He said his firm obtained a contract under which National Distillers is in- sured' for $60,000,000 to *1'OOy000;- MO. On this .business the firm makes an annual ,profit of 71% per cent of the premiums, which range from $21510,000 to W50,000, he said. But that contract. was Obta'ined, Mr. Roosevelt declared, 4y ,..,•by"writing a new form of whisky in- surance policy and having it accepted by the Underwriters :Association." "The new schedules we wrote for national •distillers," he Said, "saved them ",?5,000 a year in premiums.'

"I neither telegraphed, wrote, nor telephoned -nor sent a message," he declared, "As far as I know Mr. Hill wa's not father`s guest in Warm Springs until after the election -al- most five months after I got the con- tract to insure Mr. Hill's life for $2,- 500,000." When Mr. Hill did visit the Presi- dent's Georgia home, the article dis- closed, young Roosevelt telegraphed Miss Marguerite Leland, the Presi- dent's secretary, asking her to '"take especially good care" of him and Paul Hahn, Vice -President of the American Tobacco Company, "be- cause it is important in a business way .to me."

My .father was an engineer, As brave as brave 'could' be. I loved him very dearly, And he thought the world of me. When be was called to Igo to work Why, then I'd leave •my play, And 'help hien carry his big grip, Down the road a little way. And when I'd see him •coming home, Again way :down the street, I'd run to meet hint doyfully, With swift and eager f eet. I'd run and get his slippers And climb upon his knee, Then peep into his. 'lunch pail, There was something' there for me. Sometimes he'd singra !funny song; Thai would make ,me laugh with Toy. Or tell me something that he did When be was a little boy. But now I stand out at the gate And look for hint in vain. And when I hear a whistle "blow I know it is not his train. , His watch he handled with such care, Still 'hangs upon the wall. ' He .said that .I might have it 'When I grow big and tall. I asked my mama if she thought, That maybe way up there He is running trains for Jesus, In that city bright and fair. His engine would be wonderful, The rails ale shining bright, And he'd never need a headlight For• there, there is no night. So when this life is over, And the angels gather all.

INFLUENCE OF MATURITY ON THE S'TORA'GE OF FRUITS (Experimental Farms 1Note) There is no single factor so import- ant in the storage of fruits as the condition df the fruit previous to storing, .L1 the fruit is not in proper condition all the trottlble and expense involved in storage will not ,produce fruit ,of maximum quality. Tlte most obvious factors inlfluen'c- ing fruitcondition are freedom from blemish and disease, .states W, R. Phillips, Division of Horticulture, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. For satisfactory storage 'fruits must be free of disease, insect infestation or bruising. Probably the most •vital factor con- tributing towards pre -storage condi- tion of 'fruit is maturity. I•f the de- mand for Canadian -grown fruits is to he maintained or increased, more con- sideration will have to be 'given to the stage sof, maturity at which the fruit is harvested. Tomatoes, for example, if picked before they turn .red, must not be subjected to temperatures 'below /415 degrees - 511 degrees F. I1 they are exposed to lower temperatures 'for any length of time,' abnormal ripen- ing ensues and a poorly 'flavored pro- duct results, If the :fruits are allowed' to ripen at higher temperatures then their storaige life may be prdl•onged to advantage by exposure to lower temperatures. Thus it is readily seen that the maturity of the fruit has to Ibe .given full consideration when to- nratoes are placed in storage or are transported. Pears also exemplify the itnport- ance of ntaburity influence on storage behaviour. Bartlett pears must :be picked in the green state for maxi- mum quality. Lf these are allowed to ripen on the tree the texture and favor of the 'fruit is not so high as if ripened off the tree at the proper temperature. Another feature With Barlett pears is that they may be stored at temper- atures as low as 30 degrees F. with- out injury if no sign of skin yellowing is evident. I'f the fruit is •allowed to ripen at the lower tentpeartures a poor product results. Thus the treat- ment for Bartlett pears is to pick them in a hand green state or just at a stage previous to the first signs of yellowing. These may be stored • at low temperatures 1(30 degrees F. - 34 degrees 'F,) as long as no yellowing is evident. While in this stage the pears may -be removed to a tentpera- ture of 60i •degrees Fs - 95 degrees F. for- ripening,. With Mclntosh apples it has been found that the fruit should he al- lowed to mature on the tree for maxi- mum storage quality, as with most other apple varieties, superficial scald and other physiological disorders set in if the fruit is harvested too early. Recognizing the importance of the matter. how is the grower going to determine the proper stage of matur- ity? While it is hard to tell the stage of maturity of fruit by outward changes, nevertheless, such things as the ground color test, pressure test and iodine tests can be used to guide the 'grower in estimating maturity of fruits. If a grower is keenly observ- ant and is ,familiar with his crop, he is able to estimate maturity fairly closely, The .problem then is not so much one of judging maturity -but of real- inzing the drastic effects which mat- urity may cause with fruits which are placed in cold storage. Going To Meaford- Rev, C. A. Seager, Bishop of Hur- on, announced Saturday the appoint- ment of Rev. H. T. Appleykrd, as rector of Christ Church, Meaferd. The appointment will date from Oc- tober 1st. Mr. Appleyard, who is now in Kerwood, is the son of 'Canon App:leyard, now retired and living in Hamilton. it was awfully hot in New York Aug, 3 when Frank rGiongio, magis- trate, took the 'ben:ch. The roost reg- istered 90 degrees. The ,place was crowded and pretty soon it ,,got hotter -i11016 degrees, in fact. Abraham 'Mar- ker, chief clerk, noticed it, too. Final- ly, the magistrate halted a case, say- ing: "Find out .what makes this place SO hot." In the 'basement, 'Mr. Marker found a group of .workmen staking a roaring fire under a broiler they were installing. They had 'forgotten to turn off the heat registers. in the court- room. MagistrateGiorgio called a recess until the room 'cooled back to 90 degrees. "By the way, precious, what .cake are use having dor supper tonight?"

Early varieties of peaches grown in the :Ni- agara 'Peninsula, Ontario, and in the Okanagan Valley, British. Columbia, are now on the market and will soon b'e 'fol:laved by later varieties. This year the crop of peaches is a good one, and the duality is excellent. Of all the fruits grown none is more lus- cious nor more 'healthful than peaches.

This then should encourage the *build- up of a constructive horse improve- ment program. As with an) other 'business, how- ever, same fundamental data trust be secured if der-elopmnent is to be made upon the proper basis. For ex -ample, what is the cost of raising a colt? 'Can economical returns be secured ev- en if pricee remain as they are? These if prices remain as they are? These problems are among those that are receiving attention. At the Dominion Experimental Farm at Nappan, three colts were foaled in 1936 and three in '15;3,tr, Data have been secured on the feed cost of rearing these colts from birth to one year of age, and from one to two years of age :for the 10,35 trio. The feed consumption of the dam is .charged up front foaling to weaning as well as the feed consumed by the colt. The average feed cost far a colt to -one year of age was $58.52, The three 1905 colts cost an 'average of $1129.4133 for feed alone at two years of age. When the dams perform any work between foaling and weaning (a peri- od of six to seven months) the value of 'this work at eight cents per hour can 'be credited against the feed fed to the colt. 'For exain'ple, if a mare worked 6100 .hours while nursing 'her colt, a credit of $410.00 would reduce the .actual feed cost to less than $20.00 at one year of age. The labour and in- vestment charges are additional to ,the above and will average about 10 per cent of the :total: Therefore the actual cost of a colt at two years of age will be approximately 1571115.010 3f the dam is idle during the nursing period, Considering ithe cost of raising a Dalt, it would appear to 'be pool .ecori- Doty to use anything -but the 'best stallions available.A few extra -dol- lars for service fees Inlay be easily off- set by the extra value of a good d'r'aft colt of the proper type when ,compar- ed with one of •poor• conformation, There is practically no ;difference in the cost of rearing coltsof either class.
