He will also address both Leagues and the Western Fair, many residents of respected citizens on Sunday eve, in the passing of Mrs. J. Id. Combe. A special train left on Tuesday for his remarks will doubtless stir up those enthuiastie young people that they will take greater interest in missionary work although the zeal they have shown in the pas_ t has been most commendable. Mr. T. J, Marks is taking in the Western Fair this week as also are Messrs. H. Erwin, G.'E'dwin and A. E.

Canada's third division will be as- sembled . in the Maritimes between Oct. 1 and 15th, and there equipped with full line of motor transports and guns of all sizes. The lst Divis ion is already in England ready to take its part in any fighting that may come. They have reached a very high state of efficiency and are ready to take their places beside the Empire's finest troops. Cpl. D. Ure of Calgary relates that when the Canadians who landed in France last June, had to retreat, they made a very thorough job of smash- ing their equipment to prevent it falling into enemy hands. Trucks were raced full speed head-on. into each other. Engines were smashed by hammers, while the gasoline was drawn off and poured, over the wreckage. Fire completed the des- truction, leaving only junk for the advancing Germans. Distinction of being the tallest man in the Canadian army is claimed by Signalman G. E. Smith, who en- listed in Frederickton, N.B., last week. He is 6 feet 7 inches tall, 21 years old, unmarried, and comes from Hoyt, N, B. Clinton were visitors.

THOMAS The 1940 annual four-day Interna- tional Ploughing Match and demon- stration of farm machinery under the auspices of the Ontario Ploughmen's Association will be held at St. Thomas, Ontario, on October 15, 16, 17 and 18. Already applications for exhibit space exceed those of any pre- vious year, and, taking into considera- tion the progressive record-breaking expansion in scope and attendance of the past few years -1939 at Brock- ville; 1938 at Minesing; 1937 at Fer- gus, and 1936 at Cornwall—the 1940 meeting is likely to reach the highest record, particularly in view of the popularity at St. Thomas as an agri- cultural centre. Second only to the keen interest displayed in the dexterity exhibited in the ploughman's art, great interest. is shown in these meetings in the farm machinery. The exhibit embodies the latest applications of engineeril g science to mechanized farm equip- ment and is a tacit reminder that, al- though the day has not yet come when spears will be beaten into plough -shares, the plough itself, the emblem of peace, pursues its unbrok- en course thronglrqut the centuries.

In Germany, we are told, all the dogs were ordered killed. Not so in Britain. On the contrary unusual precautions have been taken to care for them in the emergency. An organi- zation, the N.A.R.P•A.C., or National Air Raid Precaution for Ani- mals Committee, has this work in hand, and its voluntary workers are registering every cat, dog and horse in the country, providing each with an dentificatio ndisc, giving advice to their owners as to necessary action in case of air raids, and arranging for the return to their homes of all ani- mals lost or frightened away in the excitement. The people throughout the country were described by one worker as "Splendid; genuinely fond of their ani- mals and really more concerned about them than about themselves." One lady suffering from writer's cramp after visiting a home where there were seven cats and two dogs, and another live dogs and three cats, tells an amusing story which illus- trates this point.

OTTAWA, September 6, 1940. 93,22511111 Roct Cellar On Farm A Practical Asset CARELESSNESS IN SMOKING Carelessness in smoking was res- ponsible for more fires and for more fire loss in Ontario, than any other single cause, according to report from the offies• of the provincial fire marshal, covering the months of April, May and June. This is a fact that should be considered very care- fully by persons who use cigarettes, cigars and pipes. If they do consider the matter seriously they must real- ize that they should exercise great care in disposing of snatches, cigars or cigarette stubs, and when knocking out their pipes. During the three months period covered by the report, 1,081 fires were attributed to smok- ers, with a total loss of $338,363. The only classification which ap- proached or surpassed this was "un- known' 'fires, and it should be borne in mind that these would pebably include a number of fires caused by senting more than a mile in length of warm water. smoking. The total number of fires packages, cover only one section of in the province in this three months the activities of the Doulton Works, is given as 4,320, with losses amount- from which, in the last eight months, Printed scarfs will be good for au- ing• to $1,608,782.

As in Eastern Canada from early pioneer days, the root cellar in the Prairie Provinces has proved one of the most practical means of preserv- ing and storing farm vegetable crops. Among the many methods in use, the root -cellar has the advantage of low cost and simplicity of construction. Old lumber and materials on hand may be utilized wherever, possible. To. show how a substantial root cellar may be made, the Agricultural En- gineering Division of the Dominion Experimental Station at Swift Cur- rent, Saskatchewan, has drawn a sim- ple and effective plan for the con- struction of a root cellar which are given in recently issued Farmers' Bulletin entitled "A Practical Farm Root Cellar." It can be obtained by writing to Publicity and Extension Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa.

Bentley, national commissioner of the Canadian Red Cross, commented, "The Canadian Red Cross is greatly appreciative of the action of the Canadian Legion. In the early stages of the war they ask- ed our financial help in getting them started on an effective piece of work. We were embarking on our national campaign for funds at the time and the Canadian Legion agreed to do everything they could to help us. "We, in turn, pledged them a grant of $10,000 a month for six months. It was agreed that this grant would stop if they launched a campaign of their own during that time.
