The Hall was fairly \h‘ll filled, al- though it was not necessary to dis- play the “standing room only” sign. In addition to the main feature of the evening, the Club presented a little one-act skit which very well depicted the sorrows and tribula- tions of ah usband who interfered with the work of his wife in their home. Between scenes__the sndience ‘Dust of The Earth". is one of those melodramas that centre about the tribulations of a beautiful oung girl who is always cheerful alt ough surrounded by unkind relatives and who ends up by marrying the village squire. It is much after the fashion of "Peg 0’ My Heart” and similar sentimental and heart-touching Irish playletsâ€"although this one was laid in the New England States rather than in Ireland. The heroine is Nell whose mother died on the doorstep of her brother’s home leaving him Nell as her only legacy. The bro- ther, of course, is fond of the child but has a wife and daughter who despise the youngster and make her life miserable. The son of the house relieves the tension now and then with a comic bit and takes Nell’s part. Nell is quite chummy with a peculiar character known as Wan- dering Tom who is always trying to remember something, and who linall turns out to be the squire of the " aples,” supposed to have died from a fall in Switzerland, and Nell’s father. The young chap who has been taking the place of the Squire falls in love with Nell, of course, much to the disgust of her cousin who has been angling for the young gentleman. However, the cousin gets the parson, Nell gets the oung Squire, and everybody is lappy when the curtain falls. was entertained with delightful vocal selections from Mrs. C. C. Middlebro’ and Mr. William Ben- son and a vocal duet by Messrs. William Benson and Bert Saunders. it is not often that a Durham audâ€" ience has an opportunity or listen: ing to' more pleasing instrumental selections than the piano duets of the Misses Fursman. They displayed excellent technique and finish in several duets which they played «luring the evening. Mr. H. J.

Miss Mabel Edwards, as Susanl Moore, Neil’s jealous aunt, was ex- cellent. She portrayed her part very well. The greater part of the aud- ience thoroughly hated her, and that is an unfailing sign of a successful characterization of the villainâ€"or \‘illainess. Nellâ€"the “Dust of The Earth" was Miss J. E.

Wlith Hon. John S. Martin, Provincial Minister of Agriculture, and Hon. Duncan Marshall, President of the Dominion Shorthorn Breeders’ Association, as the speakers of the evening, the close relationship between the pros- perity of the live stock industry and the general prosperit of the farm was stressed, and a vice was strongly given to Ontario breeders to. improve the quality of their stock With a view to securing highest recolginition in the markets of the wor . Ontario Sent to Britain Over 1,062,- 439 Hundrodwoights in 1924.â€" lnst Expand Karatâ€"Value of Standardisation Stressed by Speak- ers at Live Stock Dinner. The progress which Ontario had already made towards such recogni- tion was emphasized by Mr. Mar- tin, who pointed out that Ontario in eleven months of 1924 had exported 1,062,429 hundredweight of bacon to Great Britain in contrast to 750,- 467 hundredweight exported in a similar period of 1923. Such a rec- ord, in Hon. Mr. Martin’s Opinion, indicated conclusively that the live stock industry was emerging from the slough of depression into which it had sunk in 1920. Mr. Martin believed that Ontario could learn its lesson in the raising of bacon from Denmark. In the lat- ter country, he pointed out, stan- dardization had become absolute to the point that only one breed was raised, the result being absolute uniformity in the product. Such standardization, he averred, must he the aim of Ontario farmers. and in this connection he detailed the work which the Ontario Department of Agriculture was doing amongst the farm youth of the Province through its 125 Bacon Hog Clubs. Opportunity for Canada “This is Canadas Opportunity", the Minister decla1ed, 1efer1 mg to bog iaising and adding: “we have a big country to the south of us, but I \entu1e to state that Ontaiio is 20 years in advance of it in the pro- duction of bacon hogs. Some day the I nited States is going to awaken to the importance of the raising of bacon, and that day will mean that there will be an unlimited market for all the breeding stock which Ontario farmers can sell to them.” Urging, therefore, that the farm- ers pay attention to their breeding stock in anticipation of a time in the near future when there would be a great demand for it, Mr. Martin expressed his belief that the live stock industry was upon the eve of an era of prosperity. He believed that government leadership could do much to promote such prosper- ity and urged that there should be the closest co-operation between dominion and provincial agriculture departments in furthering the inter- est_s of the industry. 'l‘he cattle industry was more par- ticularly the subject of the remarks of Hon. Duncan Marshall, who spoke as the president of the D0- minion Shorthorn Breeders’ Asso- ciation. He emphasized particular- ly Canada‘s agricultural heritage, which included lands for the pro- duction of Number One Northern hard wheat rivalled only by Siberia, climate and prairie lands suited to produce the best feeder livestock in the world, and a climate vigorous enough to rule out dwarfs and weakâ€" lings from the population.

Mr. Marshall believed that Canada needs only experienced farmers of the present time. and that other classes should not he brought into the country. He commended the leadership which the Dominion and Provincial Departments of Agricul- ture were giving to the rural com- munities. and especially lauded Mr. Martin’s scheme of rural education. There are compensations for the man who is deprived of the use of one of his sensesâ€"though most men would prefer to have the senses and get along without the compensation. A deaf man who has learned lip- reading can tell what people are saying in the midst of a noise that prevents persons with good hearing from understanding anything. To illustrate the compensation that an- other affliction brings, the famous English editor and politician, Hen- ry Lahouche , used 'to tell a strik- ing story. \ e take it from the Ar- gonaut: Labouchere was walking home one night during a particularly close London fog. He was creeping uncer- tainly along Pall Mall when he was approached by a man who asked where he‘szhed to go: “I want to go across St. James Paik to Victoxia Street,” replied Lab«;.1uchero "If you hold my arm. sir.” said the stranger, “I will take you there; I go there! eyery day." \Vfithout hesitation he took La- bouchere right across the park in as thick a fog as there ever has been and brought him straight, up to his door. Labouchere’s wonder was groan and when he gave the man a good tip, he asked how it was he could find his way so easily. “Sir, THE ASTONISH IN G STRANGER 1'11.
