Duty Before Pleasure
In the suburbs of the great city of
London England, ' stands many rows
of houses; all being somewhat similar.
l'a
,one of these cottages in particu-
lar let us turn our attention. It is as
Poorly built as the others but every-
thing possible has been doieedte fix it
up and make it look more cheerful.

so doing his share in brightening his

plain. There is just the one room.
containing two tables, :abench and
several' chairs. A bright picture hangs
on the wall and :a red: cloth adorns
one of the tablesa
•
Presently the c'loor opens and a
young man comes in who has evident-
ly been working in a factory. tiOn
his shoulder a small boy' is gaily rid-
ing and tugging at his arm 'to attract
his attention is a little girl. The
mother comes to meet them and .they
talk together of the days experiences.
After they have finished their meagre
• meal, Marjorie the little girl and her
brother. Bobby, go out to play. For
sometime :their parents talk together,
p
suddenly looking up they behold a
small dripping figure standing in
front of them. Marjorie, for this is
who it is, tearfully explains how it
happened and how she had accidently
fallen into the river and how Bobbie
had managed to pull her•out. ` Mean-
while she has begun to shiver and her
mother . quickly,; undresses her and
puts her to bed, only to remain by
the bedeide all night ,for Marjorie's
fever rises and she tosses about until
nearly morning- when she finally falls
aslcel.
In one of the 'better residential dis-
tricts not far from where Marjprie
lives, stands an old fashioned stone
house. : Everything about it from the
well kept . lawn at the front to the
beautiful garden at the back'. of the
house indicates prosperity, >Dr, Rue
therford, whose name can be seen on
the bright brass sign at'the front has
been livinghere for many. years. He
is one of the best doctors in the dis-
trict, and he has an extensive practise.
One day about five o'clock the doc-
tor comes hurriedly into" the House
from the round of daily calls, which
he is in the habit of making, His
friend Mr. Stanhope has asked him
to 'go to a grand concert this evening
to hear a celebrated Prima Donna,
who is to sing in Albert Hall. As he
is just about to start out with his
friend a little boy comes running tip
to him and breathlessly` asks hint if
he will come up and see . his sister;
please, who is: very ill and. has sud-
denly taken worse. The doctor bur•
riedly makes his decision and tells -the
boy that he Will come directly . and he
then again goes' in the house for hie
medical bag.
Mr. Stanhope is .annoyed and won-
ders why. Doctor Rutherford should
leave :this concert which he has been

it was difficult to decide which pro-

The Scotch won by one point but
both leaders are to be congratulated

HURON' COUNTY AGRICULTURAL CLASS AT BRUSSELS

Canadian eggs. Bet he dial not int„n-
tion either, that they W reir r united,
and, as a consequence, the consumer
bought a quality she did not want.”
The unsteady movements in''the
prices of e , si during February acid
l
March, Mr. Wilford states, are 'due
in large measure to the importation
of. Americas- eggs, for sale in Cana-
dian consuming centres. 3viost of the
Border Cities consumers, he xiain-
tains are not aware of this' fact, and
if the produce does not come up to
the known standard of the Canadian
article, the householder decides
against eggs in' general until the
quality case be assured.
The answer is in demanding Cana-
dian produced eggs, Mr.': Wilford
says. If : the consumer asks for Ca-
nadian eggs, and he thinks that the
Canadian produce should be given the
preference on' the home market, then
Canadian eggs he or she will get.
And the quality can always be count -
case, separate arta an from e ed upon to be of the best, Mr. Wil
consumer which is which.
In some few cases, this is already
done, he states, but the practice is
by no means general: He mentioned
a case or two, in which the breakfast
delicacy, when placed on the table,
was far too offending to be consid-
ered a delicacy, and some diligent
research brought to light the fact
that the eggs had been imported from
across the river.
"The retailer who sold these eggs."
said Mr. Wilford, "did not break any
law. He did not tell his customers
that the eggs were strictly fresh
There is a move on foot now, Mr.
Wilford states, to provide warehouse
facilities for the egg producers of
Western Ontario, which,, will enable
them to operate through the dealers
of the Border Cities to the largest
possible markets: This system, it is
t±fought, will not only afford the
benefits. 'of collective marketing,' but
will also provide protection in the
way of Gevernment grading ;regula
tion. .This plan, however, - will not
be put into effect until production
increases sufficiently to warrant such
a move.
Andrew McKague is Dead -
Just as we go to press, we learn
with regret that Mr. Andrew Mc-
Kague the well-known and highly es-
teemed cattle buyer of Culross town-
ship has passed away. He was, in his
63rd year. The funeral will be held
on Saturday afternoon to Wingham
Cemetery.
