Again Trevors .1aughed, drawing back his empty. . hand. "You yellow dog!" grunted Bud • Lee, his tone one of supreme disgust. "You d—d yellow dog!" Trevors shrugged. "You see, gentlemen—two to one, with the odds all theirs." • "You lie!" spat out Carson. • "It's ‘,4one to one an' I'll see the game goes square." He stepped forward, re- • moved the weapon from the table .un- der Trevors' now suddenly changeful eyes, and went back to his place .with This back to the wall. • "For God's sake!" cried the one nervous man in the room, he who had ,opened the door. 'This is murder!" • Melvin smiled, a smile as cheerless s the gleam of wintry starlight on a 'bit of glass. "Will you fight him, Trevors?" he asked. "With your hands?" "Yes," answered Trevors. "Yes." "Move back the table," command- ed Melvin, on his feet in an instant. -"And the chairs. Get them back." The table was dragged to the far end of the room; the chairs were pil- ed upon it. "Now," and Melvin's watch was in • his hand, his voice coming with me- ••tallic coldness, "it's to a finish, it is? Three-minute rounds, fair fighting, But now at last Bayne Trevors' blood was up, his slow anger had kindled, he was moving his feet rest- lessly. "D—n it," he shouted, "whose fight is this but mine and Lee's? If he. If_ wants • fight, let him come and get air it; a man's fight and rules and rounds and time be d—d! Am 1 to dance .around her and sidestep and fence • _just for you to look on? . .. . ... 'Caron!" "Well?" said Carson, • "Lee challenges me doesn't he?'. Then I'm the man to name the sort *of fight, am I not? Is that fair?" "Meaning just what?" asked Car- son. "Meaning that I am going to get him, get him any way I can! You llet us fight this out our way, any 'way, and no interference!" "Talk to Bud there," rejoined the old cattleman calmly. "It ain't my scrap." "Then, Lee," • snapped Trevors, 'come on if you want such a fight as you'd get if you and I were alone in -the mountains, with no man to • watch, a fight where a man can use what weapons God gave him, any weapon .he can lay his mind to, his eye to, this hand to! • Or," and at last the "or, ,p0 You Want Padded Gloves and Someone to Fan You." sneer cattle, "do you want a pair of padded gloves and somebody to fan you?" Carson shifted his glance to Bud Lee's face, 1...ce, merely nodded. "Then," cried Carson sternly, "go to it! No man steps in, an' you two can fight it out like coyotes or maim- tain-hons for all of me." "Your word there will be no inter- ference?" asked Trevors. "Foy you're just a fool and not a liar, Carson.' • "My word," was the answer. Bayne Trevors, slipped out of his coat and vest, tossing them to the pile of chairs on fhe table. He loos- ened his soft • shirt -collar and was ready. All of Bud Lee's simple pre- parations had been made when he threw his broad hat aside. Then came the little pause which is forerunner to the first blow, when two men measure each other, seeking each to read the other's purpose, "It ought to be a pretty even break," muttered Melvin, his interest obviously that of a sporting man who would travel a thousand miles to see a fight for nchampion's belt. "Trev- ors has the weight by forty pounds; Lee has the reach by a hair; both are quick -footed; both hard; Lee, maybe a little harder. Don't know. Even break. The sand will do it—sand or luck." The two men drew slowly together. Their hands came up, their fists showed glistening knuckles, their jaws were set, their feet moved cau- tiously. Then suddenly Bud Lee sprang in and struck, Struck tentatively with his left hand that grazed T-revors' cheek and did no harm; struck terribly with his right hand that drove through the other man's guard and landed with the little sound of flesh on flesh on Trevors' chest. Trevors' grunt and his return blow came together; both men reeled back a half -pace from the impact, both hung an instant.upon an unsteady balance, both sprang for- ward. And as they'met the second time, they battled furiously, clinging together, striking mercilessly, giving and taking with only the sound of scuffling boot -heels and. soft thuds and little coughing grunts breaking the silence. Bayne Trevors gave back a stubborn step, striking right and left as he did so; caught himself hurled himself forward so that now it was Bud Lee who was borne back- ward by the sheer weight of his op- ponent. There was a gash on Lee's temple from which a thin stream of blood trickled; 'Trevors' mouth was bleeding. "Under his guard, Trevors!" shout- ed Melvin, on the table now, his face red, his eyes shining. "Under, un- der!" "Remember, Bud! Remember!" cried Carson. • "That's it, that's it!" Melvin clap- ped his two big hands and came per- ilously near falling from his point of vantage as Trevor's' fists drove into Lee's body and Lee went reeling back. "Give him h-1! A hundred dollars on Trevors!" "Take you!" called Carson without withdrawing his eyes from the two forms reeling up and down, back and forth across the room, "Done!" cried Melvin. "Trevors, a hundred dollars--" He broke off, forgetful of his own (Continued next week) News and Information For the Busy Farmer (Furnished:by the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture.)

KNOW WHAT YOU SOW—"For whatsoever a man soweth that shall lie also reap," Sow only large, plump, bright seed, Poor seed is dear at any price, In view of the Somerset report, advocating widet use of pre -cooling facilities and central packing of the fruit, it is interesting to note that Mr. George Wilson, secretary of the Nor- folk Fruit Growers, places the value of their new cold storage plant in marketing the 1930 crop at $35,750. Valuable Snowfall The receht heavy snowfall, whieli was general throtighotit Ontario, ser- ved the dual purpose of replenishing the water supply in plaees where the shortage had been keenly felt during the.past few months and of providing a valuable covering for fall wheat and other early crops. It Is not often the farming districts receive such a bless- ing in mid-March, and this may prove a happy augury for a propserous sea- son, • SEED CORN Safficient Horne Grown Seed Avail- able, A.s a result of the very favorable weather and the improved situation in regard to the corn borer in 1930, Southwestern Ontario is offering this spring large quantities of seed corn of ,exCellent quality. Official tests have already revealed particularly high germinating power, some sam- ples running as high as 98 to 100 per cent. Regulations controlling the ship- ment of seed corn have been modi- ifed and this spring any growers or dealers in old Ontario and Quebec may purchase theirrequirements and have same delivered on the cob as was the custom previous to the corn borer trouble. Seed corn grown and matured in Ontario is better adapted to Ontario conditons when used either for grain or ensilage purposes than is the seed corn imported from sections where the growing season is longer and where larger types of corn prevail.

CrTJELF4, ONTARIO OLD DOCTOR'S IDEA e IS BIG HELP TO ' • ELDERLY PEOPLE 1,01q - .11/1414,1 a„rie tt In t885, Dr. Caldwell made a dis- zovery for which elderly people the world over praise hini today! Years of practice convinced him that many people were endangering heir health by .a careless choice ef !axatives. So he began a search for a harmless prescription which would be thoroughly effective, yet would neither gripe nor form any habit. At last he found it. Over and over he wrote it, when he found people bilious, headachy, out of sorts, weak or feverish; whh coated tongtte, bad breath, no appeti-s or energy. It relieved the most obstinate cases, and yet was gold with wotnctro thildren and elder. people, Today, this same famous, effective prescription, known. as Dr. Caldwell's • Syrup Pepsin, is the world's most a,opular laxative.

The third annual issue has just been distributed free of charge to 5,000 far- mers in the county. It is an eight - page publication and contains a wealth of information relating to the farming industry. Almost every phase of agriculture as carried on in this county is discussed, such as poul- try -breeding, reforestation,. tobacco - raising, fertilizers, fruit and veget- able -growing. It also carries several informative articles by 0. A. C. au- thorities, Numerous pictures of local interest are used to brighten the pages. The local agricultural repre- sentative, F. C. Paterson, who is also secretary of the Chamber of Com- merce, has been largely responsible for the success of this valuable pub- lication. Uurges Distinctive Mark "Ontario growers, co-operating with the Ontario Government in packing apples for export, have made a wonderful irnpnession upon the ex- port market this season." writes An- drew Fulton, special overseas fruit representative. He continues: "The adoption of a uniform standard of color and quality which has been maintained throughout the season has been recognized by the buyers. I would urge, however, that growers, before another season arrives, care- fully consider the advisability of elim- inating the multiplicity of brands that now exist and to adopt one out- standing mark by which Ontario ap- ples may be recognized." Weekly Crop Report Naturally at this time of the year the reports of the agricultural repre- sentatives throughout Ontario would deal Fltiefly with seeds and seed problems. The most recent one states that seed cleaning activity is quite pronounced, particularly in Lanark, where one large plant has been running to capacity for some time. In Leeds many enquiries are being received for seed grain. Win- ter conditions as reported from Mus- lcolca and Parry Sound, have been al- most ideal for new seeding. Hay is becoming scarce with the baled var- iety selling for $18 per ton. Ontario reports a heavy demand for both seed and sieve material for fanning mills. Large numbers of Peel Coun- ty farmers have been turning out for barn meetings at which agricultural problems are co-operatively discuss- ed. In Perth, seed grain is not mov- ing as briskly as in other counties. Live stock in Peterboro is in good condition generally, with feed quite cheap. The same applies to Prince Edward. Orchards and fruit bushes in South Simcoe have wintered well because of the mild winter and good 'prices are being obtained at sales. In Welland orchards are receiving a general clean-up and are in good con- dition. More alfalfa seed than ever before is reported by Wellington. Should Check Fertilizer This is the season for buying fer- tilizers and it is important that far- mers should kaow how to protect themselves in making sure that they are delivered the kind and analysis of fertilizer which • they purchase. The Federal fertilizers act requires that. every 'fertilizer delivered to a farmer must be labelled with the guaranteed analysis in terms of ni- trogen, phosphoric acid and potash. Therefore the farmer should check the guaranteed analysis of the fertil- izer when it arrives. If short one per cent. nitrogen, it is worth about $2.50 a ton less than the purchase price and phosphoric acid and potash are worth about $1. for each per cent. - Purchasers are advised to refuse ac- ceptance of fertilizer which is not la- belled precisely the same guaranteed analysis as that purchased. Should any farmer have reason to doubt the value of a fertilizer delivered to him, he is advised to communicate with the nearest fertilizer inspector or the district representative of agricultare. Sow Clean Seed A. recent survey shows that weeds were responsible for a total loss of between 150 and 200 million dollars in Canada last year. The direct loss in crop actually displaced or killed out by weeds was over one hundred millions, while the remainder was made up of freight charges for carry- ing weed steeds along with grain, clo- Delicious, economical food with real nourishment is what your family needs. and you can get all of this when you serve Crown Brand Corn Syrup and Benson's Golden Syrup Physicians recommend them because of their great energy producing value and because they are easily digested.
