Celery Growers Organize
For Improved Marketing
•Co-operative marketing was chos-
en as a practical means of distribut-
ing their product, when the celery
producers of 'Thedford recently or-
ganized the Thedford Celery Grow-
ers' Co-operative Limited. To date,
approximately eighty per cent. oY the
total acreage is controlled by this
group.
• While the crop will show a de-
crease volume as compared with that
of last year, growers report a satis-
factory growth and a promise of ex-
cellent quality. With a sales organ-
ization to handle district to truckers,
as well as to outside markets, grow-
ers are optimistic as to the future
of their Co-operative. It will be re-
called that, during the last two years,
returns to growers were most ,unsat-
isfactory, due to competition amongst
growers, and a lack of some elderly
method, of marketing.
International Plowing Match
The International Plowing Match,
staged in Derby Township, Grey
County near the City of Owen Sound
was successful from every standpoint
according to the Managing -Director,
J. Lockie Wilson. Thousands of in-"
terested spectators attended from all
parts of the Province. Five hundred
and five contestants entered the var-
ious classes. The Inter -County' com-
petition attracted special attention,
Halton County carrying off the Farm
Trophy for the team prize. The ma-
jority, of important manufacturers'
of farm implements demonstrated
modern equipment. The horse show
open to plow teams was eery keen,
and thirty-five teams turned out for
twenty-four cash awards.
The Local Committee and Citizens
of surrounding counties stood behind
the Ontario Plowmen's Association
and this proved a big factor in mak-
ing the 1933 International Plowing
Match the beet in the history of the
organization. ID
Weekly Crop Report
Yield of potatoes in Peel County
is reported about 50 to 60 per cent.
of normal year. with prices at farms-
rlanning from 65c to 95c per bag. One
farmer in Huron County reports
buckwheat yielding 20 to 30 bushels
per acre on a 40 -acre tract. The veg-
etable supply in •Brant, as -well as
in numerous other counties, is low.
Many corn cribs in Lambton have
from 500- to 1,500 •bushels of corn
this fall, the first in six to ten years.
The new cold storage plant at For-
est will not meet the storage re-
quirements of members of the Apple
Growers' Association. Incidentally
one of the largest apple, crops in On-
tario's history is being harvested.
The hog population in 'Glengarry is
down about 50 per cent. Dealers are
offering 44 cents a bushel for 'buck-
wheat in that county. Roots have
made excellent growth throughout
the fall season in Lennox and Ad-
dington. Livestock in Terniskaming
will go into winter quarters in good
condition as a result of the improve-
ment in pastures during the past
month. The same holds true in the
Thunder Bay area.
Horseshoe Pitching Contests
The annual horseshoe pitching
championships for the Canadian titles
will he held at the Royal Winter F it
on the last four days of the Farr,
November 27th to 30•thl inclueivel,
Championships are open in singles
and doubles. Four prizes are offered
in each sub -division, making 24 cash
prizes in all. By a series of elimina-
tion, players will be stepped accord-
ing to their score into •Classes A, B
and C in singles and doubles.* Class
B will be open to non -prize winners
in Class A, Class C to those not suc-
cessful in either A or B.
Saving Steps
When working around the kitchen,
a hand towel is required many times.
Try fastening a loop to the corner
of a small towel, and sewing a but-
ton to the apron band. 'Button the
todrel on to the hand, then a number
of steps will be saved each time one
wishes to dry one's hands. Or, in-
stead of the button, the apron band
may be run through the loop on the
towel before it is fastened at the
back.
• Useful 'Rubber Mats -
Statistics show an alarming num-
ber of accidents take place in the
home, and a large percentage of these
accidents take place in the bathroom
—in the tub, too, -because of slip-
ping. To prevent this, a rubber neat
witha fabric surface has been made.
This same type of mat is made to
put on the drain hoard„ of the sink.
Here it is a practical surface on
which, to place the dishes.
Dignity And Charm
Of Gray Hair
Who says gray hair isn't desir-
able? If you say so you just don't
know your style and .beauty stuff;
you just automatically •brand your-
self as not being up to the minute.
A bit of the most importants
nen:, (from a style point of view)
emerging from a recent important
hairdressers' convention was to the
effect that gray hair is now held a
style asset rather than a liability—
and a distinguished one at that.
"Gray- hair," in the words of Max
Hoefer, a prominent hairdresser,
"lends dignity and charm. It is not
a handicap to the woman in public
life or in the 'business world.",.
'He cites' many distinguished wo-
men, holding responsible positions in
the world of business and societ-,
whose'-"'iTv"ery white or prematurely
gray hair has added to. rather than
detracted from their individual at-
tractiveness.
Hollywood Chatter
/Vs a long time since Hollywood
had such a gay end vivid party as
the Bowery Part'w given by Mr. and
Mrs. Darryl Zanuk and Mr. and Mrs.
Williseri Goetz. The two hostesses,

swinging doors of a Bowery saloon,
Mrs. Zanuk garbed as a dance hall
girl. in pink satin with a huge Flora-
dora pink bonnet and an ostrich trim-

.A huge bar, replica of the Chuck

But this bar, besides the illustration
of a harp which was painted on the
mirror with soap had an illustration,
never seen in the nineties'—an eagle
accompanied by the words "NRA,"
The hearty food and good cheer flow-

Shipping Racers
Equipoise, whose iron-thewed legs
have made himi the champion thor-
oughbred on- the American turf,
stands up all the way in his private
car when he goes on a thousand -mile
railroad journey. Exterminator,
great cup horse of the post-war years
and most blase traveller in racing's
history, used to lie down.
Before the end of the present rac-
ing season Equipoise will go on more
train trips, since the aim is -to make
hini the greatest money -winning
thoroughrbred in the world.
Equipoise had the whole midsection
of his special car when he travelled.
Other occupants of the car were three
.men and two ponies. The ponies were.

When Exterminator was shipped
west for the Kentucky Denby of 1918
there was some misgiving. How
would he ship? Would he' hold his
speed? Could he meet the threat. of
the western horses on the ground?
And so on. Exterminator walked in-
to the car, stared at the bed of straw
whieh had 'been laid for him, cat -

could leave Saratoga at the last min-

(Why were they successful? Be-
cause they were cheerful when it was
dif stilt to be cheerful! and patient

were agreeable when they wanted to

was easy.
KNEES WOULD LET
HER DOWN
Rheumatism For 12 Years
Here is a letter that goes to prove
that even rheumatism of long stand-
ing can be relieved by the right treat -
"I have been a- sufferer from
rheumatism for some 12 to 14 years
now and have foolishly taken no steps
to relieve it. My particular form of
rheumatism seemed to take the use
out Of my hands and knees. The
latter would suddenly give way and
let me down unless a chair or table
were handy. All at once, I determin-
ed to give Kruschen 'Salts a trial—a
bona fide trial—and now I feel a re=
created being. I can scarcely believe
that so short a time ago I was hob-
bling along with a stick."—(Mrs.)
M. L. P.
'Kruschen is effective a.gaint rheu-
matism 'because its six salts stimulate
the liver and kidneys to regular ac-
tioIr. When these organs are . work-
ing efficiently, they rid the body of
excess uric acid. And when uric acid
goes, those -aches and pains go, too.
Many Different Ideas •
Of Wealth
A large part of the misunderstand-
ing which divides nations is without
doubt due to the different ideas they
have concerning the basis of wealth
and their conception of thrift and
property. 'The French waiter, Andre
'Siegfried, in the New York Herald
Tribune seeks to explain these differ-
ences:
For the average Frenchman wealth
is a tangible thing that has- •assumed
a finished form and therefore is stat-
ic; for example, in his mind it,means
land, a house, pieces of gold or even
'banknotes;' it means also a belief in
credit with faith in legal processes
( mortgages, pensions, industrial
bonds, etc.). Itis easy to race these
ideas as an inheritance of the Rom-
an law.
.But for the Englishman or the
German it is an entirely different
matter; he looks upon wealth more as
a means of production, as a• thing in
the process of becoming, as an event-
uality. In contrast with the French
idea, this conception is dynamic. In
the light of this conception of wealth
their minds turn only too naturally
toward investments in manufactur-
ing and merchandising. Instead of
industrial bonds, which are but a form
of credit, they are likely to bu
stocks, an elastic form of co -:owner
ship.
In France before the war the
wealth of the twiddle -class bourgeois
seldom consisted of anything besides
bonds or revenue from rented prop-
erty';, and hardly ever did he invest in
stocks. He prefers the security of
the bond, which does not enriph you
but which he !believes will at least
not ruin you.
I he Germans and the English in-
vee.t heavily in stocks. This demon-
strates the fundamental difference
between people who distrust and peo
ple who are willing to take risks.
The idea of saving is the next
thought that comes to mind as a
corollary of what we have said a-
bove. Wealth, as conceived by . a
Frenchman, accumulates: it can be
kept, can pile up. It isn't true that
the French are misers; We believe in
the sort of prudence that prepares
for the rainy day—it is much more
fear than love of the .lucre itself.
For years people have looked us
-al frivolous joy riders, .yet we are
less sb often than the Anglo-Saxons
or the .Germans. The English scorn
our peasant class on account of their
pritmitive lethods of work; and the
German seems to pity us for our
frugal life. The truth is that u4' are
wise, if not as citizens, at least as
individuals— er we know full well
that in a country no longer young
capital cannot reconstitute itself.
We now come to the (basic .:oncep-
tion of property. with lis, property
confers rights but does not entail any
duties. And here we seem to re-
main.
The Englishman, quite near to feu-
dal influence, 'believes that in Eng-
land the possession of land entails
certain duties as well • as it confers
certain rights. When he is a "gen-
tleman"he does not consider that his
time or his money or his land or his
life really 'belongs to himself. The
way in which he respects this tradi-
tional conception' of land ownership
speaks well for his forbearance, and
he seldom shirks what he considers
his obligations.
As to the Russians, 'before the
Soviet regime it was not without a
certain remorse that they ever p'as-
y
seised land. "Perr a western ArroP,mai" wrote the Russian Berdiaeff,
"property is sacred, and he would
not allow himself to be deprived of it
without vigorously defending himself,
R one tried to make a chart o:f the
peorde who save you would find them
grouped curiously: France principal-
ly the central plateau, the west aid
the south; in Italy, Piedmont and
Liguria; in 'Stain 'Catalonia and the
Basque country, the Asturias and
Galacia, as well as the north of Port-
ugal. 1't seems to be a question of
the temperate zone with people most-
ly Celtic: is this the explanation?
But one leaves this thrifty zone fn
the north by going into the Nordic
countries and in the south by enter-
ing into Arab countries or those of
the Spanish who have been subject-
ed to their influence.
Perhaps the fundamental aklivision
of Europe in this respect,,can he at,
tributed to the Roman domination
there. Where the Romans have rul-
ed there prevails a very definite con-
ception of property and of the indi-
vidual.
From feudalism to socialism the
passage is relatively easy; it is the
idea of property held by the peasant
and the middle class man that re --
mains individualistic in a way that
will probably never change.
A Head Ready For a Crown
As if Austria were not having en-
ough trouble's at the moment, a
young Austrian living in Belgium has
'intensified the situation lee saying
that he would like to live in his own
country for a change.
Ordinarily, the procedure would be
simple in the extreme. He would
simply buy a ticket, jump oh a train
and be home in record time. Unfor-
tunately, this, young gentleman hap-
pens to be Archduke Otto, son of the
late Ciharleisi, emperor of Austrriae
Hungary. His homeland is now a
democracy and that "no admission"
sign is up for anyone who aspires to
set up a monarchy. Otto is almost
twenty-one. On his father's death in
1922 he (became head of the famous
Hapsburg line of princes and is now
pretender to the nen-existent thrones
of Austria and Hungary.
!Musical comedies have given us
some marvellous prince. 'charmings,
but Otto n ierely dons one of his fus-
sier uniforms and outdoes the best of
them. From the 'shining- toes of his
riding boots to his jaunty 'plumed eap
he is a prince. -
!His mother, the Empress Zita, has
constantly urged upon him the ne-
cessity for his gaining the lost king-
ship, and recently he accepted hon-
orary citizenship in three Austrian
towns whose burgomasters proffered
it.
(Otto has received the heartiest
blessings from the Roman Catholic
church in his effort to stage a .eome-
bbark. This precludes .a very warm
feeling for the Nazis and more or
less aligns him with Chancellor Doll -
fuss. Due to this linking. the young
Archduke hdpes that the Dollfus gov-
ernment will repeal the anti Haps-
burg laws. In that• event, he would
be able to return to Austria and
come a step nearer to his goal.

Hollywood camera mien have be-

sown of the reasons are these:
The camera Man i.s+r�the basic unit
in film •production; Without him the
genius of directors, writers and stars
would be lost. !He is master of the
fundamental element in production --
the slightly more than a mile of filmy
which reaches the theatres as a
completed picture.
He can make or break any motion
picture player—and that isn't saying
too much or too little of him. Many
a star realizes how essential is an un-
derstanding and knowing 'camera
man in the continuance of her career.
Mary Pickford Janet Gaynor, Norma
Talmadge', Garbo, Ntorini(an Shearer
and a host of other screen players
have had their chief cinem'atograph-
-ers for a .cpnsiderable period. The
reason is obvious. A long associa-
tion of star and cinematographer per-
mits the latterto know fully the
physical peculirities of a player.
rrhese peculiarities may be •slights,
a hundredth of an inch droop of the
eyelids on one side, yet the sensitive
camera exaggerates this; or it may
be a slight deviation in the moulding
of the sides -ef the faces; A.colorless
eyes, that photograph too limpid and
watery for proper' ei `e'et; retreating
foreheads, sunken eyes, scars — any
number ef minor defects that migrlrt
hamper the career of the player but
for sympathetic handling by the mas-
ter of lights and shadows. •
The camera man who is associated
with a star for long knows 'how to
surmount these defts. Like a por-
trait painter who wishes to remain
in good standing with his sitter, he
ennlphesizes the good points and gloss-
es( over the weak. !He avoids the
menace of the dro'opin'g eyelids by
flooding the face with soft lights, so
that no shadows are cast, and by or-
dering the •make-up experts • to con-
tour the eyelids by ,means of light
and lark cosmetics.
The difference in facial sides never

Amos 'n' Andy's
Own Announcer
Here they are . . "
That familiar voice with the Scotch
burr presenting Amos 'n' Andy, is as
weir known to millions of listeners as
the voices of the dusky characters
themselves r And well it might be,
for Bill Hay has been identified with
Amos 're Andy as their • announcer as
long as there hat been an Amos 'n'
Andy. He has been announcing Cor-
rell and 'Golden, creators and port-
rayers of the characters even before
that, far he also officiated at the mic-
rophone for them, introducing Sam
and Henry, predecessors- of Amos '111'
Andy.
Hay's association with Correll and.
Gosden began with the creation of
their first black -face act, the afore-
mentioned Sam and Henry, in Chica-
go. IHIe announced their first pro-
gram, and the "Here they are" was
an involuntawiy bit brought albout be-
cause the boys had him laughing so
hard before they ever took the air,
that he was 'short of breath and
couldn't gasp anything else. The
broadcast went well, and the -thrash
stuck.
No matter where the boys are, Hap
introduces them on the air for their
program, even though they may
speak from New York and he from
Chicago.
Bill has a brother in Toronto, an
executive with. one of the large de-
partment stores.
