MTLLIOy WOMEN
AIDING RED CROSS
Workers Riving Up to Highest Tra
ditions, Says tfoinmerville
A million Canadian women are
engaged today in the task of re
lieving suffering through work for
the Can’adian Red Cross Society,
Norman Sommerville, chairman of
the society’s central council, star
ed last week at the annual meet
ing of the Ontario division.
Canadian Red Cross workers
were “living-up to the highest tra
ditions of the Red Cross.” As for
co-operation from the general pub
lic, citizens in one province were
•paying more money to the Red
Cross “than for the province’s en
tire income tax.” x
He said the Red Cross would
play an indispensable role after the
war in relieving hunger and suf
fering, particularly in Europe.
Col. G. Q. Nasmith, former over
seas commissioner of the Canadian
Red Cross Society, said the organi
zation distributed 5,000 blankets
to homeless residents of East Lon
don after the heavy German air raids
last fall.

Ni^
Coughs
Terribly wearing on the system is
the cough that conies on at night
and prevents sleep.
Sometimes it is the constant cough,
Cough that will not be quieted.
Sometimes it is a choked-up, stuffed*
up feeling that makes breathing
difficult.
Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup is
the remedy you need to give you
relief, for the reason that this prep
aration contains the healing virtues
of the Norway pine tree with which
is combined wild cheriy bark, and
the soothing, healing and expectorant
properties of other excellent balsams,
barks and herbs.

We wish you and your family
every joy and happiness in your
new home and we ask you to accept,
this lamp as a slight token of. our

May Divine Providence ever keep
you, is the wish of all your fellow
workers and a warm welcome awaits
you whenever you may have the pri
vilege to visit among your former
friends.
Rosary of Friendsv
Always when the old year ends,
I clasp my rosary of friends,
And pause to breathe a thankful
prayer.
For every bead of friendship there.
And always first I count the old,
Each one a bead of shining gold,
Worn smooth by constant burnish
ing
Of joy -that old-time friendships
bring. »
And there are others shyly new,
Out of the blue shadows farthest
blue,
Like Homing birds these hearts
have flown „
To find dear lodgement in my own.
Friendships are life’s best gift .to
me—‘
Oh, may I guard them tenderly—-~
And closer hold each heart . God
sends
To bless my rosary of friends!
Signed on behalf of the Ladies’
Aid and W.M.S. by twenty-four
members of those societies.

NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
It is strand® how near the truth
fables come sometimes, but still,
why not? That is the way the
“Ancients” had of teaching a les
son, by illustrations. And speak
ing of Fables—'Here’s one that’s
not so ancient.
The Price Cutter and the Ass
“At the beginning of things, when
the world was young the donkev
was esteemed by all the tribes of
men as the wisest of animals.
The good Sheik, El-Ray-Dio-
Deeler, owned a great herd of these
sagacious beasts, which was the
pride and joy of his life. Other
sheiks came from all around to lis
ten and marvel at the wisdom of the
herd.
At such* a time came even the
prophet himself—most learned and
wise of all the sons of the East.
With much glowing pride El-Ray-
Dio-Deeler led him out to the herd
and said:
“Behold, O Prophet, the wise and
talented asses. Converse with them,,
test them, and see if they are verily
wiser than forty trees full of owls.”
Then the prophet addressed the
asses. “Let us test your wisdom,”
said he. “Answer me this question:
What should, an ass require for a
three days’ journey?”
And they counselled among them
selves and then made reply: “For a
three days’ journey, O Prophet, any
ass should require six bundles of hay
and three bags of dates.”
“Very good/’ quoth the Prophet,
“that sourideth like a fair and pro
per price.” Whereupon El-Ray-Dio-
Deeler broke into loud chuckles and
said: “Did I not tell you they are
passing wise?”
The Prophet answered, “Wait,”
and he again addressed the asses.
“I have to make a three days’ jour
ney but I will not give you six
bundles of hay and three bags of
dates foi’ making it. Let him who
will go for less, stand forth.”
And behold, they all stood forth
and began to talk at* once. One
Would go'for six bundles of hay and
one bag of dates, until finally one
especially long-eared ass agreed to
go for one bundle of hay.
Then spoke' the Prophet: “Fool,"
quoth he, “you cannot even live for
three days on one bundle of hay,
much less profit from the journey.”
“True,” replied the long-eared
one, “but I wanted the order.”
And from, that far-off day to th'?;
asses have been known as fools,
and price-cutters have been known
as .asses.
’ “I*: wore/Hfig^gown -ter '-the 'party
despite my husband’s objections.”
“That shows a lot of backbone.”

PLANT CERTIFIED
SEED POTATOES TO
GET REST RESULTS
There is far too much disease and
poor quality in the table potato
crop of Canada to please either the
consumer or the producer, states
John Tucker, Plant Protection Div
ision, Dominion Department of Ag
riculture,
One big mistake the table potato
grower sometimes makes is to think
that any potatoes of good appear
ance will make good seed tubers.
That is not the case, for apparent
soundness of the tubers constitutes
no guarantee of freedom from dis
eases, for potatoes may" carry virus
diseases which cannot be recogniz
ed in the tuber but which never
theless seriously affect the yield
and quality of the crop. The only
way to be sure of seed that is prac
tically free of thes'e troubles is to
buy certified seed.
Certified seed potatoes that have
been grown expressly foi’ seed pur
poses. They are of good type, from
vigorous plants and are true to
variety.' They have been inspected
during the growing Reason, for dis
eases, and must conform to definite
seed standards, both in the field
and after harvest. Official tags are
used for seed stock exclusively and
no other type of label carries of
ficial recognition of seed potatoes.
If the official tag is not on every
container the potatoes should not
be accepted as certified seed. When
buying seed it is the buyer’s privi
lege, if he pays more than the re
gular table stock prices, to demand
the official tag; otherwise he may
get only table potatoes with no re
liable assurance whatever that thev
are free of virus diseases.
The principal object of the Do
minion Department of Agriculture
in providing the service of seed
potato certification is to make
available to the whole potato indus
try a sufficient quantity of practi
cally disease-free seed annually, to
meet all prospective demands, and at
reasonable prices. This is consid
ered the most practical and econom
ical method of dealing with many
of the types of diseases that are
carried in the tuber, Potato grow
ers in several other countries have
quickly caught on to the value of
planting Canadian certified seed
for the exports of certified seed
from the 19&9 crop totalled over
two and a quarter million bushels
sold in Canada. In other words,
five bushels of this good seed left
the country to every bushel that was
planted in Canada.
Obviously there is too much dis
ease and poor quality in the potato
crop in Canada when only one
bushel in every ten bushels plant
ed is of the 'Certified seed standard.
