A
16-YEAR-OLD-GIRL
WRITES FROM WEST
Her ^Father Came from Wingham
The Hamilton Spectator of Nov. 5,
printed a letter from a 16-year-old
girl in the West, written thanking a
Stoney Creek school girl for the car
shipped from that town, also telling
of conditions in the West. This girl,
Dora Aitken, of Donavon, Sask., says
her father came from Wingham. Mr.
J. C. -Reading, of Hamilton, sent up
the clipping of the article which reads
in part:

ed as we had no crop of any kind this
year. There was no harvest in the
fields at all. No one for miles around
had any garden hardly. The .grass
hoppers took a good part of it and
what they left the sun burned and the
army worm took. All we grew in the
garden was a few citrons and about
15 bushels of small marbly potatoes.
“We have not had any rain to speak
of for a long time. It has been cold
and windy this last few weeks, but a
few days previous have been like
summer. It must be our Indian sum
mer, I guess.

SPEAKS AT ROOK FAIR
Morley Callaghan, ABOVE, noted
Canadian author, declared that in this
country young talented writers had
practically no chance of achieving
“any kind of success” because there
was “no medium of expression in
Canada for the authentic writer,” He
was speaking before the.Canadian As
sociation of Bookmen at the Book
Fair in Toronto, Ont,, on Nov. 5th.
the individual’s physician.
Under such conditions, the remedy
lies in altering the mode of living. A
proper diet, avoidance of over-eating
or of over-indulgence in one or more
articles of diet, regular elimination,
increased intake of water, and proper
exercise are the points which should
be first dealt with.
The correction of any unpleasant
odour should always be thought of
along the lines of the removal of the
cause. It is much preferable to over
come body odours by regular bathing
than by attempting to overpower
them by using perfpmes. In the same
way, the logical manner of dealing
with bad breath is to remove its
cause.
8 A treatment of symptoms is neces
sary, but their cure and the preven
tion of their recurrence depend upon
the treatment of the cause, the root
of the condition, It never pays to
temporize; it is always satisfactory to
get to grips with the cause,

mouth, such as pyorrhoea, or of the
adjoining parts, bad breath may re
sult either from the condition itself
or from the fermentation of food par
ticles which the condition favours. A
healthy thfoat and a mouth kept clean
by regular use of the tooth-brush are
the first considerations in' preserving
an inoffensive*breath.
In addition to the local conditions,
which act as a cause of bad breath,
there are general conditions which
bring it about. We think, first, of the
digestive tract because in our minds
a bad taste in the mouth is frequently
associated with digestive upsets. Bad
breath* does occur "quite often, among
those who overeat, or whose elimin
ation is faulty. The bad breath, in
such cases, is really a symptom of
an abnormal condition of the digest
ive tract and is regarded as such by

Canadian Apple Exports
The 1937 seasonal movement of
Canadian apples to the United King
dom markets up to October 7 am
ounted to 33f>,180 barrels and 211,455
boxes, compared with 140,335 barrels
and 207,140 boxes during the.previous
season. This represents an increase
of 140 per cent, in barrels and two
per cent in boxes. A large increase is
also noted in the export of aples from
the United States tojbe British mar
kets, this season’s export consisting
of 131,211 barrels and 160,161 boxes,
compared with 30,603 barrels and
222,378 boxes. Although the United
States exports are considerably small
er in bulk than the Canadian, the in
crease amounts to 329 per cent, in
barrels, but a decrease of 28 per cent
in boxes. ?
Timothy Seed Supply
The- amount of timothy seed sown
in Canada annually is estimated at
from 8,000,000 to 12,000,000 pounds.
Naturally, in years of high prices, the
demand is less than when
reasonably cheap.
Present indications
estic supplies will go
demand in Canada in
ry-over in Canada was about 3% mil
lion pounds from 1936 and produc
tion this year should be about 4,250,-
000 pounds. In the United States
there is a large supply of timothy
seed which is selling reasonably cheap
an<J is estimated to be sufficient for
three years’ requirements. Present
prices on track at Chicago are from,
$2.25 to $2.75 per cwt. for country
run seed which is about half the price
in that market a year ago. Incident
ally, timothy seed prices in Canada
are influenced by Chicago prices, but
imported seed is, of course, subject
to the added cost of duty of about
one cent per pound and increased
freight and other incidental changes
which amount to around another four
cent’s per pound.
The bulk of the production of tim
othy seed in Canada this year is in
Ontario, Quebec and British Col
umbia.

Trees 2-10 inches in diameter of
the more valuable species should be
saved from breakage if possible when
large trees are felled. The large trees
should be felled in the direction
where least damage will result. This
may be done by wedging, pulling it
with a rope, cutting off large limbs
before felling, or bending the small
trees over with a rope until large
tree is felled.
Farmers who have not fenced their
woodlot from stock would be well ad
vised to consider fencing part at least
as protection from stock now will
mean that there will be a woodlot on
the farm 25, 50 and 75 years hence,
because small trees always start in
a, woodlot that is not pastured by
stock. A cultivated field or pasture
may be squared by taking in a corn
er of the woodlot. The fuelwood
could be cut from the part in the pas
ture or cultivated field. The wood
land area could be increased by in
cluding the cleared corner with the
woodlot and planting it with forest
trees next spring.

Brigadier-General1 Alexander Pat
rick Drummond Telfer-Smollet lists
his favorite recreation as shooting,
but not the kind which killed on Oct.
three British soldiers and sent him
protesting to Japanese military auth
orities over tlieir latest violation of
neutral rights.
As commander of all British forces
in the Shanghai area, the multi-nam
ed Brigadier-general is probably the
most indignant man anywhere in the
World to-day. He> acted under in
structions from Whitehall in estab
lishing British arniy posts throughout
the Shanghai area, merely to protect
British lives and property and not to
serve as target for Japanese shells.
Member of an old and distinguish
ed British family, General Telfer-
Smollet has had a long and active,
careen Born in Scotland and educat
ed at Sandhurst, Britain’s famed mil
itary college, Telfer-Smollet joined
army in 1004, he served throughout
the world war and on five separate
occasions received- medals^ for brav
ery. ■ • ■
A wealthy man, .Telfer-Smollet
maintains two homes in Scotland and
one in the west end of London. Most
‘picturesque is his Scottish country es
tate, alluringly named the plaee ot
Bonhill, tJumbartousbirt. ,
Telfer-Smollet is 53, married and
the father of three sons.
Cutting the Fuelwood
The farmer who owns a 10-15 acre
wood lot is envied by his neighbor in
the sections where many farms have
the entire acreage cleared for crop
ping and pasture, as he has a supply
of fuchvood and timber close at hand
and he docs not have to make a caslv
outlay. Due.to the increasing scarc
ity of fuelwood in many of the better
agricultural districts, more owners of
woodland are giving attention to'their
woodlots in order that they may be |
preserved and that they will give lar
ge*- financial returns over a period of
years.
The annual cutting of fuelwood
may be made the starting point in a
more -efficient scheme of manage
ment In many cases the fuelwood
may be secured from a wdodlot, and
it will be more valuable, in better
condition for future growth, and pre
sent a more pleasing appearance. The
method and care that-is taken to-day
will make a difference of hundreds
of dollars in the value of the woodlot
15, 20 and 50 years hence. Rather
than considering only the present;
that is securing the best wood in the
shortest time and with the least work,
the owner should cut the trees that
will improve future growing condi
tions.
Examples
1. Thin a second growth stand ra
ther than clean-cut a small area.
2. Cut the large trees that have to
be worked up with cross-cut rather
than take the f>-10 inch diameter trees
that may Be Sawn with buzz-saw and

< The fbliowlng rules might well be

trees' to be cut and saved in a fuel-
