Zurich Herald, 1938-11-17, Page 7Strong Men! God give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith And ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor; men who will not lie. Salesmanship is a great art: Mrs. Brown (to grocery clerk)—"Can you pick me a melon that will be just right for breakfast in the morn- ing?" Quick Clerk -- "I surely can. What time?" Edith — `.`Don't you ever get: Johnnie and. Bill confused?" Ruth - "Yes, another, I get Johnnie confused one night and Bill the next." Speakinp of pioneer hard- ships, many people yet living can remember when they toasted their bread on a fork over the fire, and even had to cut the slices themselves. "How do you like this shaving soap?" asked the talkative bar- ber. The submerged customer re- plied, faintly: "Excellent. You must come and have lunch with me sometime," Said the circus proprietor to the lion tamer: "What do you mean by going off to din- ner and leaving the cage un- fastened? , Anybody might have nipped in and taken the lion !" "How did George break his leg?" "Well, do you see those steps over there?" ayes." "George didn't." Toronto Baby Rated Genius Eighteen -months -old Lillian May Robson of Toronto is a claimant to the title of infant prodigy. Dr. Alan Brown, Toronto child special- ist says the child "is definitely in the genius class." Lillian, brown -eyed daughter of Ukrainian parents, last week gave an example of her skill by spelling .out each letter of a front-page news- papre headline with clearness and confidence. She named a dozen ob- jects in English and Ukrainian without a mistake. Her first interest in the English alphabet dame when she askbd about the letters on a set of build- ing blocks. Her mother named the letters and was surprised a few days later to hear Lillian repeating them with perfect accuracy. Within a mouth the baby knew the English alphabet and now picks them out with unfailing accuracy no matter where they are. Dr. Brown says such intelligence in a child of 18 months was "very unusual." Scrumptious Scorpions Diyarbekir, near Istanbul (Tur- key), was troubled for years by a plague of scorpions. Tahir Baba came along, began to scoop up scorpions and' eat them. Said Tally: "They taste like shrimps." Husband Gives Up Cave Mrs. Anne Thavis who last week married Alfred Stables, Coiling - wood's "Blue Mountain" hermit. She has persuaded her husband to stop living in a cave where he ate berries, rabbits, vegetables. 1 Farm Column (Conducted by Professor Henry G. Bell with the co-operation of the various departments of the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph.) 1. Q. -Sonne of my neighbours have been asking a lot of ques- tions since you grew the oats and barley plots in the county last summer, and I am going to pass the questions on to you. "What do you think are the best kind of oats for our conditions in Ontario ?"-J. W., Durham Co. A. -Modern investigation of crop varieties indicates the imposs- ibility of naming one variety of our standard crops as the best for all conditions. In co-operation with other institutions, the Field Husbandry Department of the 0. A. C. is dividing the province into climatic and soil zones for which different varieties appear to be specially suited. According to tests conducted in your own local- ity, this year, Erban Oat seems to be outstandingly superior to Alaska, Banner or 0. A. C. 72 for your section. 2. Q. -Will fertilizers increase the weight of the bushel of grain_? -J. W., Durham Co. A. -Fertilizers will distinctly in- crease weight per measured bushel of grain. In tests on your own farm, the maximum increase this year,. is 8,5 lbs, per bushel, and the minimum .increase about 1 lb, per bushel. 3. Q. ---"Which of the oats made the most grain feed to the - acre?" -J, W,, Durham Co, A, -The Field Husbandry Dept.. publishes a five year average per cent, hull of the oat varieties tested on your farm this fall as follows: Alaska -27.3 per cent. hull, Erban-29.8 per cent. hull, Banner -32 per cent. hull. O.A.C. 72-29.4 per cent. hull. It is clear that the variety which gave the largest yield of compare tively low per cent. hull, is the one that will produce, the largest amount of actual feed per acre. This is Erban oats which yielded as an average unfertilized 67.8 bus. per acre, and fertilized 76,2 bushels per acre. If you multiply. the yield per acre by the weight per bushel, which was 32 lbs., and subtract the weight of hull, which was 27.8 per cent. you will have the approximate weight of grain feed produced. Of course, the oat hulls contain a small amount of feed in addition. 4. Q. -"Why did you choose 0-12-010 fertilizer for our field?" -J. W., Durham Co. A. -Actual soil test of samples from your oat field showed it to ' be Medium in Available' Nitrogen; Low in Phosphate and Low in Pot- ash. For • this reason we chose 0-12-10 as the fertilizer for oats; and applied it at 150 lbs. per acre. What Science * Is Doing *_ MORE SENSITIVE TO SUN Gentlemen are like blondes. They are 20 per cent. more sensi- tive to ultra -violet rays, which cause sunburn, than are women. Blondes are from 40 to 170 per cent. more sensitive than brunets.

Careful investigation and the use of local anaesthesia often re- veals that what appears. to be pain Springing from a major ailment is in reality only superficial. It follows that proper determination of the pain's source would obviate many operations performed be- cause of faulty diagnosis, -0- LAST TO GO TO ,SLEEP Medical theory has held that unconsciousness begins in the brain of human beings, But ex- periments show that in white rats it develops just the opposite way, near the tail and creeps toward the head, The head is the last part to lose its sensitivity to touch and the eyes close only after the rest of the body is soundly asleep and un- responsive even to pinching. After the rat experiments are completed it is proposed to carry on the experiments with higher animals. AGENTS H'ANT ED AGENTS -SELL MEN'S NECKTIES. 140% profit. We curry largest as- sortment.

Ample food is provided for them, much of it through trees like the red cedar. Its blue berry has a seed highly nourishing to the feathered feeders. In addition to their food value for the birds, the trees with their golden foliage are a definite at- traction to the many human visit- ors to the bird refuge. Their varie- ty is such that every kind of bird is found on the sanctuary which crosses the Southern Ontario area.

Whitey is introduced to everyone in the Town and immediately takes a dislike to Mo Kahn (Sidney Miller) whom he accuses of poking his big nose into things. Whitey sneers at everything, particularly at the appealing statue of the boy at the gates who represents the generous spirit of the place. He hasn't the heart to be mean to little Pee -wee but simply ignores him. "I'll give you odds I leave." Father FIanagan'calls Whitey into his office that afternoon and casually asks him what he thinks of the place. Whitey tells him flatly that he's on his way any time. Father Flanagan challenges the statement, informing Whitey that he has a hunch he's going to want to stay there. But secretly he is uneasy. If Whitey should go, be will be the first boy that he has ever lost. "Nicest teeth I've ever seen, Pee -wee." Dave Morris (Henry Hull) Father Flanagan's friend and financial adviser, now enters the office with the banker, Burton. There's a lot of red ink being carried on the statement and an accounting is called for. But )Father Flanagan takes care of the'lnaportant matters first, such as seeing whether Pee -wee has really brushed his teeth so that he can have his daily ration of candy. "This stuff is baby food." Whitey is walking toward the big gates when Father Flanagan sees him from his office window. He thinks fast. Suddenly he runs out, and orders the dinner gong to be rung an hour earlier. And so it is that Whitey's empty stotnach rather than any liking for the place brings him back. He is a little annoyed though with the milk. Iles been used to beer. Read the next dramatic episode.
