Seasoned Timber by Dorothy Canfield CHAPTER X , SYNOPSIS Timothy Hahne, principal of a good but impoverished Vermont academy, lives a studious bachelor's existence with only his Aunt Lavinia for com- pany. Timothy makes friends with a new teacher, Susan Bariiey, and her younger sister, Delia. Timothy meets his nephew Canby Hunter, who goes on a skiing party in bad weather. They run across an auto accident in the mountains in which Susan is bad. ly injured. Susan gropes her way baclt W. N. U. FEATURES you were, brought up to be?

THTJRS,, JULY 1, ,1943 Farmers' Rouging Fertilli meters { at Earlier Dates Farmers of Ontario have been put-, ting in their stocks of fertiliver at a much earlier date than was the case l a year ago, according to the records) of the fertilizer subsidiest branch of , the ,0,alterie Department of Agrienl- Lure. 11. K, Hampson, supervisor of fertilizer subsidies, state's that the. number of subsidies paid to farmers at thisdate is four tames as many as was the case at the same period last! year. This, he says, is a definite indi- cation that the,farmers are well satis- fied with the fertilizer subvention pol- icy, and appreciate the assistance which is given them in this regard. The fertilizer subsidy, said : Mr. Those who had seats sat down rust IingIy. Timothy rose, went to the fremt of the platform' and stood looking out thoughtfully over the ex pectant:faces, "Perhaps the best place to begin,' said Timothy. "is at the beginning eight years ago when we elected Mr Wheaton as trustee of the Academy I'm afraid we all just thought the if we elected, a rich man as one of the trustees, we could get some Honey out of him. Andusing our votes tha way, the wrong way, has brought on us_ a great temptation ,to do wrong again, this time a wrong we soul never set right. Here are the term of the bequest."

After letting this sinit in, h added mere rapidly, "A quarter of million mare either for buildings or endowment is offered if girls are ex eluded from, the student body bu this is not made a condition for ob taining the bequest.' "I think now," said Timothy, pot ting the letter into his pocket, and speaking in a level yuan, "that pro bably this will had been • drawn it December, when I last saw Mr. Whea- ton in New York. But of coarse I bac no irlea of it then, and I could not understand some things. Mr. Wheaton said about the Academy budget.

Ontario, he said, has ample supplies ,of fertilizer for the present year, but the position for next year is more doubtful. All fertilizer produced on the North Am- erican continent is allocated by the Combined Food Board at Washington, i which allocates the available supplies to the allied nations. Thus a large part of the fertilizer produced in this country is likely to be allocated abroad, which would affect the home supply situation, and cut down the amount available in Ontario. The whole situation, however, is to be reveiwed at a meeting to be held in Ottawa this month, after which. the position as to supplies for next year may be somewhat clarified. -v Care of Crops Essential for Potato Increase With a decreased aoreage of potat- oes being grown in Ontario this year, it is apparent that the ten per cent increase which has been asked from Ontario growers will have to be obtained by improved cultural method's so as to obtain increased produc- tion per acre, says R. E. Goodin, field - man for the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch of the Ontario Department of' Agriculture. Reports received to date indicate that acreage may be about the same as last year, but that growers accustomed to small acreages may cut down in many cases owing to the high coats and scarcities of seed, la- bour and machinery Thus the ag- gregate acreage grown is likely to be considerably less than in 1942, which was almost the lowest in the past sixty years. The use of fertilizer at the rate of 1,000 pounds per acre is recom- mended by *[fir. Goodin, who points out that liberal applications of fertil- izer pay good dividends. "We dannot afford to let leaf hoppers and blight have a large share of our potato crop this year," say's Mr.. Goodin. Several groups have al- ready organized to spray or dust on "During the holiday season school children should continue buying Wat Savings Stamps, for in this period the wax will be prosecuted with even in- creased intensity", V IVIervkani Seamen so Gallant Yet Ask Little U-Jioat Campaign." Marking the close for this school year of a ,highly successful campaign to promote the sale of War Savings Stamps among school children of Huron County, Mr, R. K. •Wurtele, Chairman of War Savings Stamp Committee for Huron County, in an interview said that the students of primary and secondary schools had bought a total of $.16,576, from Sept- ember 1942 to April 30th 1943. "We are very proud of them. I wish to take this opportunity of thanking the Inspec,tors, Mr. Kincaid, Mr, Mc- Kone, Mr. Game, and Mr. Quarry, the teachers and pupils who have assis- ted in this excellent work. Death does not take a holiday on the battlefield, however, and school children and every one of us must maintain and redouble our efforts to Tend our Government every cent that we eatt" Mr, Wurtele continued, "Beginning June 28th and until the end of July, the Government is going to let every Canadian put his or her stamp money into depth charges. It will be called the 'Stamp out the U -Boat' campaign. Depth charges cost $90'' and Huron County is asked to buy at least sixty seven of them. The Huron County campaign will be supported by the Chairman of the War Savings Stamp Committee for your locality. In the principal shops you will soon find a large board poster divided into ninty squares, each square represent ing one of the $90 required for one depth charge. With the sale of four War Savings Stamps the purchaser may choose a 'Stamp -0 -Gram' mes- sage to Hitler, Admiral Doenitz, or to one of our own boys in the Royal Canadian Navy and it will be stuck on one of the ninety squares. When every square has been filled, the board will be sent to a Canadian ship using depth charges and will be tied to an actual depth charge. Your message will be read with interest by our lads in the Navy and undoubtedly many letters will be written by Navy men to those whose names and addresses appear on such messages. "Lets give them everything we've got" said Mr. Wurtele in closing. When we read of the gallant deeds by the hundreds, aye, and probably thousands, performed by our uteri of the Royal. Canadian Navy and the Canadian Merchant Navy, and. we rea- lize what they are daily accomplish- ing in getting the goods through to those who ate painting glorious pages in British history, we, are struck with the innate modesty and humbleness of these men. They are, judging by the thousands of letters received at Ontario Divi-- ion Navy League headquarters, gen, uinely amazed that we people, should take the trouble to send them wool- lens and ditty bags and comforts and magazines. These men accomplish a great deal. They are men, judged by any stand- ard They have sunk enemy craft by the dozen; they, have won scores of decor ations for conspicuous gallantry; they have delivered many millions of tons of guns, ammunitions, foodstuffs, planes and tanks; To do these things they had , to prove 'themselves men and sometimes supermen, and they have done so. They've faced shell and fire and star- vation and shipwreck. One merchant seaman came into Halifax the other day survivor of no Iess than twenty- two wentytwo torpedoings! And yet they write letters like this: "You have no idea what it feels like to find that somebody in all this world of madness can find time for a kind thought as expressed in your sening ! me that wonderful ditty bag. You Should have seen us when the ditty bags were given out! Bedlam broke ,loose while they were being opened, things .being pulled out and unwrapp- ed and comparisons made and candy 'passed around, south organs played and new pipes being filled! It is very thoughtful of your people throough the Navy League, to think enough of us sto send these ditty bags and give us all the other services we enjoy such as good accommodations ashore and magazines and comforts ashore and afloat": 1 Thoughtful of us!

Engines Keep Canada's War Goods Rolling eneesse • • , a-, s; 9 -he first of 20 powerful new freight locomotives of the Mikado 2-8-2 class being added by the . Canadian Pacific Railway this year, Engine No. 5417 was delivered on March 31 and put, into immediate service in the all-. important job of keeping Can- ada's war materials rolling on schedule, Completion of the cen- tred "held by Canadian Locomo- tive Company in Kingston, Ont., will bring to 84 the number of new locomotives added by the Canadian Pacific since the out- break of the war, with all of them sorely needed to meet busi- ness demands which in 1942 showed a 49.8 percent increase over 1939. Their construction marking the use for the first time of consider- able onsiderable Canadian -made boiler shell plate, so far as is known, the new Mikado -type locomotives also have in their makeup Canadian - made tender tank plate in quan- tity for the first time. Before the war these materials came from the United States and from England but the substitutes were necessary to avoid delay in delly- eiy of the locomotives which were ordered. in January of 1942. The first new Mikado -type lo- comotive is shown here;. with a close-up of two of its 63 -inch driving wheels. It will haul up to 5,500 tons or the equivalent of a 100 -car train, depending on the grades, and is so counter -balanced it can be used for heavy passens ger worlewhen required, such as the hauling of the long troop trains which must go through on time.
