PRICES
REDUCED
When Spring begins to show, one's
*clothes are usually `touched up" in a
competent Cleaning and Pressing
Plant. When one knows that in ad-
'dition to quality work, prices have
been reduced, one hesitates no longer,
but gets all 'Cleaning and Pressing
done before the Easter rush.
It has been our privilege each
Spring for many years to "cheer up"
much clothing for many people.
May we attend to 'yours . ?

Former Principal Raises Storm of
Protest. -Ind'igna'tion greeted 'the
statement, "Some of the best mothers
smoke," made by George F. Rogers,
chief director of education in Ontario
and former principal of 'Seaforth 'Col-
legiate, to the Ontario Prohib'i'tion
Union convention on tWednes'day at
the Royal York Hotel, Toronto. 'Cries
of '"No, neo," came from the audience
and further protests were made when
the dit4ector declared, in his opinion,
it was ridiculous to classify smoking
with the 'deadly sins" such as lying,
stealing and killing.
I1.is a mistake to teach the youngs-
ters in our schools that smoking is
a deadly sin when his 'father, perhaps
his ;other, possibly his pastor, and,
very likely, h'is*'Sunday School teacher
use tobacco," said Mr. Rogers,
"How can we expect a teacher to
it+struct his pupils that tobacco is one
of • the deadly sins When his mother
smokes, and the best mothers in the
world do smoke?"
"No, no," called the audience,
"Some of the best mothers smoke,"
amended Mr, Rogers. "We can teach
a boy- that it is harmful for him to
form the 'habit of smoking, but to
Classify it with the deadly sins such
as lying, stealing and killing, is ridi-
culous,"
He also thought it amusing to put
temperance and 'hygiene and any sub-
ject that had to do with personal life
and the personal habits of a pupil in
the s'ante category for examination as
arithmetic, grammar or history.
Breaks Telephone Pole. — While
driving between' Egtnondville and
Kippen on 'Wednesd'ay morning last,
Mr. J. A. Neehill of London, struck a
rut in the road about four miles from
IEgmveel'vil a and lost control of the
car, which crashed into a telephone
pole and broke it in 'two. the car be-
ing considerably da.nta'ged. None of
t'he occupants of the car was' injured.
Traffic Officer Lever investigated the
crash and found it to be purely acci-
dental. •
Death at Detroit.._ On Wednesday,
March 2nd, Heleanor M. Allen, wife
of Kenneth Allen, formerly of 'Col-
borne township, passed'away ad De-
troit. Deceased was in her 27th year,
The remains were brought for inter-
ment in Colborne .cemetery.
June Excursion to Detroit. ---There
isprospect of a revival this year of.
the June excursion ,by boat to Detroit,
Mr. N. F. MacLean, under whose di-
rection for many years the Greyhound
trips between Goderich and Detroit
were 'run, proposes to conduct an ex-
cursion next June by steamer Pat -in -
Bay, with ' the low fare 'froom-Goder-
ich to Detroit and return of $2 for
adults and $1 for children. There will
be a "moonlight trip" on the lake .out
of Goderich and possibly . one front
Kincardine before the final departure
of the steamer for Detroit., The De-
troit excursion for many years was
one of the most popular events of the
season' for Goderich and district but
was abandoned owing to changed
traffic conditions.,
Taylor vs. Cunningham, —.Among
the cases tried at the Supreme Court
at Goderich by Justice Masten last
week was that of Mrs. Mary 'Taylor
of Auburn, administrator of the es-
tate of the late 'Hester Cunnhegh.am,
of Goderich, suing Vere D. ‘Cunning-
ham, of Colborne township, nephew
of the deceased, for payment of a
note of $1,000, wit'h interest accrued
at the rate of five and 'one -'half per
cent. The note, it was alleged, .had
been held by the late Miss Cunning-
ham and was found by Mrs. Taylor
during the process Of settling tip the
affairs of the deceased. Ctinu'in'gham
claimed to have paid the note and
produced in court a receipt alleged
to have been signed by his aunt near-
ly two years before her death in Fe'b-
�e'hruary, 1931. Mrs. Mary Janie Taylot,

MMISIII liar
the plaintiff, testified that a few days
after Miss Cunningham's death She
had taken over the administration of
her aunt's e'state. The note in ques-
'tiou, for $1,000, was found in a drawer
ht the residence of the deceased. Wit-
ness asked Mr. Cunningham for a
settlement•and received a reply to the
effect that the note had been paid. Itt-
formatiott that came to 'her caused
her, however, to doubt the truth of
this statement. Fler aunt had always
been a careful business woman and
was not likely to neglect to tear up
the dote if she had signed a receipt
for the money as defendant claimed.
Although payment of the note was
alleged to have been made in 1929,
entries in the deceased's .bank boot: in
19'30 were apparently payments of in-
terest on,the note. Defendant entered
the witness box and testified to the
circumstances of the snaking of the
note and also told of having paid it,
an May 11th, 1929, having given :Ms's
Cunningham $4000 in cash a day or
two after having received a suns of
nearly $2,000 for some cattle. :Miss
'Cunningham did not have the .note
with her, but 'promised to destroy it,
said :witness. Bank officials were call-
ed to show deposits to ,Miss Cunning -
tram's account up to the spring of
1930, and several other witnesses
were heard. Judtge Masten, summing
up, commented upon the conflicting
evidence, but held that the batik de-
posits showing payment of interest,
together with other evidence offered
by the plaintiff, were of the strongest
character. He awarded judgment to
the plaintiff for $1,000,, plus interest
from May 21st, 1930, and costs.

Fertilizer Experiments
In 1931- under auspices of the Ex-
perimental Union; 194 co-operative
fertilizer experiments were conducted
with farm crops on 776 plots. 'Cereal
grains showed an average inc're'ased
yield of 10 bushels per acre where
fertilizers were used; ' potatoes, 50
bushels s s acre; per 1 , turnip's 3.6 tons per
acre; mangels 10.7 tons; silage corn
25 ..per cent, and meadows gave .an.
increase of 4,315 pound's of green
weight materials. Commenting on the
work, D;r. Harcourt, Professor,' of
Chemistry at O.A.C., emphasizes the
necessity elf placiisg the fertilizer
within reach of the growing plant and
deep enough in the soil to be affected
by moisture. Surface aplpl.i'catioiis
are condemned except where land is
drilled for roots, in which case the
fertilizer is brought into the drill, O•n
meadows and :atfaifa the fertilizer
must necessarily be spre'ad on the
surface, 'brut where possible 'the mat-
erial should be put ;into the soil' and
near but,not in contact w1i'th the seed,
he advised.'
Grow Alfalfa.
With alfalfa seed cheaper today
than in a long tinne, this is a splen-
did time to grow` your o'wn ''feattil-
izer, Since reteen'tchment is vital,
the're is no alternative for the far-
mer, but to raise a large prolportion
Of his needs on Itis own land. Ile
will grow more of his own vegetables,
meats, and fuel, and many will use
alfalfa and sweet clover to put fresh
energy into the soil. Alfalfa can be
grown over a wide range of territory,
but sweet clover should be restricted
to those areas where there is no
danger of getting it mixed with the
small seed crops. Seeding clown a
field off alfalfa is easily equal to a
liberal application of manure. Aliso
because of its long, thick roots, al-
falfa is a splendid plant for opening
up heavy clay and also for adding
moisture - retaining humus to light
soils. Once establi•sheti it will in a
few years smother out most weeds
To derive ,most advantage from tihs
cheap fertilizer, it should- be followed
with Heavy feeding crops, such as
corn, cabbages, potatoes, or any mar-
ket garden truck. Where seeding
down for the first time, it is advisable
to sow at the rate olE 12 to 1.5 pounds
to the acre, acrd it is also a good plan
to inoculate the seed. As there is an
abundance Of high grade, home-
grown seed offered this spring and
the price is low, there should be no
temptation to buy anything but Gov-
ernment -tested alfalfa.
