es _ PICK THE WINNER AND GEI $ : A TEN DOLLAR GOLD PIECE | _ WHO‘S GOING TO WIN " _ THE NEW FORD CAR? LIST OF CONTESTANTS NOW IN FIELD WY New Entries Every Dayâ€"Where is Yours? To stimulate still further interest in the Monster Circulation Campaign we are putting on a unique guessing contest in conjunction with the Subscripâ€" tion Campaign. This contest in no way bears upon the circulation canvas and is absolutely fair to each and every candidate. The only provision is that all guessers must be paid in advance subscribers of at least one of our publicaâ€" tions. The guessers will be numbered as soon as re%:;ed (before the enveâ€" lope seal is broken). They will then be recorded shoWing the order in which guesses were received, the name of the party guessing and the winner picked. Only one guess to each person. All you have to do, if you are a paid up subâ€" scriber, is to clip out the coupon below, fill it in and mail it to us. Be sure it is addressed as follows: Tt Costs You Nothing to Guess, But You Must be a Paid _ up Subscriber of one of our Publicationsâ€"Read the Instructionsâ€"Clip Out the Coupon Py" and Send It in § NO. 2.â€"THE MIMICOâ€"NEW TORONTO DISTRICT Will it be a Lady or aâ€"Gentleman? Will it be Someone in the Weston District, Port Credit District, Mimico, Mt. Dennis or Brampton District? A large number of others have been nominatedâ€"some have declined their nomination and withdrawnâ€"others are making up their mind. Reâ€" member the contest is just commencingâ€"Doubtless there will be more entries in nearly every district.. While the above list will serve as a guide, you are at liberty to guess the name of anyone, whom you know is going to qualify when properly approached and given to thoroughly understand the contest. The foregoing list will in all probability serve as an impetus to other enerâ€" getic persons in the respectve districts to allow their nomination to stand, and encourage others, who on seeing the list will be inclined to the opinion that they could go out and trim the whole crowdâ€"and perhaps they‘re right./ It may just be that the ‘"Dark Horse" hasn‘t entered yet and that the Ford Car winner hasn‘t vet got into the game. winner hasn‘t yet got into the game. 3 This guessing contest will continue throw@ghout the campaign. Only one guess to each paidâ€"up subscriber. You can guess now or wait if you likeâ€"but remember this, the guesses are numbered as they are received and it‘s the firs& correct guess that will get the $10 gold piece. That is to say, suppose your guess is the 29th guess received and another party‘s guess is 20th and you both suess correctly, guess No. 20 would get the $10 gold piece. A "Favorite" will be declared each week by means of this guessing conâ€" test.. That is to say, the contestant who is guessed as the winner the greatest number of times will be known as the ‘"Favorite" for that week. This will, of course, in no way affect the actual standing of the candidates. Mr. Vallette, Mimico Mr. Edgar, Mimico Beach Miss Holdenby, Mimico Mrs. Cleman, New Toronto Mr. Wm.

R. 2, Mono Road Now it cost practically as much to keep the poor hens as it did the good ones, and from the foregoing fiâ€" gures one can readily see the value of trap nests as a means of increasing the profits of our poultry plants, and that one will be well paid for the exâ€" tra lahor and expense. Out of the 53 White Leghorns 37.7 per cent. laid less than 100 eggs in the ten months, their average being 6.3 doz. per bird. These valued at 50¢ per dozen, give $3.15, and, deduct tost of feed $2.81, leaves a balance of 34 cents per bird. The 62.3 per cent. ovâ€" er the 100 egg mark laid an average of 10.9 dozen per bird at 50 cents, realized $5.45 less $2.81 for feed, leavâ€" ing balance of $2.64 per bird. , Qut of the 53 Rocks, 22.6 per cent. laid less than 100 eggs in the «ten months, their average béing 7.14 dozâ€" en, which, at the average market valâ€" ue of 50 cents a dozen, would realize $8.54. It cost $2.:.81 for feed alone, thus leaving a balance of 76 cents. The remaining 77.4 per cent. of the birds produced an average of 10.95 dozen per bird,\realizing at 50 cents per dozen $5.48 at the cost of $2.81 for feed, thus leaving a balance of $2.67 per bird. Therefore a hundred birds like the former would only give a profit of $76.00 over the cost of feed, while 100 like the latter would give a profit of $267.00. It may not seem so apparent that the trap nest has an economic value, for at a first glance it would appear that more labor and expense had been added to the poultry work. â€" A few figures taken from data compiled at the Experimental Farm, Nappan, N.S., during the past ten months, obtained by the trap nesting of one pen of 53 Barred Rocks, also a pen of 53 White Leghorns, will answer this. It is very apparent that by using the trap nest, one gets the individual records of each bird and that, from these, the boarders are easily detectâ€" ed and only the profitable fowls kept. Furthermore, the outstanding birds can be selected and their progeny usâ€" ed. In this way one can raise â€" the standard of production very materialâ€" ly. Wherein lies the value of trap nests? Their value is four fold: First, it is a means of securing the individâ€" ual records; secondly, it shows up the "boarders;" thirdly, it enables one to keep a pedigreed stock established. They have an economic value.

BAIRD, Supt., Purchased from Regular Stock of ‘Nuff Saio An Irishman came home one night with a blackened eye, a broken nose, and a split lip. "Tim Sullivan done it," he told his wife as he began to bathe the wounds. "Shame on ye!‘" Bridget cried, "big feller like you to be licked by a hard drink cockroach like Tim Sullivan! Why, heâ€"â€"" In various sections of England there are also peculiar inheritance laws, as, for example, ‘‘Borough Engâ€" lish," which is the term applied to the right of the _vounges&and not the eldest son to inherit the real property of the father inâ€" the event of . the father dying intestate. In Sussex the youngest daughter inherits the proâ€" perty thus left. This odd form of inâ€" heritance is found in various parts of Europe, but is, according to the best lawyers, absolutely inexplicable. Unâ€" der the form of tenure known as "gravelkind" land descends not to the eldest or youngest, but to all sons colâ€" lectively. ‘"Whist," said Pat, "don‘t speak evil of the dead." Wisturbing "Thumpâ€"Rattletyâ€"Bang!" went the piano. This curious situation arises from the fact that these low rent shops are the property of the city corporation and are burdened with many ancient and peculiar lease conditions. These leases may be renewed by their holdâ€" ers after periods of seven or fourâ€" teen years, but upon each renewal there must be paid a ‘"fine," which is approximately equal to the normal rental value of the property for the period for whichâ€"the lease runs. Inâ€" as much as these leases are renewâ€" able forever, it results that when a shop held under a lease from the city corporation is sold, it brings about as much as the actual market value of a freehold property. ‘"What are you trying to play, Jane?" called out her father from the next room. "It‘s an exercise from my new inâ€" struction book, ‘First Steps in Muâ€" sic,‘ " she answered. ‘"Well, I knew you were playing with your feet," he said grimly; ‘"but don‘t step so heavily on the keysâ€" it disturbs my thoughts." Some of the strangest leaseholds are found in the heart of London, where the average rental of shops ‘ is around $50,000 a year. It â€" would seem to the stranger that all the shops of equal desirability would pay @approximately the same rentals, but he will be astonished to learn that instead of $50,000 some of them rent for around $25 per annum. Another example of petit sergeanâ€" try is the stipulation that the Dukes of Athol must, by way of rental for their estate, hand to the King a white rose whenever his Majesty shall visit them. The occupant of the Bury House, an estate in the New Forest, finds that by the terms of his leasehold he must, upon the entrance of the King into the New Forest, present the ruler with a brace of white greyâ€" houndsâ€"â€"a breed of dogs which, needâ€" less to say, has been carefully preâ€" served by the family. holding the estate. _A famous painting by Lawâ€" rence shows George III. in the act of recéiving a brace of the dogs. The legal term for this form of tenure is "petit sergeantry." For example, The Duke of Marlâ€" borough holds the great estate of Blenheim on condition that shall present each year a flag to @sove- reign; unless the male line shdould beâ€" come extinct or the holding be forâ€" feited through failure to comply with the ancient condition, the lease must apparently run forever. In many respects Great Britain has discarded ancient customs and tradiâ€" tions, but one quaint relic of the Midâ€" dle Ages, survives in the matter of leaseholds. Just how the terms of these holdings could be changed, even if anyone wished to change them, is not apparent. & SQVE P Great Britain Still Holds to Some Quaint Relics of Middle Sa Aces E PICTURESQUE FNGLSH CUSTOMS Mandolins, Violins, Hohners, Harmonicas, Accordions all reduced.

Guâ€"Solvo, which is taken inwardly, has two functions, to absorbh the goitre into the cireculation and then to cast it out of the system through the natural organs of elimination. _ If the operation of the medicine were simply to dissolve the goitrous tissue into the blood, that would not mean that the goitre was wholly eliminated because it would still be in the system and very liable to show again. But the prineiple of Guâ€"Solvo is to clear the system of every trace of diseased tissue so that it will not return. You owe it to yourself to give Guâ€"Solvo a trial before giving up hope. It has done wonders for others and will do the same for you. Do not put off till toâ€"morrow what can be done toâ€"day.
