John Barnby, ,celebrated his iodth birthday at. his home on the east half of lot 2; concession 12, Ashfield township. Mr. Barnby, for all his great age' is still active and is still` able to be 'a- bout the house every day, although he spends a good deal of his time in his chair, Age has dealt kindly with him, however. His mind functions well, and his memory is, good. Years have dimmed his eyes and his hearing also is failing, although with the use of ear phones he can still listen -in on and enjoy the radio. He is very fond of music, and in his younger days he had a rich and powerful voice, and, even now, when he sings, as he often does, his voice holds much of its 're- sonance and beauty. He loves to sing the old hymns and psalms, which, for scores of years, he has been acous- tomed to sing and which he loves so well. He was born on March ii, 2822, at Beeford, Yorkshire, England., about s8 miles from the City of Hull, and was thus a young lad of 15 years when the. late Queen Victoria came to the throne of England'. He has lived in the reigns of five British sover- eigns. At the age of 22, in ,1344, he came to Canada on a sailing vessel with a brother three ,years his junior. .At that time there were only 18 miles of railway extending from Montreal, and the first steamship had arrived at the Port of Quebec a short time pre- vious to this. He remained at Mon- treal for a time, coining later to the. vicinity of Hamilton and Woodstock, where he was employed as 'a farm hand. It was while at Woodstock that he married Miss Elizabeth Johnston, who has been buried in the church- yard at Zion Church Eor over 4o years. It was about nine or ten years after his arrival in Canada, in 1854, that he came to the Township of Ashfield, and like many others, took up land cover - of the wilderness of forest a home for ed with great timber, and carved out himself and fancily, and became one of those hard-working,, sturdy, clean - living sons of toil who have been the backbone of Canada. He -settled • on the farm on the Beth concession of his home foe!, upwards of three-quar- Ashfield, which has continued to be ters of a century. His family consists ,mf.one daughter Mrs. !Meredith, of Edmonton, and two sons, William Barnby of Wheatlands, North Dakota, and James Barnby, with,whon he resides. He has been associated all his life with the Metho- dist Church, being one of the main- stays of Zion (now United) Church in the Ashfield' • circuit. Two years ago when this church celebrated its dia- mond. jubilee, his picture occupied a prominent place in the booklet gotten out by the church. Until he was 8o years of age he walked 1.0 this church adistance of four utiles, area home again. everySunday. ga t y. zee tteeplirg- lir oaasttavestewAaa made marked progress in 1927, there being an increase of 45 per cent the in colonies over those number of of 1'926 and an, increase of 191 per- cent in the 1927 honey crop over that of the previous, year. The num- ber of spring colonies in 1927 was 3,803 which increased to 5,962 by tl�ie fall count. The production of eomb honey for the year was 64,042 pounds and of extracted honey 436,- 982 pounds, making an average pro- duction per colony of 1481A pounds. n e Airplanes are now beig used .t o herd vast numbers of reindeer in the big Arctic stook farms, aceoed- ing to Ralph Lomen, pioneer of reindeer, industry of Alaska. kIt s a new idea and it's not being prac- ticed regularly, but herding by air- planes seem feasible," said Mr. Lomen. "Our head herdsman went out recently and in two hours ae- eomplished as much as 'would other- wise have- required a week with silt . Met.

Now the movements of herrings are very uncertain. Shoats appear off different coasts at different seasons and curing establishments are pro- vided at various ports, The curing sheds must be cleaned and lime -washed, the wooden sttchs, known as "tenters," on which the Ash are smokedhave to be scraped and renewed where necessary. Thti station manager looks to his stores of salt, oak -turnings, sawdust, trans- parent wrapping paper, wood, naffs, and wire for,eboxes, Ever since the herrings began to appear he ha' sent a' daily wire to London reorting on the catch. This is calculated by grans, a crap being ix measure ; containing from 8010 to 1,200 herrings, according to ssz'. Imagine that the staff have arriv- ed and we are visiting the port whore curing is in full swing. Women and girl workers, protected from the. wet PS, b, rubber boots and waterproof aprons, stand at long benches piled with fish; and in three neat move- ments ut their shurt-bladed kzirrei split the herrings. Skill in this operation is of the first importance, because badly cu fish lose value. The split "fish art, dropped into wicker baskets and car- ried to the washing tank. ,When cleaned they are soaked in brine for ten to thirty minute,, ac- cording to size.. Care is requi'.'d to ensure that the split fish are openfdt out so that every part conies in..e(.n tact with' the pickle, which must ee kept up to strength. After pickling, the fish are flung oft tenter -hooks, fixed on wooden bare' about one and a half inches thick of. the same length as the width of the kiln house. Each hook carries twelve fish, and they are placed across the smoke-housd itt rows. Heat as well as smoke is ntam- eary. and oak chips and oak sawdust are best. A fire of these materiels is lit on the hard floor of the lair, When it t begins to die down It usually replenished with savrduat only, which results in a volume a„ smoke being' given off. By the time the fire has spent lir• self again some of the lower rows el fish are ready for cooling off, and after the fire has been made up for the third time the .whole batch is ready for cooling. • A smoker not only stokes the fres, but operates the vent holes, draught doors, louvres, and chimney shafts. " . As the kippers should allbe of a uniform shade the bars on. which they hang must be moved from tier to tier .and the heat and smoke directed to any particular part need- ing attention. Before the kippers are taken off the hooks they are examined by an expert, who rejects any that are not up to standard. The finest dish are wrapped in transparent paper. Imitation kippers are produced by means " of dipping herrings in a harmless dye which gives approxi - Mately 'the same color as the gen- uine article, writes Capt. Drieford in Progress. Far less skill and labor is expended in this process. Canada Reserves Right. • Canada has served notice, says the Financial Post, on the world that it reserves the right to do as it likes in prohibiting the export . of raw materials, At Geneva, a conference was held to try to bring to an end import and export prohibitions and restrictions throughout the world. At the confer- ence Dr. W. A. Riddell, Canada, said no country had been ".so prodigal in the export of its raw materials as Canada, nor had opened itsdoors wider to exports from other coun- tries. The' Canadian tariff had been reduced four times in the past six years. One result had been a growth In trade unsurpassed, in any other country. Another result had been the growth of a feeling' that, if the present rate' of export ,continued, there was danger'of the depletion of the country's natural resources. In ;practice Canada had followed the pol- icy of the open door, but in theory was being driven to the policy of reservations. Dr. Riddell warned the eonference to avoid extremes. He was wise. Canada is not ready to give . up its right to protect its future by restrict - Eng, where wise, the export of pre- cious raw materials, J "the Curfew Tolls." Scattered about Great Britain are a few places where still "the curfew tolls the knell of parting day." : St. Nicholas, Bristol, maintains .the .ct1s- tom.

It Is One .ot the Most Important Porte In the Medliiterruuean Sea. Malta is the well-known island in about the' centre of the Mediterran- ean Sea, and known during the cen- turies of the existence of the Roman Empire as Melita. It was the scene, of the shipwreck ttf St. Paul while on his voyage as a prisoner from Caesarea,the portof Judea,to R ome'the seat f the imperialgovernment, The island is 17 miles in length and has an area of 91 r/s square miles, which is about equal to the area of Albion Township in Peel County, On- tario, It has a population of about 25 1a 000. Malta, or ancient Melita, was held inturn by Phoenicians, Greeks, Car thaginiane and by the Arabs in 870. From 1000 it wap joined in govern- ment to Sicily until 1630, when it was handed over to the K nights of St. John, who ruled until dispersed by l+aapoleon in 1798. From 1798 to 1800 it was blockaded by the Brit- ish fleet, and was finally annexed to the British Crown b*' the Treaty of Paris of 1814. Malta is one of the most important porta of call in the world, and it is the base and resort for repairs and refitment of the British fieet in the Mediterranean. its chief harbor, which is a naval station, is strongly fortified. The capital is Valletta. Under the constitution of 1921, Matta has an elected Legislature to control purely local affairs, consist- ing of a' Senate of 17 members, some of whom are appointed and some elected and a House of Assembly of E2 elected members. There is a re- sponsible ministry of seven members who preside over the public depart- ments. The bead of the Government' is styled Governor and Commander - In -Chief. English is the official language of the oolony. The lialtett language ie allowed in the elementary, schools, and Italian is the official language of re orb in the Law Courts. There is a public school system and the pupils number about 20,000, besides secondary schools and a uni- versity with 180 students. The chief products of Malta are 'wheat and other grains of temperate countries, vegetables, grapes and other fruits, and cotton. The manus factures inelude lace, cotton textiles, filigree and cigarettes. Agriculture is the chief industry, ,and the island is well supplied with horses, . mules and asses, horned cattle, sheep and goats. The annual value ofthe ex- ports from Malta is about 87,000,000. JEWItIES IN ENGLAND.. Four Jewish Quarters Indicated by Surviving Street Names. Many towns had anciently their Jewish quarters, in which the Jews were compelled to dwell, and these localities are frequently indicated by surviving street names. The Old Jewry and the New Jewry in London are instances. The Jews were prob- ably first admitted into the kingdom at the Conquest, and those of. Lon- don settled in what is now the Old Jewry. Edward the First expelled all the Jews, but they were re- admitted by Cromwell, and many of them, taking up their residence in ea London, occupied the New Jewry. There were Jewries in many other towns, such as Lincoln, Leicester, and Norwich. At Leicester the frag- ment of wall which has survived from Roman times is known as the Jewry Wall, because in the Middle Ages the Jews dwelt near it. The Jews are not the only for- eigners who have left evidence of their presence in the street names of our towns. The Flemings appear to have given their name to Flemin- irate, in Beverley. In Southampton there were an- ciently, and may be still, a French B. street and an English street, names of great significance when we res member that this port was long the El principal link between the England - on this side of the Channel and an- other England on the other. These names call to mind the dis- tinction of nationality seemingly im- plied by the names of the English and the Welsh bridges at Shrews- bury. But these names are compar- atively modern. The fernier bridge was built in . 1774 and replaced an old fortified bridge, known as the East Bridge:. The Welsh Bridge was built about twenty years later to take the place of a picturesque but inconvenient structure of seven arches, bearing the name of St: George's Bridge. 115111 nomi ■ ni ■ ■ ■ ■ no in■ ■ ■ ■ Spring urtain Goods and Draperies SiA. �i.0, �r# may, > e ■' I■ PWe are•showilxig Splendid Values in Cretones, Dra- j ■ pery Fabrics, Curtains and Curtains Materials. ° ■ ■ 40 Inch Cream and Ivory, Nets, fine English quality, Lace • edging, splendid patterns _ _._.__________ .. ...,,.goc • ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ g ■ •• Cream and Ecru Panels with fringed bottoms in neat pat- terns suitable for Bedrooms Living rooms, and priced ■ at :_ ...._... $z.75 to -3.25 ■ A large range to select from in Cretonnes and Sateens for ■ Slip Covers, Drapes, Upholstery and Comforters, ■ Priced from ._ ...,._.._.. w 25c to goc ydw ■ ■ ■ ■ Liii//i i,ii■iuiuiivaiiu■■■iaaiiiiiii.I ENGLISH NETS in a beautiful fine quality in open work patterns, Lace edging, 46 inches wide $ ,25 SILK NETS with'Lace and' Taped borders in Cream, Cham- pagne and Ecrue shades, Iovely patterns, 44 in.__ $z:2S & $I,75, 36 Inch Cream Marquisettes, lace edging and Insertions, a . splendid wearing material, Special price yd. ■, if Silk Net Rayon Curtains 'in beautiful patterns, insertion ■: fringe tat bottom, suitable for single panels or in sets ■I 2,1 yards long, Special ._., _ M___,. -._ ,_......;.,,. -5.5o ,pair 1■ MI ■ ■ ■ ■' ■ J.

Canadians would be considerably surprised if they were given full de- tails of the British investment going into Canadian channels at the prele- ,eat time, according to 10. IL Peacock, , director of the Bank of England and of the Canadian Pacific' Railway: The Britisher does not seek publicity tri his business deals, he stated, with the result that large sums of money were often laced in the Dominionp and never heard of, , A case in point he mentioned was the investment of himself and five other capitalists of £20.0,000 in timber interests in.Brit- ish Columbia five years ago, and, up -.I on the suttees of this venture the further investment of £300;000.
