To most of us the spectacle of a man like Kaye Don, who owing to the unexpected trickery of an oppon- ent, was cheated out of a rightful and well-earned victory, taking that defeat in true sportsmanlike spirit, is a very_ pleasing thing. We exult in it and do not fait to do same of ,the railing against his opponent Which he himself has refrained from doing. • Good sportsmanship is a very val- uable quality and the man or woman lacking some cif it in his or' her makeup are seriously handicapped in the race of life. Nobody adnnires a 'whiner, nobody admires a person who always must win, who will not play unless allowed to take first place. But naturally everybody likes to win, se that if sportsmanship is to be developed, it must be developed early in life, like every other good habit or trait, The field of sport is one of the best places to develope this quality and that is the great value of sports, the training in sportsmanship, the ability to, win or lose with a good spirit, and in team work, learning to play and work with others. The games of children, either boys or, girls, are important Because they help to form character. .The way. the bay or the girl plays games will give you an indication of the way he n" she will play the great game of life, will show whether he or she will be a, true sport or the opposite. I read a story in an American pub- lieatioh once about a professor who was visiting in England and who happened "tn be present when there were some inter -college sports on and one college team was short a man and borrowed a man from a rival college to complete its team. "But" said the American, "will he not favor his awn college will he play his best for a rival team ? "Oh, no he will not favor his own college," was the reply of an Eng- lishman who was his host, "For the time being he is with the other col- lege. He will play to win just as if. he were on his nwn team." The American was much impressed. He thought it, rather wonderful •that such could be the case. But is not that real sportsmanship, the sort we all adinire, even though we may not always practise It? 3t seems to me that real sports- manship is a quality which would help us all through life, boys and girls, men and women, we should cultivate it as much as we eat. - Sonic Grape Recipes Grapes are a gond crop this year. and as they are both appetizing and healthful, housekeepers would do well to use as many as possible, put- ting some away for winter use: Grapes Preserved with Honey Take seven pounds .of grapes (sound) on the stems, the branches as perfect as possible. Pack them snugly in a stone jar. Make a syrup of four pounds of honey and one pint .of good vinegar, with about three ounces of cinnamon and same of cloves, nr to suit the taste. Boil all together for 30 minutes skim well, and pour bulling hot over the grapes and seal at once. They can be kept for years. Ripe Grape Jam Four level cups (two pounds) cook- ed fruit, seven level • eups (three pounds) sugar, ane -half cup certo Use about three pounds ripe grapes, Separate skins from pulp halving the skins. Selmer pulp five niinutes in covered pan and remove seeds by rub- bing pulp through sieve.

Sep- arate the'pulp from skins. Put skins in kettle with just enough water to prevent burning. Plate in another kettle the pule, and cook until seeds loosen. Press through a sieve anti add to the skins with the vinegar, sugar and spices. Boil until 'thick. This is very nice to serve with roast meats. By omitting the spice and vinegar it makes a dandy grape 'butter. Perfect Grape Juice For two quarts of grape juice, use one quart of grapes, after removing from the stenos (do not crush) and one-half pound of sugar, Place a two -quart glass tan in boiling wa- tor. Be sure that the water is boil- ing and that the can is thoroughly scalded ,inside and out. Have the water deep ennugb so that when thr can is emptied and set upright the boiling water will come 'nearly to the top of the can outside.

TITURSSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1.03l.: Feeding the Bees for Winter The 'hnney harvest of 1931 has been gathered, good or bpd the bees have done their best, for it is; only nature and the beekeeper that are likely to rain the honey crop, and more often than 'not it is the bee- keeper, One of the most important phrases ct (beekeeping in which the beekeeper is apt •to min ,his pewee pects of a honey crop is that of feed= ing his bees fpr its Winter, and in spite of repeated warning from Do minion- and Provincial Departments, yes and through personal experience also, thousands of colonies perish or are seriously weakened every win- ter inter through starvation. Giving the bees food to carry them through the winter is not dune in the- spirit of fair play or for humanitarian real sans, it is a straightibusiness propo- sition, to keep living and at the' height of efficiency those insects that alone can gather future,crops of honey, Heavy brood production is necessary iri the colonies 'during the fall and spring, but • brood .can. not be produced without .fotyl. Dur- ing the fall there may or may not be sufficient ectal available to sti- mutate the bees to greatest brood production, and should the latter Ibe true. then feeding must be resorted to. ,So long as brood rearing is in progress and the bees can fly, they, may be given low grade honey, pro- vided it is not allowed to accumu- late in the hives, but for winter months the food provided ` mush be the best grade of honey or syrup made of white .granulated sugar. Enough honey should be saved from the clover flow to provide each col- ony with at least forty .pounds, while it is true that the average colony does not consume this announe the writer has known, of colonies that have starved to death on That a- mount. It is far better to find strong colonies with a surplus Of stores in the spring than eolonies depleted through starvation. Instead of giv- ing the bees honey the same amount of white granulated sugar made in- to syrup. two parts sugar to one part of water is just as satisfactory. The Bee Division ae the Central Ex- perimental Fenn, Ottawa, has test- ed ested many kinds of honey and syrup as winter food for bees, but- none have given the same results as clover honey and sugar syrup.

Timely Storm Saves Grand Bend from Destruction by Bush Fire Blaze Battled By 100 Fire Fighters As It Burned Over 2,000 Acres of Marsh Land and Approached With. , in Two .Miles of Resort Grand Bend: A sudden thunder- storm saved the village of Grand Bend from destruction of Sunday night when it brought under control .a fierce fire, which, eutting a swath a utile wide, had swept within two miles of the summer resort. About 2,400 acres of marshland, eloeated south of the village and east of the Pine Water highway, were burned rut Fee five anxious hours, beginning about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, 'while black clouds of smoke hung like a pall over the district, the saf- ety of .Grand Bend was in doubt. Nearly 100 men of the district went out to fight the flames and owners of summer cottages along the Blue Water highway, between the village and the fire, made ready to move out their furniture. d When the flames, extending on both sides and moving forward with alarming rapidity, threatened the village, the shovels which had been deed _to beat out the fire were fore- saken for plows. Large stretches of marshland were plowed up in an ef- fort to stein the march of the fire. But for several hours it continued steadily toward the village before the rain finally assisted the weary men. Three settlers on land, east of the bushland known as The Pinery, near- ly lost their homes. They were Joe Martelle, Ira Stebbins and Emery Stebbins. Other se$tlers were also in danger of having their- property destroyed. After dusk fell the flames lit up the sky for miles around, and in Grand Bend 'it was light as daylight. Starting about 1 o'clock in the after- noon the fire was fawned by a strong south wind, and in three 'hours hail spread to proportions sufficient to alarm the .district. , Although the smoke was heavy near the Blue Water highway, traf- fic was not interrupted to any great extent. Late at night the fire wt's still (burning to the west of Lake Smith, and Grand Bend was not in danger. The fighters had it under control • How the fire started has not been deteninfne1. The thebry was ad. vaneed in Grand Bend that picknick- ers or berry pickers dropped a match or possibly started a camp fire and failedto extinguish it. . The land, formerly owned by the Canada Land Company, is new held by a hunting syndicate.' There have' been several other fires 1n the same' area, Western Canada Sheep Bring Good Prices -Aa a furthee evidence that Wes- tern Canada is admirably suited to the production of high class livestocle. ane need but refer to the sale d£, three pure, bred Suffolk rams which were bred on tho C.P.R."Farm. 'at Til- ley, Alberta, and sold on August 25th, 1931, at, public Auction at the National Wool Growers Sale, Salt Lake City, Utah. This is the largest ram sale on the continent. One two-year-old, a yearling and a Tann lamb, all pure bred' Suffolks, and bred on the Company Farm, were placed on the express car at Tilley, consigned to the National. Sale, They travelled over three lines of railway and were looked . after by the Ex- press Company on each line of rail- way, `'They passed through the Am- erican Customs and arrived at the Sale in good condition. They sold at the following prices: The two-year- old brought $190.00; The yeti ling, $250:00; -Tile Iamb, $135,00. Considering the fact that the mar- ket for range sheep is so very low in the United States these prices are considered to be very high. The yearling ram was the second high- est priced Suffolk ram in the Sale and his selling price was only ex- ceeded by a ram imported from Eng- land The O.P.R. Farm at Tilley consign- ed two rams to the same Sale Iast year when their ram lamb sold for $80.00, the highest priced' Suffolk ram lamb- in the sale: A FRIENDLY INSECT DESTROY- ING CANADIAN'THISTLES Farmers from widely scattered points in 'Manitoba and Saskatche- wan have forwarded tot our Research Department specimens of caterpil- lars with the information that these insects are effectively destroying Canadian thistles. Professor Mitchener, entomologist of the Manitoba Agricultural Col- lege, classifies these caterpillars as those of the thistle butterfly, "Van- essa cardui," andj states 'that they feed upon Canadian thistles and are not destructive to cereal crops, and also that this year they have been wide spread in many parts destroy, ing large areas of Canadian thistle. Considering the large toll taken from the farmers' crops by such de- structive insects as cut worms, saw flies, wire worms, grasshoppers, etc., it is a relief to find at least one spe- cies of insect that instead of harm- ing the farmer is actually assisting him in his task of weed destruction, particularly with such ae dangerous weed, as the Canadian thistle.--,\iret- aslciwin Times.

THE EXPECTANT MOTHER The Health and well-being of the expectant mother are of great im- portance. Obviously, they mean a great deal to the woman herself, leer condition during pregnancy hue a direct effeet upon the expected baby. The far-reaching benefits of a proper start in life are generally recognized, and ea rt is . that the health of the expectant mother has a great deal to do with Both the pre- sent and the future health of her child. While pregnancy is a normal phy- siological function, it nevertheless places' an unusual strain upon the body. This strain, the normal worn- an is quite capable of meeting. She can do so with greater ease and com- fort if she has pre -natal ease, and, at the same time, she can, through such care, avoid the dangerous ab- normal eondit;icens which sometimes develop during pregnancy. Pre -natal care simply means that the expectant mother •places herself under the supervision of her doctor and follows his instructions. This is not a difficult thing to do, 'but be- cause it is not done, we,find arising out of pregnancy, a considerable a- mount of suffering and not a few deaths which could be prevented. The expectant mother requires pre- natal supervision. This supervision should begin early inpregnancy and continue throughout the entire per- iod. The need for it is disregarded by' most women because they know of so many others who have had their babies without mishap itotwit'h- standing the fact that they diel not call their doctor until the time of the confinement. It is quite true, that such is the case, , sometimes. Unfortunately however, it le not always so, and the expectant mother should be told that occasionally pregnancy does not gq smoothly and that if accidents are to be avoided, ,she should take the neces- sary pa'ecautinns, which, in thi's mat- ter, imply regular pre -natal super- vision. The abnormal conditions which oc- cur do not, as a rule, develop eud- deniy,' although to the woman and her family it may appear as if they did. If, however, she had been un- der supervision, her doctor would have iietected the abnormal condition, long before she had any idea that anything was wrong, and by pro- per treatment would have corrected it before harm had resulted. Maturity should be made as come Portable as possible. A, great deal can be done, through pre -natal care, iQ overcome, or minimize the condi- tions which are annoying or distreer sing to the expeetant mother. Mat- termity should be rendered safe, and thin can be done if it is supervised and kept in the normal safe channel by means of the direction of some- one who is trained to give such sup. erasion. Carelessness may lead to drifting into dangerous currents which do greater or less damage to those who pass into them, and which can be avoided by pre -natal supervi- sion.
