This can be easi­ ly accomplished in Wingham as there is a weekly collection of garbage but it surprising how few use this service. The cost is very small $2.75 for the summer months or $4.00 for the whole year. In conversation with one of our citizens the other day we were sur­ prised to learn that he did not know that this service is available the year round. There are many of our citizens who should be using this service. In a great many municipalities garbage collection is compulsary but here it is not. The council have however made it possible for all those who want to use such a service to, do so at a very nominal fee. If you are not using this service think it over. At the last meeting of the council a motion was passed that all places must be cleaned up and put in a sani­ tary condition by May 24. Do not overlook this. It will save you a pos­ sible fine and your co-operation will make our town a better place in which to live. CONFIDENCE GAME It is surprising how many people in their anxiety to increase their wordly wealth fall for some hocus pocus scheme that is as old as time almost. In Orangeville recently an aged re­ sident recently was swindled out of $1500 in hard earned savings by an old confidence game. People who have money to invest should not pay heed to the high pow­ ered salesman with their bag of tricks or the smooth gentlemen with the get rich. plan. We have in our community bank managers, bond salesmen and many others who are capable and willing to give advise to prospective investors and people would be well advised to consult any of these parties rather than listen to the fly by night man who, sells propositions that border on the gold brick idea. * * * * Now that Italy feels they have conquered Ethiopia what are tliey go­ ing to do with it.* * * * This jumping from winter to sum­ mer weather is not just what we would order but the weather man gets more knocks than most people.:jc 4- As we talk ef summer weather we just read a clipping that reminds us that the Fall Fair is just five months away.* * * * If Italy is sincere in her efforts to help the Ethiopian people she will now have a chance to prove it.

Since the town has stopped given these chaps meals the householder is called upon to do it. This floating population is a great source of inconvience and nui­ sance to so many people that a con­ centrated effort should be made to clean it up. It Is a picturesque scene, and a touching one. The little matt “made haste, and came down and received Him joyfully," How Zacchaeus’s heart must have leaped as he realized his honor and privilege! What did. the crowd think? Amazed, shocked, “they all murmured, saying. “That He was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner." But that is the only kind of man that Christ left heaven to seek and to save. On another occasion when the Lord was sharply criticized for eating with “many publicans and sinners," He said: “They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick ... I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." (Matt, 9:12-13). ‘ Yes, Zacchaeus, like all the rest of us, was a sinner. But, unlike some of the rest of us, he was not going to keep on with the sins that he had stained his life. Here was his amaz­ ing declaration as he stood before Christ: “Behold, Lord, the half of my good I give to the poor; and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.” And now came a much greater and momentous declaration from Christ to Zacchaeus. The Lord of THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON i I m i -ttm ~t wtt* ~ ~r- " —T - ....... JESUS INSPIRES HONESTY Sunday, May 17—Luke 19:1-10, 45- 48, Golden Text: Thou shalt not seal. (Exod. 20:15.) The lesson title is true—but mere “honesty” is only an incident in any life that really lets Jesus in as Sav­ iour and Lord. There are a great many men who have never become true children of God by faith in His Son •as their Saviour, yet who are scrupu­ lously “honest,” That is, they de­ fraud no man .they pay their bills promptly, they conduct their business on a basis of strict honesty, they tell the truth, and they scorn dishonesty. A man can do all that in his own na­ tural strength. But when he really comes into touch with the Lord Jesus Christ, as a corrupt grafter did in this lesson, something happens in his life that goes way beyond all such hon­ esty, admirable though it is. Zacchaeus is the man ,about whom the lesson incident centres. He lived in Jericho — and Jericho was a city under the curse of God (Josh. 6.26). Moreover Zacchaeus’s own reputa­ tion was bad. He was “the chief a- mong the publicans, and he was rich.” The publicans stood for all that was despicable in the Jews’ sight,, being tax collectors for the Roman Govern­ ment; they meant being thoroughly corrupt in financial matters, extor­ tioners, oppressors of the people. They “grafted,” putting into their own pockets all they could collect in the way of taxes above what they were required to turn over to the Govern­ ment. If Zacchaeus was rich, every­ body knew how he had gained his riches. Yet he wanted to see the Lord Jesus. We do not know why; per­ haps he had heard Him preach; per­ haps he had watched Him at a dis­ tance and been impressed, even cap­ tivated, by His manner and spirit. Crowds were thronging the Lord at this time, and Zacchaeus was “little of stature.” So we read that “he ran before, and climbed up into sycomore tree to see Him; for He was to pass that way.” The Lord knew what was in men’s hearts, and He must have seen spirit­ ual hunger and thirst in the heart of this rich, but despised tax gatherer. For the Lord “looked up, and saw him and said unto him, “Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.” Glory said: “This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as (m also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Zacchaeus was saved. He had been “dead in trespasses and sins” Eph. 2:1.) But by grace was he saved through faith; and that not of him­ self: it was the gift of God (Eph. 2: 8.) . And that is how Zacchaeus was changed from being a thoroughly dis­ honest man into an honest man: from corruption to righteousness. That is how the Lord Jesus inspired honestly in this grafting tax collector. Not by setting him a good example, but by giving him a new life. As has been well said, what we all need is not to turn over a new leaf, but to have a new life. “Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are be­ come new” (2 Cor. 5:17). There is a dramatic incident at the end of the chapter, when Christ went into the temple of God, His heavenly Father, and cast out the traders, money changers, and sellers of cattle for sacrifice, men who doubtless were just as crooked in their business deal­ ings as was Zacchaeus, To them He said sternly, quoting from the Old Testament: “It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves." God wants every human .being to be His own house. He will make us the temple of the Holy Spirit, if we will let Him do so by receiving His Son as our Saviour and Lord. When wa refuse to do this, rejecting His Son, we make the house “a den of thieves.” If we would have the new, true, heart-honesty that Zacchaeus came to have, we must let Christ in to reign as Lord in our lives. SPRING MARKETS ARE GREEN By Barbara B. Brooks ■ “ I Maitland Creamery E ■ ■ THE UNITED FARMERS’ CO-OPERATIVE ■ ■COMPANY, LIMITED. Whigham, - » Ontario. Phone 271 ■ ■ Have you lived in a remote place, far from a large city, miles from a railroad? Can you picture the one store that is the source of all food, medicine, clothing and equipment that you are apt to need between in­ frequent trips to better markets? Yottr_ general store was indeed pro­ gressive if there was a vegetable bin with its tiny fountain jetting spray over the precious but often dejected “perishables.” , At this time of year how eagerly you turned to the fountain each time you Stepped inside the store. Perhaps a farmer’s wife had nursed' precious greens in a hot-bed and had sacrific­ ed a few in exchange for a dire ne­ cessity; or some husky youngsters had tramped miles ih the raw wind and braved icy waters to gather ear­ ly cress that was a fair trade in their minds for a few suckers and chewing gum balls. ' How priceless those first spring greens were. You overlooked every blemish. You relished every mouth­ ful and a mouthful was about all you got. If this experience has been in your life, you will want greens in the springtime and will never tire of them no matter how plentiful. What a season and year this is for greens. The markc^ abounds in them and every train, truck or ship brings in more of them. Let’s have them raw in salads, sandwiches and 'even chopped and sprinkled in soup or ov* er other vegetables. Why not com* bine them with some of the root or other vegetables we have Been eating all winter. Let’s have them cooked plain, not over-ddne, with all the freshness and greenness left in. Here are a few menus to help along your imagination. We shall start with breakfast, and why not something green at breakfast? BREAKFAST Stewed Rhubarb ADVISED TO EAT BRAN FOR HER CONSTIPATION* Kellogg’s All-Bran Helps Miss Hanson Read this enthusiastic, voluntary letter p “Just a line to let you know how much I appreciate Kellogg’s All-Bran, I was troubled with constipation.* I asked my doctor what to do. He said to eat bran. “I tried other brands but they weren’t so good, so I tried Kellogg’s All-Bran, and it is just wonder­ ful. It makes delicious muffins, too.” — Miss Agnes Hanson (ad­ dress upon request), All-Bran provides mild “bulk” — missing in the average meal. This delicious cereal also furnishes vitamin B and iron. The “bulk” in All-Bran absorbs moisture, and gently exercises and cleanses the system. It is often more effective than that found in fruits and vegetables, as it does not break down within the body. All-Bran also supplies vitamin B and iron. Isn’t this natural food pleasanter than patent medicines? Just eat two tablespoonfuls daily. If not relieved, see your doctor. Sold by all grocers. All-Bran is much more effective than part-bran products. Made by Kellogg in Lon­ don, Ontario. *Constipation due to insufficient “bulk" in meals.

For a new delight in Tea try Salada Orange Pekoe Blend HT E JHk are severe, spring planting has given more satisfactory results that has fall planting. Plants one year old have produced larger shoots and haye pro­ duced crops for a longer period than have older ones. Plant as early in the spring as the soil will permit, the plants being spac­ ed l¥s to 3 feet apart in ’the row. The crowns may be covered 6 to 7 inches deep in light soils and 4 to 5 inches deep in heavy soils, care being taken, to sread the roots out in their natural position. Asparagus is set deeply because the crowns gradually grow upwards as the plants gx-ow old­ er, also it allows manure to be work­ ed into the soil without injury to the crowns. No shoots are cut until the third season, when only the stronger ones are used. Cutting may begin in ear­ nest the fourth season. With proper care, asparagus will produce* satisfac­ torily for may years. At the Domin­ ion Experimental Station, at Scott, Sask., the varieties Colossal and Ar- genteuil have been grown successful­ ly in the same plantation for over 15 years, Late in the fall of each year the top growth may be cut off and manure applied. This is worked into the soil every spring. The destruction of tops, is advised for the purpose of helping to control diseases and insects. OUI OF KICK II ff. ' | ■ h ' 'A • Speeds have more than doubled in the past ten years. No wonder thousands are killed or injured every year in blow-out accidents, because when you are driving along at 40, 50, 60 miles an hour, the heat inside your tires is terrific—as hot as boiling water. Thia heat causes rubber and fabric to separate. A tiny blister forms— ' grows bigger and bigger—until sooner-or later, without warning, bang! It’s a blow-out! Why take this dread­ ful risk that you may regret the rest of your. life when,it is so easy to play safe! An amazing new invention, the Life- Saver Golden Ply resists heat so that rubber and fabric do not separate— thus these blow-out blis­ ters are, checked before they even get started. Can you afford to be without this blow-out protection when Good­ rich Silvertowns, the only tires in the world with the remarkable Golden Ply, cost not one penny more? Don’t trust to luck.

Summer*fallowing the land for one season and applying welbrotted manure in the fall is advised. It is important that land to be used for asparagus be free from weeds and grasses1.
