Bentley, of Great Lever, Bolton, gave birth to a second twin. boy 72 hours after the birth of the Farmers Better Off In Old 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 Hon. 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. )3. Fairbairn, deputy minister of agricul- ture and Dr. G. I. Christie, president of the O.A.C., 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- cerned with dollars and cents, but they should keep others from deriv- ing eriving 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 inches 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 more 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 maintainedits reputation as the most • good-humored in the world. - It laughed .at every thing, even when messages came , through the police loud -speakers .ase.. 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 brew 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 e mackintosh? -Vancouver Province. Four Cylinder Wins Again! For the fourth year in succession, a car powered by a four cylinder engine won the American racing classic at ladlaeapolig; -at thselate 0%213.580 miles per lieut., 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. These qualities can be readily seen when the Willys 37 engine is studied against other engines of similar capacity. • Price. and specifications subject I9 etan$a without notice. 1,. DELIVERED tillCP.

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 men 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 to a 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. Front its beginning thirty-four years ago the, house has.^'catered to writers, actors, playwrights, newspa- per men. •µ+' It so happens thai Mr. Case, who started as. room clerk, then became manager, next leo�� a and finally ten years ago bong -IA: ie hotel, likes that kind of folk „Ii: is he who has made the Algongti n'New York's equival- ent of 'Linden'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 pito 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.. iE 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 heretofore had paid no attention whatever to Arthur or anyone else around the *Union Pacific station, jumped about the "red -cap" in frenzies of joy as if he too were extending thanks. 45 -Foot Cruiser For Sale New Chrysler 6 -Cylinder Mar- ine Engine with V 'Type drive.

Continued evident of the practical practical value of the Boy Scout train- ing has recently brought the gift of Headquarters Building to Scouts in three Ontario towns. A new clubhouse for the;Scouts of Parry Sound was re- cently Opened by His Worship Mayor Jackson and members of the town council, the building in Agriculture Park having been given the Scouts by the Council. At Sarnia Mrs. W. J. Hanna- presented a frame building at Elgin Street for use as a Headquar- ters for the Local Boy Scouts Associa- tion, to be known as Coronation Hall. At Tilisonburg 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 Anderson. The structure was frame, with a brick veneer. The thrifty Scouts negotiated a sale of the bricks, and at once began stripping them off. When presenting a large Union Jack to the town of Brampton at a meeting of the town council, Mrs. M, 'Sharpe, Regent of Peel Regiment Chapter I. 0. D. E., paid a tribute to the loyal services rendered by the Boy Scouts in each day raising and lowering the flags for several years. The new flag is presented the town each year by tree I.O.D.E. Following the example of Scout Re- forestration Work carried out for some years at Angus, Ont., the Scouts of Fort Erie this spring planted 700 young saplings near the Scout Cabin on Ridge Road, and the Boys of the lst Beamsville Troop planted 600 trees in he game preserve south of that town. ust Save Trees r Suffer, For It Letter in Toronto Globe and Mail : -I feel quite sure that your excel- lent editorials on reforestation are doing much 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. Any', one who gives any thought to the subject can hardly fail to wonder why more definite steps are not being taken by means of proper legislation to guard against the inevitable re- sults 'of this situation. There is ample 'evidence of the benefits which have been obtained by the methods in use in some of the older countries, which have been realized in time that their forests are not inexhaustible and have taken the necessary steps to conserve them. The fact that by so doilg they have placed a great in- dustry on a permanent footing is only one, and perhaps not the most im- portant, point. The effect on the water supply and the preserving . of the'soii for agricultural purposes is something we surely cannot ignore. One 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 aur neighbors to the. south • for being well content to allow qss to denude our land as we are donlg ',n. sell them hundreds of thousands b good trees at a few cents each. I 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. Half A Century Since Vancouver Had First Train Though Vancouver made no fuss about it at 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 transcontinental 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 ; Confederatidn, binding the Pacific proyince.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 liirger place for itself. It gave Vancouver a position, too, on the "All Red Line', the all -British system of transportation which ties the Do- minions and the Motherland to- gether. Vancouvei' would clo well to rem- ember that first train, for it had not cone, while there would still be a city on Burrard Inlet, it would not be Van- eouver, and it would not be where Vancouver stands, but farther east, at the Inlet's head. thedifference How felenee in location would have affected the fortunes of the port it is perhaps useless to argue, lett there is not much doubt these fortunes would have been af- fected. The City would have been far- ther frons the sea, farther from the beaches and resorts which have de- ve]oped,. closer to the North Arm and the mountains, closer to the Fraser and the Pitt, Closer to New Westmin- sten, It would have been a city 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. Beekeeping in 1936 Reached High.

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 isestimated at 28,241,- 000 pounds as •compared with 24,- 291,000 4;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 tine.normal season considerably and resulted in 'bumper yields. Crops of 500 pounds per bee colony were not uncommon, and the average dor 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 x,636,300 pounds, and Alberta, 1,- , 40,000 pounds. Ontario, normally the largest pro- cl,Upar by a wide margin felt the ef- fertsaof the summer scorching and thea'litp was reduced to 3,970,000 poun'or about 75 per cent. of the 1935 tput. Quebec production, placed at 5,395,500 pounds was well above the five-year average of 4,- 073,000 ;073,000 pounds. Crops in Nova Sco- tia, 60,000 pounds and New Bruns- wick 50,000 pounds were normal, and Prince Edward Island 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 ;120,700 pounds being a little less than the five-year figure of 1,190,000 pounds. Sault Girl First Ontario Woman Minister Mass Reba Hern, B.A., the Sault Ste. Harie young lady who was re- cently ordained as 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 Dominion. In the past the position of min'ster has been almost exclusively confined to the male sex, although there have been some outstanding exceptions. The next few years, however, may see many women following Miss Horn's example and that may bring an entirely new outlook into church platters. Miss Horn is to be stationed at Rydal Bank and her many friends in the district will wish her well, feeling sure that the congregation will be well served.
