CFPL 7 DAYS A WEEK Deliveries of day old pheasant chinks to the Huron district have now been completed. In all, 14,925 of these youthful game birds have been placed in brooders in the southern counties of the district and in the lake shore ;townships of Huron county. Usually between 200 and 250 chicks are placed in each brooder. Pheas- ants mature much more quickly than domestic chickens and at 6 weeks old are well enough developed to be able to look after themselves. After being released they usually come back to the brooder for a few days to obtain feed but in a surprisingly short time they learn to look after themselves. They disappear in the surrounding country where in the following fall the cocks become targets for the hunters. It is illegal to shoot the hens, Some 7,500 ten week old pheasant poults were also allotted to the Huron district and most of these have already been received. These birds were kept in the release pens for only a day or two before being allowed to go free. So far the present season has been favourable BIG TIRE SALE! Now you can get a BRAND NEW.

Wednesday, August 118th., liil Wooden hand-drills to produce fire, much in the same way our modern Boy Scouts so ably and so frequently demonstrate. They tell me it's true that the first really useful friction match was de- veloped by a druggist, John Walker, in 1827. Walker's matches sold for ten cents each. Called "lucifers", they spluttered and popped like a fire cracker when struck, They were splinters of wood dipped into a mix, ture of antimony, sulphate and potas- sium chlorate any; sugar and gum arable, and were lighted by being pulled through a folder piece of ab- rasive paper. 1831, Dr. Charles Souria of France perfected the first phosphorous fric- tion match. From then on, phosphor- us was used in all matches. Matches were made by hand at first, and then dipped into the phosphorus mixture, a hazardous method which resulted in death by necrosis of the jawbone to many match-makers. The entire match industry was none too success- ful until 1911, when an American chemist, W. A. Fairburn, produced a sesuisulphide of phosphorus match that was non-poisonous, containing more than a hundred ingredients. At the suggestion of the then-president Taft, Fairburn dedicated his patent' to the people of the world so that a safe and non-poisonous match could be made cheaply and safely. So help me . . .

Many of these are frequently observed at the pres- ent time along our roads and—a word of warning to motorists—a pheasant is a trusting bird which is very loath to get out of the way of a car, Each year many of them are killed in this way, So drive care- fully when you see them for every bird you run over now means one less bird for the hunters and one less pheasant dinner in the fall, They Tell Me It's True - By BOB CLARK - A man who speaks an English of a superior kind is often said to speak the "King's English". How the phrase came into being is an interesting story that encompasses much of English history, From the time of the Norman Conquest to the 14th century, the language of England was in a very unsettled condition. Latin was used in formal written docu- ments, while French was the tongue of the courts and the nobility, Saxon was universally spoken by the lower orders, and even this varied so greatly that the people of the south could scarcely understand the language of the north. The language of the royal court could not, naturally, be comprehended by those who knew only Saxon, and so a language suitable for royal edicts and proclamations was gradually formed. To distinguish it from mere dialects it was called "the King's Eng- lish", The eminent early English writer, Chaucer, was frequently about the royal court at this time and learn- ed this new type of speech and he be- came the first writer to adopt the new English language just completed, The celebrated book, "Piers Plow- man", was written in an earlier dia- leet, as was the Wycliffe Bible, But Chaucer wrote his "Canterbury Tales" in a speech that was termed "The King's English", from which emanat- ed the English language we speak to- day. * * * It is the customary practice when voting upon the admission of a new member into a fraternal organization to use little black and white balls, The white one indicates admission, the black refusal. All of which leads into our story of the word "ballot", meaning a printed or written slip used in electing. The use of the black and white balls goes all the way back to the cus- toms of the ancient Greeks. In their elections the Greeks tossed white pebbles into an urn in approval of a candidate, and a black bean against one, Lodges and fraternal organiza- tions revived this almost forgotten custom. From this, incidentally, we get the expression "to blackball a person", which means to reject or deny admission to .6. person. It was from the French word for these little black and white balls we adopted the word "ballot". The word was origin- ally "ballotte", meaning a little ball.
