One outstanding result of the first year's, operation of the new standards in the grading and marketing of dressed pouhry is the popularity which the Government inspection has won with the trade. Deal ers now prefer to buy by certifioate and in a number of cases carlots arriving en the market without government inspec- tion have been "passed up" in favor of shipments which have this feature. So thoroughly has the new system of grading dressed poultry been carried out that the confidence of the trade has been secured, The dealer knows that when he is buying a box of government inspected birds he is getting exactly the quality stencilled on the box.

The play "The End of The Lane" pre- sented in Memorial Hall on Saturday night by the Naomi Players of Brigden, under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid of St, Andrew's United Church. was except- ionally well put on. The players each, in turn, exemplified the character they were allotted to portray without the least hitch and the performance was carried through with credit, showing that by u ,stinted practise and the adaptability of the per - sone{ of the play to characterize the var- ious parts. the presentation was one of the best that citizens have been privileg- ed to see in many months. The fact that two of the major parts of the play were taken by former residents of Blyth --Mrs. Carrie McDonald and Mrs. Lillian Sin- clair, lent particular interest to the pro- gram. The Ladies' Aid have every rea- s in to feel satisfied with their judgment in affording residents of the community this opportunity of seeing something real. ly good. ♦,w.uwa.,..„...nwu...n...,.w, ♦ wr.uwu.e.uw,,...n..w,..., a 1 DR.

Britain is repaying its war debts to Am- erica at the rate of $165,000.000 a year, rising in two year's time to $190,000 000 per annum. America the Cronus of the modern world, owes Britain at least $390, 000000 which it declines to pay. This was referred to recently in the House of Lorr's by Lord Redesdale, who explained how eight of the Southern Stat- es of America had raised loans in Great Britain in the last century and then de. faulted in the pa, ment of interest. Miss. issippi, Lout iana, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, North and South Carolina are the defaulting States and while Lord Redesdale estimated the pres- ent amount of their debt to Britain as 9390,000.000, the Earl of Limerick, calcul. Ming compound interest declared it to he $1.000000000, Mississippi defaulted in 1841 and repudiated liability in 1852, so that the debt is no new one. President Roosevelt declared the action of the defaulting States to be "a painful and hamefui page" in American history, This ninety.year-old debt is now equiv- alent to one -twelfth of the whole of Brit- ain's war debts to America.
