May Close Rest Roorn;-Do the
merchants and, citizens of Clinton
wish to do away with the rest room,
asks The Clinton News -Record,
which was established some years ago
and which has been a very great con-
venience to those coming into Clin-
ton to do shopping? The matter will
probably come up at the first meeting
of council:the old council refusing'to
take any action on it. The 'News -
Record believes that the rest room is
needed. It used to be the custom for
shoppers to spend their time in the
shops, there were always chairs about
for visitors and it was the custom far
farmers and their wives to bring bas-
kets of b,utter, eggs, poultry, etc., and
"trade" this out, the bulk of the buy-
ing being done at the store which
bought the farmers' stuff. That daY
is past. The farmer sells his produce
for cash, (mighty , little cash, it is true
these days) and he and his wife buy
just where they wish, going from one
store to another. No particular store
is headquarters and the habit of us-
ing one as a rendesvous has gone out
of fashion. But a place to spend an
hour while one's husband is finishing
up his business; or a place to take
one's small children for attention dur-
ing, an afternoon's shopping, or a
place to sit down -in comfort for a
few minutes' rest is needed by the
women who come into Clinton to
shop. It is appreciated by them and
will be sorely missed if it is closed.
Also in the summer season a rest
room is needed by tourists, who will
stop in a town which -offers conven-
iences.

HURON COUNTY APPLES
,(IF,amily Herald and Weekly Star)
'''`Dast 'week I 'set up an exhibit i
Stratford, I lwent to a merchant an
asked for the use of his facilities, an
with his help we gave a display o
what our orchard prod,uces." •
'Hr. George Laithwaite, of the Go
derich Highway, was the speaker. Thi
region is within the sound of Lak
'Huron. The district 'throughout

'Here are to be fogad some. of the fin

The representative of the Famil
Herald and- Weekly Star was delight
,ed to pay this splendid region a brie
visit. lAs the scribe drove along thi
road to within a mile ,of the countS
seat, he noted some wonderful inorisI
ltig ,in cement, and he was full o
curiosity regarding the owner of a
farrn1 50 oraamented.
He found on, this farm forty-five
acres orchard, twenty -dive acres of
maple grove planted by th.e owner, to
say nothing of one th-ousand walnuts
that had Ibsen set out by h•iin. In ad-
dition there is a fine .herd Jersey
cattle, and evidences of general farm -
ng.
The matter of apple sales. was un
-
ermost in the scribe's mind, and he
sked Mr. Laithwaite if he pradticed
nything -special in this line, whet the
oregoing ans.wer was given. Then
allowed a few shrewd 'questions acis-
o merchants in London and, in oth
laces, who would be likely to co-
perate in the work of giving a help_
ul f,ruit display.
"Here are advertising card.s," Mr,
aithwaite continued, and he pro-
uced cards that are the last thing in
gibility, in neatness and attractive-
ess. On these cards one finds the
ame of the fruit ex.hibited, also the
ante and address of the owner. Mr.
aithavaite has fully thirteen ,varieties
apgles in ,his orchard. 6 -Ie and his
oys know how to pack apples so as

wake explained. Here were Spys
n that were miustiady high in color.
d Others were outstanding for flavor,:
d while others had been deli -eloped with
f -a special view tot keeping qualities.
One variety attracted special atten-
- tion, a variety of Yellow Spys. Mr.
s 1Laithwaite was good enough to give
e the scribe a liberal sample of this
s wonderful apple. These were cored, '
. baked in a stow oven Iwith a little Wa-
- ter in the bottom of the baking dish,
e, and served With cream. The apples
o -bake to a fluffy attractiveness that
1 make a desert that is unique among,
d the best baking apples of the best
s apple region in the world. "These
- apples sell readily even in s-easons -like
h this. Hotel men who once get these
t baking apples will have nothing else.
✓ Some of the big hotels would take
away every one of these apples I can
y produce," their owner commented,
- ,"You are an apple enthusiast?"
f "I dearly love to work with nature.
s Every little -bud'seems to challetige
me with the offer 'For value received
- I promise to pay,' I accept the offer,
f and find, nature wonderfully honest.
Site excels humans in that quality.
When I give value she pays it back
with interest. I hope :to end my daysl
a among my groves and tre-es."
(And in his orcharcling Mr. Leith-
hsaite works with system. Few men
have better records than has heiin this
respect. '
'For this purpose he sets apart an-
nually a ,s.heet of cardboard that rep-
resents his whole orchards. To each
section and to each. variety Of apple
there is given a .special department, in
each department 'hs sets down in, this
graphic way the date of spraying, the
direction of the wind when the spray-
ing is dose, the state df the weather,
the g,ene.ral nature of the season, and
any othe-r particular. Interesting, in-
deed, is it to note that he gives an
actual life-size representation of a
typical leaf from the trees at the titne
of Spraying, the drawing being -made
from the leaf laid on -the cardboard.
The same holds true of the buds; for
each bud is drawn to life size With
the number of peta.ts in sight. In this
way Mr. Laithwaite ;ICITOWS from year
yea.r just iwhat he is doing. His
record made in this detailed fashion
is a histo.ry of what he has done in
past years, Inc this way he learns
from experience. !The happy - go -
lucky, catch -as -catch -can element , is
eliminated. •
',Even when I have done my best,
there are a great many things creep
