The 1'gnite fields, recently discover- ed in Northern Ontario, will prove a valuable deposit of fuel for the pro- vince, he said, citing the case of Ger- many, which uses vast quantities of this mineral for fuel both in the pro- duction of electric power and for do- mestic purposes. The future of 0_itario mining "was bright. "The Government sees in the mineral possibilities of this province a wonderful source of wealth for the pople of Ontario," he said, advising the public not to be discouraged by past lack of success in mining invest- ments.

K. Atkinson, educational di- rector of the Boys Club Federation of America. Atkinson is one of several hundred "boy experts"'attending the Interna- tional Boys' Work Council conference here. He has studied Goys for twenty- five years. The averageboy of to -day reads more "trash" because there is more trash published, but prefers articles on mechanical coutrivances and in- vention to "Wild West' hair -raisers, he believes. Some of his other' beliefs are that: The modern boy's hero is Lindbergh because Lindbergh embodies the same adventurous traits as , diel Theodore Roosevelt, the hero in 1910. He wants a "white-collar" job, thinks a college education is a right rather than a privilege. and doesn't care much about being a policeman or a fernier. He shows more sincere respect for his parents, partly because they don't force him to. His parents are less dominating. He dresses better—has two suits to one in 1910. He,shines his shoes more often and keeps his hair brushed. He isn't so inclined to run away from home, because' he has more 'in- terests, and his parents give him more freedom. He breaks more laws, if he lives in a city, because there is less room for' play and there must be an outlet for his desire for adventure. He swears as much, but only to re- lieve tension, and probably uses more slang; in fact, must use it to be under- stood by his comrades. He has fewer chores to do. He is more mature, intellectually but lias fewer responsibilities. Ile is more sophisticated. ., was held recently.

Beans, Sown to Fill Gap Win 1st Prize at Chicago Belleville.—Because there were not enough tomato plants to fill her plot on a 55 -acre truck farm in P. E. County near Port Milford, Mrs. Mary E.

"Welll I never thought I would win, but I am glad," exilaimed the breath- less Mrs. Mayeock when congratula- tions were showered upon her.

In Addition Delegation Will Study Canadian Agricul- tural Methods Winnipeg—A party of 100 Austra- lian farmers, who will tour ,Canada in 1932, intend to make the world's grain exhibition and conference to be held at Regina, Sask., during that year the main attraction of their visit. Announcement Is made by officials of the exhibition that a tour of 100 farmers from "down under" Is now be- ing arranged by the Farmers' and Set- tlers' Association . of New South Wales. under whose auspices the party will attend the grain show. The farmers' and Settlers' Associa- tion of New South Wales is the chief producers' body in the commonwealth, and the party of farmers will behead- ed by H. J. Stevens, editor of "Tile Land," official publication of the or- ganization. It is planned to have the party visit Regina during the period of the exhibi- tion and also to take advantage of the opportunity to become acquainted with Canadian agricultural methods. These Australian farmers are desir- ous of gaining an insight into the work being done by departments of agriculture, provincial and Dominion, and of studying the methods and acti- vities of Canadian experimental farm systems. For these reasons arrange- ments will be made by which the party will visit as many as possible of the twenty-six experimental farms in Canada and the 160 illustration sta- tions operated by the federal agrietii- •tural department, • as well as many of the experimental stations and agricul- tural colleges under the control of the various provincial departments Eskimo Ales Air Chauffeurs Nov Called For in England London: A new occupation, that of aerial chauffeur, is springing up as a result of people of means buying pri- vate aerplanes. There are two classes of private owners—those who fly themselves and those who have a pilot - chauffeur to fly for them. Even some of the former like to have a pilot- • chauffeur to look after the machine and fly it to • any particular place to pick them up. The first man to own an airplane Which he did not fly himself is be- lieved to have been the late Captain Lowenstein, who used a luxurious Handley -Page -Napier for traveling throughout Europe with his staff. He was but the forerunner of many, and there are now nearly fifty private own as in Britain who employ air,chauf- feurs. Advertisements are conetantly, appearing in the papers for pilot - chauffeurs, who are drawn largely froin the nen-commissioned pilots of the poral Air Force as they leave the service. •Sihe: Tommy, what are you going to give me for Christmas? • He: I'm going to give you the air lentil after Christmas.'

More Modern Buildings Proposed for Farms, Chicago.—Architects have concee- trated on designing for the city home builder, but the farmhouse has been forgotten and "bossy" has been stabl- ed in the same kind of stall for cert. : turies. That, said Helly Giese, of the Iowa State College, before the American So- ciety of Agricultural Engineers, is nob as it should be. Little was done to improve farm structure, he said, because the archi- tectural profession was not particular-, ly interested and the farmers lacked' the ability to conduct their own. re- search and improve the type of farm buildings. He recommended that state .experi mental stations and the United States• Agricultural' Department undertake al rlrogram of improving farm struc- tyres.
