Frequent rains, to- with an abundance of weather favorable to crop' growth, has made prospects for a bumper 'crop particu- larly hopeful. ¥ me emcee Let him not complain of bei Sheated who buys clot! pa A who buys. Pp what the birds are doing for a 's worst enemies. , 88 well as the city resi- commencing to appre and' Ba antagonistic to them. In the. olden days every farmer had s gun! awalting the arrival of the birds, and many of them were shot down while doing the work which the farmer, could not do--saving his food supply. Have you ever watched a robin on the lawn, and wondered what he did with all the insects and worms he picked up? The robin eats at certain seasons of the year about double its weight in insects und worms every day. His dinner hour is continuous, commencing at sunrise and not finish< ing until after sunset; he works long 1| hours, digging and picking, to pro- vide food for his family. Apart frem {ts benefit to man as a savior of his crops, what is more interesting than to watch the wild birds as they go from place to place, from tree to tree, singing or chirping meanwhile? The birds give their protective service to man without charge---they ask no pay except to be let alone. And the farm- er is wise who will let his gun rust out behind the kitchen door before he turns it upon his best friends- -the birds. Extension of Old Age Pension Approved by British House A despatch from London says:--A quarter of a million elderly persons in Great Britain will benefit as a result of the extension of the old age pen- gions scheme which has received the approval of the House of Commons. Philip Snowden, Chancellor of the Exchequer, when introducing the nec- essary financial resolution, said single persons having an income not neces- sarily earned, of 26 shillings weekly, will be entitled to 10 shillings pension weekly, and married couples whose income is 50 shillings weekly, will be entitled to one pound sterling jointly per week. The cost of the additional scheme will be £4,000,000 in the first year, but will rise to £7,000,000. The proposals, said the Minister, in mowise could be regarded as a final settlement of the problem of old age pensions. He hoped shortly to submit a scheme of mothers' and widows' pensions and to reduce the age limit to 65, -------- Englishwoman Meets Adven- ture Painting African Wilds After fourteen years of painting in the wilds of Australia, South Africa and New Zealand, Miss Mabel With- ers, an English artist, is showing three collections of her pictures In London. One of her landscapes, which appears in the South African pavilion of the British Empire Exhibition, has been accepted by Queen Mary, to whom it was offered after she ex- pressed her admiration for the paint. ing. Miss Withers's search for subjects was not entirely without adventure. Once in Bouth Africa she painted all day long In blissful ignorance of the fact that two lions had been killing cattle within a few hundred yards of her. On another occasion she found a troop of. baboons separating her from her guides, but escaped un harmed. Manes ¥ Hayseed Was Growing in Farmer's Eye Hayseed blew into a man's eye and caused grass to grow there. This astonishing fact is vouched for by doctors at the Gloucestershire roy- infirmary, says a London despate A farm-worker having something in his eye which caused pain went to hospital for an operation, a surgeon made an incision above the eye and found a green blade of grass an inch and a half long. He also found hay- seed; Apparently the hayseed had be- come lodged in the corner of the sock- et and the discharge from the tear duct watered it and light had reached the seed through the eyeball sufficient 8c. | to make the grass green. a -o Hematite Has Been Found Near Michipicoten River A. despatch from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., says:--A very interesting diss | covery of hematite ore has been made by Issac and Joseph Ball, about six miles south of the Michipicoten River. Specimens of the ore show it to be a high-grade ore of good quality. The range is about two miles in length, and from 100 to 200 feet in width. Eight claims have been staked and recorded already.
