Why | can‘t we have it ? It certainly means a lot of time and work but if the ‘ proper cormmunity spirit gets behina the movement, there should be little: ‘tmuble in pushing the scheme to a ‘ successful conclusion. The Towi: Council, we feel sure, wouid work it ‘ were the citizens to show their good Iwm by turning out at any public | meeting they may call and offer to do anything in their power to make it | go, â€" The scheme needs organization \ and to date they cannot get sufficientâ€" l ly enough citizens interested to enâ€" . courage them to go on. Annually the day hbas been obseryâ€" ed with increased interest, but as the Prince of Wales finely says, at first the spirit was one of exultation, but now becoming more and more one of subdued reverence and grateâ€" ful remembrance. Elsewhere in this issue will be found a brief writeup of the Durham service at the monument, which all agree was a fine and fitting testimony from Durham and surrounding counâ€" try‘s citizens. Reports of similar meetings on the "tith" from nearly every part of Canada and even in the United States fill the daily papers. Those who (ell have not been forgotten, _ We are continually receiving letâ€" ters from friends at distant points, | stating they want to be in Durham %for Old Home Week in 1928 and one | former â€" resident, now of Waterloo _ Co., says she is coming if she has to {b.'l"-z the cows with her ! That‘s the spirit to carry and it the same eager spirit is behind the movement, Durham _ should go over â€" big. Leaders are wanted and as well coâ€"operation of citizons to back theim up. PDead bandits are bringing twice the figure of bandits "on the hw("; in Fond du Lac county, Wisconsin.‘ The Associated Press carries a dh-'-" patch that banks of that county ha\‘-,-‘ offered $1,000 casn for each deato | bandit and onily $500 each for mum-' bers of the bank robbing fraternity captured alive and convicted. ‘ Recently bank banditry has taken on a new lease of activity in Canaâ€" da. _ Perhaps such methods as that indicated in Wisconsin are responâ€" sible for driving gunmen over the border into this country. In any &â€" vent the idea of shooting bandlts.i (and trying them afterwards if at all) would seem to be worth considering. The next best thing, we would sugâ€" gost, is to apply the lash. Experience shows that bold bandits who display ‘plfl\ty of courage when armed with x deathâ€"dealing automatic and faced by defenceless citizens display an entirely . different . front when the icourt suggests they be whipped. Not ‘emly do they fear pain, being cowâ€" | ards at heart, but they know that, | havinzg been marked by the lash. | they will not be able to pose as berâ€" DISCOURAGING BANK BANDITS Not only has experience for many years shown that the lash is feared by thugs and acts as an effective deâ€" terrent of their activities, but it takes the place of a term sentence and reduces the maintenance cost to the community. kind AT WHAT AGE SHOULD A PER. soN CEASE BEING ACTIVE ? (The above heading suggestod itâ€" selif when we read from the Clifiord Epress of the following account e a ‘Grandmother Meeting‘ the Womâ€" en‘s Institute put on there. This is in part what it says. Who can beat it?) "The program â€" for the aiternoon was given by the grandmothers of the Institute and consisted of a reciâ€" tation by Miss Taylor who had atâ€" tained the age of 83 years, entitled "The Scotch, Irish and Canadian‘: a reading by Mrs Tolton who is in her 78Sth year, entitled "Imposing on the gzrandmothers", _ Another selce tion was a solo by Mrs Ellis, who has reached the three score years ard | ten mark, entitled "My Grand{/ath er‘s Clock." Those taking part were arrayed in old fashioned garments, some of which were over 1040 years old .while many old. relies wore dis played by different members, among j which was a ‘winding sheet‘ by the , President, Mrs Aitchison and shawl'l by Miss Taylor. The meeting was closed by singing ‘Auld Lang Syne‘, after which a dainty lunch was" serâ€" ved by the grandmothers," 7 The trouble is that moet people are more particular how they furnish their homes than how they fursish their minds. or martyrs even with their own SEPT. EssAY COMPETITION | During 1926 the Chilean Nitrate Co., Toronto, presented a ten pound | . bag of Nitrate to each child who hadi\ entered the Home Garden Contest,> conducted by the Grey Co. branch of the Dept. of Agriculture. In addiâ€" tion to the prizes given for the best ten gardens a prize Was given for the best essay on the results of usâ€" ing Nitrate on the gardens. . In all 14 entered the competition. The tolâ€" ’lowing were the winners in this comâ€" petition with the amount of their } prizes : Allan Bothwell, O. Sound, _ $4.00; Stanley Booth Wiarton No 2 $3.50 Gordon Clow, O.

FIRST PRIZE ESSAYâ€"GREY CO. Allan Bothwell, Owen Sound In selecting the plot for my home garden, 1 chose a piece of clay loam, slightly sloping to the south west. Thisâ€" was in the yard between the house and barn, the barn passing by one end. _ So situated 1 could conâ€" stantly watch and give the needed attention immediately. In April I cultivated this ground, until it was a fine deep mulch, and planted all the early seeds and waitâ€" ed eagerly for the faint touc. J green down the rows. When the rows could be seen I applied Nitrace of Soda by a watering can. Next day L thoroughly stirred the soil to reâ€" tain moisture as well as destroy the weed growth. I repeated the cuti vation from four to five times a week. A part of the carrots, peas and corn I left untreated with the Nitrate, All the garden received the same cultivation, but there was a very marked difference, The part treated with Nitrate grew â€" rapidly, was of fine quality and â€" matured much earâ€" lier. The peas were ready for use ten days earlier than the untreated ones. The carrots were smooth and of fine quality, while the untreated were wormy and rough. The corn was matured two weeks earlier, and the cobs of the untreated corn were smaller and poorly filled. I was pleased to mention the nonâ€" ?or of receiving first prize for my Home Garden in the Tp. of Sydenâ€" lham and Sarawak which I feel due to the use of Nitrate of Soda. My mother used Nitrate of Soda on the house plants. She appreciaied the great improvement made on the f@owers. All the plants show a deepâ€" er green in color. L feel so satisfied with the success of Nitrate on my Garden that when I am a man I will always assist my farm production with Nitrate. SsECOND PRIZE ESSAY Stanley Booth, Wiarton No. 2 I have been looking forward to the time when I would be able to enter the Home Garden Contest, and this year I got the chance. Now when I brought home : the Chilean Nitrate from the school, dad said, "You can try if you wish, but I haven‘t much faith in it." 1 showed him the book that came with it and told him there must be something in it, or there wouldn‘t be so much difference in the size of the vegetables in the picâ€" tures, so he said, "Go ahead and try it, and we‘ll see what its worth." And after seeing my garden and his growing side by side and comparing his vegetables with mine, he is quite convinced there is something in it atâ€" ter all. He said "It is Chilean Niâ€" trate for me next year." _ Now that from dad is saying something, beâ€" cauae he has tried fertilizers before, and he never had any sucecss. _ My brother used some of the Niâ€" trate of Soda on his potatoes and his were far bigger than dad‘s, I got sixth prize (92) points for my g:rden. My onions stood abou!t 1st as to siz> and shpe ard I used the Nitrate â€" very â€" plentifully on thein, Now the way I used the Nitrate, I sprinkled it on the soil, dry, before I planted the seed, and about orce a week for the first three weeks I put it between the rows, as near to the roots as I could, but without actualâ€" ly touching them. 1 made only one mistake and that was when I was transplanting my tomatoes. 1 put one teaspoonful of Nitrate in a cupful of water and poured over the newly transplanted plants, and it killed them. This made me afraid to use it again for awhile, but I waited a week and put it on to dry and the results were good. I give this experience for the benâ€" efit of others who â€"~may have made the same mistake and been too disâ€" couraged to try again,. Now in conâ€" clusion I wish to say that the Chilâ€" can Nitrate is well worth the money. At John Lynn‘¢, . Aberdeen, on Wednesday, Nov. 23xi, commencing at 1 o‘clock, sharp,. \Geese, ducks and chickens w.ll be\shot for 12 guage shot guns (shells hed.) Also rifies used.
