WEIGHT AND QUALITY, In no farm animals are marketing weights of more importance than in lambs, During the season of plenti- ful supplies a few pounds' increase in weight makes a great ,difference in the classification and price of the dressed carcass. It is also becoming less and'. less' desirable to store 'heavy dressed lamb for winter use. The weights that lambs yield in dressed carcasses, therefore, make a considerable differ- ence in the average price paid to pro- ducers for live lambs, because • their value must depend ote the price re- ceived for -the product when it is sold to the retailer. Emphasis on those points is placed in the announcement made On behalf of lamb buyers that, in addition to the efforts that have been made to got rid of bucks and the usual discounts on culls, this year a further step is being taken to bring the lamb industry more into accord with consumer demand, The object is to promote the mar keting of well -finished Iambs between 75 and 95 Ib, in weight. This is .ne- cessary if the consumptive demand for lamb,me'a•t is to be maintained and ex- tended. To this end, effective August 4th, lambs over 95lb ot the market will be discounted 2 cents per lb. and effec- tive 'September' 29th all lambs over 110 lb. will be discounted 3 cents per Ib: (Bucks and cull lambs w=ill. be dis- counted as usual This step need not entail a hardship as it is obvious that all that is neces- sary is to pick out the heavier lambs of the flock and market them as they reach the prosper weights. Fatrther- more if the market in August is 'pay- ing, say 11 cents ,per pound, a 90 lb. lamb will bring the same return as one 20 pounds heavier when the mar- ket may have dropped, say to 9 cents 'per pounel a few weeks later. The ef- fort alt through is to promote and ex- tend the trade by stinnutia'ting a public demand through supplying a good quality, home-pr.+duced,l'amb. WEED -0 -GRAMS. • Mr. A. A.

The 33rd annual convention of the Huron Women's Christian Temper- ance Union met in the United Church at Brussels on Tuesday, July Sth, ,with three sessions and with the vice pres- ident, Mrs. A. E. Lloyd, presiding. The devotional exercises were con- ducted the Myth Union in the mor- ning. or- d b Y Y' nin. The department of work taken up by the County W.'C.T.IJ. are the following: Evangelistic, anti -narcotic, Canadian marine, citizenship, flowers, fruits and delicacies, law enforcement, Little White Ribboners, medal con- test, moral education, mothers' meet- ings, parlor meetings, press, peace and arbitration, railway employees, Sabbath observance, scientific temp- erance, temperance in Sunday School and Traveller's Aid. Many superin- tendents of these departments gave very full and encouraging reports. The devotional exercises by Blyth Union was followed by the address of welcome by Rev, A. W. Barker, pas- tor of the convention church which was a very thoughtful and inspiring address and Miss Bailie of- Goderich, very ably responded. The memorial service -then followed by Mrs. McGuire of Brussels, "'Of those who have stepped up to higher life," a few minutes standing in sil- ence as a tribute to Mrs, Wright, .Do- minion president of the W.C.T.U., while Rev. A. W. Barker led in pray- er. There were three other;, Mrs. W. Glenn, of Hensall,' Mrs. Morgan and Mrs, .pollard, ;f Exeter, Mrs. t Rev.) A. W. Barker sang a very pleasing ,•,lo, followed by a rivet by Mrs, William Procter and eras 1 .' .. .. _ „euan n .' The cenventimt speaker was Rev. D. McTavish, of James St. United Church. Exeter, his subject being 'Modern Menace," In opening his afdrees Sfr; Mc- Tavish congratulated the \V.C.T.U. upon the splendid educational cam- paign that they were inti lucting through the Sunday Schools. He spoke of menaces of the pres- ent day other than the government control of liquor which he expected had been dealt with in convention. He declared that the boys and girls of today had temptations more difficult to face thanthosef a o the previous generation. He 'claimed o = d th e movies to be one of the greatest menaces of the modern age, where crimes were com- mitted by the heroes and children and youngpeople made with familiar fa ill r w ' h P p murders and thefts where very often the guilty ones escaped. He claimed that in two hundred and fifty pictures. there were ninety-seven murder scenes and 'one hundred and sev-nty- six thefts, that only eighteen per cent. of the pictures were fit for children. The great difficulty in combatting the movies was that they were owned by large concerns and not under local management. Another menace wast he forms used Inc advertising on bill boards and magazine covers. Even a harmless drink such as orange crush oould not be advertised without an objectionable form. He spoke of the summer re- sorts, where people dressed to swim but parked on the beach. He spoke of the cigarette evil which was on the increase not only among our boys but girls as well and called upon all W.C. T.U. workers to combat all these ev- ils, By request Mr. McTavish' sang "The Big Ragget Wain" after which a very hearty expression of apprecia- tion was tendered to him. The election of officers then took place as follows: Advisory president, Mrs. A. C. Cooper, Clinton; president, Mrs. A. E. Lloyd, Wingham; first vice president, Mrs, Bender; corres- ponding secretary, Miss Murdock, Hensall; recording secretary, Miss A. Cottsitt, Hensall; treasurer, Miss Bail- lie, Goderich; Y secretary Miss B. Joynt, Wingham, L.T.L. secretary, Mrs, G. Johnston, of Goderich. ■11 any Thanks ...
