this was the case last yeai.\\ \u201cSpeaking further relative to contamination at fairs, lest year [I remember reading where, in the Jersey islands, tuberculosis was unknown until two or three years ago.They traced the contamination directly to a herd of Jersey cattle that had heen taker over and exhibited on the contineni This opened their eyes to the danger and now they will not allow any more of their cattle to be exhibited on the continent or in the British Isles.That proves that if you keep your herds free from ir fection by coming into contact with the disease, it is possible to keep your cattle pure for hundreds of years.cs In reply Mr.Motherwell declared that: \u201cAt all the exhibitions 1 visited recently I have found that the tested and untested cattle were kept quite separate, isolated, so that there would be no fear of contagion.In the Maritime provinces the tested cattle were in separate buildings altogether, so that we are doing all we can with regard to the question of contagion through the medium of exhibitions, consistently with not crippling the exhibitions.1 do not think there is much contagion in that way now.Last year it was reported that Germany offered the allied nations the secret of a drug in exchange for some of its lost colonies.The drug was called Bayer 206, claimed as a remedy for African sleeping sickness.The trypanosome infection, which causes African sleeping sickness and which is transmitted to human beings through the bite of tsetse fly, has prevented the settling and exploitation of large areas of Africa.Use of the drug Bayer 205 proved that claims of the German chemists had ~foundation.Now, however, reports come from Paris telling of the synthesis by French chemists of a compound which they believe to be either jdentical with Bayer 205, or as effective, The French drug has been numbered 309.As a result of the use of Bayer 205 im Africas it was found that in some cases animals and men were resistant to cure of sleeping sickness by means of the drug.\u2014 Ol'colliding with a buggy.three dent occurred We established the area and got the information as to the cost and\u2019 \u2018he percentage of reactors on the » - HUNTINGDON, QUE., THURSDAY, MAY 29TH, 1924.EE ONCE LOCAL | JEWELLER LEADS CLEVELAND JAZZ Mr.Walter Logan, who at one time ran a jewellery store in Huntingdon, is to be the leader of the jazz music in the Cleveland, Ohio, city parks this year.Mr.Logan is the director of the Cleveland Concert Band und of the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra.He is to give forty park concerts during the summer months.Me Logan has been the orchestra leader in the La Salle theatre, Chicago, for many vears and recently went to Cleveland.1le\u2019is generally recognized ns a leading violinist and writer of bulluds in the Middle States.EEE ARE I FASE EE BL TYSTVLYLS Nang nas sae en ney BODY FOUND IN THE SOULANGES Man Was Drowned On Night of May 3rd By Motor Accident The body of a drowning victim, Arthur Bousquet, aged 43 of 12 St.Joseph boulevard, was found ut 6 o'clock on Saturduy evening in the Soulunges canal, one mile from Cedars, by a Montreal Light, Heat and Power.Consolidated, ecmploy- ee, Bousquet was drowned on May 3rd, with Oscar Besner of Coteau Station, when the former's automobile pitched into the canal after The acci- above a and the body was found 600 feet below the 600 feet bridge across the canal will test them, so long as it doeS\\pridge.lt is believed that the dis- not entail a lot more expense in'turbance to the water by boats travelling.You cannot take A passing in the canal brought the body to the surface.Two employees of the Montreal Light, Heat and Power, Consolidated, were walking along the canal bank, it was learned by Dr.H.Clement, of Cedars, when one of them pointed to a form floating in the water.The employees summoned aid and the body was brought to shore with boat hooks, being afterwards identified by papers in the clothing.After Coroner Mec- Mahon was notified the body was brought to Montreal, where !t was recognized by Miss Marguerite Bousquet, the victim's sister.A FASHION IN ANKLES (Manchester Guardian) Fashion and her -major-domos can do a great deal, but it seems open to doubt whether even M.Poiret, the Great Panjandrum of Paris itself, can bring about the change which he is reported to have threatened.M.Poiret is said to have come down flatly on the side of thick ankles; the woman with thin ones is to be not only unfashionable but definitely \u2014un- beautiful.Moreover, thin ankles mean \u201cweak knees and tiny brains.\u201d But this unfortunately, is the sweeping way in which the major-domos always talk.In the kingdom of fashion there are no greys; things are always omntrage- ously black or impeccably white.When high heels seem desirable it is by no means enough to say just that they are fashionable.They are also (according to the majordomos exceedingly beneficial in other ways; they impart grace and balgnce to the carriage, and probably assist their wearer to read small type and to preserve \u201cthat schoolgirl complexion.\u201d What high heels do undoubtedly accomplish is to increase the apparent slimness of the ankle, and probably the present fashion of low ones is at the bottom of M.Poiret\u2019's sudden discovery that thin ankles are intolerable on every conceivable ground.But there is a world of difference between the graceful ankle and the definitely thick one.the ideal of what Keats called \u2018the neatness, Of thine ankle lightly turned\u201d will never be surrendered, either by man or woman, at the bidding of a thousand M.Poirets.Thomas Griffiths Walnewright was a vile creature, but he had some streaks of the artist in him, and one cannot help remembering \u201chis apology for poisoning Helen Aber- cromby-\u2014\u2018\u2018After all, she had very thick ankles.\u201d Western Europe will as soon be won over to an admiration for the monumental outlines of the Circassian belle.And this suggests another spoke for M.Poiret\u2019's wheel.Thick ankles do not usually support a superstructure of sylphlike airiness\u2014to parody the parody, \u201cWho sports fat ankles shall herself he fat.\u201d But the present aim of M.Poiret and his associate major-domos is to deprive woman of any figure at all Clothes ate given her (at any rate by M.Poiret) in order to conceal her form.But ff he gets his thick ankles he will (with that deceptive ambition in mind) have some difficulty in arranging the draper- les which descend to them.~ FUR.\u2018Ne.23 Elm St.Malone, N.Y.Ie Aus 4 IN CADETS TO CAMP AT PORT LEWIS At His Inspection of The Academy Cadets °° NO PROVINCIAL CAMP Arrangements For Three Local Units Cudet work in the Montreal Cadets on Monday afternoon.Th year.As to their work during winter months, he regretted the Acduemy did not have a sufficiently large that the might carry on their drill the winter season.However, lent as was thelr showing, he sired the boys to remember the ideal behind the cadet ment was not so much to them proficient in military th mak mand.He hoped every hoy obey the instructions of his fors, be attentive to his and when either at work or play, always have an objective view, that made men.It was not the bo who had the most advantages succeeded, more often it was reverse.So they should strive always have an objective in view.As to the camp this Colanel Keefler sald: able to have a camp this th year of local camps where the boys authorities.\u201d at Port Lewis and the boys will all probability go into camp Martine Arouses The Neighboring Homes Cheese Follows Rising Market up from 1c to 1%e grade.according strengthened the to increase cheese prices.The cent.FOR THIS YEAR Colonel Makes Announcement Principal MacMillan To Make Lt.Col.Keefler, O.C.of the area.inspected the Huntingdon Academy boys were divided into their squads thai room boys during exoel- de- that move- drills, but to train them to obey and com- wpuld süper- studies at in It was the desire to succeed tha.Lo summer \u201cWe are un- on will get their training, and at the same time have their-outing.Immediate- ment and stores will be sent by the This camp is expected to be held in the Explosion In Banque at Ste.UP IN MONTREAL Butter Has Best Raise While past week the wholesale price went to The American demand for cheese price and with butter going up the tendency was increase for the week end was half a \u2014\u2014 \u201d LL EIGHT PAGES NEW EQUIPMENT BEING INSTALLED It is expected that the new press which is being added to the Gleaner\u2019s equipment will arrive this week, As the weight of the machine is over thirteen tons, the inconvenience caused by the work of installation is obvions.Correspondents and advertisers are therefore requested to send in offpy early, especially ns the Gleaner of next week will be over twenty pages in size.NS SE SILK RUNNERS NABBED IN CITY e and under the direction of the of.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ficers went through a series of |Police Had Watched Shipment foot movements.Afterwards they .were drawn up into line and the From Its Arrival In Cha- Colonel gave them a talk.He con- teaugay Station gratulated the boys on the im- + See provements that they have made!

Session Signs of Turning (By Special Correspondent) Ottawa \u2014From present Indications Parliament will continue in session until the leaves begin to turn.There has been no delay upon the part of the government in bringing dcwn its legislative programme: the greater portion of it, as predicted in tho Speech from the Throne, has been on the order paper for the past month or so, The Budget was delivered at an carlier date than usual, and was carried, after a prolonged debate, by a record majority; the resolutions in detail are now being dealt with as rapidly as possible in Committee of Ways and Means and tre provoking but little controver- sal debate.The estimates for the current fiscal yar were tabled over a month ago, and a goodly proportion of them have been passed.Standing Committtees were struck early in the session and tho major- Jy have been hard at work for a considerable period.Nevertheless the end of the session ls not yet In sight, and Parliament will be compelled to sit through the hot months of summer until the cooler months of the Fall.It had been anticipated tuat some compromise would be arrived at in the Gommittée on Miscellaneous and Private Bills, whereby the measure for the incorporation of the Union Church of Canada could be reported to the House in a hape which would commend itself to all and would obviate the necessity of further debate by the Commons and the Senate.Unfortunately neither the \u2018pros\u2019 nor the \u2018\u2018an- tls\u201d would agree to any compromise whatsoever, the upshot being that William Duff of Lunenberg, (Liveral), seconded by Gordon Wilson of Wentworth (Conservative), proposed an amendment, the force of which was to postpone the operation of the Bill until 1926, by which time it was hoped the courts weuld have declared as to the con- stitutionulity of the methods adopted to bring Union about.After a lengthy and somewhat heated de- bute a division was taken, and the amendment carried hy a vote of 27 to 23.The preamble was carried on the same division.The detajls of the Bill, which Is a very lengthy ons, have yet to be dealt with by the committee.It is not anticipated that this will take very long.But the Unionists plan to make their second fight in the House, and believe that they can win there, for the reason that tha bulk of he Progressive party are in favor of Union, while the other parties are divided.Some indication of the contest which will ensue\u201d may be gathered from the fact that Commons is divided on religlous grounds as follows: Presbyterians, 76; Roman Catholics, 73; Methodists 37.Anglicans, 31; Congregationalists 3; Baptists, 6: Union Church, 3; Brethern in Christ, He- hrew, Lutheran, Unitarian, Christian Church and latter Day Saints, one each, A multiplicity of bodies ls considering the Home Bank affair.In the first place the Courts, Civil and Criminal, ere getting ready to try the directors and officials of the defunct Bank.In the second place the Royal Commission, under Mr.Justice McKeown, has completed the first stage of its enquiry with respect to federal responsibility In the matter, and will issue an interim report at an early date.In the third place, the Banking and Commerce Committee has been sitting assiduously for the past week or so In an endeavor to discover ways and means whereby the interests of the depositors In banks generally may be better safeguarded.And, \u2018o add to the multiplicity of investigation, there has heen eamtrust- ed to the Committee on Privileges and Elections the task of enquiring into the question of certain withdrawals from the Bank made by Hon, James Murdock, Minister of Labor, just prior to the closing of the Bank\u2019s doors.The government shows no disposition whatsoever to curtail the enquiries in question, and appears anxious that the full light of day may he let in upon the whole affair.Mr.Murdock, who \u2014 \u2014 ES .and grade It Looks Likea Long at Ottawa Debate In House Expected On Church Union\u2014Long Ses- Sion In View\u2014Home Bank and Redistribution Takes Up Interest\u2014Government Gives on Conservatives.will remain absent from the House until the whole question, so far aa he Ils concerned, has been dealt with made a dignitied reply to the charges levelled against him by I2.Quas Porter, M.P.for West Hastings.He did not deny that he had withdrawn the money from the bank, but declared that he had done so in the ordinary course of business, While denying legal responsibility to do so, however, ho informed the House thai he had undertnken to refund the sum withdrawn to the liquidators, on the ground that he did not desire that any depositor of the Home Bank should suffer through his action.The sum withdrawn by the minister totalled about $4,000.To him probably It was a large amount; to the depositors generally it amounted to about one-aixteenth of a cent apiece, And Mr.Murdock is now refunding it by instalments, and apparently out of his own salary.The statement made by the miniater prior to his departure from the Chamber was received with applause both from his own and from the Progressive elde, and it is very evident that there ard many men in the House who do no regard his action as \u2018being à violation in any way of his oath of office.It in not the desire of the government to \u2018whitewash\u2019 the minister.It is its desire that the case be ried by the commitiee on its merits.But it is for Mr.E.Guss Porter, M.P.for West Hastings to prove that Mr.Murdock made the withdrawals in question as a result of knowledge which he gained as à minister of the crown, It ia rumored that the official Conservative opposition, which #0 fur has found itself in a very hopeless minority on almost every division taken, has decided to undertake a campaign by which, lt de hoped, the honor of the govere- all sorte of dire forebodings to th effect that, by the time the semlo is over, the government will be forced to the people.That is one side of Lhe question.On the other hand there are indications that the government, which has only been in power place 1921 has arrived at ment will be impugned,

mis-apphication of public funds during all these years.The official opposition is liable, before the qes- sion is over, to got a Roland for its Oliver.The government & not anxious to wash dirty linen, but is patience is wearing thin, and it is becoming somewhat tired of continually being on the defensive with respect to a group which is fn a hopeless minority in the House.Very many matters have yet to be dealt with, There ls a committee sitting on the question of the Civil Service.There Is another deliberating with respect to eoldiers\u2019 pensions, etc.Then there is the Redistribution Committee, which always meets in secret, but which apparently cannot agree with respect to the representation as between ur ban and rural centres.On Monday Hon.EKarmest Lapointe secured first reading for a Bill, the purpose of which ls to apply the single transferable vote to all constituen- cles in which there are more than two members offering themselves for election.The Bill was acclaimed by the Progressives, but there are Indications that ft will be challenged by the Senate which is predominatingly Conservative.Altogether the session promises n he a prolonged affair, the Public

trees and plant young trees in the now bare fields, there would be, in a few years, a better supply of timber, a more certain supply of moisture through the pastures and an added value to the land.This work could be done at little expense, and during the weeks when the farm activities are few.Our forefathers kept themselves for many years by the products of the natural forest that covered the countryside.Then lumber was plentiful and cheap, now it is scarce and valuable.Why should we ignore the facts?Restricted Area Promised.The statement of the Minister of Agriculture to the effect that a Tuberculosis free area will be shortly established in the District of Beauharnois, for the purpose of eradicating bovine tuberculosis, comes as a relief to the dairymen.The petitions were sent in months ago, but no decision was made, and each week reports of curtailment of expenditures by Ottawa kept coming through.Now the question is settled.In going over the herds, cleaning up the disease, the inspectors will meet with some opposition.There are, unfortunately, farmers who consider it their right and privilege to sell diseased milk.The number is small, but there are some.To those who are inclined to be antagonistic special attention should be given by their neighbors.The neighbors should fully explain to them the need, the value and the moral obligation, that the tests demand.Our area is offered a great opportunity for progressive health work, and the introduction of the restricted area plan also given the area a greater stock advertising value than ever before.x The Tide of Traffic.Last week-end was not a favorable one for motoring, but the number of cars that came through despite the weather, was a sign of what will come later on.The Caughnawaga highway is going to be loaded down with a heavier traffic than ever before, and the chances for accidents are going to be all the more numerous.Every driver owes it to himself and to the occupants of the other cars that he take proper precautions at all times.The Government also is being called upon to spend more money in making the roads safe.There are some dangerous turns, the worst being at Howick, but all along the road, sharp curves are to be met.West of Huntingdon a double danger spot exists at the N.Y.C.crossing.The curve on the road coupled with the constant hazard of a railway crossing will ultimately take the occupants of some sar to their death.\u2018here is, however, an easy solution there, for the railway Smooth Action LR y age Ri RE \\ , ; - rT Loe - = Power a Economy TRE.1.À Type

States Sturtling figures are being presented in Outariv in connection with the investigation of the Ontario Ag#eul- tural Committee, which is now touring the Province.The following two reports of sessions are taken from the report of a staff reporter of the Globe, Toronto.Brantford, Ontario\u2014Over 100 furm- ers from Brant, Huldimand, Oxford and Waterloo Counties met the Agricultural Committee of Inquiry at tos GeN's session.It was by all odds the largest and most representative body ol farmers by which the committee hus been so far faced.Ones woman, Mrs.Lloyd Jones of Mount Vernon, was present, and spoke from the standpoint of the women oa tae form.[ler own sister-in-luw, she said, had to get up at 4 in the morning in order to assist her son in getting rendy for Brantford market, and to keep going until 10 at night after the returned home.\u201cSeveral young men have left our own neighborhood for United States cities in order to escape such conditions,\u201d she said, \u201cThe remedy?One really effective remedy would be applied if farmers went on strike for a year.\u201d Acres of Good Land ldle.Peter Porter said that in the Township of Burford and part of Brant 2.625 acres of farm lund are standing idle.The total is made up of holdings of 50 to 200 acres cach, and most of this unoccupied area consists of good land well supplied with buildings.\u201cIs lack of use due to the fact that the land is held at too high a price?\u201d asked Mr.Belanger.\u201cNo,\u201d answered Mr.Porter.\u201cTake off the buildings and orchards and there is not a farm in Brant County two miles from the city that will sell for $20,000.\" \u2018Phen Mr.Porter gave the reasoms as he sees them, for all this land being untilled.Buying Power Slumps.\u2018l'wenty years ago,\u201d he said, \u201cnu bushel of wheat would buy 30 pounds of flour, plus bran and shorts.To-day it requires n bushel of wheat with 15 vents added to purchase 25 pounds of flour.\u2018Fwenty years ago one cowhide would buy five pairs of boots for à family.\u2018This week it cost ne nearly half 0 cowhide to have a half-sole put on my own boots.Twenty years ago 40 pounds of butter would procure an svashing machine af that period.It will take 600 pounds -of butter to bring home a modern washing machine, \"Twenty years ago 125 bushels of wheat would buy a binder.It requires 295 bushels to make the same purchase now.We de not object to the money prices we get for our product, but do protest against the vast increase in volume of product required to make n given purchase.\u201d \u2018 \u201cJ.W.Richardson, who represents the third generation on a Haldimand County farm, declared that on a recent visit 10 the West he had found conditions as to farm abandonment infinite- lv worse than anything depicted by Mr.Porter in the case of Brant.\u201cFor ove ahandoned farm here you will find 30 there, und in good sections, too,\u201d he said, \u201cbut,\u201d he added, \u201cif there is not n change soon Ontario will be in as bad a cendition as the Western Provinces are now.On mv own farm, biilt up by two and a half generations of toil, we have gone behind in the last two yenrs and have had to fall back on accumulated resources.Even our land walue has gone down $35 per acre «ince the farm has taken its deflation; the city will have to follow suit.\u201d Blames It on Labor -R, 5, Oliver presented a similar picture from Waterloo County, there be- îng six te seven hundred acres of idle land in his neighborhood, near Galt.One cause of this condition, in Mr.Oliver's opinion, was high freight rates; $25 for hauling a car of hogs 166 miles to Kitchener or $35 to $40 for a car of cattle to Toronto being examples.\u201cNor do 1 think this or any other committee can remedy that condition, because the I.abor unions have the railways trimmed to a finish,\u201d the speaker stated.A story of mounting costs was ond by Fred Luck.Mr.Luck\u2019s taxes have increased from $63 in 1905 to 4225 last year, and his threshing costs from #45 to $95 in the same time.George Wood of * Onondag dealt with the labor aspect of the case.lle required a couple of doors, and was told the price would be $28 each.He ihought the necessary material for $16 and, with part-time help from his hired man, made the doors himself in a dav and a half.He suggested a round- thle conference between U.F.0., man- fncturers and organized Labor as one way of solving the problem presented by \u2018the different speakers.Agricultural Representative

visiting ra- has returned fact us to farm conditions.\u2018\u201cAppalling,\u201d was his characterization of the ler agreed with all the statements of eatent of farm abandonment in Brant County.A Simcoe, Ont\u2014\"In 1913, on my farm of 175 acres, 1 had an income of $150 greater than 1 had from the same farm in 1923, The cost of operating that farm in 1923 was $1,000 greater than ten years before™ a Tivis statement by W.1L Mason, Reeve of Townsend, made before the Agricultural Inquiry Committee today, wits followed by an enumeration of some of the enuses for the different showing in the two years.Sugar ten vers ago was bought dt $660 per 100 pounds, against $0 at present.A horse cottar cost ®7 this spring, although of the sume kind that was purchased for 22.50 the year before the war, Alsike seed wits threshed at a cost of $1.10 per bushel in the past season, and sold ut #5.Threshing cost $1 a bag ten vears since and sold at 12,50 per bushel, Hogs sold al $8.70 to $10 (hen, while now they are bringing $7.50.In the course of the decade, blacksmith- ing, fencing and repairs had ubout doubled in cost, while corresponding advances have heen made in medical and veterinary fees.\u201cThe Consumer's Dollar.\u201d ~ Mr.Mason also drew a striking comparison hetweer producer and consumer prices, Milk for which Norfolk producers receive between 3 and 4 cents per quart costs Toronto sumers over 1154 cents.One reason for this spread was found, Mr.MecBride, M.P., said, in wasteful methods of distribution.In his own city twelve milk wagons with drivers at $23 a week each traversed one street.Comparison in Milk Prices.M.C.Butler, whose farm is near the Town of Simcoe, gave corrohora- tive testimony as to diminishing returns, A year ago last April milk brought $2 per 100 pounds, und, after going as low as $1.50 in June, rose again to $2.04 in Decetnher.Since then the price has declined steudily, until &1.40 was touched in April.That was not the whale of it, either.In March, for the first Lime, # minimnm of 3.5 per cent, fat was called for, and, as herds locally do not average over 3.4 per cent, this means à further redue- tion in price.Corresponding declines have occurs red in butter, Mr.Butler said.In April 1023, this was 51 cents, while, even in the month of December following, it was ten cents less, and in April last was 33 cents, or 18 cents lower than 4 veur 10.Half Cost of Production.F.A.Pratt, Courtland, who supplies milk to a local factory, said he received $1.25 per 100 pounds for 3.5 per cent.milk.That, according to Prof.Leiteh's figures, was only half the cost of production.«Others get the big pay, while we are the prey of allt was the way Mr.Pratt phrased it.\u201cWe are not only discouraged, but we are going to quit if relief does not come from some source,\u201d he added.w.G, Brown, T,ynnville, with nine cows, seven in milk, produced two and three-quarter tons of milk per month and feed cost alone ahsorbed all the returns.Not a dollar was left for wages, \u201cThe law of supply and demand applies to us\u201d he said, \u201cbut jabor and finance have eliminated that law so far as those interests are concerned.\u201d On the Ragged Edge.PT, 1, Martin, St.Willinms, snid not over half the farmers in his section could meet thetr linbilities if sold oul tomorrow, and 75 to 80 per cent, were

red-breasted robin, who pours forth his sweetest notes at sundown, but many again do not know and recognize the song of the song sparrow, the earliest and most tuneful warbler of spring in the city.This bird early invades the city at this season of the year, and is actually the greatest contributor of melody of all the feathered folk in the Eastern Provinces, His metrical and rapturous cow- position of eerle music has often been the occasion of stopping a passerby on the street to listen to the remainder of his refrain and wonder whence it came.Seldom is the answer forthcoming: \u201cIt is the song sparrow.\u201d \u2018The song sparrow is almost tame.Only n few feet away he will sing from a posttop or the lower twig of some humble tree.It is hard to describe the cadences of his ethereal voice.But it is always remarkably sweet, ton- der and clear, The bird is often regarded by ornithologists as a hermit, He is recluse by nature, and often does he sing without obtruding his presence to his rapt audience, That is one of the main characteristics of this singer.Like the green linnet, he has the art of breaking into joyous song from some hidden Quarter as though the wind had paused in its flight to soliloquize with itself about some delectable event never perceived by any human sense.But if he may be seen, it will be found that he is u very small creature, drab and unpretentious, with the general shades of the upper surface browu, und the under, white and streaked with bluck or rufous brown, which tends to form into one large blotch by which this most generous chorister of the city and town may be known, It has been said that a fumous musician once tried to reproduce the song sparrow's notes on a vio- Un, sitting f>> hours listening to il In an endeavor tu catch up every phase of its enthralling note, hoping to create a revolution in music which would convey to the mind more than heretofure the expression of emotions that partly lent themselves to this medium, \u2018There ls no doubt about it that the only summer bird of Canada thut emulates his vocal accomplishments is the Baltimore oriole.As yet he is Anka.\u201d i i | | i Club Restaurant | |

LEE EE TND ESRI THT ATT [ERT Sam « not on the scene.It is probably generally known that the song sparrow lu a ground bird.His nest ia composed of grasses, rootlets and the like, lined with fine grasses and long hairs.Many boys who gelight in the habit of collecting eggs find his the pardest to find, for he threads through the grass when he leaves I(t before soaring into flight and the nest itself appears but à natural nollow in a tiny tuft of encircling grass.The bird that is singing at the top of his voice and from the bottom of its heart at this time of the year, and at all times of the summer, is the small and unassuming song sparrow.Listen and you may hear him at every hundred yards \u2014 Toronto Globe, One of the curious inventions to come under the eyes of patent authorities

entertainment as she gave u number of her readings in her usual manner.Her impersonating in each and every number demanded loud applause on completion.The musical numbers were supplied by Miss Sellar and Mrs, MceCrimmon who opened the program with a piano duet.Mrs, Reece and Dr.Douglas both sang solos while at intermission Mr.and Mrs.Reece played a number of instrumenta} selections.The fact that

Sunday evening as Mrs.(Capt.) Gilbert was going, with a milk pail in each hand, down the stairs leading to the cow stable, when about four steps from the bottom she went over the edge of the stairs and fell heavily to the cement floor, cutting a deep gash an inch or more in length on her forehead.She insisted however, that no doctor was necessary.and the wound was dressed under her own directions, Although also badly bruised and shaken up, with her indomitable courage she was up the next morning and persisted in doing her share of the milking, and ever since, has been attending to her household duties as usual.It may be interesting to note that Mrs.Gilbert is eighty-four years of age, and as full of energy as when she was younger.Lawn Mowers Sharpened at J.A.McCracken\u2019s Garage ==\" === rr \"HUNTINGDON GLEANER

viewpoint of game pior tection it is unfortunate that su any, even well educated people, give so little thought to the various items touching on this broad tubject.: Wheré\u20ac Nature Progressed with- any way by human agents, her balance vas perfectly adjusted apd every form of animal life was pioperly represented.Although the so-called \u201cvermin,\u201d including hawks, owls, weasels, snakes, ete., wus in abun dance, the game, both birds and mammals, was more plentiful than in localities where the vermin was ruthlessly and thoughtlessly destroyed for the alleged protection of game.Prejudice seems to have so generally oveicome a great number of sportsmen that when opportunity offers they kill all kinds of hawks, owls, weasels, and other forms of animal life which they imagine may destroy game.Instead of giving this subject proper study or consideration, they will act on hearsay and in so doing destroy forms which are most useful to agriculture.In the Eastern States, two hawks only, the sharp-shinned and the Cooper hawks, are common enough to be really injurious to game.The gos-hawk, which is more aggressive when present, appears only at intervals in autumn and in winter after periods of several years\u2019 absence, when its food supply is scarce or wanting in Canada.The duck hawk also feeds almo«t exclusively on birds but is so uncsmmon that few sportsmen see more than half a dozen in a lifetime, so thai its inroads on game are hardly worth considering.The great horned owl in the East is aggressive and destroys numbers of game birds and rabbits, but throughout the West, where jack rabbits and cottontails are a menace to agriculture, it does effective service bv feeding almost entirely on these animals.With the exception of the above, all large hawks and other owls feed almost entirely on injurious rodents, some of which ure not only destructive to farm crops but to the eggs and young of game birds as well.Under normal conditions living creatures in perfect physical conditions are able to escape their natural enemies.The predatory animals do not exterminate a species of game but feed on individuals with low vitality caused by injury, disease, or age.Thbse with the highest degree of vitality are getive and have little trouble in making their escape.Those who seem to desire the to- 1al extermination of all predatory animals appear to lose sight of the fact that many of them are valuable in keeping up the virility of species of game.As a good example, it has been pointed out that in some of the game preserves in Europe, where the keepers were very active in destroying vermin, at about regular periods the game almost disappeared by the ravaged of disease.IL was shown that it was impossible for the larger hawks to capture healthy individa- als while, on the other hand, thuy or other vermin consumed the wounded or sickly individuals.By this assistance, game did not decrease in numbers and always was in healthy conditions.During the present time Norway is losing practically all the ptarmigan as a result of bacterial disease.The head of the Biological Department of the Bergen Institute calls attention to the fact that the destruction of hawks and owls enable the young birds affected with bacterial disease to live long enough to associate with compan- fons which would have remained sound if kept separate from the unhealthy individuals.He pointed out that when hawks and owls were present there was some disease among the ptarmigan, but early in life the weaklings were destroyed by their enemies, thus enabling the healthy birds to escape infection, to mature and furnish a good supply for sport.If, however, an enemy with which healthy birds are not {a- miliar is introduced, the effect then is somewhat different.For example, either the mongoose, domestic cat, or mongrel dog is capable of.doing more damage to game than all natural enemies combined.The English sparrow is an example of a species imported to this country aga.nst tlhe advice of experienced men.This bird was introduced for the purpose of destroying caterpillars but, as a logical result, caterpillars were little affected although the crops of wheat and gome other farm products were materially damaged by the birds.In farming districts and sections frairiy welt inhabited, the house cat is one of the greatest menaces 4 1 is known that cats are carriers of disease such as tuberculosis, diphtheria and scarlet fever, so that those choosing them as pets should be on the alert to pre- sion oof the greatest :number of mongrel dogs.They \u2018are sfbus unable to.feed the dogs 1egularly and as a consequence the animals have to draw on Nature fof thelr support, If sportsmen would devote more attention toward controlling the depredations of cats and dogs and less to killing the valuable hawks and owls, an increased game would be insured.Miss Rinkie P\u2019eteh, Hemmingford, wis guest of the Misses Edwards

FOR A MORE SIMPLE LIFE Bringing Times And Conditions Back Te Where Human Nature Fits Westmount guest of Miss Reading Dean Inge\u2019s second volume of \u201cOutspoken Essays,\u201d I came across this paragraph: \u201cTo simplify life by abolishing irrational and unnecessary expenditure would increase our health and happiness, and would perhaps enable us to hold our own against the races of the Kast.\u201d Perhaps it will be worth while to consider a few ways in which life might be simplified und needless expenditure avoided.We can then consider what the results of such action would be on the life of the individual and the nation.Clearly it would be a great gain if all gambling could be abolished.The best estimates put on the amount spent on gambling on horse-racing at about £160 millions a year, with another £80 to £100 millions spent on betting on football and other forms ot sport, Say £250 millions in all There is more dispute as to what proportion of this sum is retained by the bouk- makers, but it is allowed by all that J@ is very great.One noted defender of betting maintains that it cunnot be counted as waste since \u201cno wealth Is destroyed; money is simply transferred from one pocket (that of the better) to another (that of the bookmaker).\u201d This, of course, is simply bad political economy.When 1 spend 10s.at the grocer's the ten-shilling note is not destroyed.And though I consume what I buy at the grocer's it is true that the same bpppens to the goods purchased if they are bought by the bookmaker instead of me.The outstanding fact is that the fruits of an immense amount of hummm labour are paid, owing to betting, to support a perfectly useless, and indeed dangerous, body of men.Two bundred millions a year of wealth might be saved if this pernicious habit could be made as much a thing of the past as dueling or highway robbery.HAIR DRESSING (Graduate of Palmer's Ltd.)
