William Harrison, .Goderich 'dray-
man, narrowly escaped fatal injuries
in an accident about noon on Saturs
day. He was delivering a load of
ashes and garbage at the municipal
dumping ground on Maitland road

of a near-by C.N.R. jigger, and jump-
ed over the bank. Mr. Harrison who
was on top of the load was carried
over the 100-foot incline and was bur-
ied under the debris. Help was soon
on the scene and extricated him still
conscious. He was removed to the
office of Dr. J. M. Graham and later
to the hospital where it was found he
was suffering severe head lacerations,
a possible fracture of the skull and
other injuries. The horse escaped
with a few scratches. The wagon is
a total wreck.

WITH JARS
Will Russia go to war with Japanese
is a question that was given much con-
'sideration during the past week. The
reason for this was the cancellation by
Russia of the pact which they had
with Japan. Russia did not intimate
that she would throw her might again-
St the Niponese but the opinion of
those who should know is that this
aetion, Whether Russia fights Japan or
not, will shorten the war in the Pacific.
Russia has An old score to settle with
the Japanese, but as they are realists.
we can be certain that Russia will not
start anything until she feels it will
be to her advantage. Russia has two
or three well equipped armies in Si-
beria and the new cabinet in Japan
had another problem to add to the
many that they already have.

COURSE IN JOURNALISM
The University of Western Ontario
has added a course in journalism to its
already large list of courses. The
University is to be congratulated on
instituting such a course. It will be
• a the only one of its kind in Canada, and
will be a regular course leading to a
B.A. degree. There has been a need
for such a course in Canada. In the.
United States there are many similar
courses and these have been studied
by the officials of the University in
order that the course at London 'will
be complete in all respects, The de-
velopment and registration in this
course will be watched with interest
but there is little doubt but it will
prove beneficial to many who desire
University training,

as Victory year and also as election

if the latter could have been avoided

Recovers Long Lost Rings
When Mr, and Mrs. Clarence Dari-
ng of Durham were visiting the Witt-
hun family cottage at Sauble Beach,
over civic holiday last year, Mrs. Darl
mg was unfortunate enough to lose
three rings, her wedding ring, engage-
ment ring and her mother's wedding
ring, from her husband's pocket, where
they had been placed for safe keeping.
Despite the fact that a.constant search
was made at this time, the rings were
not found. Last Sunday Dr. and Mrs.
Zinn and Mr. and Mrs. William Bueg-.
las from Hanover, spent the day at
Sauble Beach, and walked around the
Witthun cottage, and recalling the in-?
cident of the lost rings, they glanced
about in the sand, and to Dr. Zinn's
mazement, he picked up the rings,
none the worse for their long repose,
dged in an upright position in the
sand. On their way home, the travel-
lers stopped in Durham and returned
rings to the owner, whose surprise
only equalled by her happiness in
their restoration.—Hanover Post.

the process can be hastened .eonsider-
ably if a small amount of hot water is
first used and the DOW then diluted
with cold water to the correct strength.
Corrosive sublimate should be dissolv-
ed only in wooden, glass or earthen-
ware vessels as it quickly loses its
value if it comes in contact with
metals. It is deadly poison if taken
internally and the greatest care must
be exercised in its use. The dip is
effective at room temperature, or at
70 degrees F; It should be used only
once and then discarded and a fresh.
supply mixed.
Corms should be soaked for three
hours if peeled, or for twenty hours if
unpeeled, Growers are advised to treat
their corms in the spring, just prior to
planting; this will save the trouble of
drying them before re-storing.

The Business
Of Farming
Requires
ItEADY MONEY" is the common term for what
businessmen call "Reserve Funds". In any language,
"Ready Money" is a handy thing to have.
None realize this need more than a, farmer ; ; for in
the business of farming there are so many times that
extra money is needed .. . for bills that must be met ; ; ;
to take advantage of opportunities . . . "to turn a
dollar" with profit.
There are many times when a farmer needs "extra
money". Without a reserve fund he must either sell
something "for what he can get for it" or borrow, if
he can get a loan.
Victory Bonds provide a safe and convenient form in
which to-keep savings until needed. Victory Bonds
earn double bank interest. When you have Victory
Bonds you can get a loan from any bank at any time
without any formality, and the interest the bonds earn
pays a large part of the interest on the loan.
Victory Bonds can be bought for cash which you have
saved or bought on convenient deferred payments'
with money as you get it:
Buy Victory Bonds to provide a reserve of working•
capital for your farm. Buy there, too, to help maintain
your country's war effort. They pay interest these

Huron near the mouth of the river
Maitland Saturday night. The eight-
year-old boy was playing with a
younger brother and another compan-
ion on the bank of the river. He got
into a skiff which the high wind carried
out into the lake just beyond the river
mouth. He became frightened and
jumped into the water which was cold,
though not deep. He was unable to
swim. Capt. Beet MacDonald went to
the rescue and recovered the body.
Efforts at resuscitation applied for an
hour and a half failed to revive the

Gladioli are at the top of the list
as the most colourful and satisfactory
flowers to grow in any garden.
They can be grown successfully only
if they are treated before planting with
some substance which will kill all
stages of the gladiolus thrips, the most
troublesome insect attacking these
flowers, says Alan G. Dustan, Division
of Entomology. Dominion Department
of Agriculture. There are many
chemicals which will do this but prob.
ably immersing the corms in a cor-
rosive sublimate solution will be most
suitable before they are planted.
This material is diluted at the rate
of 1 ounce to 6 gallons of water and

purchased at most seed 'houses and
