The young sten, who have no fixed place of abode, were arrested at Toronto. Before being brought to Goderich Holmes was sentenced at Woodstock to ,eigh- teen months in the Reformatory and the pair appeared before Magistrate Makins at Stratford and were sent- enced each to two years at Kingston. The sentences imposed here for Huron county thefts were to .be con- current with the previous sentences. The young men, ,good-looking and well dressed, appeared in court here handcuffed together. They pleaded guilty to charges of breaking, enter- ing and theft at Archie Hamilton's service station at Saltford and at Floyd Pridham's garage at Wood- ham, and to charges of stealing cars owned by Wilfred Quaid, of Port Al- bert, and A. R. Foote, of Varna. The four thefts were perpetrated in two days, October 6 and 6, and they were only part of a list of depredations the young fellows were involved in diir- ing their brief period of law''breaking. His worship remarked: "It seems too fiat to see two bright young boys following a life of crime. No one ever got anywhere that way. The best way is the straight and narrow path. It may be hard, but you will never end up in prison. Yesterday at Strat- ford I sentenced you to two years at Kingston, and I am going to sentence you to a similar term on these charges, sentences to be concurrent." —Goderich Signal -Star. Start Work At Postoffice Work on the $11,578 contract for an addition and alterations to the Post Office started this week with a gang of workmen and trucks remov- ing earth from the lot at the back of the present structure in readiness for the new addition.

The new addition, 216 feet by: 26 feet le to the erected at the rear of the present building now housing the Customs Office. The part now in use for that purpose will be absorbed in: the alteration to the ,post office to facilitate' their work. Other improvements include the erec- tion of a loading platform on the west side, a new stoker and boiler, additional plumbing and lighting, a nen- entrance to the apartment above the postoffice, while other interior and exterior changes are planned for greater efficiency. Mr. 0, L, Paisley has been appointed inspector of the work,—C'linton News -Record. New Office Opened— R. G. Seldon's many friends are pleased to see hint out again after his long and serious illness. 'He' is looking well ,but still has to take it easy. Mr. Seldon has rented the south half of Mr. Senior's store and the building is now being divided.— Exeter Times -Advocate. Settle Dispute over Estate— The dispute over the will of the late 'Joseph Schmidt, known as -The Steel King of Bruce," who -died on April 19th, 1938, leaving an estate valued at $112,000, has been settled out of court. S,chmidt's custom of buying blocks of steel. which are still in the possession of the executors, bequeathed his estate to some 31 nieces and nephews. The judge, at the Bruce fall assizes at Walkerton, urged that a settlement take place be- tween the defendants, the executors and several of the nieces and neph- ews who brought the action claiming testamentary capacity at the time of staking the will. Mrs. Deachman Bereaved-- Mrs. ereaved—Mrs. Charles Russell of Asheville, North Carolina, sister of Mrs. John Benjafeld, of St. Thomas, passed away in Ottawa .after an illness of several months. Mrs, Russell went to Ottawa about eight months ago to visit her sister, Mrs. R. J. Deachman, following .which she was to have vis- ited St, Thomas, but while 'in 'the capital she suffered a heart attack, from the effects of which she never fully recovered, Besides Mrs. Benja- field and Mrs. Deachman, Mrs. Rus- sell is survived by two 'brothers, Ar- thur Grant and George Grant, both of Toronto, Mr. Deachman is mem- ber of parliament for North Huron, Mt.

There was a large ntiinhcr of JAPAN PLANS TO RULE EASTERN ASIA (Japan proposes to establish a new political and economic order in the Far East ,basecl on ,closer ties be- tween japan, China and 'Manchukuo. In a forma'L government declara- tion, marking' the 86th anniversary of the Emperor Meiji who was the founder of the modern !Japanese Em- pire, Japan virtually gave notice of the intent to establish its hegemony in Asia. Declaring that the govern- ment of Getteralissilno Chiang Kai- shek exists only as a local regime, Japan announced its resolution not to lay down .arms myth this regime is crushed so long as it persists in its "anti-Japanese and pro-Communist Policy," However, the door was held open for possible defection from Gen, Chi- ang Kai-shek in the statement de- claring that even participation of the Chinese government would not be re- jected if it would repudiate its past policy and remold its personnel. The 'Japanese declaration offers comfort to foreign powers which have interests in China. The state- ment contains no reference to these interests, but expresses confidence that "other powers will adapt • their attitude to the new conditions pre- vailing in East Asia." This may be interpreted to mean acceptance of Japanese priority in •that part of the world. BOTANICAL NOTES FOR NOVEMBER CHICAGO STOCK 'SHOW TO OPEN THIS .MONTH Heading the schedule of events on Chicago's fall calendar is the Inter- national Live Stook Exposition - and Horse Show, which will be , held there this year 1November 26 to De- cember .3. Stockmen and farmers from many states and Canada have already sent entries, for live stack and crops they will exhibit this year, in the competi- tions of this 1largest 'of the continent's live stock shows. Cash prizes total over $100,01010 in contests featuring 30 different breeds of horses, cattle, sheep and swine. Ever since the .first Lnternational show in (1000, the exposition has op- ened on the first Saturday after the American Thanksgiving, a calendar position that has made it :both the close and climax of the continent's agricultural fair season. Since a majority of the herds and flocks that are exhibited at the Chi- cago exposition have 'been prize win- ners at county and state' fairs and sectional expositions, held earlier in the year throughout this country and Canada, the International Live Stock Show has long stood as a court of last resort, where winning animals are accorded the highest: ,honor that the show ring can bestow, The exposition will the held in the new International Amphitheatre at the east entrance to the Chicago Stock Yards. 'The 'building covers six acres of exhibit area and. was built. to meet the special needs of the show after which it is named. This year will •mark the 20th anni- versary of the International Grain and Hay Show, a department of the live stook exposition. The crops show is the largest competitive exhibition of its kind in the world, and farmers front nearly every state in the :Union (Experimental iFaran (Notes) When fondled :by the few soothing andseductive days of 'Indian summer, some unconventional but dauntless. herbs will wistfully resume their courtship, and 'hurriedly set seed as though in .anticipation of disaster. Trees, ehrnbs and hedbs appear, like -some of us, to endure pain or ad- versity with a steadfast or unbroken spirit. They are apparently dauntless and have fortitude. Indeed, they seem to possess a ,strength of mind or spirit which enable thele to carry on with grim firmness as do the pillions of human heroes and heroines of cold, grey, stern, everyday life whose gall- ant bravery, devotion and self-sacri- fice will never he chronicled: "It is a brave act of valour to contemn death; but where life is more terrible than death, it is then the truest val- our to dare to live," But even .after death many herbs stand contemptuously serene, Towards the end of November, when winter has seriously gripped the earth, the wayfarer will notice those gaunt, skeletons, often the grim remains of goldenrods and asters, gleaning on the snowy ;bosom of the world. This is the final stage over the greater part of Canada in the terrest- rial existence of all herbaceous plants. The plant -lover treasures a record of this and all other milestones in the career of his vegetable friends; as he does the life -histories of his near relatives. The :first record of a plant's' life is its seed -stage, which corresponds with our gestation. For every seed contains a baby -plant (eanbryo) to- gether with enough nourishment to support life until germination or birth. Even the very tiniest seed is made this way, and is ready and will- ing to be born and grow up as soon as influenced by the right conditions of moisture, temperature, food and THURSDAY, IN0VEMBEIS 10, 1938 light. The second stage , would compare with our infancy, when the one or. two baby -leaves ('cotyledons) in' the seed, expand and grow towards the light; while the root, (radicle) whose baby -food. is nave exhausted, pushes its Tway -into the .soil in search of fur thea nourishment; growing, with breathless haste, root -hairs for that •purpose. 'It is therefore, 'like pus learn- ing to toddle and lend for ourselves. The third stage is the growth from childhood to manhood or adolescence whets, as with us, stature ,and char- acter are developed. Yes, indeed!' 'Plants can be giants or dwarfs; too fat or too thin; they may even be freaks. Again, like .us, they can be beautiful tor homely; •preoociots or .backward. The fourth or ifloweling stage would correspond with our courtship and marriage. In the (flowers are the male ((stamens) and the female l(pist- ils) organs of .teprochtc'tion. The male life -germs, in the pollen grains of these stamens, enter the pis'tilsand time with the •ovules contained there- in, which grow into seeds; after srttieli—if an annual—the parent - plant does; or if perennial by habit, enters into 'a stage of rest, only the root remaining alive. Thus in order to complete a record of the life of herbaceous plants, the collector must have the seed, embryo to adult phases, lowering, fruiting and skeleton stages of all his speci- mens. As November gives way to the lilt month of the year and the Christmas season, so plant -lovers may turn their thoughts , to more frivolous things. But they never forget how^ entirely dependent we all are •upon Provid- ence as expressed by plants, especial- ly at 'the great festival of peace to all men of goodwill. —E. W.

Fall plowing is the order of the day in most parts of the province. Harvest- ing of the seed crop in Haldimatnd is continuing with all possible speed. Sugar beet and celery harvests have been under way in Lantbton, Lincoln County reports that every farmer has more than enough ensilage to fill his silo, the first time in many years that this has beer the case. Potato -har- vesting is general in Middlesex, with yields varrying from SOO to 300 bush- els per acre and quality good. Hast- ings reports that livestock are in good shape there and milk flow is holding alp well for the time of year. North- umberland makes a similar report., Victoria states that the yield •of grain on most farms is the best in a few years. Red clover is of high quality in Grenville, while in Lennox and Ad - t dington poultry are going to market earlier than usual, with prices slightly r above last year.
