The beet, cabbage, carrot, celery, Parsnip, potato and turnip require dark, slightly moist storage' space, while onions do best under dry, sold, dark conditions.

I -have no answer to this question— except this: individually we must be as righteous and clean living, clean thinking and clean -doing as the Bible bids us be. Each of us can be God- like in our thinking and behaviour. I am convinced that the world-civilig'a- tion—can be saved and made glorious by the purity and 'elevation of indi- vidual living and; thinking. Believing this I''do not have to worry over the state of the world or of the Christian church, or of society, And I would like all persons to believe this: There is a special work marked out for you to do. It may be of the low- est. It may be such as shall the lof- tiest powers employ. But -none besides yourself your work can do. eminent Toronto minister returned from a holiday* in England, he said that in his belief the Sunday even- ing church service would have to be abandoned. Perhaps he was speaking only of Toronto... And then other minister's said, publicly, the same thing. I do not know how it is' in respect of dinall communities and in our large towns and small cities.., It may be that their churches are full both morning and evenings on Sundays. Yet at all conventions of ministers of Christian churehes, it is lamented that the Church seems to be losing ground. I suppose that it was the Great War which hit the Church the blow which has weakened it, Many good people lost their faith in God during the -war: they' could not understand ow an all-powerful God could allow ucb terrible slaughter—how evil was apparently allowedto triumph, over ood. Of course the war led others to elieve in God more firmly and in- �d9tensely than ever: they saw the war • to be God's punishment of the peo- ples of the earth for all their aceum- ulated sins and violations of the TenCommandments. — Speaking for myself I was not able to see the great war to be anything different from other wars, except in magnitude. Its causes were much the same as the causes of other wars. In regard to its magnitude, that was not remarkable. The 'world had grown larger in the sense that all countries and nations had become more closely knit. into: one another --by interna- tional trade and international politi- cal relations,. Also, international communications had become i m - iensely developed. 'If we have an, thee world war, it will be similarly great in respect of its dimensions,nd will be similarly fierce and de- structive. Mere size of maniaand ere area of the war's coverage will e nothing to marvel over—no more an the immensity of size of modern o motives, ships, buildings, newspa- er circulations, industrial plants, mining enterprises; and so on.

More and more experience teaches that boys can successfully feed and tend calves; and by so doing, learn the essential principles of cattle rais- ing. The calf that gets a good start in life has the best charmof becom- ing a profitable ainmal at maturity, be it male or female. And the care of the cow or steer is not essentially different from that of the calf, as re- gards eating and drinking and sani- tation—after weaning age. It is poor economy to feed and care o for calves in any manner other than that which will allow them -to grow a and develop normally. A well -cared - for heifer has a much better oppor- tunity in to,develop into a. high-produc b ing cow than one which is poorly fed th and cared for. to In view of the short feed supply, p and in many cases a scarcity of milk, dairymen raising calves this winter need to do a careful job of selecting h Only the best calves to raise, feed It t1107ti aderimgtelyt and guard Carefully Against .disease. The importance of culling cannot a - be overemphasized. As a rule, about i one-fourth of the calves born' are re- ti Storing Soybeans By this time no doubt, all soybeans have been threshed and some atten- tion should be paid to the storage of this. seed. If the beans have been threshed in good condition, that is with a reasonably low content of moisture, storage will not be diffi- cult.On the other hand, a high mois- ture content adds to the danger of spoilage when stored. It has been recommended that storage in bags, which may be • moved . occasionally, Will largely prevent the danger of heating which is prevalent in large piles and will facilitate the market- ing of the beans in good condition. The Apple Market According to fruit crop reports re- .ceived from various parts of the 'pro Vince, there is little .evidence of late scab development and apple maggot infestation is reported to be excep- •tionally light, High winds early in October blew down a large quantity of apples in Central and Eastern On- tario orchards, as well as many in the Georgian Bay and Norfolk districts. The windfalls will be sold on local markets or readily absorbed by pro- cessing plants, so that very little ac- tual loss of apples will result. Apples have sold this fall at high- er prices than for several years. Many growers sold their entire crop, for $3.00 per barrel picked, with culls out, and the buyer furnishing the ,container. ; McIntosh have been in good demand at $3.25 to '$4.00 per barrel tree run and barrels supplied. More apples have been processed than for a number of years, with fac- tories paying from 75 cents to $2.00 • LICENySES AND PERMITS We like to boast a bit about our country, being free, But 'listen for a moment and I think you will agree That we spend a lot ofmoney in this present age and day For "licenses" and "permits" as we jog alongour way.

Brenner of Brucefield, President of London Conference was. the speaker. In the morning he spoke on Nehe- miah 4:6, "Building for God," and in the evening on Jeremiah 18:4, entreat- ing all to surrender their lives to God, who made the supreme sacrifice. In the morning the choir sang two an- thems and Mrs. N. Murray of Lin- wood sang, and in the evening Miss Helen. Lane and Mr. McDowell of Goderich favored with two duets. Rev. W. A. Bremner was a guest et the manse while in the village. Rev, H. C. Wilson preached in Brucefield on Sunday. Mrs. George Hamilton is home from Goderich hospital. • Mrs. O. E. Erratt has been on the sick list this week. Mr. and Mrs. J. Alvin Small of Toronto visited their sister, Miss Margaret Small, who is i11. The Anglican pulpit was occupied Sunday by Rev. A. A.

On Monday evening the concert, under direction of building committee, proved to be a fine success. In the absence of Rev. R. M. Gale, who could not be present, Reeve G. H.

And did they play. You ask me. Please don't gather from this that Westervelt did not .put' up a game fight. They extended our boys to the limit and their .girls would have beaten our girls if they had not per- sisted in making googly eyes, at our boys. Some even remarked we were rather lucky to gain a win, but since the final score usually counts we leave that to your discrimination. The C. C. I. boys paced by that spectacled gentleman from Third Forma—Finch—gained a 29-25 decis- ion over the Westervelt boys, Iiess- nedy, No. 1.8, of Westervelt, nearly proved unlucky for our males — He helped himself to 13 points, but our boys kept banging that old ball into the basket. They couldn't be stop- ped. They mustn't be- stopped. They were not stopped.
