Scout- ing and Cubbing more than ever cries with a loud voice, "Give us women." 'Undoubtedly the top notch of the first day's Conference was reached in the evening banquet and meeting pre- sided over by His nour, Lieut.

Other valuable 'speeches followed which will be re- ported elsewhere. The atmosphere of this meeting was electrical--it bub- bled over. Yells and explosions punc- and the singing just lifted one up. RI 'The second session of the Confer- ence was particularly instructive to leaders. Take, for instance, the talk Commissioner Hill of Hamilton, fol- lowed by an address by Mr. Hoyes Lloyd of the Dominion Parks Branch, Ottawa, oun "Bird Life Conservation" and also one on "Forestry" by Arthur H. Richardson, of the Ontario Forestry. "The special evening feature of the second day was that dealing with Cub work, when a special program featur- ing a Model Wolf Cub Pack Meeting was put on. It was apparemt to all TIS |; regent the distinction between Scout- ing and Cubbing and 'the desirability of not mixing two together. The importance of correctly dealing with lade of Cub age was made evident, | | while {t was pointed out that a very |re large part of the Cub program should be made up of suitable games which would employ the wonderful imagina- tive powers of small boys. There is a great future for Cubbing and it is hoped that men and women will take up this work in every part of Ontario. The delegates have now scattered to their various homes in different parts of the country, carrying with them new ideas, larger visions, and firmly resolved to-put more time and energy into the valuable work of Scouting for boys, Semmes S-- ".

Are you mervcus, is your sleep dis- turbed so that rest does not refresh you?

Francis, of Cal- gary, Alta, says of this tonic. "After returning from overseas," writes Mr. Francis, "my whole system was in a badly run down condition.

Breeders of live stock are facing problems to-day that require expert business-like handling. The high cost of feed, labor and heavy overhead expenses are matters the average farmer find confronting him every day. - Successful « farmers have always realized the value of good breedings in live stock. Testimonies from these men are easily obtained and should convince the most skeptical that the only way to beat the labor situation, cost of feed, etc, is te keep only those animals that are bred _ to produce either milk or beef. The surveys comducted by Prof. Leitch in the different counties all go to prove that where farmers are using pure bred sires, in either beef or dairy herds, they are making greater in- comes with practically the same quantity of feed. When we consider that these figures were obtained from actual farmers, lying under average farm conditions, we can hardly discredit them. Liberal feeding of Inferior live stock, it. was shown, was Hot as great a fac- tor in increasing the labor income as was the use of pure bred sires.

A ( EASY T RICKS mh Magnetism Q This trick is done with an Eng- Hish walnut, selected at random from a pile on the table. The magician strokes the walnut, as- serting that he is magnetizing it. Presently he gives evidence that he has spoken truly because the walnut clings to his finger tip as if his finger were a magnet and the walnut a bit' of steel. But that isn't the true explana. tion. While stroking the walout the magician opened one end of it very slightly. With a little pres- sure this-can be done with any English walnut that isn't too fresh, This will pinch the skin of the fore- finger and will hold, although a lit- tle spake will dislodge it.

It is surprising how much of the past still remains. more especially in re- gard fo the clothes we wear. On the back of most gloves will be found three thin stripes. These marks cor- respond to the fourchette pieces be- tween the fingers. In earlier times gloves were not made so neatly as they are to-day, and the stitching of the fingers was car- ried down part of the"*way on to the back of the glove, braid being used to conceal the seams. To a similar reason the clock on a sock owes its origin. In the days when stockings were made of cloth, the seam occurred where the clocks are now displawed, the decoration be- ing used to hide the seams. The little bow which will invariably be found in the leather band inside a man's hat is a suryival of the time when a hat was made by taking a plece of leather, boring two holes through it, and drawing it together with a piece of string. Handkerchiefs wore not always square. At one time they were shaped to the user's fancy. It.chanced that this irregularity displeased Marie An- toinette, who suggested ome .winter evening at Versailles that a uniform | shape would be an indication of good | taste. , The result was a decree by | Louis XVI, issued in the early days of 1785, enacting that all pocket-hand- kerchlefs should have -right-angled edges. iis When ordering goods by mall send a Dominion Express Money Order. -------- Queer Heirloom.

She says that Clovelly is situated on the North Dovonshire coast, on a bay of the sea, and sheltered from the Atlantic winds and storms by great brown cliffs on either side. It is Hterally built upon the face of a rocky hill, its one narrow street, the High Street, fs well named, for it is made in the form of cobbled-stone steps, which mount from the sea to the summit of the hill. "So narrow and precipitous is this street that no vehicles of any kind can be used in Clovelly. Only patient, sure-footed donkeys go up and down, carrying panniers of fish or vegetables, and sometimes children or grown-ups, too, who take this easier way of mounting from sea to hill, These donkeys are part of the charm of Clovelly. Long-eared, shag- gy, and patient, they climb up and down, down and up, for hours, driven by sturdy, brown-legged lads who are as sure-footed as they from long ex- perience in climbing over atones. Then, their work over for a few mo- ments, they sleep In the sunihine, dreamily flicking away the files with their long ears and short, stubby tails.
