special interest was manifest in that
this was the closing year of Rev. M.

fouryears revealed the fact that. Mr.
Wilson's term has been almost the
most successful pastorate in the his-,
tory of .the church. The increase in
membership in missionary giving and
the fact of a total increase in, giv-
ings of $2,140 and a balance on
hand of $213 was indeed a credit to
the generosity of the congregation
and the labors of pastor. .A. splendid

CLASSES OF ROAD IN ONTARIO.
Many people of the Province do
not realize the difference in the
classes of roads which the Depart-
ment of Highways of Ontario help
municipalities to construct and main-
tain. There are four classes of roads
which receive subsidies, viz.; coun-
ty road, Provincial County road.Pro-
vincial highways and suburban roads
County Road.
These are market roads created
for the purpose of meeting the need
of accumulated farm traffic, radiat-
ing from local towns and shipping
centers. Although separated from
township organization, they are, in
effect, the most important of town-
ship roads. Local traffic concentrates
on them and the business organiza-
tion of them is put under a separ-
ate authority, the County Council.
Provincial County Road.
These roads are intended to make
the more equitable maintainence of
certain county roads carrying a cer-
tain amount of through traffic. They
are a class which connect the more
important urban centers of the Prov-
ince and carry muee traffic which
originates outside the county itself.
Much of it in many cases, may be a
traffic of tourist character. In gen-
eral they form branches of the Pro-
vincial highway system, joining up
the cities and other important ter-
minal ponita.
Provincial Highways.
This is a class of highway carry-
ing heavy traffic; not merely bet-
ween important cities and towns
within the Province but also traffic
which is interprovincial and even in-
ternational, The present 'provincial
highway was from the southwestern
boundary of Ontario (Windsor) to
the boundary line between Ontario
and Quebec, branching off at Pres-
cott to Ottawa, and also branching
at Toronto to Hanmiltoh-•-•-St Cath-
arines to Niagara Falls,
To this class of road the cities co-
operate with the counties in Improv-
ing the leading county road adjacent
to thein. A commission isappointed

O the general farmer who
grows good grain for seed,
to the specialist in garden
and truck crops, and par-
ticularly to the live stock man the
Fall Fair offers an opportunity. It.
pays to advertise and the Fair is the
place where the people see the goods
produced, and seeing is believing.
Moreover, the papers report the win-
nings and through these the exhibi-
tor gets a large amount of advertis-
ing free which would otherwise cost
him a considerable amount of money,
Winning in close competitions under
a competent judge addsdollars to
the value of stock shown and in-
creases the market a et price of any com-
modity as well as giving the exhibi-
tor a standing not only in his own
community but over a section of
country corresponding to the size and
influence of the show at which prizes
are won. The Fair is a good place
to make sales. Prospective buyers
see the good exhibits made and en-
quire about the breeding stock at
home. Stockmen show at Fairs large-
ly to make sales rather than to win
prizes although the latter is a factor
in the sales and they are not dis-
appointed as evidenced by the grow-
ing interest in the Fall Fair. Show-
ing at the Fair, coupled with a judi-
cious newspaper advertising policy,
which should never be neglected, is
good business. The two go together
and work hand in hand. It pays to

Hints on Harvesting Root Crops.
' Root crops should be taken up be-
fore the weather becomes too wet and.
disagreeable in, the fallif in, any
quantity. fl isF iltow, work at any
time and becomes much more so un-
der cold damp conditions. Lift the
roots with a digging fork and, twist
off the tops, putting them in piles
and covering with the tops. If a
large area is to be lifted, and one is
expert with a sharp hoe, he can very
quickly remove the tops, but they
will not keep quite as well. The
roots should be ploughed out, throw-
ing them as much as possible on the
top. Bins with slatted sides and
bottom should be used for storage
where possible, as this gives the
roots a chance to sweat. If the stor-
age room temperature is above 40F.
cover them with sand. Carrots should
not be deeper than two feet in a bin,
others may be four feet. Where cel-
lar storage is not available use pits.
These should be three feet wide, two
or three feet high and of any length.
Run the pits north and south where
possible, and have them on well -
drained ground. Put a layer of straw
on the ground and cover.first with
straw 6 inches deep then 6 inches
earth, and as the frost gets harder
cover with fresh strawy manure.
Have ventilators every 15 or 20 feet,
as all roots sweat in storage. These
may be filled with straw during cold
periods.
All roots should bo as free from
dirt as possible when put in storage.
It is often advisable to leave a few
days in small piles so that at the
second lifting any adhering will be
removed.—A. H. MacLennan, B.S.A.,
Ontario Vegetable Specialist.
Cereal Grains for Bread -making.
On this continent and in Europe
we use wheat in much larger quan-
tities than any other grain. This is
because the flour made from wheat
contains the constituents necessary
to form gluten. Rye contains a simi-
lar substance to a lesser extent, while
the other grains do not have any of
this material. Gluten is a tough,
elastic, tenacious substance, capable
of considerable expansion. Conse-
quently, when the gas liberated
through the action of yeast seeks to
make its way out of wheat flour
dough the gluten expands, retaining
the gas and causes the -dough to rise.
When the bread is baked the gluten
is "set" or coagulated, and this ac-
counts for the light porous structure
of wheat bread. When surrounded
by a proper crust the moisture is re-
tained and the bread may be kept
for several days and still be an at-
tractive article of food. Rice, oats,
corn and barley.cannot be used alone
to prepare bread of this type. They
cannot be expanded by means of
yeast for their is no cohesion in the
mass. They may be used in making
biscuits and cakes or quick breads,
which breaks easily, dries out read.
fly, cannot be safely transported, and
must be consumed within a few bouts
after being prepared.
On the other hand, there is com-
paratively little difference in tho
composition of the various cereal
grains and, consequently, one will
furnish about as much digestible nu.
Wentz as another. If, then, in a time
of wheat shortage like the present,
we substitute some of the flour of
corn, oats, barley,' buckwheat, de.,
for wheat flour in making bread, we
do not decrease its nutritive value.
We do dilute the gluten and thus
limit the power of expansion of the
dough and we mike the bread dark,

how much ofthatvictory was due. 'to
such acts of individual courage as
Won Cecil Kinross the V.C.
The struggle was severe. The Can -
adieu line was withering under ter -
rifle fire. One of the sources of this
punishment of the line was a ma-
chine gun which was pouring ltd
deadly hail into the trenches of the
Canadians. Pte. Kinross was seen to
make a careful survey of the ground
intervening' between the. Canadian
line and the German line. It was
broad daylight. Deliberately divest-
ing himself of all his equipment, ex-
cept
xcept his bandolier, the belt that car-
ried his ammunition, and his rifle,
he went over the top alone.
He advanced steadily, under direct
fire, towards the enemy line, and
single-handed charged the machine
gun. He killed the crew of six and
put the gun out of commission. Fired
by the example of their comrade the
other men of his company made a
rush and advanced 300 yards and
established a highly important pori-
tion. He was seriously wou'nd'ed in'
the head and arm later the same day.
It was not until two months later,
while convalescing in Orpingloa Heti
pital, England, that he heard that
he had been given the Victoria Cross
jot hiswork that day in October. He
was the most surprised man in his
company.
Pte. Kinross is the only sonof
James Sterling Kinross, J.P., Long-
heed, Alta. Before enlisting he work-
ed on his father's farm. He joined
the 51st Battalion in October, 1915,
at Edmonton. By volunteering to go
over with a special draft he got to
England the following December,
spending Christmas Day at sea. In
England he was sent to Shorncliffe,
where he was in training until
March. He was soon in action in the
third battle of Ypres. In June he
moved to the Somme, where he was
wounded, but was back in the
trenches in about a month. From
that until Passchendaele he was in
the battle line continuously, with the
exception of ten days' leave in Eng-
land,
ngland, just before the big engagement
in which he won the V.C.
The Kinross family came from
England to live in Canada in 1911.
They settled on a farm near Loug-
heed. Cecil Kinross was born in.
iUxbridge, Middleex, England, about
ten miles from London. When he
was nine years old his parents moved
to Hollies Farm:, Lea Marston, near
Birmingham. Six years later they
came to Canada. One sister is now
a nurse in Edmonton. The younger
sister took her brother's place on the
farm during his absence overseas as
so many girls have done in England.
Two cousins who had come to Can-
ada the same time as the Kinross
family, joined the army early in the
war. One of them, D. A. Kyle, was
a trapper in the Peace River district
when war was declared and walked
200 miles to enlist. The other was
James Miller. Both have won the
Military Medal. Every relative of the
V.C., of military age, was in the
army.
Cecil John Kinross started school
when he was about six years old. He
went to a boarding school near his
home, Dawes Farm, Uxbridge. A
cheering bit of information for. boys
of that age now will be the fact that
the future V.C. was frequently minus
dessert, Sundays, for wriggling in
church, while he was in attendance
at this school. He did not attend
that school very long. When his par-
ents moved north Cecil John went to
Lea Marston public school, and later
to Coleshill Grammar School.
Last spring, obtaining leave from
hospital after his wounds were be-
ginning to mend, Pte. Kinross, V.C.,
visited his old home. Hearing of his
coming the town arranged a public
reception for him. He was met at
the railway station by prominent
citizens, carried shoulder high to a
waiting motor and driven around the
surrounding parishes. The proces-
sion was headed by a band and a
large number of the boys from Lea
Marston and Coleshill schools. The
parade ended up at the school, where
speeches were made and a presenta-
tion made to the boy who had
brought distinction to the school.
In the three years that Pte. Kin-
ross was in the army he was engaged
at various forms of military duty,
always with that tincture of danger
that made the life attractive to him,.
But of all the phases of work he
Was happiest when he was just an
ordinary "Tommy," and with that
curious mixture of refinement and
keen and fearless daring, which le
found so often in `the English Make-
up, he could say, "This is the life
for me.". --Carolyn Cornell.
