without horses, but rather, how long
can we afford to leave them on the
prize list?” This seemed to sum up
the majority of opinions of those at
the meetings.
It looks as though the horse Is
fast going the way of the Red Devon.
There are districts of Western On
tario where there are no horses to
be found for miles. Man’s faithful
beast of burden, having served so
well, now becomes somewhat of a
novelty to the younger generation,
which doesn't know a hame strap
from a check.

That swishing sound heard around
7 a.m. in the neighbourhood of Lem’s
Restaurant each morning last week
was not caused by the Wingham
Fire Brigade extinguishing a fire,
After due investigation it was found
that it was caused by Casey &
Fraser, the hard working twins who
were busily engaged making ice in
the curling rink so that about 150
natives would soon be able to engage
in their favourite winter pastime.

Latest report is that curling may

The stakes surveyors use to
mark land boundaries have a
way of disappearing—and that
can mean a whole survey has to
be done over again. But now
there’s a new all-aluminum stake
that is tough for time and
weather and playful animals to
handle. It won’t rust, rot or
weaken. And two barbs open
out at right angles, underground,
to prevent its being rooted out
by even the most muscular bear.
It’s a Canadian invention, made
of Canadian aluminum, by a
Canadian company, to meet a
typically Canadian problem.

Colder Weather Sees
Livestock Stabled
Colder wet weather with light snow
fall saw the stabling of a large num
ber of livestock this past week, reports
G. W. Montgomery, agricultural rep
resentative, The disagreeable weather
slowed down the sugar beet harvest
and 39 growers still have a portion of
their crop to harvest. To date, 11,120
tons or 270 carloads of beets have now
been shipped from the county.
The Seventh Huron County Rural
Community Night School opened for
the first year at the Clinton District
High School with 343 people enrolling
in 13 night school courses. The First
Huron County Apple Show and Festi
val, held in Clinton on November Sth
was highly successful with 21 growers
exhibiting 76 bushels and 123 six quart
baskets of apples.
BACKACHE
MaybeWarninq
Backache is often caused by lazy kidney
action. When kidneys get out of order,
excess acids and wastes remain in the
system. Then backache, disturbed rest
or that tired-out and heavy-headed feeling
may soon follow. That’s the time to take
Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Dodd’s stimulate
the kidneys to normal action. Then you
feel better—sleep better—work better.

WHAT IS PURINA STEER FATENA?
Purina Steer Fatena is a combination of proteins,
built to supplement roughage and grain feeding.
Grain alone lacks balance between carbohydrates, proteins and
minerals. Steer Fatena helps supply this balance and makes the
grain and roughage more palatable. Thus more gains result from
the same amount of feed, and cost goes down.
It is the cost of a pound of beef that counts.
When you feed Steer Fatena the pound of
beef costs less.

Most Travelled Family of Bell(e)s
ago. She must have said some nice things to her sisters
about the Bell! Iiuguette, the youngest, completed the
quintette just over a year ago. We like having more
than one member of a family sharing in telephone work.
It says more forcefully than yye ever could that "The-
Bell is a good place to work.” We think, too, that as long
as we have employees like the Martin sisters, you’ll have •
the kind of telephone service we want you to have always.

WHEN IT COMES TO TRAVELLING—by telephone wire
that is—you’ll go far to match the accumulated record,
of the five Martin sisters of Montreal. Reading from

and Huguette, all work at the Bell Telephone Company
of Canada. They share a mutual interest in providing
