Limited II Prize Winners at Seaforth Spring Show Seaforth, April 21. --The Seaforth Spring Show, which had been twice postponed on account of the condi- tion of the roads, was favored on Tuesday, April 20 with the best weather and the largest crowd it has seen for some years. There has nev- er been an occasion when the quality of the horses has been so nearly eq - eel. The competition was so keen and the number of entries so large that the judges found it difficult to make their decisions. The entry of carriage and agri- cultural horses was the best on re- cord, the quality also being above the average. That Seaforth is still the home of the heavy horse was witness- ed by the turnout yesterday. Sever- al offers were made for teams at tip-top prices but the owners refused to sell them.

Young Doctor Bellows felt that lie was on the high road to suecess when fbut aeknowledgee leader of the rui- leg soviet set, Miss Marcia Druse, sent eor hint. He was a newcomer in the village and had located there upon learning that the principal physician, Doctor Morton, was aboot to retire from practice. Bellows understood that Miss Druse bad been o source of regular profes sional Income to his predecessor.. He was In the drug store when the tele. phone message arrived and its pro. prietor grinned expansively. "I bope you diagnose Miss Druse'l case on the basis that Doctor Morton followed," he observed. "Miss Druse is a good pauent to am -se along, and you mustn't oppose symptoms. They comprise the pet frailties of her life. She has been that way ever since an electro-specifico-humbuggo faddist dis- covered that she had about everything under the sun. Why, do you know that she actually broke off the engage- ment with Col. Leo Dysart, the richest man in town, on account of the pre- dicted near approach of dissolution." The young physician made no com- ment, and realized that it was policy to net on his own Initiative. He spent a full two hours with this new patient. Miss Druse had a long list of symp- toms to present, a whole library of medical works, a miniature drug store in her cabinet, and Bellowat once analyzed the situation. She was physically sound, but with her idle whims and the arrant nonsense in- jected by the faddists she would, he foresaw, ultimately degenerate into a chronic hypochronditte. Bellows was serious of visage and sympathetic of mien, but this he af- fected in order to gain tline to think over matters and possibly rescue his patient from her fanciful terrors and infuse into her some eomomn sense. "I did not sleep °Sean last night, doc- tor," declared Miss Druse dolefully. "For several days there has been a stinging sensation In the left shoulder blade, dangerously near to the heart. I can feel a distinct lump there. Don't alarm me too greatly, doctor, if there Is still any hope, but I very much fear that It is the beginning of the end," Doctor Bellows diagnosed a 'vicious mosquito bite and feigned to ponder gravely. Ile had Interrogated his pa- tient as to diet and habits of exercise, and n quick idea suggested itself and he illuminated it to the full. "Miss Druse," he said, "do you -wish to become a perfectly well being, in all the fullness of your youth and beauty," "Oh, Doctor Bellows! you are flat- tering me," she simpered. "But—yes, of course I desire the restoration of my health above all things." "Then you must absolutely follow my directions. I will, leave you a simple lotion Oust will speedily elim- inate the swelling on your shoulder. We must arrive at a point where there Is more elastic actien to the vase mo- tor nerves, and for this I am going to give quite drastic directions. You must arise as early as five o'clock every Other morning, and walk in the dewy grass a full hour, barefooted." "I know I am too delicate to sur- vive the harsh ordeal," she wailed, "but if my niece Muriel will sustain me, I will try." Her niece Muriel Allen 1 Doctor Bellows met that bright, lovely young girl at the next 001, and front that moment his life seemed warmed by new sunlight. Somehow a misehievous twinkle in those Intelligent eyes told the young physician that Miss Allen shared his opinion as to the trivial character of the ailments of her aunt. Three mornings after that Doctor Bellows purposely came upon the twain tramping across the greensward of an Inclosed pasture. The shapely pink and white feet of Muriel twin- kled in and out of the dewy grasses with bewitching gracefulness. Miss Druse was grunibling a trifle, but al- ready showed the salutary effects of the new and needed exercise. "Ali 1 I would like to join you," de- clared Bellows animatedly, "I just met Colonel Dysart, Miss Drnse, who had caught sight of you in the dis- Mime. What a poetical being he 18 bre dilated upon nymphs—visions of loveliness and like enraptured sentie ments," and Miss Druse fleshed up like a sensitive schoolgirl end efuriel directed a quizzical glance at the young doctor, fully apprising him that she was able to analyze his tactics. At the end of two months Mies Dress was a new woman. Iler vagaries were dissipating one by one, rind Colonel Dy- sart was again a hopeful suppliant at the altar of love, "Doctor Bellows," spoke Mtss Druse one day. "I hope there is no danger of illneaa with my dear niece, She jest ran out of the room as you came. I noticed that her face grew flushed and excited, and I could see her pulses fletter as though there Ives some intensive action of the heart. She has started in writing po- etry and sits up late, I do hop* there are no symptoms of a nervotue breakdown," "Not at all," assured Doctor Be' loves, "These symptoms are natural with a young girl alive and pulsing With tile fulltees of the sheer 10Y of living," toad within bis secret mind he liniatV they Were eymptones of love, and sweertaffied It to a Certainty later en, and teas 0 happy Man, iihdeedl NEWSPAPER EDITORS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR CLASS OF NEWS London, ling. -.---The clean press bill (the purpose of which is to sup- plement and strengthen the British law against reporting what is moral- ly objectionable in cases before the courts), .Peesed Um House of Com- mons • tamest unanimously by a Vote of 222, only three members voting against it. This action does not mime that opposition to this much- needed bill has vanished. Those who think that it interferes unduly with press freedom still hope to insert such modifications in the committee stage as may greatly restrict its scope. It does mean, however, that all the Parties agree that a move of some kind has become necessary to control the flood of undesirable news now disseminated In the competitive re- porting of law court proceedings. Sir William joynson-Hicks, the Home Secretary, in the course of the I debate, pledged the government to passing the bill.

Jriclifierence, ignorance and caselesseess are the malevolent forees which resul in forest fires and only a thorough education of the public to the great need of forest preservation can eradicate these evils, lIntil the general public endersto,nds the full significance of the loss occasionedthrough forest fires un- necessary destruction of thousands of acres of fine tiinber will continue. The, menace to the financial health of Canada through forest fires has not been fully appreciated by the vast majority of the people. And Canadians especially should bo vitaily concerned in the we of their forests. The various phases of the lumber industry in Canada represent an invested capital of approximately five hundred million dollars. The associated indus- tries give employment to thousands of men the year through. Varian:, out of every five dollars the lumber Indus-, tries pay back to the country more than, four dollars for the wood, the labor and the tastes involved 'in the enterprises. I In the province of Ontario alone, about 20,000 neee are employed in the bush while 10,000 are employhd in pulp rind paper mills. The capital invested in these industries in Ontario is esti- mated at about $176,000,000. The orga- nizatioes employed by the Ontario provincial government for forest fire protection cost $3,000 a day.
