A chap at a gasoline station drops some the upholstery when he was eating a cookie; and Evangeline is paddled ferociously and with common consent when she puts her foot up against the oil on the fender when putting in a quart.

Halifax has the finest ‘arbor on the Atlantic coast, and when its construction program is complets will have one of the finest ports in the world. A transfer of Atlantic shipping routes to Halifax would mean a tremendous boom to Canada. British postal authorities are being urged in the Parliament to transfer the mails to a Halifax route.

This delicate polse is caused by the constant rays of the sun on the exposed portion (only oneâ€" eighth of the wholo), and by tha corâ€" rosive action of the salt water on the submerged portion. Thus it has often happened that Newfeundland fishermen, while enâ€" gaged in cutting fragments from bergs to pack round their fish, have been killed by the huge hummock upon which they were standing rolling right over.

Many people because of inâ€" | seots and other crawling things and ; | also because of dampness in the soil, especially during rainy periods, bave ‘an avers‘on for sleeping in beds that‘ jm's- not elevaied. Sleeping on damp :grcund for more than a night or so is | not healthful. The three beds desâ€" | eribed in this article can easily be | made wherever timber grows, and they | will keep you off the ground. | Bed No. 1 rests on four corner posts, each one having a crotch. The crotchâ€" es hold the polos running the length of the bed and across thesa poles more flexible slats are laid at short intervals to hold the material that is used for mattresses. Willow wands are excelâ€" lent for this purpose. The slats should be fastoned with a nail at each end, or they can be tied to the poles with rope. Nails, hammer, saw and ax should alâ€" way>s be included in the camping outfit, as they will bo found almost indispensâ€" able. The corner posts need not be more than fifteen inches high, but they gshould be set deep enough in the ground to make them stand steady. The holes for the posts can be made with an iron bar or a sharpened pole. Where the soil is hard it may be necesâ€" sary to put water into the hole while working the bar up and down.

This bed, as well as No. 3, can be made large emough to hold two persons. No. 2 is made like a crib and is a very comfortable bed for one person. Two crossed poles at each end lift the bed off the ground. These cross poles must be set firmly in the ground, and onme or two nails should be run through at the croesings. Another pole, restâ€" ing in the crotches of the end pieces, makes the bottom of the bed. A etick of wood is nailed over the supporting poles at the head to serve as a brace, and softer wands are nailed on lengthâ€" wise on both sides to keep the bed clothing in place. A canvas or a few old gunny sacks can be spread Inside the bed and some dry leaves or a quant‘ty of plne needles with the cones removed put in afterward to make a mattress. You will find this bed a soft and cozy one. With beds like these you need not carry along much expensive bedding on your camping trip.

So great is the demand for Canadian tobacco that over one million pounds, grown in Essex county, Onâ€" eario, was shipped to Great Briâ€" tain during 1922 to be used in the manufacture of cigarettes, pipe tobacco and twists. In anticipation of increased reâ€" quirements of this commodity in Great Britain it is reported that a British tobacco firm has purchased land at Kingston, Ontario, and proposes to erect a modern factory there for the processing and curing of Canâ€" adian leaf tobacco. The Canâ€" adian Tobacco: Growers‘ Coâ€" operative Company has entered into a contract to supply the new British firm with 2,000,000 pounds of dark leaf tobaceo. TRaha nd=l{ .
