Member of Imperial Chinese I'roupe .'^ Ion;; Tsu Ciini, of ShariKliai Imperial Chinese Troupe, syniboliz- iiiK the drinkinp: of the "Bitter Tea of China" in native atrobatic pose. M ss (jjm is appearinK as one of the principals in the Chinese Villajre at the Canadian National Exhibition. iVIotoring Signals Should Be Given Imitation is the sincercst form of Haltiry, and the fact that, after strict investigalion on the part of an Am- Brican newspaper editor, the system jf automobile siKnalling followed in this province has been found the best and is recommended for adoption throughout the United States is nat- urally pratifying to residents of On- cario, obs<'rvcs the Hamilton Specta- tor. The majority of drivers in this jrovince, however, have little reason to conprratulate themselves. They jso the "left turn" signal, by extend- ng the left arm, because the law in- ' sts they shall do so; but there are other "courtesy"' signals which are leldom given, .such neglect some- times resulling in accidents which might en.s.ly have been avoided. It is not eften that the intention of turning right is made known to fol'owing motorists, for instance. It Is explained that there are two methods of indicating such intention â€"either by extending the lift arm upwards, or by waving the left hand bi a clockwise motion, "which simul- Uineously indicates a turn to the right and signals the driver behind Ihat it is s;ife to pass on the left Jide." Another signal rarely given is the 'stop' and "slow" sign, indicated by jxtending the left arm downwards. k is very important that the driver Vi the following car should know of »uch intention. If all drivers would rigi<lly observe these simple direc- tions, there can be no doubt that conditions on the streets and high- ways would be immensely improved. Whether the Ontario system is adopt- ed in the United States or no, the survey which has been made will be of real value if it directs the atten- tion of Ontario motorists themselves to the proper signals which should be adopted. In the Old Country there is a more elaborate system of sig- nalling, by which drivers continually indicate conditions ahead, waving on those behind to pass when the road is clear, warning when it is danger- ous to do so, etc. It is not wise, per- haps, to complicate the situation by introducing new methods, but it might be well to insist that the ex- isting signals be more generally given. Stenographers It is certain that the most impres- sive single feature of a great many business offices is the stenographer. She is certain to be trim, alert and business-like, and she is more than likely to be very good to look at; and in any case she shares with such diverse professionals as trained nurses, printers, aviators and steam- ship captains an air of cool, unemo- tional competence â€" sure harbinger that any incoming job will be handled capably and without fuss. Instal a man in an office with such a divine creature at his beck and call and what happens? He immediately, and inevitably, becomes a great letter- writer. He could not do less, if he has a heart. Janx^i 1^ \ FIEET OU/NERS LmcL TIRES MOST ECONOMICAL iiS4SSS»,. Life Saver* und Coca-Cola Companies are two of the many big fleet owners which standardize on Firettonei. Large fleet owners who jMialyze tire costs to the fraction of a cent prefer Firestone Tires for their 'cost-cutting, carefree per- formance. You, too, will 'find them the safest, long-* est-wearing and most economical for your car. . With all their features for safe, long mileage, ' Firestone Tires do not cost one cent more than ordin- airy tires. See the nearest Firestone Dealer and re» place worn tires today. Tmmm HIGH J.PEii TIRES Stutf and Nonsense "Nothing is more plagiarized than humor."â€" William D. Kennedy. Mrs. lirooks called up the local butcher before she went out: 'Send me a quarter's worth of steak," she said, "and it I'm not at home just tell thcra to poke it through the keyhole." Clipped: â€" "If consistency is a jewel, there are a lot of people who are run- ning darned short on jewelry. Mr. Youngluisbaudâ€" "1 tell you, mat- rimony produces a lot ot changes." Neighborâ€" "What's that got to do with the case?" Mr. YoiinghuKband:â€" "VVMiy, for in- stance, In one short year I have been changed from a sighing lover to a lov- ing sire." There must be a "No-man" in every family and in every business; other- wise outgo will exceed income. The Man â€" "I'll bet a coat of tan would bo becoming to you, girlie." The Girl â€" "Ob, thanks, you darling boy. but I'd rather have ermine." We forget our unpleasant experi- ences. Those that were pleasing stand out and become e.xaggerated. It is easy to see why the past Is inclined to seem so much happier than the present. Teacher (in geography lesson) â€" "Now, can anyone tell me where we find mangoes?" Knowing Little Roy â€" "Yes, miss, wherever woman goes." Smile â€" Wo always find ourselves re- freshed by the presence of cheerful people. Then why not make an effort to confer this pleasure on others? It doesn't cost any more to smile than It does to frown, and the dividends are not only greater, but far more de- sirable. Joe â€" "Yeah, he and I are old bunk mates." Sam â€" ''What! You wore roommates at college?" Joe â€" "No, I moan we believe the same kind of bunk," Do you remember the sailor who, when asked what he had done with his wages, answered â€" "Part went for liquor, part for women, and I spent the rest foolishly." Girl â€" "Do you make life-slzo en- largements from snapshots?" Photographer â€" "Certainly, miss. That's our specialty." Girl â€" "Well, let's see what you can do with this picture ot the Grand Can- yon." Kead It Or Not: â€" Queen Inez De Castro of Portugal was crowned with all due ceremony after her death. At The Turn of the Road At the turn ot the road Is a picture that comes to my mind like a dream, 'Tis the little white house ot my neighbor that stands by the side ot the stream. By u stream where the slow gentle current Is fringed by a border of trees," That send out their soft lazy shadows and shelter the birds in their leaves. 'TIs there that the roses ot Junetime reach beauty that cannot bo told, And there In the homo ot my neigh- bor are comforts far better than gold. So over and over the picture that I see ot that little abode. Will bring to me thoughts ot my neighbor and his homo at the turn ot tho road. The average man cannot stand pros- perity, we are told. Which Is prob- ably the reason the average man does- n't have to. "Docs your Inuiband talk In hla sleep?" "No, and It's terribly exasperating, lie Just grins." California Plum Tree Bears 1200-Pound Crop RIVKRSIDE, Calif.â€" H. M. King claims to be owner of the largest pluin tree in tho. world. The seedling tree, about 45 years of age, bears small greenish colored fruit, some of the clusters contain- ing as many as 50 plums, and the total crop weighs close to 1200 pounds, Mr. Kinic estimates. For every thousand feet of height from the ground, the temperature drops 3 degrees. ^SPRAINS HI Hub MinarcJ's In gc Jl penetrates sore li 1 1 allays inflammation, IJ heals.

The weight test was Gl pounds per bushel. In Oneida township, Wesley Peart, 4th line, threshed 280 bushels from nine acres, which is several bushels above the average for the district. BACON EXPORT SOARING The total e.Nport of bacon to the United Kingdom up to the end of April, 11)37, was r)f),602,600 pounds, or 21,000,000 pounds more than for the same period in 1936. In addi- tion to exports to the United King- dom, the United States took double the quantity of bacon in 1937, as compared with 1930, to the end of April. Si.x million pounds of pork have been taken by the U.S. so far this year against 3,000,000 pounds for the corresponding period in 193C. UNDER STATE CONTROL BERLIN â€" Wheat and rye crops have been brought under govern- ment control to safeguard Ger- many's bread supply. Under a de- cree of Richard-Walther Darre, the minister of agriculture. In co-oper- ation with Economx' Dictator Col. Gen. Herman Goering, all wheat and rye farmers must turn their harvest over to a government grain controller. HARD-LUCK FARMER TN'FFMAX, SASK., â€" After se- veral years of crop failure, Sam Mc- Kie bought a team of horses this spring to repla.:e animals that died during the winter. Lightning struck and killed the new team as they were grazing in pasture. FIND PIGS CLEANER THAN COWS AMHERST, MASS., â€" Pigs are among the cleanest of all animals, according to Victor A. Rice profes- sor of animal husbandry at Massa- chusetts State College. "Pigs like to roll in mud to keep themselves warm," he explains. "Pigs have no sweat glands, and this is a process of 'heat radiation' whereby the body temperature of tho animal is regu- lated. They are far cleaner than ei- ther horses or cows." New Brunswick's hay crop is ex- pected to be 20 per cent less than that of last year- Offsetting this is an anticipated bumper grain crop. THE TURNIP APHID In connection with the control of the turnip aphid, entomologists ad- vise the planting of two rows of the white turnips in a field of swedes as a "trap" crop for this insect. These aphids, which cause serious injury to young turnip plants through the feeding on the leaves, commonly reach Canadian points in the late summer, but they may be expected earlier this year and probably to cause greater injury. Past exper- ience has shown that this Insect pre- fers white to turnips, and may ga- ther in huge numbers on a small number of white turnip plants, and leaving the planting of a row or two of white turnips in with the main crops attacks the aphids to the "trap" plants so that they can be destroyed easily with srap or dust or by being ploughed under. The turnip aphid or plant lice make themselves apparent in a field through individual plants becoming stunted in growth and s ckly in ap- pearance. Purple blotches may ap- jiear on tho surface of the leaf and these indicate largo colonies on the under surface. These infested jilants should bo ppUed and removed at once. AUSTRALIAN WOOL CROP SYD.NEY, N.S.W., The Nation- al A.ssociation of Wool-selling Bro- kers forecast the 1937-38 wool clip at 3,M(i,000 bales, of which 82 per cent should bo merino and 18 per cent crossbred. Of this total clip, it is estimated that about 2,800,000 bales will be offered for sale through brokers' stores; the amount offered before Chr'stma.s, it is pre- dicted, will not exceed 1,500,000 bales. On an estimated average weight of .100 pounds avoirdupois, the new clip will run to 913,800,000 TOounds. October 11 Is Set As Thanksgiving Day OTTAWAâ€" A proclamation was puh- llshod recently in the Canada Gazette sotting Monday, October 11, ''as a day of general thanksgiving to Almighty God for tho bountiful crop and other blessings with which Canada has been favored this year."

Indian squaws did most of the paddling and packing in the old days while the warriors fondled their shooting irons and watched tor wild animals and the enemy." Norfolk Apple Crop Increases Expect Production to Riie 15 Per Cent Over Last Year SIMCOE, â€" Norfolk's apple crop this year is expected to ex- ceed the 1936 production by at the least 15 per cent, according to Geo. Wilson, manager of the local cold storage plant. Better quality is also looked for, due chiefly to the abun- dant moisture and the absence of a drouth such as affected the crop last season. Early apples will be quite a heavy crop and Spys will be lighter than last year, Mr. Wilson said. Tho cold storage is running on Transparents at present, which be- gan coming in on the 20th of July. Last year the apples began coming in on the IGth. To date the deliver- ies are up 50 per cent over last year. In the great majority of the com- mercial orchards, control of apple scab is maintained an I side-worm is only prevalent on a few farms. Damage from hail has been very local.
