Take Over Bank Building One of the most important trans- actions of recent years in Exeter real estate was consummated with the announcement of the purchase of the former Bank of Montreal building by the Exeter Public Utilities Commis- sion. Since the amalgamation, of the Bank of Montreal and Canadian Bank of Commerce businesses in the latter premises some six months ago, the Bank of Montreal has owned two buildings, while the Public Utilties. Commission has for a long period been housed in small offices which had become inadequate for their re- quir'emeuts. Included in the sale are the counters, vault equipment and other fixtures formerly used by the bank and it is expected that the Commission will be able to take over their new offices with a minimum of alterations. Ample grounds are avail- able for driveways, and garages.

Last week Ira had his chopping operations held up but it was not from a break down or from any of the usual things that might happen to retard such work. A skunk, evidently a nosey fellow, crawled in a hole in the chopper and dropped down about four feet Imag- ine Mr. Neill's surprise when he found this out, The big question now is how best to get the white streaked animal out so that the work can pro - teed.—Wingham Advance -Times. ..Prolific Cow — iiil Lyle Hopper, 3rd concession of Morris township, has a cow that has recently given birth to her second pair of twins within the past twelve months.

One of Tuck Sisters Struck on Highway— The following from the Palmerston Observer will be of interest as the Tuck sisters have appeared in this district and endeared themselves to their audiences by their Charming personalities and excellent programs. Saturday evening at about 8 o'clock, Marylen, Four-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Tuck, Minto Town- ship, ran into the side of the Hanover Coach bus which was 'coming north heavily loaded with passengers. She was knocked heavily to the pave ment, but miraculously escaped being run over by the rear wheels. The driver of the bus is said to have had no chance to avoid the accident be- cause if he had swerved further he would have hit parked cars the other side of which more children were at play. Marylen did not lose conscious- ness, although when she was rushed to Palmerston it was found she had suffered a compound fracture of the skull, one above the eye and the other near the back Of her head where the' scalp had been tiro con- siderably, Her little body was black and blue from head to feet, There is every indication that she wil make a complete recovery.

Usually development takes place most rapid- ly in grain which carries an excess of moisture, The mites feed on deb- ris, dust, and wheat hairs, as well as on the germ end and crease of ' the kernel. As a result of their feeding, the mites give off carbon dioxide and water following digestion, and the moisture Content is thus increased. When this reaches a point somewhat in excess of 15.5 per cent, the mass of the grain starts to heat, and if not properly handled, serious loss may occur, Frequent inspection it a safe- guard, If infestations are found, they should be reported at once to the Do- minion Entomologist, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture, Ottawa, for further advice.

The last war was responsible for that, Born in 1896 he graduated from'' Wingham High School; with a schol-.1 arship that tools him to the Univer-1 sity of Toronto in. 1914. He started in, the Mathematics and Physics course, with the idea of becoming a high school teacher. But like other M & P students at 'Varsity he came under the influence of Professor Michael Mackenzie. He admired his teaching so much that, along with several of his classmates, he prepared to take the Actuarial Society examinatiosn in the spring of 1910. Before trying his university exam- inations he enlisted, Joining the Uni- versity Battery of the Canadian Field Artillery. J.

At diff-' erent times he was with the Mutual Life of Canada, Continental American Life and Ontario Equitable Lite. In ' 1932 he returned to the Northern, be- coming general manager. He is a past -president of the Canadian Life Insurance Officers Association and of the Actuaries Club of Toronto. In 1927, 1930 and 1997 he attended the International Congress of Actuar- ies in Europe. He was the first Can- adian actuary ever to deliver a paper before an International Congress of Actuaries, the occasion being the Stockholm Conference in 1930. He is a director of the Loudon Chamber of Commerce and served for a number of years on the Advisory Council of the local branch of the Canadian Na- tional Institute for the Blind and the board of the YMCA. His wife is Mary Isabel Maxwell of Wilmington, Delaware. They have one son and two daughters: As the Horne Guard sentry stared into the darkness of the night, he suddenly heard a clatter and a crash, followed by strong language. I "Halt! Who goes there?" he °hal-, longed in clarion tones. Then, asthe moon suddenly popped, through the clouds he saw his order- ' ly officer rising to his feet. "Here, I say," he protested, "why didn't you warn me of this trip wire?" "Well, then I wouldn't have known if it would work," replied the sentry calmly; "and I spent two hours fixing it up." "Is your wife artistic?" "Artistic? Why she's so artistic that she doesn't care how the soup tastes so long as it's a pretty color," BRITAIN'S UNDERWATER FIGHTERS The courage and resource of Britain's under -water sailors fully equals that of Germany's U-boat crews, They have carried out innumerable successful operations against land and harbour targets iti addition to their steadily mounting toll of Axis shipping, Here, a British submarine returns to harbour after a successful patrol, Makes delicious SATISFYING Bead!

Be indicated that Russian aomnlun- Is Praised At I ism was soon forced to depart from CWNA Convention Sound appraisal of the merits of free enterprise and a warning that wartime controls must be relaxed as soon as possible after the war, were included in an address by Walter P. Zeller, of Montreal, given at the op- ening luncheon of tire- Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association con- vention in Toronto on Thursday, August 12. Mr, Zeller is president of Zeller's Limited, and has served vol- untarily with the Department of Na- tional War Services and the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. The real cause of the present war- time prosperity, with jobs for every- one and high earnings, was not, he said, the result of government con- trol, but rather the result of govern- ment spending. The products of our war industries and of field, forest and mine commanded an unlimited market, a market dictated by the un- limited demands of war, a market largely heedless of costs, a market unparallelled in peacetime, Mr. Zeller lauded the achieve- ments of Canadian troops overseas and said "if you want to find Nation- al unity, .you will find it -in the fir- ing line." Our fighting men, he said, would not let us down and we must not fail them. Our task is to do our very best to help win the war. Speaking of the kind of a country we would want after the war, Mr. Zeller said that freedom, as, -the in- dispensable condition of all progress, would be a unanimous demand. The opportunity for work for all men was not possible otherwise. "Finally we want a land where, without loss of freedom or the restriction of op- portunity, the weak and the unfort- unate will not fail to secure the arm of protection." He quoted Winston Churchill's warning "We must beware of trying to build a society where nobody counts for anything except the poli- tician or official, a society where en- terprise gains no reward and thrift no privileges." Defining "private enterprise," the 'speaker said it meant the "freedom accorded to private persons, either singly, in partnerships or ni groups, to engage in any business undertak- ing that they may choose, within the limit of the laws and regulations en- acted in the general welfare, on the expectation that if the undertaking prospers they may reap the rewards of their initiative; and on the under- standing that if the undertaking fails, they will bear the consequent losses. It means•a society free from those artificial restrictions, either by the state nor by monopoly, which pre- vent any person Who dares to take the risk, from setting forth on new economic voyages 'of discovery, It means a society whose future is not limited to the course charted by some feuhrer at the top." He stressed, too, that "private en- terprise does not ,mean the same thing as laissez-faire, any more than liberty means licence. There is no need to. deny the blessings of liberty to all in order•to restrain. the licence of a few." Private enterprise, he asserted, was essential for political freedom; and in support he outlined the re- sults of economic regimentation throughout'• history and particularly in the world today. He described the regimentation of German Nazism and Italian Fascism under which a citizen was reduced to the level of a slave, deprived even of the right to 'think'• for himself. The Russian Communist system,. he stated, was more honest in its approach, but its economic dictatorship left no room for political freedom. "We can ad- mire the Russian people for their constancy and courage in the defence of their native land, without admit- ing their politico -economic system," he said, adding that the Russion people had good cause alio to ad - orthodox Marxian principles in re- warding the individual on the basis of his productivity, "No society can escape the basic fact that maximum productivity can never .be achieved without the time-honored induce- ment of a greater profit for him w'ho. produces more." Comparing these to our own sys- tem Mr. Zeller said: "No one plann- ed the Dominion of Canada. It grew from the untrammelled efforts of pi- oneers who assumed risks in Bevel- - oping a land which commanded their unbounded faith. No government controls presided over the industrial revolution. No state controlled econ- omy built the factories, laid the rail- roads, launched the ocean liners, in- vented and developed the electric light, the telephone, the automobile or the airplane." These achievements, which he said have gladdened the lives and illum- inated lluminated the horizons of countless mil- lions, were the results of men work- ing under the economic freedom of private enterprise, spurred by the desire to better themselves and their fellow men, and stimulated by the • profit incentive. I "Under private enterprise has 1 been built here one of the highest living standards in the world. It still rises," To labour he warned: "Be on your guard. A regimented economy must include regimented labour." He not- ed with a sense of alarm the sugges- tion that the present manpower con- trol should be continued as a peace- time activity. I The question of whether Canad- ians were to be "dragooned into a chain gang of economic regimenta- tion" was not merely a scholastic dispute for political economists, he said, but "is a very practical issue that concerns the life of every indi- vidualco. " In nclusion he told the editors: "Few, however, bear havier respon- sibilities than you gentlemen. Your relation to the people you serve is most intimate. You survive because you are trusted. Your influence in I the molding of public opinion has long been appraised. I firmly believe that upon you will depend, in large measure, the final attitude of a host of Canadians who ponder the post- war Canada in which they live." How To Examine Farm Land Soil In evaluating a farm property and in estimating the chances of making a satisfactory living from it, the nat- ure of the soil, among other things, must be given serious consideration, state P. C. Stobbe and A. Leahey, Field Husbandry Division, Dominion Experimental Farms Service, in the Farmers' Bulletin No. 117, "Guide for the Selection of Agricultural Solis". The first essential of success in farming is to have a fertile soil that is adapted to the crops which are to be grown on it, However, in addition to productivity, other factors relat- ing to the soil, such as the cost of tillage and other management opera- tions, must be kept in mind. In order. to help farmers, the main features that should be observed in examining farm land' are explained in the bull- etin, covering in detail the examina- tion itself, discussion of the eleven soil zones of the Dominion, the vari- ous - soils, local conditions to be ob- served, depth, color, texture, struct- ure, together with a diagram key to soil classes and soil maps. of Eastern Canada and the Prairie Provinces.
