ILe;Edrnienton Journal, no doubt, withh misSionary zeal, has under- * the enlightenment of the more gnerant sections of the populace on hese particulars, and here is the re- a•ultt of the effeet. Lowly Person This is a very lowly person who •throws the first pair of rocks., He is • supposed to thank the Deity once a day in his prayers that he even ex- ist% let alone is allowed to play at • bonspiel time. All curlers have serv- • ed this period of apprenticeship and .it is a remarkable fat .that 90 per cent. of the= have . never served long ,enough. He always arldres,ses, the eldp as "Sir" and the third men as o'Mr." This lead is expected to see that the four .pairs of rocks belong- ing to his rink are on the ice and cleaned five minutes before the game starts. He must do net less, that 75 per cent. of the sweeping. He is expected to keep ...the skip supplied with cigarettes and to purchase at least one battle of -Scotch essence per diem. This is to be consumed by the rest of, the rink and the skips of the defeated rinks on that day. He is not erven allowed over the hog line except when sweeping. He is not expected to haVe "any use for any alibis. 'His curling must be :perfect or he is blamed for the less of all games in which his rink suffers de- feat. The may tell the second man what he thinks of the skip, but no one else. After many years he be- comes a skip, if he survives the sar- casm of his associates. One Degree Higher This person is but one' degree re- moved from the lead. He is expected to do 15 per cent. of the sweeping. • He also, as the lead, is expected to keep the skip supplied with cigar- ettes and the third man with match- es. He must on all occasions get - the rock he was to lick out, other- wise he is blamed for loss of all •'games. His chief duty is to see that the lead does not forget to purchase the bottle for the day and in cases of emergency to assist the lead in financing the purchase of this article. He is the one who is allowed to in- sult the lead, the third and skip con- sidering it beneath their dignity to address either of themin conversa- titan except in cases of apparent ov- ersight to ask "where's the bottle?" Class Of His Own This gentleman is in a class by laiarself, always. He could skip the rink—in fact he always could skip it far better than the skip doing, the job now. Be assumes an air of authority 'end superiority over all leads and seconds and of mere con- descension to his skip. He does the remaining 10 per cent. of the sweep- ing. He holds the broom for the skip to shoot and invariably tells the skip that he should have tried the ishot he, the third man; had chosen and not the one he, the skip, had just missed. • He is the person who uses the chalk for putting up all points made by his side (if any). He gives the skip the occasional cigarette, lends him a match and gives him a lot of unsolicited advice and gener- ally embarrasses and (befuddles the skip as much as possible, so when the game ie lost he can say with some apparent justification that he should be skipping. This is the highest co-mpliment you' can pay a third man, that he should be the skip. They ad- mit it always, but they labor on with an air of- martyrdom in the good of the cause. His principal qualifica- tion is being able to suggest what brand the lead should purchase for "the. day's consrunuption. He is ex- pected to be very choosey and see that nothing but the best grades are procured. He, on occasion, can offer faint words of praise if the skip by superhuman effort has pulled the end out of a mess. He never, no, never admits that his rocks have •been mis- played by 'himself. His work is al- ways perfection. If there has been a lapse, it is the fault of the sweep- ers, or gross misjudgment on the part of the skip. The Sportsman He is the gentleman sportsman who gate up the rink, often sacrificing va- luable time to the interests and en- tertainment of the three other curlers who wish to play in the bonspiel. He does none of the sweeping. He mere- ly holds the broom and his own tern - per while the rest of the rink miss the one and strain the other. He is supposed to be experienced and make all decisions. He meet, keep a stiff, upper lip and not Mush when he av erhears the reetsof the rink giving his character Fading to various on- lookers. If, in the case of pure acci- .. W.

Auto Accident Causes Death of Girl Citizens of Crediton and commun- ity were shocked when they learned of the sudden death <Esther Eilber, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Eilber,• of 'Crediton, caused by an auto accident, near Detroit Thursday after- noon, January 24th. ' Aceo g to information receivIC ed Miss Ether was killed instamtly at Burger, • -mile road near 'Detroit. The car in whieh she was iding, driven by Mr. Jasper, was making a right turn when an- other car driven by Depute -Sheriff Wilson, of Do,a,kland 'County, collided with the car. Dearth was d'ue to a fractured skull. Wilson died since the accident while Mr. Jasper had see- eral ribs broken and other bodily in- juries, both cars, were badly wrecked. Miss Eilber 'went to Buchannon, Mich., in, 1924, where she attended high ;school freml which she graduat- ed in 1926.. After graduation she went in training at Grace Hospital, Detroit, graduating in 1929, follow- ing that profession in the city of De- troit until her sadden death. As a nurse she was very proficient and skilled. 'Her services were appreciat- ed by those to whom she so patient- ly ministered. - Exeter TimessAdvo- cate. Corn, The Old Reliable Standby (Continued from Page 2) in the ,ground was tried and proved very successful if the ground wee high ancl dry, but if it was inclined to be wet and epringy, the water soured the feed and spoiled the food value very much. ']hen square silos were , built out of wood and some from cement and gravel. Then later the idea of round silos made out of plank' was tried. These, proved very tsatitsflaciary until they • ddsayed nt the foundation. Their worts enemy to -day is the heavy gales that twist these cribs when they are empty, very often throwing them down with much damage, causing much expense in re -erecting, etc. Now concrete has come to the front as the ideal material to erect a silb with. If clean gritty gravel is used, a mixture of one part cement to sev- en of gravel will make a first-class; wall, if 'properly mixed. Wooden' ferms were used in the earlier days to hold the concrete' 'together until it set, but to -day steel, forms are used altogether. The steel leaves the wall smooth when removed which allows the insilage to settle nicer and as well is a wall that will not blow down and should last a farmer, his life- time. One of these silos will cost from $150 up to $200, according to the fluctuating costs of the materials us- ed�t is hardly possilble to figure the cbst of building to the lowest dollar until the job is completed. Howeeer, to get down to the Oottoin of it ,all, it is a safe gamfaie to. ay the least, that with hay and roues grains at the present market pee. a $200 silo will just pay for itself in the first yeas: First, in the preserva- tion of the succule-nt value of the fod- der pieced in it over the shocking method on a 10 -acre field' of corn; 2nd, by the saving of grains and hays grown on the farm for sale • or through the production of pork and eggs instead of through the cattle. It might be of interest to some of our readers to know that our friend, Premier 'Heplburn, had a nice acre- age of 90 acres planted to corn last year, of which most of it was stored in •silos in the fall. He knows his business as a farmer. And if yen are going to make that farm pay and have a silo, by all means plant enough corn to be sure and fill it. If you don't own one, stop the leaks by erecting one this year. HURON CO. FARMER. Sore Throat • LA cornmon experience of life is to endure the pain end inconvenience caused by a sore throat. All ages and both sexes are app to suffer. The adult who has been smoking too much or who has neglected the simple rules of healthy living may, under such circueustances, find that this throat is sore. Sore throat may mean in- flamrmation of the tonsils'pharynx or larynx. There is a constant inclin- ation to swallow. In the acute cases, there is some fever, headache and general discomfort. As adults, we show no hesitation in complaining when our throats are sore, and as adults too we are very likely to forget that young children do not usually complain when their throats are sore. Yet it is the some throat of a young child which is of real' importance, Ilsircause this may antark the onset of a serious condi- tion The sore throats of children are discovered by the doctor whe, as a matter of routine, examines the throats of all children who come un- der his care. 'Many inflamed throats .subside and return to normal without any further trouble. Others are fol- lowed by complications as the acute inflatarniation spree& from throat to ear or bronchial tubes, leading to a chronic intlantmation unless properly treated. The two most imPortant conditions whileh inlay follow upon sere throat in children: are nephritis and rheu- matic fever. Nephritis comes prompt- ly under medical care becatlee it de- mands attention through the appear- ane.e of blood ii the urine or the amffinese of the face.

Read what he says -1 "Pwo years tgo I suffered very much from indigestion, loss of appe- tite, and a most severe pain in my back. Food soured ia my stomach. I felt most miserable after meals, and had no -desire or appetite for them. A friend advised me to try Kruschen Salts. I did so, and I am most happy to testify that after a short time I felt the greatest relief. 11 continued taking Kruschen till I felt myself quite better and a new man.

The fact is that "the little daily close" of Kruschen first stimulates the flow ef gastric juices to aid digestion, and then ensures a, complete, regular and unfailing+ elinottnation of all waste matter every day. likely to come under medical • care promptly. The danger which accompanies sore throats is not in proportion to the severity of the throat condition. The mildly -sore throat, may mark the be- ginning of rheumatic fever which is so' serious because of the damage done to the heart in Many cases. 'Mere is only one safe way to deal with these cases, and that is, first of all, to find out the condition of the throat of. any child who is unwell. If the throat is inflamed, the child should be isolated and kept in bed until his temperature is normal, and then watched, during the following month, to make certain that there are no comIplications.

PARTICULARLY GOOD LIQUID POSITION The Dominion Bank 64th Annual Report; Interest Bearing Deposits Higher. The 64th Annual Statement of The Dominion Bank presented to the an- nual meeting of the shareholders on Wednesday, January 30th, contains several notalble features. The Bank's liquid position is particularly strong, the ratio of its Immediately Avail- able Assets to Public Liabilities is 61.02 per cent., earning show a slight advance over a year ago and deposits have increased by over $2,500,000. An analysis of the statement in greater detail .shows improvement in practically every division of the Bank's activities. .Circula,tion. at 3C&3 has has expanded during the year by Gver $400,000. To:.a.1 deposits are $98,269,160 com- pared with $915,571,630 in the previous year's Statement. This improvement is largely represented in deposits bearing interest. Immediately Avail- able Assets stand at $66,496,474 or 61.02 per cent. of Lialbilities to the Public. A year ago the figures un- der this heading were $58,5'57,698 or 55.82 per cent. of Public Liabilities. Cash Assets, too, have shown an im- provement of over $5,000,000 during the past twelve months. The figures a year ago were $16,426,864 and this year $21,764,316, now representing 19.97 per cent. of Liabilities to the Public. The Bank's investments horse grown slightly -during the past year. They now stand at $34,317;000 and are chiefly ,D02711iT.11071 and Provincial Gov- ernment Bonds. Current loans in Canada, While less than last year, are shown in a total of $50,220,000. The reduction represents in the main, merely seasonal liquidation. The net profits amount to $1,151,- 561 as against $1,139,2102 last year. After payment of dividends at the rate of 10 per cent., totalling $700,- 000, providing $245,762 for Dominion and 'Provincial Goverrentent Taxes, contributing $50,000 to Officers' Pen- sion Fund, and writing off fF/50,000, from fBank Premises Account, $106,- 000 Was added to Profit and Loss Ac- cou-nt, which now stands at $541,143.

Shrubs For the Home Grounds Every . home its a separate lands scope problem) and should be treated as such. No hard and fast rule re- garding plant arrangement may ,be made are an arrangement that Might appear perfect on a farm. home would pnobably appear very ,different if at- tempted in the mere formal sur- roundings usually present in a town. Shrubs have been defined as woody plants which branch freely from the base. Their heights very consider- ably from the creeping and trailing varieties of cotanastea, of only a few inches in height, to the various su- macs, tamarisks, and viburruums which often have an ultimate height of twenty-five OT more feet. 'When a new home ta being plan- ned, buildings can he arranged so that the assembled whole will har- monize, but when it is desired to 'beautify an older home it will often be found necessary to screen some of the outbuildings, both from; the pas- ser-by and from the house. For this purpose the tell -growing shrubs are particularly adapted. Shrubs are utilized about buildings for framing the picture of which the bundling is 'the centre. If planting is confined to the boundaries of the lawn, interests direCted towards the house. On large grounds miasses Or groups of shrubs show to good ad- vantage, but in the more confined lots of the town, a imore formal type of planting ha,s to be practised, and shrubs in this care are chosen for their individual beauty. In order to have a perfect group of shrubs it would be well to ,remetn- ber that coarse -leaved shrubs do not make. a suitable ibackg•round for shrubs of finer leaf texture. For in- stance, the Japanese barberry com- biners much better with spirea and other fine -leaved species than with the coars,eatleaved sumacs, flowering currants, etc. To get away from the irnornotony of a flat aminterresting mass of shrubs it is important to choose plants with varying ultimate heights and by discriminate planting splen- did results 'may be ahhieved. Shrubs are gretatly used in foundation plant- ing. This •does not mean planting two rows of shrubs around a house as so many people seem to think, but rather a careful selectiori and 'groups ing of plants which will accentuate the goad points of the structure and at the same timer tome down undesir- able features. It would not be good judgment to pay a stone mason thigh wages to Make a firitsclass job of a stone foundlatilon, and then plant a mass of ahrabe to hi& it completely from view. Nevertheless, even good masonry is much more interesting if glimpses are obtained rather than an 'unobstructed viewr of the whale foundation. By carefully selecting the plants to be used this purpose may be easily at- tained. The -corners of a house are usually tmua improved by the toning down effected by a mass of shrubs, and here again care rmfust be taken in the selection of material to be us- ed, because if tall plants are used in such a way that they hide the COT - Tilers of a house which is narrraw in the first place, they will make this building have a much narrower ap- pearance.
