The Express says: 4 * '5 The Fruit and Vegetable Inspec- tion Branch of the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture is cracking down on farmers who pick and at- tempt to ship to markets produce that is below standard. * t. "Some farmers start screaming, said. an official at the inspection branch, "but they asked for it.•' At the convention of the Niagara Pen- insula Fruit Sa Vegetable Growers Association last fall a motion was unanimously passed called for str:et government inspection of all fruit and. vegetables harvested. A similar Motion was passed by the Hord - Latham! council in Ottawa. * * The main idea behind the motion was to rase the standard of On' tat'io fruit sold to the consumer. Poor fruit of the pint .few years had under -quality, green, sub -standard produce undermined the confidence of the consumer in Ontario produce. with the result that the shopper was more likely to buy imported fruit, either from United States or British Columbia farina. The con- sumer, it.wwas stated at the conven- tion, would rather pay a few cents more for his produce and he assured of No.' 1 quality. Chcrr'ct that were seized this week h,y t inspect'nil branch, mat ked a,; No. 1 quality, would have made the most tolerant shop- per hopping mad, and certainly would have made him or her think twice before buying Ontario pro- duce,. stamped No. 1. * * a: One basket seized. when sorted out, contained 18% No. 1 cherries, The remainder were immature, small, dried-up, rotten and away below 'No. 1 standard. "A shopper buying that basket w'oulcl have blown his top," said the official at the inspection branch, "and would sooner have thrown his money away at a rare track than toss it down the brain on trash like" that." Supervising Inspector L. C. Sturdy seized 20 similar baskets at the CFR freight station at Wes- tern Hill. "Whether they realize it or not.," said i\ir. Sturdy, "farmers like that are only cutting their own throats by allowing fru't like that to leave their farms." He said that there have been quite a few similar instances this year when below par produce has been sent back to the farmer. "They asked for it, and when we putt the screws on, they scream." said Mr. Sturdy. * t. 1 ie said that there are many farmers who are co-operating to the fullest in seeing that only top duality produce is shipped. "They realize that by doing it that way, the fruit industry in Ontario has a much greater chance of prosper- ing." rosper- ing.,. # * 4' 1\1r. St:n-dy said that all ehert`'ies, VA ' RD PUZZLE 10.

They have also robbed houses, committed murder and occasionally have lost their own lives while sleepwalking. Recent cases in medical journals describe that of the 16 -year-old schoolboy who used to get but of bed, pick his way through a dark- ened room, carefully avoiding all obstacles, then travel miles by foot and bus while still asleep. Next morning he would be back in his roots, unable to remember anything about it, Psychiatrists discovered that six months previously he had olun- teered to be hypnotised on tate stage. The hypnotist had told skirls that he would remain under hyp- notic influence for six months, after which time he must return to the theatre and see the hypnot- ist again. The boy's sleepwalking was an attempt to do this, Another case was that of tate taxi-driver who would go to sled, after a hard day's work, dress v:hi:e still asleep and do another five 3r six hours' stint, at the wheel.

It transpired that for twenty years the taxi-driver had worked only at nights, but considered that since he was -getting older lie would switch to daytime driving. The old habits were so strong that itis unconscious mind took hint back to work at nights while he was still asleep.

Otte sleepwalker tiers a length e string to his hand and to the bed - pest. In the night, as he was about to wauder again, the pull of the Acing wakened hits, and after that he was cured. But when this remedy has been tried on other sleepwalkers it hasn't always worked. They either broke Ilse string or untied it. When it Cordes 10 nntynll4 knots in their sleep most sleepwalkers are as good as lloudini used to be.

The trick worked the first night, but on the second her sleepwalking spouse merely removed the eider- down from the bed, f:ung it across tate marbles and went on his way. In 187(1 a man accused of murder tried to prove he was a somnambu- list and had fired the fatal shot in his sloe:1. The judge re:used to allow such testimony, but a court of appeal re- versers the guilty verdict and the defendant was eventually freed: Certain phases of sleepwalking still baffle the experts. (:)nly one fact is certain -- that the sleep- waiker's body is controlled by Itis subronscious 02011.

David Becomes King 1 Sam. 18: 1-5, 14-16; 22: 1-2: 2 Sam. 5: 1-5. Memory Selection=Man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. 1 Sam• Del 16:7. This is the first of four lessons directly on David. We have more information about his extremely important career than we has c' about any other Old Testament character. It is a thrilling story. He was the youngest of eight brothers and was brought in front following the sheep to be anointed king of Israel. When Saul desired a musician. one of itis servants sug- gested David, describing hint as one "that is cunning in playing and a mighty valiant ratan and a roan of war, and prudent ui mat- ters, and a comely person, and the Lord is with hint." History records no such remark- able friendship between two men as that between David and lot.a- than, King Saul's son. Under the circumstances one might bare ex- pected enmity and jealousy. But, instead, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David. On Jonathan's death David lamented, "1 am distressed for thee ne y brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy lots to hie was wonderful, passing the love of women." Forced to take refuge in the cave of Adullam, David was joined by 400 Ines of broken fortunes, rest- less spirits, who were so up against it they knew not what to do with themselves. - They were men with no reputation to Maintain, for whom vengeance was natural. Yet with David as their captain they offered no offence to the offensive Saul nor gave any disturbance to the peace of the kingdom. Their wild natures were subdued and di- rected. Thank God, Jesus, tit.; Son of David. is also ready to receive dis- tressed even and women who will choose him as their captain, and be commanded by hint. They will ftncl a nese- leader, a new service, and a new life --new things far more %v. -such -Hui than those that attrac- ted the four hundred to David of • SAFETZ' FIRST The railway porter looked search- ingly at the three girls waiting an the platform, "Aren't you the crooning trio who sang on the radio tonight?"
