The women's meet, which wa.s recently held in Enifland' was well represented by the Canadian girl athletes, and attracted great attention from sport lovers the world over. The recen^^hannel essaying attempts, by an American and Arg- entine swimmiers were examples of physical fitness, and indominatable courage. In our community life the femin- ine sex, glory in the game of Softball, and stage competitions, which demonstrate strength of body and mind, along with the efficieticy which is the result of training. This branching out of women, into athletics, is tiot without its defects. Women were, until recently, supposed Ut be the weak and defenseless, "the clinging vine," and were always un- der trtfe shelter and protection of the stronger sex. The recent demon- strations of strength and muscular ability, when certain of the athletes lost their temper, gives support to the following statement in the editor- ial paragraphs of the Mail and Em- pire. â€" "We observe that Canadian young ladies are shot-putting and discus- hurling." "No doubt they do it better than other young ladies, but who wants his spou.se to be the champion caber-tosser?"

Now, seven years after the end of the slaughter there are more men prepared for war than in 1914. Offi- cial figures secured by the United Press from the League of Nations in Geneva show there are 6,055,144 men in the standing armies of 59 nations. One of the contributing causes of the Qreat War â€" /the competitive race for .supremacy in armaments â€" is to- day actively revived. Now it is for the supremacy of the air. Great Britain has prepared an air budget of $77,56.5,000 designed to contest France's domination of the air. Only seven years after- the most terrible of wars nearly every power in Europe and Asia is preparing for the "next war." There is a great silent preparation. Here and there daily are potents fraught with sig- nificance. â€" Tara Leader., READY FOR THE ELECTIpN Young People's Convention' WHY NOT HERE? Quite a bit of controversy has been waged in the large dailies over the problem of a dominion election. It has not been definitely decided to hold an election so far, although one is likely to be held. Candidates in dif- ferent*ridings have been chosen, the latest one being M. R. Duncan, M. P. of Owen Sound, for North Grey, as the bearer of the Liberal-Conscerv- stlve party. Miss Agnes McPhail M. P., present U. P. O. member, will again run as a progressive, and will bfe opposed by Dr. L. G. Campbell of Markdale, rejiresenting the Conser- vatives. Most of the candidates in the various ridings have been cho- sen already, and all that's needed is the wave of Premier King's hand as consent, to start the election machinery moving.

The Walk- erton Herald-Times has the following to say of the Dollar Day put on there about a week ago • "The Dollar Day campaigin put on by the merchants here on Friday and Saturday last proved a real crowd drawer, and was among the most successful events of its kind yet staged in town. So great in fact, was the trafficiprerAatyola in fact, was the crush on Saturday night that Chief Ferguson was press- ed into service to direct the traffic on the corner of Jackson and Durham itrecls. We question whether more uutos were ever seen in town before, and as many of the cars radiated from J distance of twenty miles or more, the drawing power of the merchant's bargains had certainly some pull to it. While the Jjusiness men were highly delighted at their turnover, the buying public found the campaign equally worth while from a money- saving standpoint." Flesherton mer- chants should give this means of boosting business ,a fair trial. There will be four days of trotting at the C.N.E., Saturday, September 5 and the following Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday.

(Contributed by OnUrlo Department of Avrlcu^ture. Toronto.) The Immediate possibility of lower- ing the cost of production of milk or lDCi;easlng the flow of milk Is depen- dent upon the care, management and feeding of our cows. It Is possible within a single herd to do selecting aad by purchasing replace our poorer cows with better cows; but, taking the Province as a whole, we must be content to get along as best we can with the cows on hands. The cows we have cannot be changed, but per- haps they will produce more it given more feed and better care. This limits the scope for Immediate Im- provement. For any great improve- ment we must look to the future and since we must get along as best we can with the cows available, the great hope Is centered la the sires we use. (Characteristics of a Good Ball. To use a pure-bred bull simply be- cause he is pure bred Is not enough. He must either be a proven producer of good dairy cattle or else have the maximum possibilities of becoming a producer of good cattle. Such a bull should command a reasonably good price and we should be prepared to pay well for such a bull. This does not mean, of course, that we should not buy as closely as possible. A good bull should be masculine, he must have the characteristics of a good bull and should, be strong In those points where the females are weak. For example, some Holstein cows with droopy rumps have been good producers. In such an instance the bull to^which they are mated should not only have a good rump himself, but come from a family of good rumped cattle. Similarly cows that are low testers should be mated to a bull that comes from a high testing strain. It Is well In selecting 'a sire to see that the family tree behii^d the bull is uniformly good, rather than to select a sire out of an out- standing Individual with no regard for either the near or remote ances- tors. Then again, the bull must be typical of the breed to which he be- longs. In breeding any class of pure- bred stock type Is of primary Im- portance. High Testing Cows at a Premlnm. Since payment for milk Is being made fgrgely on a butter fat baists, there has come to be a great demand for high testing cows. Some people are trying to increase the butter-fat yield of the herd by crossing Ayrshire 0^ Jersey bulls on Holstein cows. This practice should in most cases be discouraged, as the results when carried past the first generation are usually unsatisfactory. We cannot expect by crossing two breeds of cat- tle to obtain In the offspring all the virtues of each breed and none of the weaknesses. The opposite is Just as likely to be true, otherwise we might expect that by crossing a heavy Draft mare with a Standard bred stal- lion to obtain the weight of the Dreft horse and the speed of the Standard bred in the offspring. Experience has proven this Is not the case. - Care In Breeillng Heifers. Heifers should attain good size and be properly developed before being bred. In many cases heifere are bred at such an early age that they turn out to be undersized cows. The- only argument advanced In favor of this early breeding is that perhaps over a period of Ave years an extra calf may be obtained, but It must boTe- I At a n:deting in Owen Sound last week, representatives of the former Presbyterian Church, and of Owen Sound and Collingwood districts of' the Methodist church, met and form ed a tentative Presbyterial executive. As a result of this, a Young People's convention will be held in Division Street United church, Owen Sound, on Monday afternoon and evening, September 28th. Rev. Mr. Spencer, of Dundalk, form- er president ot the O^Mn Sound Dis- trict League, was in the chair, others present being Rev. Mr. Mclnnis, of Division Street United Church, andn Rev. T. Laidlaw, of Westside United Church, Owen Sound; A. S. Thurston, president of the Collingwood District, accompanied by Miss Velma Brown and Mr. Ted Beckett, of Meaford; and Mr. Pallister, of Dundalk. In the organization of the United Church of Canada each county has been made a Presbytery, and organi- zation is being affected along county lims. Thus, the nine Young People's Leagues formerly -iir-the Collingwood Methodist District, but located in Grey County, become associated witth the CJrey work, and separated from that of Simcoe county. The former Presbyterian church had no Presbyterial organization of Young People, though there are somi* thirty local organi^tions of that church within the county. The result of the new arrangement) will be the formation of a Presbyter ial Young People's organization em- 1 Z Haying and Harvesting Supplies Draw Rope Sling Rope Trip Rope Forks Plymouth Binder Twine Scythes Snaths Machine Oil Motor Oil Cup Grease Massey-Harris Co. repairs.

Thus in Hanover and Wiarton at least, the deciding factor ig the location within the town, of the parsonage or manse. THOS. CLAYTON FLESHERTON. - - ONTARIO • • • • • ^ • If?

She should have size and capacity to turn large quantities of roughage Into milk. She should, like all well man- aged factories, be given a resting per- iod for repair. Even Iron and steel will not last forever, and machines have certain Idle pertod| when they are overhauled and put In good run- ning order. This Is equally true with a dairy cow. She should have a rest- ing period before freshening and dur- ing this time she should be liberally fed In order to repair the worn-out parts of her body and build up a reserve strength to be used in maxi- mum production during the lactation period. The liberal feeding of a cow during her period of rest previous to froshening will pay and pay well. Apply BuslneMi Prlnciplsa.
