Pulling up his line he saw a muskrat coming up backwards through the small hole in the ice. The hook was caught neai the tail, very firmly fixed. When the rat got on the ice, it drove Mr McKay and his son out of the fish house as it ran around biting fiercely at both of them. The rat finally came out and ran around on the ice. .\s the hook could not be loosened the rat was killed. It was a fine plump animal and seemed to be wintering well. This is the second rat caught in the same place. The first one got away wilh the fisherman's line and hook.â€" Orillia Packet and Times.

Dorothy Foster's 6-piece Orchestra Admission: 25c DO YOUR HENS LAY? A pretty reliable old formula foi finding out whether or not a flock of hens is paying for the feed they eat is supplied by F. C. Ei'ford, Do- minion Poultry Husbandman. It i- as simple as it is practical: Taki the cost of feed per hundredweight divide it by the cost of eggs pei dozen and multiply this quotient b;. three. This gives you the nuraloi of eggs per day which a flock of lOt hens must lay to pay for the cost ol their feed. For example: Feed is costing $1.20 per cwt., and eggs >sl! ing at 30 cents per dozen; Applying the formula i\vi quotient is 4; this multiplied by three gives the result 12 â€" or the number of eggs which a ilock of 100 hens will have to aver- age per day to pay for feed at thar cost ratio.

HAWKEN | Araor.g the United States legislat- ors who insist on the full pound of flesh in the matter of war debts are the representatives from Mississippi. In insisting that Britain pay up in full the principal and interest owing to the United States these Mississippi men are asking action that is in strik- ing contrast to that of their own state regarding money borrowed from Eng- .and nearly a century ago. These bonds amounted to §7,000,000 which were declared valid by the Supreme Court of Mississippe, have been iii default since 1841. Mississippe is but one of several states that have failed to pay theii just debts. Others a e: .Alabama $13,000,000. Arkansas SS.OOO.OOO* Flor- ida $8,000,000. Georgia S13.500.000, Louisiana S6.000,000. North Carolina 113.000.000. South Carolina $8,000,000 By means of repudiative legislatioi and state court decisions and the pro- tection offered by Eleventh Federal .\mendment. which prevents private citizens from suing a state in federal court these eight states continue to evade payment. It was stated in the British House of Commons on -April 13, 1928, by Col. Howard Drury, that the interest on the above debts then amounted to 66,000.000 pounds, or a total indebtedness of 78.000.000 pounds. U^niike the British war debt, these debts were not for payment of Amer- ican goods at enormous prices, but represented real money put up by bond holders for building railways, establishing banks, etc., before and after the Civil War. Decent self-respecting citizens ot these states must feel a sense of shame at such pressure being used on Great Britain whiie thee legitimate debt of their own remain unpaid. â€" Barrie Examiner. Urged Acceptance or Soviet Deal At a mas,s meeting held in Flesh- erton town hall on Friday evening the farmers of this district unani- mously demanded acceptance by the Bennett government of the Rus sian barter offer by which |7,000,OOC worth of Canadian dairy cattle anc hides were to be sent to Russia In exchange for Soviet oil and gasoiine. A motion to this effect was passed and forwarded to the Prime Minister j by telegraph. .A.t the same meeting the farmers : concurred in the motion passed by the , mass meeting of farmers at the re- ! cent U.F.O. convention in Toronto j demanding inflation of the Canadian ! currency not merely t" bring it to parity with the British pound ster- j ling, but far enough to meet the fi.\ed : debt charges of the countrj'. | The mass petition embodying this ' resolution and circulated by the. U.F.O. was later s!S".r'' "-^y the Flesh- " erton farmers at the r.i-^«ting. The telegram urging acceptance of the Russian barter offer, which was sent to the prime minister, read as follows: ".At a representative meeting held at Flesherton on Friday night. Dec. 30, farmers strongly demanded ac- ceptance of the Russian trade offei of hides and beef for gasolins. "Agricultural conditions are des- perate, and relief must come from some source soon. We, therefore, urge acceptance." CHARLES JENNINGS ANNOUNCING Geo. Best Passes Death came suddenly on Sunday evening to Mr. Geo. Best, a well known farmer on No. 10 Highway, four and a half miles south of Flesherton, fol- lowing a short illness of pneumonia. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Best and was 49 years of age. He was a highly respected citizen and bis passing is a shock to his many friends throughout his own section and in Flesherton. He has resided in Arteraesia township in the Victoria Comers vicinity all his life. Besides his aged parents he leaves to mourn a sister, Mr^. Carl Atkinson, who resides on a neighboring farm. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon and was largely attended by a host of sorrowing friends ant! relatives. Rev. Laidlaw, a formei pastor of the Inistioge church, con- ducted the service at the house and cemetery and delivered a very com- forting message. Interment took place in Flesherton cemetery. The pallbearers were: Messrs. C. .Moore, Milton Bannon. W. Gallagher, Geo. LudJow. Leslie Brooks, and Ren. .\cheson. To applaud or not to applaud â€" that is the question â€" As a listener, you have every right, in your own draw- ing room, to applaud all you like, because listeners elsewhere do not hear, but it is possible we are giving too much time to the studio han.l- clappers? â€" Frankly, we feel we ai'i in a better position when seated be- side our own set, to appraise thi- efforts of a radio comedian than u -, the guests in the hall where the broadcast is originating. â€" We have to apply the radio measuring stick, because we cannot see the comediai., funny face â€" and Jsometimes a gai; that seems lame to us gets a dis- concerting amount of applause bdc"> in the studio.
