PRESENTS PAST MASTERS' JEWELS APPLE TREE PRUNING. MOTHSXOME FROM THE MAGIC TOUCH Miss Ina Smith Has Strange Hobby In Toronto Office From the Toronto Star Toronto has many collectors of sorts â€" antiques, stamps and scores of articles which takes one's fancy, but perhaps the oddest collection in the city is one in possession of Miss Ina Smith, a member of the staff of the fire marshall's office. Bank of Ham- ilton buildnig. .She is a collector of cocoons, from which, in a downtown office, sur- rounded by towering buildings, she develops beautiful butterflies. Sitting at a desk in front of a win- dow with a southern exposure. Miss Smith was found the other day en- grossed in what appeared to be with- ered, dirty leaves, lying in the strong sunlight. Closer investigation prov- ed them to be cocoons. She is a collector of cocoons, from five cocoons from Mr. Baker, another member of the staff, whose father, Albert Baker, of the forestry branch of the parks denartment, city hall, had picked them off trees n Monarch Park last fall. Miss Smith is carrying on a most interesting experiment with her "co- coonery." The production of moths in the month of February is an un- usual hobby, and fuU of interest. By artificial heat the cocoon was devel- oped fully two months in advance of nature's time and the first of the butterflies came out of its web on February 20th. Escaping, it event- ually found its way to the Star win- dow, where it was on display, later being returned to its owner. The other day, Miss Smith pain- lessly extracted the life of another of the same species which had made its debut that day by giving it chloro- form. It was almost the double of the. first moth. On her desk the sun was striking strong and warm and anoth- er little cocoon started ^vrifo-lkig about. It was a most extraordinary thing to witness a withered leaf jump about in spirited fashion. Held in the hand the unopened cocoon vibrated with the efforts of the creature in- side. Two other cocoons lay on her desk, one of them a large maple leaf roUed into the shape of a cone, with the seal at the top where the moth had rolled itself in and closed up the leaf The fifth cocoon was useless, as the animal was dead inside Died From The Effects Of A Broken Leg Special to The Advance., On Monday, March 17, last, Elias Thompson rieid at his home near Heathcote. Six weeks ago he had his leg broken while working in the woods. A tree he was felling lodged and in getting it down it slid back on the stump and caught him, breaking his leg.

His wife pre-deceased him I a few years sijjoe. Several children 1 are left behind. AFRAID OF LOSING YOUR JOB An interesting event took place on Friday evening lasf in the Lodge room of Flesherton L.O.L. Xo. 2955, when the Past Master's Jewels were presented to Messrs. C. J. Bellamy and Alfred Down, past masters of the Lodge. W. M. F. W. Duncan read the address and the presentation was made by the Secretary, F. Thurston. The following is the address iâ€" We, the members of Flesherton L. O. L. No. 2855, wish to show our app- reciation of the services you have given in the organization of this Lodge, and the interest and faithful- ness in the Order during vour terras of office as Master of this Lodge. We now ask you. Worshipful Sirs, to accept these jev.-els, as a small token of om- appreciation of you, and we hope that you will wear them for long years to come. Singned on behalf of the Lodge, F. W. Duncan, W.M.; F. J Thurston, Sec. I The young fellow who is all the time afraid of losing his job. probably does not deserve to keep it. It is the I incompetent worker or the lazy woi-k- i er, who is always fearful that some one will be put in his place. If you are doing the work you should do. and are doing it with the enthusiasm and zeal which belong to it. the last thing that will enter your mind is that somebody else is going to get your place. READY FOR SPRING LOST IN FRANCE FOUND IN DURHAM From the Durham Chronicle. It's a long way from here to France, and then again it isn't. That the world is no so big after aU was forcibly brought home to Mr. Alex. Graham of this place last Monday, when a water bottle holder, lost by him at Passchendale, was placed in his hand here, and is now in his possession, a treasured keepsake. Some time ago Mr. C. P. Kinnee, harnessmaker here and brother-in- law to Mr. Graham, purchased a job lot of Government leather supplies, consisting of these water-bottle holders and such like. He got them at a rigrht price, and, being Govern- ment stores they were of the best material that money could buy. Mr. Kinnee bought them more for the snaps that were on them than for anything else. , On Monday while cutting some of them up, he noticed the name of "A. Graham" written on one of the straps and shortly afterward when Mr. Graham was passing he called him in and showed him the holder. Mr. Graham was not long in recog- nizing it as his, he having lost it at the battle of Passchendale on Nov. 6, 1917, when he was wounded. It is quite needless to state that the memento of former days in France is now in a safe place where it will never again stray far from home. , CEYLON Mrs. F. J.

If not now is the time to prepare. Givel 1924 the bestVhance to produce a bumpPT crop. The Grey County Advisory Coun- cil at a meeting on Jan. 4th, 1924, made the following recommendations: "That because of numerous requests for apple tree pruners, it is recom- mended that the Department of Ag- riculture, Markdale, ascertain the bropable number of farmers who would take advantage of the service of practical experts and if possible secure this service Tor the iarmers.' In accordance with this recommen- dation this article is beinf sent to all local papers in Grey County. The names of quite a number of practical pruners from the fruit districts have been secured, and their charges have not been learned, it is hoped that as- sistance can be secured for anv far- mer wanting this help. Requests will not obligate a farmer in any way, but if any desire this service they will be considered according to appli- cation. How many Grey County far- mers desire their apple trees pruned?
