Where local cleaning plants are in operation, it remains only for the grower to haul his seed to the plant where it will be cleaned and graded at comparatively small cost. When a grower is not fortunate enough to be located reasonably close to a cleaning plant and has no other convenient means of getting the work done, it is good business either to purchase a small sized fanning mill himself or arrange to have the use of one in his locality. In some parts of the country, parti- cularly in Western Canada, travelling cleaning plants take care of consider- able seed cle'anin'g. Complete outfits mounted o ntruoks do cus't'om clean- ing in much the sa'tne way as custom threshing is done. To any one who can finance the undertaking, the trav- elling cleaning plant offers an oppor- tunity oIf turning spare time during. the winter into cash particularly in districts where no modern seed clean- ing equipment is available, Seed cleaning is an off season job end s'houl'd foot be .put off until spring when time is more valuable on the ifam and cleaning plants are usually running at full capacity. If the sleau- ing is to be done by the local plant it is best, therelfore, to haul in the seed during the winter when better satis- faction can be given by the phut op- er'atoes and the cost of hauling may be lower. If one waits until spring .to prepare or set aside enough good grain for seed, he often finds that the best has been fed during the winrter with the result that poorer seed may act - "CENT A MILE" Round Trip Bargain Fares SAT.

GODERICH When the case of Ebner Bell, charg- ed with securing relief by fraud, was called in police court Monday, Frank Donnelly, defense counsel, argued that his client was not in physical con - clition to stand trial, although he was present in court. Counsel said a 'doc- tor had refused to issue a certificate absenting .accused unless the money w a s forthcoming simultaneously. "This man has .a :bad heart, is anaemic, and has just recovered from an attaok of pleurisy. I asked the doctor for a certificate, but he refused to issue one unless he was paid for it: He said he had already done too much work for nothing." said Mr. Donnelly. "I am giving my services in this case gratis, but you can hardly expect ,me to pay for the medical certificate." The charge was read and the case proceed- ed with, Bell pleading not guilty and electing trial' by judge and jury. I't is alleged that accused signed a requis- ition for a cord o'f wood when he al- ready had over three cords on his premises. "This is a trivial matter, in- volving only two or three dollars," said Mr. Donnelly. "The wood was green and wouldn't burn, so they thought they would get a little ahea,cl to give ,ft a chance to dry." "I hate to use •a stock phrase, but there is a big principle involved. Re- lief frauds .cannot be tolerated,"' said Crown Attorney Holmes. Relief Of- ficer Seabrook could not be located. to give evidence, so the 'ease was ad joupned ,until Tuesday of next week. Relief for the IBe'll family was cut off on January 111, Mrs. Ball told the :court the wood was exhausted, and there was only half a loaf of bread in the. house, Further relief had been •re fused, she said. She was advised t•o, apply again. All mothers can put away anxiety regarding their suffering children when they have Ala:titer Graves'. Norm Exterminator to give relief.
