Stewart Bros., Agents, Seaforth SEVEN YEARS -1920 This year I spent in Formosa, where we had no need to ask for rain. But the little company in Sas- katchewan were tested again. The fields on the plain were very poor. The weather had been too dry to fill the grain, and it was ripening .already. But the grain on the moun- tain was ranker, or later, and it was still within hope. The little Sabbath School. took earnest hold for rain that afternoon. 'They also appointed a week evening for another time of prayer. They invited others to join them on that Wednesday evening, and a good re- presentative gathering assembled. In another quarter, another prayer aneetiag had been announced for the same evening, but the minister and the man who had proposed the meet- ing were the only two present. There ware only "two" not "three" but the Covenant cry went up. On the next day, Thursday, there was a tremendous thunder storm which amply did the work for these i praying people. ANNIE ROSS. Strasbourg, Sask. 'WHY NOT MAKE YOUR OWN FUEL FOR NEXT WINTER FROM NEWSPAPERS? Which would you sooner do next fall, winter or spring? Sit in front of a grate fire and toast your toes with coal that has cost you anywhere -from fifteen to twenty dollars a ton .er with wood that has cost you real money, or would you care to warm rap with a fuel that you can make yourself with a little work and patience. The writer got his tip out of The Star Weekly a few years ago, and bas been making this fuel ever since, and has not had to buy any wood for kitchen heater or grate since. The past winter was certainly an exceptional one all over the country es far as cold weather is concerned, and along -with the high price of coal and the scarcity thereof it may inter- est some people to know how to cut clown on fuel cost, that is, as far as a kitchen heater or an open grate are concerned. This fuel burns brightly, gives off an excellent heat, throws no sparks, burns to a iin4 white ash, and gives off but very little smoke. Thinking that•perhaps others Would like to try this out, as the tools" required are very simple and the materials used are thrown away -by the ton every day by ,householders all over the country, the following instructions will show how the preparation is made. To begin with, all waste paper such as newspapers, etc., sawdust, coal dust, or anything that will pulp up and burn is used. An old discarded bathtub is used ,by me, being filled half full of wet- ter; then take and unfold your news- papers so they will pulp easily, and with a cedar post about three feet long and say about four inches in diameter studded with nails on the end so as to• tear the palter in the process of meshing. A handle is nailed across the top so a better grip can be had. Fill up the bath, old wash boiler or whatever you are mixing in with paper, and then keep mashing until the macs has been reduced to a pulp, and ]keep adding more paper until the mass is quite thick; then you can add coal dust or sawdust for good measure. Then the pulp is transferred to a box having a wire screen bottom, which sets over another old boiler or some such receptacle, and allowed to drain for a time. Then it can be squeezed by hand into balls about the size of a snow- ball or can be pressed into bricks, us- ing a simple press and form. In winter these can be dried on top of your furnace or along the smoke - pipe and in summer you can put them in the attic or along the rafters of your garage, where the heat of the sun on the roof dries them very quickly. For anyone who has more or less time to spare and who is not afraid of a little work, they will find it profitable, and a good feature about it is that the material that would otherwise be wasted is used up. The best results are obtained by using a small amount of kindling in starting the fire. THE WESTERN FAIR London, Ont. September 8th to 15th The Western Fair from a Live Stock stand point is one or the best Exhibitions held. London situated as it is, in the centre of the garden of Canada, all Live Stock Breeders and Exhibitors always report plenty of sales of their animals on exhibition at London. The boys and girls calf feeding competition will again be a feature in the Live Stock Depart- ment. The judging competition will also be continued. Additional com- petition will also be continued. Ad- ditional ground has been purchased and two sections of the cattle farms moved. This will give a large amount of extra room for judging, etc. If a prize list is required send the Sec- retary a post card and one will be mailed at once.

THE KAWARTHA LAKES The Kawartha Lakes -600 feet above the level of Lake Ontario and within 125 miles of Toronto are a- mong the most popular of Ontario's summer playgrounds. The Indian name of the district means "Bright Waters and Happy Lands." Here the vacationist will find un- limited opportunity for sailing, canoe- ing, motor -boating, bathing and fish- ing, together with excellent hotel ac- commodation. The very air perftlm- ed with pine and balsam is a tonic. The larger lakes of the district provide fine bass, maskinonge and salmon trout fishing, while the small- er lakes abound with speckled trout. Descriptive booklet with map of the district may be obtained free from any agent Canadian National Rail- ways. IMPORTANT POINTS IN SILO CONSTRUCTION In a pamphlet issued by the Do- minion Department of Agriculture, dealing with "Silage and Silo Con- struction for the Maritime Pro- vinces," some i cardinal require- ments are laid down which are ap- plicable everywhere in the construc- tion of silos. Setting nut with the proviso that well constructed walls and foundations are the essentials of any ''silo, and that if these are strong, straight, smooth, preferably circu- lar, and air -tight, it is a good silo, the- requirements are summarized as follows: Strength—The walls must be strong enough to withstand heavy pressure from within when filled, and heavy wind strain from without when empty. Straight—The walls must be straight and true to insure even set - 18 Ilat , pF�`aA 119ulitti}? ea' ' poll►ft `fin eia t i,a siatgi(� eyxfeCo � th13 ntitiplp` 1eakents.

Outsell, of 122 St. Johns Road, Toronto. Read Mrs. Gutsell's remarkable state- ment. "For thepast two years myhus- band has suffered from constiation and stomach tuoubles. His food dis- agreed ,with him; gas would bloat him up and he had severe, sharp pains in the pit of his stomach. He felt as though he was smothering at times, what with the gas pressing against his heart, a condition that caused considerableedistress. "He had pains through his back and limbs. Dizzy spells would often come over him so bad that he felt as if he would topple over if he didn't sit down. He was nervous and couldn't rest well and could hardly keep at his work at times. Since taking two bottles of Dreco he has improved in every way. His food digests much better and his bow- els are getting regulated. He feels more rested and sleeps fine. He is looking more like himself again and I am certainly glad, because his con- dition has been a great source of worry to me. No previous medicine seemed to give any results, although we had spent hundreds of dollars try- ing to find aid for him. "We are only too glad to tell peo- ple of the great merit of Dreco." Sincere testimonials from respons- ible people are behind every state- ment made on behalf of Dreco. The undeniable.merit of this great remedy wins friends for it every day. Com- pounded solely from herbs, roots, bark and leaves of known medicinal value, Dreco tones and regulates the organs of digestion and relieves dis- tressing symptoms caused by their faulty functioning. This reliable cor- rective contains no mercury, potash or habit forming drugs. It will help the most obstinate case. Dreco is being specially introduced in Seaforth by Chas. Aberhart, and is sold by a good druggist everywhere. How is it that when a prize fighter has been knocked out in the ring ha generally turns evangeli§t?=Milver- ton Sun.

ILLUSTRIUS RULERS HAD THEIR HOBBIES 1n the New York Times Magazine, James C. Young writes entertaining- ly upon some of the hobbies of kings from ancient times to our own days. The passion of King George V for postage stamps was brought to the attention of his subjects not long ago at a great stamp exhibition in London. He expressed his regret that a certain stamp in the posses- sion of a noted American collector had not fallen to his own lot; where- upon the Arilerican courteously asked the King to accept the stamp as a gift. He declined, but said he would exchange one of his own treasures for it, and the bargain was made. The King began his collection `long ago and has built it up until it is recognized as one of the best in the world, and the King himself is ac- cepted as an authority upon certain. stamps .It is said that many times in the course of the war the only way the King could find mental distrac- tion was to get out some of his stamp albums. Wing -shooting was another hobby of his, and it was said that he was one of the finest shots in England. Racing was the relaxation of King Edward. One of the most curious abandon- ments to a hobby on the part of a King is that recorded of Charles V of Germany. He flourished in the sixteenth century and was one of the greatest potentates of his time. IIe fought France to a standstill and established his sway over Flandeers and Italy.. His ambition was even- tually to rule Europe, but and when he saw that it would be impossible for him to satisfy this craving he abdicated in favor of his brother and entered a monastery, renouncing the glories and pleasures of the world. But it was not long before he•became restless. He had lived too long in the stirring world of affairs to be content with a life of idleness, but he felt that he would make himself slightly ridiculous if he 1 t the monastery. In this crisisef h'. affairs he noted that.a clock in 6t chamber failed to keep time, and he occupied himself in setting it to rights. He then ob- served that it did not exactly corres- pond with another clock, so he fixed the other. Gradually his interest in clocks spread until he had examined and reg- ulated every clock in the institution. Then he sent outside, and having pro- vided himself with a workroom and all the tools available, he devoted himself for the future tb mending clocks. He must have become very expert, for it is said that toward the last he had 100 clocks, and that his ambition was to make them all keep perfect time. He used to rise at night and steal into the room where his clocks were kept examining them anxiously by the light of a candle to see that none had missed or gained al tick since he had left them for the ' day. A somewhat similar craze seized Louis XVI of France, whose passion was for old locks. He was a fair carpenter, but his skill with locks was remarkable, and courtiers learn- ed that the best of all ways for them to recommend themselves to their royal master was to find some ancient and intricate lock and present it to him. When absorbed in the mystery of a lock he would net permit any affairs of state to interfere with his hobby, and there are stories of the passionate Mirabeau finning while he waited hour after hour for a confer- ence with the lock -crazed monarch. Many if ' not the 'majority of French monarchs have been colorful personalities whose hobbies were those of less eminent folk of like tem- perament,'with the addition that they could gratify fancies which with oth- ers never found expression in action. Such, for instance, wet, Charles i3:, son of Catharine of \fedicis. His reign was' short but merry. One of his favorite diversion, was to go out. with a hand of like-minded blades and make trouble for the watch. They would invade private homes, often by means of roof and window, and par- take of whatever enjoment was tor - PAL RIINC1ESS SLAP FILA\ 1< JES Made in Canada 1904 The Wm-. ing^ fine -fart, +ts removed. ` fi�titt ddb f with hill confidence tl a be harmed, Pr delicate.
