Further, we’d like to tell Br’er Eedy’s constituents that the eats provided by the host church were the best the branch has en joyed. All in all, St. Marys has set the pace as a host town. QUEER ISN’T IT? Dr. Wood's Norway Pine * Syrup Don’t Blame Mother For the Children’s Colds Despite all the mother can do the youngsters will run out of doors not properly dressed; have tod much clothing on; got overheated and cool off too sud denly; get thoir feet wet; kick off the bod clothes, and do a dozen other things tho mother cannot prevent. Mothers will find a few doses of Dr. Wood’s Norway Pino Syrup is all that is necessary to chock the colds before any serious trouble may develop. Tho children will like it too, it is so pleasant to take. For salo at all drug and general stores, When hard times- come there always is the cry, “Back to the land!” When times are booming in the city or town and the farm er cannot get labour at anything like a reasonable price the cry “Back to the land!” dies down. The farmer is forgotten. When times are stressful Farmer Gray wonders why the city folk don’t cry “It’s up to the druggists and the jewelers to provide for the unemployment and the suffering.” Were the plea for relief put up to the lawyers and the miliners we’d soon be told that these occupations are skilled industries in which the average man can not get on without previous training. Yet these same people talk as if farming were a line of work requiring nothing but a strong back and a weak mind. On the contrary, farming that is worth a snuff is a highly skilled occupation, requiring constant care, the soundest of judg ment and delicate work. In regard to. financing none but the ex perienced and the widest away may hope to secure a living there from. That is a simple fact, patent to everyone familiaf with farm conditions. Let no one be deceived. Yet it is to' farming that' govermnents and other bodies ask men and women utterly un skilled therein to turn to find relief! No folly could be more egregious. dictators coming? Are we going to (have political dictatorship in (Almerica? It seems that that form of rule is taking root in the U. S. A. The N. Y. correspondent of the London Times has the following: “It is safe to say that no political figure in the United States is to-day attracting more attention than Senator Huey Long, the self-styled King-fish of Louisiana. For* some time the American people have been increasing in curiosity and con'cern about the un disguised dictatorship which Huey Long .has succeeded in establish ing in his home State and the steady spread of his power* in the territories of its neighbours. And now, during the past few weeks, they have seen ihim emerge at the forefront of the national stage as one of President Roosevelt’s most vitriolic and active critics, the leader of a growing Radical agitation, and a potential independent candidate for the Presidency at the 1936 election. Huey Long, a man of boundless ambition and energy, is able, resourceful and eloquent. He possesses at the same time an anusual degree of personal magnetism. With the aid of these gifts he es tablished his dictatorship in Louisiana. To-day they are being used to further his “Share the Wealth” agitation and this Presiden tial ambition.” Continuing the paper comments: “T'o the small farmer, the urban workingman, and even the humbler members of the so-called white-collar class, Huey Long has brought many material benefits. He has given them free fer ries and free bridges where high tolls were previously levied: he has iforced the gas and electricity companies to lower their rates; ho has built handsome schools and provided iree School-books and even- free school omnibuses for tiheir children; he has introduced travelling public libraries in the country districts and replaced a highway system compased chiefly of muddy lanes with 5,000 miles of good roads. Huey Long has built up his power by extending lavish -pat ronage to all ihis active supporters and varied material benefits to the masses. His reckless bounty has raised the public debt of Louisiana from little more than $10,000,000 to around $145,000,- 000. It has likewise doubled the State Budget. But since 70 pet cent, of the population has been relieved of all direct taxation, his beneficiaries are not greatly disturbed by tiliis side of the picture. Only the well-to-do and the commercial and financial interest's fall victims to the crushing taxation which bolsters up his dictatorship.” HIS LUMBAGO HAS NOT COME BACK Keeps Free of it with Kruschen There can be no doubt about the effectiveness of the remedy this man uses against lumbago. Read his let ter:— “About four years ago, I had a bad attack of lumbago. After being in hospital for two weeks taking heat treatments, I started taking Kruschen Salts. Since then, I am happy to say, I have not been troub led with lumbago. I shall still con tinue taking Kruschen to be sure the lumbago won’t come back.”—A. C. C. Why is it that Kruschen is so ef fective in keeping lumbago at bay? Simply because it goes right down to the root of the trouble, and removes the cause, which is an impure blood stream. The six sa'lts in Kruschen keep the bloodstream pure and vig orous by promoting a clockwork regulatity of all the organs of elim ination. BEQUEATHS $68,855 Colonel, the late Robert Stanley Hays, K.C., Seaforth barrister, who died suddenly in Toronto on Christ mas Day last, left an estate of $68,- 855.93. The will has been probat ed.

Toronto General Trusts Corpor ation and Annie M. Hays are ex ecutors and trustees. THE LONGEST DAY June 22 will be the longest day of this year in Great Britain and that part of the world. Next year it will be June 21, because 19 3 6 will be a leap year, and will bring back the solstice one day in the calendar, that being actually the reason for the in terpolated day. Because the tropical year is about six hours longer than 3 65 days, the solstice, or the arrival of the Sun at the highest point of its path, happens six hours later in the calendar year by year, but the extra day in leap year stays the retarda tion. For this reason the date of the solstice, which this year is at 9 a.m. on June 22, varies between* June 21 and 22, ®o that either of. these may be the longest day. TO BE HIGHWAY Goderich, May 20—The County of Huron has received official notice from the Department of Highways to the effect that the Blue Water High way, from Goderich to Owen Sound, ha® been taken over by the Province as from noon, on May 15th. CUTWORM CONTROL Although th© farmer knows much, about the matter, the amateur gar dener little suspects that long be fore he sows bis highly-prized seeds an enemy has been waiting in pre paration fo.r immediate assault. This is the cutworm which attacks all kinds and conditions of plants, and, ao far as agriculture is concerned, is such a menace that each year the Dominion and Provincial Depart ments of Agriculture publish the latest intelligence on the most ef fective means of counteracting the ravage® of this destructive past. Bran bait, says the Dominion De partment of Agriculture, has given most effective control for many years and it is made up as follow®: bran 20 pounds, Paris green £ pound molasse® I quart and water about 2% gallons. In making the bait, the dry ingredients should be mixed thoroughly first. The molasses is then stirred into the water and this solution added to- the bran and Paris green. In mixing the bait, only enough water should he added to reduce the material to the consist ency of wet sawdust. The mixture must not be made sloppy but should be so that it will crumble in the -hands and slip through the fingers easily. 'Land that was heavily in fested last year should be treated before the plants are get out. This is done by broadcasting the bait at tihe rate of 15-20 pounds per acre a few nights before transplanting. The bait should be spread in the even ing® just before dusk, and, if pos sible, on a still warm night. Marriage is a game of give and take. What you don’t give the wife takes.
