A man whose divorced wife was recently successful- In de- fending an :action to have her ejected from a house In Weston, West Virginia, defeated the course of the law by blowing himself up in court, When he beard the verdiet he walked over to a little group consisting of his ex-wife, her lawyer, his step- father and his son, and said he wished to speak alone with his wife. All left but the solicitor. Then the man put a hand un- der his pullover and joined two wires Connected with a battery, detonating sticks of dynamite at- tached to his body. He was blown to bits, his wife badly mutilated, and the solicitor seriously in- jured. When a person works himself into an insane rage he becomes a danger to society for, intent on destroying himself, he is unlike- ly to worry about the safety of others. Strangest of such suicides took place in San Quentin Prison, where a Pole awaited death for killing a woman with a pocket knife. Prisoners are not allowed metal tools or implements, so he broke off one hollow leg from his iron cot. Then he tore a pack of playing cards into shreds and soaked them in a bowl of water. When they were reduced to a soggy mass, he squeezed out the water and pushed them in- to the hollow iron tube, press- ing them home with the handle of his broom, as if ramming a charge into a muzzle -loading gun. He had discovered as a lum- ber -jack ,1•at playing cards are made of cellulose, a fibre from which trinitro-cellulose, a pow - F uit Trees Weather Floods - Despite floodwaters that still cover parts of Zeeland, The Netherlands, fruit trees bravely bear some blossoms. However, they .aren't expected to bear any fruit because of .damaging effects of salty sea water. Zeeland, one of The Netherlands' most fertile provinces, is slowly being rehabilitated, ecful explosive, is manufachired, and his holloiv tube became an effective home made bourn. He took the oil heater from one corner of his cell and held the tube over it, generating steam and gas within. No one knows how long he waited, but just before dawn there was a loud explosion. Floodlights were switched on, alarm bells rang; but when guards rushed to the scene all they discovered was a shattered cell and fragments of the condemned man. TIIEFMM FRONT Several years ago wno would have though that air condition- ing could save the life of any- one or anything? Today we know it ' as something that is healthful and certainly comfort- able, if properly controlled, but to be used as a "life saver" is rather unique to say the feast. The fact is, that the tines of thousands of newly batched baby chicks are being saved every year by the air conditioner that Morris Gray has installed in his hatchery at Rossville. Ind. ° * Judging from this unique "idea" of Mr. Gray's, it must be said that he certainly knows his business - and to further prove that statement, he owns and suc- cessfully operates two poultry farms, phis the hatchery at Ross- ville where he specializes in Barred Rock broiler chicks hatching ' about 30,000 a week throughout the year. * • * Before Mr. Gray installed the air conditioner in his hatchery, he and other hatcherymen were losing many baby chicks every summer through heat suffoca- tion. It is extremely important to keep incubating rooms from getting too hot, but during the summer months nothing seemed to solve the problem of beating the heat and the tragic, costly loss of the chicks, * * Finally Mr. Gray hit on the idea. of cooling his incubating rooms by installing an air con- ditioner. He called on the dealer over in neighboring town and, after sizing up the amount cool- ing needed, a 5 horsepower unit was installed. From that time on there have been no chicks lost due to heat suffocation. The incubating rooms aro kept at the dcgired temperature and humidity all summer long. Also dirt and dust are kept out by the filtering ac- tion of the unit. * a • Mr. Gray reports that several neighboring hatcheries, in ad- dition to many in the East, has heavy losses during the last hot weather season, and he feels these losses could have been avoided with the use of air con- ditioning. * * .An .Associated Press story from Pittsburgh says farmers now can. burn Vial to save their crops. It sounds queer, the story goes on, bit it makes sense. The research organization of the coal industry, Bituminous Coal Re- search, Incorporationhas devel- oped a coal-fired device. * • 0 By helping farmers harvest :xops at the proper stage a ripe- ness, the crop drier reduces the losses from bad weather And by providing a means of artificially drying crops, it eliminates an im- portant part of the hazards of weather in making hay or har- vesting grains. • This drier, the story goes on, is portable and thus can be used in many locations and for many purposes on a farm. This drier also costs less and it is cheaper to operate than other drying methods because it uses coal as the fuel. And it should prove e great asset, for the story quotes Agriculture Department figures showing that bad weather robs crops of enough protein each year to give seven and a hall million cows all the protein they need for six months. This device not only is a for- ward step in agricultural prog- ress, but it also offers another important market for coal. For, as the Agriculture Department. Yearbook says, "the mechaniza- tion of agriculture may have as far-reaching implications as the Industrial Revolution." * * * Canadian and American farm- ers will pay at least $45,000,000 to feed the large roundworms in their hogs this year, * * * That's the belief of Dr W. P Elmslie, noted livestock nutri- tionist and co -discoverer of the sodium fluoride - method of worming pigs. This hugs. feed bill does not include the death losses caused by worms, or the additional time required to feed out wormy hogs. * * * Here's how Dr. Elmslie arrives at his estimates. Farmers are ex- pected to market about 90,000,000 hogs this year. ..Approximately h a hal- or 45,000,000 - a r e "wormy," according to packers ;Dr. Elmslie believes each 01 these harbors at least 25 worms * * * Now, each worm requires one pound of feed. Figuring feed at 4 cents a pound, it costs $1 00 to feed the 25 worms in each wormy hog. That adds up to 45 million dollars for 45 million wormy hogs. * * Since he helped discover the value of sodium fluoride as a hog anthelmintic, Dr, Elmslie has supervised thousands of worming experiments. Because sodium fluoride is toxic to hogs. he cautions against using exces- sive doses. In tact, he has per- fected a three -clay treatment that is not toxic to hogs, but is' highly poisonous, to worms, * * * The best way to slash the huge feed bill is . to practice strict swine sanitation, he says, Hew - ever, because a single female roundworm can lay 26 to 27 mil - MERRY MENAGERIE /0 /i U 417 "Boss Lound out It wasn't true love!" lion eggg, one wormy hog might easily infest an entire herd. For this reason, and because you cannot tell if a pig has worms by looking at him, Dr. E1msJ.le rec- ommends treting them with a safe, effective expeller as the one way to be sure they are free from worm damage.

Paul pointed out to the church that there is a place of service for every Christian in the church. We all have different gifts which supplement each other and add to the building of the church. We should neither envy nor despise the gift of an- other. We should remember that we are the body , of Christ and members in particular. We re- call one humble woman who was - neither a prohpet not teacher but she said, "I want to be one of the helps." She was eager to do the little things she could to pro- mote the interests of the king- dom. She was especially noted for her hospitaltity. A full church paid tribute to her mem- ory on the occasion of her fu.- neral. She had -done what she could and her greatness was recognized. Paul clearly taught that great- er than any gift was the grace of divine love. Gifts of speech, knowledge or faith, without love, are nothing. In his beautiful hymn he says, "Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude; Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right" Love never ends, Faith will give way to sight and hope to glad fruition but love will continue to all eternity. Paul concludes with the word, "Make love your aim." John Wesley said, "If you seek for . anything but more love, you' seek 'amiss." The world needs a baptism of this love which is of God. It would melt away the en- mities and dispel the fears and suspicions that hold the mass of mankind in bondage. The secret and terrifying weapons could be displayed as curios of a darker age. But while sin holds sway, in so many hearts, men will fear and hate and kill, There is only one Deliverer, the Son of God, Jesus Christ Repentance from ot1r sins and faith in Him Will bring peace and poise and power. Let us pray and work that Jesus ' Christ may he revealed in the hearts of men. No one else can Ore man's !lis. He is our only (lope.

In both vegetables and flowers one should aim at a suecesslon of wraps or Mom, With quick ma- turing things like beans, radish, spinach,- lettuce,carrots and so on the best •plan, is to make suc- cessive sowings two weeks apart right up to early July, This will bring on a continuous supply of vegetables In the very prime of condition. With flowers, a cer- tain amount of succession is pos- sible, especially with those which normally are in bloom within six. to ten weeks after planting. Many people make it a practice to save a little of the seed in each packet, then plant this a feW weeks later, in this way we also have some Protection against a very late frost, or flood or other or other damage which may destroy the. first sowing. Watch for Bugs Even with bugs and insects around, and there are few places in Canada where these enemies are not lurking', it is possible to .grow the finest of flowers and vegetables, if one is reasonably on guard. For every pest, for- tunately, there is a control • or cure. The main thing is to get this control operating at the very first sign of attack. Careful gardeners will examine any damage like wilted or partially destroyed or eaten leaves, will regard with sus- picion any: sudden. check. Care• ful gardeners will also' supply themselves with some sort„ of a duster or sprayer and the proper materials to go with them. There is all sorts of equipment avail- able, and for the small garden it is not necessary to spend more than a dollar or two. There are also specific dusts and sprays ready mixed for use. As a general rule, Insects that eat the foliage are attacked with a poison such as DDT, arsenate of lead, etc., while those that suck out the juices like aphids and other plant lice are control- led with preparations incorpor- ating nicotine or tobacco .solu- tions, lime, sulphur or special soap, Finely ground sulphur dust is an excellent preventive for diseases like rust. Above all it should be remembered that a healthy, well -cultivated, well - fertilized garden is the first and main defense. If plants are left unthinned and surrounded with weeds, if the soil is .poor and growth spindly and weak . we have an ideal spot for pests to flourish. Keep a Record it's an excellent idea to keep a note -book and list certain jobs we are going to do for sure next year. We should also jot down such items as color and season of bloom, height, resistance to disease and drought and, of course, the name of any flower or shrub we see growing in a neighbous's garden that we hope to have' in our own. With certain lines of nursery stock, most shrubs, trees, vines, etc., one can buy and Plant !n the fall' just as well as next spring. By doing this we get these established earlier and save time for other tasks next year. Invitation Accepted.
