Mr. Scott's remarks were very suitable to the occasion, being along Co -Operative fines, and pertaining to the present and future difficulties of the farmer hi ;elation to markets in the post-war period. "There will be no such thing as individual buying, or corporation buying after this war," the speaker declared, "Nation. will buy from Nation, and if Canada is to. se- cure her share of world markets, our government most he prepared to adopt this system, and the farmers of the ration must be prepared to back their up. \Ve :most sec to it that we provide the British market with the type of high-class product she desires.

Butylene glycol can be broken down chemically into several other useful substances, and re- search into these po: ibilites now is going on. The plant producers 10 pounds of butylene glyco and six pounds of ethyl alcohol from a bushel of wheat. At one stage of the work the investigators dug into a garden while a temperature of 30 degrees below zero prevailed to find a bacillus capable of fermenting wheat rapidly and directly. They developed a strain called Aerobacillus polytnyxa which cut the fermentation period from 10 days to three days, A noteworthy feature of the ex- traction process is that off -grade or damaged \''!)cat can be used, and such varieties often contain more starch and hence are more desirable than premium grades. Photo Taken In Millioneth Of Second Officials of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Com- pany, Baltimore, have disclosed the development of an X-ray machine, which takes a picture in one mil- lionth of a second, The high-speed picture -taking machine was made in answer to a request from military ordnance engineers for a way to take pic- tures of all artillery shell as it passed through the muzzle of the gun and as it pierced a plate of artnor, company spokesmen re- ported. •SET MS rw H CANADA'S'LARGEST SELLING COUGH; AND, COLD REMEDY Socialists Would Kill Incentive Socialists sneer at the man with initiative; hold in contempt the nt;ut who \rants to build a busi- ness, make things, provide jobs, says the hinancial Post. According to their plans, the job staking is to be done by the politicians and the civil servants, with all of us the pawns in their gauze. The author and lecturer, Dr, Donald Laird, gives a very apt illustration to this. The trout is a fighting fish \vitt lots of initiative. Bttt scientists easily found a way to take it all out of hint. They put a glass parti- tion in Itis \vater tank; the trout in one end, it minnow in the other. The trout flashed toward the minnow', crashed his nose on the glass. Again and again, he tried: again and again, got a crack on the nose. He watched the minnow carefully; for that day gave up the struggle. Next day, he was again hurling himself after the minnow, pound- ing his snout .on the glass. But he gave up sooner. The third day, he tried again, gave ftp sooner. A few more days, the partition was removed, But the trout's initi- ative was gone, IIc stays(, in his own end of the tank. The minnow was completely safe. There's a moral for those people v.'ho think we can safely try "just a little bit of socialism"; then change otir political diet if it fails tc. produce the promised ntilleniunt, The maker of jobs who gets a sock on the ja\v from lawmakers and officials every time he shotes drive and initiative and fighting spirit soon learns to stop hying.

Pant was flushed; her lip trem- bled a little but she forced a smile. i11'nn going to. nniet her now — I was on my way when—" she did not speak the name, "Byrom," again, it seemed unlucky — "I've got to go now!" She turned to Mark. "Couldn't someone call inc a taxi:" she asked hurriedly; "I'm conscience-stricken when I think of Aunt Lynn waiting!"

"Hang him!" Mark thought vio- lently; "it's like giving up — but he can have his chance. She's got to know; I've been a sneak!" Hie sheer rage at Fosdick did not blind hint to own iniquity. Traffic vas congested outside, and the doorman took quite a while to suuinton a taxi, It seemed in- terminable to Mark, wondering how bad Fosdick was making it. "If 1'd told myself!" 4ie fumed. "Well, I deserve it — it was a black thing to dol" "Here it is, sir, one of the new rate ones, tool" * * * Mark swung through the revolv- ing doors of the vestibule and made his way toward the alcove. Fos- dick's back was still there, turned his way, and Pates was opposite, a little flushed, a little i11 at case, he could see that, He felt a sickening dread of the enlightened look she might give him, but, as he caste up, she smiled, relief in her eyes. "The taxi?" she asked quickly. "It's waiting for you." Mark wanted to tap Fosdick on the shoulder and force him to turn, but the old lawyer managed, cleverly, to shake hands with Pam without apparently seeing hint at all, He was treating the young man like an offensive cockroach, to be ignored when it could not be conveniently crushed. The red was staining Mark's check as he walked down the roost with Pant, They did not speak, ta- bles were filled up, and, once or twice they had to pass single file between them, but he thought she knew; he could feel a change in her, Outside the door he stopped her. The street was crowded but they were alone together for all that, "I've got something to say to you," he said hoarsely; "I suppose you know it?" She looked up at that, her eyes gravely perplexed. She shook her head. "Didn't Fosdick tell you?" "No l" They looked at each other. Bit- terness and shame and blind rage at the old lawyer seemed suddenly swept clean away; Mark only knew that he loved Paml "0f course you saw that some- thing was—wrong?" She gave hm a sweet, frank look, putting out her hand, "I thought he was—horrid!" she cried warm- ly. He held her hand close a moment and kept it to help her into the taxi. He could not tell her there— in the street! She smiled at him from the cav- ernous depths of the checkered black and yellow monster. "You're coating to see me?

THE BRIDE WORE COTTON I-Iere comes the bride. — dressed in eyelet -embroidered cotton with organdy aleeves which proves once again that cotton isn't used solely for frocks and aprons to wear about the house, Alfandri of Montreal designed this number, SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON JESUS' CONCERN FOR ALL February 4 Matthew 9:1, 9-15, 18-26 Golden Text. — Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to theta, for this in the law and the prophets.—Matthew 7:12 The most concise account of our Lord's life consists of one sen- tence only; "He went about doing good and healing", Previous to our lesson we find the people prayed that Jesus would depart out of their amidst, Jesus dose not retrain where he is not wanted, and he en- tered into a ship and came to his own city, Jesus passed Matthew, who was busy in the employ of the Roman government collecting taxes. Only two words were spoken "Follow me" and without hesitation Matt- hew left all to follow Jesus. Let us not be too busy with earthly pursuits to hear the call "Take up thy cross and follow me". Luke tells us Matthew "made him a great feast in his house". Matthew celebrated this memorable occasion by inviting all his friends to conte and get acquainted with- the Lord Jesus. Is it not a challenge to us to tell friends of the Saviour? * * * The Pharisees wlio were con- stantly watching Jesus asked his disciples why their Master should tat with sinners, For anyone to talk or sit with sinners who practiced the laws of, purification, was an act of defilement. Jesus put tlicnt to silence with the words "They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick", But there are many who consider tlicnnselves whole as the pharisees did, and know not that they are "wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked", "Go ye and learn" was a rebuke to those who prided themselves in their education and knowledge of the scriptures. Jesus refers them to IIos. 6:6, where the prophet taught that God loved mercy more than sacrifice, Jesus goes on to state his purpose "Not to call the righteous, but sinners to repen- lance". Of ,ourse this included , as "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." * * * The Pharisees had comae to criti- cize, but this ruler carte for help and to worship Jesus. He recog- nized the fact that even though the child Wright be dead, a touch of the Master's hand was sufficient to re- store her, On His way to where the child lay a woman of similar faith who had been suffering for many years touched the hem of his g u ment and was instantly healed. Arriving at the home of the ruler, they found that the girl had been pronounced dead, and many friends had gathered. \Vhen Jesus mentioned that she only slcepeth, they ridiculed him. God cannot work in an atmosphere. of scorn, and not until they were put out did Jesus restore the child to life. Needless to say the news of this wond:'-1o1 toitacie spread through- out the land, t. Outstandingly Good CIIHONICLES By Gwendollne P. Clarke of GINII FARM • Last Saturday was such a lovely day—a day that was good to be out in—so 1 announced my inten- tion of walking to town. Partner laughed "You won't walk very far," he said. "Why not?" I in- quired. "Well, have you forgotten there's a political convention in town today? There will be cars by the dozen on the road!" Sure enough I had hardly left our own gate when I was offered a ride. And I don't mind telling you I was glad to accept it because I was carrying five dozen eggs and already they were much heavier than when I left home. I didn't know my Samaritan driver at all — and I didn't inquire whet- her lie was Liberal or Tory — it was enough for me that he was a gentleman and with a young boy along to satisfy the proprieties. * * * \\'e got to town, and my good- ness, you wouldn't think there were any bad roads in the country, that is, judging by the number of cars on the street. They were parked from one end of town to the other. But I had little time to waste so I hurrieid along, did any shopping, had a cup of tea with a friend and was then ready for home. Just as I got back to Main Street, party satellites were coming away from the Town Hall. I went into one of the stores to pick up a few parcels and what a kick I got out of watching the passers-by from my hide-out! * * * Now I wouldn't go so far as to say I could tell which of the people I saw were Conservatives, The Bookshelf... The Master Of. The Mill Frederick Philip Grove The brilliant Canadian author of Our Daily Bread has built an ex- tremely skilful novel around the widely differing careers and char- acters of three generations of mill - owners whose fortunes grew swiftly with the growth of Canada. There is the mean and ruthless founder of the mill around whose grain elevators the town becomes a teeming city; his son who be- comes a senator and whose engin- eering genius the old man uses without a nod of thanks; and his grandson, Sir Edmund, third mast- er of the hill, reared in luxury, who wields, the immense power of the still with his grandfather's real- istic unscrupulousness, stir. Grove uses with telling case the recollec- tions of the aging senator, of Sir Edmund's wife, and of an outsider to give a full, rounded picture built up in much the sante way as is a story that one hears by word of mouth about an intriguing situation, many sided, which the people who lived or watched it never tire of discussing.

QUICKLY, PLEASANTLY WITH COUGH SYRUP AT ALL DRUGGISTS 25e LD -1 • * • • Liberals, or C,C.F.'s. But I can assure you it was very obvious which were Conservatives and which were not. It was downright comical. Any other Saturday you would see farmers in groups talk- ing as freely and easily as you please. But not this Saturday. There were groups of men talking —yes—but they were all in their "good' clothes and looking very pleased with themselves, and ob- viously all of one party. Presently a man in overalls would conte along, give the group he was pas- sing a furtive glance, accompanied by an almost imperceptible non, I-Iis nod would be returned by one equally perfunctory' accompanied by a glance at once self-consciotts and condescending. It was as gond as a play to watch — and the players so unconscious of it all * * * Then began the trek out of town —but I noticed it was only the rttP1 in overalls who appeared to be it: any hurry. The hien who ware "dressed" were apparently loath to leave their buddies, The real climax of this little story will conte on \1onday night when another party convention is being held — and I haven't a doubt the furtive glances and the condescension trill then he in re- verse. Of course it wasn't long before I had to think about getting a ride home. But with w•honi? 1 really wasn't particular. Far be it from nuc to criticise or dislike any person out account of his party or creed. I think there is enough roost In the world 1 .:i ll of us. How- ever just as IwTts'considering tak- ing my chance on the open road; I saw a well-known team conning along, box sleigh attached. It w•as our neighbour and a ride home in the open air suited me ju-t fine. Cheese was made in some form or other before the Christian era by Jews, Greeks and Romans.
