CANA DIAN Ask for CAî4 AD IAN NATrIONAL Handbill PACIFI T91 Brctherhood Banquet At Enniskillen Us WeII Attended In a room decorated with green and white tee men of the En- niskillen Brotherhood and guests sat down to a table laden with food, beld in Enniskillen S. S. room. on Marcb l9tb. This was the occasion 0f teir annual banquet and the ladies of tee circuit had really excclled tbcmselves in do- ing their share. Many men had to stop eating for want of space to put the delicious cakes and pies. The waiters were always on band as soon as the plates showcd any psign of bareness. After the last dish of pie and ice cream had dis- appeared President Merle Tbomp- son called tee gathering to order and proposed the toast to te King; Rev. E. A. Harding gave the Toast to tee Churcb. Let us re- member who is behind the Churcb and not make tee Church an end in itself. Rev. W. C. Smith, Cour- tice, made reply to this Toast in asking teat we all give the Church tee support it needs. Rev. H. H. Lackey of Enniskil- len, introduced tee speaker, Dr. Archer Wallace, Toronto, was born in England. Dr. Wallace gave an intelligent and bumorous ad- dress. His address consisted of a cosnparison between two process- ions. One of the processions was led by a woman burying ber son, the other procession was led by Jesus. Dr. Wallace illustrated bow these two processions can be found in our own lives. He stated, that, altbough it iooked different to other people, a person with a sore toc bad as much worry as a person wite cancer. The only dis- appointmcnt in this lecture was for those who could not attend because of bad roads. Everyone is looking forward to hearing Dr. Archer Wallace again. A higb class programn followed this lecture. Howard Foley, Maple Grove, who bas bclped our Bro- therhood s0 many times, once again gave us some humorous readings; Allen Wearn and "Blon- die" Stevens gave several selec- tions on guitars and mouth organ; Enniskillen quartette, Bruce Ash- ton, John Siemon, Orville Ashton and M. Preston, gave several well received numbers. We were for- tunate in having the services of the Orono Brass Quartette, espcc- ially as it was band practice night in Orono. The President called upon sev- eral guests to say a few words. Mr. W. Yellowlees, President of Hampton Brotherhood and A. L. Pascoe, spoke a few words of greetings. From Bowmanville we had Mr. E. A. Summers, Agricul- tural Representative; Dr. C. W. Slemon and Dr. H. Ferguson. We were sorry Mr. R. Virtue of Osh- awa, had to leave early. Mr. Geo. McLaughlin, Oshawa, sent bis re- grets that he could not-be present. Mr. Hoskin of Burkcton, moved a vote of tbanks to the ladies. This was certainly well deservcd. Mr. Tbompson tbanked ail who had bclped to make the evening a success. The executive for next year is: President-Milton Stainton; Vice- President-Waliace Pascoe; Sec.- Treas.-Frank A. MeMullen; Com- mittees-Enfield, Walter Fergu- son; Burketon, Archie Aldread, Harold Gi; Enniskillen, Lloyd Ashton, Allen Wearn; Pianist- Jack Smith; Song Leader-.S. L. Stevens. As this was the last meeting for our President a vote of thanks was given to bim for tee splendid work he bad donc. AUl agreed that he bad fillcd bis position well.

"I have the small car waiting at the side entrance." They both ran from the building and soon were on the trail of the blonde siren who had so lately preceded them, and' who, they boped, would soon be caught in ber own mesh. They reached the apartment house, and rushed to the elevator. Losing no time, they arrived just at the mo- ment xvhen the fair lady within the door had almost given up hope. "Hurry, hurry," she heard a voice say - the voice of the waiter who had poured the wine and who had helped her to remove the drugged victima - but where was that foreign accent he had affect- ed? The door creaked, and closed. Thère was a rustling of paper, and a shout as another voice, the voice of ber fascinating little of- ficer, was heard. "Take these plans, and go in the grey car to the aerodrome. Give themn into the hand of number twenty-two. The plane will be waiting." "Yes, sir," said the other voice, "I shal not forget - number twenty-two." "There is another who will not forget that either!" the voice con- tinued dramatically. "B eh in d those curtains, you'll find the wo- man. Take her with you, and hand her over to number seventy- five. He will know what to do with ber. She'll be placed where she can't play the old game any longer. Unfortunately, we are not always so lucky - but this time - weil, it's ail on us!" The curtains were swung apart, but the little blonde knew nothing more, for with a swift sleight of hand, she had unfasteneçi the lock of the casement, and had thrown herself over the ledge - to her doom. "It's just as well," said the of- f icer, "one way or another. What an unfortunate blend - the charms of a lovely woman, the voice of a nightingaie, and ail the in- stincts of a vulture." Hampton Brotherhood1 The Brotbcrhood meeting at Zion was attended by about 90 men and a fine supper was servcd by the Zion young men Wednes- day night. Dick Graham, Live Stock De- partment of Agriculture, Toronto, gave an informative talk on phases of the war and bow it af- fected the farmers as food pro- ducers. It was interesting and in- structive. Capt. Johnny Graves of the S. Army, Oshawa, spoke briefly on the Salvation Army War Camn- paign and intiniatcd that A. T. Stainton and A. L. Pascoe werc collecting for the same. Murray Short and Clifford Mil- ler gave piano instrumentais, and B. G. Stevens and Ewart Leask gave readings, and Chas.

WiHEN BIRDS RETURN Whcn birds return, 'tis then I .know That* spring is in the air; For it's their season when to love, And sing and mate and pair. The mornings will be doubly full Of each bird's nesting-song, And ail the little happy throats Will throb the whole day long. And soon spring flowers will appear In greatly varied bloom, And push their petals through the ground, From old eartb's winter tomb. And snow, that laid o'er ail the fields, And ice that houscd the stream, Will softly melt and fade away, In spring's warm, unseen steam. 'Tis then that young folks fancy will Be turned to thoughts of love, And moons and stars at night, to them, Will brighter seem above. And children's romping, laughing abouts Wili ring the wliole long day, As down the walks with scooters, skates, They tear in childbood's play. Yes, when the birds return, I know That spring is very near, And winter's winds and cold and snows Will rest for days more clear. -RALPH GORDON. 628 Crawford St., Toronto. I CANADIAN GARDEN SERVICE I By Gordon Lindsay Smith Nursery Stock Nursery stock is the general name given to hardy perennial shrubs, flowcrs, vines, trees and roses that are grown for one to three years from sccd in a nur- sery before being sold to garden- ers and fruit growers. Like seed it is important to secure such stock fromn a repu- table source and one that is fa- miliar and caters to Canadian conditions. Good stock is pliable, green and shows plenty of live buds. Roots are moist and well wrapped to exelude the air. Such will grow readily when planted. Brittie wood, wrinkled buds, or none at aIl, and exposcd dry roots are an indication of inferior, usually cheap stock. If it grows at ahl it will take years to make a real showing. Plant It Early Nursery stock should bc plant- ed as soon as the soil is fit to work and if purchased before this time or if inconvenient to plant in permanent positions, roots should be temporarily covered w i t h! moist earth or plants should be stored in a cool dark cellar and roots kept moist. As with all growîng tbings, one must allow for full developmcnt. As a general rate, at least haif as much space must be lef t.betwecn as shrubs, flower or tree will reach at maturity. Thus the most commun type of Spirea, the Van Houttéi, which reaches a full height of six to eight feet in most, parts of Canada should be plant- ed three to four feet apart, or the same distance fromn walk, wall or fence, for decorative effect. For a hedge bowever it may be plant- cd dloser. Thrcc Common Mistakes The three most common and serious mistakes of the gardening beginner are planting too early, too close, and too deep. Often be is out digging and sowing weeks too soon in the hope no doubt of surprising his wife and astound- ing the neighbors. With the general run of vege- tables and flowers, there is no, advantage in getting things in while there is still danger of seri- ous frost. One set-back from a cold day or two completely offsets the early start and may indeed mean replanting the wholc gar- den. This caution of course does not apply to very hardy vege- tables or flowers or to grass sced. These should be sown just as soon as the ground is f it to work. A second common mistake is planting too deeply. Authorities recommend as a general rule only sowing to a depth of four times the diameter of the seed. This means that things like peas and beans will be covered with about an inch of soul but tiny seeds such as lettuce and poppies wiil be merely pressed in. Spacîng is important as even the enthusiast does flot care toi spend much time kneeling and thinning. Labor can be saved by properly spacing the seed as planted. Corn, beets, peas and similar plants with big seeds can easily.*be sown at the distances advocated on the packet. With tiny seeded lettuce or alyssum, however, it is praétically impos- sible to space by hand but if the seed is first mixed with a little sand and the whole sown care- fully plants will be spread out. Planning Prevents Jungles, One can do wonders with flow- ers alone, but still more amazing results will follow where we com- 'bine flowers skilfully with grass, winding walks, shrubbery and bits of stone work. In this com- bining, however, we must take care flot to reproduce a jungle. A little preliminary planning and a rough sketch drawn approxi- mately to scale will help wonder- fully. Flowers and shrubbery must not be s0 crowded that they become spindly and weak. Little flowers must not be hid- den by taîl things like full size marigolds, cosmos or zinnias. Beds must be so arranged that we can keep down weeds and refflve fading foliage. Abovre all we must, remember that unless we are' very skilful, it is best to use a fair amount of lawn as a fore- ground for our flowers. Lawns are almost vital in creating gar- den pictures. There's One Un Our Neighborhood Some feilows get away with anything. There's one in our neighborhood. Morals don't mean a thing to him. He's unmarried and lives openly with a woman be's crazy about; and he doesn't care what tlbe neighbors say or think about it either. He has no regard for truth or law. The duties of the so-called citizens are so much bunk as far as he is concerned. He doesn't vote at elections. He neyer thinks of paying a bull. He's not even interested in a job and is content to live off bis parents. We have seen hlm take a two- dollar taxi ride without giving the driver so much as a pleasant look. The driver only stared at him and muttered something silly. He won't go to church, can't play cards, or dance, or fool around with musical instruments or the radio. So tar as is known, he has no intellectual or cultural interests at ail. He neglects his appearance ter- ribiy. He's so indolent he would let the bouse burn down before Phone 2653 SSPECIAL TIP TOP"q Representative - on - THURSDAY APRIL 4 A special repre-, sentative of thTi -Top Clothing will be ln our store al dayr Thurs., April 4th.
