Price in Canada |2.00 per year, when paid in advance |1.60; in U. S. A. $2.60 per year, when paid in advance $2.00. F. J. THURSTON. Editor. EDITORIAL COMMENT CEYLON Again we must chronicle the pass- ing of another district editor, in the person of Frederick B. Elliott, editor of the AUiston Herald, who died on Sunday in his 64th year. Editor Elliott has been in AUiston for almost 28 years and his paper was always in the van with progressive leadership. His passing will be a loss to the town and the organizations he was inter- ested in and he will be hard to veplaca His widow and daughter have the sincere sympathy of his fellow editors in their great loss. • » • Italy again has taken the bit in her teeth and forcibly added Albania to lier list of possessions when the soldiers of Mussolini marched last week and ou.stod King Zog from his domain. It is supposed that Italy has designs on Greece, but Britain and France have warned that Greece must be left alone. It is hoped that Mussolini will heed the warning and keep his armies at home and not force a show down at this time. It must be remembered that Germany is not as strong now, nor has as great a population, as was entered in the Great 'War. At that time the Turk- ish empire was her ally, and a for- midable one. It is not likely that she would be found on the side of Ger- many at the present time. It doesn't pay a m»n to travel fast if he is on the wrong road. It takes more than a nice big .spot of winter to get some fellows down. Some around here are already begin- ning to think about trout fishing. Bathtub singing is said to be an old Indian custom which may explain why so mucli of it sounds like was whoops. »' Murphy Paints «W NARVO Easter and week end visitors in the community were: Miss C.

He stated clear- ly that a solution to the problems would not come by methods of laissez- faire but only to the extent that we applied our united intelligence to the task of readjustment. The cry of the conference was for the right of agriculture to control its own business, in all its phases, and to have such powers as were necessary conferred upon it by pro- vincial and federal marketing legis- lation.

Thone 70 Flesherton Bewhiskered Adam's Apple Plastic aurgei-y has advanced with leaps and bounds in recent years, but l)lastic surgeons are still having their troubles. One doctor had a man's inner throat to patch and the only skin he found suitable was on the man's neck. The surgeon operated and grafted the skin of the neck to that of the throat quite successfully. But, according to the medical report, the strip from the neck grew a beard and prevented the luckless patient from swallowing his food. â€" The Commentator. ^ WHy I BOUGHT ^^^ TlTE-tAPyoOflHC AHEAD ^ X Of ALt-^OTHERSI N, mh\ m M A "I needed a new bam roof and I went into the matter very care fully .The annual report of my mutual insurance company showed that last year out of 16 fire losses 7 were caused by flving embers, and 3 hy light- ning.

Aadmt Dtpt. 908, Much agricultural legislation was introduced this last week, but just what the new wheat aid proposals are had better be left until all the legislation is done. And, in relation to cheese, the Dominion government proposes to bonus by two cents a pound on all cheese going ninety- three points or better when graded. It is estimated that about sixty per cent of first grade cheese will qual- ify for the bonus and fifty per cent of all cheese manufactured. The idea is to divert milk into cheese rather than butter and to encourage high quality cheese production. Grants will be given for the construction, renovation and equipment of cheese factories. Cheese has been singled out for special attention by the government because it is "the balance wheel" of the industry. Surplus milk can best be handled in the form of cheese and it is the only dairy product for which Canada has an assured export market. The government talks, too, of buy- ing a large quantity of butter to distribute to those on relief. It will lighten the surplus and tend to raise the price. It seems a sensible idea. I am spending Easter tending my aching ears, and I dislike it very much. â€"AGNES C. MACPHAIL. OTTAWA Saturday, April 8th, 1939. Hudson's Bay Company Will Pay Rent to King George VI Impressively mounted and awaiting the arrival of the King and Queen in Winnipeg are two proud elk heads and two rare black beaver skins. This is the historic rent which the Gover- nor and Company of Traders trading into the Hudson's Bay Company prom- ised to pay to King Charles II. The tribute was stipulated in the Royal Charter of May 2, 1670, but it was to be paid only when the King or his heirs or successors came to the Comp- any's territory. Royal visits to the Canadian West being infrequent, the rent is now being paid for the second time in two hundred and sixty-nine years, the first occasion being when the Prince of Wales visited Winnipeg in 1927. Both elk and beavers ar« choice specimens. The beavers are gleaming dark, the pick of sixteen thousand skins in the Company's London auc- tion rooms. The elk heads are mounted on massive oaken shields from which the antlers spread for ten feet. Their total weight is some- thing over two hundred pounds, and as the many pointed antlers make them awkward to handle, their pres- ence will merely be indicated to His Majsty when the Governor of the Company officiates at the formal cer- emony of paying the tribute. Feed For Poultry The nutrients in eggs are present in entirely different proportions from those in grain and unless the hens are given additional feeds to level up the differences production is dis- appointing. Feeding poultry entirely on grain, and only one grain at that, is the least profitable practice followed on most farms. To keep the hen in good condition and supply egg in- gredients in the correct proportions, so that each egg represents the least possible feed intake, it is necessary to supply a mixture of ground grains, proteins and cod liver oil, besides a scratch mixture of two or more grains. Oyster shell is also required for shell formation, and a good sup- ply of drinking water is essential.

Duncan, Auctioneer Possibility of Summer Cream Market We have had a lot of inquiries as to the probable market for cream this summer, and while we are not attempting- to predict future markets, yet we are looking- for a fair butter market this summer. The depressed market this past winter was caus- ed by an exceptionally heavy production the previous summer, the cheese market being low was largely responsible for the heavy surplus of butter. This coming season the Government is seriously consider- ing bonusing the cheese industry and that is why we are looking for a fair or even a g-ood butter market. FOR BEST RESULTS IN MARKETING YOUR CREAM AND EGGS, SELL TO Flesherton Creamery & Produce Co. Phone 66 Chas. Goddard, Manager Bands Need Support Harold Rowbottom, leader of the bands at Tara and Paisley, is trying to get a boys' band in Flesherton. During the past year or so both AUiston and Markdale have revived their bands, and if Flesherton comes back into the fold again it will almost be like old times. The big difficulty in carrying on municipal bands these days is that they do not receive the support necessary to provide the re- quired revenue to keep an organiz- ation healthy. Most community bands receive a grant from the ratepayers and in return are expected to perform at civic functions and provide the usual public concerts. Unless a bana receives engagements on top of this, at a fee, it is extremely difficult to do the necessary financing and keep the players interested. The public in general likes to hear band music, but organizations promoting summer events of the kind popular in these districts have, particularly since 1929, completely ignored their bands and turned to substitutes â€" or done without entirely. The commun- ities trying to revive their bands now- adays have given the promoters a tough job â€" and a fairly thankless one. We don't know how much we need a band until we haven't got one, and unless these new organizations â€" ^and the ones still struggling too â€" are backed up by the public, they will last a very short time. â€" Shelbume Free Press and Economist.

A little girl produced this sentence: the Armistice was signed on the eleventh of November, 1918, and since then we have had two minutes' silence every year.
