market from january 1 to february 23 1839 totalling 6439 boxes compared with 00 boxes during the oneepondliig period of 1938 and with the hitherto highest record for the period of 1784 boxes in 1937 further the position in which canadian turkeys have be come established in the british mar bet is shown by the tact that cana dlan turkeys have been selling at five cents more per pound than other

time radio broadcas ters and occasionally other speakers and writers end their addresses by the word thirty and no doubt many won der why there are a number of ex planations but the one that seems mots reliable is that a young man a telegraph operator who was sent to take charge of a small village station in a bush country on a big railway as was the custom of the road he was given a number to use instead of his name and he was number so all his messages to head office were there fore signed 30 be was supposed to stay only a short time but apparent ly was forgotten at head office and his stay lengthened into years he be came intimately acquainted with all the people of the village men wo men and children knew the babys name almost as soon as did its mo ther one day an alarm came that the forest was on fire and the names were sweeping towards the village it seemed the little place was doomed number 30 sent distress messages for relief but it was slow in coming nearer and nearer came the fire at last a train was sent and number 3d ran from car to car making sure that everyone was aboard steam was up ready for the dash the little station itself was blazing when the agent ran to his instrument and ticked off the message pulling out all safe 30 he then ran from the burning build tng overcome by smoke and flames he perished before reaching the train when therefore a speaker uses thirty to end his address he is doing honor to one who gave his lire to save others 30 the bracebrldge ga xette a bit sarcastic the stranger ambled into the farm yard and was challenged by the farm er with an air of great importance the stranger produced his card and remarked i am a government inspector and am entitled to inspect your farm half an hour later the farmer saw the inspector

young lady who stayed at home and kept house for her old dad every pleasant after noon jack and jill went up the hill not to fetch a pail of water but to get an excellent view of tne narbor which was obtained from a certain high point of land jh1 s father was a maker of nov elties and his shop was a familiar landmark on main street even the old fashioned frontyard was a toyland in itself for a dozen little indians paddled their own canoes jolly jack tars juggled miniature oars and gaily painted windmills spun merrily in the breeze all for the benefit of the passerby the old toy manufacturer carved his toys in the rear of the store while his lovely daughter attended to the customers and business was exceedingly good for a vacationist seldom left seaport without buying a souvenir of the quaint little vil lage that was how jack had be come acquainted with jill he short short story complete in this issue dropped in one day to purchase a sailor boy to do police duty atop his private garage one glimpse of jill and jack bought a small navy of sailor boys it was almost a fortnight how ever before he plucked up enough courage to invite jill to go ridmg jill was willing but her father was skeptical better stick to your own kind was his simple logic these city fellers are all right in their place but when they take up with a poor little country girl no good can come of it at length the old man too was won over by jack s steady brown eyes and jill experienced the first thrill of her lifetime jill couldn t dance she didn t as pire to wear parisian gowns but si e was real and she knew the rough coastcountry as a manner knovs the seven seas under her gu dance jack piloted his car over m les and miles of sand dunes together they picnicked in qutel coves together they swam in sun- k ssed bays and jack marveled at jill s dexterity and fearlessness in the water she was a graceful un tamed gull that describes her and in the privacy of his room an en chanting young bachelor found him self whistling i m falling in love with someone jill never guessed that jack s friendship was of a deeper nature until the afternoon they discov ered the hill the girl had sighted a big liner and with childish glee was picturing herself aboard it bound perhaps for foreign lands jack hadn t even seen the steamer but was content to gaze upon the delightful contour of jill wistful little face quite abruptly he seized her in his arms and cried jill i love ou i ve got to have you say you will be mine always the girl s surprise overpowered her emotions she had no sense of oy or dismay i 11 see she so d and her voice sounded far away october came and jack s return t the city was imperative upon his last day in seaport he called with the car to take jill for a final sp n when she joined him she car rd a tiny white windmill under her arm please take me to our h ii she exclaimed as she seat rri herself beside him i want to nkc my claim jack wondered all the way to their rtest nation but he nsked no ques- t ns when they reached the top f the h jl jill produced two nails d th tl e aid of a stone she fn tencd the windmill in a branch of turd o tree then with a p ere of red crayon she wrote jiek and jill upon one side of i o windmill what the big idea asked jack impatientlv i m going to let fate decide our destinies jill replied solemnly two months from now i want you to come back to seaport if our names have weathered the storms f they are still clear and distinct why i 11 be yours for always but f just two months later jack re turned to seaport the roads were snowbound almost impassable so he and jill made the trip to the hill on snowshoes the inscription on the windmill was as clear as the day jill had written it no one saw the lovers embrace nothing broke the silence save the intermittent whir of the little white windmill and no one except jill knew of the tramp she had taken the day before for the pur pose of retracing the words jack and jill which only goes to prove that vity girls or country girls theres a blue bit of schemer in them aft the rotuiation changes at the end of 1938 canada had a total population of 11200000 and lessthan half of them live in the rural section of the dominion this is quite a change from the position which once prevailed in canada sixty years ago over 80 per cent of canadians lived on farms and even by the beginning of the present century 63 per oent of the people lived on farms but the pro portion has gradually decreased and in 1031 for the first time there were more people in towns and cities than on thefarms being 5572058 urban ad 4804728 rural tne change is further emphasized by the fact that in 1871 there were only 14 dues 79 towns and 134 til lages m canada and 60 years later there were 113 cities 476 towns and 1017 villages and the clues grew tremendously in these sixty sears montreal gained in population from 256000 to 818000 toronto from 181- 000 to 031000 and vancouver which had only 13000 people in 1b71 is now the third largest city with a popu lation of 346000 closer to home we find that kitchener a town of 7000 in j871 went up to over 30000 in 1931 andtbrt william gained from a town smaller than hanover of to day to be a city of 36000 people it is interesting to recall by the way out of over 1000 people in can ada 518 were males and 483 females hanover post for quick returns
