In discussing the power station and the wisdom. or otherwise, - of having it at the cement works Mr. Calder was its strongest ad vocate, and condemned, to a con- siderable extent, the letter from Mr. Catton, which appeared last week in The Chronicle. He view i ed it as an effort to cause con- tietxveen the manufactur- and re- in}: concerns of the town, garded the letter as erroneous in several particulars. He gaVe the Council to understand that the Hydro plans and specifications for ' 'ng the work in town were. ‘ t complete and V any change would involve a vast amount of labor and cost. There was no action taken, however‘ was given that Mr. oe or but a promise James, the engineer. would here in the course of a week two, when he would express his views and permit of discussion or the ratepayers. “WA.- â€"" the Canadian “$00” struck 135'. week.

Sufficient Attention Is Not Paid to! Vegetables For Table. Fresh vegetables make up a very: small part of the diet of many fami- lies on farms. It is impossible to estimate the value of the vegetables which may be grown in the home garden, but it is sale to say that a' well-kept garden will yield a return" many times as great as the return. from an equal area devoted to gen-‘ teal farm crops. There is great sat-1 isfaction in having an abundant supply of fresh vegetables, where , they can be secured at short notice. ' Vegetables and fruits furnish a large part of the salts required by the hu- man system, so that they are valu- able medicinally as well as for food. If more succulent food were avail- able, less money would be spent in doctors’ fees and for medicines. Fresh vegetables from the home garden are not subjected to exposure in marketing, are n0t liable to infec- tion and are of a much better flavor than vegetables that have been gathered for some time. The home vegetable garden deserves greater attention from the average farmer. ' * FARMERS’ GARDENS.

The suppos- ed Miss Steele dropped her eyes. but said nothing. This started a succes- sion of delicately turned compliments on the part of Mr. Kenworthy, to all of which the lady listened with apâ€" parent emotion. It is the nature of the small boy to see how near he can skate to an air hole in the ice without breaking in. Urged on by a similar impulse, Mr. Keuworthy proceeded to see how far he could talk “soft" to the monomaniac without making love to her. The basis of his investigations was curiosity. If he had become infatuated with her in so short a time he was not aware of it. The dinner came to an end. and on [retiring from the table Miss Steele led i the way to a window seat quite apart I from the other guests. “Mr. Kenworthy.” she said, opening} and shutting a fun she held in her‘ hand as though struggling with some deep emotion, “I confess that the pe- riod of our acquaintance has been very short. Nevertheless I believe in quick love. I have alwaxs felt that I could recognize my mate instantaneously and my mate would recognize me as quickly.
