Now Wroxeter, in the same county, is asking permission to become part of lfowick township, the ,316 residents being willing to lose their separate identity for the benefit of participating in.the rural hydro grant. Bayfield had an assessed val- uation of $2oo,000 and a debenture debt . of $1,327, while Wroxeter has an assessment of $142,00a and a debt of over $8,000. 1 It is difficult to see where the ad- vantage lies in maintaining separate corporate existence in such small] communities, Unless the place is growing, civic pride is liable to lan- guish. There is • little hope for in- stalling a waterworks system: or in ut `making or maintaining such public ad improvements as fare usually` required, is, while a certain amount of unnecessary expense is involvedi in keeping up local government. They are rarely acceptable even as localities to which farmers may retire, for other mnem hers. of the family have probably gone to. larger places, and the older ones will follow when the time comes.

If you take a young bird from Its nest when it is quite small, and sue - peed, itt rearing it, you will find that it often shows signs of jealousy, says Oliver G. Pike, P.Z.S., in Tit -Bits. T once possessed a wonderful little jackdaw, This bird would follow 'ate everywhere, sitting on Any shoulder, or hying around use ivixsn I went for long walks. It would sit on my wrist while I was typing, or go to sleep on the bar of the, typewriter, taking. no notice of the jerking of the carriage. Once it, woke up when a. particularly big jerk occurred, and retaliated by ripping the typed sheet to ribbons. It would sleep for hours while I was developing in my dark room, us- ually sitting on. my shoulder or wrist, but I had to watch it carefully, for on such occasions it usually develop- ed a thirst and would make a dive at my chemicals. This 'jackdaw would tolerate the other members of .the household, With the exception of- my youngest; son. I never understood why it dis- liked him, but It would chase him round the garden, into the house, and do its best to drive him away. Strange children it objected to great- ly. Some noisy girls once passed the house, and it followed them for nearly a mile, darting at them, and calling loudly all the time. For four years this delightful lit- tle • bird entertained us, then died through greediness. It entered the kitchen while the cook was taking a dish of hot' cakes from the oven. It snatched a big piece off one, and swallowed it before it realised it was scalding hot. A. " few years ago a pair of rare birds that had not previously nested in England arrived on a lake near my home. • A few weeks later the' built a nest, but all the other birds on the lake, resident species, seemed to object to the strangers. However, the pair of eared grebes managed to complete .their home, and five eggs were laid. The hen had not been sitting for more than a week when a moorhen discovered her. The latter' awaited her opportunity, .and during tthq absence of the'ewner raided the nest and devoured' the eggs. The eared grebe makes it a rule when leaving her nest to cover the eggs. with : water weeds,' but the moorhen saw through the ruse, pull- ed the covering off, and carried out her robbery. A week later the grebes began to build another nest in the thickest part of, the reed -bed. One would have thought they wculd have been safe there, but a dabohick dis- covered them and did her utmost to destroy the nest. The eared grebes had, however, learnt their lesson, and one •bird al- ways remained on guard. The dab - chick, not to be daunted, attacked the sitting bird several times. ,I saw two exciting fights, • but each time he eared grebes drove the enemy away, and eventually succeeded in earing their young. On a neighboring lake a pair of eat -crested grebes wanted to neat a sheltered corner. A pair of oots had their nest there, and they were equally determined that the grebes should not take up their uarters near them. The grebes eventually built their nest, but when was passing the spot one morning, my appearance caused the grebe tet leave her eggs, whereupon the wait- ing coots immediately jumped on to it, threw the eggs into the water, and}quickly pulled the nest to pieces. counties; I don't belave ye cud swill yer dinner widout mixin up pollytick wid it." • I had hiin in a toight box an h knew= it, but. whin Ye come to tink a� it ye kin hev bootleggin iii ivityting If a girrul shtales another girrul's fel lap to take her for a droive, 'tis boot - leggin she is; if a :fellah peddles tings al -round town in opposition to mer- chants who pay taxes, 'tis bootleggin; whin the Grits wint shwimuiin in the Tory I'rotiction, shivirnmin hole an the U.F.O.'s came along an shtole theer clothes, 'twos a forrunm of boot - leggin; and whin a fellah throies to make money buyin arr sellin shtocks he nivir owned, 'tis bootleggin.

Many firms have started with small capitals, but surely the smallest is half a pound of tobacco; It seems Incredible, yet that small amount of tobacco• popularised. the cigarette habit in the Old Country and built up a great industry. A poverty-stricken Russian fled --- a refugee—from his homeland to London forty-five years ago. He was Abraham Drapkin, the cigarette pio- neer, who died recently. Other Rus- sians, equally' poor, fled with him, and for a living they began to make cigarettes at a time when the ready- made article was almost unknown in England. Young Drapkin bought,, with al- most his last coins, half a pound of tobacco, making his cigarettes by hand and teaching the 'trade to his friends. They had to gum a piece of parchment to the table on whieh to roll the tobacco, and, fearing their landlord would object, worked with thed or locked, ock ed.
