Evsavmmg m THE mm mm mm Any hungry bear, or panther, that may be tracking it now has to pass through the bushes at the edge of the thicket. If awake, the deer réadlly de- . tects the danger. If asleep... the noise "Of the other animal passing through ithe bushes, together with the foreign i odor it exudes, excites that supersensi- i tive sixes sense to such an extent that the deer is gradually brought to con-T ' sciousness and realization of danger. 1 While the tracker is following the decoy trail, the deer has ample time to quietly slip out of its hiding place and flee. It requires some time for the enemy to circle wide enough to locate the new trail left by the departing deer. In most cases the trail is abandoned and search made for easier quarry. Very few instances are known where deer have been caught while asleep by other ' wild animals. With no weapon to turn against its ‘ bigger enemies; the gentle little speed- ' ster of the wild has had to rely solely ' on instinct and cunning for protection. ' A brain highly impregnated with these ' traits makes it possible for a deer to 3 take care of itself in the majority of ’ instances, and even when assailed by ' its most dreaded enemyâ€"man. A DEEB’S INSTINCT OF SELF-PRESERVATION Hugh Lee Morris in Our Dumb Animals When you retire at night, do you perch up on the foot of your bed for a few minutes tnd then Jump over be- tween the sheets? Metaphorlcally speaking this is exactly what 8‘ deer does when it lies down to sleep, or rest, in its wild hgunts. Fear of bear, panther, and other wild enemies has alertly attuned a deer’s instinct of self -preservation that it has become a sixth sense. For this reason it never walks direct to the spot chosen for a bed. ' The place is selected in many cases an hour or more before it is occupied. Generally it is in a small thicket where escape, it necessary, can be easily made. After selecting it the deer deliberately feeds through the edge of the thicket, and follows the trail back with unerr- lng skill. Walking into the thicket in the trail previously made, it stands quietly for several minutes and minutely inspects the surrounding country. Satisfied that no enemies are watching, it makes a tremendous leap off at a right angle which carries it fifteen feet or more away from the trail. There it lies down without any further ado. The September meeting was held at} the home of Mrs. Ben Coutts with a real good attendance of members and visitors present. The meeting opened in the usual way. Roll call taken and minutes of previous meeting read and approved. General business dealt with the club then arranged for their corn roast. It will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William McCulloch on Thursday night, September 8 for club members and their families. A good programme with Mrs. George Mighton and Mrs. William McCulloch in charge then followed and consisted of the fol- lowing numbers: reading by Miss Mary E. HOpkins; song and mouth organ selection by Master Pete -â€"â€"â€"â€"- and Norman from Toronto; reading by Miss Gladys Mighton “The Normal Life”; duet by Misses Annie Turnbulli and Christine McCulloch “Three Years‘ Ago”; reading by Miss Annie Turnbull “Why Worry”; reading by Miss Chris- tine McCulloch “Poor Pa”. A contest by Miss Gladys Alexander and a spell- Iing match with Mrs. Joe Reay and Mrs. George Turnbull as captains was a real joke. Mrs. Reay’s side were the winners. “God Be With You Till We Meet Again” closed the meeting. A hearty vote of thanks was tendered Mrs. Coutts for the use of her home. The hostess and assistants served a deliciou lunch. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. Jos. Brown on October 7. The progresive euchre party held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Turn- bun Jr., was a most pleasing event. They had ten tables and played seven games. Miss Christine McCulloch and Mr. Arthur Adlam won the prize. The remainder of the evening was Spent in games and dancing, lunch being served at midnight. ALLAN PARK U.F.W.O. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE bear, or panther, that Some interesting information about eclipses, and something that will be a satisfaction to those who went to the trouble of seeing that on AugUSt 31, is the fact that a simiiur opportunity will not present itself in a 300d many years in this section of the country. CANADA’S LAST TOTAL FOR YEARS TO COME The next opportunity in this part of j the world of seeing anything like itI will occur on August 21, 2017, by which. time it is expected that the majority! in Florida if the weather is not dull or rainy; and in both 1945 and 1955 the course of solar eclipse will pass across areas of Canada at present somewhat inaccessible,, while in February 1979. blizzards permitting, there will be a chance to enjoy an eclipse and some 40 degrees below zero at the same time in the Hudson’s Bay region. Taking it all in all, however, 2017 is the next date on which anyone here may hOpe to see an eclipse in comfort. DO YOU BELIEVE THESE QUEER LEGAL FABLES? Legal tables is the term lawyers apply to them. Erroneous interpretations of law that seem to have been handed down from generation to generation; so that now they are hard to dislodge. They crOp out everywhere; in tenancy, wills, debts and loans, and even color the courts. For example. “Listen,” says the client to his lawyer, “I bought an old car from Bill Smith for $50. A rattle- trap, and I only paid him $20 on it. That was two months ago, and today he meets me on the street and right there on the street demands the other 30 bucks. Now I don’t halt-a. pay him, do I? The debt is cancelled when he duns me right on the street that way.” ’ “No,” \replies the legal sage, “you still owe Bill the thirty dollars.” “How's that? Didn’t he ask me for it right on the street?” “That may be, and he could ask you ten times on the street, or in the the- atre or in church and you woud still owe him the money. There is nothing in any law book that states that be- cause payment of a debt is demanded in public void." “But I always heard- client. “Yes, I know, but, it just isn‘t true.

Lawyers offer the Opinion that this legal fable arose long ago. “when knighthood was in power.” Embarras- sing a friend by reminding him of a debt before other friends was severely frowned upon and might cause strife. Being publicly charged with a debt must, somehow, through the years, have come to be considered to wipe out the debt. .I Ag‘_- 'Jevn, there is that ancient. fiction that a landlord cannot oust a tenant during the winter. “There‘s nothing to this,” quoth the lawyers. “Any time of the year a tenant, given due notice, must vacate.” In connection with tenancy, another fable exists. This is the prevalent opin- ion that ii a tenant is paying rent in advance he does not have to give the landlord notice before vacating. Notice is always required, even if no papers have been signed, say the lawyers. In case of farms which are rented gen- erally by the year, a notice of six months is required by law.

At the Dominion Experimental Stat- ion at Ste. Anne de la Pocatiere, much importance is attached to selecting the seed tubers. treating with formulin and cutting into sets. Nothing that will in- sure a good yield of sound tubers is neglected, for it is not enough to have a big crop, but good tubers which are easy to keep must be selected. There are generally three ways of selecting the seed: 1. Put-ting aside a attain quantity of tubers 1n the spring. 2. Choosing the nicest part. of a. field. ~ 3. Selecting foundation seed in iso- lated hills. The first method is the most popular which does not mean that it is the best, as its adaption is due to the law of minimum effort rather than to its results. It consists in putting aside in a corner of the cellar in the spring, a certain quantity of tubers correspond- ing approximately to the area which is to be planted. Theâ€"second method is followed by a fair number of potato planters who all diseased plants are removed. Finally, here is the most methodical and rational method, which a very small number only has adopted. It con- sists in using foundation seed which has been submitted to two field and two cellar inspections and an extensive selection. The procedure is very easy. The best looking plants are marked. At digging time four or five tubers from each of these plants are taken and kept separâ€" ately. The following spring, each tuber is cut into four sections which are planted in a single hill. During the season of growth. all the grower has to do is watch for and pull out the diseased plants. It a plant in a hill shows symptonsof disease, pull out the whole hill. By following this last method, the presence of the qualities in the tubers THE FLIGHT OF BIRDS 13y PAUL PIM. RELIGION AT THE 000 Sikhs, Jams and Panacea. und 750.- 000 Jews.
