Empire Trode Stimulated While tbe agreement, signed at the Imperial Economic Conference held at Ottawa have been in effect only a matter of weeks, already the material beneficial results are to be observed. A survey of the trade statistics of Canada and the. British Empire for the couple of months indicates that the Empire ia rapidly taking advantage of the concessions effected by the agreements, which have now been ratified by all the Imperial Parliaments. Take ft seasonable article, for instance, Canadian turkeys for the Christmas trade are bringing top prices in the markets of London and Liverpool. Most of the 800,000 pound's shipped from Canada recently have arrived In the United Kingdom and have been sold. Most of the turkeys come from the prairies, and it is the first time they.have been sold in any considerable vol. ume on the old country market The experiment has been a marked success, proving that our turkeys can be delivered by cold storage to the United Kingdom markets in as good a condition as those anywhere in the Dominion. They are not frozen, but kept at about S3 degrees Fahrenheit from the time they are killed until they are offered in the shops of England. The experiment was originated by the Canadian Poultry Pool. In former years the Canadian turkey surplus went to the United States, but this year there is not only a prohibitive tariff barrier, but such a curtailed pur- chaiing power that the bottom has fallen out of that market Some 68,000 pounds of Ontario honey were recently shipped to the old country, thus opening up a new and profitable lane of trade and commerce. A cable from the Canadian Press correspondent in London says that British Government figures show British trade during October and November made a sharp recovery both in imports and exports from the low points reached in September, indicating that an upward trend will be sustained which will untimately reduce Britain's unfavorable trade balance. Figures for the 11 months ending November SO showed that Can* ada gained a considerable advantage in exports of some products to the United Kingdom. There was an increase in the export of wheat and other grains, and in hams and bacon and cheese. There can be no doubt, in the face of such facts noticeable in only a few weeks, that the ultimate benefit to Canada and the United Kingdom also of the new agreements will be of vast proportions. As far as Can. ada is concerned, .hut out as she is from the United States market, the only alternative was to turn to Britain and the rest of the Empire. "Between Ton ondMe* By "J.B.C." MB.

So long as private manufacture is permitted and the agents of the arm. mament trust continue to foment suspicion and ill-will at international conferences and to influence the actions of diplomats and statesman the cause of the people, which is the cause of peace, will progress slowly. The world public is only beginning to learn of the existence of a sinister international organization for the making of weapons of war and the fostering of re. liance upon force for national safety. Lieut. Col. Drew of Toronto has done much, by speeches and articles, to draw the attention of the world to the nature of the forces at work to prevent the establishment of peace and goodwill. Hia article, "Salesmen of Death," in Mac- Lean's Magazine, has been re-printed in pamphlet form and scattered all over the world. Two hundred copies were secured by the federation of women's organizations that watched over the deliberations of the dls. amament conference at Geneva. 25 Tears Ago (From The Dally News of December U, 1807) Tour expert gardners are selling from England thl* months for thl* district, having been engaged by D.

Dr. V. E. Ullman, Portland.

Por around Yuletide *e**on, when old and hew frienda and relative* think of u* mor* than at any other tlmi* of the j year, we are moat likely to receive unexpected callers, and lt 1* nice to offer them some *ort ot light refreshments or a meal. The following food* will help to "stretch" the ordinary family meal to truest proportions; or, Indeed, an entire menu may be -ullt up from the** emergency shelf supplies alone: Non-Perishables; Can of corn; oan of tomatoes; stuffed olives; chipped beef; cocoa powder; cans of evaporated milk; tea and coffee; granulated and confectioner's sugar, manhmallows, and stuffed olives, crackers. Prom the above list, alone, you can serve this tempting ftupper: Creamed chipped beef (using canned milk); baked corn; side dish of tomatoes—or, lt you happen to have bread and eggs on hand, thicken the hot tomatoea with aeveral egga, add a Uttle minced onion, few bread crumbs, and serve, bot, on toast. Marshmallowa plaoed on crack- era, and sipped under the broiler flame or in * moderate oven, make a nice dessert, served with sliced canned pineapple, accompanied by tea or oo/fee. Perishables: Extra mUk. egg* and butter; lettuce; bread; pimiento or cream chess* and a package of sponge cake from tbe grocer's. With the*e few extra supplies, you may' add the following dishes to a too- slender menu: Pimiento cbeeee sandwiches; sandwiches made by boiling eggs hard, mashing them with butter, and adding come pimiento cheese he- fore spreading on bre^d.

There wa* creamed chicken on tout, hot roll* and marmalade, and the exquisite ooffee which Colt'* butler grind* and boll* with such loving artistry; tha email of that ooffee 1* Uk* lnoens* in my memory. After hi* third cup of that priceless beverage, and «, voracious attack on the chicken, Dougherty leaned back, beaming brightly. When at last he spoke, bl* conversation had nothing to do with the crime. Instead, Dougherty began to talk of hi* shooting lodge in the Adirondack* of the ways of wild esme ln fog and sunshine, and the Joya of living the heamlt'a life, which Dougherty, who had been married three times and bad eleven children, could hymn with gusto. Colt responded ln kind, enthusing over the fishing near the shores of Cape Cod, where he has his summey hom*. In this vein the talk rolled on, until Arthur interrupted us with an announcement: There ls a gentleman downstairs snd he would like to see Mr. Colt right away, and he aay* It'* about a murder case of a girl named Miss Christine, and he ny* he ha* something to confess. And he My* hts name is Ouy Everett.'* For a full moment, none ot us spoke. Then Colt reached for his pipe and murmered: "You may send up Mr. Ouy Everett Immediately." The appearance ot the actor was tragic. Ouy Everett could not have dressed the part of mental anguish more appropriately. He waa etlll I find myself ln the equivocal poaltlon of eo many other polioe chief* In tbe United States; namely, holding a position of great responsibility but deprived o( tbe essential authority to discharge It without tear snd without favor,— Oeneral Pelham D.

At others the bidding stopped at tour spades, owing to North'* unwillingness to j further with a singleton epade. At meet of the table* South made aa original forcing bid and next put ln a bid of five spades. Soms Norths felt strong enough to go to alx, and others passed. Wherever North bid six *pid*s, eouth passed and west doubled. At acme tables South redoubled. At every table but on* the five spadee headed by Jack-10 ta one adverse hand pat tbe taking of IS tricks entirely beyond declarer** capabilities; but at one table Shepaxd Barclay, Vbo held the South cards, murmured "nil desperandum" and proceeded to ehow bow It eould ba done. Be pla_>ed the hand ae follows: West led a heart to trick 1 which South took with ths aee aad led the four of spade*; dummy played the winning queen, and East's re- fusal ahowed the horrified declarer that his work wae cut out for hia. There waa still a slender chance and Ur. Barclay went after It. At trick 8 a email heart from dummy ws* ruffed by South with tbe flv* of *pad*s, aad to' trick* 4 and s South led the king and queen of clubs, dummy overtaking the latter with tbe *ce and continuing with tbe Jack of clube on which South discarded hi* amall diamond, A third heart from dummy ruffed by South left th* South aad Wast hand* holding four trumpa each. After this South led the ace of trumpe and then to tricks 9 and 10 tbe aoe and king of dlamonda. Of course If West's aloe cards had aot been three hearts, two diamond*, and three clubs, Mr. Barclay'* scheme would not have worked. To trick 11 Mr. Barclay led the nine of trumpe from tile South hand, and West's' goo** wee cooked, It he took that trick he would loe* tbe other two; if he did not cover he atm would take only one trump trick; eo Mr. Barclay, 'due to extremely clever play and helped by an extremely lucky distribution, made hi* small-slam contract.

Week of Dec S« to Jan 1, 1939, ln central provinces begin* with a oold spell, generally unsettled and blustry weather. On account of the rapid movements of tbe low preuure areas In tola glon at this tlms the cold waves, while severe, are of ahort duration, eo that about the 39th temperatures definitely moderate, then drop to lower levels, but by end of week slightly warmer, owing to passage of rather stormy oondt< tions carrying light snows and strong wind*. About 80th ought to be clearest part of the week, except about Pacific elope and ln great lake* region*. A feature of tbe weather thl* winter ln thees regions appears to be unusually sudden changes. This Is dua to th* fact that thia year tbe permanent blghe ot Nevada and Hudson Bay am drawing nearer each otber, la tbe course of a slow periodic oscillation, setting up a line of pressure stress extending from northwest Alberta via tbe great lakes region* to ths St. Lawrence river valley.

It is the experience of a number of other American cities, among them, the city of Portland, Oregon. This city passed through a milk-borne epidemic of septic sore throat, similar to Danbury's epidemic, two years ago, with this exception: Danbury's population is 20,000 where Portland's population is 275,000, or over twelve times as great. Portland's number of cases was 478; Danbury's 100, according to the statement in last night's Evening News. "Now the question is: Will this menace, which it hanging over our citizens and their children, and which is ever present as long as we allow raw milk to be sold in Danbury, bring about activity in the direction of procuring for us a SAFE MILK SUPPLY?" The evidence in favor of pasteurization is so overwhelming we do not feel we would be doing the right thinp by our customers if we did not pasteurize our milk and cream, as well as our other dairy products sold from our plant.
