The short-haired. short-skirted. slab- sister is to give way to a lightly plump figure draped in clothes of strictly fem- inine lines. The jazz era is over. The Victorian era. much modified. gives the clue to the coming style. The French dressmakers who thus give the flapper the go-by are moved by one considera- tionâ€"the flapper was killing the goose that lays the dressmaker's golden eggs. But an English publicist. Francis Hen- ry Gribble. advances another reason for the wane of flapperism. namely girls of this type have robbed them- selves of feminine mystery. thus les- sening man's nature to marry. If this be so. the shop-worn flapper may thank the Paris dress dictators for a port in a storm. If clothes appeal is to take the place of sex appeal. so be it : just so long as there is appeal. Either explanation is okay with us. The flap- per has had her day. If she ceases to be we shall not mourn.

The land of India, as we all know, is sadly benighted and uncivilized. Last year, for instance, 24,000 people there were killed by wild beasts and reptiles. Snakes alone took 19,069 lives; tigers took 1,033 more; wolves 465; leopard; 218 and crocodiles 140. Deplorable. isn‘t it ? Fortunately. we in the United States don't face those dangers. We are far too advanced and civilized for any- thing like that. To be sure, there were more than 24,000 people killed in the United States last year by automobiles.

It ' may be said that the day of the met- ropolitan newspaper is at hand. This is true. but it is equally as true that l the day of the local newspaper is here 3:00.

The very fact that the big city daily must cover a broad field forbids its becoming local in any .._._..__a . ..__... - ~â€"-. -- the community. We frequently hear it said that the old time independent spirit of the newspaper is gone, that its editorial policy is now supervisent to the business office. Yet this is not true. There is more unselfish idealism in the average local newspaper than in any other business enterprise. It frequently speaks out in the way in which it believes will be for the good of the nation and of the commufity, sense. and it is in the home news which is most important to us.

It is rumored in South-East Grey that the genial and popular Dr. Jamieson who and in 1926 Bob Edwards, a Glenelg farmer. got a far worse drubbing.

We know ,members. both Conservative and Lib- eral. who pay no attention whatever to their riding from the day they are el- ected till the date is fixed for another convention and then they wonder why the rank and file of the party are not enthusiastic about the success of a. member who has shown no interest in them excepting when he wants their votes.

There are a number of varieties which bloom at difi‘erent seasons and have also a large colour range. Early flowering varieties of tulips are: Keizerskroon, Coleur de Cardinal, Vermillion brilliant.

They spread rapidly by division of the bulbs and also by seeds which are freely pro- duced. ' _ Chionodoxa or Glory of the Snow is one of the earliest flowers to bloom. The flowers are blue with white streaks towards the throat. The bulbs should be planted two or three inches apart and three inches deep. There are many kinds of spring flowering bulbs. A few or the best are mentioned here:â€" can be mixed in the soil or used as a top dressing. The bulbs should be planted in late September or October, from four to six inches deep for narcis- sus and tulips. A mulch of well rotted manure should be put on the beds af- ter the ground is frozen, particularly in districts where the snowfall is light and thaws frequent. soils. The ground should be well and deeply dug, and old rotted manure mixed with it.

This fence is made in panels 12 to 14 feet long by 6 to 7 feet high, the boards of which are spaced 2 to 3 inches apart and nailed to 2 by 4 joists. In erecting this sort of windbreak. stakes should be driven into the ground and nailed to the braces to pre- vent the fences being overturned by a strong wind. Though a good impromptu wind- break may be made by standing corn fodder or other such material against a fence on the windward side of the breaks, some natural, others artificial. The natural ones are preferable and consist in protection from the north and west winds by thick woods. groves of trees, or dense shrubbery. Artificial windbreaks, on the other hand, must be used where natural ones are not avail- able or while they are being estab- Though well packed, colonies fre- quently die of exposure, therefore, in thinking about your preparations for wintering, about the wnstruction of your winter cases and the amount. or packing reqaired, do not forget that all important thingâ€"the windbreak.

Not on- ly is protection all important in winter time to shield the colonies from the cold piercing winds which so quickly exhaust animal heat and cause losses, but also in all other seasons in order !to prevent the driftng of the bees and to facilitate the work in the yard. ’ All experienced beekeepers are a- greed on the point that the importance or a good windbreak can hardly be overestimated. Some even consider it of more importance than packing and prefer a windbreak without packing to packing without a windbreak.
