STUNG
the word "Dutch" in. the slang ex-
pressions "get in Dutch" and "Dutch
!treat" has quite . different meanings,
'whatever the origins of the expres-
sions. "Dutch" will soon take on an-
other and unsavory meaning, if an ap-
.parently dishonest :practise ;of certain
Holland ferule continue. ss,
A year -ago Canadian newspapers
received anadvertisingorder direct
from 'a firm in Holland, advertising a
,generous, offer bulbs upon receipt
of $10,90 cash. .Holland. is a long
way from tCanada. and ,ind'ivtd'ual's
sending '.money to unknown firms in
a -Tolland, instead of buying from •Can-
adian importers, take a great chance.
As fel' as we know, the newspapers
were all stung, receiviing no remnn.er
ation.
The other day along came a similar
;advertising order Evans far away Hol-
land. }Again no ,cash accompanied the
order. Instead there is this obliging
warning: 'We wish to take this op-
portunity to warn you hereby against
e Dutch firm of bad repute." Kind of
them, is it not ?
IH'cwever, the Canadian papers
seem to have treated this. "honest"

conspicuous by its absence in all

Find Revolver from Brussels Bank.
-Echoes of the robbery of the Bank
of Nova Scotia at -Brussels on Oc-
tober 29, 1930, resounded +'n th,e riv-
er at \\Inghaun (tut week, when a
.312 cah'bre automatic Colt revolver,
taken from the bank on the day of
the robbery, was found by a young
son of Adolph Scatte. And more than
that. In the same river at Wingham
are thought to be the remnants of
$50 in coppers else taken on the day
of the robbery. For the last Pew
days boys who have been diving in
the river have brought many cop-
n.ers to the surface and this particular
spot is now the mecca of all the
swimmers of the teighlborhn'od. It
was while diving that young Scatte
recovered the revolver. He took it to
his father, who in turn handed it over
to F. M. Wilmot, manager of the
%B'ank of Nova Scotia. Bearing serial
number 311L,'51]19, the gun was identi-
fied as that stolen from the hank. Al-
together theb robbery netted $5,830,04
and of this $50 was in coppers. It is
presumed that after Leaving Brussels
the robbers drove to Wingham' and
after finding the packages contained
coppers and not quarters dumped
them in the, river, together with the
gun. The latter is now in posseesion
of Constable Whiteside, "The investi-
gation into the Brussels hank rob-
ibery is not ended; in fact, it has nev-
es. ceased," Constable Whiteside said.
He pointed out that the accused men,
on whose gsiallt ar innocence three
junies . disagreed, were net acquitted.
I+f sufficient evidence' to warrant a
new trial was secured, they would
teat have to be again indicted to be
placed on trial; he said. The finding
of the gun and money is in line-wti•tll.
the police theory — that the bandits
drove to Teesw-ater. The scene of the
discovery is on the line of flight from
Brussels to Teeswaater, The cut-off
route w'as presumably taken to avoid
;ping through Wintg'ha'm's maim
street.
Charge Dismissed, — For lack of
ufficient evidence the criminal leg-
'igen'ce charge ,against Allan Mac

by Magistrate Reid at Belgrave. The

Horse Rescued.—L'as't week a horse

a Concrete enclosed tank used for
wlas'hing loges at Baechler's •mill, Goid-
erieh„There is about six fee:t,of wat-
er ate this tank and the horse had no
,way ,of getting out unassisted. Some-
body hit upon the idea of calling an
auto wrecker. I.n the absence of a
proper. "sling” tlilis idea did not work
out just Fight. Finally a temporary
ramp .was built and the horse rescued
with only slight injury to the beast.
The horse was one .of a team and
had been driven too close to the
tank.
Barn Near Milverton Burned. --A
large barn and straw shed on the
Farm of Henry Sage, cotrcession 6,
.Mornin'gton, were totally, destroyed
iby• fire on the night of August 25th.
(Loss is estimated at $6,000. Tile large
red 'brick house on the farm, which
is unoccupied. was also d'is'covered
eo be burning, Volunteer firemen sav-
ed• the house alter considerable dam-
age had been done. Henry Sage. the
owner, lives across the road. About a
year ago the house which is now vac-
ant, was occupied. A large crowd of
spectators from the surrounding cam -
:nullity gathered but could give no as-
sistance. A few- intimates later some-
one discovered that the house was on
fire. Investigation showed that the
fire had started inside and general
opinion is that it could not have
'been slanted by sparks from the
(burning barn. With the barn and
straw shed, the loss of which is part-
ly covered by insurance, 40 tons of
hay and 1300, bushels of grain were
also destroyed, along with about 60
hens and one pig. A sleigh, cutter,
cultivator and buggy were also lost.
Wasps Route Carpenter.—The car-
penters, Charles Eckensariller and
Jim H•arkley, of Mount Forest, en-
gaged in shingling the Walkerton
High School, had an experience Fri-
day last, which they do not care to
repeat. While engaged' in tearing off
the old shingles, they ran . foul of a
wasp's nest and soon the angry in-
sects were upon them by the score.
Lim diel an Irish jig atop the. ridge-
pole while Charlie 'citing to the roof
as best he could and swatted' the
attackers. 'They soon managed' to get
oat of range, but not .before the fiery
insects head connected for quite a
number of safe hits on face, avers
a'nid legs. The first engagement : was
ell in favor of the wasps but later the
carpenters armed with a patent. 'btig-
kkiller routed the enesn.y and the ham-
mers are once again tapping merrily.
To fight angy wasps on a steep roof
is a ticklish undertaking and these
men do sot care to repeat the stunt.

HOW 'I10. SELECT SEED
POT'A'TOES
'(IExperimenita'l Far•mis 'N'ote)'
Selecting the seed is one of the
most important factons in successful
potato culture; unifortu'nately, far too
mlany farmers seem to neglect this
point.
At ;the. Dosnittion Exlperimentat Sea-.
tion at. St. Ainne • de la Pocatiere,
march importance is attached to sel-
ecting the seed tubers, trea'ting with
•forma+tin and cutting inito sets. Nettl-
ing that will insure a good yield of
soiled' tubers .is neglected, for it is
not enough to have a big crop, but
good tubers which are easy to keep
must be selected.
:There are generally three ways of
selectingthe seed:
'1. Putting, aside a certain quantity
of tubers in the spring.
2. ,Choosing the nicest part of a
field.
3. Selecting foundation seed in is-
olated hills.
IThe first method is the most popu-
lar, which does not mean that it is the
best, as its ad'o'ption is due to the law
of minimum effort rather than its re-
sults, Pt cansislbs in pu'ttin'g -aside in
a corner' of the cellar in the spring,
a certain quantity of Wirers corres-
ponding approximately to the area
which is' to be planted.
The secpn'd method is followed by
a fair number of .potato planters who
wish 'to succeed, and it is more logi-
cal. than the first, The nicest part of
'the :field is chosen for the future seed
and all diseased plants are removed.
