Roll film developed dio. 29 Richmond Street The BOOK SHELF By ELIZABETH EEDY PORTRAIT OF A VILLAGE By Francis Brett Young There is no Monk's Norton on the map of England, nor any one village in the orchard-laden region of Worcestershire with which may it be identified. But because the social structure of all these villages was established centuries ago, and has developed, during this period, types of personal char-gillyflower but drawing each its own strength and color from local soil and sun, it is possible, in drawing this portrait of Monk's Norton, nominally imaginary, to describe a village the inhabitants of twenty such might recognize. They Live In the Village There are the discontented; the inkeeper because he cannot con-i*;ee the bentry that the ancient oak tree doddering on the green before his door should not be cleared from the path of progress; the daughters at The Grange who have been "presented" and are so anxious to know nobody but the right people that they scarcely know anybody at all; the captain whose tragedy is that he survived his only excuse for living; the schoolmistress, shrewdly humorous and self-contained in a niche in this social structure too small for companionship, but more completely alive than anyone in the community: the man who adopted the village a lifetime ago as a summer visitor and made himself a householder and a historian patient as White of Selbourne. There is the village at work, at church, at play. There are its own sights and sounds and above all its smells--not only of gardens and their surroundings of sweetness and forest and mown hay, and the good breath of new bread, and the edible air of fallen fruit, but subtler scents such as the nutty odor of flour on bake-shop floors, the reek of singeing horn at the smith's, or the clean tang of woods by which noses alone make out the wheelwright's from the carpenter's. It is a quiet, busy book, good for retreat from the newspapers and the telephone. Jortrait Of a Village, by Francis Brett Young.

Issue No. 25--'38 An Optimism Well Founded Success brings success. That is the story behind Cress Laboratories, of Kitchener, Ontario. When Mr. Cress first put his com salve on the market, he felt that his product was so satisfactory from every angle, that it would meet with general public approval. The fact that thousands of drug and general stores throughout Canada now sell it regularly and that a complete line of foot remedies was added, on the formation of Cress Laboratories in 1931, is proof that the originator's optimism was well founded. Farming Good In Antipodes Canadian Is Impressed by Efficient Organization in Dairying Canadian agriculture, particularly the dairying branch, lacks the efficiency achieved in the Antipodes, H. B. Cowan, one of four Canadian delegates to the Empire producers' conference in Australia said on arriving home in Peterborough, Ont. "Farming conditions in both Australia and New Zealand are so vastly different from our own that it is almost impossible to make a comparison that might not be misleading," Mr. Cowan said. "I don't think we have much to learn from their wheat farmers, but in many other respects it makes your heart ache to realize how far we are behind what they have done and what we should be doing. "Some people here say we have too much organization," he continued. "If you want to see efficient control organizations you have to go to oth these countries." this fragrant dk slow-burning f| dixie \ saves money \ Lforyou/^^ DIXIE PLUG SMOKING TOBACCO ...Gardening Notes... COLORFUL WINDOW BOXES A brown or green stained window box overflowing with gaily blooming flowers is within the range of almost every person. Lack of the ground space does not matter. Even the lofty apartment dweller is able to satisfy a gardening ambition. Success is easily obtainable provided two or three points are kept in mind. This sort of gardening Is highly intensive with many more plants to the square foot than ordinarily would be grown. This means that very rich soil should be used and in addition a fairly fre- Feeding the Birds at Jack Miner's Jack Miner says "the hope of mankind is more love and the right kind of education."

Being exposed on all sides to drying winds, a thorough watering once a day of the window box is advised. The box should be as long as the window and should be arranged so that the top of it is almost flush with the window-sill. If higher, the foliage of the plants will soon fill up most of the window. There must be holes in the bottom to provide drainage, and also a layer of gravel cinders, broken crockery or similar material for the same purpose. The box, which should be at least eight inches deep and from eight to ten inches wide at the top, should be filled to within half an inch of the top with very rich soil. Along the front trailing Nasturtiums, German Ivy, Lobelia, Alyssum and similar plants are put in with Petunias, Ageratums, Begonias, Ferns, Geraniums and other plants especially recommended for this purpose farther back. Shelter from the sun for a day or two also should be provided until the plants get established.

One-half ounce of bichloride of mercury added to three or four gallons of water does make an effective remedy. This material is applied with the sprinkling can,_allowing about a gallon to each square yard of surface. Another effective remedy consists of two cup-fuls of unslaked lime added to two gallons of water. This quantity will treat a square yard. /UdandruffI Jf-V and Falling Hair, use Min- M v Clean Head and Glossy Hair j| minarp s LinimenT Peterborough Canoe Co., 268 Water St., Peterborough, Ont.
