BRUSSELS CANADA THE LIEUTENANT- GOVERNORSHIP There has been much ado in re- spect to the appointment of a lieutenant -governor tor Ontario. It was generally understood that the matter had 'been settled end that His Honor Dr, H. A, Bruce would remain, Compliments to the King and Hepburn governments were freely expressed, Somehow, 'how- ever, there was a mussing up of affairs with the result that His Honor tendered hie resignation to have effect on December first, With the ill -service thus rendered came the suggestion of Hon. Duncan Mar- shall a sucessor, this being equally, as ill-advised. As a politician and a platform compaigner, Mr. Mar- shall has few equals. To be lieutenant.gaberno' is a different matter. 'Some of the arguments against his selection were doubt- less set on a firm basis. Others were weak, very weak. For example it 15 s:n'y to argue that he should not be appointed because he has been a party worker. How n.any of the governors have not been Again, to argue that the appciut meat is above party patronage le simply a waste of energy.

Forestry is a valuable work. The restoration of but a part or the lumber wealth, and that Is the best to expect, is seen as almost lna,era- tive, Though this may be termed an iron and concrete age, there is nevertheless an important' pati to be taken by products of the rtet, 'Plnlber and lumber are yet necess1.

Grey county council 1s to be commended for eetc'fna the list to counteract the 1'tithless. cess of the past by ensuring a sup- ply from hone lands. tra MAY ACCOUNT FOR IT Huron County Council has Really disposed of a case which has been hanging are dor a good many months. During the season of had floods in the spring a farmer was called upon one night to go to the assistance of five people—three of thele children—In a car. The car was stuck do a road where the water was t unning deeper every moment. - The former had no hesitation about going. He did not wait to have the authority of the towuship council or the county council or any other body. lie took a team or horses, went out into the flood and hooked onto the car and got it to safety. But that is not all, When he was making the rescue one et his horses got tangled in the 0araess and was drowned, Later the farmer asked that he he compensated for the loss of hie horse. The county council had some legal authority to look foto the matter and it was (teelered that the flood was "an act of Providence," or some smelt thing. Meaning, of course that as providence had caused the flood and not the coun- ty, then the county could t:0'- he held liable for the loss of the cw ee. And as argument goes we sappuee that was as good as any other 011ic;1 might he advztnced. But ,ire question was not allowed to drop there and at the last see% sion the county councillors agreed that the 'farmer should •be paid elm: for the lose of his horse and thank- ed as well for the Courageous thing he had done. Many of the mem- bers spoke saying they slid trot want -the world to be told they were too mean to pay a bit where a mare had risked his horses and also his own life. In fact they all ademed filled with -desire to say the seine thing at the salve time, .Aud the flood was a long time ago, to the in- terval nothing witg done toward paying the •bill, It may be that the near approach to another election had something to do with the fine and entirely proper attitude 10,,1,1 so generously adtvpted.

Bouncing Cranberries Few people have an idea wbat a cranberry has to go through be- fore it finds ids way to market, the Amerioau Weekly points out. For one thing the berry has to prove that it is, in a matter of speaking, :something of an athlete—lit bee to bounce over a barrier in order 'to get by the inspector and eventually go to the storehouse or the corner grocery as a !proper member of its species to be made into sauce and jelly, * Some time ago :this .business of making cranberries bounce was adopted as the surest test of good condition. The berries, deep red in color, have a rather thick skin, If the berry Is sound inside and its hide is prime it will hop v. dropped, If It is decayed or bruis- ed It Just plops dowln and refuses to leap over the barrier—and If it can- nel get over the fence it cannot go to market, * * * The berries are picked in the late summer or early fall but it is not un- til Thanksgiving and Christmas time that the market demand for the crop is active. F 0 k This makes it necessary to store the berries until people are leody to buy them and du the past this period of waiting has 'taken the bounce out of a lot of berries Government experts have found that heat is bite biggest factor in robbing a blushing cranberry of Its sprightliness and are telling grow- ers that their storeahous'es should be kept at a temperature of about 36 degrees—about four degrees above freezing—to keep the bounce in their harvest. :h dt dt In the vtcinfiy of Cape Cod, \far_ sacrusetts, the cultivation of cran- berries commenced early in the last century. Wide tracts of waste laud have been used for the purpose. Low easily flooded, marshy ground, worth originally not more than from $10 to $20 an acre has been made to yield annually from $200 to $300 worth of the fruit per acre. _^ WEE AN., EIS By A.
