Big fires were. started in the city. Hundreds of people were killed and wounded, Finnish defence forces were rallied quickly into action, and anti-aircraft batteries fought bitterly against the attacking red squadrons. It was said 10 soviet planes were shot down, The Finnish naval forces met the Russian fleet. A message. said the Russians had occupied Hoagland Is- land. The raid on Helsingfors, a city of 250,000 population, caught mid- afternoon crowds in the streets. The Finnish government at once declared a state al war with Russia existed. The diet, Finland's one - chamber parliament, commenced a session Thursday evening, and early Friday morning the government re- signed. it was stated a new cabinet would he formed to consider Russian demands and peace proposals. Sweden, Norway and Denmark were thoroughly alarmedby the Rus- sian invasion of Vinland, and looked to their own defences, but officially maintained a non-conunital attitude Of neutrality. Copenhagen newspapers reported Italy already has sent arms and airplane parts to Finland. Many Danes, Norwegians. and especially Swedes, were expected to go to Fin- land as volunteers unless their got, ermnents prevented it, Direct mill• tary assistance, however, seemed ex - eluded. r Beate Monthly Statements We can save you money on Bill and Charge Forms, standard sizes to tit Ledgers, white or colors.

ADVICE ON "INDOOR GARDEN" The gardening sensor may be pro- longed after frost has cat down plants. The window garden may con - Mat of a jardiniere with one plant or a few choice potted plants on a stand, together with a few bulbs forced for winter blooming, says John F. Clark. Horticultural Specialist. Ont. Dept. of Agriculture. Toronto. Potting—Tho1'otcghly wash aid pots before using a second time, Avoid using too large a pot and remember your plant should be moved to just the next size larger, The best soil is leaf mould from the woods, mixed with any fresh loans and a little well totted stable manure. Place broken Pieces of flower pots on the bottom of the pot for good drainage and then add a quantity of soil, placing the ball of roots exactly in the centre, This will leave a free space all around the pot which may be sifted full of soil and firmed down midi the soil is within an inch of the top of the pot. After re -patting, give a good water ing, but after this be sparing of water until the plant shows signs of new growth, which will take piece simultaneously with its ,nutting roots in the fresh soil, Proper Position—The position for the plants tinting winter is in wind- ows with a southern or eastern eat, posure. Plants need all the light they can got in winter, especially those that are expected to bloom. To pre- vent draughts weskit are injurious to many, the windows should be tight.. Avoid extremes of temperature, but bear in mind that plants require a supply of fresh air. Tender plants should be Moved away from the win- dow on nights when real cold snaps a re experienced, Atmosphere -- The most wowing difficulty in growing plants in the home is the very dry condition of the atmosphere. If pots are placed in a fernery on small bloclte.. water may. he left on the ntottmu to provide hu- midity, of water snaked moss may be placed 1100011(1 the pots. If the plants aro in the kitchen. a pan of water may be left to boil, permitting the steam to escape. Resting ---Most plants require a period of rest. just as a human being needs sloop to prevent hemming ex• haustetl, so ac plant regttiree some- thing corresponding to sleep. We must imitate natur'e's way of doing things. Outdoor plants grow for a season and rest for a season, and withmtt that rest period they will soon be robbed of vitality and cettse to appear et their best. When a plant ceases to bloom and shows an in- clination to stop growing by ripening its leaves, encourage rest by with- holding water in a great degree, also permitting a less amount of light and heat than it has been receiving and withhold all plan) foods. Place it away in a darkened room, in the Net- ter, and seek to keep it as near a standstill as possible. Do not become alarmed if the plant drops all its leaves, for when it is brought to the light in spring, new foliage will ap- pear. \Want and For Sale .
