Many insects, commouly^found in vegetable gardens, pass the winter in different stages of their devlopment, on or beneath piles of plant refuse left lying about by the untidy or In­ nocent gardener. Among many such insects might be mentioned the tarn­ ished plant bug, imported cabbage worms, flea beetles, striped cucum­ ber beetles, cutworms and leafhop­ pers. To reduce infestation next year, all plant refuse should be gathered up and burned just as as the last crops of the year been harvested.

Good come of it. I was talking western agriculturist who had down in Quebec taking a looksee. He had probably hated to persuade himself, but he admitted f’-ankly that the Quebec farmer “was doing a good job” . . . that he was in most cases, and in his own way, really farming better than the westerner had given him credit for. I only mention this because it shows what ! travel and inter-mingling can do for ! a people. I You run into interesting things ' on a train alright. I talked with I a diplomat's wife who was just three f weeks away from Stockholm with I her two small children and a Nor- j wegian nurse. A high priority got I her out of Sweden by plane.

For miles and miles on end one sees threshing rigs going full blast and numberless straw stacks—-gold­ en yellow mounds that tell a story of nature’s gift in fruition. On the train, which rumbles ceaselessly on, is found part of the public opinion of Canada, and foi’ anyone interested in the dissemination of information hers hours too, I anics and goodwill is cemented, ours are .also spread formation is spilled around promis­ cuously.

This f is the “something” that I haven’t !seen even suggested before. She said conditions in Norway are terrible, worse than what you read about. There is an average of about forty Norwegians getting out every day to Sweden and she has had the opportunity of getting first hand information. She confirmed the reports that no German troops have moved through Sweden for some time, ever since the Swedish government promulgated that edict. People recently from Germany had told her that the city of Ham­ burg, for intsance, was really total­ ly obliterated. Fires so terrible raged there after the big raid that they didn’t even try to stop them, and cement flowed down the streets like lava. Berlin has taken a ter­ rible pasting and is in a bad way, but her information w’as that the morale of the German people is not yet shaken to the extent where there is liable to be an early collapse. To get back to this prairie con- I vention, which is thought important enough to be attended by the Nation­ al President.. J. W. Rowe of Manitou,! Manitoba, and the Managing Direc-i tor, C. V. Charters of Brampton,! Ont., a high note of the convention,! as it was at the national affair in j Toronto, is the contribution week-1 i ly papers can make to the winning; of victory. Why I mention this is because they merely reflect the opi­ nions and the physical and moral effort of those who read weekly newspapers'—the people who live in the areas not classed as urban. | The Regina Leader-Post in an j editorial today voiced this senti­ ment aptly and in the following paragraph of that editorial show- i ed what the daily newspapers— which means the daily readers too !—think of the I we mentioned j and you, too. i “The weekly tute the veritable backbone of public ! information. They reach a reading | group that the dailies barely touch. They enjoy an itimacy of relation-; i ship 'With their subscribers that met- I ropolitan newspapers regard with envy but can scarcely hope to equal | because of their much greater and' thereby more impersonal circula- tion.” “When this has been said, let it be quickly added that in this war up to now the weekly newspapeis ]Je insure(i> may ]3e British have done a remarkably effective ‘ and magnificently unselfish job of supporting the war effort. r"' have given generously of their time,! space and energy and will keep on i so doing until the war is won. They I j are not holding out for more < ” anything except a greater opportu­ nity of contributing to victory.” nj iiuib ..... Along a similarly serious vein of I - thought was Premier W. J. Patter-) £a7ge VkirToimiion son’s address to the convention. He! asked the newspapermen in their various communities to preach the doctrine of hope and optimism, which must, however, be checked by the prospect of the serious prob­ lems which are still facing us. He thought it was up to people to re­ tain their true sense of proportion, not to regard the general outlook from any standpoint of our own per­ sonal problems; we should take the broader and national view. He meant we should not miss the forest because of the trees. And that ends a rambling news­ letter that had to be, despite the supposed week’s holiday.

Miss Biliousness is just another name for a clogged or sluggish liver. It is a very common complaint, but can be quickly remedied by stimulating the flow of bile. This softens the accumulated mass, the poisons are carried out of the system, and the liver and bowels are relieved and toned up. Milburn ’s Laxa-Livor Pills quicken and enliven the sluggish liver, open­ ing up every channel, by causing a free flow of bile and thus cleansing the liver of the clogging impurities.
