The proper storage temperature var­ ies somewhat for the different veg- 'enables, but generally speaking it should be low enough to prevent growth of the vegetables and also the fungi and bacteria which may cause decay. Root crops and cab­ bage keep best between 34 degrees and 40 degrees and will withstand a slight amount of dampness. Pump­ kin, squash and onions should be stored in a dry place and will keep well at temperatures up to 45 de­ grees. Free circulation of air is essential to carry off the accumulated mois­ ture given off by the stored vege­ tables. Ventilators should be left open as long as possible during early winter. Only sound, well matured vegetables should be expected to keep well in storage. 1 The use terially in such roots snips. If dined to be damp, dry sand should be used, but if the storage room is dry, very slightly dampened sand should be used. If only a few cabbage are to be stored they can be suspended .by the roots. If the quantity is large the cabbages should be piled, preferably on slatted shelves. Some of the outer leaves should be left on to pervent the heads from touching. Turnips ((Swedes) can be piled in bulk like potatoes, or may be stored in soil. Onions should be thoroughly dried before being stored in a dry place. Pumpkins, squash and vegetable marrow should have the stems left on and require a dry location. II bride’s mother, by the Rev. R. Red­ mond, of Crediton, brother of the bride, Mr. Wm.

It was in 1879 and Mr. McKellar well remembered that in the one concession there were 77 people, while in the same mile and a quar­ ter today the population is only 23. That statement in itself gives a fair idea of how the populations in the rural districts have dropped.

Milburn Ctf.» Ltd,, Toronto, Ont Huron T emperance Federation Meets Sharp Criticism of Continuing Beer Sale in Huron County The Huron County Temperance Federation held its annual conven­ tion in Goderich on Friday of last week. About 106 delegates from all sections of the county attended the convention which was presided over by Mr. W. Q. Medd, of Exeter. There was much criticism of the Govern­ ment’s action in permitting the con­ tinued sale of beer throughout the county. The following resolution cd relative to the present m the county; I “Whereas the Supreme Ontario in a recent judgment decid­ ed that the Canada Temperance Act is valid and enforcible in the Coun­ ty of Huron and this decision is binding on every judge magistrate and law officer in the province; and whereas, notwithstanding this, beer is being sold in violation of the law; therefore be it resolved by this con­ vention; (1) That this convention declares that the issuance and continuance of authorities to sell beer in this coun­ ty constitutes an autocratic and in­ tolerable defiance of the Jaw. (2) That the Government of On­ tario order the illegal the sale of (3) That at once take the necessary steps to secure a vigorous and effective en- forement of the Canada Temperance Act in this County.” A second resolution called upon Dominion Government to pass such restrictive liquor legislation at the start and during the progress of the war necessary to ensure the achieve­ ment of victory. The new officers are: President, W. G. Medd, Exeter; vice-President, Richard Lloyd, Wingham and Mrs. Geo. Johnston, Goderich; secretary­ treasurer, Rev. W. A.

Hakwshaw in London on Wednesday, November 1, for the theft of a cow. i Crown authorities contended they • first took orders for beef in Parkhill then shot a cow in the field of Frank Nickles, near Parkhill and cut up the carcass. I Declaring he had talked to farm­ ers in the Parkhill district, Magis- ! trate Hawkshaw said: “Cattle have been missing from a number of the fields and farmers concluded they strayed away, Since this case open­ ed they are strongly of the opinion the accused men might know some­ thing about them.” 1 The two men pleaded guilty two weeks ago to theft of the cow. They appeared a week ago when represen­ tation for leniency was made to the court. At that time, Crown Attor­ ney Norman Newton charged that Feltz had been 'fired for dishonesty’ from his job as night constable. Frank Donnelly of .Goderich re­ presented Feltz and A. B.
