigantic task of financing and building the C.P.R.and he and his associates pledged all their personal wealth to the cause.In the strenuous years which followed he owed most to two friends who had been bitter enemies and whom he succeeded in reconciling, Sir John A.Macdonald and Donald Smith.In 1889 he retired to spend a long and reposeful old age, assured of a permanent place in history.In the task of construction, Stephen had the co-operation of two Americans of wide experience who had enjoyed an initial training on the first of Western railroads, the Illinois Central, the project of Lincoln's rival, Stephen A.Douglas.-These-were- William Van Horne, afterwards a knight, and Thomas Shaughnessy, who died à member of the House of Lords, Van Horne was the General-in-the-Field and Shaughnessy the Quartermaster General of the forces engaged in the great task and their superb efficiency was demonstrated in the early completion of the railroad.Van Horne, the second President, who took office in 1889, was a man of most original and pungent personality.A book could be made of the anecdotage which centres round his name.Perhaps tne most characteristic relates to a season when Western farmers were getting only 35 cents a bushel for wheat.The C.P.R.President remarked to a friend that in his opinion they were being robbed by the grain dealers, and the latter suggested that the C.P.R.organize purchases at a better price.The idea appealed to Van Horne who secretly formed an agency to buy wheat at 50 cents per bushel.Wheat poured to the prairie depots in such quantities = that there were insufficient rolling stock to handle it.Political enemies of the great corporation photographed the piles of bags on station .platforms to illustrate a campaign of condemnation at the company\u2019s failure to serve the farmers, unaware that the C.P.R.itself owned the grain.Van Horne, laughing in his sleeve, made a novel use of the photographs by sending them to Europe to prove the overflowing abundance of the prairies, and stimulate immigration.Though American by birth, Van Homme proved himself a most steadfast and patriotic.Canada.There were those who opposed the construction of a line through the rocky wilderness of Northern Ontario, and urged an international route via Sault Ste.Marie and St.Paul.In

destiny he foresaw for the this crisis Van Horne proved a most valiant champion of an all-Canada route.The route, partially completed, enabled Canada to suppress the Riel rebellion of 1885 with comparative ease.Without it there might have been a different story to tell.In the present century the history of the railroad has been one of ever increasing expansion to keep pace with the needs and opportunities of a new era and modern ideas of service.Van Horne retired in 1899 and was succeeded by Thomas (Lord) Shaughnessy, his associate from early manhood, and equally superb as an executive.The latter took full advantage of the great tide of immigration and prosperity which began to alter the face of the West shortly after the beginning of the new century, and of Canada\u2019s growing place in the world at large.It was he who carried out a dream of Sir John Macdonald, namely, that the C.P.R.should become a great ocean corporation providing Canada with her own communication on the seas.This policy has been developed in ever increasing magnificence by his successor, Mr.Beatty.Lord Shaughnessy held the office of President until 1918, much longer than his two predecessors.His successor, the present Chief Executive, was practically his heir-designate.Mr.Beatty is the first to hold his great office who was not one of the \u201coriginals.\u201d He entered the company's law department in 1901, at a salary of $50 per month.By 1913 he had risen to the office of general counsel.At that time Lord Shaughnessy sent for him and said he wished to make him a Vice-Presi- dent with important executive functions.Mr.Beatty's desire to stick to the legal side was so strong that he resisted for some time and when he did consent to become Vice-President in 1914 made the proviso that he be allowed to retain the office of General Counsel, The thirteen years that have elapsed since he succeeded Lord Shaughnessy in 1918 have developed their own special problems\u2014problems as Affficult as those which confronted earlier Chief Executives.But Mr.Beatty has handled them so ably and has grown so steadily in personal prestige that he has more than justified the foresight of Lord Shaugh- nessy who saw in him his logical successor.From the outset the success of the C.P.R.has been due not merely to the unique executive capacity of its Presidents, but to their ability to select and work harmoniously with subordinates of high capacity also; and to produce an esprit de corps that permeates and increases the efficiency of the entire system.At the present time it is salutary to contemplate the history of the C.P.R.Its path has not always been one of roses, but the story of its past gives a warrant for the mast abiding faith in Canada's future.It started with a capitalization ~ of only $25,000,000, backed by the government of a poor and sparsely settled country, which hardly realized the magnitude of the task to which it had set its hand.Through the building of the C.P.R.Canada grew out of parochial conceptions to ideals of nationhood.In perspective the courage of the original political and financial sponsors assumes vast relative proportions.But we believe that the present generation of Canadians is at heart not less courageous, less enterprising, less steadtast than the generation of 1881.\u2014(Toronto Saturday

one who looks down upon, despises, and overrides his inferiors, or even equals of his own standing, and is ever ready to worship, fawn upon, and flatter a rich or titled man, not because he is a good man, a wise man, or a Christian man; but because he has the luck to be rich or consequential.\u201d WHEN CHILDREN F R E THERE are times when a child is too fretful or feverish to be sung to sleep.There are some pains a mother cannot pat away.But there's quick comfort in Castorial For diarrhea, and other infantile ills, give this pure vegetable preparation.Whenever coated tongues tell of constipation: whenever there's any sign of sluggishness.Custoria has a good taste;

distance away and followed the wire to where it was attached to the corner of the barn, fire breaking out immediately.The grounding of wire fences as a protection to stock has long been advocated but the practice is seldom if ever followed and this seems to be a forcible demonstration of the advisibility of doing so.The buildings were partially covered by insurance.The Sacrament of the Lord's

O\u2019CONNOR BROS., Huntingdon, Que.Mrs.Alex.Quennev ve \\@ ET SIXS Hy > di Wednesday, May 13th, 1931 CORRESPONDENCE 0 the Electors of the Muni- ) cipality of Hinchinbrooke Dear Sirs: It is getting near council election time and there has been quite a number come to me and Nave told me that John Ross is after us again, with a new accomplice, M.M.Mc- Naughton, who are making serious charges against the Council, putting in bills for extra time and mileage.A lot of it was caused by the injunction that was served two years ago.I felt that it was my duty to defend our Councillors, as I feel that every man that sat at the Board has given fai «service and received only a D \u2018Fvage for extra work.The councillors sat at fourteen meetings last year, and got to those meetings without getting a single cent, and dealt with the problems that arose our municipality to the best of eir judgment and ability.Mr.Ross and Mr.McNaughton are two men who went to the secretary and looked up these bills.Now, I would like to ask these men, if they told the ratepayers, what they got for the same kind of work, when they were serving as Mayor and Councillor.If they did not, they have not played the game fair.That was the custom of the ex-Mayor, when I went into the gpuncil.and I remember two of the » mm a $ + amounts that he put in, and I feel sure that he received twice as much for the amount JY time and mileage he made, as any councillor that sat at the board this last year.There was no system, it was: What do you want for your time for committee work?And I feel that the present council in its change of system, have cut these municipal expenses in two.When these men were in the council, their system of road building, was giving contracts for gravel road that the ratepayers did not rec:iv- value for, which raised our rate of taxation and caused quite a floating debt in our municipality.Now the present council changed that policy.to day labour, mostly giving every man that served the municipality a living wage, and not thousands of unearned money to a few men.Under our system we have built two miles of road for about the same amount of money as these men built one.We have paid off the debt in our municipality, lowered the rate of taxation eight mills in the last four years, and according to Mr.Sellar\u2019s year book, our ratepayers are paying the lowest in our county.yet our financial statement shows a surplus instead of a deficit.Two years ago last Fall, Mr.Ross and Mr.Goldie served an injunction to stop enlargement and repairs on our Town Hall, and to create strife and discord in our municipality, instead of coming like honorable men and telling the council that they were opposed to this work, and look over the Hall to see if they were Justified in the attitude they took.Our Hall was built 66 years ago last summer.with nothing done to it in that time but a new roof and painted inside 34 years ago, until we enlarged and repaired it last year.I do not think these men were very conscientious in what they did for both of them have enlarged, repaired and beautified their home buildings without letting them stand sixty-six years.These men declared in their injunction that the council had made five mistakes in our contract, viz: (1) We should have proceeded by By-Law instead of by resolution.(2) There were no plang and spgeci- fications before the council.(3) There were no public notices given specifying summarily the work to be done.(4) That we had not appropriated the necessary fund.(5) That no security was given to the contractor.The Council felt - that these men had started this suit and made all these statements without saying a word to the council and felt the only way to know just what was right was to let it go to a judge's decision, which was done.The judgment showed that the first.three were done according to law, but that we should have appropriated the money for the contract and that we should have exacted a bond from our contractor.The funny thing is, that the contracts that were let for roads when Mr.Ross sat at the board had neither money appropriated for them nor d he ask the contractor to give a cent for Bonds.Hence their contracts were illegal.If any one had been as busy as these men and served an injunction to stop their work.Now I feel in this case, it should have been one who is without sin, that should cast the first stone, for I feel certain that there is not a Councillor that feels he has not given service for every dollar received: and show me the ratepayer who is not willing to give a living wage for service rendered?If these men can expose any graft or anything where money has been spent when it was not for the improvement of our roads and buildings, let them go to it.I am, Yours truly, J.M.WALLACE, Mayor of the Municipality of Hinchinbrooke New York Central Now Grants Week-end Excursion Rates To be in line with the Canadian railways the N.Y.C.now announces

Barber Shop L.Bisson, Prop.CORRESPONDENCE Editor of the Huntingdon Gleaner, Dear Sir:\u2014 There is a matter of considerable importance that I wish to bring to the attention of your readers, especially those who are ratepayers of the Township of Hinchinbrooke.In looking over the Financial Statement of the Township of Hin- chinbrooke for 1930 in the issue of Feb.11th there is one item in the expenditure column, namely that of municipal expenses, that drew my attention, as it is not found in any other Financial Statement, of the different Municipalities, printed ip.your paper.As no items under this heading are mentioned in the minutes of the monthly meetings published in the local papers during the year, it was necessary to go to the Secretary's books for information, as to what this item meant.It was found to be made up of bills, paid to the members of the Council for attendance at committee meetings, and trips to different places.and the members were paid at the rate of 25 cents per hour.and mileage at the rate of 10 cents per mile.Copies were taken of three of the largest bills and we are asking you to print them to show the ratepayers how part of their money is spent.This matter should be taken seriously by the ratepayers of the Municipality, as they will be called on, in the near future, to decide whether they wish to have a Council Board which will be a law to itself.or one which will be governed by the Municipal Code of the Province of Quebec.Thanking you for this space in your valuable paper, I am, Yours sincerely, RATEPAYER Hinchinbrooke, May

the announcement made by the Hon.Adelard Godbout, Minister of Agri-| culture, Quebec, re his decision to appoint a commission to probe the Montreal Milk Conditions.The commission appointment is being brought about through the farmer co-operatives, and farmers asking the Minister to delve into the matter, as it is generally felt by the farmer that he is not being treated fustly nor does he feel the citizens of Montreal are being fairly Today, the farmer receives 21c per gallon of milk, and the Montreal milk dealer gets 27c for delivering the milk to his customers.farmer receiving the full 21c per gallon for milk that leaves his farm, he would not feel as though he were being so ill treated, but an advantage appears to be taken of him, and he has to pay the piper.Suppose Mr.Farmer ships 300 lbs.of milk from his farm today, do you imagine he gets paid for the 300 lbs.of milk at the contract rate of $2.03 per 100 Ibs.of milk\" No, he has to pay the 75 cents for express, and the milk dealers contend that there is a loss of milk on practically every can shipped.The loss may be created through spilling, through no fault of the farmer, but probably at the fault of the Montreal dairyman.Mr.Farmer has to stand this loss which is often 17¢; of the milk shipped.\u2018So in place of Mr.Farmer being paid for 300 pounds of milk shipped today.he is paid for 249 lbs.of milk.and perhaps less.Of the 249 lbs.of milk left from the original 300 shipped from the farm the Montreal dairyman might say we had surplus milk, and we are therefore obliged to pay Mr.Farmer the fluid milk price on 175 lbs.of milk and the other 74 lbs, of milk at the butter price of milk, which they Now this is not the worst feature of shipping to the Montreal milk dealers, for in the city are a number of milk distributors who are known as The little dealers are known to sell milk at cut rate prices, in order to get a milk route distribution.These little dealers do not take the loss, but in turn tell Mr.Farmer when sending him his milk cheque that they are only able to pay 16 to 18 cents a gallon, and that is The Hon.Adelard Godbout, Minister of Agriculture in appointing a commission is doing the farmer a justice to which they are all entitled.The commission will investigate the necessity of the 27c spread for the selling of a gallon of milk.If the spread can be reduced the farmer is the man who should receive the benefit.The dairies in Montreal have contended that selling whole milk is not a profit making proposition and that they make profits out of the wholesale milk trade, cream and ice cream businesses.The commission is essential whether it is to reduce the cost of milk to the consumer, or to increase the price to the farmer.EES Dundee Centre By Peggy Miss Ethel Doig spent

the desire of the Quebec Department of Agriculture to assist in the rapid introduction of pure blood by purchasing, in this country or abroad, a certain number of stallions and mares belonging to the three or four breeds recognized as being best suited to our conditions.Syndicate Rules: To take advantage of the benefits offered below.horse breeders\u2019 syndicates must conform to the following

the amount should, however, always be stated.If not stated, the law will allow the landlord what the use of the premises is reasonably worth.Description of Premises\u2014The lease must describe the premises.It need not be in full detail; any general description that will identify the property is sufficient.The parts and ap- purtances that ordinarly belong to such premises are included.Who Cannot Give a Lease\u2014A husband cannot make a lease which will bind his wife's property after his death.A guardian cannot give a lease extending beyond a minor's majority which the minor cannot annul if he wishes, but if he does not annul it the tenant is bound by it.Under the common law a married woman cannot lease her property, but under the statutes of most Provinces she can.A special statuée.supersedes the common law.A minor cannot make a valid lease, but can become a tenant.Students under age hiring rooms come under this class.Rights of Landlord Subletting and Assigning Lease\u2014 The landlord can prohibit his tenant from subletting the premises, or any part of them, or from assigning the lease, by stating the prohibition in a special clause of the same.Tenant Breaking the Condition\u2014If the tenant has broken the condition Gurney Range.Northernt of the lease by subletting the premis- | es, the landlord, if he accepts the rent due, knowing of the subletting, cannot remove the tenant.Right to Inspect Premises\u2014The landlord has the right to enter upon the premises to ascertain whether there is any waste or injury done, after first giving notice of his intention.Making Repairs\u2014Unless expressly covenanted, the landlord is not obliged to make the necessary repairs.If a tenant wishes his landlord to make special repairs during the term he must stipulate for the same in the lease.But if the landlord does agree to make all necessary repairs and fails to do so, even that does not relieve the tenant from paying rent.Notice to Quit\u2014In case of a tenant at will, or one who holds over after the expiration of his lease with the consent of the landlord, a notice to quit is necessary to compel him to give up his possession.This notice must, as a general rule, be given at a date before some \u2018rent day,\u201d and distant from it by the usual period at which rent is payable.Thus, if it is payable monthly, there should be a month's notice ending on the day when the rent is payable.The time for giving notice, however, is usually fixed by statute in the different states in order that summary proceedings for possession may be commenced.If the rent is in arrears, only a brief notice is required.In most of the Provinces this is fixed at from tive to fourteen days.Such notice need not be made to end upon the day when rent is payable.Refusal to Vacate\u2014If a tenant refuses to vacate the premises after the termination of his lease, from any cause, the proper and safest way for the landlord, as well as the cheapest, is to get him out by process of law, or by a sealed lease \u20180 a third party, who can legally claim possession.Rights of Tenant Some of the rights of tenants are embodied in the above statements of the rights of the landlord.To What a Tenant is Entitled\u2014In taking possession of the premises the tenant is entitled to all the privileges and appurtenances to the property in all their details without being expressed in the lease.Sale of Property\u2014The landlord affects the tenant's rights by selling the property.if he has a written lease.Such sale must be made subject to the rights of the tenant.The Right to Sublet\u2014A tenant can sublet the rented premises or any part of them, unless expressly prohibited from doing so by the terms of He, however, remains re- to his landlord, unless the latter accepts such third party as his tenant in place of the former and releases him in writing.Lease Assignable\u2014A tenant's lease is always assignable unless it contains restrictions to the contrary.Such an assignment, however ,to be fully legal must be under seal.The assignment may be for a part or the whole of the original term, but if for less than the original term, then it is properly subletting.The Subtenant\u2014 The subtenant bears no relation to the original landlord and is not responsible to him for rent.The tenant {run whom he has rented is his only landlord.In the case of an assignmant of the lease with the assent of the landlord the new tenant becomes the tenant of the original landlord and must pay him the rent.Repairs\u2014A tenant cannot make repairs upon the property rented and deduct the amount paid out from the rent, for that would be in effect compelling the landlord to do it.Making Improvements \u2014 For improvements that become part of the premises, or such as cannot be removed without injury to the same, the tenant can claim no allowance from the landlord; but a tenant may remove from rented property articles which he has placed for use in some trade, such as engines or other machines, or even in some cases of buildings erected for the same purpose, or articles for domestic use, such as furnaces, shelves, gas fixtures, etc.Of course his personal property a tenant can remove any time at pleasure.Right to Quit\u2014Where the renting is for a definite time no notice from either party to the other is necessary, as the landlord has the immediate right of possession as soon as the time expires; so the tenant has also the right to vacate at that time with- O KEEP YOURSELF HEALTHY The lot of most people is much indoor work and little real exercise.That's why it\u2019s sensible, every 50 often,to give the system a gentle, thorough cleansing with Dr.Carter\u2019 Little Liver Pills.All vegetable.60 years in use.25¢ & 75c red packages Ask your druggist for the lease.There is no substitute for A an, For fearly 80 years preferred by the mothers of Canada because of their proven purity and high quality.Only Christie\u2019s can make Christie's Arrowroots.Miraculous OVEN HE even heat of the Gurney oven removes the element of luck from baking.You can bake a hundred cakes and each one perfect.A matter of built-in quality, of 92 years Gurney experi- ' ente and of Northern Electric cooperation, have developed the Northern Electric- Four hundred cubic inches larger than that\u2019 of any other electric range, with perfect dis- 8: one-piece porcelain enamelled lining RATIONAL ELECTINÇAS SERVICE wel and snug-closing door are among a dozen features distinctive to this super-range.Finished in handsome porcelain enamel, with smooth, rounded edge and coeners.and never a projecting nut or bolt to mar ita simple beauty, this range ismade in Canada and carries the Northern Electric \u201cApproved Appliance\u201d SEAL\u2014 your permanent guarantee of mechanical perfection.| Ge today to any of the retail stores Ust- tribution of steady heat through righd, everlasting insulation, the Gurney oven allows I the Northern I 1353 to cook long after the current Is turned Approved Appliances illustrated hore, Electric ;

the encircling mountains were lost to view, and the canyons undulated with the milky folds of the soft and cloudy billows of the mist.Stanley.taking an early walk about the farm after a long and restless night, noted, as he had noted a thousand times, that the comfortable comestic life of barns and sheds proceeded placidly, unchecked by the apparent stoppage of all nature's forces.He loved his home, the man thought, with a pang of keen affection.After the feverish discomfort of the night, the walking and and dozing.always with a sense of impending misfortune upon him, he had risen Gisconsolately; no use to try to sleep, there was no more sleep in the world.But now this early rising.and those lost hours, seemed nothing.He was here, well and strong, and even healthily hungry.and in this new day anything might happen.; Something did happen, almost immediately, for Margaret and Jim came abruptly about the corner of the big hay barn.Margaret followed the child slowly, but without hesitation.The fog had curled her rich dark hair into a cloud about the softly-olive forehead.her face was pale and looked strained and weary; there was a spiritualized quality about her whole appearance that instantly appealed to Stan, and her dark blue eyes managed a smile as they met his.\u201cI slept horribly.\u201d she said, in answer to the concern in his eyes.\"And you did, too\u201d she added quickly.\u201cHardly at all,\u201d he answered.smiling down at her.\u201cBut I always love to get up early.\u2019 he continued philosophically, \u201cand I feel fine.But how about you?You fainted, last night.\u201d \u201cYes, I know,\u201d she said, flushing hotly, but meeting his eyes squarely.\u201cI suppose I was more tired than 1 knew!

It made me realize just what you are to me.\u201d \u201cStupid think to do!\u201d she said, anxiously and hurriedly.\u2018It all came over me, suddenly\u2014\" \u201cIt came over me too, Margaret,\u201d Stanley said.watching her closely.\u201c1 felt for the first time that we love each other.that you and I are to be man and wife.\u201d Margaret raised her eyes, brimming with slow tears, and smiled at him uncertainly.\u201cThat was it, wasn\u2019t it, Margaret?\u201d he asked.\u201cYou knew then that it was love, between you and me, didn't you?\u201d \u2018Yes,\u2019 she said in a low tone, \u201cI knew then that it was\u2014that.\" \u201cAnd you knew there never could be anyone else in my life, dear?\u201d Stanley said.\u201cI'll wait, and I'll give you all the time you want.But it's you and me now, Margaret against all the world!\" \u201cYou and me,\u201d she whispered.her lips trembling.she asked.with a glance in the direc tion of Shirley's room.- \u201cI'll manage her!\u201d \u201cYou know.of course.not free.Stan?\u201d \u201cYou told me that.\u201d Stanley smiled at her encouragingly.\u201cBut you could be free, Margaret?\u201d \u201cOnly by breaking my oath!\" she reminded him quickly.\u201cWhat about\u2014her?\"\u201d that I am A moment later, in silence, Stanley followed her into the sunshiny dining room.\u201cJust the same, I can't help being happy, Margaret,\u201d Stan said.\u201cI cannot help feeling that everything is going to come out all right.\u201d \u201cThe main thing.\u201d she said, with an adorable upward flash of blue eyes, \u2018the main thing is all right.\u201d \u201cYou mean.our liking each other?\u201d He leaned close to her as he spoke, and the look in his bronzed, boyish face, made her heart flutter suddenly.\u201cI thought that would never come to me again,\u201d Margaret said.\u201cAnd you are sure, now?\" he asked.in the same tone.\u201cSure?\u201d she echoed.faintly interrogatory.And with her odd smile she added, \u201cAh, my dear!\u201d \u201cWe will be happy here.Margaret,\u201d he pleaded.\u2018You and I, and our boy and our farm.\u201d \u201cIf one dared to think of it, even!\" the girl said.\u201cShirley will feel\u2014may feel all the more reason for hurrying the wedding, now.\u201d she added.\u201cI don't see why.It might work the other way.\u201d Stan said.reflectively.\u201cBut either way, it doesn't matter, for I shall have to tell her the truth.\u201d \u201cYou're going to do that?\u201d Margaret asked.\u201cI have to, now.\u201d \u201cCouldn't Shirley make it hard for you.Stan?\u201d \u201cOh.she will!\" he said serenely.\u201cShe might sue, you know.\u201d \u201cNot with Theobald dying.She talked to me last night about securing her share of his money.She said, in so many words, that she wouldn't \u201cBut a divorced woman isn't a man's widow?\" \u201cShe might easily be, in one of those Eastern States.Shirley got her divorce here.\u201d \u201cBut Stan, if her husband dies.does her alimony stop?\u201d \u201cI don't know.I never thought of that.I suppose it does.unless he leaves it to her in his will, which, said Stanley.positively.\u201cI know he won't do.\u201d \u201cThen, Stan, with only her own money\u2014a few hundreds, she told me \u2014and no alimony, and possibly losing the prospect of marrying you, isn't there a chance that she may fight?\u201d Margaret asked.\u201cWhat\u2014to marry me?\u201d \u201cWell, it has been done.\u201d \u201cYes, but Shirley wouldn't do that!\u201d Stanley said, laughing uncomfortably.\u201cI\u2014I've known her all my life, there's no harm in her,\u201d he added.\u201cWell, until reminded him, along.\u201d \u201cNever,\u201d said Stanley.in an undertone, as a stir in the living room beyond them announced Shirley or the Hyde-Browns, \u201cnever did anyone in this world love a woman as I love every inch of you.\u201d Margaret felt the solid earth stag- very I am free.\u2019 Margaret \u201cthings can drift \u201cI am a prospective widow, you know, I have some excuse!\" she reminded them, with a whimsical smile.\u201cMy dear,\u201d she added, to the company in general, \u201cisn\u2019t it pitiful?I've been thinking about it all night.Poor Cuyler\u2014he isn't 40 yet, you know, and he has the constitution of a lion! \u201cThink of Cuyler dying\u2014it\u2019s had the strangest effect on me,\u201d said Shirley frankly to the company.\u201cI'm that way\u2014I'm too soft.Everyone knows how Cuyler treated me, and how hard I tried to stand by him, and yet now\u20141 feel all broken up.honestly I do!\u201d \u201cYou idiot!

I'd go to him, yes I would, if I thought it would do him the least good,\u201d she added, with a little emotion.\u201cYes, I would!\u201d she repeated quickly, as Stanley's lean, reddened face broke into an incredulous grin, \u201cYou and Stan get married and take in New York on your honeymoon,\u201d Willis Hyde-Brown suggested, with the levity of his generation.Stanley's face had grown grave, and he said briefly.\u201cPretty good place for you to keep away from, Shirley!\u201d \u201cMy dear.\u201d Shirley said placating- ly.\u201cCuyler doesn't need me.I was merely saying that if he were alone, or in trouble, I'm just fool enough to rush to him.No brains,\u201d said Shirley of herself.pathetically.\u2018Horrible, horrible fog!\u201d she said, in an attempt to change the subject.\u201cWell, we can play bridge and forget poor Cuyler and his apoplexy.\u201d They did play bridge.from ten o'clock until a late luncheon hour.but Cuyler's name persistently crept into the conversation.and it was obvious that Shirley was softening toward him, was growing pensive and introspective, as the hours went by.She called Stanley from her room, in the late afternoon, and he went to her doorway.\u201cTanny, is there talk of tea?\" asked Shirley, who was on a brqad couch beside the window, with a fat soft rose-silk comforter over her.\u201cWill you have some tea?\u201d he asked.\u201cWould it be a horrid bother?\u201d \u201cMy.no!

M 181 Cooling Milk On The Farm THE HUNTINGDON By W.F.STEPHEN We have reached the season when our dairymen are faced with the problem of cooling milk rapidly.In those sections where ice is stored, cool- \u2018ng milk in hot weather is not much i.We ice is not stored, and where it M a problem, but there are sections is required to cool milk even for the \u201cv,0ry before delivery.To cool milk to 50 degrees\u2014the temperature required by most city regulations\u2014requires some mechanical method of cooling to get the best results.For this purpose there are various types of milk cooler.Many dairymen, who have the some mechanical type of refrigerator.privileges of electricity, are installing There are several types on the market.This does away with the storing of ice and all its \u201cmuss.\u201d The cooling of milk on the farm consists of more than setting the cans into a tank of water and allowing them to stand in water for a few hours.Milk should be cooled from about 93° to about 53° in order that germ life in the milk may not develop.For every can of milk at a temperature of 93°, about 8 gallons of water at 45° is required to cool each one gallon of milk to 53°.Professor R.M.Washburn, Director, Dairy Produce Institute, US.A., has made some very interesting experiments on the cooling of milk.In test No.1.the experiment was made with well-water, having a temperature of 50 degrees, which was flowing gently past two 8 gallon cans at once one of which was slowly and continuously stirred, and the other not stirred.The stirred can cooled more in ten minutes than the other in fifteen, but it took thirty minutes to reduce the stirred can from 98 to 56 degrees, while the unstirred can had only been reduced 73 degrees in the same time.With water flowing at a temperature of 48 degrees, the stirred milk was reduced from 94 degrees and 53 degrees in thirty minutes while the unstirred milk only reached 71 degrees.Experiments with ice water were very much more satisfactory, although in the unstirred can with ice water at 41 degrees the cooling per- ijod was very much shorter and the unstirred milk took thirty minutes to reduce to 47 degrees, and the unstir- red to 66 degrees in the same period.Therefore in cooling milk in the can it requires to be frequently stirred.Herein is where the use of a milk cooler does advantageous work, the milk running over a surface cooler through which cold or ice water is running, is more efficient and gives more satisfactory results.Getting the milk cool enough by the time the milk truck arrives is no small job on many farms.Men are interested in eating breakfast at that time, as well as getting the milk down to the road-way in time.The writer, has had considerable exper- fence, as for a number of years he was a milk shipper to Montreal.He highly recommends the use of a milk cooler.They are inexpensive and do efficient work.In securing a milk cooler, select one that may be easily cleaned.We have known\u2019 of cases where cooling devices were used but were neglected and became ihstru- ments to carry disease rather than instruments of prevention.It is a good thing to have a dairy thermometer hanging in the milk house, where the attedant may always know the temperature of the milk, and keep it recorded.There never was a time in the history of our country when purchasers of milk, whether for human consumption or for the factory, were more particular or demanded a better quality of milk from the dairyman as now.The consumer requires it from the milk dis- tributox: The concentrated milk manufacturer, cheese and butter man are all demanding a high quality milk, as their markets demand a high quality product.It therefore behooves all dairy farmers, not only to continue sani- their cooling methods by using ice water or cold well-water or spring water in their cooling methods.These are the days of quality products, and even if prices are lower than for many years, yet there is a greater demand for high quality The Gore W.M.S.meets.The Woman's Missionary Soclety of the Gore Auxiliary was entertained at the home of Mrs.E.A, Mason on Thursday afternoon, May
