But as soon .as I got used to each kind, I began -to get the same trouble. "Last summer'I was on my vaca- -tion. They served Kellogg's Au-. BRAN. I just loved it. I eat Kel- logg's ALL -BRAN'' every morning, . and ever since I have not had to take any more laxatives."—Miss Margaret Kesterke. Address on '-request. *Due to insufficient "bulk" in • vocals. Tests show Kellogg's ALL -Been provides "bulk" to aid elimination. ALL -BRAN is also rich in vitamin B ,,and iron. The "bulk" in ALL -BRAN is gen- tle. It resists digestion better than the fiber in fruits and vegetables, so it is often more effective. ' Isn't this food safer than risking patent medicines? Two tablespoon- fuls of ALL -BRAN daily are usually euflicient. If seriously copstipated, use with each meal.' See your doc- tor, if you do opt get relief. Use as a cereal, or in cooking. old by all grocers. Made by Kel- logg in London, Ontario. Keep On the Sunny Side of Life of mine. They come from a fascin- ating monthly magazine called "World Canvention Dates." There is no assurance, of course. that all of those bound for convene bions will arrive. Hundreds' are ex- pected to. attend the jolly gatherings of the American Pythopa'thological Society, 'the American Clinical and Climatological Association; and the American Academy of Opthalmol:ogy' and Otolaryngology, and it seems likely to me that any number of those will drop out with syllable trouble. There is also reported a secret or- ganization of Cleveland headline writers to prevent the meeting in that city of the Oesteopathic, Ophthal- mological, Rh.i'nallagical and T.sryn- gological Society. Curled up 'before the fire with a copy of "World Convention Dates," you can learn some amazing things about this country. For -one thing, you learn 'that it is overrun with ma- gicions. In the East alone, the State Conclave of 'Magicians, 300 of them, will meet in New Yark. the Society of American Magicians is meeting in Washington, and 250 New England M'agician's are to convene ie. Rhode Island. eYou probably know of the Elks, Owls, Eagles, 'Lions, Moose, and per- haps the 'Blue Goose (or Geese). But did you know there ' were • • Golden Eagles, Lizsrds, Serpents, Orioles, Vial—cleats? Go to Sacramento in Sep- tember and you will7isee 500 Royal Snapping Turtles in convention. • Then consider the guess -what di- vision. The National Society of Den- ture Prosthetists is meeting in New Orleans—and who would 'expect 'to find falsie-tree'th makers behind that battery of syllables? And the Mas - tem Chirotonsors foregather in Cali- fornia. If those aren't barbers, then they are people who sit around with their heads in their hands. and there ought to be more than - 150 of them nowadays. If you really like to speculate en what's in a name, consider these: The High Twelve Inteernational, the Super Mind Science .Church, the Ori- ental Order of Humility and Per- fection of the United States a n d Canada, the Loyal Americans of the United 'States, the Inner Eyre Socie- ty, the Order ,of True Kindred, the National Sojourners, `and the Saints and Sinners Club of America. The most valuable thing you learn from "World Convention Dates," howeeer, is that a fellow need never be lonely in this great country so long as he has the makings of a dele- gate in him. And 'practically every- one has. There is no p6ssible inter- est in life that hasn't an organiza- tion to sustain it. You might think, for instance. that 'enjoyment of a circus is a casual, spontaneous thing, to be, taken lightly and forgotten. But did you know that there are peo- ple who keep themselves worked up over circuses the year round? Th e Circus Fans Association of America will meet this 'y'ear in .gineinnati. Perhaps you have a hobby. Let's say it is puzzles. WleIl, the Nation- al Puzzlers League meets in' New York, along with the Am•e'ncan Ping Pang Association and the Interna- tional Lawn 'Bowl'ers. If :you like to yodel, the United Swiss Singers of America, 400 strong, are meeting in Missouri. Pedple who play harps are gathering in Georgia; 3,000 'are due to attend a fiddlers' convention in Texas, and the American Guild of Banjoists, . Mandoldnistts and Guitar- ists is meeting in Lawrence, Mass. Checker pi'arers are to gather in Tex- as, shutiiebloard players in Florida and nkat players' in :M1ihnesota. 'Sttu- dents of stained g]ass meet in Bos- ton, men who race pigeons in Detroit, the Esperanto Association of North America in Washington. • There are more than 5,000' frater- nal gatherings. But to get the superlative satisfaction from regalia, a seereb grip and a ,password, you should be collared. Consider for ex- ample, 'the lineal-naJtional Order of Twelve Knights and Daughters of Tabor, or the United Brothers of Friendship andSisters of the Mys- terious Ten. However, it is the practical -mind- ed men, the builders of America, who probably get the most out of the co- ordinated effort, the exchange of id- eas' and the inspiring contracts of a convention. You. a layman, might think that building a wooden box is a simple matter. But you are in no posi'tio'n to appreciate the constant progress being made in box architec- ture or to understand w'hy, when man builds a better box that his fel- lows, the entire Ass'o`ciation of East- ern Shook and 'Wood Box Manufac- loW TO If• you 'want te'know about tib* s;braaig& • e ci you are alWaYie Maeil lag in hotel lobbies. --+the tines we ing ,badges and''half-!expectant, lam: frustrated: loolesi-aa am now insar 'poiailliicrn. to eeplon. ,A+pelfaxi ately!

Why, Pll bet you don't even know what a shook is. The problems that confront the National atstsooiation of Egg Carse and Egg -Case Ftil'ler Manufacturers, 'the Pickle Packers Assoev'atdon, the Association of County Drain Com- misision'ers, or the International Bee- keepers Congress might, offhand, seem ;trivial to you. But did you ev- er pack) a -pickle or fill an egg case? Did you eves' d ain a county Did you ever keep a •ybee? , So far, we have only looked at the single-minded conventions. Now let's take the super-eonvent'ion, made up of meetings within meetings. There you have something! All the horse people, fu- example, , will gather 'in Chicago' in December and, once. they 'h -aye gathered, split up into the American Shetland Pony Club, Welsh Pony and Cob :Society, Percheron So- ciety of America, American Shire :Horse Asstociation, American Suffolk Howse A'ssociati'on, • Horse and Mule A's's'ocia'tion, and the American As- sociation of Importers and Breeders of Belgian Draft Horses. • There a1'e a fascinating lot of mis- cellaneous donv'entions. The Nation- al Anti-Hlorsethjef Association is meeting in Oklah'om'a, the Master Shoe Rebuilders in Te'xa's, the Na- tional Association: of Greenkeepers in Toronto. the Tin Can Tourists of the World in .Florida, the American Milk Goat Record Association in Chicago, the New Jersey Mosquito Extermina- tion Asseciatioa in Atlantic -City, the .American Society for the Advance- ment of Atheism in New York, the Descendants of the Sig -hers of the Declaration of Independence (75 of them) in Philadelphia and, in Mil- waukee, the Conference for the Pro- motion of Apprentice and Journey- manshi•p Education .in the Plumbing Trades. While the Mutual Tornado, Cyclone and Windstorm Association (if "World Convention Dates" isn't trying to me one look silly) meets in Ohio along with the North Ameri- can Manx Association. Perhaps by some incredible circum- stance you are not eligible for mem- bership in any of these organizations. There remains one kind of conven- tion anyone can attend: the family a.ssooiati'ons. There are more than 300, such as thee Society -'of the Des- cendants of. Henry Wolcott, which meets this year in Cleveland. Leads in Horticulture the lead'ers'hip given by the On- tario Horticultural Association was appreciated last year when many let- ters were received from all Provinces in Canada, except British Columbia, and from several parts of 'the United States, on the pract'i'cal talks broad- cast on the Canadian Radio Commis- sion chain. 'In response to a d-emanfor simi- lar service this year, the Ontario As- sociabibn by kind co-operation of the Radio Commission commenced a ser- ies of talks on Saturday, May 4th. d 200,000 Farm Schedules Are Being Distiributed (During the -week commencing 'May 27th, 200,000 Farm Schedules will be 'distributed by the rural school teach- ers to the farmers in 'Ontario. The Schedules are for the purpose of com- piling agricultural statistics and, the work is 'being carried on jointly by the Ontario Department of Eduoa= tion, the Ontario Department of Ag- riculture and the- Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Every effort is being put forth to have each farmer in the Province fill in a Survey Card giving the information for his farm. Pub- lication of timely crop and live stock statistics is one of the most impor- tant duties imposed upon the Govern- ment and is performed primarily in the in'teres'ts of the farming com- munity. The important facts ascertained from this Survey are the acreages isiown to principal field crops in 1935, the numbers of liveestack and .poul- try on hand at Jtin'e let, and the num- bers intended for marketing in the next six month's. This data is used as a basis for practically the entire body of agricultural statistics in Ontario. Farmers are requested to com'plete the eardfs promptly and return to their local school teacher who will then• forward them to the Ontario Department of Agriculture. The cards are tabulated. and the estimates pre- pared as speecli]y as possible and re- leased to newspapers and radio sta- tions so that every one may be ad- vised of changes in crop acreages or Iive stock pro'pulation at the . same time. The results are also- ,publislhed in the 'Monti 1y Crap Report of the 'Ontario Department of Agriculture, which is mailed free to any individual who requests to- be placed on the mailing list. a-. The cartlls are treated as absolute- ly cdnfidentiai and used -only in the !Statistics Branch for' the 'Purpose of co'mtpiling s'tatis$tical information- . by' County diiviisions, The intflormabion On individual cards is never divulgied to any one.

Campbell's Chevrolet car which was stolen from the driveway along side of his home- on Victoria Street Tuesday evening about 10 o'clock. Mr. Campbell went to put the ear into the garage about 10.15 only to find it missing. Mrs. Campbell had seen lit in the dr+iviervaay abea tly before 10 o'clock. The police were notified at once and instituted a thorough arch of the district but at the time of going to press have failed to lo- cate it.

Was Intoxicated !During the early hours . Sunday morning last, consternation reigned for a short time in Exeter when it was believed, that a man had, either been killed or had died on Huron St.. a short distance west of Exeter. A motorist came: upon the !body of a man lying across the road and on ex- amination it was believed that life was extinct. The .lights of the car were left focused upon the •body and a telephone call sent tri to Coroner Dr. Weekes. In the meantime' a sec- ond motorist arrived and finding the bodyreturned. to Exeter and notified Traffic, Officer Robinson.'It was later learned that the man was intoxicat- ed. He was taken to Exeter and locked up for several hours, and it was found the young man was a farm hand in Stephen Township. — Zurich Herald. Lady Golfers Organize The eleventh annual meeting of the ladies of Maitland Golf Club was held in the club house on Saturday last. There was an excellent turn- out of members and much enthusi- asm was displayed in prospect of the year's activities. The following of- ficers were.; elected: Honorary presi- dent, Mrs. George Williams; presi- dent, Mrs. C. A. Reid; 1st 'vice-presi- dent, Mrs. Gallow; 2nd vice-president, Mrs. H. Williams; secretary -treasur- er. Miss B. Hunter. 'Various commit- tees were formed for the year: The golf committee, Mrs. J. H. Taylor being appointed captain; a social com- mittee of which Mrs. D. Mooney is convenor; tennis committee, with Miss Margaret 'Watson as captain, and house committee, with Ma -s. Coulthurst as convenor. All conven- ors were given capable assistan•ts.— Goderich Signal: A Bad Gypsy Gang The spring season has again brought on the influx of gypsy gangs with all their - evil and dishonest tricks to take money away from the people, and just how they do it, no one but themselves know. William 31ack, a farmer of Stanley Township, missed $38 in 'bills from his purse one day last week after three gyp- sies, two of whom were women, had departed. Slack told the police, in some mysterious manner, he said, this purse had been taken from a hip pocket. relieved of the money it contained and returned to the same pocket unknown to him. Provincial slice scoured the countryside for the gypsy band, several ears of them, but without results. A general alarm has been sent in all directions?. for it is believed it is the same band which has relieved several other Western Ontario farmers of their wallets.— Zurich Herald. notify the Agricultural Branch, Do- minion, Bureau of Statistics, Ottawa, and a card will be nailed to im.

Agricultural Attractions The Directors of the Ontario Ase eoeiation of Agtieultural !Societies, at a meeting a few days age. discuss- ed a't lenth attractions for fall fairs. It was agreed judging should be arranged to afford educatirinal oppor- tutnities and be as attractive as pos- 'able. Suitable rings sh'julci be pro- vided for all live stick and the names of winners should appear on hall ex- hibits. Inter -community conn titions were recommended, such as Special prizes for Women's Institute displays.
