.*, * FINANCIAL A test of 400 lbs. of Wejidlgo Gold Mines ore conducted by C. I. L. lab- oratories to determine the exact char- acter of the flotation unit to be in- â- talled has been completed, and shows a recovery of 95 per cent. Results of the test will be submitted to the com- pany'a engineers for approval. With- in about 30 days it Is proposed to â- tart deepening the shaft from the present 600 foot level to 1,000 feet, with new levels to be established tc that depth. The last goldbrick was Talued at |5,744 and represonts out- ISt for first 10 days of July. This •ompares with the previous brick va- lued at aboQt $4,700 and June produc- tion of around $10,000 sets a new high for the mine. An important gold discovery has l)««n made In the Horwood Lake area, vest of Porcupine, and according to Felix Roche, president of Mat-A-Lac Gold Mines (1936) Ltd., he has staked a group of claiHis on behalf of the company. Surface showings show con- â- Iderable gold and flva samples taken gave a^say returns up to $90.60 per ton in gold. A crew will be sent to the property Immediately, to commence exploration. McLellan Long Lac Gold Mines has uncovered a new break on the north group of claims in the Hutchison Lake area from which encouraging ralues are reported. The new discov- ery shows a width of 2 feet, and is highly mineralized ani lines up with the Hutchison Lake strike. Diamond drilling on the southern group of 8 claims situated between Elmos Gold Mines and Magnet Consolidated in the Little Long Lac field, is progress- ing, following delay due to the recent forest fires In the area. Margaret Red Lake Mines announc- es the completion of financing for the present development campaign. The property is situated in the Red Lake district and a. shaft is down 226 feet with some drifting done on the two levels established. Previou ; workings cut the vein on the 65-root level show- ing 6 feet of $45 ore. The company's present programme is to push explor- atiou of known ore bot'ies. Pension Scheme For Employees VVrigley Company Contri- butes Nearly $100,000 to Start Pension Plan. â- r--- Diamond drilling on the Lake Ath- abaska property of Athona Mines Ltd. la continuing to give good results. Ac- cording to the latest reports 30 feet of core averaging $5.50 per ton In gold has been intersected. One 5 foot section returned a value of $5.15 per ton, while a 12-foot section yielded a value of $5. per ton. A programme of diamond drilling has been started on the Mayrand pro- perty under option to Dunlop Consol- idated Mines located immediately ad- jacent to Lapa Cadillac Gold Mines on the south in Cadillac Township, Quebec. Drilling is bping carried out under the direction ot Cameron Yule. who is in charge of operations tor the company. Gold oulput for June at Shawkey Gold Mining is reported at $35,951), according to officials, bringing total production since the mill started op- eration in February to approximately $120,310. A high grade ore shoot is being opened on the 4th level east at the present time. This is apparent- ly the downward extension of the high grade ore opened up on the third le- vel. Oddities in Statistics New York Times. Governor Lehman designated last week as Safety Week. Tiiereup.'n the perversity of things brought a â- harp rise in automobile accidents tn the city as compared with last year and after a gratifying decline extending over many weeks. How- ever, Governor Lehman is Governor of up-State as well as New Vork City, and the up-Stite record for last week was very ^ood. Eternal vigilance is the watchword but we .nay be permilted to hope that th.i jump in last week's figures in town was an isolated evont. One peculiarity concerns tiie fatalities. Ac compared with last year the deaths for the whole week rose from 16 to 20, but for the week-end per- iod there was a dec".!nc froii U to 6 deaths. Last year three-fourths of all fa- talities for the week occurred in the last two days. This year only one- fourth occurred on the week-end. A 'week is too short for safe general- bation. But eternal vigilance is the 'watchword.

(UARANTECDi •fir 1WELVE MONTHS ; To Improve the Grade Dairy Herd Continue to Use Pure - Bred Sire of Same Breed on Each Generation The grading up system of breed- ing means the mating of one com- mon or unimproved parent with a purebred. By continuing to use a purebred sire on each successive gen- eration thus produced, the herd soon comes to have great uniformity and a high economic value, but as breed- ing stock they are worthless. With cattle, the first cross will make all the calves half bloods and thereafter, if superior bulls are used, the progress toward higher levels is certain. Eventually, the unimproved blood practically disappears, but such animals can never be registered. If grrades are bred to grades, no progress is made. The upward "pull" comes through the purebred sire only. No proniising bull calf even from a high- record grade cow should ever be re- tained for use as a sire. He may look "right," but all improvement stops when he enters the service. Where marked improvement in a grade herd is shown by the first- cross daughters of a purebred bull, it is considered advisable for several reasons to breed him back to his own daughffers. The failure to make a full and consistent use of sires of the same breed in grading is the most glaring mistake made by livestock farmers today. In dairy herds the temptation to use a bull of some fat-test breed, on high-grade cows of a low fat-test breed, should be discouraged. Stick to the same breed of sire or dispose of the herd and make a new start. In producing catUe either for direct utility purposes or breeding stock, there is with possibly one exception no practical advantage in crossing distinct breeds. The fancy that de- sirable but opposed characters can be easily made to blend by this method has been the undoing of many cattle- men. Do not cross breeds. Strive to improve the breed already in hand. Glycerine; is to be made from rice waste and broken rice in Italy.

Wrigley Jr. Co. Limited of Canada join with 3,000 employees of the company in the United States in a pension plan recently announ- ced. The plan went into effect in Canada on July 1st, 1936. Under the plan the amount of pensions depends on the workers' wages and the length of service with the Wrigley Company. Wri'^- ley's have always been intensely interested in the welfare and securi- ty of their employees and have always manifested this interest to the fullest extent. In order to credit employees who have been with the Company for niany years before the .start of the plan, Wrigley's have made a cash contribution to the fund of almost $100,000 to cover these years of prc-vious service. Thus any einployee who has been with the Wrigley Company for 25* years and whose salary is now $200 p month, wou'd have an automatic pension of 550. OC per month. On the average, the Company and the employees pay intc the fund an equal amount each month. The employees contribution aniou:>ts to aboi!t four cents on every dollar earned. The retirement age is set at 65 years. Life expectancy is esti- mated at 12 years above ag2 !)5. Ho'^ever in the event of t'oath, or discontinuance in the empbyraeit of the Wrigley Company, or in the case of early retirement, empl.yees may withdraw the funds which they have paid into the plans, pi '3 interest conpounded at 3% ami ..'ll;.'. Pay mtnts and pensions are all lased on a percentage of wage multip'.iet! by the number of years with tie Company. As an example for em')'.').ye°s long with the company, a man who has now been with Wriglev's for twenty-five years, earning a salary of $200.00, would, if he continues with the Company for twenty more years, earn a pension of $110.00 per month. And if he lives out the normal expectancy of 12 years, he will have withdrawn a total of $15,- 840.00 although his contributions would amount to only $1,920.00. Issue No. 31 â€" '36 19 Defines $2 Word "lUaqueation" WASHINGTON, â€" Secretary Ickes defined a $2 word â€" "illaqueation" â€" which he used In a speech. "Ain't you got no education?" he playfully demanded in a memo to those who questioned his usage. "I would swear by the bones of Noah Webster that It there is any such word it means ensnarement or entrapment. A dang good word, 1 calls it, especially If it stumped all you near Phi Beta Kappas." Noah Webster's big dictionary proves United States Secretary ot Interior Ickes Is right, though It says the word Is "rare." Friend of Miners To the long list of Canadian edi- tors who have died since the New Year must be added the name of J. W. H. Sutherland, editor and pub- lisher of the Evening News, New Glasgow, N.S., in the heart of the coal mining district, says the London Free Press. Canadian editors who attended the last meeting of the Canadian Press held in Toronto early in May, will not soon forget Mr. Sutherland. There had been a lop;? and at times rather acrimonious debate over the handling of the news of the Moose River disaster. There was consider- able difference of opinion expressed as to what had taken place in the last brave 24-hour fight to rescue the entombed men. Finally when everyone had had their say a gentleman, whom few knew, arose at the back. He explain- ed in the broadest of Scotch that ho was the publisher of the New Glas- gow News, where most of the drae- germen came from. He knew them all personally; they were all friends of his. He had talked with them since their return from Moose River. Then in simple, but eloquent langu- age, he told the story of wh.it had actually taken place in that long fight. "They felt they had done noth- ing extraordinary; it was all part of their daily task; they did not look on themselves as heroes. When the speaker snt down there was not one of those present who was not touch- ed by his recital. The debate closed. There was nothing more to say. The speaker was the late Mr. Sutherland. The minors have lost n good friend in the death of Mr. Sutherland. In his paper he always has been an ad- vocate of t»ie miner and the steel worker in any plans for improve- ment of working and living condi- tions. Every man is a hero In his own home until atter the company leaves. A young lawyer tried to give him- self the appearance ot being exceed- ingly busy. During his absence from the office he always left a neat cai'd on the door marked "Will be Back In An Hour." On his return one day, he found that a rival bad inscribed under- neath. "What For?"

Sweet Young Thing â€" "My boy friend's name is Percival Aloysius McGillicuddy." Permits to Drive â€" Magistrate Burbidge of Hamilton has something to say about granting driving permits to people who were suffering from physical handicaps. Cne driver was to have appeared be- fore him to answer to criminal negli- gence in operating his car, but the informatdon obtained was that the accused could not appear in court on account of his physical condition. The driver is a 70 per cent, war disability case. Medical testimony showed this driver has a heart condition, chronic bronchitis, nervous disability and other ailments. He has been under treatment at Byron Hospital and left against doctor's orders. The- Hamilton magistrate says an individual in that condition should not be driving a car, and the magis- trate is right. He says a permit to drive should not be issued to him and again he is right. It would be no hardship to tell a person in that con- dition he should not drive. In the end it would be kindness. Optimism is often a greater handi- cap than possimism, the pessimist at least desn't count his chickens and insist on drawing tho money before they are hatched. Caller (ot college) â€" "May I come in? It's the room I had when I was in college in 1901). ( Continuing in re- verie) â€" Yes, sir, same oid room, tha same old windows. Same old view of the campus. Same old closet (opening closet door. There stood a girl much embarrassed). College Student â€" "This is my sister!" Oaller â€" "Yes, sir! Same old story." Give a child a sgnorous and Im- pressive name, and you are sure to be mortified. He'll be nicknamed Pete, Dink, or some such take-oft and no- body will ever know who is referred to, it they happen to see his name In print. Young Doctor's Wife â€" ''Oh, Har- ry, aren't the clouds and moon love- ly tonight?" Young Doctor (absent-mindedly) â€" "Sure, that cloud coming over the moon reminds me ot a torpid liver. It costs a girl a lot of money to look beautiful while she Is being courted, but she gots even after fche is married. Friend â€" "But isn't your son sort ot listless, Mr. Moneybags?'' Mr. Moneybags â€" "Heavens no! He's got a list of blondes, a list of brunettes, and a list of redheads." Do you wonder where the word "Sa- tan", came from? We think it is just an Old Nick Name. Two drunks were riding the street car. After having travelled for halt an hour or so one asked the other: First Drunk â€" "Say, hlc, buddy, hie, what time ish it?" Second Drunk (pulling a box ot matches out of his pocket and look- ing at It gravely) â€" "Ish Wednesday" First Drunk â€" "By gosh, then, hie, I must get off here!" A man compares his possessions with what his parents had; a woman compares them with what the neigh- bors have. First Sailor (In rowing boat after being shipwrecked) â€" "What! Pull for that? But what's the use, that Is only the horizon." Second Sailor â€" Hang it all; why be so particular? Ifa better than no- thing, isn't It?" LIFE Life is not getting, but serving and giving. Not fulsome feigning, but present hour living, Life is not straining, but treeing and flowing. Not fulsome feigning, but love over- flowing. Grenville Klelser Laws should be written in simple language, but it this were done what would the lawyers do? MY BOSS My bosa, he is a hard-boiled bird; I like him. His language is the worst I've heard; I like him. He damns me up, he damns me down His smile Is rarer than his frown, But his merchandise is tho best in town; I like him.

Ltd. 45 Richmond St. W., Toronto w Carcass Grading of Hogs Is Equitable standards for live hog grading wrre established in Canada in October, ot 1922, in accordance with regulations under the Live Stock and Live Stock Products Act. A national Swine Con- ference had been convened in the previous year to consider the serious difficulties then being experienced In marketing Canadian bacon In Great Britain, the one major problem being the inferiority ot Canadian bocon. The Conference appointed a perman- ent committee, known as the Joint Stock Committee and the Live Stock Branch of the Dominion Department ot Agriculture was requested to es- t*)blish and administer an indepen- dent grading service. The Joint Swine Committee was ap- pointed to act in an advisory capacity to the Dominion Department of Agri- culture in Uie development ot hog grading and other policlea pertaining to the swine Industry. It Is composed of two representatives ot the Domin- ion Live Stock Branch, two ot the picking Industry, ono each for the Province of Quebec, the Western Live Stock Union, the Eastern Live Stock Union, and two from the Can- adian Council of Agriculture. Cogni- zant ot the limitations of live grading and familiar with the grading systems in other countries, tlie Joint Swine Committee, writes L. W. Pearsall ot the Live Stock Branch. Dominion De- partment ot Agriculture In the latest Issue ot the C. S. T. A. Review, re- commended to the Department of Ag- riculture that experimental work be undortaken to determine whether a system ot carcass, or rail grading would be practical and adaptable to conditions of markoting and slaughtor- ins of hogs In Canada. Pollowing some preliminary work to establish tentative carcass grades, the Hog Grading Regulation.s were amended on March 17, 1334, to pro- vide carcass grading on a voluntary basis, so that e.xperimental work as recommended could be commenced. Consequently, carcass grading on a voluntary basis, for purely experi- mental purposes, was started In Pet- erboro, Ont., In July, 1934, and later in the year at Stratford. During that year 3.577 hogs were caJcass-gradod, and the growth ot the system may be gauged by tho fact that in three months ot 193G the number ot hogs graded was 57,007. The Dominion Department ot Agri- culture having assumed the responsi- bilUy ot providing aa Impartial and adequate grading service, as a basis of trading between producer and the packer, has endeavoured with the ad- vice of the Joint Swine Committee to make available a method ot grading that experlenco In other countries in- dicates to be efficient and equitable. The necessity for further improve- ment in the qualltv ot comincroial hogs Is obvious. 850 Years Old NEW CROP A church with a wooden tower, a duck pond, a village inn, a smithy and a few scattered cottages, all of which constitute a village, have sur- rendered to the demands of modern days. Tottcridge a pretty Hertford- shire vil.age, is to be developed in the form of a housing estate, but every effort is being made not to break the spell of the old-world charm and historic a-ssociations. The 17th century church, with the im- mense yew tree â€" which tradition says is 850 years oldâ€" in tho church- yard ,and the many fine old country houses in the neighborhood, should do much to maintain the dignified and rural character of the village. Sir Jagadis Bose has already prov ed to the scientific world that plants have the ability to feel, and have waking as well as sleeping hours. The Japanese evidently think so, too. Some time ago an electric light com- pany erected a huge neon advertis- ing sign alongside rice fields. The farmers protested, saying that it would interfere with the growth of their rice crop% but no notice wa."! taken. Unfortunately for the com- pany, the crops refused to ripen and the farmers took their case to court. Here it was adjudged that the elec- tric sign kept the rice awake, and the cultivators were awarded ade- quate compensation.
