Many progressive firms today are
using long distance telephone
service to get sales at lower costs.
They divide their territories into
"Key Towns" from which dif-
ferent groups of • customers can
be called conveniently and econ-
omically.
We assist in this by compiling
Sequence Lists of calls and giv-
ing each call a Code Number.
The salesman then just tells the
Long Distance operator: "I want
numbers 2, 6 and 9 on my Se-
quence List".
The increased facilities for long
distance service make Key -town

SUNDAY AFTERNOON
(By Isabel Hamilton, Goderich, Ont,)
Tell His love beyond all telling,
Seeking, following those who flee,
Love rebellious hearts compelling
To His service glad and free.
Thus a precious harvest gather,
North and south and east and west,
To the glory of the Father,
Son, and Spirit ever blest.

S. S. LESSON FOR MARCH 9th
Lesson Topic—The Parable 'If The
Sower.
Lesson Passage—Ma.tthew
18-23.
Golden Text—Matthew 13:9.
Great multitudes were gathered on
the seashore to listen to Jesus. "And
He spake many things unto them in
parables," Yet the "many things"
were about one thing—the subject
never changed. It was the kingdom
of heaven and Jesus brought forth
illustrations from every quarter of
life and nature. He actually likened
the kingdom of heaven to earthly per -
sone and earthly .things. The king-
dom of heaven is like unto a sower,
like unto a merchantman, like unto
leaven, like unto a mustard seed. Do
these parables fit the circumstances
which are found round about us or
are they ancient history? The par-
able of the sower is an exact picture
of all endeavors to do good in the
world. If Jesus of Nazareth were
teaching ,on our earth in person to -day
Hie could not change the parable in
any of its facts and application; you
,cannot point to a wheat field in which
no tares are to be found. We are
puzzled by the forces of evil present
in all departments of secular and
sacred activities. The answer made
by the householder is the only answer
we have to -day about all vicious and
unhappy results, "An enemy hath
done this."
Verses 4 -8. --Look into every king-
dom, the business, the literary, the.
educational, the political and the
church and you will find the parable
of the sower and the seed. Any and
every teacher finds the different kinds
of soil among the pupils; every prea-
cher finds the same thing in the
church. There's sowing by the way-
side, stony places where there is not
much earth, thorny spots where the
lessons or the truths get choked and
lastly there's the good ground.
Jesus proceeded to explain this par-
able to His disciples. In the first
class are those who hear but, not un-
derstanding, cease to give heed and
under the influence of the wicked one,
soon forget what they heard, In the
second class are those who gladly pay
heed to what they hear, but, having
no tenacity of purpose, endure only

while all goes well, "for when tribu-
lation or =persecution ariseth because
of the world, by and by he is offend-
ed." In the third class are those who
hear the word, but are overmastered
by the things of the world and by the
deceitfulness of riches. In the last
class are those who hear the word and
understand it. They grow and bring
forth much fruit.
WORLD MISSIONS
Pioneering in Chosen.
Rev. J. K. Gamble, missionary of
the M. E. church in Seoul, writes:
"There are in the Seoul District six
city churches and nine country cir-
cuits, making fifteen pastoral charg-
es. Seoul is at one edge, and the
remotest part of the district is 150
miles away. The railroad runs
through one part of it, but most of
the work must be reached by auto,
bicycle, pony or on foot. During the
quarter I visited at least six places
where no foreign missionary had ever
gone. I held services in the home of
a former sorceress, who, with her
husband and children, had become
Christians; met on boy bY who had led
his father and mother to become
Christian's; held service in one church
with about seventy-five people p'res-
e't where less than two years ago
there was not one Christian; planned
for four new church buildings; plan-
ned for building or repairing three
parsonages; and visited four of our
primary schools, each with an attend-
ance of about thirty. The money, en-
ergy and prayer being put forth in
behalf of Korea by the Church in the
homeland and by the missionaries on
the field are bringing forth fruit unto
life eternal_ In all cases of new
churches being built the Korean
i,hristian contributes at least one
third of the coat."—From News From

CANADIAN GARDENING SE-KVICE
Planting Indoors.
One can easily grow a supply of
flowering plants as well as those veg-
etables such as tomatoes, cabbages
and cauliflowers which require an
early start, indoors. If a large quan-
tity is wanted, of course a hot bed is
advisable, but where only a few
plants are required use shallow box-
es, about twelve inches by eighteen.
Punch a few holes in the bottom to
allow for drainage and add a layer of
cinders or gravel, Fill the rest of
the box with rich fine soil. Moisten
the earth and then mark off your
rows which need only be an inch a-
pe: t. Sow the seed and then cover
the top of the box tightly with a
piece of sacking or burlap. The bur-
laps will prevent the seed from wash •
ing out and will also hasten germina-
tion. When the plants have pushed
up through the soil, remove the cover
and give them full sunlight. Unless
there is a storm window on the out-
side, keep the box at least eight inch-
es from the glass to avoid draughts
and low temperature. The box must
be turned around every day or so to
prevent the plants from becoming
spin:ily and pointing in one direction.
After the first set of leaves ha;,t„de-
veloped, transplant to another box
and give more room.
Specialties.
In ordering vegetables and flower
seeds, it is a good plan to choose
varieties of well known value for the
bulk of the planting. Small paekets
of some of the attractive specialties
may be added for trial.
Most seedsmen devote a section of
their catalogue to `specialties.'; In
this part of the catalogue are listed
new varieties that seem to have merit
and special strains of the well known
varieties that the seedsman has been
improving.
iSeedsmen are giving more and more
attention to securing varieties of the
best quality and to improving therm.

ate and furnish the necessary inf,rm-
atin on which to base a selectio
Sweet Peas.
`weet peas should be plantedi just
as soon as one can work up the
round. These will come along in
first class shape no matter what the
weather following planting is like. It
is best to dig a trench about a foot
or so deep. Place a layer of rich soil
or rotted leaves or manure in the bot-
tom, covering it with about six inches
of fine loam. In this, plant the sweet
peas about three inches deep, and an
inch apart. The rains will gradually
fill in the trench, and the plants will
develop a very deep root growth as
a result, which will protect them a-
gainst summer droughts. Get the
very best seed possible, and try some
specie shades. After the peas have
come up an inch or so; thin out to
four inches apart, and supply brush
work, strings or poultry netting at
least thirty inches high for the vines
to climb on. Wire netting is the least
desirable for this purpose, as it is
liable to become hot in warm weather
and injure the growing plants.
The Lawn.
A careful inspection of the lawn is
advisable as soon as the frost comes
out of the ground. The past winter
has been particularly severe on win-
tering grass and clover, some of the
coldest weather occurring when there
vias little cover of snow. As a re-
sult, there has been a good deal of
freezing and thawing, which, alter-
nately contracting and releasing the
top layer of the soil, breaks off many
fine roots and thus kills the grass and
clover. To correct this condition, it
is advisable to go over the lawn in
early spring with a heavy roller or
pounder. Bare and thin spots should
get some good seed and plenty of it.
Sprinkling this over a late snowfall
is a good plan, especially when the
snow is melting and will disappear in
a few hours. 'Phe seed will work
down into the soil and germinate in
a few days.
Buttermilk Pancakes.
Two cups flour, Ye teaspoon salt,
134. cups buttermilk, 1 teaspoon bak-
ing soda, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon melted
butter and, if desired, a tablespoon-
ful sugar.
Method: Mix and sift the flour,
salt and soda; add the buttermilk and
the egg—well beaten. Drop by spoon-
fuls on a well -greased hot griddle.
Cook on one side and when puffed

GAME COCKS MAY CROW IN U. S.
SUPREME COURT
That venerable 'ifl somewhat dis-
reputable sport, cock fighting, has
been brought to public attention re-
cently by many American newspapers
which are following the battle of
Thomas R. Kimball, of Omaha, to keep
his fighting chickens on his premises.
The neighbors say they are a nuisance,
A court of first resort has said that
they are, and Mr. Kimball has been
requested to move them to one of his
farms. 'Mr, Kimball has appealed to
the Supreme Court of the state and
declares he will carry the matter to
the United States Supreme Court if he
does not win one of the intervening
mains. He has also refused to' coin -
promise by ,destroying his cocks, but
has signified his willingness to put
them in a pit with an equal number
of other cocks of the same weight and
give them their chance of extermin-
ation or being exterminated. That, he
says, is the proper way for a game
cock to be disposed of. But the laws
of the state forbid this solution of
the matter. Mr. Kimball says that the
laws of the state, and in fact of all
states, are not more unenforceable
with regard to prohibition than they
are with regard to cock fighting. He
has welcomed the opportunity pro-
vided by the lawsuit to hold forth up-
on the charm of the game cock and
the sport he provides.
Mr. Kimball, it should be explain-
ed, is one of the most eminent archi-
tects in the United States and former
president of the'American Society' of
Architects. That such a man should
be interested in such a sport as cock
fighting will no doubt come as a sur-
prise to many people who do not un-
derstand
m-derstand that as a matter of fact
this curious pastime has probably a
stronger appeal to its addicts than
any other sport in the world. It is
well known that it had a tremendops
appeal to George Washington and
since then has found its chief sup-
porters in horsemen, millionaires,
members of the learned professions
and the landed aristocracy. One might
mention that, in the opinion of tens
of thousands of people cock fighters
of this and earlier generations, no
achievement—of the Earls of Derby,
even the establishing of the great an-
nual race at Epsom, was so import-
ant as its development of the white -
legged, black -red fighting cocks which
have been the victors in 10,000 fights
in all parts of the world where such
contests are held. Mr. Kimball said
that be became a breeder of game-
cocks because of an irresistible Men-
delian curiosity. The bird is, he
says, "the only bit of material that
I could be automatically sure had not
suffered by man's interference. God
made the gamecock; a single drop of
other blood banishes the game quality
for ever. In man or rooster game
means not only the willingness but the
ability to die rather than run."
There would have been no objection
to Mr. Kimball's continuing his ex-
periments had he not chosen as the
site of his barnyard laboratory a piece
of ground- not far from the heart of
Omaha. In the spacious grounds sur-
rounding a beautiful residence, Mr.
Kimball keeps his cocks, 150, of them,
each in a separate pen. This segrega-
tion is necessary since if the 150 birds
were kept together the day after they
were thus amalgamated would see not
more than one living, and perhaps not
even one. It is admitted by every-
body that the birds are a beautiful
sight, and it is also admitted that the
condition in which they are kept would
compare from a sanitary point of view
with those in any fastidious home.
But the trouble is that the birds, crow.

I't happens that on one side of them
is a Christian Science Church, and on
the other a .maternity hospital, while
across an alley are to be found sev-
eral apartment houses. When the birds
crow at night or while services are
proceeding the neighbors are wrath
and their displeasure is manifested by
the presence of the lawns next morn-
ing of various missiles including
empty gin bottles, though from what
point of the compass these protests
have been directed is not stated.
But the missiles failed to have any
soothing effect on the birds. On the
oontrary they crowed the more lustily
and since they were protected by wire
and could not be injured, the relics
of neighborhood debauches merely an.
noyed Mr. Kimball and did nothing to
abate the nuisance, So the neighbors
complained to the police. Mr. Kim-
ball was prosecuted and convicted. He
immediately appealed and refused to
consider a compromise whereby he
might withdraw his birds to a farm.
He said that the birds would not be
under his eye on the farm, and he
considered the edification of his eye
more important than any annoyances
to a neighbor's ear. In any event he
declared that some of the most beau-
tiful music in the world was that em-
itted by a good fighting cock and com-
plained that his neighbors were prob-
ably tone deaf as well as esthetically
dumb.
In the course of justifying his hobby
Mr, 'Kimball stated that, estimating
the value of gamecocks at $10 each,
they represented an annual expendi-
ture of between $80,000,000 and $90,-
000,000 in the United States alone.
American breeders supplied Mexico
with game birds to the value of be-
tween $7,000,0430 and $8,000,000 annu-
ally. The sport is aided by several
well -edited magazines, one of which
has a paid circulation of about 100,-
000 copies. Cock fighting takes place
in all states of the Union and very
rarely do the authorities interfere for
these mains are well conducted and
rowdyism and drunkenness are
frowned upon. The law against the
fighting, he said, was unenforceable.
Mr. Kimball contends that cock fight-
ing is the only sport in the world
where crookedness is impossible. The
birds cannot be corrupted, and a drawn
decision with promises of a return
match for a larger purse has no at-
tractions for them. Mr. Kimball also
calls attention to the historic fact
that it was only by a single vote that
the proposal that the gamecock in-
stead of the eagle should be the na-
tional emblem of the United States
was defeated. Subsequently it was
adopted as the emblem of the Demo-
cratic party. Nobody can contend
that when it was exchanged for the
donkey the party showed any improve
meat.

Food Likes and Dislikes.
One of the questions most com-
monly asked by parents is as to how
their child may be taught to like the
food which they know he should eat.
We all like foods to which we are
accustomed. It is for this reason that
it is essential to begin in infancy to
accustom the child to the taste. of de-
sirable foods which he will then like
throughout life because he is accus-
tomed to them. Cereals are intro-
duced into the diet of the infant be-
fore the sixth month; vegetable juices
DADDY CAN NOW
FAT ANYTHING
He dearly loved a rich tit -bit. The
spirit was willing, but the flesh was weak.
Whenever he ate anything rich, his boys
used to say, " Poor dad, he will pay the
penalty to -morrow." Read the sequel
in his own words :—
Since taking the regular dose of
Kruschen Salts it is quite different, and
:ny boys enjoy themselves seeing me
eat what 1 dare not touch before. My
eldest son was the same, but since he
has taken Kruschen Salts he can eat
and enjoy whatever is put in front of
him."
Modern artificial conditions, errors of
diet, overwork, lack of exerci;e, and
so on, are bound to have injurious
effects in the long run providing due
precaution is not taken.
Kruschen Salts should be your safe-
guard. Besides cleansing the body of
impurities gently, surely and painlessly,
they possess a vital power of giving new
life and vitality to the countless millions
of cells of which every body is composed.
That is why physicians never hesitate
to recommend Kruschen Salta.

shortly after. Other foods, in small
amounts at first, are radually ad-
ded. If this is done, by the time the
child is two years of age, a goocLotart
will have been made. i
Our likes and dislikes are largely
a matter of imitation. We begin to
eat olives because we see that 'others
eat them with pleasure, that, indeed,
they regard them as a luxury. The
attitude of the parents to different
foods is largely the attitude their
children will have. If parents cannot
train themselves to eat and enjoy de-
sirable foods, and so set a good ex-
ample, they cannot expect to train
their children to do so.
Children want to drink tea or cof-
fee because they see their parents
drink them with some relish. The
same desire can be cultivated in the
child for any foods, through the ex-
ample shown by the parents.
It should 'be a fixed rule never to
talk about the food dislikes of a child
when he is present. Refer to his
likes, if something about food must
be discussed, but never to his dislikes:
Such discussions, or the display of
feelings, even without words, fix the
dislikes permanently in the mind of
the child.
When a new food is given, there
should be no fuss about it, Serve a
small amount and act as if the child
would eat it, as if he were now old
enough to have this adult food.
Food should be served in an at-
tractive manner. Meals should be at
regular hours and time taken to en-
joy each meal. Give small servings
and repeat, rather than one very Targe
helping.
A dislike for bland foods, such as
milk, frequently means that the child
is having too much sweet foods, or of
foods with a very distinctive flavor.
In such cases all sweets and highly
flavored foods should be withdrawn
for a few days.
Children are not to be scolded or
blamed for their dislikes. The par-
ents are wholly responsible. The
child's likes and dislikes are the re-
sult of the training which he has re-
ceived from his parents, whom, after
all, he did not select. By proper train-
ing, it is possible to have children who
like simple, wholesome foods.

BAR AND BENCH SHOCKED BY
MACDONALD'S WILLS
For the first time in Canadian his-
tory a county court judge has de-
nounced a Court of Appeal and has
declared in, unequivocal language that
moneyed interests, are seeking to cor-
rupt the fount of justice. He has ap-
pealed to the people and the Legis-
lature over the heads of his learned
and honorable brethren and it appears
that he is being heard. In any event,
warrants have been issued for the ar-
rest of two of the men he has men-
tioned as having conspired to bring
the law into contempt and set aside
the expressed wish of a testator. The
judge in question is Lewis St. George
Stubbs, Surrogate Court judge and
senior county judge in Winnipeg. The
court he denounces is the Manitoba
Court of Appeal, and the men whom
he has charged with conspiracy and
for whom warrants have been issued
are John Alexander Forlong, a prom-
inent business man of Winnipeg and
William Arthur Irish, also prominent
in that city. In 1919 some curious
antics took place in Winnipeg courts
and in the city there is a class divi-
sion that is more marked, perhaps,
than in any other large Canadian
,own. Whether these facts have any
connection with the extraordinary
Macdonald case must be left to char-
itable individual speculation.
Alexander Macdonald was a Scotch -
man, and an old timer in Winnipeg.
He opened a grocery store and in the
course of a few decades it expanded
into a wholesale store and later into
a system of chain stores in many
Manitoba towns. I•t has been said
that those who did not know where
he had been 'born were able to guess
his nationality, partly through his
fortune waxed he showed keen inter-
est in various charities in the city
that had made .him a millionaire and
it was generally understood that when
he died these charities would,, be
handsomely endowed. Mr. Macdonald
passed to his fathers in his 84th
year, on August 23, 1928, leaving an
estate of something more than
$2,000,000. In due course the disposi-
tion of this estate came, before Judge
Stubbs, who has a reputation for
probity common to all members of the
bench in Canada and a little special
reputation of his own for stubborn-
ness. Judge Stubbs practiced law for
some years before becoming a judge
and earned his promotion from the
bar. A will was presented to Judge
Stubbs which had been signed a few
weeks before the death of Mr. Mac-
donald. It pp/lofted to divide the es-
tate among his son Duncan Cameron
Macdonald, his daughter, Grace Anne
Forlong, and his son-in-law, John
Alexander Forlong. The son died a
few days before the father.
:But it was also brought to the at-
tention of the court that in 1923 Mr.
Macdonald has written another and
quite different will. In this case it
was provided that the bulk of the
estate 'should go to various charities
in which the testator was interested,
while the daughter received $100,000.
Incidentally it should be explained
that in his lifetime Mr. Macdonald
had made handsome provision for both
his children. Mrs, Forlong had also
inherited a large sum from her
mother and later from her brother.
But this 1923 will was witnessed by
just one person and according to the
law it was invalid. A will must be
witnessed by two persons, though
nothing is commoner than for a will
to be accepted if only one of the sig-
natories appears to swear to the doe-
'ument. The neglect to have a second
witness was called to Mr. 1Vlacdonald's
attention by his lawyers and he then
instructed them to prepare another
will which generaIIy carried out the
'nttions expressed in the first. He
had sent the first will and a copy of
some notations concerning floe second
to hie lawyers who forwarded to him
the draft of the second wilt They

retained the first will and his pencil-
led instructions.
This second will seems to have dis-
appeared from the Macdonald home.
In any event it never was found after
his death, but instead, the will which
he signed when he was lying almost
at the point of death, was offered for
probate. Judge Stubbs was suspic-
iaus of this document. In the first
place he believed that Mr. Macdonald
was not competent to make a will at
.this time. It also came to light that
the witnesses of the will deemed haw-
ing signed it in the presence of each
other and the testator. There were al-
so interlineations which aroused his
suspicions. Irish, by the way, is one
of the witnesses of this will. Another
witness, Miss Isbister, a nurse, has
sworn that she did not know what she
was signing. What she did sign,
whether knowingly or not, was a
statement to the effect that Mr. Mac-
donald was competent to make a will.
Judge Stubbs refused to accept the
death -bed will and declined to give ad-
ministration to Mrs. Forking, as she
demanded. He said that the plain
purpose of Macdonald was to give his
estate to the charities in which he
had always been interested and which
had been mentioned in the will with
only one witness and the second docu-
ment which has disappeared. Mrs.
Forlong then appealed to Judge Don-
ovan of the Court of Appeal, and he
directed Judge Stubbs to hand over
the estate to Mrs. Forlong. He re-
fused and referred the/ chatter to the
Court of Appeal which decided that
Judge Donovan had exceeded his au-
thority. But this court later ordered
Judge Stubbs' to admit Mrs. Foriong's
rights in the matter or appear before
it and explain why the order should
not. be issued. Judge Stubbs did not
appear. He took the ground that the
Court of Appeal had no authority.
Nevertheless the authority was ex-
ercised and letters of administration
were granted to Mrs. Forlong, Then
Judge Stubbs appealed to the public,
demanding a Royal Commission. He
also demanded that the Manitoba leg-
islature should validate the first will,
which lacked the second witness. He
has accused Forlong and Irish of con-
spiracy, and warrants have been is-
sued for their arrest.
