To the Bug
Sudden Death Bug Killer has been thoroughly tested
by thousands of growers throughout Ontario and Quebec
for the past ten years. 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.

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.
Purina Livestock Spray kills and repels these
pests. Use it for spraying your shock, barns, poultry
houses, hatcheries, dog kennels, etc.

appreciate it and thank you most
heartily. Doubtless you will be glad
to know that far the most part,

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

GRAND BEND! 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

the early morning hours of the fol

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
