So far this has been right, but cheer up, the six weeks should be up on March 15th. The Globe reported that the jack rabbits at Walla Walla, Wash., are climbing the sage brush to escape drowning. That’s nothing. Around here the rabbits are climbing trees in search of food and when a hunter appears they drive him off by throw ing snowballs at him. sk Chief of Police Draper, of Toronto, has been criticized a great deal since he took that post, but has always come out on top. The commission which held the police investigations says in part of Chief Draper; "He is not a dodger of responsibilities, he meets them. He does not seek by temporizing and inaction to avoid the criticism which action brings, he acts,” The point we wish to make clear is that any person who never accomplishes anything will never be criticized, but those who step out and do something leave themselves open for criticism, but the fact remains they, at least tried.

The method they use is to plow the roads so that pedestrians and traffic are both taken care of. This idea appears to be a good one for villages and towns that arc in the snow belt. There is an objection, however. If the roads become slip pery, accidents might occur, and, of course with the sidewalks not ed children and all would find, cessary to use the road. In our town this objection be overcome to a great extent by also plowing the sidewalks on the two streets that are used the most by the school children. We are not aware of the cost of such a scheme in comparison to the method now used, but it is something that could be looked into before an other winter rolls around. :l: * * * CO-OPERATION The large crowd (over 600) attended the Carnival on Friday night had a merry time and the coffers of our public-owned rink swelled con siderably. The fact that all had lots of fun is not important as that is to be expected at such a function. The fact that the Carnival was a great success was mainly due to the co operation in connection with this ev ent. The boys who organized this mon ster celebration (The Triple V Class) deserve much credit indeed and the manner with which their efforts re ceived hearty co-operation is worthy of special mention. Everybody, those in costume and spectators, had an evening of fun but the fact that all pulled together to make a success of this evening is the one thing that will do much to make our town a better place live, ❖ ❖ * OUR KING SPEAKS No radio broadcast more interest than that ereign, King. Edward VIII. From the time that this broadcast was arranged it was evident that all were most an xious to listen in. As the Prince of . Wales, the voice of this same man has been heard on the air many times before but this message was to be one of special interest, as it was the first message of our new King to all ° parts of his vast Empire. No broad cast probaly ever had a greater aud ience than this one, not only within the empire but throughout the whole world. His message was direct and sincere and assured us of what we already knew, that in the death of King Geo. V. we lost a noble monarch, but that we have in King Edward VIII a king beloved by his people and one who has the well-being of his subjects at heart. Long live the King. * * * * The United States are floating a loan of $1,809,000,000. This operation will raise the national debt by $800,- 000,000.

Kellogg’s All-Bran supplies gently acting “bulk” which corrects the cause of common constipation.* This “bulk” takes up moisture, forming a soft mass which helps to cleanse the system. All-Bran gives your body the regular internal exercise it needs to prevent sluggishness. All-Bran also furnishes vitamin B and iron. Careful studies on men and wo men have shown that this delicious cereal is perfectly satisfactory. Serve All-Bran regularly for reg ularity, with milk or cream—or use in cooking. Two tablespoonfuls daily are usually sufficient. All-Bran is much more effective than part-bran products. Avoid disappointment— get Kellogg’s All-Bran at your grocer’s.

News and Information For the Busy Farmer The Measurement of Fuelwood Fuelwood is sold by the cord or by the wagon box load- A standard cord is a pile of wood 4 feet high, 4 feet wide and 8 feet in length, giv ing a total volume of 128 cubic feet. The amount of solid wood in a cord varies considerably, Crooked sticks, loose piling and prominent knots are common characteristics that reduce the volume of solid wood in a cord. It is customary in many localities to sell wood by the short, face or running cord. A short cord of wood is a pile 4 feet high, 8 feet long and 12, 14 or 16 inches in width depend ing on the market requirements. A standard cord of 4 foot wood is equal to 4 cords of 12 inch wood or 3 cords of 16 inch wood, although a standard cord will seldom give 4 full cords of 12 inch wood because the shorter sticks .pile closer. The College Royal Show On Wednesday, March 4th, 1936, the twelfth annual College Royal Show will be held at the Ontario Ag ricultural College. Under the leader ship of W. C. Keyes, President of the College Royal Executive, this Show is staged by the students of the College for the purpose of dt- monstrating showmanship with good sportsmanship. Competitions are op en to individual students and to stud ent clubs. More than 150 animals of the herds and flocks of the College will be exhibited. The students are assigned these animals and have one month in which to fit and train them for the Show. Competent judg es will place the classes on a strictly showmanship basis. In other words, the placing is made on the ability of the students to prepare the animal for the show ring and his ability to show and exhibit the qualities of the animal. Valuable trophies and other prizes are awarded. In the Gymnasium, student clubs arrange educational exhibits. These are on a strictly educational basis and give opportunity for the display of originality and ability in presenting information relating to various phases of Agriculture and Home Economics. A large number of classes for agri cultural products, cooking, sewing and art will also be open to students. Perhaps no project carried out by the students throughout the whole year is of more interest and assistan ce to both public and students than .is the College Royal. March 4th will be an outstanding day on the O.A.C. Campus. Large numbers of parents and friends of the students will come to inspect the exhibits and to watch the judging in the pavilion. An invi tation is also extended to students of High Schools and Collegiates inter ested in this work. The coveted award of “Grand Champion Showman” brings forth outstanding work by a large number of young men who have had exper ience with stock and, who seek the favorable decision of the judges. The competition this year promises to be keener than that of any other Show. Wood Versus Coal for Fuel .In localities where there are large areas of woodland within trucking distance the householders in villages and towns could often save money by using wood rather than coal for fuel. They would also help the far mer and their town as the farmer would have a market for a product which otherwise is often unsaleable and the town merchants would bed- efit as the farmer would have this ex tra money to purchase groceries, dry goods, hardware and shoes, Coal has replaced wood as fuel to a large ex tent in many towns, villages and there are also a large number of farmers who burn coal. Various reasons are responsible ‘for this substitution. In too many sections the farmers and residents of villages have no other alternative as most of the land has been cleared and there is tip wood for sale. Many purchase coal rather than, wood because they have a much bet* ter idea what they are buying, Many have a very hazy idea of the heating value of a cord of wood compared to a ton of coat Also they realize that different species differ but the am ount of variation is not known. CONDITION SERIOUS The condition of Countess Haug- witx-Reventlow, the former Barbara Hutton, was understood to be grave. She gave birth to a 7^-pound son on Tuesday and on Thursday was oper ated upon. She was visited by Lord Horder, physician in ordihary to the King, who declined to commit him self. The Forest Products Laboratories have investigated the heating values of different tree species and the re sults of these investigations are giv en. The table gives the number of cords of each species that give the same amount of heat as a ton (2,000 lbs.) of good anthracite coak The heating value of green wood is approximately 5% less than air-sea soned wood.

MADE CARS RUN WITH FISH OIL LUBRICANT When forty or fifty blackfish wan dered too close to shore in Cape Bret on Island, Nova Scotia, a few weeks ago they didn’t expect to supply, fish ermen with motor oil, but that’s what they did just the same. Nor was it only as motor lubricants that their oil did duty. Some was burned in lamps in place of kerosene. Some was used as harness oil. Like better known fish oils, some of it proved a satisfactory '“body” fdr paint. Re search and experimentation in recent years have revealed many • commerc ial uses for fish oils but the case of the blackfish incident suggests that perhaps thefe are parts of the field which are yet unexplored. Blackfish, big Atlantic fish some times measuring , more than twenty feet in length and weighing as much as a ton and a half, are not one of the many species which enter into Canada’s commercial catch but occas ionally they are taken by fishermen when some factor such as greedy ap petite for fleeing schools of smaller fish brings them into shallow waters close to land.
