Endure nee Mrs, W, Bentley, of Great Lever, Bolton, gave birth to a second twin boy 72 hours after the birth of the Farmers etter Off h Id Age Hon. J. G. Gardiner Urges; Mak- ing Farming Attractive GUELPH,—"Show 'the possibilities of life on the farm to the young peo- ple and keep them at farming, was the plea made by IIon. James G. Gar- diner, federal minister of agriculture to a gathering of some fifty Ontario government agricultural representa- tives in convention here, "If you can do this,"• he said, "you are doing more to do away with unemployment and help the future of the country than anything else." Mr. Gardiner accompanied by J. B. Fairbairn, deputy minister of agricul- ture and Dr. G. I. Christie, president of the Q.A.G., gave the representatives an account of his life on the farm in.* Huron County some 36 years ago. Far- mers, he said, were not overly con - corned with dollars and cents, but they should keep others from deriv • ing the greatest profits from their la- bors. Most of the money running the rail- ways, banks and educational institu- tions came from the top six incites of the soil, Mr. Gardiner said. Until the farmers can live the same as they do in the cities, it would be hard to keep the young people on the land. The farmer wants to live well, so that at 65 he can take things easy. There were ni.ore farmers at this age living comfortably than there were in the cities. This was a fact that should be pointed out to all farm boys. There were few farmers at 60 years who told you they had spent their all, but many old men of the cities confessed they had spent their all as they went along. He Lost His Kilt Like all English crowds, London's Coronation crowd maintained its , reputation as the most good-humored in the world. It laughed at every- thing, even when messages came through the police loud -speakers ask- ing for lost children to go to the nearest street corner, statue, or to the police station where their anxious parents were loking for them. The most humorous episode, how- ever, of the whole celebration occur- red at Oxford Circus, where a braw Highlander in a kilt decided that he would descend the escalator sitting. He got half way down and then there was a ripping noise. His kilt had got caught in the stairway and parted company with him! The crowd roared. The Highlander re- mained seated and he did not move again until somebody brought him a mackintosh!-Vaneouver Province. • Four Cylinder For the fourth year in succession, a oar powered by a four cylinder engine won the American racing classic, at Indianapolis, at the rate of 113.580 miles per hour , for the 500 miles, The second winning car in this race was similarly powered; the third car had an eight cylinder engine. The real importance of these wins is the stam- ina and durability over the competing six and eight cylinder cars.

Michel Mok, in New York Post, writes:—The other day Judith An- derson, the actress, was lunching in the Algonquin, She was alone. When Frank Case, the owner of the hotel, saw that she had reached her dess- ert, he sat down at her table for a chat. "If there's one thing 1, don't like about my place," he told Miss An- derson, " it is that So many mels come in here to lunch by themselves And that's not the worst of it. When they have finished, they get up, look around the dining room for a pretty woman of their acquaintance and be- gin a conversation. I think the least they can do in return for the pleas- ure of talking toa lovely woman is to pay for her luncheon." Miss Anderson called the head- waiter. "George," she said, "give my check to Mr. Case." The joke was on the town's tall- est, most suave and literate inn- keeper, but he loved it Some hotel . men boast of their food, others of their service, still others of the elegance of their ap- pointments. These things Mr. Case regards as merely basic. It is his pride that the talk in his place is the best in New York. Take a little incident that occur- red in the lounge a week or two ago. A chap strolled in from the street, stopped at the news stand, asked the clerk for a stamp. • "What kind of a stamp?" the . girl wanted to know. The stranger pondered a moment. 'Give me one with a picture of Ina Claire on it," he said, "I'm tired of those old generals." It is Mr. Case's contention that this couldn't have happened in any American hotel except 'the Algon- quin. The atmosphere of his house, he feels, just breeds that sort of thing. From its beginning thirty-four years ago the house has catered to writers, actors, playwrights, newspa- per men. It so happens that Mr. Case, who started as room clerk, then became manager, next lessee and finally ten years ago bought the hotel, likes that kind of folk. It is he who has made the Algonquin New York's equival- ent of London's Cheshire Cheese. His Master's Car How can a dog know his master's automobile from thousands of other similar cars a block away, by the sound of its motor? Arthur Lawson, "red -cap" at the Union Pacific would like an 'answer to the question, as he told of a strange experience of the past week. A stray dog wandered into the sta- tion. He refused'to allow anyone to come near ,him, :although accepting regular food rations from kind- hearted Arthur. For four days the dog sat on the sidewalk leading into the station watching automobiles go by. During the time Arthur esti- mates 200,000 or more cars whiz- zed along Colorado street. "Then all 'of a sudden," said the "red -cap," "the dog made a dash into the street incidentally knocking me down as he went'by. He jumped in- to a car and sure enough, ,it was the owner. The strangest part about it is that he started on his wild dash even before the car was in sight." A happy reunion between the dog and his owner followed in which the "red=cap" came in for a large share of thanks for the care he took of the devoted pet. Strangely enough,, after introductions, the dog who hereWare re had paid no attention wliatpvtato Arthur or anyone else around <;.ths Union Pacific station, jumped about the "red -cap" in frenzies of joy as if he too were extending thanks.

Continued evident of the practical practical value of the Boy Scout train- inghas recently brought the gift of Headquarters Building to: Scouts in three Ontario towns. A new clubhouse for ''the Scouts of Parry Sound was re- ce1lt y opened by His Worship Mayor Jackson and members of the town council, the building in Agricultura Park having been given the Scouts by the- Couneil At Sarnia Mrs, W. J. Hanna presentd'. a frame building at 3igin ;otreet,'far use as a I3eadquar. tors ,for the Local Boy Scouts Associa- tion, to be known,, as Coronation Hall. At Tillsonburg the Bell Telephone Company were the donors: of a build- ing on the condition: that the Scouts removed it to a site given by Miss Cora Andel:Sou. Tile structure was frame, with, a brick veneer. The thrifty Scoots negotiated a sale of the bricks, and at once began stripping them off.

Following, the example of Scout Re- forest?ation Woila carried out for some years at Angus, Ont., the Scouts of Fort Erie this spring planted 700 young saplingsnear the Scout Cabin on Ridge Road, and the Boys of the 1st` Beamsville Troop planted 600 trees in `he game preserve south of that town. ust Save Trees r Suffer For It r +Tetter ;in. Toronto Globe and Mail : -+-1 feel ,quite sure that your excel- lent editorials on reforestation are doing Plush to awaken the people of this Province to the disastrous re- sults of the present lack of proper control in regard to the cutting down and replanting of"our• wooded areas. i;ny one who gives any thought to the subject can hadly'fail to wonder wlfmore definite steps are not being taken by means of proper legislation to ";guard against the inevitable re- sults cf this `situation. There is y aiziple evidence of the benefits 'which havie been obtained by the methods in use; in some ..of the older countries, wh(ch have beeii realized in time that their forests are; ,not inexhaustible 'an( ° have taken the necessary steps to '`conserve then:. The fact that by so doing they have placed a great in- d*ry on a permanent foottlig is only ono; and=perhaps not the most im- PW.ant,- point. The %efect on the is Ori supply and the presarving of TI ,sal for agricultural purposes is rV t'1'athing we surely cannot ignore. male• factor that Must have a bear- ing on this whole„ question seems to me the tremendous waste occasioned by' the annual 'cutting of ' literally millions of young trees for the Christmas -tree trade. One can hard- ly blame our neighbors to the south for being well "'content to allow us to denude our ]and as we are doing and sell thein 'hundreds of thousands of good 'trees at a few cents each. It seems almost absurd that the Gov- ernment should spend the money they do ;each year in replanting and per- mit all their efforts to be more than offset by this one comparatively un- important ' bit of trade. W. H. H. BOSWELL, Toronto. If A Century Since Vanco ver Had First Train Though Vancouver made' no: fuss about-itat all, May 24 was one of the most important aniversaries in the History of the city. It was on May 24, -1887, at 2.45 p.m., that the first traitscontineiital train, its engine clothed in flags and slogans, and bear. ing a portrait of Queen Victoria, steamed into the city. That train, 50 years ago, did a num er of things which Vancouver should remember. It forged another link in the -chain of Confederation, binding the Pacific province to the provinces on the Atlantic. It tied the baby city on Burard Inlet into the Canadian commercial fabric; and gave it the start which enabled it to make a pro- gressively larger place for itself. It gave Vancouver a position, too, on the "All Bed Line", the all -British system of transportation which ties the Do - min ns and the • ,Motherland to- gs.41i�. , Vaacouver would do well to rem- eiuber that first train, for it bad not cone, while there would still be a city on Biirrard Inlet; it would not be Van, oouver, and It wouldnot be whero Vancotaver stancls,: but farther oast, at the Inlet's stead, s How, the difference in location' would have affected the fortunes of tl>yo 'port It is perhaps Useless t0 Ir'tie, 'but` there is not much doubt these, ,fortunes would have been af- fected. ,The city would have been tar - titer from the sea, farther from the bexchos and resorts which have de, vsloped, closer to the N'Orth Arlin, and the mountains, closer 10 the F'1'aser and the Pitt, closer. to Now WOStinin' stet It would have boon a afty with problems different from those Van- couver had had to master. It would '.very likely have had different people at the start. In short, it would have been a different city. eekeeping in 1936 'Reached. High Lev ,1 The beekeeping season of 1936 proved to be one of the best on re- cord, notwithstanding the fact that extreme heat and drought took se- vere toll of all crops over a wide area of the country. Not since 1931 has honey production reached such a high level as during the 1936 season, and there are only two years when the production exceeded that of 1936 namely, 1930 and 1931, with crops of 29,549,000 pounds and 26,666,- 000 6,666;000 pounds respectively. The 1936 honey crop is estimated at 28,241,- 000 8,241;000 pounds as compared with 24,- 291,000 pounds in 1935, an increase of 3,950,000 pounds, or 16.3 per cent. The outstanding feature of the season was the phenomenal yield ob- tained in the Prairie Provinces. Fa- vourable weather continuing well in- to September, extended the normal season considerably and resulted in bumper yields. Crops of 500 pounds per bee colony were not uncommon, and the average for the province of Saskatchewan was more than double that of the previous year, while in Manitoba and Alberta it was nearly twice the 1935 figure. As a result of these conditions, Manitoba produc- ed 8,135,500 pounds; Saskatchewan 2,636,300 pounds, and Alberta, 1,- 850,000 pounds. Ontario, normally the largest pro- ducer by a wide margin felt the ef- fects of the summer scorching and the crop was reduced to 8,970,000 pounds, or about 75 per cent. of the 1935 output. Quebec production, placed at 5,395,500 pounds was well above the five-year average of 4,- 073,000 pounds. Crops in Nova Sco- tia, 60,000 pounds and New Bruns- wick 50,000 pounds were normal, and Prince Edward Tsland with 14,- 000 pounds, registered an increase of 5,000 pounds. Production in Brit- ish Columbia declined slightly from the 1935 level, the total crop of 1, 120,700 pounds being a little less than the five-year figure of 1,190,000 pounds. Sault Girl First Ontario € oman Minister Mss Reba Hern, B.A., the Sault Ste. Ratio young lady who was re- cently ordained es a minister of the United Church, is the first woman to be ordained in Ontario, the second_ in Canada, and the event may mark a new trend in; church developments in the Dorninion. In the past the position of min'ster has been allnost exclusively confined to tlte' rifle sex, although there have been some outstanding exceptions. The next few years, however, :nay see many women following Miss Horn's .example and that may bring an entirely new outlook into church matters, Miss Heim is to be stationed at ydal Bank and her many friends in the district will wish her well, feeling sure that the congregation will be well served.
