North America -is’ rapidly approach­ ing the tjmp, "when supplies of cattle j^ill pot, meet the demand. Prices Of stoekey pnfl feeder cattle during the past eighteen months have been most satisfactory from the view­ point q£ the producer, and large ^umbers yearlings and calves have been marketed,, meeting with a good demand. Owing to a prema­ ture feeling that an acute shortage of cattle existed, prices during, the summer and early fall of 1928 disproportionately high and reaction resulted. Statistics the livestock: census- of 1928 that the number of cattle in C; da at the end of June 1928, about 400,000 less than the number' in June 1927. In this connection it ■is interesting to know that purchas­ ers from the United States have been buying beef and dairy stack in all FUNERAL AT SHTCHELL OF MRS. A. Xi.

I i r i << I I s r i I j j I * •t The ne Company and the American Company Bell Telephone American Tele-THE relationship between the Company of Canada and the phone and Telegraph Company consists of:— 1. ytock—the American company owns thirty-one per cent of Bell Telephone Company shares. 2. contract—the Bell Telephone Company owns a contract by which the American company sup­ plies research products and other services on a sliding scale of payment. The stock relationship has existed since the Canadian company began in 1880, One-third of the $400,000 needed to form the company was not available until the American company agreed to provide it. The contract was made in 1923 to put dealings be­ tween basis. if the the two companies on a definite business It my be terminated at the end of 1932 Canadi^i company so desires. effect of stock relationship rFHE telephone system in Ontario and Quebec today is owned by 15,300 shareholders. Of these, 95 per cent live in Canada and own 62 per cent of the total shares. The largest individual holding As 1510 shares whichi Is one quarter of one per cefit of the total. -The average individual holding is .§7 shares, which yield an income of $216 a year. The Bell Telephone Company$is thus a great enter­ prise which has become thoroughly democratized and to this the American relationship has contributed two definite advantages: First, it has been a.sourcenew money for devel- pany, as a shareholder , in good times or bad, o extend the system to opment.

It is plan­ ned to continue the journey from North to South America without an intermediate landing. LZ127 has a gas capacity of 105,- 000 cubic metres and will be able, to cover 3,750 miles without having to land. Given favorable weather con­ ditions it expects to make the North Atlantic crossing in from 60 to, 80 hours, and the crossing to Buenos Ayres, South America, in from 90 to 100 hours. The claim for the Zeppelin’s speed and radius of action is largely based on a revolutionary method of fuel­ ling, designed to reduce the weight which must be carried for this pur­ pose. The airship motors are to be fuelled with a new gas-mixture/no heavier than air which will be stored in great quantities in compartments in the body of the airship. It is claimed that by this method, for long voyages, a dead weight of 30,000 kilograms will be saved. Day and night shifts are working at Friederickshaven, and Commander Burney’s statements have intensified the efforts being made with a view to Germany winning the dramatic race for the first passenger airship flight across the Atlantic. afternoon, within the have since over.

A romantic episode marked the be­ ginning of her meteoric career. A slim, blue-eyed navsd cadet, appear­ ing one day in the ante-chamber of King Frederick VII. of Denmark, pushed a way through the crowd of eourtiers to the king and announced that "he” was a girl named Rosalind .Thomsen. Shq revealed her ambition^., to become an actress and to appeay Mi the ' Royal Theatre in Copenhagen^. She had donned the cadet’s costume, as otherwise Bhe-would never have- be*n able to reach the king. King Frederick interested himself in the girl and helped her to realize her ambition.

It 1* to be planted in a lake in.the garden of a Romanvilla, where the water will represent the Mediterranean. It is to be such a big map that all the mountains of Italy, from the Alps and the Apennines to Cape Pas- s&ro, can be put in, and everything eke is to be modelled to scale— rivers, lakes, railways, and cities old and pew. Lake Neml, Where the Em­ peror Caligula’s sunken galleys are, will be there, and sro will Venice with tte canals, and Siena, and Florence, and all the. hill towns, and thoae? which glitter In the plain. So the young Italians will be able to walk round the lake, which is in the grounds of the Villa Umberto, 'and in a few minutes see what ths land they were born iu Is like'' and' the many reasons it gives them to bo proud of it.

Ordinary rain water is water distilled by nature. We can catch a supply of it in a large basin. Wait until it has rained for half an hour or more to wash the dust from the air. Rain water from the spout is all right, but at least an hour should be allowed’ for washing dirt from t.ho roof and gutters. Then keep the water in’ a large glass bottle or jar with a tight ■stb$peri, Do not keep in a metal1 container. ‘ Snow IS also first-rate.
