-and some of it may come your way!
Yesterday Farmer Neilson got over $800 cash when he
sold his grain. Through the processes of trade and com-
merce, some of that money may come to you. Banking
service enabled' him to obtain his money quickly.
The farmer doesn't have to whit for his money until his
grain reaches the consumer; ; . this is important to you, no
matter where you live or what your work.
Farmer Neilson, and thousands like him, spend money for
household and farm equipment, food, clothes, radios, paint
and a hundred other things. This helps keep people busy all
over the Dominion.
Your bank advances credit also to help farmers plant,
cultivate and harvest crops of all kinds, to buy and raise live-
stock. Banking service is something like the good oil in fine
machinery, you never notice it. But it is a prune factor in your
prosperity ... in the Canadian way of life.

HAPPY MAYS!!
The takes and streams and forests of holiday
land are yours to enjoy ... and yours to protect
from their greatest enemy, fire.
Most forest fires are started by human beings.
Thousands of acres are blackened and destroyed
every year because someone was not careful
with fire.
When you use a match, break it in two before
you throw it away. Be sure your discarded
cigarette is out'too.
When you make a campfire, build it small and
in o safe place.
When yott leaver put the fire dead out with
water.
Wheat forests do
for you:
0 Give you a grand place to holiday.
O Provide beauty spots for our
visitors.
• Shelter game animals and fishing
haunts.
O Control flow of water . . . help
even the flow of rivers so they do
not dry up in summer.
• Help to ensure a year-round
supply of Hydro power for you.
• Provide thousands of jobs in
lumber, pulp wood and other
forest industries.
• Influence climate so as to prevent
extremes. '

Bello Homemaker! We frequently
slur over the "word 'sparagus when
we should say, Aye, it's asparagus!
Asparagus heads the list of our Ont-
ario fresh vegetables. Its tender
stalks shoot up every morning as if
to remind us to use them often while
the season lasts. We should too. Al-
though it's good as a fresh -boiled
vegetable, there are,, variations to
make asparagus a treat every day
fora month. Cream sauces with dif-
ferent additions each time are the
best toppings . grated cheese,
hard-boiled eggs, parsley, nuts,
mushrooms, are some suggestions.
And the way in which this good food
is served makes a difference—soup,
casserole, timbales, etc.
CREAM ASPARAGUS SOUP
2 tbsps. baking fat, 3 tbsps. flour,
2 tsps. salt, pepper, 1 tbsp. grated
onion, 3 cups milk (half milk and
half asparagus liquid), 2 cups aspar-
agus stalks, cooked.
Heat milk in double boiler; mix
flour bo a smooth paste and stir into
hot milk. Stir in fat and seasonings
and cook until sauce thickensi(about
15 mins.). Add 1% cups of asparagus
put through a sieve, fold in remain-
ing 4 cup stalks and heat thorough-
ly. 6 servings.
ASPARAGUS AND EGG
CASSEROLE -
2 tbsps, baking fat, 3 tbsps, flour,
tsp. salt, pepper, 13 cups milk, 3
hard -:boiled eggs, 21/... cups cooked
asparagus, bread crumbs.
Melt fat in saucepan, blend in
flour and seasoning. Gradually stir
in milk. Place a layer of cooked
asparagus in bottom of greased cas-
serole, pour over this part of cream
sauce, add a Layer of sliced eggs and
repeat until casserole is full. Top
with bread crumbs. Heat in electric
oven of 350 degs. for 20 mins. 5
servings.
TIMBALES OF ASPARAGUS
Cups diced cooked asparagus, 2
tbsps. butter, 2 tbsps, flour, IA' tsp.
salt, IA, tsp. pepper, ih tsp. onion
juice, 2 egg whites, beaten stiff.
Put asparagus through a sieve and
add enough milk to make one pint.
Make a sauce of butter, flour, salt,
pepper and TT/ cup asparagus liquid.
Stir in the above puree. Fold in egg
whites, pour into greased moulds and
steam 20 mins,—or oven poach.
Serve with egg sauce,
TAKE A TIP
1. Cook a little grated onion with
sliced carrots and just before serv-
ing add a tablespoon of orange juice.
2. Small cooked carrots may be
dipped in beaten eggs, then in
crushed cornflakes and browned in
a small amount of fat. Pieces of
cooked parsnips respond well to this
treatment too.
3. Salt and pepper are not the
only vegetable seasonings. Try a
clash of nutmeg with turnips, cloves
with beets, a pinch of thyme or sav-
ory in a minced vegetable dish, mint
with carrots or parsely with peas.
4. Some like to brown the sliced
onion before adding into the stock
and it does give a richer filavour
and colour.
THE QUESTION BOX
Mrs. C. F. asks for Mock Maple
Butter recipe:
MOCK MAPLE BUTTER
Use a smooth saucepan or frying
pan. Melt 3/c cup brown sugar with
2 tbsps. of butter, but do not allow
the mixture to burn. When melted,
add 1% cups of water and 1/3 cup
of brown sugar. Cook over a 'mod-
erate heat until the sugar is dis-
salved. Do not allow the mixture to
,boil.
In
a second saucepan, cook to-
gether 4 levels tbsps. of butter and
6 level tbsps. of bread flour—until"
mixture is bubbling. Allow it to cook
for a minute or two, stirring con-
stantly, but do not allow it to brown.
Now add the syrup mixture and a
few grains of salt, and stir constant-
ly to prevent lumping. -
Bring to boiling point and cook
until the mixture is smooth and
thick, then add 2 slightly beaten egg
yolks and ook for 2 mins. Longer.
Remove from the fire, . and when the
mixture is almost cold add 1/3 tsp.
of maple flavouring. This makes a
nutritious spread for children's
bread and they usually enjoy it. To
make it even more nourishing, milk,
instead of water can be used, an
which case the mixture must be
watched very carefully to avoid
burning it,
This mixture can also be used as
a filling for butterscotch pie and for
plain cake filling.
Mrs. A. E. S. says: That she uses
one-third as much flour as sugar to
make a cake frosting and finds the
1! AMMt;
frosting is smoother than one made
entirely of sugar.
Mrs. J'. Mc. says: That her hus-
band's favourite sandwich filling is
made of thickened left -over stew
put through the grinder. This is a
hearty filling as a spread, using
medium sliced bread.
Mrs. D. E. says: Grate off the
lemon and orange rind before the
juice is reamed out. Wrap in a piece
of wax paper and use later to flav-
our puddings, biscuits and breads
inexpensively.

'an The Job Again
The large Ruston fuel oil engine
if the Zurich Flour Mill which has
been overhauled by Mr. C. Cornish
5f Brucefield, is hack on the job
again and is daily turning the wheels
of that enterprising concern. A new
piston, cylinder and main bearing was
installed, and if these new parts will
last as the 2ormer oneh did, most of
us will have a few more years on our
span of life.—Zurich Herald.

Plan Memorial Cairn in
Old - Blyth Cemetery
The Blyth horticultural society is
discussing the advisability of erecting
a carin in the unused cemetery on
Ainsley street in the village which is
known as Horticultural Park, having
been beautified by that organization.
A number of tombstones, which mark-
ed the resting places of • people who
have no relatives there and whose
bodies were not removed to -Union
cemetery when the Horticultural' Soc-
iety took it over, are piled neatly at
the back of the park. it is now
thought fitting that a cairn be built,
and these tombstones placed in the
base, thbreby perpetuating' the mem-
ory of those pioneers. Some of the -
dates read 1865, but the cemetery is
believed to have been used much -
earlier than that. Rev. A. Sinclair,
Rev. John Henderson; and Mrs. W. A.
Watson, with L. M. Scrimgeour, were
named a committee to secure plans
for a suitable cairn.
