Barn Burned.—Thomas Clark, gth line, had the misfortune to lose his barn, drive shed and outbuildings by fire on Wednesday night about 9 o'clock. He had been drawing in grain in 'che afternoon when a num- ber of pigs had got into the barn and laid down to sleep unknown to Mr. Clark. After _dark he went into the barn with a lantern_ to repair a broken hay fork rope, and while splicing the same he set the lantern down on the barn floor. The dog was with him and finding the pigs in the barn chased them out upset - the lantern with the results above. About three years ago Mr. Clark had his barn fixed up in splendid order and the loss is a severe one at this time of year, as his haycrop also his wheat and three loads of oats were already in the barn. The buildings were partly covered by insurance. Most of his oat crop still remains in the field with no buildings to store it in. BELGRAVE Miss Ruth Cole was a visitor with friends at Bayfield. Miss Louise McKenzie spent a few days with friends in Clinton HANDLING OF ORCHARI FRUITS Much time is given in the care of orchards to pruning, cultivating, fer- tilizing, and spraying, in order to make sure of a good crop of fruit, but after the crop is grown the har- vesting is too often not supervised as closely as it should be, wit hthe re- sult htat much of the fruit showe bruises and is proportionately less- ened in value. i3ecause of the short time between maturity and possible loss from wind or other causes the picking is, rushed as rapidly as possible. It is at this time that the orchardist should be on the alert, and constantly be with the pickers to see that duo care is given to the handling of the fruit so teat the least possible bruising will re- sult. The operation of picking all or- chard fruits should be done rapidly but with the utmost care. The fruit should be so placed, in the picking basket that it will not drop on the fruit already there. A drop of a few inches results not only in it bruise on the apple placed in the receptacle, but also in bruises on the fruit al- ready there, Bruises made by care- less handling may not be noticeable at the time of picking, but if one stops to consider the matter it is obvious that a bruise will ultimately detract from the appearance of the fruit and result in a lower price. It is also important to keep the future crop in mired, and so harvest that fruit spurs which should produce apples at a later date are not destroy- ed lwhen picking. It it es easy to harvest apples by giving an upward: 'ourn to separate the fruit from the spur es it is to pull the fruit from the spur, and to do the latter in many cases takes the spur as well. Picicees careless in this respect are causing a great annual loss to grow- ers, which can be avoided to a large extent by close supervision of the picking. an filling the barrel from the bas- ket the fruit should bo rolled into the barrel by dropping the basket halo the barrel and turning it care - 80 thal ehe Trait rolls ou4 Captain "Bob" Pearson, Famous I Rugby Player and Missionary In the West, With Overoe:as Reeord, Is Given Alberta Government Peed. i flan, 1 • By A. R. F, 1, Capt. Rev. Robert Peareon, known to everyone in .Alberta es "Big Bob" has been appointed chief motion pie- ture censor for Alberta , "Bob" Pearson was born on a farm in Grey Township near a little place called Ethel, in Huron County. He grew big, wide and husky and by the thee the reached Victoria College, Toronto, ear -marked for the Methodist minis- try, he stood six foot three or four inches and built accordingly. He had been a "soccer" player in a district where they played real "soccer," and a star goalie. However, a youth of this size and buildiwas not likely to be overlooked by the rugby managers in days when weight and strength were the chief factors on 'che line and when rivalry with McGill and Queen's was even greater than today. He was induced to try out for the var- sity rugby team and made good his first year as inside wing. For three years he was on Varsity's first team, and was one of the mainstays the year Varsity won the Dominion championship under the guidance of "Casey" Baldwin,. later one of the pioneers of aviation on 'che continent. This was in 1905. ALBERTA PICTURE CENSOR At Univ, zeity lin never deviated from, h pri 88 4,1:.s or from li!,; d 18 Y. mination to enter the ministry. Ile I was reepeeted for his staunch etick- ing to principles and there was no more popular studenic when he grad- uated in all ranks and all faculties than "Big Bob." Completing his ministerial course he went West and was a pioneer mis- 'sionary in many fields. Wherever he went he took with him his love of outdoor sports and was always the leader 411 athletics of every kind. It is said that he is the missionary hero of one of Ralph Connor's most fam- ous novels, "The Sky Pilot." I3y his personality and his character he is a natural leader and a man of influen- ce. He ,is particularly interested in baseball and. while preaching in Cal- gary, was elected president of the Amateur Baseball League for the province. He became an ardent :end enthusiastic curler. It has been difficult for "Big Bob" to tie himself up to .one church and stick to one pulpit. Finally he enter- ed the Y. M. C. A. work. Then came the war and, of course, a man of his energy and his leadership would en- list, and as a fighting man. He served overseas with the 49th and 31st Battalions, and for a yme was drafted into the Y. M. C. A. work. During the war the Alberta Legisla- ture decided to allow the soldiers to elect two rtiirt-.•,8ntative... Tieee chose 0 nurse and popular "Bob." When he returned from overseas he stood for re-election in Calgary, in 11921, as an independent, and headed the pollee Like a good many other soldiers he was unsettled on his re- turn toCsixni Canada oanandshedeclaboredide d'coetilnitlit For lawyer's office in Calgary. He was by this time 40 years of age. He again got the urge to preach and returned to the ministry as pastor of the lead- ! ing United church in Lethbridge. !Now again he changes his calling at the demand of Premier Brownlee, !whom he has known since college days, to become chief movie cnesor of Alberta. "Big Bob" Pearson is full of the milk of human kindness. Ile is as big hearted as himself and he is a perfect mountain of flesh. Ile mud weight today close to 300 pounds. He radiates geniality. You just natural- ly like him and it is no wonder that in life as in college, he has always been popular. Rev. "Bob" is a son of Mrs. Robert Pearson, of Gery Township and in school days at Listowel, was goal - minder for the Listowel Marlboros, when (Dr). Toni McRae also kicked the stuffing out of the ball.

Careless dumping of the fruit so that ono can hear the , operation is a sure indication of lack of appreciation on the part of I the picker as to the perishability of the product. Handle the fruit as you would eggs and the fruit will be pass- 1 ed to the packing house as it should be: It is useless 'co say thisis 4 practicable; it does not take more time to be carefulin this operation j and it returns a good profit. The handling of the barrel is I portant. Here again care in loading and unloading is necessary to avoid i bruising. If the barrels are headed I in the orchid careful racking, with sufficient pressure on the header to I keep the apples from moving in the / barrel, is all that is necessary. If before beading the apples are level with 'che groove for the head, they will be tight enough provided care in the handling of the barrel is' exercie- ed, W. and Mrs. Geddes.
