keeping the men free from staleness,
Each morning I see that every man
under me takes a small amount of

all types of atliletes, and also exten-

Salts helps to keep the internal or-

eliminate waste products and poisons
that endanger the health.

Telling It Simply
•
They tell a story around the news-
paper offices of a young and enthus-
iastic reporter who once dashed back
to the city room after covering a spec-
tacular fire, writes the Galt Reporter,
He crouched over his typewriter,
tense, prepared to turn himself loose'
with everything Ito had, almost over-
come by the excitement which he was
about to transmit to his expectant
reader's.
Feverishly he rapped out a couple
of words on the typewriter. He scowl-
ed at them, shook his head, and he
crossed them out. He tapped out two
or three words on a fresh start, and
scowled again, and made a third start.
He was fairly quivering with the ex-
citement of this grand and dazzling
story he had to write, and he was On
the point of exploding because he just
could not seem to turn it into a nar-
rative worthy of the occasion.
There sat watching hint a pot-bel-
lied old-timer, Who had been writing
big stories aver since the battleship
Maine blew up in Havana harbor, and
this old-timer presently came over to
the eager cub and touched him on the
shoulder.
"Just put down one little word af-
ter another," he advised.
This anecdote is calledto mind,
somehow, by memories of the recent
broadcast of the British coronation.
The British radio announcers who.
handled that most spectacular of all
radio stories were men who had also
learned the lesson of that newspaper
old -tinier.
They knew how to tell a big story
in the simple, direct way of putting
down one little word : after another,
they knew, in other' words, that if the
narrator will just ,get out of the way
a big story will tell itself.
And that unfortunately, is a lesson
that announcers on thisside of the
Atlantic seem utterly unable to learn.
Shove the average North American
announcer into a big spectacle, whe-
ther it be a in esid'en'tial inauguration,
a baseball game or an air meet; and
he imediately gives •a lifesized imita-
tion of a man who has swallowed a
bumble bee.

Your Garden
By .GORDON L. SMITH
Artie,ie No. 14
The more tender sorts of vegetables
are beans, tomato plants, squash, cu-
cumbers and melons.' They will not
start to grow until the weather and
soil really become warm, All garden
tomatoes should be staked, using
either wooden or steel stakes about
six feet high. Trim off all side shoots
as they develop, training the main
stem up along the stake and tieing
loosely about ' every foot.
Like Rich Soil.
All these warm weather vegetables
prefer rich, open soil and any mem-
bers of the melon family; that is,
squash, cucumber, citron, etc., take
special delight in hot, sandy soil,
though it must be made rich with.
well -rotted manure or good garden
fertilizer.
Conserve Moisture
Dry weather will seldom affect a
constantly cultivated garden. Stirring
of the top soil prevents evaporation
of moisture and it also keeps down
those robbers of plant food and .water -
weeds. Especially during the early
part of the season is cultivation neces-
sary and more particularly after each.

Late Planted Flowers
Even In the more northerly sections
of Canada it will soon be time to
Plant those rather tender flowers such
as dahlias, gladioli and Gammas. None
of these, .with the possible exception
of gladioli, will stand any frost, but
because all are bulbs or corms and
are planted several inches deep, a
light frost after they are set out but
before the shoots appear, will not do
any damage. Rules are simple; fairly
rich, but loose garden soil is preferred
by all three, though good results from
dahlias can be obtainecl in almost any
kind of soil. The bulbs or corms
should be planted from about four to
six inches deep for gladioli to twice
this much for the 'larger dahlias and
oaunas. All prefer an open position,
though with these as well as all flow-
ers of vivid coloring, a position which
is slightly shaded around noon is pre-
ferrable to protect the blooms from
being bleached out by the hot sun.
These flowers will benefit from a
thorough soaking during the hot, dry
weather.

Women Set the Pace
k Handling Money
Girls Should Be Encouraged To
Consider Themselves Important
INDIANAPOLIS, — Miss Marie A.
Gezon of Grand Rapids, Mich., advis-
ed men to insist on better training
for women in handling money because
she said, they set "the pace for ex-
travagance or frugality."
Miss Gezon, director of the Grand
Rapids Welfare Guidance Bureau also
told the national confereuce on social
work that communities should be-
come more "girl OOnsci005" to remove
the inferiority -complex which she
said many women ]laev.
"The reason so many girls say, 'I.
wish I were a boy is because they've
seen so much preference shown boys
in the home and in the community
that they feel themselves of little im-
portance in the scheme of life," she
said.
"A gill's importance as a financier
has not been properly reckoned with,"
she added. "She sets the pace for ex-
travagances or frugality. She influ-
ences supply and demand in the store
and factory,"

Nature's Tree
Method Is Best
In Ontario Tree Planting By Man
Has Not Been. Wholly A
Success
Over in Sweden where scientific
forestry has been followed for two
generations "the ideal" method of re-
forestation is by Nature's method,
without more than a pat on the head
from man.
Under. Canadian conditions re-
seeding by Nature is the only prac-
tical method. Our efforts at artifi-
cial forest regeneration have been of
doubtful value.
Wilson Woodside, writing in a To-
ronto'paper says:
"Forestry has been developed to a
science in Sweden. The nation's for-
ests are pleasured, and estimated to
contain 1,420 million cubic Dieters of
wc;od. The annual growth is calcu-
lated at forty-seven million cubic
meters of wood. The annual growth
is calculated at forty-seven million
cubic Dieters; the "crop" taken out
is between thirty and forty millions.
Her forest land is Sweden's greatest
single natural resource, and she in-
tends that it be permanently main-
tained. For thirty years it has been
unlawful, not merely to slash forests
but even to thin them out unduly.
Immature trees May not be cut at
all. and the replacement of all ma-
ture timber cut must be provided
for either by natural regeneration
(the ideal held out), or by planting
seedlings.
'To this end, the State provides
annually from its nurseries forty to
forty-five million seedling trees and
many tons of pine and spruce seed.
Its foresters dig four to five thousand
miles of forest ditches, clean out
hundreds of miles of brook, and visit
annually all of Sweden's 20,000 log-
ging sites. This work of supervision
and education is carried on by the
Forest Commission Board, and by its
branches in every country. It is
supported by a tax of 1.3 per cent.
on the stumpage value of all timber
cut. Forest operators, large and
small, have come to co-operate so
well that the commission's annual
list of specific prohibitions of activ-
•
ity now numbers only about 100,
and its court actions less than half
4' dozen.,,
In the above • are several signifi-
cant hints Ontario might well take
note of:
(1- Sweden doesn't permit a for-
est to be thinned out unduly. Doubt-
less some trees are left to reseed the
ground.
t 2) Immature trees are not allow-
ed to be out at all,
(3) "Natural regeneration" ini-
p?Yes certain work in helping Nature.
(4) Sweden digs forest ditches to
drain wet forest land and cleans out
brooks for the same purpose.
(5) There is an annual inspection
of camps, to see that the law is ob-
served.
It would appear that this paper
has been unconsciously advocating
Swedish methods for some time,

Th Speckled Hen
Driving along the road just a mile
or so north of Omemee we saw a dead
hon lying beside the road, writes the
Peterborough Examiner. It was speck-
led hen too, and it had apparent:;•
not crossed the road fast enough co
suit the traffic of this rapid day. A
lien often gets confused and it does
not seem to know right straight off
whether to stay on the side of the
road or try and get back to the side
where she lives. When she sees a ear
coming along that instinct to get
back home seems to become opela.-
tive at once. A hen 'may not know
a great deal but when she gets scar-
ed she well run for home and never
away from it. There have been a good
many hens killed along a good many
roads and highways in the same way,
and we have always felt the number
has been too great. A car driver
knows a hen is likely to run across
the road and it would not call far
much exertion to try and avoid the
thing.
Looking back quite a few years, we
cannot recall seeing a speckled hen or
any other kind of hen lying dead be-
side the road in front of Lot 4, con-
cession Ten, and there were days
when the speckled hens used to go
out there. The speckled hens used to
cover quite a lot of territory. Days
When the plowir' was going on the
hens often move.' aver to follow the
plow, and they were probably feeding
themselves and doing a good turn for
growth in general when they filled
up on the white bugs.
• Other days they might take a no-
tion to follow the lane toward the
road. The pup could always get
through the gate, so could the hens.
rust where the lane turned toward
the -road over an old culvert the road-,
way was rather sandy and it was a
fine place for the speckled hen to
dust herself. In the cool of the even-
ing it was also a pleasant place for
a lad to walk with bare feet for the
dust as it came up between the toes
seemed pleasant indeed. The heat of
the day had gone from it.
But we are quite certain the speck-
led hens do not dust themselves today
on the Tenth Concession because it
is now part of the Highway system
:and there is probably a newer and
r -iter gate at the end of the lane
through which they could no longer
pass. So the hen has to move in a nar-
rower circle today if she wishes to
keep on living her full span of years.
Quite often we have seen the remains
of the hen which tried to hurry to
her own home -side of the road when
a car came along. We believe the
speckled hen of the Tenth Concession
must have had a happier sort of life
than the on living beside a highway
today. She could wander here and
there and do her dusting out on the
road and be certain enough of turn-
ing up in time for bed all in one
piece.

Ontario PT vi -nee
As a ►utfl ess
The Government of Ontario has
bought space in The Journal and
many other newspapers through
which today it conveys to the people
.of the province a detailed statement
of the financial position of Ontario
at the end of the fiscal year notes
the Ottawa Journal.
It is a departure in government
practice, and an. excellent one. The
taxpayers of this province are share-
holders in the business of Ontario,
and Mr. Hepburn and his associates
are in the pbsition of a board of di-
rectors. That board now reports
to the shareholders through the media
um used by private corporations—ad-
vertising space in the newspapers.
Tho report, furthermore, is in a
form every citizen must see and can
understand. is publication will add to
his understanding of public affairs,
and it is highly desirable that every
shareholder in this business which
took in more than eighty million dol-
lars last year should have at least a
superficial knowledge of the manner
in which that money was raised, and
the purposes for which it was spent.
We are not thinking particularly of
the- revenue involved when we say it
would be a good thing for govern-
ments
overnments generally to follow the prece-
dent that is set in the present in-
stance. Public money judiciously
spent for public information is well
spent.
Whit - Grub Pest
Have you ever noticed when visit=
ing the country during seeding time
that farmers allow their poultry to
run loose in the fields? A city mar}
accustomed to think of hens as kept
in wire -encircled yards, might think
there is a bit of carelessness there,
but the very reverse is the case. a
fact the farmer is glad to see the
hens out there scratching for a living,
Busy "biddy" is doing a met useful
work, comparable with the value of
the eggs site lays.
Watch the hen pecking away Indus-
triously behind the plowman as he
turns the sweet-smelling sod. They
are feeding on the enemy grubs that
have been developing in the pipelines
in which the mother beetles laid their
eggs, and which the plowshare has
uncovered. Occasionally the birds
take a hand in helping the farmer in
thus riding the soil of the pests.
The white grub is one of the worst
of these. Ordinarily it lives on grass
roots, but it likes potatoes, the roots
cf corn, wheat, oats, asters, gerani•
t?ms, strawberries and roses. Entomo-
logists of the Dominion department
of agriculture made an exat.tination
of many farms in eastern Ontario
two or three years ago aucl found an
average loss of $133 per farm.
The May beetles which lay the eggs
that became the white grub are hurls'
brown insects that fly about at night,
bang against window panes because
they are atracted by the light, and
otherwise prove a nuisance if there
are holes in the screen door. In 1934
a major flight of them caused much
destruction by defoliating trees and
shrubs in over 4,000 square miles
of Southern Quebec.
Hence fowl and the birds of l'l:' air
befriend cot only the farmer by de,
veining* the white grub in qunn;ity.
