IHAyJ HEAR "As soon as the cold weather comes 1 have to stop playing bil- liards," said Smith. "How's that?" asked his friend. ' "Every time the three balls . get together they remind me of my ov- ercoat." Customer (to head waiter): "Just as a matter of curiosity did the waiter who took my order leave any family?" "Darling, would you love me if I had only one eye?" "Why, no, dear. What a thing to say i r, "Very well, then. Let me carry that umbrella." "Last week my husband went rabbit -hunting, and we've since put up enough meat to last us a year." Neighbour — "He must be a cracker shot — getting all those rabbits." "Oh, hubby didn't shoot any rabbits. He hit a cow." Customer — 'I want a ton of Coal." Dealer — "What size?" Customer — "A 2,000 -pound ton, if it's not asking too much." Andrew Carnegie, the financier, had himself aroused each morning by the playing of the bagpipes. Everyone is of some use, even if nothing more than serv- ing as a horrible example. A city chap was crossing a past- ure: City Chap (shouting to a farmer) — "Say there, is this bull safe?" Farmer -- "Well, I reckon he is a lot safer than you are just now." Canadian N tional Railways Revenues The gross revenues of the all- inclusive Canadian National Rail- ways System for the week ending Nov. 7, 1938, were $4,011,965 as compared with 4,068,109 for the corresponding period of 1937, a de- crease of $ 56,144 What Science. * Is Doing * RADIUM ARTIFICIALLY PRODUCED Jean Frederick Joliet -Curie and his wife, Irene, daughter of the late Marie Curie, who discovered radium, have succeeded in artifi- cially producing radium elements, Thirty grams of rare radium would be required to produce the radium elements obtained by the Joliot-Curies. This is a remarkable achievement in view of the fact that the world radium supply is only 10 grams. —0, - FEVER AND ARTHRITIS Artificial fever — produced by electricity—is pictured as a possi- ble key to the successful treat- ment of arthritis and asthma. Such a fever, or temperature, when raised to a point that might result in death if produced by the body itself, has been used with some success in 133 cases of chronic arthritis. —0— TO REACH THE MOON There is no present possibility of man visiting the moon, but it would be rash to predict that such a visit will remain unmade, Dr. Peter M. Millman of the staff of the Dunlap Observatory said last week. But if it were possible for man to visit the moon, he would have to learn to walk all over again. "A space ship travelling 150 miles an hour would require 1,000 hours to reach the moon," he said. —0— ELECTRIC BRAIN DOES ARITHMETIC A mathematical brain operated by electrical waves that will quickly solve equations has been invented independently at the University of Pennsylvania and at the Radio Corporation of America laboratories. When direct current is used the electrical brain, will solve equations having real roots, and when alternating currents are used it will solve the equations when the roots are imaginary. Farm Column (Conducted by Professor Henry G. Bell with, the co-operation of the various departments of the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph.) Q. "Would you advise a person to top -dress fall wheat, and would you dress it lightly or heavily? And when we sowed it, we put 200 lbs. of fertilizer on it. Would you advise me to put straw or manure on the strawberries, and would you put it on lightly, or heavy?" — C. P., of Bruce County. A. Light dressing of strawy man- ure would be a good protection for fall wheat. I would not suggest a heavy top -dressing in addition to 200 lbs. per acre of fertilizer. You do not say what analysis was used, but the protection I mentioned should be beneficial. Regarding the putting of straw or strawy manure on strawberries, I would say that it is the practice of strawberry growers on light soils to apply a fairly good application of strawy manure in the Fall.

When the growers are not able to obtain a strawy manure, they put on a good covering of straw,. Q. "A person tells me if I sow fertilizer containing more than 2 per cent. lime that the lime will counteract on the fertilizer, thereby making it useless, while another says I may use fertilizer contain- ing 60 per cent. lime and still be as good." Would you be good en- ough to put me right on t11isr D. -- Essex County. A. Whether or not lime will react on fertilizer and counteract the et - feet of the phosphates, will depend upon the form of lime, the form of materials used in the fertilizer, and the length of time they are in con- tact. If the lime should be air -slak- ed burnt lime, it would be very ac., tive in reaction, or turning back the soluble phosphate to the insol- uble form. If the lime is natural ground calcium carbonate lime- stone, it will not act so quickly. If the lime is largely magnesium car- bonate or dolomitic limestone, the reaction will be slowest. 2 per cent. would be 40 lbs. in a ton. I believe it is possible to use double or triple this amount without much rever- sion, providing the mixed materials do not stand very long. 60 per cent. or 1,200 lbs. per ton seems to me to be an excessive amount of ground limestone to put in a mixture.I know that this has been clone in certain cases where such concen- trated material as ammo -phos (11- 48) used as a better business to put in just enough lime to make up a mixture to the half ton total where ammo -phos and concentrated potash are used, and reduce the amounts applied per acre. Fat Actually Shortens Life It has long been argued that fat persons live shorter lives than other people. Dr: Louis I. Dublin, of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., decided to test this theory on women. At a meeting of Life In- surance Medical Directors in New York, he cited statistics based on 121,248 women's policies and con- cluded: "The extra weight carried by these women eventually causes premature breakdown of the cir- culatory system." The Native Affairs Department of South Africa is investigating a complaint of a woman at Umhlali that her husband had traded•their two children for a motorcycle.

"When I'm Ma;,fcrs, "Well fellas, we've had a good day." Everyone goes to Chapel that evening and Whitey saunters along with the rest, curious as to the pro- ceedings. When they all sing though, he clunks Mo over the head, suggesting that he be quiet. Mo is hurt. Suppose he does sing, off4key a little. A bit later Whitey makes his first .real mistake when he tries to help Tony, a crippled boy, move his chair. 'cony angrily refuses his aid. "Whitey, gimme a piggy -back tomorrow?" Resentful because he doesn't understand the code of these boys who let a crippled guy alone ---which is all that Tony wants—Whitey gives his attention to the adoring little Pee -wee (Bobs Watson). Over the washbasin, Pee -wee chatters to him and laughs uproariously when Whitey tells him jokes. Whitey is in a fine, good humor by now and marches into the dormitory with assurance. "Smart guys, huh? Just wait." Most of the boys are in their beds already. There is an emptjl cot between Tony's bed and Mo s. Rub- bing his neck with his tbwel Whitey loudly de- mands some lights. Nobody answers but every eye in the room is fixed on. him. Flexing his muscles Whitey climbs under the covers and immediately crashes to the floor. There is loud laughter from all of the boys wlio have plotted the ,joke. "1'11 vote twice." "When Prat, Mayor--" Whitey plans revenge. 'Learning that the boys hold a semi-annual election among themselves for Mayor, he decides that the next office -holder of this "fat job" will be himself. He starts his campaign and Pee -wee laughs joyously when he sees the carie - attires that Whitey makes of the other candidates. Brashly, Whitey tells Mo he will win in a walk.
