EDUCATION RADIO RECEPTION In Goderich the radio owners are up in arms because the reception is spoiled by Iocal interference. There seems to be e little of this trouble in Winglram which is a happy condi- tion.' But, the interference of power ful stations with Canadian stations is another matter. Canadian radia stations shou'ld be on a band that would give Canadians a chance to hear their own stations without this interference. We have. heard complaints of this kind over and over again, not only in this town but in others. It is up to the Radio Commission to get busy and procure a proper location on the dial for Can- adian stations. • •* The great event for this week is the Royal Wedding on Thursday when the youngest son of Ring Geo.

Clubs of North Huron are holding their annual meeting in the Council Chamber here on Saturday afternoon. This meeting is non-political and is for the purpose of studying farm problems. The farmers of N .Huron should attend this meeting in large numbers in order that all ideas to help the farming industry can be the better understood and discussed. * we The attacks and counter-attacks re- lating to the suspension of Mr. A. Sorsoleil, deputy minister of Welfare, make one feel that even our so-called great men too often speak with satire rather than temper their language with reason and logic. Mr. Sorsoleil is a highly respected man of this pro The young new President of Har- vard, Dr, J. B. Conant, said the other •day, that the whole college system of the United States needs reorganiza- tion, both in the way of making it /larder for those unfitted •for higher. +education to get in and easier for youths of real talent to obtain the best education available. One of the big draw -backs in our educational system in this country is that clever students often cannot pro- ceed with their education due to the lack of money. This country is made the poorer on this account as with groper development these students with proper training would be a valu- able asset but, due to circumstances they finally obtain ordinary occupa- tions. If a .country is to make the best use of the brains available this class of youth should be assisted to fur- ther their education. v; * * Y SEA SERPENTS The way these sea serpents keep -popping up all over the world means either that there are monsters in the sea, of which science knows nothing, or that the human racehas a great imagination. For years the "old salts" have told sea -serpent stories to the children, and incoming ships often reported having sighted one of these monsters. But scientific men ridiculed the no- vince and he, no doubt, spoke candid - tion and sailors got the habit of keep- ly on the morals of our school child. - fug their mouths shut about them i ren with all sincerity, but the heated for fear of; being laughed at. language of those taking part in the Reports from time to time state after -discussion does not tend to close that a couple of tlieni have been seen the breach but rather to widen the frequently in Vancouver Sound and chasm. now a 30 -foot monster has been wash- * * ; ed ashore there.

Chosen Liberal Candidate For North Grey At a largely attended convention of the Liberals and Progressives of North Grey, held Saturday afternoon, W. P. Telford, ex-M.P., was selected as the joint standard-bearer in the next Federal election, Mr, Telford was defeated in 1930 election by V. C. Porteous, Clover and Grass Seeds The Current report on production of clover and grass seeds in Canada. gives the following information: - Red Clover It is believed that the total 1934 crop in Canada may be around 1,500,000 lbs. as compared with $,000,000 lbs. last year. This drop was due to an almost total fail- ure in the principal production dis- tricts of Southwestern Ontario due to drought. Alsike - This seed in, Ontario was practically a failure this year. The total production may not have ex- ceeded 375,000 lbs. as against 1,500,- 000 lbs. in 1933 and an annual aver- age of 6,500,000 lbs. Alfalfa - Production will be less than last year due to wet weather and damaging frost in August, The total Canadian crop is estimated as 1,650,000 lbs. as against 2,500,000 in 1938. Sweet Clover - Total production of this seed in Canada may equal the average for the last five years, 4,000,- 000 lbs. Timothy - The total yield in 1934 may approximate 5,000,000 lbs. as against 4,000,000 lbs. last year and an News and (information For The Busy Farmer Manitoulin Island will contribute its share of turkeys again for the Christmas season. A survey indicates that the number of birds for market will be about the sane as last year when 50,000 pounds were marketed by the co-operative association. Reduction of one-half per cent. in interest on loans made by the On- tario Agricultural Board has been an- nounced by Premier Hepburn. The interest in future will be only four per cent. compared with the previous rate of four and a half. Timothy ].fust If the severity of rust attacks on timothy in the grass breeding nurs- ery, Central Experimental Farm, Ot- tawa, is any indication of the am- ount of damage which may result from this disease throughout the country, then the efforts which are being made to develop rust resistant varieties of timothy should result in considerable benefit to this crop. More than half of the plants from commercial seed at the Central Farm have been practically ,destroyed by rust during the past two years and many others have, been more or less injured. In marked contrast are the plants and strains selectedfor rust resistance. These show no rust what- soever, and in consequence they have made a strong vigorous growth. On- ly. rust resistant selections are being used as parent plants in breeding new varieties of timothy, At the same time an effort is being made to de- termine the losses due to rust an titn- otlry as it is grown itt farm practice.

So for petsons over thirty it is just as smart and busi- ness -like to plan to enjoy good health as it is to plan to enjoy a good income. And it's just as much a matter of plain common sense to cheek up on ,yourself. In health, your shortcomings are, at first, likely to be those annoying, not -exactly -well feelings. At such times, if your blood were tested, it would must ,likely be found "low to count". This means a shortage of rocl corpuscles and the corpimel s themselves short of haemoglobin. Make up this double shortage, and you'll 4 come up to normal health again. Neglect it and serious results q may follow. . Observing, in his practice, the importance of keeping the vitality of the blood up to normal, a Canadian authority originated a blood - building preparation which has been helping run-down people hack to ire:ltlt for nearly half a century. '1'h; s preparation, m known the world over as Dr. Williams' Pinlc Pills, definitely increases the blood "count" in the majority of eases, thereby restoring vitality, steadying nerves. imparting strength and toning lip the whole sys- ion.
