There’S a special goodness in Kellogg’s Corn Flakes.
It s partly their delicious flavor — never successfully
copied. Partly oven-fresh crispness, protected by the
patented WAXTITE inner wrapper.
Ask for the world’s leading Corn Flakes, made by
Kellogg in London, Ont., and give your family the best.
Nothing takes the place of CORN FLAKES
SPORT FLASHES
With Clifford, Harriston, Mount
Forest and Listowel dropping out of
the Central baseball league, it looks
as if this league will rest on the shelf
for this year at least,
* * *
The professional ball clubs have got
started but the weatherman has been
dishing up hockey weather here.

A Huron-Perth Baseball League
has been formed. The entries in this
league are: Clinton, Seaforth, Zurich,
Goderich, Mitchell and probably one
other. Mr. Gurney and son, Jim, at-
tended the orgahizatiom meeting at
Clinton, but Wingham will be in the
Bruce League again this year.
All this talk about Wingham being-
pushed out of the Bruce League this
year was all bunk, Chesley, Kincar
dine and Alienford are the only Bruce
teams in the league this year, so far.

A town baseball league has been
organized to replace the softball lea

veloping players for higher company.

gave an interesting synopsis of the
Institute’s work during the past twen
ty-five years, including war work,
donations to Memorial Hospital in
Toronto, and donations to hospitals
in Goderich and Wingham, and relief
work to many different causes at
home and to the West. She also gave
a splendid address on Institute work
in general,,” She said they had accom
plished SO much during the past 25
years ,;that it was difficult io select
any one effort as outstanding. How
ever, here was one significant fact
that had been established during this
wonderful and prolonged record and
that is, we have shown the world that
it is possible for women of many
varying classes, of many different op
inions and trends of thought, of many
different shades of politics and of dif
ferent creeds, to unite in one common
effort toward the betterment of con
ditions in community life. The value
of these efforts is apparent not .only
in our own country but all over the
world where the inspiration of Insti
tute work is felt. She also stated that
no other organization had done as
much to raise the standard of public
health for the perfect physical devel
opment of every child, has given the
time and study to home economics,
home nursing, child welfare, dental
clinics, medical inpsection of our
schools, prevention of diseases, health | reading on the life and work of the
centres, in fact, everything that tends T ” . ’
for better conditions in the commun
ity life, as our Women’s Institute had
done.
The Institute had been organized
39 years ago and if it had not been
such a worthwhile effort it would
have ceased to exist years ago, but
its work was ever increasing from
year to year. While she was giving
her address 25 candles on a beautiful
birthday cake were lighted.
Mrs. Fred Oster, district president
of Blyth, was called and gave a fine
address. Mrs. W., Blake, Mrs. Archie
Messer, Mrs. Bert Thompson and
Miss Josephine McAllister, were the
four charter members present, who
had been members of the Institute
for the 25 years. The programme
ended by singing “O Canada”. Lunch
was served, everyone present had a
piece of the birthday cake, and the
remainder of the evening was spent
in dancing. The proceeds of the
ening amounted to about $40.00.

NEW CAR FOR OLD
Being a good hand at carpentering,
Hiram Dohner kept his Chevrolet
Royal Mail roadster in excellent run
ning condition for 22 years and then
had a 1936 model presented to him
as a sort of reward. Hiram lives in
Quentin, a hamlet in the valley of
Susquehanna. When the Chevrolet
people set out to find the oldest
Chevrolet in point of continuous ser
vice in the United States, the roadster
of the Pennsylvania carpenter won
hands down, with a few marks
thrown in for neatness. The Dohners,
Hiram and Mary, take care of things,
and their family transportation, even
with 250,000 miles registered, was as
slick and shiny as a two-year-old.
Upkeep had cost $250, including three
paintings and a new top. The Dohners
were Chevrolet’s guests at Detroit
where they were given a 1936 model,
a distinguished one, too, for it was
the one millionth Chevrolet built in
the calendar year 1935.

■ not obtainable seed may be used.
When seeding is practised a good
■ plan is to sift some fairly dry com-
■ post; mix one part red top to four
parts Kentucky blue grass; then mix
' these with the sifted soil and sow.
This method assures the grass seed
■ of covering. Seed should be sown as
■ .early as possible to get the advant
age of all cool and moist conditions.
■ Wherever heaving is experienced the
use of a heavy lawn roller is benefic
ial, and for best results rolling should
be done when the lawn is wet with
out being soggy. It should be noted
that a light roller is practically use
less; it may provide good exercise but
will follow the contour of the lawn
without having any levelling effect.
Fertilizing the lawn should be at
tended to in early spring. A complete
fertilizer containing 4% potash is re
commended, applied at the rate of 4
pounds per hundred square feet. Ad
ditional nitrogen may be supplied in
the form of sulphate of ammonia or
nitrate of soda. The lawns on the
Dominion Experimental Station, Har
row, usually receive 2 applications of
sulphate of ammonia, one pound to
one hundred square feet, in addition
to the spring application of complete ■
fertilizer. Ammonium sulphate is us
ed in preference to nitrate of soda to
counteract any probable alkaline re
action of the soil due to constant wat
ering with well water.
In recent years sod web-worms
have been present in varying num
bers. When the number is small birds
usually provide adequate control; but
1 it is frequently necessary to apply
poison as a control measure. It is ra
ther early to consider this pest ,but
the information is being given so that
action may be taken as it is consid
ered necessary. During a particularly
heavy infestation several years ago
very satisfactory results were obtain- '
ed by aplying arsenate of lead at the
rate of four pounds to forty gallons j
of water. This may be somewhat
stronger than necessary, but the mat- I
crial is not expensive and no bad of- j
feet was evident on the grass. When :
