It comes to you with, an absolute guarantee that it is effective and quick killing. The economy of this bug finish lies not only on the fact that it kills quickly; it also sticks rigidly to the leaf giving poison to the bugs several weeks after application.after application. i iI Sudden Death Means New —Kills Quickly —Sticks to —Easy to Apply —Does Not —Does not Burn the Leaf Life the Leaf Deteriorate Grow Your Pullets Good care of your chicks during the growing per­ iod is very essential. Here’s where we need to be on guard against neglect, particular neglect as to the kind of feed to give growing flocks. Your chicks may appear to be doing fine on almost any kind of feed. The damage doesn’t show up until fall when they may be a % or % of a pound light and then it will be too late when the birds are late in start­ ing to lay and egg production is down. For the sake of your egg profits next fall and win­ ter, we urge that you put your growing pullets on the Purina plan—Growena mash and checkers. Purina Livestock Spray One of the worst enemies around the farm is the ordinary,, everyday fly. It spreads disease, annoys stock, lowers production, and is an all-round nuisance.

Dear Sir;—Your splendid parcel ■from Exeter District Wartime Com­ mittee has just arrived- I deeply appreciate it and thank you most heartily. Doubtless you will be glad to know that far the most part, it will go to the Dutch people. That is what everyone else Is doing any­ way. What these good people put up with under the Germans, es­ pecially during the last winter, when the Germans finally realized that they could not win the friend­ ship of the Dutch, is ^agination. There was light, no oil for lamps, —only darkness during nights. There was little fuel little food—only watery soup black bread from the public chens. The sight of the food the smell of it actually made them sick more than once. The sound of heavy boots in the street filled them with apprehension as the men rushed for their hiding places between the floors and under the roofs. Many are the thrilling stories I have heard about it and I have seen the ingenious hiding places the men made for themselves so that they would not he taken as slaves to Germany. The turning now, and the concentration .ter, poor wisps of strength to the ground, when I say achievement in succeeding in makin; hate her and distrust her. And here where they know the Germans best the hate is deepest. And I 'don’t blame them one bit. It will take a long time to heal all these wounds. The scars will remain so long that were any German to come to me protesting his innocence, 1 should say, “We trusted you too often and we now know the price we had to pay. Come back in a thousand years and I will listen to what you have _ to say. In the meantime your only hope is to prove yourself in deeds," Little by little we are appreciating the en­ thusiasm with which we were wel­ comed in the liberation. What a great time it was—a suitable clim­ ax to the long years. From Apel- town through Amersfront to Hilver- surn (Holland’s Radio City) where we have been since May, 8, was like a royal progress.

FISHERMEN ADRIFT IN LAKE 36 HOURS Hungry, exhausted and shaken after 36 hours spent adrift aboard a fishing boat in the choppy waters of Lake Huron, three veteran fish­ ermen from Grand Bend landed safely near Kincardine. The trio, Joseph Desjardine,. 70<- year-old -owner of the craft; Gene Jefforie, 74, who has been sailing the Great Lakes for 30 years or more, and John Durant, 73, set out from Southampton in Sunday night, and early Tuesday morning were wash­ ed UP on the rocky beach surround­ ing the lighthouse at Chantry Is­ land, several miles north of their departure point, Mr. Despardine bought the boat, a 28-foott gasoline operated fishing vessel with an eight-foot beam, at Southampton and with his friends was returning with it to Grand Bend. It was their intention to stop at Kincardine Sunday night. While still about six miles from their overnight destination, but in sight of the lighthouse, motor trouble developed. The trio anchored the craft, but late in the evening the lake became so rough they had to cut the an­ chor, afraid that the tugging might tear the vessel in two. All that night, and through the next day, the boat drifted, its oc­ cupants without food, forced to take shelter in a cabin so small they could neither sit nor lie down. At one point they were in danger of being washed overboard by the high seas. About 3,30 p.m. Monday, the trio caught sight of a sailboat about a half-mile away. With the aid of a pole and tempted to plight, but On they ing land, night, until the wind changed in the early morning hours of the fol­ lowing day. About 7 a.m., 36 hours after it had set out from South­ ampton, the boat was washed ashore on the lighthouse rocks at Chantry Island, where it was slightly damaged as it went aground. Mr. Desjardine and his compan­ ions had no food since they left Southampton and the vessel was not equipped with flares, lights or oars. After their narrow escape, the three men were taken to Port Elgin, where they were given food and shelter prior to returning to Grand Bend. Relatives the latter point had no idea of what had happened, and were not even worried. Despite their age, they reported no serious ill-effects from their ex­ perience. a white “flag,” they at- draw attention to their without success. drifted without sig'ht- during all of Monday FlLu rifle: streamers, thousands swar.ming in the roads cars.
