It may be a.ssumed that none of them has ever visited the wards of a sanatorium and seen the small and perhaps crippled suffer- ers from those forms of tuber- culosis which fomctimcs ori^^inate, with other diseases, in unpasteur- ized milk. â€" Brockville Hecorder and Times. â€" o â€" PRESERVE COUNTY HISTORY Canadiana is much to the fore these days, and it is desirable that the history of each county in the prvoince should be preserved. At a recent Women's Institute con- vention it was proposed that every member should write down the history of their parents, and, if possible, their grandparents. This would accomplish a great deal in presei-ving data, and we would add that some of the tales that have been told us of the deeds done by our forebears should also be incorporated. Our recent pioneer itory competition brought forth • great deal of interesting lore of tsrly dsp on the Bruc« Penin- sula, which is now available for the files of historians. â€" Canadian Echo (Wiarton). Farm Column (Conducted by Profettor Henry G. Belt of the Ontario Agricultur- rI ColIef:c, Guelph, attisted bjr various inemben of the faculty of the O.A.C.) Q. â€" Would you kindly tell me what chemicals contain the great- est aiivounis of available nitro- gen, jihcsphoric acid and potash, to be used in a fertilizer? â€" "K.K. â€"Perth Co." .An.swering yours of recent date which has been referred to my at- tention, I would say thnt as to nitrogen carriers, urea contains the largest ainount of available nitrogen, 45% in all. It takes up moisture very rapidly and tends to form a sticky mass. It is neut- ral in reaction. .Sulphate of amr.ionia is the next highest nitrogen carrier, carying about 20.5*'c nitrogen. This is definitely acid in its re- action. There is a combined concen- trate known as ammo-phos which carries 11% nitrogen and 48% phosphoric acid. N'itrnte of soda carries al>out 16% nitrogen. As to phosphoric acid there are 16% and 20% grades which cany 16 or 20% available phos- phoric acid respectively. The com- bined form animo-phos to which I referred above, carries 48% available phcsphoric acid. As to potash, a common form, muriate, carries 50 to 52% pot- ash and sulphate carrying 48 to SO'/I potassium. Potassium nitrate carrying ap- proximately 44% potash and 16% nitrogen was on the market some time ago. Since this is used in the manufacture of explosives, I doubt if it will be available for tue in fertilizer under present condition;. Last year same poiluh salts tarrying 60 ri potash were offer- ed, but I do not know whether this will be on the market this year or not.

Puck Chasers Topics of the Ontario Hockey Season â€" PERSONALITIESâ€" Frank O'Brien, new captain of the Toronto Goodyears, has been In Senior hockey for seven win- ters. He started with Consols of the old T and Y Mercantile Lea- gue. O'Brien until last season was a good left-vfinger. He now plays the defence. Referee "Beef" McKay of the O. H. A. Senior staff was one of the hardest hitting defence play- ers to come out of Hamilton. Teamed with the famous "Red" Farrell, now a tobacco salesman around Barrie, McKay rounded out Tigers' blue line threat. Gfaoney McGowan, of Port Co!- bome Sailors, is the oldest play- er, for sen'ice, in the Senior O. H. A. "A" ranks. He played many winters for Hamilton before mov- ing to the Canal town. Bobby Laurent, young defence player with Goodyears, was a blue- line partner for Johnny Craw- ford, now with Boston Bruins, with the Junior West Toronto Na- tionals who won the Memorial Cup in li»36. Paul Miindrick, Winnipeg lad playing centre for Goodyears, is just 20 years of age. This is his first Senior year. Vincent Upper, veteran Port Colborne defence star, is one of those double-effective member.^ playing in the Senior O. H. A. "A" series. During the summer Upper plays a rattling good game at secon<l ba.se and even takes his turn on the mound for 'he Port Colborne .Senior club of the Nia- gara Baseball League. F. W. "Dinly" Moore, 0.

The watchmaker, E. Hensler, with the able assistance of the op- tometrist. Dr. C. Ingwersen, per- fected a spoon that swims like a fish and has been used by great numbers of fishermen this last sea- son with excellent results. The two amateur fishing lure inventors started the spoon making for their own use, but found it so effective and so popular that they had to make some for fishermen friends. They arc made of stainless monel metal heads and tails with (Ic.\ible bodies. Why don't you try making your own artifiicial fi.shing lures and baits this year and see vvhiU satis- faction you get when one of your own creations hooks into .nnd lands one of those big ones? ' TOUGH RABBITS A pugnacious white rabbit with a grudge against humanity claim- ed two more victims recently at Arnprior, Ontario, according to repoi-ts just reaching this corner. Jack John.son, son of the Editor of the .\rnprior Chronicle, told his father that he had been attacked by a rabbit. The editor went out to the yard to sec for him.self and the rabbit charged without warn- ing and bit him on the leg. The rabbit was finally repulsed with a broom. Other residents have also reported similar assaults from the white rabbit. It certainly sounds hare-raising! NEWS PARADE... THE WAR: Week by Week Cheer up! It may be a dull war now, but think what wonderful reading it's going to make when the facts come out. They're start- ing, even now. We've learned, for instance, that the first air raid alarm in Great Britain this year was sounded when a British of- ficial flew over London on his way home from a visit to the Duke of Windsor â€" his plane was mistaken for en "unidentified" enemy airship. We know now, too, why the German invasion of Hol- land didn't take place the week- end of Nov. 12 â€" Hitler decided at the last moment to heed the advice of his generals and call it off (because Belgium would support the Netherlands). The in- side story's the thing! Be patient and you'll get it, eventually. As the third month of the war drew to a close the sound of ton- gues wagging could still be heard above the noise of battle strife. Diplomatic interchange had it all over military action. Russia and Finland "dared" each other; Hungary and Rumania; Germany slammed England; England slam- med Germany; Holland protested, Italy railed. Prote.t Export Seizure The .\llies' announced plan to .seize German exports was re- spon:,il>le for a great dcnl of the talk, .\mong neutral countries, the Nct.herlands Wore pet haps hardest hit since, during the first nine months of this year, t<n mil- lion tons of German exports were transhipped through Dutch terri- tory to points abroad.

RumoKs ficw of mines The Book Shelf "CANADA. EUROPE AND HITLER" By Watten Kirkconnell What two and a half million European - Canadians have been reading and thinking about the pre-war crises and the issues of the war itself is here analysed by one who has an uniivallcd know- ledge of their press. For several years Watson Kirkconnell has fol- lowed closely the editorial opinion of the forty foreign - language newspapers in Canada; he has travelled most extensively in the Balkans and in the Baltics in re- cent years, and has more intim- ate knowledge of languages, local customs and history than most Canadians. The author was born in Port Hope, Ontario, in 1895. He was educated at Queen's Univeirsty, Kingston, and at Oxford Univers- ity. Since 1922 he has lived in Winnipeg, where he is Professor of Classics in United College, Uni. versity of Manitaba.

Question was: would the Allies be able to admin- ister to Germany the beating they were taking themselves on the sea? Eyeing Rumania Rumania was the cynosure of all eyes turned Balkanwards in the twelfth week of the war. Resig- nation of the Argetoianu Cabinet resulted in the accession to the premiership of pro-Ally Georges Tatarescu. Rich Rumania has to .wacth all her territory carefully since so much of it was taken from other countries at the close of the first World War â€" Bess- arabia from Russia, Dobruja from Bulgaria, Transylvania from Hun- gary. (Germa^py, too, is interest- ed in King Carol's domain; last week 700,000 Reich troops, fully equpiped for action were report- ed missing for an attack on Ru- mania through Hungary). In the same week Italy's efforts to create a neutral Balkin bloc under her leadership virtually collapsed. Hungary refused to join with oth- er Balkan nations until Trans- sylvania was restored. Air-Training School. At home in Canada engineers and aviators were busy selecting sites for the new air training schools on which work would shortly commence. Forty were ex- pected to be opened during the winter, the total raised to 100 dur- ing the summer months. Some fif- teen of the training centres are in Ontario.

Canine Bellhop Accepted Tips "Mark," a big black Labrador dog, which delighted in his duties of a bell boy in the La.Salle Hotel, Regina, Sask., is dead of old age. Mark used to meet guests as they came in and carry their keys oi parcels to their rooms. He even learned to pick up quarters. He trained himself not to bother cus- tomers at the lunch counters, and at regular periods went to the kitchen for his meals. mo Bee Hive Syrap Role Of Music: To Give Respite The musician's job in wartime must always be to make music â€" "the stuff of dreams" â€" swell above the roar of guns, says Ellen Ballon, noted Canadian pianist. "War," she adds, "is but an Inci- dent in our struggle for a better world â€" music a • never-failing spring of spiritual streugtli to keep our dreams alive." Miss Ballon, who made her musi- cal debut In her native Montreal at the age of 3^, went back there November 28 to make what she likes to call her "second de!)ut". She appeared as soloist !n her first concert since slie broko her foot in a London taxicab accident last year and almost gave up her career. Miss Ballon has volunteered for Red Cross work.
