This of course, is further to the govern- ment's plan to encourage civil avia- tion by the subsidizing of civil flying clubs. It is a well-known fact at the air force headquarters that the real need is for a trained air force auxi- liary, and an intensive campaign of recruiting among those who have learned to fly will be undertaken, it is understood. During the Great War one British aircraft corporation, de Havilland, which produces the Moth, built machines at a rate of one every 20 minutes. Many Canadians will re- member the DH4, DH9, and DH9A which were popular machines on the Western front. Since the war Capt- ain Geoffrey de Havilland, O.B.E., A. F. C., and his associates have turned their attention more particularly to the design and production of air- planes for civil operations. • Some time ago Captain F. E. N. St. Barbe, of de Havilland Company, was in Canada in the interests of his firm, and ,soon after his return home the establishment of a Canadian fac- tory was announced. The plant will be at Weston, Ont. The manager is It. A. Loader, who was assistant manager of the de Havilland Com- pany in London for four years. The secretary is Wm. Zimmerman, of Toronto. Aircraft on forest fire patrol in Manitoba report every ten minutes by radio to land stations, in case they are lost and have to be quickly located. Wireless control is thus ex- ercised over many 'planes engaged in this useful work, and it is also of great value in other operations of , airplanes, both in peace and war. •i. r•.. Illi Some facts now available about the giant dirigible Britain will send to Canada this year show she will have a gas envelope three acres in extent; will accommodate 100 pas- sengers, each of whom will be allow- ed 112 pounds of luggage; will have a crew of 35, her six 700 -horsepower engines will give her power and a speed of 80 miles per hour. She will have a cruising radius of 5,000 miles, Count Zeppelin, after whom were named the ,giant dirigibles made ie Germany. had tarried 43.,000 pas- sengers in thm e' floating monsters before the Great War, and was plan- ning a trans-Atlantic service when hostilities temporarily ended all his schemes. An airplain is divided into five groups of parts, as follows: 1, The wings, to sustain flight; 2. stabiliz- ing and controlling surfaces, to give .ability and make it steerable; 3, power r ^•roup, to provide the motion in the air; 4, the body, for housing the crew; and 5, the landing gear for alighting. ee In 1926 aircraft flew 5,000,000 nines over organized air routes in the United States without a single fatality. In Great Britain, in the same year, the Imperial Airways,, Ltd., alone carried 52,000 people and flew 2,500,000 miles without injury to a single person. I Talking about records recalls these world-beaters to date (remembering that every day brings something new) : Height record, 42,000 feet; endurance in air, about 52% hours; speed, 325 miles perhour. 1:111... h 'Types of aircraft in use in most • air forces of the world, for fighting purposes may be subdivided into the following six -groups: Scout or Pur- , suit; Observation; Army Co-op,era- I tion (attack) ; Bombers; Training; Cargo or Personnel. Canada now has four single -seater scout 'planes and Four bombers and these are to be fused for training and other purposes as well. These eight planes— four Siskins and four Atlases—constitute Canada's first real fighting equip- ! ment for her splendid Air Force. In 1911 the Air Battalion of the Royal Engineers had less than 12 airplanes and two small airships. In August, 1914, the British Air Ser- vices had 240 officers, 1800 men and 200 machines; in November 1918, there were 30,000 officers, 170,000 men and 22,000 airplanes. .Mr J'orce casualties in the Great War totalled 18000 air formations op- erated in 15 different theatres of war 8,000 enemy machines and 300 ob- servation balloons were destroyed, a- bout 750,000 photographs taken suc- cessfully over enemies' territory, and 12,000,000 rounds of amanunition fired from the air at enemy targets. fal4;io-t, ..i nfi,':.� :gid•{ anted .041,1111 We pay Highest Cash Price for Cream. 1 cent per lb.

The two sections of the Air Wing grew apart and Na re renamed the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Ser- viee. Late in the war, however, their commands were unified and they w3 -re reunited under the title of Royal Air Force, which they still use. .. Titles in the air force of most countries are simple, as they are the .;ane as either army or navy ranks. In Britain and in the tjnited States the army ranks are maintained by aviators. In Canada, however, ranks are peculiarly distinctive and ap- propriate. With their military equi- valents they are: Flying Officer (Lieutenant); Flight-Lieultenant'. ( Captain; ; Squadron -Leader, (Ma- gor; Wing -Commander (Lt. -Colon- el; ; Group -Captain (Colonel-Com- )1lmldant or Colonel -on -the- Staff), and so an into the chief ranks of Aim Commodore, Air Vice -Marshal, etc. The latter ranks with general offi- cers in the army. EGG POOL RESULTS IN STAPLE PRICES Organization Has Done Great Deal to Maintain Uniform Rate Sche- dule—System Was Operated Ef- ficiently—Price Slump in Product- ion Season Overcome. Many readers can remember when less than 20 cents a dozen was con- sidered a fair price for many months of the year. Credit must be given to the pooling idea, in part, at least, for developing a marketing proposi- tion that ensures a price well above 20 cents to the producer, even at the time of year when eggs are most plentiful. In fact, the pool price has stood above 30 cents a doz- en for the past four years. High Prices. When Ontario's first egg pool was opened in 1924 it appealed to those who had eggs to sell, particularly the. producer, as a possible remedy for the annual slump in price that came as surely as spring weather brought increased egg production. Regard- less of the effect the pool has had in stablizing prices generally, it is in- teresting to note that over a million dozens have gone into the pools of 1924, 1025, 1926 and 1927; that the payment made by the United Farm- ers' Co-operative company, limited, as the eggs were graded, was 20 cents a dozen, and that in addition, final payments were sent ranging from nine to fourteen cents a dozen, The total returns to peelers were as follows: In 1924, 3134 on extras and 29 cents on firsts; in 1925 and 1926, 83j' on extras and 30 cents on firsts; in 1927, 34 cents on extras and- 321,e cents on firsts. Present Year, The 1928 pool is now in operation and will remain open until such time . as the management considers it un- wise or unprofitable to producers to store for fall or early winter sale. All eggs tagged for the pool are sorted and graded as they arrive, only sound extras and first being placed in cold storage for the pool. The initial cash payment is 20 cents it dozen on those pooled while pre- vailing prices are paid for seconds and cracked eggs, The system of paying cash as the eggs are shipped, and a further cash payment in the fall, is a boon to local merchants as wen as to the farmer.

Those who hoped for most of the holidays on Mondays, so as to get the benefit of a long week -end, will be disap- pointed. According to the calendar, the holidays are as follows: May 24, Victoria Day, on a Thursday; July 1, Dominion Day, on a Sunday; Sept- tember 3, Labor, Day, on a Monday; November 12, Thanksgiving Day, on a Monday, and December 25, Christ- mas Day, on a Tuesday. No, the long week -enders are out of luck this year. There are only two pub- lic holidays coming on Mondays. If they want more time at the beach or in some far away city of delight, they will have to feign illness to the manager, or some other alibi. The calendar is no help. But there is said to be a move in some places in Canada to introduce the five-day week in business, so that the week- end would start on Saturday morn - nig and run along to Sunday night. This is practically what the trades unionists have been urging for some time. But, at last, another Monday holi- day appears on the horizon, the King's Birthday. It comes, actually, on June 3, which is a Sunday, but his majesty, appreciating the needs of holiday-makers much better than the calendar mathematicians, has declar- ed it to be observed on the following Monday. That makes three Mondays off this year. It might be worse.

Toll Gates in Harron The Treasurer's office at the court house is being redecorated and in the process of cleaning up some remind- ers of earlier days have been turned up. Two letters dated in the year 1872 recall the days of toll gates in Huron. They were addressed to the late (Col.) A. M. Ross, then treasur- er of the County by persons who were remitting money to him as rent- ! al for toll gates. One letter, sent by Margaret Lobb, is dated at Wing - ham, and states that the sum of $46 enclosed is to pay two months' rent of toll gate No. 9, on the Clinton and Winghem gravel road. The sender asks that th receipts be mailed to Belgrave postoffice. The other letter is from Mrs. Murray (no address) and enclosed $27 for toll gate No. 3. The fact that both letters are from women is probably an indication that the occupation of tollgate -keepers was one suited to women with no other means of support. It will bo ' Mr. Anglin—And why? The janitor—Because, sir, I'm al- ways either cussin' at the pupils or toadyin' to the teachers. BLUFFING THE BOSS Ile had applied for a job in a pur- 1 ist agency, and his only fear was because he could not speak any fore- ign languages. "Well, supposing we want to send you over to our Paris office," said the manager. who seemed impressed with the applicant's appearance. "Parlez- vous francais?" "What?" asked the young man. "Parlez-vous francais?" the man- ager repeated very distinctly. ; "Sorry, I don't quite get you." 1 The manager blushed faintly. "Speak French?" he said, with a casual air. j "Oh," exclaimed the other, beam- ing. "perfectly!" ffi+LOOK AT YOUR LABEL a surprise to many readers of this paragraph, accustomed as they are to travelling far and wide on roads maintained by the county or Provin- ce, to know that in earlier days toll roads were common, Wo do not know just when they were done away with in this county. Possibly some reader of The Post who remembers those days will write and tell us something about then. ' He was the Custodian (Renfrew Mercury) Mr. R. W. Anglin, M. A., the new school inspector, was here this week visiting the school. Mr. Anglin be- lieves that one of the important fig- ures about the school is the janitor, He says that they call themselves something different. One is "the Jan- itor," another "the caretaker" and another "the superintendent of the building," or any other such title de- noting that he is the big "bin." Mr. Anglin states that on enter- ing a certain school the first indivi- dual he encountered was the "man of all work." Ile greeted him and asked him, if he were the superin- tendent of the building. The follow- ing conversation ensued: The janitor—No sir, Mr, Anglin—Well, what do you call yourself,?

An- other group of 25 hogs wi1.$ fed the scone grain mixture, plus 300 pounds of skiul-milk - per 100 pounds of the grain mixture. The fishmeal fed eroatp gained ,95 pounds per day at as cost or 10.2 cents per pound, while the ekim-milk lot gained .04 pounds daily et: a cost of 8.4 cents per Lound. The fishmeal and skim -milk were changed at $10 and $4 per ton respectively. In 19223 two experiments were carried on. In each case a chocic 1,x:13 which received no animal protein supply, was included in the test, The • average daily gains recorded were as follows: Fishmeal fed lot, 1.25 pounds, skim -milk fed lot, 1.1 pounds and the check group, .93 pounds. The average costs per pound gain were 8.78 cents for the fishmeal fed lots, 7.57 cents for the skim -milk lots and 8.36 for the. check lots. In 1927 two more experiments were conducted. The gains were slightly lower with the fishmeal primps than with those fed skim - milk, but both lots showed greater gains than the cheek pens. In all of the experiments outlined, the hogs in the fishmeal fed lots were equally as good or better in type and finish than those fed skim -milk and both lots showed )narked super- iority over the check lots. The 1927 fed hogs were graded by a represent- ative of the Live Stock Branch and the results wcre as follows: Fishmeal group, 90 per cent selects; 10 per cents shop hogs; skim -milk groups, 80 per cent selects; 20 per cent thick smooth; check groups, 50 per cent select, 30 per cent thick smooth and 20 per cent shop hogs. Averaging the results of all ex- periments it was found that the hogs fed fishmeal gained 1.01 ppunds per day, those on skim -milk .985 pounds and the check lots .907 pounds, at a cost per pound gain of 9.5, 8.15 and 9.04 cents respectively. The digestible protein in the fish- meal cost 8 cents per pound. If the im-milk is charged at the same rate it would be worth $5.76 per ton in- stead of $4 and the cost per pound gain would be 8.8 cents, instead of 8.15. Fishmeal analyzing 70 per cent total protein or63 per cent di- gestible protein and selling at $80 to $100 per ton, is -one of the cheap- est protein feeds on the market at the present time and if fed at the rate of 6 to 8 per cent of the meal ration, will give good gains and de- velop a good type and well finished bacon hog, providing a balanced ration is fed. From the experiments above out- lined, fishmeal is recommended to the :non who is growing market hogs and has only a limited supply of skim- -1111k at hand. i j�Jl{��1�li1fU as')q!,♦- _ 1. o ,I I1111s1i�il� ill •, There are a great many ways to do a job of printing ; but quality printing is only done one way—THE BEST.
