That 'was a fime piece of oratory re- cantly when a lecturer. speaking of the drinking young man. said; "The railroads don't want him. the banks don't want him, the merchants dont want him.'

Turning with his most winsome smile to the audiemce he said; "Now girls. do you want him? The 1909 potato crop of Germany amounted to 1.716,000,000 bushels. Of this enormous production, no less than 300,000,000 bushels are lost yearly fthrough decay. To prevent this lo*s. the plan of dessicating or drying po- tatoes was originally adopted. fe adin 1909 there were already 260 dessiea- Aion factories, capable of using 22.- 000.000 'bushels. Dry potatoes are found to be of value as food. for pigs. poultry and cattle. They are a fav- orite foodstuff in Germany. Experi- ments have proven that in pereent- age of starch they are superior to barley or oats. A recent ruling of the Railway Com- mission says; 'That where an accl- dent has happened subsequent to Jan. 1st. 1905. or hereafter happens at a railway crossing by a moving train causing bodily. injury' or death to a person using ther crossing, such crossing should immedietely be pro- tected fy the company by a watch- man until the board has had the accident investigated and the cross- ing examined," This, states the or- der will be satisfactory to the board, No doubt of it; but the board neg- lects to state. al oversight probably. that the ruling will' alsa be satisfac- tory to the vietima who furnisie a subject for tha jnvestigatiom and to ithe relatives who have to bury the remains. : : The Presbytery of Stratford met im special conclave on Monday evening qiat Knox church, Afitchell, when Rev.
