Nelson's 'Victo °;y' Under Fire Again Admiral Lord Nelson's Flag- ship Hit by German Bomb But Not Badly Damaged It was reported some time ago, says The St, Thomas Times -Jour- nal, that H.M.S. Victory, Admiral Lord Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar, had been hit. by a bomb in Portsmouth dock- yard, and we are glad to learn that the damage is not serious. This is surprising, because the Victory is one of "the wooden walla of England," and having been in dry dock since 1922, owing to deterioration of the hull which put her in danger of'sink- ing, the wonder is she did not. go up in flames. Fortunately, she was not hit by an incendiary bomb. * * Many of the ancient buildings and relics in the British Isles which have been damaged by CUDDLY TWINS 472 Sister and brother dolls ... as ante a surprise on Christmas morning as any youngster could want.

RA. 4135 bombs can be repaired and restor- ed to resemble the originals, but if the Victory had been burned there would have been nothing left of her but ashes. And she is one of the grandest relies of the ancient glories of Britain, Lord Nelson selected her as his flagship when he was appointed commander-in-chief in the Med- iterranean in 1803, a position just vacated by Admiral Sir An- drew Browne Cunningham. Visitors to the ole ship find her in almost exactly the same condition as she was in Nelson's days. There are the old guns— 12 to 32-pounders—and the hand weapons used by the men. On the upper deck is a small brass tablet with the simple inscription, "Here Nelson Fell." Below that deck is Nelson's dining -room with his original furniture exactly as it had been on that fateful day of October 21, 1805. Lower down is the "cockpit" where the admiral `'was carried and died that after- noon. Nearby, is the surgeon's office, with the crude instruments of that period laid out, some of which, no doubt, were used on Lord Nelson, 69 Holstein Cattle Sell For $71,610 Sixty-nine head of Holstein cattle brought $71,610 at the all - Canadian sale in Oakville, The average price of $1,037 repre- sented the highest attained at a Holstein consignment sale in Canada and the highest in North America since 1929.

Curran, the foreman, promises him a job if he can break a horse called Black Dawn, a notoriot.s killer, When Dave discovers Curran expected tate horse to kill hint, they fight. Dave hits Curran just as it girl rides up, She is bitterly angry with Dave for breaking "her" horse. The girl, Lois, rides off on Meek Dawn, and Dave follows, but she refuses to speak to him. Dave goes to a bar whore he finds two men, Lonergan and Hooker, quar- reling. "You put me off and you'll wish you'd never been born, Lon- ergan," shouted old Hooker. He had picked himself no and carne tottering forward, "a tragic fig - use, with his educated speech and scarecrow clothes. "I've kept quiet long enough. I'm warning you—" "Yep? And I warned you plenty that your shindigs in town has got to stop," rasped a voice behind thein. bills, which he proceeded to count. Tho total sum of Dal'e's remaining savings amounted to two hundred arid' sixty-five dol- lars, with some small change. "I'll take this Lonergan's re- ceipt for that mortgage int'rest," said Dave. "And here's the noney,' * * * Lonergan's eyes were popping, "Say, who sent you here?" he shouted. "Just what game do you think you're playing?" "Why, I'll tell you," answered Dave, leaning forward confiden- tially. "I'm figurin' that two hundred will buy me a job till I got time to look around some more. And I kind of hate to see an old feller like Mr. Hooker forced to pull up stages after 12 years because of two hundred and twelve dollars. So if you'll just fix up that receipt, Lonergan, me and Mr, Hooker will be rid- in' home." Hooker. grasped Dave's hands in his. "It'll bo pardners," he shouted. "I never hired nobody in niy life to work for me, and I'm not going to start now. Pard- nere, fifty-fifty, and I won't take The girt, Lois, stood in the entrance. Dave turned. A big man with a dipped black mustache and a star upon his Coat was standing just behind him. "He struck me across the face, Coggswell. I want hien arrested for assault and battery," shout- ed' old Hooker. "I've set some rights, haven't I?" "You got no rights while you're drunk and incapacitated, except - in' a cell in the town lockup," answered the sheriff. "And how about you, stranger?" he demand- ed of Dave. "I never seen you before that I know of. How come you're interferin' in this matter? Keep yore hands away from yore belt and speak up quick." * * ,. "1Vhy, I was just urgin' this reverend, or whatever he calls hit.. self, to pick an extra heavy- weight of his own brand," an- swered Dave, jerking his head to indicate Lonergan's bulk of paunch. "I'm just a harmless puncher, sheriff, ridin' in to get me a job somewheres." "You seen Mr. Ferris?" "I seen him and I had a few words with him and Curran. Re- sult no job," said Dave. ""Then you'd best ride on," said Coggswell, "As for you, Hooker," he add- ed to the di pian, "yes fork yore cayuse and git Lack to yore place pronto. Maybe you'll have time to sober up and make yore plans before the sale comes off." "Just a minute," said Dave. "Hots much is it Mr, looker owes this here Lonergan for back int'rest on his mortgage? I thought I heard something said about two hundred dollars." * * * "Two hundred twelve dollars and fourteen cents, if it's any in- t'rest to you,' the sheriff • an- swered. "You was thinkin' of payin' it, hub?' "Well, I i.it,no,' said Dave. "It seems kinder hard to put this ola feller out of his ranch for two hundred and twelve dollars and fourteen cents after he's been there twelve gars—wasn't it 12? And that there notice on the wall, presumably referrin' to his ranch, describes it as a valuable property of two thousand acres. "What you say to me lendin' you the money to settle with this Lunergai., and then givin' me a job as a puncher?" asked Dave, turning to Booker. He opened the pocket in his belt and pulled out a sheaf of the money no other way." Dave shrugged his shoulders. "Well if you. feel that way about it, Mr. Hooker, I'in willin' to oblige," he answered. Sheriff Coggswell cut short Lonergan's explosive oaths, "That is fair enough, Mr. Lonergan," he said. "If them two wants to execute a deed of pardnership, there ain't no way of stoppin' them. This is a sheriff's sale, and that's law. Heinle," he sheuted to the barkeep, "just bring me a sheet of paper and a pen and a bottle of ink, and come here for a witness, will yuh?" * * * Five minutes later, with the stoney transferred to Lonergan's pocket, less the sheriff's fees, and the deed of partnership in his wallet, Dave was assisting old Hooker, who looked completely dazed, out of the saloon. "Didn't want your pardner- ship, itir. Hooker," he said, as Hooker clung to his'"arm, voicing protestations of gratitude. "All I was looking for was a job. When we get to your house, and you've had a sleep, we'll go into .de- tails, Where's your cayuse?" "Over there," mumbled Hook- er, indicating a strawberry roan standing at the end of the hitch- ing -rack. Dave unhitched the horse and helped Hooker to mount, Once in the saddle the ola man seemed to regain control of his limbs, Dave mounted • his bay, and the two set off side by side along the street. Beans From Garden On November 1st In a small Victory Garden on Glen Ridge the lady of the house- hold went out and picked a quart of climber bea_.s, the vines of which, used to cover up a wire fence, had been prolific for many weeks past. The beans were partly consumed at lunch and with freshness had all the vita- mins. Is there any other part of Can- ada where green beans for table use could have been picked on November 1?

Rural Hydro Rates Reduced In Ontario Reduction in rural power costs, merging of all 120 rural power districts into one district, and the setting up of a Hydro -Electric Advisory Council, were :immune - ed last week by Premier George A. Drew and the Provincial Hydro Commission. A saving of approx- imately $500,000 will be accom- pllslted for the rural consumers under the changed rate, The present service charge to pain ary producer's is to be com- pletely eliminated, and the serv- ice charge to outer rural consuls* els reduced, the .Premier said, it was emphasized that the new rates will give the greatest reduc- tion where it is most needed, the districts where high rates pre- vail. "1 am convinced that the change in rates will greatly in. crease the use of electrical energy in the rural areas, will improve conditions on the farms and brake a large contribution to the .gen- eral economic welfare of the whole province," said the Pre- mier, "I am informed that with this change we will now have the lowest general basic rural rates in the whole world provided under similar conditions." The Government was anxious to make electric power" available for every farmer, and "we are do- ing everything possible to arrange for theconnection of new farms at present restricted by wartime control." , Prompt payment discount for all rural consumers was fixed at 10 per cent. Origin Of Term "Black Market" The black market got its name from a development in Germany it 1017 which, with variations, is being repeated in the United States in 1943, Ethyl News ex- plains: "German farmers, dissat- isfied with price ceilings set over their livestock, took to slaughter- ing their animals on moonless nights and selling the meat through illegal channels. Hence the terms 'black slaughtering,' and 'black market.'" each hingSg matchin envelope. and 24"AfIIZ71611.9MLJ AND r cmc TOP FROM DELICIOUS QUAKER OATS irMINK of it! 6 attractive Christmas cards and en- velopes to match and 24 gay, colourful Christmas seals in a wealth of different designs ... are yours for a fraction of their regular cost!
