How to Grow Roses (By an Exeter High School Student) 'Like any other undertaking which is to result in success, the growing of roses requires thorough prepara­ tion. Selection of soil, choice of location and care in planting are the chief requisites. If thought and diligence are applied in the early preparations, the after care will not be burdensome and the grower will be more than repaid for his labour by the succession of beautiful blooms which his garden roses wil>l produce. (While the rose is not over-parti­ cular about the nature of the soil, it prefers a clay loam. The hardiest type of rose, such as the briar will grow in almost any soil, but the more tender variety of Hybrid Teas prefers a warmer soi!( of sandy loam None of the rose family does Its best in a black, soil as it contains too much acid. The rose requires an abundance of sunlight in an open position, away from walls, hedges or trees. If this ideal location is not available, tne planting should be made where the I morning sun, at least will shine on J the bed. 'Shelter from cold' winds , is desirable. Perhaps the most important of the three requisites mentioned above is planting, for no matter how suit­ able the soil or location, if the rose is not properly planted, there is little likelihood of it amounting to much. Care should be taken to dig the hole much wider and deeper than the spread of the roots. If the drainage is not good, it will be Im­ proved by putting some stone or brickbats in the bottom of the pit. If the soil is light, some well-rotted 'barnyard manure should be added and this should be covered by a couple of inches of fine soil The rose plant will then be prepared by carefully spreading the roots and trimming back the stems until some half dozen buds remain. Any sickly branches should be removed. The soil) is thoroughly saturated with water and the plant covered well above the grafting bud. It is im­ portant that the soil be packed firmly over the roots and a protec­ tion of leaves or straw may be add­ ed to prevent the earth from drying out before the rose gets established. (The final stage in the growing of roses is the care of the bushes. There are some insect pests and a few diseases to watch. The latter are not difficult to treat and the form­ er can usually be driven off by cold water. The use of the hose serves a double purpose as roses want plenty of moisture. They are also heavy feeders and will generously reward the grower who gives them plenty of nourishment.

(May we look more expectantly now for better shoes for Johnny and for a new dress for Mary? Who is going to profit anyway? HOPEFUL If the prices of farm products remain good in 1934 and the grasshoppers and the frosts and the draught keep away and there is1 sufficient heat and moisture and the pests keep out of the orchards and there no destructive storms and there is a good crop of calves and pigs and the cows give lots of milk, the farmers, other things’ corresponding and luck holds good are likely to have a good season. ******** CHEERING The Bank of Commerce issues the following cheering statement: “Increasing industrial activity in Canada, especially in lumber­ ing, newsprint, automobiles, .and textiles, which appears to. be based upon a sound consumption demand, exceeds both the seasonal and the anticipated trend. January exports were higher than a year ago, for the most part in volume as well as in value; this is particularly true of forest products and minerals.” And a Caution But like some business men the world over, particularly like the sane Britisher it tempers enthusiasm with caution and says: “The industrial advance which we signalled last month ex­ ceeded all expectations'. Indeed, the upward movement since the first of the year has been on a scale that prompts inquiry as to whether it can be maintained; in other words, whether current production is not outrunning consumption. A definite answer to the question cannot be given until a month or so hence, when the mar­ keting results of this increased production will be 'known. ******** .JOHN McIuAUGHLIN 90 YEARS OLDSOURED ON THE WORLD?—THAT’S LIVER Wake up your Liver Bile —No Calomel necessary Many people who feel sour, sluggish and generally wretched make the mistake of taking salts, oil, mineral water, laxative candy or chewing gum, or roughage which only move the bowels and ignore the liver.

DIED IN TORONTO Robert Holmes died in Toronto last week in his 81st year. Mr. Holmes was a former publisher of the Clinton New Era having left Clinton twenty-five years ago for Toronto where he was appointed sur­ veyor or customs. The remains were brought to Clinton for interment. FARM HORSE PROSPECTS There is today a very marked scarcity of big, sound, work horses, andi owing to the slackening off In breeding, and the natural mortality in aged horses, the scarcity is bound to be acute during the next two years From a breeding standpoint the in­ dustry is suffering geratly from a lack of high quality stallions of the draught breeds. Statistical returns indicate a decrease of stallions amounting to 8,0 0 0 head between the years of 1913 0' to 1913'2, a situa­ tion which does not lend itself to a rapid increase in the horse popula­ tion. Stallion owners report that the breeding season of 1933 was the most satisfactory experienced for some years, sires being used to an increased extent. The prospect for 19 34, says the Agricultural 'Situation bulletin, is considered to be even more favorable. My Neighbour’s Rose The roses red upon my neighbour’s Vine Are owned by him, but they are also mine. His was the task and his the labour too, But mine their joy as- well as his, Their loveliness to view. They bloom for me and are for me as fair, As for the man who gave them all his care, Thus, I am rich because a good man grew A rose-clad vine for all his neighbour’s view. I know from this that othets plant for me, And what they own, my joy may also be Thus I am rich because a good man grew Al rose-clad vine for all his neighbor’s view. TAKE TIME TO FIND OUT Lately we have heard a good deal about oppressive methods employed by business men in regard to their employees. Head­ lines and radio ballyhoo have done their best to create the impres­ sion that business men were anything but fair with either their customers or those on their payrolls. “Sweat shop methods,” “Slav­ ery” were some of the epithets applied. Simon Legree of Uncle Tom’s Cabin fame was thought of as gentleman by comparison with the whips'lingers of our modern day. 'Folk were warned that em­ ployers were in league with .slavedrivers if they bought a shirt or a dress from one of our larger stores. No man in these days, it was hinted, could be either honest or humanitarian who suc­ ceeded in business. Success in any of the larger enterprises was suggested to have been bought at the cost of the blood or hu­ man beings. And so the miserable story ran on. The painful thing about it all Was that many of the public, received these lurid state­ ments with open mouthed delight. An investigation followed which vindicated the employers' who were accused of oppressive methods. In plain English, our busi­ ness men were found to be upright men who practiced common honesty!But this does not remove the fact that some mean reports as to the conduct of those business men have been heralded from one end of North America to the other. No. end of damage has been done meanwhile the ballyhooers go unwliipt. Yet why is the public so probe to believe that business men are oppressive and dishonest? Why are allegations that some business man is a rascal so readily believed? It is perfectly well known that most business men practice a code of ethics that has stood public criticism for centuries. Further, the interest in the welfare of a firm for its employees challenges-the zeal of the em­ ployees for tile progress of the firm any day. There is bo denying this fact. Anyone may confirm this statement if he will but take pains to find out the facts. This is the merest commonplace among the Informed, Yet while this is the state of affairs any girl who lias little regard for the truth may make a statement that will be heralded from one end of Canada to the other, no matter what dis­ tress1 or injury it may work an honorable business man. Further, the public little appreciates, what the business men have done to save the day during the last five terrible business years. These employers have gone the limit to keep their em­ ployees on the payroll, their efforts, it seems, in many cases, being very little appreciated. Surely the time is right here when the public should seek no evil, see no evil and speak no evil without first finding out the facts regarding any allegation made about any business man or any business firm.

Doctor’s Services. (Brantford Expositor) John McLaughlin recently cele­ brated his 90 th anniversary of his birth, at the home of his son Ex-Ald- W. E. McLaughlin, and (Mrs. Mc­ Laughlin, 291 Dalhousie Street and I doing it with the health and happi- ' ness that has been his continuously down through the long trail of years. ■Such has been the health of John McLaughlin that during the nine de- I cades of his life he has not osce re- . quired the services of a doctor. Only once has “John" as he is known to a host of friends in the city had a di­ sease and that was when he con­ tracted “mumps” but it was a very trivial trouble “to keep me in* the house,” he says, Asked for his recipe for loegevity, t this -son of Asmagh, Ireland, who came to Canada and to London when. | a year and a half old, remarked !wih a smile: “I never had one, I ’ just worked hard (he was. a mould­ er) ate what I liked and until the last few years could get along with five or six hours sleep a night. But I never worried.” 4 Slightly stooped with the rav­ ages of time, John McLaughlin, whose health is so good at present that he expects to live to be a hun­ dred, is out every day. Every day with the exception of Sunday he wends his way to the Temple build­ ing and climbs two flights of stairs, to get to the Masonic Club, /there to enjoy a few rounds of “cards.” with brethren much younger in year, who enjoy his spasmodic flashes of Irish wit and humor. It is just 61 years ago since he became a 'Free Mason. Though age has slightly dimmed the eye it has not dimmed the fac­ ulties of the man, nor has it becloud­ ed the memory rich in reminiscences He can delighfully talk of the days down through the trail of the wax candles, ithe oil and electric lamp; days of colonization, nation-building and nationhood; days when the horse was the fastest mode of travel in the land of locomotion; the iron horse, the horse-less carriage and the airplane of today; days of peace and war; days before telegraphic communication, telegraph, telephone wireless and radio days—days 'Of man and days of machine. He’s both old and young. He remembers when stumps dotted Dundas street, London instead of the fine pavements there now. But, it would take a volumin­ ous book to encompass the story of his reminiscences. John McLaughlin knows early London because he lived there till he was 19 with the exception of some time spent “sailing the lakes” and visiting a number of U. S. towns and cities. From London he went to Exeter, Ont., to eventually become foreman in the Verity moulding shop and when that company sold out and moved to Brantford, he con­ tinued on with the new firm for some years. About 2Oi years ago he permanently retired and ten years ago came to live with his son and daughter-in-law here. ’I On the day of his birthday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. McLaughlin friends of John McLaughlin Are1* gathered. They are all males ^dn’d practically all members of theudl/e fraternity. They are honoring fidend “John” and hoping he will to befl00 years old, and he thinks he wilb Al­ though he says: “I’ve got to\ talEe care of my health now.” At 4'52 degrees below zero "some of the metals, such as silver ariSmbppdi* lose their resistance to electricity and become super-conductors. ! j —— .■■■i... . —■ — — 1--------------------------------------------- Out r Face and Armsa For the past 55 years .
