Anyone who has purchased these theaters, no warning having been gi- ven when they were sold, should be very careful in the use of same.

I.T. groups and Sunday Schools was field in the Presbyterian Church, Clinton. Represen'tatives were present from Goderich, Exeter, Hensel', 'Sea- north, Apbue'n and the local church, numbering considerably over one hundred. The meeting was presides over by the County president, Fre'd G. Weir of Goderich. Opening exer- 'rises, consisting of service o'f praise, 'Scripture reading and prayer were conducted by 'Rev. I. B. Kane of .Seaforth. Reports were received from ,all Young Peopl'e's S'o'cieties and C. G. a. T. groups represented. These reports gave evidence of increasing interest in :these branches as well as an increase in mem'bersh'ip, Musical numbers included a solo and an an- them by the choir.. A generous of- fering was taken after which Rev. I. 13. Kane gave an outline of prospec- tive improvements in the summer camp at Kintail. Cabins are to oe constructed, each having a capacity of ten occupants. Each presbyterial throughout the synod is to be respon- sible for the building of one of these cabins which are to be constri'cte'd oaf logs with attractive interior trim at an approximate cost of $1'50- each. The first to 'build is to have the choice of. site. Each society in the different presbyterial's is given an allocation to- ward the cost. The cabin to be built by the Young People's Societies in Huron will be named the Huron. A resolution endorsing this undertaking received' en'thusiastic support. The address of the even'in'g was delivered by Rev. David' J. Lane of Knox Church, Goderich. He chose for his subject, "The Success of Young Peo- ple's. Work," haling reference more particularly to Y.IP.S. and' C!G.I,T, groups. He stressed the importance of not only having joyous social 'hours but to keep well to the fore the devo- tional and 'ed'ucation'al. He deplored the fact that many young people's. or- ganizations were degenerating into mere s'oci'al clubs. A joyful religion! Yes, by all neons, but not joyfulness carried to extremes. Following Mr. Lane's address the report o'f the nout- inating committee was received. The officers for the past year were all re- appointed with the addition of an as- sistant secretary. These include Hon. ,President, Rev, L B Kane, Seafo.rth;' president, Fred G. - Weir, Goderich; secretary, Miss Beryl Pa11, Hen-s'all; assistant, •hiss IkIeleu 'Roberton, Clin- ton; tre'asu'rer, Miss Grieve, Exeter, Miller's 'Worm Panders will drive worms from the system without in- jury to the child.

(Fairs' are weneralble. They were'pop- ular away back'an the days of ancient Greece. The, 'Romani . recognized their educational value long,long before Caxton invented the printing press, They are even more popular today. The modern exhibition is one of na- ture's gre.ates't advertising mediums. a'tn tep-to-date show parade is a most- magni'ficen't sight, It is a gorgeous d'isp'lay of Fashion and splendor. The fancy stock man grooms, trines ant dreses his prize animals and birds in a most elegant .manner before they are presented in the show ring. iBeautiful seeds, like :animals, live. They merely breathe in a different form of nature. Seeds, like animals too, may be adorned and trimmed, and finished, in a most artistic and harmless fashion to gladden the eye of everyone who may look upon them. The act of correctly finishing off, or po'lish'ing a show• sample of seeds, is the harmless process of sm'oot'hing up t'he external covering of the in- dividual kernels, and at the same time removing some of bhe creating wherever it may 'be in excess. The advantages are all' in favor of the manipulating, careful ex'hi'bitor •wh'o does not over do this exacting j'o'b• 'Every major show is overloaded with beautiful samples' absolutely ruined by too harsh and untimely treatm'en't, The deceiving thing about over in- dulgence in this polishing act is, that the tricky, after effects are not im- mediately apparent. These effects manifest themselves gradually after a few days, or even after some weeks. Just about the time the hard earn- ed and 'beau'tiful sample is ready for shi'pme'nt to the show, one may find that the seeds have taken on a differ- ent a'ppea'rance, less s'trikin'g, not so convincing. As with an 'apple, which' accid'en'tally rolls to the floor as it is being patted gently and caressed by the good'mother Inc tete dinner table, the bruises may not be noticed today; but, alas! .Look for the ugly brown marks• on the morrow when nature puts in her unseen, silent Chemical work of reaction. Nature has a coun- ter action for every move that does not meet with her absolute approval. LPolishing.well done, "livens" up the indivfdtual kernels so that they slip closer and quicker against one an- other, thus leaving less air spacing. The result is more kernels to the bushel measure and proportionally greater mass density wh'i'ch, in wheat as an. example, will produce greater weig'h't per 'bus'hel. The internal• substance of any seer) is always mare dense than the exter- nal clavering, (as the bran of wheat). Therefore, it is at once apparent that the more one can reduce the outside covering, Wherever it may ;be in ex- cess, the greater will be the deu'sity or weight'of the kernel in proportion to its volume. 'Correct finish does not enhance lits-. ire acrd add brilliance to any hard, sur- faced seed. The range of sleading in ,co'lo'r^ of the 'individual kernels u'p'on which are spots of ' various sizes, slhapes, positions and ranges of color. A good 6n.is'b seems to have the tend- ency to subdue the detr'imental, oculetee impression of these. spots., II't is quite common for oats to hove large pink, pollen spots beneath the front bosom s'h'ield. These are . nat- ural deposits which .have accumulated a@ter the flowering stage of the seed. They cannot be removed. They are. not objectionable. T'h'ese disadvantages of o'v'er -fin'is'h- ing and "polishing, while perhaps 'not imtmed'iately detected at the time of Processing, are so many that every new exhibitor should' abstain from 'the practice, as •much as .po'ssi'ble; un- til he has found .out through tests and mistakes by experience, just what, and what not to do. Never experie meat with a portion of the seed which one contemplates using for an exhi+bit. Use some representative, discard seed for this' purpose. When the experiment is complete set the seeds to one side for a while and take time to expect results. 4n many cases the writer found no apparent change until the cool of winter turned into 'the drying warmth of summertime. The coating may, through' over work, develop "blisters" which affect color and vitality, and by the slow loosening and raising of the skin, cause a reduction in the weight ' per bushel measure. The ends of oats es- pecially begin to ' curl and. "mush- room." The 'bosom front splits along the sides and exposes the germ seed underneath. This creates greater air spaces and where once the weight per bushel was heavy it gradually be- comes less. Vitality is weakened. This is espec- lady detrimental at seeding time, if the natural, protective covering has been tampered with to such an extent that it is. of very little value to shield the precious seed against adverse moisture, or soil, or temperature, or disease, or insect attack's. It is com- parative to exposing a child to the severe elements without proper cloth- ing. Assuming that the World Show sample has passed the scrutinizing eye of the hand. 'pecker, and is com- plete in every way, suppose we jour- ney with the writer through some of the simple and safe, natural processes of fin'is'hing off, taking_ the different kind of seeds in or'd'er of their relative importance. (Wheat: !Place the sample in 'large cotton sacks—about one-third Full— slide and shake in an end to eted nen- tion, about thirty changes to the min- ute, for about three to five minutes at a time; Then rest the sample an equal• length of time by flattening it ou't. This rest insures against a rise in tem'pera'ture due to friction. Keep this' up until one notices a shortening of the brush end o'f the kern'el. The pro- cess is over done when the brush end is comple'te'ly removed. 'Wheat should increase in weight about one and one half pounds per bushel and take on a lustrous shine.
