Norval Bell is held on a charge of breaking and entering and the brother on a charge of receiving stol­ en goods. The pairs are allegedly im­ plicated in thefts from summer cot­ tages at Bruce Beach and at Glamis, the Herold store at Shakespeare, a store at Stayner and a garage at God­ erich. When the last flowers of the late fall have faded away, it is possible to have flowers in the home, for several weeks during the winter months. The cost is nominal and the effort small* These blooms can be provided by bulbs in a large variety of colour* To get the bulbs to flower successfully, it if£ necessary to start them for sev­ eral weeks in darkness in a cool cel­ lar. The first essential is to make sure that the bulbs themselves are of good quality, A good plan is to buy them early in the season when they are likely to be more vigorous than those which have been lying about the store for several weeks. Good bulbs should be firm to the touch; heavy' in comparison to their and of good size according to variety. The bulbs should be potted as as they can be obtained from the seed store or dealer. By removing the pots from the cellar, after the bulbs have taken root, a succession of blooms can be obtained over a long period, at intervals of ten days or two weeks. Some bulbs can be grown in water alone, others in prepared peat, and still others in soil. The varieties that do. best in water are Chinese Sacred Lily, Paper White Narcissus, and Hy­ acinths. The first two are grown in bowls and the Bulbs kept in place by small stones. A small piece of char­ coal should be placed at the bottom to help keep the water clean. Hy­ acinths are grown in special glasses, shaped so that the bulbs are held just above water. Prepared fibre compost can be ob­ tained from seed firms and it is ready prepared for use. Its chief advantage over earth is that it is used in fancy water-tight bowls. The fibre should be made slightly moist and a layer laid at the base of the bowl. The bulbs should be arranged on this with fibre filled in around them. Enough space should be left at the top so that water can be added easily. The number of bulbs depends on the size of the bowl, because .the bulbs must: not be allowed to touch each other or the sides of the bowl. Daffodils, tulips, and hyacinths can all be grown in fibre. The most inexpensive 'way to grow bulbs is in soil in clay pots. The or­ dinary garden soil, if not too heavy, can be used. Heavy soil should be mixed with sand and leaf soil in ord­ er to make it porous. Full-directions as to the planting Memorial Windows Dedicated An outstanding event in the history of St. Thomas’ Anglican Church, at Walkerton, was the dedicating by V. Archdeacon Doherty, D.D., of Brant­ ford, of four handsome memorial windows, each of which represented some sacred place, theme or event in the edpiphany of Christ, and which were erected by appreciative relatives in memory of departed loved ones.— Walkerton Herald-Times.
