Russia To Supply British Firm With Lumber. lvlontreal, —Soviet- Russia has just centered into a contract with a British firm to supply 870,000,000 feet ' of lumber, valued roughly at £4,000,- 1000, declared H. R. MacMillan,pro- aninent. British Columbia lumberman, in addressing the Montreal Whole- sale Lumber Association today. Mr, MacMillan told his audience 'ie had received a cable to that effect.

Pretoria, South Africa, -Business 'was at a complete standstill on forei- ;gat exchange throughout the Union ',of South Africa with the dawning realization that the .Government's monetary ' decrees of two days ago 'were to be accepted as a departure from the gold standard for the South African pound. . With the lapse from gold, various Government spokesmen made clear there is no linking up with sterling. Geteral Jan. Christian Smuts, lead ser of the South African (opposition party), forecast at Johannesburg, that business chaos would result from fail= lure of the Government to tie the South African pound to the :British, sterling notes. The reserve bank refused even to =quote exchange rates, although it was gathered unofficially that banks may quote a reduced discount rate on sterling today for the purpose of testing the pound before any decis- ion regarding the currency is an - flounced, Blow to Home Life . • Moscow—Russian housewives, wlio now may " purchase for themselves small rations of bread and sugar front. the Governmentr stores, will lose the privilege after Jan. 1, and three• after will ' beve to earn those com- modities by working in the factories. The government decreed that after the first of the year, all housewives underthe age of 56 will be deprived of the cards which entitle there :to purchase sugar and bread. In the 1 g category of housewives are included all healthy women not engaged in "socially useful" work. The wives of a number of high Government offic- ials are in this class. Ask 20% Cut in Rail Grain Rate Montreal—A reduction of approxi- mately 20 per cent. in railway rates for transportation of grain and grain products along the all -rail and' lake - and -rail routes from Fort William; and on the Georgian Bay route to Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, formed the basis of de- mandsfiled with officials of the Can- adian National and Canadian Pacific Railways by a special committee. Insul Free to Live in Greece Athens—Samuel ' Insull is a free pian,after a Greek court had refused to sanction his extradition to. the United States to answer Cook Coun- ty, I11., charges ,of mismanagement of the funds of its utilities companies. The court, after having peremptorily cut short the presentation of the de- fense case, found that depositions brought to Athens from Chicago did not support the charges against the former utilities operator, and let him go free. May Have Coalition Government Edmonton—Possibility of a coalit- ion government for Alberta recurred with the suggestion in some quarters that Premier J. F. Brownlee intends to propose the formation of a union government to the caucus of federal and provincial United Farmers of Al- berta members whose sessions con- tinued in camera here. The plan, will include invitations to the Conserva- tive, Liberal and Labor groups to join the Government.

NEWS of the DISTRICT Might Have Been Worse Mr. John Noble of the Huron road east, was driving west on the Huron road, near Orange street the other day, when a car which was following him turned out to pass. The driver, seeing that he could nbt get past, en- deavored to pull bads into line and in doing so struck the neckyoke of Mr. Noble's wagon, breaking it off. This let the tongue down, frighten- ing the team, which started to run, The tongue struck the ground and the wagon was upset, throwing Mr. Noble out. A splinter of the tongue ran into one of the horses making a flesh wound and Mr. Noble sustain- ed a bad shaking up and a fractured rib. It was a fortunate thing that the damage was no more serious.— Clinton News -Record. A. Big Turkey S. Hislop last week sold to the Orangeville A. and P. store a young turkey weighing 32 lbs. The bird was shipped to Toronto where it is said to have .been the largest ever taken into the company's Toronto warehouse.—Orangeville Banner. Stalked Groundhog Sneaking up on what he thought was a jack rabbit, a local gent, while hunting on Tuesday afternoon, was all set to send a charge of BB shot at the quadruped when it disappear- ed down a hole. It turned out that the animal was a ground -hog. The local nimrod thought he knew his rabbits but can be excused for his mistaken identity as it is most un- usual to see a groundhog out at this time of year, and which fact may strengthen the belief that the balance of our winter is to be open. -Port Elgin Times.

Mary 'smiled a tittle sadly, shrugged ham' graceful little shoulders, and said nothing. She wanted ['aloe to under- stand that she had her reasons for not encouraging Harry, yet she did not want to come out boldly and tell her that 'leery had a rival, ,All the time she could feel the sharp corner of the last note she had received. She had folded it compactly and stuck It up her long tight sleeve when she heard Paula coming. .She wanted Paula to know, yet there was so lit- tle to tell. "Maybe there's some one else," Paula said obligingly. "That would make a difference." "It's all so indefinite' and -and ro- mantic," Mary said, laying her right hand on ber left arm where the letter reposed. "You see 1 -haven't even seen "aim.

Mary received letters from this man and she had never even seen and Maly gladly explained. Once when Mary had gone away for the week -end, her neighbor had borrowed her Sunday pa- per which had beenleft out at her door.:: She found it the next day all nicely folded with a note addressed "Dear Neighbor," and signed "Neigh- bor." ' Then once when he' went away for the week -end she had taken' the milk that was left in front 'of bis door, and she had written to thank him for it, and now they wrote back and forth almost every day. She even made fudge and left it for him at his door, and he had left her some cakes and once some wild flowers.. "Well, that is romantic," said Paula. "So he sent' you some wild flowers and a few cakes, while Harry sends you American beauty roses and five - pound boxes of candy! Well, you cane! take your choice Personally 1 know what I'd do." "Harry never sent me roses but once, and the candy was for Christ- mas. Besides, I'm not so mercenary as you are, and what's more Dear Neighbor hasn't said he was in love with me. When he knows me it may. never occur to him to want to marry me. Only, of course, l can't encourage Harry when I'm writing every day to another man -not long letters or any- thing but enough to call a correspond- ence." Paula 'left soon after, assuring ?,Lary that she certainly was Kicky to have two men fighting for her hand. Before Mary had cleared away the yellow -glazed tea things that.

Everything was differ- ent now, however,, she reminded her- self, pressing the little note in her sleeve. Harry noticed the sigh and looked annoyed. He felt her preoccu- pation. She invited him to take one of the most comfortable chairs and then poured tea for him and pas:;ecl cakes ' but there was little joy in the ceremony.

PAGE VAN By Betty Webster HOUSEHOLD HINTS Don'ts For Washing Blankets New blankis are always a joy. There is nothing much softer, pret- tier or lovelier than new blankets, One always associates this loveliness with 'the newness and dreads the time the blankets have to be washed; And dry cleaning is never as satis- factory for blankets as washing. To be sure in most cases they feel and look very nice, but there is nothing like soap and water to clean any ar- ticle which comes as near to one as blankets. In order to preserve some of their freshness, here are a few "don't" for washing blankets; 1. Don't have suds too hot, 2. Don't put blankets through the wringer. 3. Don't hang blankets out in cold or wind. 4. Don't rub blankets as this re- moves some of the nap. 5. Don't hang knitted blankets up. Spread on bath towels to dry. -0- To Clean Enameled Bath Tubs Put kerosene on a cloth and rub on tub, This is the best way' to clean enameled tubs, ITowever, one can use ammonia.
