Posed As Transient— .A .well-dressed transieut appeared at .the hunne of one of our local min- isters and asked for some'thin'g to eat. The lady of the house prepared a substantial lunch and was chagrined to learn that the man had walked a short distance down the street, jump- ed into a parked truck and drove away.—Exeter Times -Advocate. Secured Artificial Limb— ' Jack Harness, son of Mr. and M re, A. T. Harness, has returned to his home in Exeter following a hitchhik- ing trip which took 'him to .Fllorida. This was Jack's second 'experience away .from home. .Last 'fall he took to the road again and travelled as far as Florida where he secured a position as office boy with a real estate firm. .Returning home he crossed' the bor- der at (Niagara and was in that 'place schen the big bridge across the Nia- gara River collapsed. 1lJack as a lad had the misfortune to lose a leg in a runaway 'accident. Since leaving home he has secured an artificial limb which greatly assists him in getting around, Hockey Sweaters Arouse Ire— Never was sport ::eo besmirched in the Bruce Capital as to have the rep- resentative hockey squad of the place cruising about as the advertising emis- saries of La'batt's lager by staving the big beer baron's name scrolled across the sweaters they are wearing. It is a well-known fact that the liquor trade is spending enormous sums in adver- tising to get the beer drinking habit installed into thousands, almost mil- lions, of young men and women, who do not at present know the taste of booze, and if the gift of the Labatt sweaters, with the big shot's name emblazoned on them, and which 'do- nation was made through his district representative, 'Mr. Alex. H'ogtnan, of town, who is president 'of the local club, isn't an advertising stunt, then what in the name of the seven sainted sisters is it? Parents who encourage their off -spring to attend hockey matches and view the world's fastest moving sport in operation, will hardly case to have their gaze focused on larger labelled uniforms as if suds and sport were synonomous, and as if the cognomen ""Labatt,' was a name to be conjured within any but a booze bib'bler's imagination. Walkerton is not so short of funds that its hockey stars must be linked to a'beer sign to get sweaters to func- tion in, and we have it on good auth- ority that a number of citizens are al- , ready ;preparing a subscription list to outfit the locals with a regalia that won't humiliate the sport with a suds insignia on it. Irs 'fact, with the protests we have heard against the brewers' balahoo it is questionable if the box office re- ceipts, in view of the threatened boy- cott, wouldfi't justify a prompt change of garments until a new supply of sweaters can he brought on the 'scene. Walkerton may be the 'booze oasis of the 'district, and there may be some local Echrian so wedded to this idols as to rejoice in it, 'but to 'have our leading hockey squad :du!bbed the "Brewers" in the outside press is to add the last straw that breaks 'the ca- mels 'back, and so the :rush to .get the beer .banners off the Bruce.Capitals before the name sticks, is amply jus tified.—Wallkcrton Herald -Times.

That little European country has vast possessions in the (Far East ent'brac- ing rich cul and, rubber produeing 'ter- ritory and a papalotion of 60 million people. (Japan needs oil and the most favorable place for obtaining it is in the ieresent (Dutch 'colonies. Holland has seat saulbanarines and aerop'hrnes to strengthen the -defences of hoer pos- sessions which stretch a distance of three thousand miles across' the Paci- fic and :Indian oceans. But she ;knows that she would be amebic 'to retain her possessions, unaided, against the might of the 'Japanese army and navy. Recognition of her own impotence makes her look lon'ging'ly towards Singapore and the 'ohances that Brit- ain, in her own interests. would be disposed to help her against an ag- gressor natio n. an Europe Holland is in Wrath the sante position as liel'gium. She lies be- tween two antagonistic cusps with in- comparably greater power than her owit. 'When the .League Of Nations promised collective security and in- cluded ail the menilbers of the rival camps Holland felt she cotrici safely subscribe to the Covenant and as- sume the obligation of membership in the League of Nations. 'But when trrance and 'Britain 'failed to enforce the ,covenant against Japan and Italy and to insist upon the League carry- ing its sanctions policy through to a logical conclusion, the small nations lost faith in the possibility of making internatiottal law effective ihroughontt the world and they became less dis- pased to make sacrifices for that Ideal, They concluded that their 'best policy was to show- favor towards neither opposing camp 'but to 'fall back on a program of str'ic't neutrality. For the present 'that is the attitude of 'both; Holland and Belgium. Both are arm- ing to maintain neutrality and their national independence against all tamers. Changes may conte in the interna- tional situation that stiight affect this determination to .keep clear of foreign cntaglements. The'J.ap.anese menace to the (Dutch East Indies, for instance, has become more serious as a result of the •Gerutnn anti-Communist pact and if Holland writhes to count upon British aid in the Tar 'East she' inay have -to look incrfavorably lemon B'ritis'h aims in 'Europe. The Dutch are not unfriendly to- wards Germany hut last year they smothered the Nazi party in the gen- eral elections, the popular vote of the Nazis declining (from 294,000 to 1,701- 000 or to less than 4 per cent. of the total. A different set of circumstances similarly hifluenoed the minds of the Belgian electors and they; too, over- whelmingly rejeoted the appeal of the Fascists in the 11913f77 elections, The general trend in .Europe may be ;plea's- ,ing to dictators but at 'least two little cou'ttries that are strategically located baffled .Fascist 'hopes during the 'last nine months.

Field Roots for 'Horses Turnips and carrots are the most commonly used .of field roots as feed -for horses. There is no queaeion as to the value of field noots as feed for horses, a value .which is too little ap- preciated. Roots are rarely sliced, or pulped when 'led to horses for the 'reason that the outstanding virtue in root feeding isthe 'beneficial effect on the' teeth and gums resulting from the necessary biting into the whole hoot. The prin- ciple values of roots in the ration for horses are: +1. Increase palatability. 2. ;Form a succulent addition highly desirable, forming as it 'does a food in the natural or unchanged dorm. 3. !Assists in or iincte,ases the digest- ibility of coarse folders. 4.
