They were wiser in their own generation, and refused to store any. Nature's bounty was not thrown in her face. Open season for partridge was of short duration this year, three days, but long enough to convince the average sportsman that the birds were scarce and far between.

"Steel of Empire," the recently published work by John Murray Gibbon, while really the story of the Canadian Pacific Railway, has so much of other Canadian history that it will find a permanent place as one of the outstanding contributions to the records of the Dominion, Starting with the first known arrival on our shores, a Chinaman, Hul Sien, in British Columbia at the end of the fifth century, Mr. Gibson traces the romantic growth of the Canadian Pacific, many centuries later, with a wealth of incident and detail, the author's long association with the railway having been of the Possessing one of the finest collections in the world of colored pictures of scenes in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, T.

WHY SHE MARRIED | Asked for Unstated Damages Frc Loan Company--Of Interest to Landlords A claim by Orville Moore of Pet< boro for unstated damages from the Toronto Savings and Loan Company, which arose out cf a bailiff's seizure early this year, was dismissed with costs by Judge Sheldon Smoke in a judgment made public on Tuesday. The case was tried in the County Court in Peterboro on July 3rd. A point cf law of particular interest to landlords was involved in the case. According to Judge Smoke's" written findings, Orville Moore, acting as bail'ff for the City of Peterboro. declared a seizure on certain goods on the premises at 410 George Street and placed a man in posession. On or about November 10, he took his man out of possession and took an undertaking from the tenant to hold the goods for him as bailiff for the city. At the same time, the tenant requested that the sale of his gcods be adjourned in order to give him an opportunity for a settlement. No further proceedings were taken by Moore under the warrant under which he had gone into possession, Judge Smoke found On January 30. the Toronto Savings and Loan issued a warrant against the tenant for rent and a Toronto Savings and Loan bailiff took possession of the tenant's goods, by reason of delay the goods were no longer in the custody of the law. He characterized the arrange ment made between Mocre and th tenant as unreasonable. The advertiserrerits bring you news of better things to have and easier ways to live.

Hon. Duncan Marshall, Minister in charge of the Department, is at present in Western Canada and he will confer with Hon. J. G. Gardiner, Federal Minister of Agriculture, and former Premier of Saskatchewan. One of the most important problems to be discussed by the two Ministers is the Farm Loan situation Ontario stopped farm loans some months ago, due to several cireumastances over which the province had no control. Last May the Federal Government stepped into the picture and began loaning sums of money to farmers. But now that there is a new government at Ottawa, and one of the same political faith as Ontario's, there is every likelihood that a plan will be worked out whereby Ontario will resume farm loans with money supplied by the Federal Treasury. Ontario has all the necessary machinery for the lending of money Su farmers, and ofifcials of the department see no reason why all this machinery and the services of a competent and experienced staff should remain idle while the Dominion Government does the job. Attempts made by the Hepburn Government to create a close relationship with the Bennett Government in all matters pertaining to Agriculture were almost entirely unsuccessful. Whether this was due in part to the fact that the government at Ottawa was Conservative and that of Ontario Liberal is not the point. The fact remains that the former government and the Ontario government did not co-operate. The situation now, however, is entirely different. OfficiaIs at Queen's Park admit freely that much can be done in the future to aid the agricultural industry, now that a Liberal regime has begun at Ottawa. "There will be greater co-operation all along the line," one official declared. "We can look forward to getting things done during the next year that could not even have been considered before." CHILDREN IN WAY The Nui the children o\ day, ma'am? Mrs. DeSwell--Oh, no, not today, think Fido needs some air today. THEY'LL DROP DEAD "How can I get rid of my i tors?" "Pay 'em something on account a they'll all drop dead." GOOD USE FOR JOKES Storng Farm Machinery Proper care should be exercised at all times to protect the large investment in farm machinery from rapid deterioration. Heat, moisture, wind, frost and direct sunlight are the most destructive elements encountered by farm equipment. Storage means protection against these deteriorating effects during the inactive life of the machines and has been found to be the greatest single factor in prolonging the life of farm machinery. The most active period of deteriora- 3n ie during the season of machin ery use. It is important, however, to profect maohinefry the year round frcm the effects of weather. Generous use of paint on all wood and metal parts, wherever the original has worn thin, and the removal to a dry shed of all slats, canvasses, knives, ploughshares, cultivator teeth, etc. immediately the machine is out of use, will help prolong the useful life of the implement. Pack all bearings with the correct grade of lubricant. Cover all exposed metal parts worn bright from use with crankcase or transmission oil before putting the machinery aside for a few days. This will keep out all dirt and moisture from the bearings, thus preventing excessive wear due to rust. Clean all seed from drill boxes, make sure that all dirt is removed from plough or one-way disk bottoms and that they are well greased before leaving. All straw, grain or weeds should be thoroughly cleaned from binders, combines, separators, cultivators, discs, etc. before greasing and painting for storage. Bright sunlight and moisture cause exposed wooden parts to warp and crack, paint applied early will prevent this destruction. Metal parts exposed will rust or wear; grease or paint will save these surfaces. Humorist--Were those Jokes of mine accepted?
