MEN ORGANIZE A Social Hour OFFICERS APPOINTED—WILL HOLD A BIG STOCK SALE IN MARCH A meeting was held in Wigham on Dec. 3ist for the purpose of organlz- ing a Pure Bred Live Stock Association, An Association known as the Huron Pure Bred Association was formed with the following otEcers:— President—Oliver Turnbull, Brus- sels, Vice-Preshdent—Geo, Kerr, itenfryn Sec.-Treas.—S. 13. Stothers, Clinton ' Directors—Ed Anderson, Dungannon: W. H. Gregg, Gorrie; I, J. Wright, Wingham; R, J. Sanderson, Fordwichtio Wm. Thomas, Auburn; Alex. hicEwing, • Blyth; E. H. Wise, Clinton; Wm. Web- ster, Lucknow; Ed. Taylor,' East Wawa - nosh; Thos, Pierce, Altar's. The objects of the Association are the promotion of good fellowship among its members and the advance- ment ef the general interests of entre: bred cattle by holding public sales at auction, discussions of the best methods of breeding and rearing cattle and in other ways extending interest of pure- bred cattle and establishing a reputa- tion for Huron County as the centre for high class live stock. It was proposed to hold a pure bred live stock sale some time in March, 1921. The Association is desirous of having the co-operation of all the live s stock breeders in the County.B Synthetic .tubles. Synthetic" rubies, or renovated j rubies, have become In recent years rivals of the blood red gems fash- toned by the alchemy of nature, At g a recent Jewelers' convention the I etory of their creation was told. Large solitaire rubies appeared on the Swiss market In 1890, and, there „. being no ruby mines 'In the Alps, the Pt origin of the atone*, which were all of rare beauty and exceptional Mae, was a mystery. An investigation re- a reeled that a nainleter of the Gospel L had succeeded in fusing the ruby 1, chips thrown away by lapidaries and was growing rich through hie magic secret. Scientists argued that, as a ruby id simply oxide of aluminum with a small amount of oxide of chronium to give It color, the fusion of the two metals shouid create rubies. Prof. Vermenil, a famous French scientist of that period, set to work on the problem. He used a modified oxy-layarogen torch, made of two tubes, one inside the other. The inner tube, which held the oxygen, extended a foot beyond the outer tube, which held the hydrogen. Powdered oxide of aluminium, with a touch of oxide of ahronlum, was placed, in, a sieve bottom box in the top of the inner tube. When the torch was lighted a small hemmer began to tap the powder box and small particles fell into the Bann. At lint the_ heat was tempered so that it merely warmed an 'earthen- ware rod placed to catch the falling powder, which gradually formed a Pyramid, The heat was then increas- ed and the apex of the pyramid be- came molten. The powder fusing as it fell added to the mass, which fili- ally cooled ,into a red, pear-shaped Crystal, nits crystal was a ruby as genuine as Any ever dug by the tur- baned slaves,front the mines of Asia. This is the Method followed by all later chemists. Synthetic rubles are Identical physically and chemical, ly With natural rubies In structure, hardness, color, and brilliancy, and can be manufactured to any size, The retiring members of 1920 Coun- cil were entertained by their colleagues and other town officials to an oyster supper at Henderson's Restaurant ate Monday evening after Council mediate, Addresses were given by the vahlotte officials present.
