Men entrusted with the funds of valuable papers of their fellows cannot too scrupulously carry out their obliga- tions. It is no excuse to say that funds misappropriated were not really stolen, but only borrowed, with full intention of paing back when, by a new gamble in the stock, grain or mining market, fortune came the way of the pilferer. Men entrusted with trust funds have to understand that they must be honest all the time or go to the penitentiary and disgrace.

Address and Presentation A very enjoyable evening was spent at the home of Mr and Mrs. Russell Boyce when they were pres- ented with a mantle clock and a half dozen of community silver tea spoons. The following address was read : To Mr. and Mrs. Russell Boyco Dear Friends: â€" Having learned with regret of your intended depar- ture from u", we are gathered hero to-night to show in a voi-y smiUl way our appreciation of you being with us, and while we feel we are losing a good neighbor, we know that some other community will benefit liy our loss. We therefore ask you to accept these small tokens of our good will and estecem, and we hope that you and yours may nro.Hper in the new community to which you are going. Signed on behalf of friends and neighbors.â€" VERN WRKMIT.' and HARRY STEPHEN Mr. Russell Boyce replied in a few well chosen words and thanked his friends and neighbors for their kindness.

M FEIGHEN, teacher LEG BROKEN SECOND TIME Mr. John Burroll, of Brant, was tha victim of a painful and exceed- ingly regrettable accident last Sat- urday evening. His leg, broken last June, which confined him to the Han- over Hospital for many weeks, and later plate<l in Toronto, was frac- tured the second time, when he fell from the top of a load he was driv- ing. Meeting a cutter he turned out to let it pass. It appears that the uneveness of the snow bed over- turned the seigh on which Mr. Burell was driving. This is a caSe of hard luck, in which Mr. Burell has the sympathy of many frends. He was renwved to his home, where medi- cal attention was given. Owing to the fracture being in the place of the former break, the injury ia some what serious.â€" Walkerton Telescope. The man who does not advertise probably knows what he is doing- bat nobody else does. Tha conjuror's turn had not been going well, but the artist stuck dog- edly to his task. "Ncfw," he said "If any lady or gentleman in the aud- ience would oblige me with an egg I would proceed to perform an amaz- ing trick." There was a moment's silence, then the inevitable candid critic remarked: "If anybody 'e^e 'ad an egg, you'd 'ave 'ad it long ago.'

Do not spray at all unless you are going to try to do It well. It will not pay. 2. You cannot make a success of apple growing without good spraying, 3. You cannot spray well without a good outQt which will give you pleuty of pressure. So overhaul the old spray machine at once, or If It ia not satisfactory buy a new one with plenty o( power. 4. i:ct a spray calendar from your Agricultural Representative, or from Mr. I'. W. Hodgetts, Director Fruit Branch, Toronto, or Prof. L. Caesar. O. A. College, Ouelph. Tack it up In the spray shed where it will al- ways be available. 5. Use only the spray materials recommended In the spray calendar. 6. Do not spray when it happens to be convenient, but spray at the tl:nes the spray calendar says. The time of^ spraying is of vast import- auce an^ the times given In the spray c.ilendar are based on years of study. 7. Omit none of the first three regular sprays, some years the first is the most important, some the se- cond and some the third. Each spray helps to make the next more effective and each must be given to insure clean fruit. 8. Mcintosh and ^Snow trees should always receive a fourth appU- eation. Read what the spray calen- dar recommends under "Extra sprays and remarks" and be guided by it. 9. You will not control San Jose scale on large trees, twenty-five years old or more, unless you first prune them heavily and scrape the loose bark off with a hoe. Then see that every particle of the bark is wet with the liquid; a mere mist or a light spray will not kill the insect. Use lime sulphur 1 to 7 of water, prefer- ably Just as the buds are bursting. 10. For scab and codling moth cover both sides of every fruit and also cover every leaf. Scab attacks the leaves, too, and is often washed from them to the fruit. It will re- quire from 7 to 13 gallons tor each tree twenty-flve years old or upwards, not just 2 or 3 gallons. 11. Be sure the spray reaches right through the trees. To insure this go In, it necessary, underneath the ties and spray the part beyond the ti unk first, then step back to the o itslde and spray the remaining part. Do ♦»•:« from both sides. Remember that it Is the centre or shaded part of the tree where scab naturally is worst and poor sprayers nearly al- ways miss this side though they often cover the sunny or outer side all right. 12. A tower, even with a spray gun, is a great help. Often it will suffice to stand on tho tank. A rail- ing or support en it removes the dan- ger of falling. 13. Do not use large openings in the discs of either nozzles or spray guns unless you have ?25 pounds pressure or more. They are wasteful, make it difficult to maintain high pressure, and give too coarse a spray. 14. In many cases better work will be done with a rod and three angle disc nozzles than with a gun. In any case use some system in spraying so that you will make sure everything is being covered in a methodical way. 15. Have ;i handy place to fill the tank. Ten minutes should bo long enough for any tank. 16. Do not stop spraying becfuse rain threr.iens. Go right on until the rain has v ^Ml bfgun. It is rain and molsturo ^, hlch cause scab outbreiks. 17. Do not stick to an eight or ten hour day when spraying, but r:ake every effi-rt to get it done as noon I'.s posslblj without BacriUcing tbor- oughness It tho second spray i.s not finished lipforo tho blossoms c pen, omit the poison and go on uniil it is flnishr.!. 18.

Needless to say, Gecrge dispatched the cat's life.â€" Herald. Practical jokers provided a near sensation in Woodstock on Sunday morning when pedestrians on Riddel street dfacovered what appeared to be the body of a young woman, clothed in black, with one leg severed from the body, lying in the snow. Closer examination revealed the fact that a tailor's dummy, cleverly disguised with a wax model's head of very life like aspect together with the leg of a wax model affixed to the dumny composed the gruseome "remains."

Mrs. Campbell, hearing a noise in the attic, went to investigate and was met on the attic stair by a wall of flame. Luckly there were f ur men at the bam, dehorning cattle, and they held the fire in check until help sumnxoned by telephone from Price- ville, Ceylon and for miles around arrived with ladders, fire extinguish- er sand pails. Even then a hole had to be chopped in the roof to get at the seat of the fire. Then with water and chemical extinguishers, the fire was finally overcome. It was only through the quick arrival of such a large crowd of helpers, coupled with an abundant supply of water that saved the house.
