BROADCASTS NOT SPONSORED BY THE LIBERAL PARTY

Radio broadcasts on current politi- cal matters conducted by W. Harry Ross, Calgary, a former member of the provincial house and at present treasurer of the Liberal party, are not sponsored by the Liberal Asso- ciation.

Last week the Calgarv members of the provincial executive issued a signed statement to that effect and Mr. Ross in turn explained the oni- nions voiced over the air were solely his own.

The statement followed a broadcast bv Mr. Ross in which he charged that the proposed fusion plan represents nothing other than the building up of a new political party in Alberta.

Dominion Will Spend $450,000 on Alberta Road Next Summer

Motor tourists in all parts of the country found fresh cause for enthu- siasm recently when it was announced that the Dominion government pro- Pose to spend $450,000 on further construction on the Banff-Lake Louise scenic highway next year.

Only 32 miles of that highway re- mains to be built while the camps of crews working from the northern and southern ends of the project are only 23 miles apart.

Jas. A MacKinnon, M.P. for West Edmonton, announced that he intends pressing the Dominion government to complete the highway next year, As the $450,000 evidently will be inade- quate, the member says he will urge that a sufficient sum should be voted to finish the road in 1938 enstead of leaving a small hold-over stretch for the next year.

This means that the highway would be opened to through traffic one year earlier than would otherwise be the case.

The fact that work also is proceed- ing on the Big Bend stretch of the trans-Canada highway, 400 men being employed on this project as long as weather conditions will permit this winter, indicates that progress is be- ing made in opening up the west to tourist trade.

Despite widespread drought condi- tions in 1936, a net profit of $39,771.75 was recorded by the Canadian Pool Agencies Ltd., for the 1936137 busi- ness year, according to a report pro- sented by directors of the central selling agency to the 15th annual meeting of the Alberta Wheat Pool last Thursday,

This compared with a profit of $47,071.33 for the preceding year.

The year’s activities had again de- monstrated the strength of the co-op- erative movement on the prairies, the report stated,

The loss in commission revenue from the previous year was approxi- mately $9,950.

This decrease in earnings was largely due to the smaller grain stocks car- ried in country and terminal elevators in addition to the absence of Lake Marine business and shipments out of Churchill,

CARBON OLD TIMERS HAVE FINE GATHERING IN HALL WEDNESDAY

Programme Following Banquet Was Greatly Enjoyed

The Carbon Old Timers’ Associa- tion h eld their annual celebration in the Farmers’ Exchange Hal!, Carbon, on Wednesday, November 24th, The proceedings started with 1 banquet at 7 p.m., at which 115 guests were present, Catering for the banquet was done by the Carbon Women’s Auxil- iary.

After the banquet there was a short programme, which included the Presi- dent’s address by H.M, McNaughton, and short addresses by C.E. Johnson, M.P., and E.P. Foster, M.L.A. Other items were: Guitar Solo, by R. Spry; Song, by Miss Peggy Stansfield; In- dian Club Swinging to old time music, by W. A. Braisher, and a vocal duet by Mrs, C.H. Smith and Mrs, C, A. Cressman, Ramsay Nash also delight- ed the gathering with a humorous speech,

Following the programme the floor was cleared and the dance was com- menced, consisting entirely of old time dances, and continued to the early hours of the morning, with the exception of the break at midnight for lunch.

Music for the occasion was furnish- ed by Mrs, Trainor’s Hill Billies or- chestra of Calgary.

According to figures from the secre- tary of the Old Timers’ Association, there was a larger crowd at both the banquet and the dance this year, apd as a result of the gathering the cof- fers of the Association were swelled by about $15.

WHEAT POOL DELEGATES APPROVE UNIFICATION OF GRAIN COMPANIES

Approval of the proposed amalga- mation of the farm-owned grain the Alberta Wheat Pool and the United Grain Growers “if unification was found feasible and satisfactory” was ex- pressed Saturday by the delegates in Calgary to the annual convention of the Wheat Pool,

The convention went on record as approving further negotiations to be carried on by a two-man committee.

While all arrangements were tenta- tive as yet, it was believed the union would be possible throughout the prairie provinces in view of the reso- lution favoring the proposal passed at the convention of the United Farmers of Manitoba several months ago,

The resolution approved Saturday recommended “that the board of di- rectors continue to participate in any discussion which may take place be- tween the three pool organizations and the United Grain Growers with a view to examining into the possi- bilities of unification between these organizations and that a report be submitted at the next meeting in de- legate, Furthermore, this convention goes on record in favoring the unifi- cation if such is found feasible and satisfactory.”

“The World of Wheat”’ Reviewed Weekly By Major H.G.L. Strange

The high tariff protection given to industry in the United States, now it appears places the Government in a most difficult position,

Agricultural exports, for one hund- red years or more, formed the solid foundations of American prosperity.

Then industry began to expand, and industrial and labor leaders pressed for high tariff protection. This was granted by the Government and _ re- sulted naturally in a decline in the imports of foreign goods into the United States. The inevitable conse- quences then were that the prices of the things American farmers had to buy increased, and the -export sales of agricultural products declined; for these commodities could no longer he purchased as freely, or at the same good prices, by other countries.

American farmers now justly com- plain, but the Government can remedy the situation only by lowering the hich tariffs—against which policy in- dustry and labor violently protest— or by planning to reduce the pro- duction of agricultural commodities, which latter plan would definitely mean, on the whole, a lowering of the farmers’ income, and so of farm- ing families’ standard of living.

Governments can, it seems, by means of high tariffs, expand home industrry and make it more profitable, but only at the expense of agriculture and by adding to the burdens of farm- ing families.

Following factors have tended to raise price:

Further frosts in Argentina, Rains interfere with Austrarlian harvest. Italian wheat acreage may be smaller than a year ago. Holland buys corn. Estimates of Poland’s 1937 wheat, oats, barley and rye production below 1936, Argentine shippers buy back wheat sales, France buys Canadian wheat,

Skating will soon be under way in Carbon also, Bob Rogers has the ice about made, although the warm wea- ther this week has been against the making of much ice. There is now a good coating of ice over the entire surface of the skating rink although it is rather rough yet, There was a possibility that the rink would be open for skating Wednesday night.

MORE ABOUT ARGENTINE FROST

The government of Argentina is- sued a statement confirming damage to wheat from frost in sections of Buenos Aires and La Pampa but in- dicated it was much too early to at- tempt to determine the loss in bush- els. However, it is known that the temperatures ranged from 1 to 7 de- grees below freezing and Western Canadians know that such tempera- tures mean very serious loss.

Importers are trying to minimize the seriousness of the Argentine si- tuation, but it now seems definitely established that that country will not

However, it has many luxurious accommodations not found on the standard Envoy, ineluding armchair seats for four passengers.

Room has been made on the royal airplane for a steward, and the re- freshment cabinet in his charge is located in the rear of the cabin. There is also space for the fitting of an occasional fifth passenger seat by the fuselage door.

A leather screen separates the

cockpit from the cabin, The Air Council, Which placed the order for the royal airplane, decided that radio equipment and a place for a radio operator should be located just be- hind the pilot, and because of this it {was necessary to shift the forward bulkhead about nine inches.

The plane has a retractive under- carriage which reduces air resistance to a minimum and allows the air- plane to cruise easily at 190 miles an hour, The maximum speed level is 210 miles an hour, and the range is 650 miles in still air.

Have you ever started to make a@ cake and when the work was well under way, you suddenly realized that the baking powder tin was empty? If you understand a few of the underlying princ:ples of leaven- ing agents ,you will have very little difficulty. If not, your most likely solution will be a trip to your neighbor's to borrow some.

Baking powder is made up of 50% acid and 25% alkali. The acid used may be a phosphate or a tar- trate. If cream of tartar is used, the resulting baking powder is called a tartrate baking powder. The al- kali used is baking soda. "The re- maining 25¢% is made up of corn- starch. cess moisture and prevents the chemical action starting in the can.

If your recipe calls for two tea- spoons baking powder, the rule is to substitute one teaspoon cream of tartar and one-half teaspoon soda,

The general rule given for the use of baking powder is to use two tea- spoons baking powder to each cup of flour. This may seem a large amount to you but this rule calls for level measurements. The

One teaspoon soda is required for two cups of sour milk, It is also recommended that an additional tea- spoon of baking powder be added for each cup of flour,

If eggs are used, the rule is to de- crease the amount of baking-powder by one half teaspoon for each egg. The egg-white holds some air when

beaten up, so that there is not the|

same amount of leavening agent re- quired,

While these rules apply to all flour |

mixtures, there are slight variations when other ingredients are added, When Graham flour or fruit is added, the same grain is not expected.

HIS BACK ACHED FOR 4 YEARS

Kruschen Put Him Right

For four years, this man’s back ached almost continuously. Now, at 57, he starts the day fresh as a daisy, and his back aches no more.

| Read his story:—

“I had continuous backache for four years. I looked on the black side of everything. Now, I write with extreme gratitude for what Kruschen Salts has done for me. The freshness with which I start my day’s work is perfectly marvellous. After seven days of Kruschen, I felt better and could get up immediately, without any special effort. I am 57, and my early morning dose of Krus- chen is my salvation.”-—J.T.

The kidneys are the filters of the human machine. If they become sluggish, impurities find their way into the blood-stream and produce troublesome symptoms — backache, rheumatism, and’ depression.

The numerous salts in Kruschen quickly coax your kidneys back to healthy normal action. As an im- mediate result, you experience relief from those old dragging pains. As you persevere, you lose your pains altogether.

Sir Hubert Wilkins Not Sacrificing His Distinguished Beard

There are many sacrifices imposed

| upon explorers by ruthless Arctic

elements, but separation from his distinguished beard will not be one of them, Sir Hubert Wilkins admitted at Edmonton.

Although famous Arctic adven- turers often have been bearded men, formation of ice in the facial foliage

|usually has persuaded them to dis-

card the trimmings while in sub-zero regions.

While scorning the suggestion of de-icing mixture, the famous gentle- man-adventurer admitted he was carrying a pair of clippers to the Arctic and the beard would be trimmed short during his far north- ern sojourn.

Advocate A Wheat Institute! To Conduct Researches In Uses Of Canadian Wheat

Formation of a wheat institute to conduct research in uses of Canadian wheats, explore markets and arrange for publicity and advertising was urged upon the royal grain inquiry commission by Henry L. Griffin, director of the research department! of United Grain Growers, Limited,| and supported by George S. Mathie-| son of the Winnipeg Grain Ex- change.

Mr. Griffin was examined by John Brownlee, counsel for the Grain Growers, and submitted a brief out- lining the wheat institute proposal) which was first advanced in another| form in 1934,

Primary purpose of the institute) would be to increase Canada’s ex- port trade in wheat, Mr. Griffin said. That involved direct efforts to in-| terest consumers, bakers, millers! and other processors abroad in Cana-} dian whtat and wheat products.

Among the functions proposed for) the institute were:

Focusing information at present available bearing on the disposal of Canadian wheat;

Commercial and economic research concerning markets for Canadian wheat;

Guidance and exploitation of scien- tific research;

Assistance in formulating the wheat policy of the country, to pro- ducers and federal and provincial governments;

Study of trade relations affecting wheat;

Direct advertising and merchan- dising work on behalf of Canadian wheat and its products.

A start had been made on some of this work by the Canadian wheat board, Mr. Griffin said, and if the board continued in existence it should handle the whole thing. If the board ceased to ex.st formation of an institute by co-operation of all groups interested should be under- taken.

He believed it would be possible to support the work by financial con- tributions from the grain companies transportation companies, elevator companies and other benefiting in- terests without direct government assistance,

Later on as the institute’s work expanded and proved its value a levy of a fraction of a cent a bushel on) all wheat sold for the purpose of financing the institute might be jus- tified.

Had there been continuous study) of the factors relating to wheat) marketing in the past some of the problems which had arisen and were still confronting the country might have been solved, said Mr. Griffin.

For example, he said arrange-) ments might have been made where-| by certain European countries which were bent on encouraging domestic production could have been shown) the advantage of taking a certain amount of Canadian hard wheat for mixing without interfering with their domestic policies. |

Research on use of Canadian | wheat in blending with other wheats should be conducted abroad rather) than in Canada, Some countries’ were attached to rye bread, but it could be shown the quality of their rye bread would improve if flour | from Canadian wheat were mixed with their rye flour.

Besides supporting the institute proposal Mr, Mathieson suggested appointment of special grain com-| missioners in Europe and the Orient to push the sale of Canadian wheat. They would be men of long experi-| ence in the grain trade but not sales

agents.

Dog Eats Berries

Various Other Delicacies, Which Makes It Unique

The other day a brief item crept into the papers about a dog in Ill, named Sport. Sport has developed an appetite for raspberries and obviously the story was sent out on the theory that when a dog bites a raspberry it's news.

We confess that this tribute to Sport caused a faint twinge of jeal- ousy. This column is the proud pos- cessor of a wire-haired, wistful lit- tle dog named Gorgo unsung in story, unknown to song and uncele- brated over the news ticker, who, nevertheless, eats raspberries, straw-

In fact, she is an authentic berry hound. During the Summer season, up in New Hampshires hills on berrying expeditions, she will strip all the blueberries off the lower part |

of the bushes if she isn't persuaded | -

to act merely as a pointer.

A berry diet is by no means her only accomplishment, or aberration, | as the case may be. She is fond of | corn, cantaloupe, puddings, pies, ice cream cones, peaches, olives, and | grapes, which have to be peeled. In-| deed, she eats almost anything which is offered except parsnips and pret- zels, in which she shares a columnar aversion.

But being a very moral little dog, as dogs go, she stoutly refuses to touch alcoholic beverages though she once gobbled a spoonful of beer un- der the misapprehension that it was soup.—New York Times.

Fruit Grown In Canada

Production Last Year Was Valued) At Over $18,000,000

In certain sections of Canada the} climate and soil are eminently adapted to fruit growing, and the | Annapolis Valley, the Niagara Pen- insula and the Okanagan districts are world's famous centres of fruit production.

Experimental shipments of apples from the Annapolis Valley were first | made in 1861, but up to 1890 the annual production of apples by Nova) Scotia rarely exceeded 100,000 bar-! rels. After that there was a pro-| nounced increase in acreage and pro- duction until 2,000,000 barrels were} harvested in 1919. Last year 1,500,- 000 barrels were produced.

In Ontario, where the commercial | production of all varieties of fruit| has reached its highest development, | apples have been grown about two, centuries, but commercial orchard- ing has developed only during the) last 60 years. The building of rail-| ways made the industry possible. |

In British Columbia commercial | fruit growing is of comparatively re-| cent origin, growth in production having been particularly rapid since

1910. From 1891 to 1921 the acre-) age expanded from 6,000 to 43,000 acres,

Last year the farm value of Can-} adian fruit production was over $18,- 000,000, Half of this was due to apples, with strawberries second at almost $2,000,000, and raspberries third at over $1,000,000,.-Canada's Weekly, London. |

“Preedom | In England

Britain Has Been Called The Cradle Of Freedom

Is the full meaning of freedom generally recognized in Canada? In the recent municipal elections in London for members of the County Council a Fascist candidate polled but 27 votes. Not a single Fascist candidate was returned by any of the 29 boroughs, and only one Com- munist.

Mentioning this, The Ottawa Journal trusts that Canadians, and more particularly a certain type of Canadian, will note it well. For it carries a tremendous lesson. The attention called to the result of the London borough election by The Journal is well drawn.

Britain has been well called the cradle of freedom, and in this is con- tained the toleration of freedom of

expression of the views of the in-|

dividual, be it political, religious, or

other matters, so long as this opin-| |ion does not lead others to acts of

violence.

Freedom, as sensed in Britain, does not find its expression in sup- pression. The visitor to Hyde Park in London will soon gain a meaning of this. Here the Communist freely shouts his opinions, and the Fascist parades his views. Neither of them

is taken seriously, in there being a!

reliance on the good sense of the general public, which has been ex- emplified in the results of the Lon- don elections, with not a Fascist and only one Communist returned,

A proposal the Dominion govern- ment build and maintain a scientific stat.on somewhere near the centre of the Arctic archipelago has been pre-

The site proposed for the s is on the northern end of Boothia Peninsula, most northerly mainland of the continent. It would be ad- jacent to the north magnetic pole and on the dividing line between the eastern and western Arctic. Plans would call for the station to be oper- ated in the winter as well as sum- mer with daily observations radioed to the outside world.

Dr, Charles Camsell, deputy min- ister of mines and resources, and his assistants will doubtless take up the proposal with heads of the meteor- ological service of the department of transport, survey branches and other leading scientists in Canadian uni- the government ser- vices to find out whether such a sta- tion would be used sufficiently to be worth the expense.

The plan will likely be submitted also to British and United States in- stitutions which have shown most activity in supporting Arctic expedi- tions in the past.

Magnetic compasses pointing te the north magnetic pole vary slightly from year to year, a phenomen giv- ing rise to conjectures the magnetic pole moves. A station in the vicinity should be able to verify this.

Before a site could be definitely decided, feasibility of air transporta- would have to be settled. One of the chief handi- caps in exploring the Arctic islands in the past has been the short sea- son in which ships can ply them. If scientists could fly

| Lesson: Matthew 11:28-30; He-| | brews, Chapter 4. | Devotional read ng: Revelation 22: |

| 1-5.

| Explanations And Comments | __ Christ's Rest for Burdened Hearts,

Mt. 11:28-30. Come unto me, all ye | that labor and are heavy laden, ‘It seems probable that the words of

verse 28 had reference as Jesus first used them to the burdens that the Law and its rabbinical additions laid upon strict Jews of his day. These | additions had become so numerous and cxacting that it was no exagger-

|) at.on to swy that the people labored |

; under them and found themselves | really heavy laden in trying to live | up to their demands, But it is more than likely that Jesus intended his |; comforting words to have the far | Wider application which has always | been given them through the cen- | tur.es since. And I will give you rest not rest to weary bodies, but to | burdened souls.

The Gospel of God's Rest, Hebrews |; 4:1-11. The last words of the pre- | ceding chapter (verses 17-19), read: | “And with whom was he displeased forty years? Was it not with them that sinned, whose bodies fell in the | wilderness? And to whom sware he | that they should not enter into his ; rest, but to them that were dis- Obedient? And we see that they | Were not able to enter in because of unbel-ef.". Now in the beginning of the fourth chapter the writer argues that these words imply a divine promise of entering into God's rest. “Throughout history God had held out to the world the vision and ideal |of rest and peace, but up to the present the great promise of God had

not been appropriated by humanity. |

The people of Israel might have in- herited it, but their obstinacy and blindness led them to revolt, The psalmist repeated the promise in his day and generation, but once again the people refused to grasp it. The unrealized promise is still available for Christians, if only they will seize the opportunity of making it their own.”

“The word preached did not profit |

them, not being mixed with faith. Faith is simply the soul's grasp, a larger or a smaller act according to

the largeness or smallness of the ob-!

ject grasped; of one size for a fact, of another for a friend, of another for a principle, but always the soul s grasp, the entrance of the soul into its true and healthy relationship to the object whieh is offered to it.

The conference was called under

terms of the 1922 nine-power treaty

which pledged respect for China's territorial and administrative in-! tegrity.

Japan, one of the signatories, re- fused several invitations to attend.

Norman H. Davis, head of the United States delegation, stressed in a key speech at the closing session the importance of continuing ‘“‘earn- estly and actively” the search for a peaceful settlement of the conflict.

He said he was going home for

; that purpose to consult his govern-

ment.

Davis declared suspension of the conference sessions did not “in any sense signify that the problem we have been considering is to be dropped or that our interest in its

solution {s to be in any way less- ened,” The declaration adopted by the

conference said in part:

“The conference is convinced that force by itself can provide no just and lasting solution for disputes be- tween nations.

“It continues to believe it would be to the immediate and ultimate in- terest of both parties to the present dispute (China and Japan) to avail themselves of the assistance of others in an effort to bring hostilities to an early end as a necesary pre- liminary to the achievement of a general and lasting settlement.”

Toy Yielded Fortune

Manufacturer Surprised At Interest Taken In Yo-Yo

The man who made a fortune out of a piece of wood and length of string arrived in London recently. He is Louis Marx, American toy manufacturer. It was Mr. Marx who set half the world spinning Yo-Yo's. Mr. Marx did not invent it; Yo-Yo is something like two hundred years old, and is still a weapon of war in the Philipp’ne Islands. It was when a friend of Mr. Marx told him a couple of Philippinos were amusing the guests at a California hotel with their ant'cs with a piece of wood and a bit of string that Mr. Marx flew by air to California from his New York office, says the Daily Sketch. But even Mr. Marx, who, as one of the leading toy manufac- turers in the States, decided to mar- ket the Philippine weapon of war, did not guess how far h’s Yo-Yo “bug ’ woudl spread. Within a few months the little toy was being manufactured in millions and sent all over the world. Altogether 40,-

Quebec's padlock law, permitting the attorney-general to padlock

premises used for the propagation of Communism, is viewed with ‘gravest misgivings’ in the Dominion capital, Grattan O'Leary, assoc-ate editor of the Ottawa Journal, told a meeting under auspices of the Canadian Civil Liberties Union at Montreal.

“This padlock law violates every principle of liberty,” said the Ottawa editor, “It is not anti-Communist; it is aimed against liberty. In Ot- |tawa there exist the gravest misgiv- |ings about the conscquences of this act.”

At Padlei the constables visited a party of Eskimo who had spent the winter there and heard of the inci- dent which illustrated the changed attitude of the natives who had come to look on the traders as their pro- vider and to make demands upon

selves by hunting as their forebears

|did and as the more primitive natives | still do.

“Kee-Pee, the head man of the natives had sent word to the trader at Pangnirtung that his people were starving and were cating their dogs,” said the report.

“The messenger carried 15 white fox pelts with a note from the head- man demanding such things as chew- ing gum, biscuits, sugar and am- munition in exchange for the pelts. The note, written in Eskimo syllabic, ended up by saying, “If you cannot send these things do not send any- thing at all.”

“The significance attached to the specific articles demanded is that, unless the natives had a very ade- quate supply of meat and a large fur catch, they would, if they really cared about being self-sustaining, have asked for flour instead of bis- cuits and powder and lead instead of

| cartridges, and would certainly have

omitted the chewing gum.”

Auto Racing

Nothing To Be Gained By Hig. Speeds That Are Not Practicable Sir Malcolm Campbell, who has

driven his raging automobile to the record speed of a trifle more thar 301 mijes an hour, is reported to have retired. He will never, so his mechanic says, drive a racing auto- mobile again. Possibly Sir Mal- colm did not fancy the prospect of crowding his luck. In any case, his was a sensible decision.

There is no gain to us in the knowledge that an automobile can be built that will exceed 300 miles per hour, The speed is not practical and, except for sensational purposes, it is insane. In all likelihood Sir Malcolm's record will one day be broken, but without profit to civil- ization.

Our man

grandparents doubted that would ever attain, via his mechanical achievements, a speed of one mile a minute. There are tew automobile drivers to-day who have not driven a car that fast, or faster. We have seen what the price is, in part. The need in transport now is not for more speed, but less; not for greater thrills, but fewer. Sir Mal- colm intends to live a little while longer. So ought we resolve.— Portland Oregonian,

“Now let me_ see,” said Grig, mentally taking a horse-census of} the community. He wagged his

large round head, and his lips moved. | then, suddenly, he said, “Ralph!” “Beg pardon?" said Ernest. “I must see a man,” said Grig. “I: think he will let me have just the; ‘orse you want. Would you mind! keeping an eye on the plice whilst I'm gone? My old lady would do it,

but she’s in the ‘ospital with our new twins.” “I don't know anything about

bars,” said Ernest. |

“Oh, that’s quite all right, sir,”| Grig assured him, “All my customers— knows what they want, where it is, and ‘ow much to pay. Be back in arf a mo.” |

He puffed off down the high street, | trilling “Kiss Me Again,” a 220) pound lark.

Ermest eyed with misgivings the beer pumps and the array of bottles, and prayed that no thirsty Penny-) tonian would drop in for a quick one | while he was the incumbent of the bar. |

Nor did one for a full six minutes, |

and then a dirty girl came in, plainly, {n a hurry. She appeared to have} recently emerged from the lubrica- tion pit of a garage for her khaki overalls were splotched with grime and her face looked as if she had) been using axle-grease for rouge. Carroty hair straggled messily from under a stained cap which looked as if it had never been new.

Ernest stared at her stared at him,

“Do I look funny?” she asked.

“Yes,” said Ernest, involuntarily. “Well, that is, not very funny.”

“Thanks,” she said, “Small mild.”

“Beg pardon?” said Ernest, un- certain whether she was giving an order or a description of herseif.

“Small mild,” she repeated.

“What is?”

“Ale, of course,” she said,

“Yes, yes, of course,” said Ernest, as he groped for some clew to the location of the mild ale.

The girl watched him. |

“New here, aren't you?” |

“I’m not here,” said Ernest, who hadn’t had much practice talking to girls, “that is, I'm here but I’m not here j

“Let's forget all about it,” said the girl. “I’m in a tearing rush. May, I have my drink, please. If you push down the right-hand gadgets you may accomplish something.” |

Ernest depressed the pump-handle and fluid and foam gushed into a pewter mug. |

“Thank you," said the girl, and emptied the mug. She laid three coins on the bar, |

A whistled arpeggio heralded the return of Grig.

“Ralph is ere,” he announced,

“Bring him in,’ said Ernest.

The host of the Happy Gander ex-! ploded into bellows of laughter. |

“Ralph is a norse,’’ he said.

“Thats right, Jarge,” chorused the onlookers.

“Fancy me forgetting that,” said Grig, as if it were the most natural thing in the world for a horse to refuse to start unless primed with beer.

Grig disappeared into the Happy Gander and presently emerged with a full pail of bitter ale.

Ralph saw the pail, and showed teeth like the keys of a spinnet in a pleased grin. It took Ralph but three and a quarter seconds to ab- sorb the beverage. Then he gave a a hiccup, and launched himself into space. Down the high street he went with Ernest bouncing on his back like corn in a popper. Ralph nickered and whin- nied in a festive way and now and then turned his rubbery neck and leered at Ernest. Somehow Ernest managed to steer his charger around the left turn and into the shady lane which led to the castle. Once Ralph stopped to make a light lunch of ivy and privet, and once he paused in the deer-park of the castle to ogle,

He answered the specifications as} to size, for he was quite the biggest horse Ernest had ever seen. He look- | ed as if he had been designed by a ferry-boat architect. He had per- cheron hips, a balloon body, and a neck so long and supple it suggest- ed that his mother had been fright- ened by a swan, At the end of the neck was stuck a head which looked as if it belonged to a smaller animal, part horse, part llama, and had been} attached to Ralph, by mistake, in the} assembling room, |

for you.” “Thanks.” } Ernest approached his mount with, the intention of swinging into the!

ner of a Scout hero, but when he essayed so to swing he discovered | that either the heroes were more) athletic than he, or the horses were less lofty than Ralph. Although | Ralph remained as stationary as the wooden horse of Troy, Ernest could) not scale his extensive and promi- nent flanks and in the end had to be! the obliging Grig. Once aloft Ernest had some of the disquieting sensations of a green gob on his first trip to the crow’s! nest.

“There you are, sir,’ said Grig.

“Yes, said Ernest, a little shak-) ily, “here I am, Now where is the, castle?” |

“Just go down the high street, sir, take the first left hand turn, and re-| main on the dirt road, It will lead you straight to the castle gate,” Grig told him

“Thanks,” said Ernest. “Off we! go!” But off we did not go. Grig cast

off Ralph as if he were a tug, but! Ralph did not budge from his moor-! ing, but remained immobile, pen-| Sively licking the paint on the lamp- post. Ernest beat a tatoo on Ralph's: ribs with his heels, but he might as! well have tried to impart motion to the Rock of Gibraltar. Giddaps, | not

Grig joined the siege and belabored Ralph's conspicuous crupper with re- sounding thwacks of a meaty palm, but Ralph ignored physical assault and verbal pleadings alike.

The sight of that noble edifice caused Ralph to simper and grow skittish. He began to pirouette and prance and even to stagger a little. Ernest adhered to his saddle first by gripping Ralph's copious mane and then by encircling his elastic neck with two desperate arms,

His entrance to Bingley Castle was not precisely as he had planned it, but, in any event, there he was.

Postman Had To Decide Where To Deliver It

Baker Street is not what it was in) the days of gas lamp and hansom cabs, and the postman with a letter in his bag for Sherlock Holmes may well be puzzled. The Post Office Lon- don Directory gives no help in find- ing the rooms that Holmes shared wth the amiable Dr. Watson at “221B Baker street’; although it shows that the gap between premises

numbered 219 to 225 is filled by! Abbey House, This is the headquarters of the}

Abbey Road Building Society, and several business concerns also have their offices there. So the postman who recently found himself carrying a letter with a foreign postmark for! “Mr. Sherlock Holmes” at the old) address seems to have concluded, that an ageless detective might have} relinquished his bee farming in Sus- sex to start a new career as a com- pany director, At any rate, he picked upon the Abbey House, and delivered the letter at the offices of the British Home Stores, Limited, on the third floor. Whether this was a neat offic'al joke or the result of some mysterious processes of reason- ing would have formed a pleasing subject for a professional discourse | by Holmes,

It was found that the letter came from an elderly woman in a small town in Denmark, who respectfully | asked for a little charitable assist-) ance for herself and her husband in ;the hard times which have come upon them through business mis- fortunes. These two pens‘oners) | Sought the detective’s help in start- ing a shop and the writer concluded: “I am quite sure we shall have the! pleasure of hearing from you.”

panies at New York. Canadian medi-) cal men generally are not inclined to place much confidence in this theory. However, they seem fairly well agreed that the virus gets into the human system through the upper | | passages of the nose and the effect, of ragweed or other pollen might | be to obstruct drainage capable of carrying the infantile paralysis germ |away.

As the momentous hour of eleven! o'clock was announced by the boom-

jing of Big Ben in Westminster, the

television sight and sound camera was focussed on the cenotaph. In homes equipped with television sets the astonished fans saw a man sud- denly plunge forward from his place in the direction of the Royal party They saw him seized with alacrity and over- come by the police, They saw their courageous Sovereign stand motion- less and calm. They heard the wild ery of the disturber: “All this hypocrsiy—you're deliberately paring for war.”

Thus was an unfortunate but derstandable episode fraught

Gay Lights For The Farm Might Be Used As Traps Vor Crop- Damaging Pests

We are intrigued by a dispatch from St. Paul which holds out the prospect of a time not far distant when a drive through the country at night may present the appearance of| a gayly lighted street carnival with red lights in one field, blue lights in the next and green in yet another,

Such is a development in farming predicted by Dr. A. A. Granovsky of the University of Minnesota farm on basis of experiments. Already Dr. Granovsky has one gayly lighted farm in operation near the outskirts of St. Paul.

Back of it all is Dr. Granovsky’'s discovery that certain insects are attracted by particular wave lengths When his research is com- pleted Dr. Granovsky believes it may be quite possible to lay down rules

GIRLS WHO HAVE NO BOY FRIENDS

Quick Easy Way to Get Charm

Girls who don’t attract boy friends wonder why. Beautiful, perfect features are not the reason. Cleopatra and famous women were often ugly. Have nice skin, plenty of animation, and watch out for your figure— you'll be surprised how popular you are. So many girls have poor complexions — no life — their figure slipping, and don’t realize it. Take “Fruit-a-tives” and you'll soon be amazed how different and how attractive you've become. It purifies your blood, makes the skin pores work, gets rid of waste and poisons, gives you new energy, prevents flabby tissue from forming. “Fruit-a-tives” gives you new charm. 25c., 50c.

The first bank to help finance the improvement of the St. Lawrence Waterway, through the assistance it gave to the building of the first Lachine Canal.

From its inception the Bank of Montreal has held the confidence of the Canadian people. Today that confidence is expressed in the fact that the Bank holds more than one million deposit accounts, equal to a deposit account for one in every ten persons in the entire Dominion,

Canadians naturally expect, as the sequel to such a record, that this Bank will retain the spirit of the pioneer in co- operating with the future business life of the nation,
