= Denrands Fruit ---- -- Soll Westery Ontario to United Kingdom As Markets Reopen ---- Held up for some considerable time due to the European war scare export movement of top quality ap- ples from Southwestern Ontarlo's fruit belt has resumed and a num- ber of carloads are leaving Chat- ham, Port Lambton and Ruthven, says the Windsor Star, While the applé harvest as a whole has been light this year, some fairly large quantities of the prime grade fruit are being picked in Essex, Kent and Lambton coun- ties at present. Choice Cranberry Pippins, Kings, Jonathans and also Greenings are on their way to mar- ket in the Old Country. Want Canadian Apples The off season for many of the larger orchards in this area has had the effect of bringing smaller growers into line for export ship- ment. Several are exporting to Great Britain for the first time. It is believed that demand for Can. adian apples on the Old Country market is holding up well. Hemisphere Reaps Biggest Crop In World's History ROME -- The northern hemi- + 6phere this year will harvest the largest wheat crop in history, the International Institute of Agricul.' ture estimated last week. The Institute forecast a crop of 105,600,000 metric tons for the area. -In 1937; the harvested crop was 91,- 700,000 metric tons, while the re- cord 1928 world wheat crop amount- ed to only 109,000,000 tons. European production this year, exclusive of Russia, according to the Institute will total 48,000,000 metric tons, while North American growers should reap a 35,700,000 ton crop. The institue estimated the Asiatic production exclusive of Rus- sia and China, at 18,700,000 tons and African at 3,200,000 tons, "Aviation In Canada Gains 3,000,000 More Miles Covered In Commercial Flights in 1937 Than in 1936 > Commercial aviation in Canada hit a new high during 1937, when 10,626,630 miles were flown as com- pared with 7,803,942 miles in 1936 and 7,622,102 miles in 1935. In these flights 2,004,087 'ton miles were carried in 1937 compared with 1,- 164,617 in 1936. Freight and express accounted for 1,891,674 ton miles in 1937 and mail for 112,413 ton miles. This compares with 1,075,029 ton miles of freight and express and 89,688 ton miles of mail in 1936, To Mining Areas The principal activity of commer- cial aircraft in Canada during the year 1937 was the carriage of the freight, passengers and mail to the mining fields -in the more remote parts of the country. The freight carried - consisted largely of mach- dnery and supplies for mines in the northern part of Quebec, Ontario and the western provinces, and the new mining areas have been open- ed up in the Northwest Territories due to the introduction of aerial transportation, and many regions rich in mineral wealth are now within a few hours flying time from large centres of population. Scat- tered throughout most of the min- ing country of the North are num- erous lakes which provide suitable landing for aircraft with floats in summer and with skis in winter. Apart from its importance as a means of transporting men and the supplies. to remote mining areas, the airplane ig used to advantage in Canada for forest fire prevention work and in mapping. Would Fence Off 'AllRace Tracks Inquiry Into Death at Thorn- dale Fair Brings Recommen- dation From Judge LONDON, -- A recommendation - that "all race tracks be fenced at least from the turn into the stretch until the turn past the judges' stand on both sides" was made here 4 a Coroner's jury inquiring into the death of Beverley Carmichael, 65, prominent Hderton farmer and business man, who was killed at the Thorndale Fair when struck by a running horse during one of the aces. : "We have to provide for the fut- ure safety of the public who. at. tend these fairs," Chief Coroner Dr, A. R. Routledge told the jury. "We. will have accidents unless... some protection {is given, If there had been fencing at the track, it would have controlled the running horse," he declared, SHE WAS A VICTIM OF HEADACHES ---- Kruschen Got at the Cause This woman's headaches were of the gripping kind that reduce the sufferer to somethng like helplessness. She tried tablets, She tried pills. All without avail. Only Kruschen could help her. "I used to get very bad head- aches," she writes. "No lets or pills of any kind could relieve them. One morning, casually, I tried Kruschen Salts in a glass of hot water. I continued taking it, but I Have not had one of those awful headaches since. Kruschen suits me better than anything else, I find it very good." -- (Mrs.) LAW. ; Headaches can nearly always be traced to sluggishness of the kidneys, liver and intestines, and to the unsuspected retention in the system of stagnating waste material which poisons the blood. The numerous salts in Kruschen stimulate the internal organs to healthy, regular, action so that no clogging waste is allowed to col- lect. Your inside is kept clean and serene. And that is just how Kruschen Salts brings quick and lasting relief from headaches. Caught a Doe In His Arms There's a new game in Algoma district--home of the famous Al- goma wolf -- catching deer by hand. Robert Agnew, cottaging at Harmony Bay on the Batcha- wana road, near Sault Ste. Marie, saw a two-year-old doe in a bay 76 feet off shore. About that time the department of highways road grader came along with Ed. Labelle and Max Wannamaker, Labelle took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his pants and waded into the water. When he went to touch the doe, the animal ran to shore and into Wannamaker's arms. Nearly 30 vessels are under con- struction in Norway. BOOK SHELF By ELIZABETH EEDY She 'WITH MALICE TOWARD SOME' By Margaret Hulsey It's on the "Best Seller" list, and everybody's reading this book that bites the hand across the sea (it we may be allowed to mix our me- taphors). A great many things that we knew vaguely to be wrong or funny about the English have been caught and bottled by the author so they can't get away. And there we have them! Margaret Halsey is the wife of a young Ph.D, who went to England on an exchange professorship. And while her husband taught, the au- thor saw life as it was being®lived in a smill English village. A nice, sweet little book of essays about the English countryside should therefore have been the result, In- stead this demure lady, possessed of a superlative sense of humor and leaking acid at every pore, care- fully worked at an etching of Eng- land that will cause a war between the two English-speaking . nations if it gets into the right hands.

Record Puffballs One of the largest puff balls on record in the Caledonia (Ont.) district, was 'found by John Will- iamson in a field on the outskirts of the town. It measured 48 in- ches in circumference and weighed eight pounds. That puff ball is just an infant compared with the one found by Lorne Harett, south __of Summer's Corner on the Fourth _ Concession of Malahide. It was found in his orchard and weighed fifteen pounds. .

Four additional battalions of British troops have been espatched to the Holy Land. Machine guns set up in city streets, d ABOVE, are now common, as the British move to put down the up- risings, while Arab agitators, INSE against British rule. T, exhort their countrymen to rise NOT ALL ROSY MEMORIES A bunch of lovely roses graced the table in my hall, And oh, the memories they brought to those who came to call. An older woman sighed as she, re- called the days of yore; When in her own small garden, she grew roses by the score. JA maiden saw a lover, who has sent her flowers bright -- An old man viewed the grave of his adored one, passed from his sight, Each mind saw something differ- ent, smiles, tears and sighs, yes, all Were found in those same roses, on the table in my hall} Teacher -- Now, Jimmy, what happened when the cow jumped over the moon?" Jimmy -- "Somebody got an idea for vanishing cream." Tony -- "She sald | could kiss her on the cheek." Jack -- "Did you do It?" Tony -- "Not exactly. | did not know which cheek she meant, and so | kissed her in between the two." Today -- Don't belleve this thing of life beginning at 40 -- or at 20, or 30, or 50. Life begins each morn- ing. The dawn of the new day is the open door to a new world, one that challenges us to make the best of it, So forget yesterday; live only in and for to-day. Collector -- "I've called to collect some back payments on what antique furniture you have." * 'Head of the House -- "You are crazy. | never bought any antique furniture on the instal. ment plan." Collector -- "Well, maybe it was no6t antique when you bought it." Young Mac -- "Father, I have to have an atlas for school." Old Mac -- "Ah, weel, ye'd bet- ter wait till the wor'rld's mair set- tled." Anybody can break a good habit, but it takes a he-man to break a bad one. READ IT OR NOT! United States is the home of very neaerly twice as many people cal- ling themselves Irish as there are in the Emerald Isle itself. A storekeeper kept a black board In his store and as dif- - ferent people passed he ask- ed them to write"what they did. A lawyer came along and he wrote, "I plead for alll" Next came a preacher who plously wrote, "| pray for alll" A doc- tor passed next and wrote, "I prescribe for alll" Then came along a red-neck farmer, who scribbled, "I pay for alll" There are some things that should be always remembered, for instance: At a dinner party the ab- sent-minded professor was seated next to a charming woman, She (smiling) -- "Don't you re- member me, professor? Why, some years ago you asked me to marry you." : - Professor -- "Ah, yes, and did you?" Collector Seeks Old Typewriters Is Up In Canada Looking For Rare Specimens--Has Small- est Typewriter in World WINNIPEG. -- "Any ol writers?" Carl P. Dietz of Milwaukee, Wis., collector of ancient and strange typewriters, was in Winnipeg re- cently to see what the town had to offer. It took him just two hours to lo- cate two early-type machines. He will add these to the 315 different niodels he already had given the Milwaukee museum. "The typewrlter was invented in Milwaukee," Dietz said. "There, Sholes and Glidden made a machine using piano keys, 65 years ago. When I decided in 1934 to collect machines I thought 15 or 20 would he a good collection. I have since found there are more than 300 kinds manufactured under 647 dif- ferent names.' Would Go In Your Pocket Detz, a Milwaukee alderman, claims his collection is the only one in America and believes it is three times as large as either of two collections in Europe. The collector carried with him probably the smallest typewriter in the world. [It would fit an overcoat pocket easily. He has three of these (nn his collection. type- With 12,500 officers at present, the British Army wants only 600 new ones in the next year to keep it up to strength.

Alderie Raymond President Vernon G, Cardy Vice-President & Managing Director MOUNT ROYAL HOTEL MONTREAL What Science * |s Doing * fi UNIVERSE MAY BE STATIONARY Dr. Edwin Hubble, noted astron- omer who has been reaching stag- gering distances into space with the world's largest telescope, try- ing to learn the secret of the uni- verse, reports: "The results, at the moment, do seem to favour the concept of a stationary universe, but they do not definitely rule out the possibil- ities of an expanding universe, The Judgment {s probably reserved until further information becomes avail able." TO CURE PNEUMONIA Pneumonia, "king of diseases," may be eonquered through a new laboratory product developed by experiments with sulphanilamide, Sir Edward Mellanby, secretary of the Medical Research Council of Great Britain said at Ottawa, last week, The new product is called M and B 693. "All work on it has indicat- ed a specific curative effect in the case of pneumonia," he sald. "It will not cure all cases because the most patients come to the doctor only when near death." Experi- ments showed that {in 100 cases studied 27 untreated patients died. Only eight treated ones died, and of these six died in the first week be- fore the drug could demonstrate its curative power. FROZEN FISH REVIVED Fish and frogs, both cold blooded animals, can be frozen solid and re- vived repeatedly without apparent ill effects if electrical currents are used in the reviving process, Dr. L, C. Barail; of New York, reported at the recent annmal meeting of the "American Society for Biophysics and Cosmobiology. One of the fish had been frozen more tian one hundred times, in some of the ex- periments staying in the liquid air for three hours. The requisites for keeping fish alive in repeated tests are quick freezing and thawing out under the influence of a high frequency elec- tric current. SAYS FEVER HELPS In speaking of fever {n Urology and Cutaneous Review, Dr. FF. I. Redewell says: "Fever is a process which aids in the removal or destruction of in- jurious substances which get into the body. It results in an increase in leucocytes (the white corpuscles or disease fighters in the body), an increase in the rate at which all the body processes work, and a great increase in clasmatoctes (the large blood cells) the increase re- sistance to infection, in the blood, in the lymph (the other portion of the circulation) and all tissues of the body. To-day, instead of reducing the temperature, it is not unusual for physicians to use methods -- elec- tricity or others -- to increase the temperature of the body thus act- ually increasing its fighting or dis- ease resisting forces. Alr Services Are Stressed Windsor M.P, Tells League of. Nations of the Progress Made In Canada--Important Inter- national Link With establishment of the Trans- Canada Airways and preparations for the regular trans-Atlantic air services, Canada is rapidly becomes ing an important link in interna- tional and inter-continental air com- munications, Paul Martin, M.P., of Canada, informed the League of Nations committee on communica- tions and transit. Canada's View A member of the committee, My. Martin said that as a widespread system of communications and transport has been of such decisive fmportance in the formation and de- velopment of his country, it is only natural that his government should appreciate the significance of the organization for communications and transit, and should wish the greatest possible effect to be given to its activity. It has, however, been felt that, although of importance to Europe, where questions of transit and com- munication are complicated by the great number of national frontiers in a comparatively small area, the work does not so greatly concern Canada, whose only land boundary is the United States, said Mr. Mar- tin.

Now the Meaford Women's Institute plans to mark the grave of "Beau- tiful Joe," a dog. To Erect A Founlain Many years ago a mongrel dog lived his span and died in Meaford. During puppyhood his ears were clipped. He wag 'just plain dog." Finally he found love and care so abundant that to cover up his mis- fortune and the tragedy of his ap- pearance his mistress named him "Beautiful Joe." Miss Saunders wrote about him fn the book * Beautiful Joe," and now the Women's Institute will im- mortalize him further. A stone will mark the resting place and a foun- tain will be erected where all the dusty, weary dogs will be sure of a refreshing drink. Canned oysters are proving valuable to Mrs. I. R. Daly of Munson, Alta. In the space of a week she found two pearls in cans of oysters, the second being about the size of a green pea.
