ontario apple crop prom the standpoint of quality this years apple crop is one of the best ontario haa ever gathered said hon john s martin minister of ag riculture in viewing of this fact the government feels justified in particu larly commending h to the people of ontario and elsewhere wo have a special interest in the crop because in the early growing months we were able to render considerable assistance to tho growers in spraying tho trees and the application ot the best meth ods of production partly due to this fact an extraordinary percentage of tho crop will grade no 1 we feci hatthbconmimexra should take ftd- vantage of the opportunity to secure this high class orchard product it will be available everywhere at mod erate prices in order to facilitate the marketing of this splendid crop the minister added the department is rendering assistance in two ways in the first place it is supervising the grading and handling t guaranteeing tho price in connection with exports of certain leading stsuiiard varieties to the extent of 25000 barrels most of this will go into undeveloped markets and as it will bear the government stamp it is expected to establish the name of ontario for apples of high quality a large portion of the crop will of course go to the british mar ket and the western market bat there will be plenty left for the people in ontario in order to bring this op portunity to tho ouention of all the people the department is sponsor ing an advertising campaign which will place the value of apples prom inently before the consumer iy means of the dally and weekly press con sumers will not only get good value for their money but will also assist in establishing more firmly an import ant branch of our ftult industry the apples will be handled through the regular channels or trade and all that is necessary for the consumer to do is to ask for canadian apples behind the advertising of ontario apples will be an intensive merchan dising effort in which all fruit dealers wholesale and retail and all growers are invited to cooperate mr martin is one of the most extensive adver tisers of poultry and poultry pro ducts in america ho has a wide oxperience in advertising and other business promotion methods 1 use pi no up to tho coiralu of the 2 bar hunch that morning bill taggnrt looked as uleepv and stupid as a ground owl on a hot august day his baby was sick walking the floor all nhjht after twelve hours in the saddlo will subduo even a wiry cowman his wife had been down at tuscon to visit her parents and since her return the child had been ailing ho was tho only baby on the ranch and all of the boys felt more than an ordinary interest in him what dye reckonbtho matter with the little feller asked curley soli citously his throats all swelled up an ho cant swallow good said taggart lan guidly singling out a mustang tor the days mount wouldnt surprise me none if it was dipthery said curley shut up you locoed fool big bon growled see what jou done to bill taggart face had turned white in spite of twenty years of arizona sun and wind and he let the mustang dodge his rope and mingle with the bunch of milling saddle horses doyle tho foreman called out just then to know whether tho line riders were going to be all day cinching up 1 want to get off this morning said taggart i got to go for a doc tor doyle came riding down to the cor rals after looking at taggarts face he said gruffly you go back to tho house and help your wife take care or that sick baby curley can ride over to dugout for doctor mayberry youll catch em next amljoswoet irt comin next week rawley tried to keep on laugh iff but his laughtei had a hollow sound after a mlnuto his fuco gicw sober i think i had cm when i was a boy the a two kins the black und tho white mumps you dunno what kin you had awrjouro thinking of tho measles arent you said doyle uneasily rawley caught the mumps so tor that matter did all tho rest of ui on the home ranch that is all except taggart big ben looked as if ho were trjlng to conceal an apple in each cheek shorty another of the men resembled a berkshire pig m jaws puffed out like toy balloons tone of us could endure tho torture of the saddle und we sat round snarling an j yowling like a bunch of big jawed bobcats not a man of the chuck- wagon gang of herders would como wlthln three miles of tho ranch hojse it was strange that bui taggart escaped for ho could not remember that he had ever had the mumps his ylfc shut herself up in the house and declared that no one except her- hus band should gaze upon he affliction if such a thing were possible raw- ley looked worse than any of us he is a handsome man of the big stal wart typo ho has fine brows dark eyes a straight nose a silky black moustache and a squarecut chin now however his face resembled n full moon his eyes were sunk out of sight a stubby beard covered his pro trudlng jowls for he could not bear th iwim nnd r will tnke vour pla thn rfn hviw canadian store cattle on the british market one of the outstanding results of the removal of the embargo and the consequent entrance of canadian store cattle on the brlthda markets haa been a steadying of the local markets every where in canada it is trqe that over seas prices have cot shown an ex- ceptional profit o home markets ex- ccpt irtthe case of cattle snipped from extreme eastern points nor generally have those skipped been responsible for any losses and this outlet has cer tainly steadied the home market to a remarkable extent 7n6lher tmporcanl n present situation is the increasing pop ularity of canadian store cattle on the british market shipments overseas to the middle of september this year are 23 5 per cent hdfber than for the same period in 1921 when it is con sidered that this increase has taken place in spite of hlcn freight rates and a lack of adequate ocean shipping facilities due largely to the fact that there is insufficient west bound freight no fear need be entertained regarding the popularity of canadian cattle on the british markets a further consideration is that under present conditions in great britain the meat prices being rjiibvlt would ap pear that while irast is available livo stock is not which would point to a continuance of high prices for beef and consequently a continued demand for canadian store cattle it will not be out of place to men ttrfnftiat tin fj result of many mental shipments which are to be continued it hat been found that the handy weight steer 1- a 1000 1100 pounds fairly well fleshed but not fat of good bfocky type and showing uniformity and breedlnees in type and color is the steer txut will best meet the above mentioned continued de mand it would seem uiereforc that the breeder feeder and swpper of store cattle may look forward to a con tlnued profitable market for his pro duce provided he has the right kind particularly la this true of the mart- time provinces whre a short land freight haul and ocean shipment at ahy time of the year enables the ship per to realise a areattw profit than his western competitor oeorge w mulr chief assistant division of animal husbandry today he glanced meaningly at mc rawley doyle is only the fore man of the 2 bar whereas i am tho sole owner thereof but there never haa been any question who realfy rules the ranch rawley had managed the place six years for my uncle before i came into possession and as he cer tainly mokes a profit we let it go at that obediently i walked up to the house and got into a pair of riding boots and a flannel shirt a little later we were galloping across tho plain in the fresh fall air doyle was preoccupied and silent all the morning he even forgot to run after be had pulled a longhorn cow out of a bog hole and while we were resting at noon he absentmindedly stepped on a rattler that bad crawled out to enjoy the sun the excitement of killing the snake aroused rawley somewhat and as we started for home he told me something a person he thought a great deal of in fact his betrothed miss elinor curtis of terre haute was coming to visit him at tho 3 bar she would arrive about thanks giving time isnt that er rather unconven tional i remarked no it isnt said rawley indig nantly shes bringing her aunt for chaperon and there is mrs taggart to look after them at tho ranch and its her aunt that insists- on coming you see she raised elinor and her kid brother the boy ran away from home about a year ago the last trace they got of htm he was heading west from by paso elinor says they can see now that they kept harry tied too close to their apron strings even taught him to cook his aunt is de termined s come out and search for him in person after a pause rawley said i sup pose wo might give elinor and her aunt mary a thanksgiving dinner at the ranch we shouldnt have to buy anything extra except the turkeys and a few other things ah sing is a fine cook i knew that it was useless to pro- teat if doyle bad made up bis mlnd to entertain his fiancee with a thanks giving dinner moreover i rather liked the idea myself i was longing ror something to break the monotony o ra hfe twhen we rode up to the corrals that evening curley and doctor mayberry had just arrived curley had to wait some time at dugout until the doctor other- c without guessedthatiiisnirybpeechrand carcr- drug smuogliinq ingenious devices many ingenious devices are used by those engaged in smuggling drugs into us country a favorite method is to nse artificial flowers for concealing cocaine opium and other drugs one consignment of opium was smugglm through the stalks of artificial popples while co- cjfclne has been found in violets vege jtam0agrevsninote iatlsfntnry from wtnt of view for quite t0n eon all stopping tp unsaddle we went down to taggarts house to hear the verdict on the sick baby taggart and his wife held thblr breath while the doctor examined the baby bui was about forty years old when he married an oldmaid school teacher and what both of them knew about babies could be written on cactus pad we boys crowded into the roafti and hung around looking very anxloua and sympathetic we all fear ed the worst but none of us were pre pared for- the agitated explosion thn came from old doctor mayberry think of calling me all the way from dugout on n case like this he exclaimed why didnt you send to ch for a specialist whats wrong with tho baby i asked falterlngly is it as serious as all that serious jnyo but a l ut c ould have known what ail ed the child at first sight hes got the mumps we were so much relieved over ita being nothing worse that wo burst out laughing much to tho indignation of taggart and his wife who thought that mumps was no laughing matter the next morning rawley and the chinese cook prepared a list of things that we should need for tho thanks giving dinner and i wrote a check we sent the list to a commission bouse in phoenix several nights later curley began to grumble about the food whats the matter with them there pickles ah sing he complained theyre polsoneo aint you got sense nough-to- taste yourgrubbefore you force it on us boys ah sing protested in many broken phrases that there was nothing wrong with the pickles better let doyle sample em big ben suggested a man in love ought to be utgood judge of pickles rawley tasted the pickles and pro nounced them excellent then we all had a taste and agreed with doyle we urged curley to try another yaw he cried holding his jaws i tell you theyre poisoned i can feel at eatln right into my tongue he got un from the table and stalked angrily away the next morning curley was the last man do arrive at breakfast as he paused before the mirror to plaster down the flshook of haycolored hair on his forehead he gave a whoop of dismay didnt i tell you them pickles was elsonedt look at what they done jby face 5- we soojeed we afso laughed we it help it- the sight of those lout jaws beneath the thin nose bones and narrow forehead the solmen ah sing to ipualjv got the mumps i roared t em from taggarts made us forget our own misery for a time and to see him sadly regarding himself in the mirror wa m fun than a roping bee whathi do ho groaned t cant let elinor see me looking like this send her a telegram not to come i said with much effort rawley composed the following please postpone visit ranch got the mumps bill taggart carried the message to dugout he took a wagsn to haul some of tho supplies for tho thanks giving dinner and while he was still in town back came a reply from miss curtis aunt and 1 both had mumps ar rive dugout wednesday morning while wc were gasping over the message ah sing appeared with a towel round his jaws and saidt me sick no cookee glub go take long rest wanteo pay now in spite of our entreaties threats and bribes he took his scanty belongings and departed calmly ignoring the in sults that rawley doyle hurled after him it was that afternoon that the tramp arrived he was mounted on a rat- tailed calico broncho with a blanket for a saddle he said we could call him perclval montressor or john smlt h just ah we chose for neither was his name where he came from and whether he was bound was his own business but he would like a place to sleep and something to cat ho was about seventeen years old it struck me that a hair cut a bath and some clean clothing would make great improvement in his appear ance we dont care anything about jr our antecedents previous habitation or future abode said rawley and we will call you the tramp but if you can do anything like a mans work you ye welcome to stay round hero on wages until some f us are well enough to get on the job again you had the mumps years ago when i was a boy said the tramp airily just aa soon stay on the 2 bar awhile as anywhere so rawley led him down to the cor rnla and turned him over to bill tag gart doyle took a violent dislike to the boy and bill reported that he was the ignorantest smartaleck that he had ever seen ontheranch but from the wistful look in his big blue eyes i me an i to let me go as noon us tho dinner it ovei v ho uskedt yes now put ydul uiqii on and get back to work uala doyle miss curtlas and her aunt anlvod at tho raiuh about four oclock at sight of ull nor kawloy forgot all about hla chnngot appearance and rushedfor- wntd with arms extended

ami slept with tho windows nail ed down the door locked and tho koy about dig bens i neck on a throng early the next morning they escorted him to tho cook shack where curley stood buard ovor him until noon tho thanksgiving dinner began with milch merriment the chuchwagon gang and the herders whoso fears had been entirely overcome by a desire for turkoy a curiosity to sco miss curtis and a chance to jeer at our distorted faces were there to the last man some of them caught the mumps but they afterwards said that thoy would risk of small pox for another feast like that even mrs taggart venturod out and forgot all about her swollen jaws in the fuss that everyone made over the baby we seated ourselves at tho long tables in the dining room and when big ben and shorty who had volunteered to servo v as waiters brought in the turkey the boys gave three raneers yell you must have a very fine cook said aunt mary after tasting the tur key this oyster dressing tastes just ritke mtnc unconscious egotism 4 thats because you taught me how to make it aunt mary we glanced up startled tn tho doorway stood the tramp no it was only a big homesick boy with tears in his eyes flurry screamed miss curtis my hoy my boy at last sobbed aunt mcary staggering to her fcot and holding out her arms well after the excitement had died down somewhat horry told us about himself it was not much of a story through inexperience with the west he bad failed to find work and he was too proud to write home for money in desjtalr he had exchanged his clouiins and other belongings for the ruttailed vayuse and had struck out across the plains in a land whero good cooks are always in demand it had never occurred to him to put to use the training jhat he had unwilling ly received from his sister and aunt to think v that you were elinors brother said doyle placing bis rough hand on harrys shoulder you im pudent young rascal ivo a notion to thraih you for not telling me 4 lovers nlways

supper time with ah sing gone it had fallen to doyle and me to prepare the meal the boy bc- gan to eat aa if ho were famished but after a while he pushed back his plate jn disgust what kind of a cook do you keep here anyway he asked see here you halfgrown coyote cub if you dont like our grub you can vamoose on down the troll said doyle angrily the boy shrank buck looking rather frightened and i said in a kinder tone our chinese cook deserted us to day tho tramp turned to jne ly perhaps i could he began then 2ebwaggredo4ua4cet gimme apron and show me thcjvaxw the cook shack ho said an hour later we sat down to a meal that convinced us that ah sing was a fnero ameteur even our swollen jaws and leather tongues did not pre vent us from eating heartily s that cheeky young scamp has got to cook our thanksgiving dinner uld rawley to me after breakfast the ncx morning he riles mo every time he opens his mduth but he can cookl wusnt thoso biscuits of his find we went out to the cook shack whero the tramp was washing tho breakfast dishes rawloy briefly ox- plained matters t the boy hesitated und looked at me with appealing eyes i never tried a big affair like that- he said then i was nearlng forty when qlster marys youngest little phyllis came to iive with rne her m having died suddenly and i bavipg more time and room to tako core of her than slater xucxle did though lizzie was set on having hertoo and phyllis cried to go home with her after tho funeral sister lizzie always had a kind or taking way about her that made people want to be with her but is was decided that sho was to come to me and dreadful glad i was to have the child too for i was get ting more than a little lonesome living mo- alono there in the old house and bomohow or other i see fewcrcrtendb and visitors than over people never seemed to take much to me borno way though i had always tried to do my duty and was active 1nchnrchwork and glvlngto and all that i certainly tried to do good as well as i knew how i never was any hand at saying nice things to people however much i felt them i prided myself on speaking my mind free and open and held it to be the part of a true friend to point out tho faults and failings but folks never seemed to take it tho way it was given somehow i always told them it woe for their own good that i did it but they just looked sort of a cross be tween hurt and put out and pretty soon they stopped coming any moro i stood to feel that action spoke louder than wcifds and so i took out my friendliness for people in sending them a batch of doughnuts or a fresh goose berry pie nowandthen bteorjtd ciear of me more than over got kind of bitter about it after a while and didnt care whether i was liked or not or pretended to myself i didnt but for all that i was just starving hungry for love and to have some one around that really cared for me and so when it was sottled that i was to have phyllis i says to myself i aint never had any lover norno chlek nor child and i aint oven had many friends i says but now dl have some body to love mc at last i suyai anil i just couldnt hardly wait till alio come sho was tho prlttlest kind of a llttlo thing nbout fifteen or so und i loved her right from tho start and was tcrrlll iiroud of her too though you muj well bellqve i nevei let her know it feeling as 1 dldljthat children ought to bo krlrtr in their- place of course i thought she had a foolish soit of a ttcstloais why do you find better workman ship in mclaughlin- buick motor cars of course i was burned terrible and ft was a day and a night before i know anything at all but all the tlmo l was unconscious it soemod to me i could hear that awcet voice calling for lla- zlo so loud and piercing that it hurt my face and hands and ached in my throat and smarted in my eyes the pain of the burn i suppose when i camo to finally i just laid there all dono up in bandages- think ing about it all and wishing i had died in the fire i was in dreadful agony but that wasnt nothing to the way dt hurt me when i thought how i had looked forward to her coming and had even saved her from a fear ful death and then her pnly thought had been for llzzlo that she hadnt known but a few days and that hod never done anything lor hor it was her she loved not mo and i knew then that she woutd never love me i could hear her voice speaking soft- like somewhere in the room but i was too slckheartcd and full of bit terness to say anything i didnt want her at all if i couldnt have her love then i got to thinking about that love chapter that had been read in meeting just before the fire and all of a sudden one verso in it camo to me llko a thunderclap and if i glvp my body to be burned and havo not love it proflleth me nothing it al came over iio then llko a flash just how 11 was id been want ing and wanting love all my life and hadnt never give any 4d been ex pecting people to love mo for tho good that i did and my trying to live right and making

butrirlmdnrneverbeen loving my eyes was so burned and band aged that i couldnt see a bit but i called phyllis nndi called her phyllis too for tho first time and not martha and sh come allying to the
