It will be remembered by many, the barn on Mr. Stephenson's farm was burned about 2 months ago, and on this. occasion workmen and neighbors were assisting, in an effort to re- build the barn while Mr. Stephenson 1(the elder) and his little grandson who had just run home from school and was close to , his grandfather, when without warning the old wall collapsed burying both.

"Yes, its a real neighbourly act, his wife added, "Think nothing of it,' said Harry, "They say, you know, that on Anxiety Street there are plenty of neighbours. Certainly I've learned a lot about being neighbourly from the business I'm in." Harry's business ... the life insurance business ... is founded on that very thing. It comes to the aid of anxious people in time of trouble or bereavement. Four million people have foundthatthe surest way to peace of mind for themselves and their loved ones is to pool their savings and share in the benefits of a fund which pays out more than half a trillion dollars every working day to policyholders and beneficiaries. Lite insurance was designed to provide protection for the people through the people's thrift.

Diehl in his 88th year. Mr. Diehl in spite of his advanced years had had fairly good. health until Sunday night when he became 111. Born in Stanley township 63 miles from Clinton on Dec. 3, 1858, he was a son of the late Mr. and 'Mrs. Valentine Diehl. On Oct. 21, 1885, he was married to Mary Ann Stevens, also of Stanley, Last October he and Mrs. Diehl celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary. Follow- lug their marriage they farmed on concession 4, Stanley, till 1921 when they retired to Clinton. He was for a number of years agent for farm im- plements; more recently he had work- ed as a carpenter. He was very fond of horses and always kept a horse that he could drive liar'ound town. He had been an active churchman all his lifer, a member of Wesley -Willis 'Unit - H,1 church. Mr. and Mrs: Diehl had. two children, both of whom pre- deceased their parents. They were William John who died in infancy and Percy Arnold who was killed in action in France in August 1918, Surviving beside Mrs. Diehl are two sisters, Mrs. John Carter, Strathclair, Mau.., ' and Mrs. )3.

Stephenson, George Johusten, John Dowson, John McMurtrie, George Folliek, and Mark: WILD FOX SUSPECT Veterinary science has chalked up another indictment against the fox,. Wild red foxes have been a serious factor in the spread of rabies or hydrophobia in more than 14 of the United States during the past year, according to the American Veterin- ary -Medical Association. Normally wary and elusive, a fox with rabies will attack viciously and without fear. Pastured live stock are ,partic- ularly spbject to rabid fox bites, while foxes, skunks, and civet cats may all spread rabies, stray dogs are still the most common disseminators of the disease. In Canada, through the alertness -of the Health of Ani- mals Division, Dominion Department of :Agriculture, contagious diseases, like dourine and sheep scab' do not exist in Canada; no case of glanders occurred for seven years, and in the cases of sporadic outbreaks of hog cholera, anthrax, mange,and rabies, steps for eradication are at once taken. LAKE HURON SUNSET By Edgar A. Guest Sunset on Lake Huron is a glorious sight to see, The waves seem robed in purple; goldleaf's on every tree, The day slips out so softly, as on tip -toe it must tread Lest, it wake some baby angel that is sleeping overhead. We stand in adoration on a tall and rocky ledge As the sun slips down in splendor at the water's distant edge. And if ever we have doubted that the Lord is good to men The inajesty of evening brings us back to Him again. I have said it to the children and I've said it to my friends: " 'Tis too bad the room is darkened when man's earthly journey ends. Could I have but one wish granted when I reach my final day— With a touch of sunset glory I should like to slip away." CLEAN QUARTERS NOW FOR LAYING PULLETS The cleaning of the laying pens to house a well reared, vigorous flock of pullets for fall and winter pro- duction is an important factor in poultry managemenit.

SEAFORTH MOTORS Chevrolet -Oldsmobile Goodyear Tires owner has for the management of the flock. At the Poultry Division, Dominion Experimental Farm, Nap - pan, N.S., the months of August and September are most suitable for the flock. After the disposal of the surplus. stock all the litter and house equip- ment is removed. This allows for the thorough scraping and scrubbing of the interior with a stiff brush and a proper cleaning solution. After the interior is cleaned and drying out, the other equipment is disinfected and when clean and dry is put in place again. The use of a hose with a good force of water is practical for good cleaning. Lye is about the best cleaning ma- terial. Use one pound (a can) to ten gallons of cold water. Should a stronger solution be needed, one pound to five gallons can be used. This solution should be used care- fully as it is caustic and can readily cause burns. Another cleaning solu- tion is any good coal -tar disinfect- ant and water. Use three ounces to twelve quarts of water or follow directions on the container. This makes a milk white coloured solu- tion. After all the cleaned house and equipment has become thoroughly dried, the house is now ready to house the birds. Use clean litter, good feeds and proper care for high production and a high quality pro - duet. • BORN DALE—Mr. and Mrs. Keith Dale are happy to announce the birth of their daughter (Linda Martie) at Mt.
