Wheat Pool Head Dies at Regina (REGINA, October 21—Iperated on two weeks ago tor appendicitis and apparntly well on the road to recovery, A. J. MacPhail. president of the Saskatchewan Wheat pool since Its in- cevtlon ln 1924, died suddenly early thlg morning when a blood clot formed in the blood stream, affecting his heart |He had been in the hospital a little less than three weeks when the end came and his family had made pre- paratis to receive him home tor convalescence. Outside of his activities in connec- necction whith the wheat pool, little publicity came into the life of Mr. MacPhail. A farmer by vocation, he stayed close to the farm all hta life, even when officially residing ln Regina, and spent much of his time on tVa proiiarty at Latttoek. WANT BRITISH COLUMBIA CHICKENS ' It is not generally known that the Japanese forestalled tbe Russian five- year plan by a ten-year plan of their own for the improvement of their poultry breed. This scheme has now been under way for several years. They buy shipments each year of 300- egg hens, or the chickens of eggs cf 300-egg hens. The last shipment of chicks, purchased under this scheme, from a British Columbia champion hen reached Japan in perfect condition, and it is expected that the Japanese wil 1 double their orders for pedigree poultry and eggs here this year. 8ECOND IN G LD Last year Canada stood second in gold production among tbe nations of the world, being exceeded only by another empire country, the South African Transvaal, which vroduced 19 719,760 line ounces. Canada's production was 2,102,068 ounces, slightly tn advance of the United States. If Canada was second among the nations, British, Columbia was second among the provinces. Intario was >.n easy first with 1,736,012 ounces, British Columbia following with 164,331. Quebec was next in order with 141.747. Other provinces were insignificant in go'd production. The Yukon territiry, so prolific a few years ago, come next to Quebec with 35,517 ounces. Gold production has been stimulated by Industrial depression- and a larger output Is expected this year. AN ACORN-FILBERT J. R. Terrp, provincial poultry Inspector, has discovered a nut that appears to be a hpbrld of the filbert and the acorn, lt was taken from a Albert bush on Major Duke's estate near Sidney. The hush grew close to an oak tree. The nut had a shell like an acorn, but the kernel was edible like a filbert and it wag much larger than average acorn. As cross pollination between the oak and filbert species Is Bald to be Impossible, no one appears to be able to explain the mps- tery. EMPIRE CORN ARRIVES Within the past week there has tjeen imported Into the province, direct from Africa, a shipment of 4000 tons of South African corn for distribution here. So far as known, this appears to have been the first shipment of this corn in large quantities to reach the province. It is of good quality and free from the weevil that has often proved detrimental to Imported corn from other places. With the corn came a shipment of 560 tons of guano fertilizer, chiefly used by Chinese gardeners. These shipments came direct by steamer from South Africa to New Westminster.

Due to its superior protein content, wheat from the dyked lands ln the Kootenay valley is commanding a premium of 27 cents a bushel over the eeattle price. By PAT TERRY WEST ORANGE, N.J., October 19. —"Thomas Alva Edison. Born February .11, 1847. Died October 18, 1931." Edison, world-benefactor, Napoleon of Inventions, father of a thousand industries that have enriched life, would wish f ior no other epitaph than that. He lived died, simply, but withna- tural dignity and grandtur. and during his long life gave unsparingly of the vast power5 his Maker had granted him. ■His guiding vrinciple throughout a life spent in laborious research was selfless devotion to the relentless urge that drove him from discovery to discovery. Not a man, woman or child, accepting as a rightful inheritance electric lighting, the cinema, the phonograph; amusement provided by radio, or safety provided hy wireless and telegraphy; the practical simplicity of the telephone; ease provided by vast improvements ln machinery; comforts in the home due to electric pow- (jr; business facilities such as the die taiphone and the typewriter, but in reality owes a debt of gratitude to the genius which flowed unendingly from the mighty brain of Edison. "He received some instruction from his mother." Therein ls the whole tale of Edison's meager education.- A Scottish school- mother and a Dutch father did their best with the shy boy to overcome the handicap of grinding poverty. Scottish tenacity saw to it that, though the young Edison were forced to eschew the educational advantages ot other boys, he should at least be taught to value education for its own sake. Later ln life that lesson bore fruit. Ellson, with leisure to study, taught himself. Been to poor circumstances. Edison, when the last of his patents—more than 1400 of themhad been taken out, was declared to have been re- sponslbles for industries, either baaed wholly on his inventions or materially aided by them, to the value of 115,569,000,000. He was working when twelve years old as a "newsy" on the Grand Trunk railway trains, already visualizing the days when he should be able to devote time and money to research In mechanical and electrical things. (Grand Tfunk railway now, such is the whirligig of Time, uses the Edi- laon BtoragebaUeryt, Edison primary battery and Edison dictating. machine.) There was a struggle with adverse circumstances, unemployment, disappointment ,in his early days in the city. He had saved the life of of a trainman's child, and been taught telegraphy In gratitude; he concentrated on apparatus in connection with the work, improving, invent.ng, ln secret, until, at 22 years of age. he entered Into partnership for the manufacture of stock tickers. A year later he received his first money for inventions, $40,000, and opened a manufacturing shop in Newark, N. J. Eight years of unremitting toll followed, the light of discovery leading him from one invention or improvement, to another.

Within the laboratory Edison, tlred?eyj;d Itjut watchful, waited as the slender carbonized cotton thread was affixed to a little stem of glass. The sun was waning. 11 the evening the work went on. During the night the lamp was partly completed the glass stem and filament resting within the bulb. Early next morning the delicate job of creating the vacuum, by the pump, was The carbon telephone transmitter mads telephony a commercial art. The microphone, which he Invented, has made radio possible. Slowly, palnstaklnglp, burning himself up in the process, he evolved the phonograph, In the latter half of 1877 and the Art holt ot 1878. Who shall compute the value of the Instrument? Who, made merrp by Its dance tunes, thr.lled by its classical music, catches a glimpse of the man whose sleepless nights, whose belief in himself, produced the uncanny instrument. When first he heard the crude phonograph repeat after him the simple words he had uttered to it, it seemed, he der.'ared later, "almost supernatural." As though the invention of the phonograph had given him reinforced elements of vigor, as though hos vision had been strengthened and clarified, he set himself to the arduous task which has revolutionized life, of inventing the incandescent lamp and a long-life filament. Ipposlt'on, the sneers of the unbelieving, could not deter him. Solldl- tarp he sat and figured where his Idea should lead. Hc foresaw a worl dlit- erally sprinkled with power stations, sending their radiance to the Incandescent lamps he would devise. Onlp his few helpers, delicate lingered model-maker Charles Batchelor; young, taciturn vacuum-pump tender Francls Jehl; agate-minded mathematician, Francis, Upton; scientific (lass- mounted on tho test stand for its life- tet. There had been other lamps tested. None had proved Itself. The group of workers looked ot each other. But tuis one, with the Improved filament, should be successful— The lamp begins to glow, yellow, a spot of fascinating light In the strange shadowy darkness of the factory. The men settled down to tlie "death watch," aB Jehl named It, a vigil to see how long the filament would last. Hours bIIv by. Edison, with narrowed eyes, sits before his axperimenl. The others take turns. Bit with him. T.me passeB slowly. 'For forty hours the filament glowed, I'.nd it wsb never left by Edison. It burned slowly to Its death at last. No trace of emotion passed over Edison'B face. But: "Good," he said. 'If we can make a lump that will burn for forty hours, we can make one that will burn a hundred." In a few months he had made one to last a thousand. Success had come. It was then only a mutter of demonstrating to the still unteiieving world the utillity of tho lamp. Nearly fifty-two years ago Edison benefited the world with his lamp, iproibahly his greatest achievement. And In tho time between that and his death, he spilled nrodfgally the wealth ot his restless brain before the world. Which of thiB man's Inventions ahall be called the greatest, sStpr the October 23.—The British Columbia markets representative ln London, Hon. T. G. Coventry, cables that the American and Canadian apples are being forced on the British market to such an extent as to threaten a glut. He says that shippers should realize that any market must be systematically fed or the price is sure to 'break. British Columbia shippers should consider the advisability of storing their apples to sell to better advantage when the rush is over. As evidence of the above, he states that for the four weeks ending October 13,' 2,989,000 boxes came lu as against 1,205,000 for the same period last year and 838,000 for the year before that. Luckily British Columbia shipments were light, since of the above British Columbia sent only 44,- 000 boxes to October 3 as compared with 133,000 boxes lust year. Wealth- are selling at 10 shillings and Macs from 12 to 13 shillings. Vernon reports that the movement ot bulk Mcintosh and Jonathan apples continues, but the export volume la negligible, and mixed car shipments have tailed off for the season. There. is ample storage facility for i apples so far, and shipments are leuv ing daily for storage at prairie centers and at Toronto and Montreal. The "Wee Mac" apple container is meeting with success on tho domestic market and repeat orders aro coming In. A large prairio firm has applie.l for the exclusive sale of apples in these packages. Practically all vegetables except onions and tomatoes aro cleaned up at tlio warehouses. The fixed value for duty on lettuce was cancelled on October 8, and it is now coming more freely and selling cheaper on the coa;t markets. California lettuce is selling wholesale at $5.50 a crate. Egg prices in Vancouver have risen from 2 to 4 cents dozen. In Victoria bulk Mcintosh apples are selling at 3Vic a pound. Jonathans, tiered and lined, bring $1.50 to $1.60 a box. Local applos are sell ing at 85c a box. VICTORIA.—Encouraged by ceptiltie Improvement in the gun fruit situation, the government lias moved to facilitate the distribution of information on fruit movements. Not only did lt decide to continue the existence of the Veruon marketing bureau which it hud threatened to abolish, but ,t extended tbe functions of this estblishnient.

The new arrangement will speed up this distribution am) prove of great value to the growers, It is believed. According to advices received by the government, the price of bulk apples has advanced $5 a ton. More apples are going into storage than ever before at this season, indicating that til's pruvinee will have plenty of fruit to supply Its needs until the next crop, .t was stated. The placing of apples ln storage will help to firm the market a llttsU later it is believed. incandescent lamp? The motion- picture camera? The discovery of how to make synthetic carbolic acid?

The tale of Edison's Inventions is a thrilling tale of one discovery after another, so many of them that each loses its significance unicBS value tn the world is dwelt on. Vcar after year, with regularity and economy of effort, he produced in the last fifty years of his life, brain-children thut grew up to serve the generation. He left nothing untouched. New ideas flooded into his mind. He made money—yes, plenty of it—but poured it back Into his research work In a steady stream to quicken the flow of nventlons. And he is dead.

Far from ft. lt means that we have discovered the truth that the body is au excellent vehicle for happiness and service if we treat it properly. A time w.ll come, I hope, when to complain of illness, to lose time at work because of illness, will be a disgrace. That day will come when we have buned the traditions of the past and their devastating effects; when we have broken clear of histories •f personal health, of poor nervous spstems, of bodies weakened by disease in one wap or another." AS a New York-Chicago train was speeding along the railway ii encountered a great storm of wind and rain. The stssker persuaded she driver to stop the train, '.or he insisted he had seen a woman in black dancing before the engine. With lantern in hand, the driver left the locomotive and walked along the line to Rock creek. To h|B dismay, he found that the bridge had been washed away by the overflowing titer.

Health Service OUR MINERAL NEEDS ROYAL blood is something to bag about, but Count Eric Josef Chmielewski is becoming an expert at pondering where heshall obtain his next bowl of soup. The count, who would have inherited $7,000,000 from his father If politics iu Europe hud not gone awrp, lost his car In the west and hitch-hiked to Kansas City, be says. lie admiis he is "stranded." Lot the count, a rather seedp descendant of once .bearde.I noblemen of Poland and Germany, is willing to go to work. One of his excellency's claims lo fame is that lie once hunted lobsters with the former kaiser. His father, Kurt Chmielewski, according to the count, attemvted to smuggle the kaiser back to Germany in 1022, with the intention of overthrowing the republic. The count's parents were divorced in 1925 aud he went to America with his mother. She had been a friend of Mrs. Fraud Sheldon of Kansas City. The count and his mother remained there about a week and went to the Pacific coast to visit relatives. Later his mother married again and now lives on a farm near Goebel, ore. Being just 21 years old, the count had a flair for politics. He said he had been active in Oregon's last campaign. Farm life did not appeal bo him, and he set out for New York in an old car. He had an accident on the wap, and his car was taken for damages. He then began to hitch-hike to Kansas City. The count smiled as he recalled he would have inherited about $7,000,000 If Europe had not overthrown its nobility after the World war. "I'm mere concerned now over where my next meal will come from than In $7,000,000," he said. "I have done various kinds of work and am willing to do anything to earn money." Dr. iShelden said that the youth's story was correct and that his wife had met the count and his mother in Germany many years ago. The doctor described the count as an ambitions youth. The count is a small man with big eyes and be is partly bald. He wears heavy-rimmed spectacles. A BATTERY of 14-inch railway guns capable of scoring lilts on mov.ng vessels 25 miles away and said 'o be the most powerful artillery yet developed for American armed forces is now an effective part of the defense ef the Panama canal, supplementing tbe fixed 16-Inch guns there. The guns ure so mounted they may be hauled from one side of the isthmus to the other, set up and made ready for firing within six hours. Heretofore the 14-incii guns at the canal have not been movable. Outranging tbe longest 16-inch battleship guns in the world by six miles, the new railway gun fires with the precision of a rifle. In recent practice out of 11 shots fired the battery scored a hit on tlie forward turret of a moving target the size of the battleship California 23 miles away. A development of the 1900 army gun and the old navy 14-inch railway gun that was used in France during tho World war, the new piece of artiliery weighs 730,000 pounds with carriage, hps a maximum range of 47,000 yards with an Initial velocity of 3000 feet a second, and a maximum elevation of 50 degrees as compared with aoout 27 degrees ln thc old gun. The new gun traverses without moving its carriage, whereas the old pieces had tobe mounted on a curved track and swung around to change direction. Using a projectile weighing 1200 pounds, it costs $700 every time oue of these giants is fired. Built in the carriage ls a powerful plant, consisting of a 125-horsepower engine directly coupled to a OOkilowutt generator, which furnishes power for motors which raieeaud lower the mount, operate power and shot cranes, elevate and depress the gun, turn the mount around on Its base, aud furnish air for closing the breech and for blowing out bases after the projectile has been discharged. Because of its heavy weight in traveling the gun and locomotive must be separated by three to eight gondola cars to prevent the two heaviest weights crossing a bridge at the same time. SPAIN map pass through troublous t mes but there Is one communilp lu that countrp ylilch is not l.keiy tu oe disturbed whatever happens. This Is the strange colonp of wild camels which have made a home for .themselves in the lower reaches of the Guadalqu vir river. Many years ago an attempt was made to introduce camels for agricultural work In southern Spain. The plan was not a success, and those camels which did not die strayed off to fend for themselves. A few af them fouud a retreat in the vast alluvial plain through wh ch tbe sluggish stream of the river winds Its wap to the Gulf of Cadiz. Oue could hardly imagine a situation more unlike thatt to which » camel normallp is accustomed. The land is largelp waterlogged and covered with a dense growth of reeds aud rushes many feet In height. From the human voint of view, the district is extreinelp unhealtkp, although animal life llo'Urishe. At the least sign ol' danger the animals retreat to the swamps, where the ground Is so soft that it ls Impossoble for a men to follow. Of course, the broad feet of the camel, which help the creature to walk on loose sand, have also slood lt in good stead lu these marshes, where a horse or a cow certainly would never be able to travel safely. When speaking oii our national wealth aud resources, the abundance of minerals In our country Is generally referred to. .Minerals are of great value because they are used so widely lu our modern civilization to provide the thiugs we use in our daily life. Minerals are important not only because they are useful, but because some of them are an essential part oi our food. We may indeed woudei what we could do without, for instance, the copper which enters Into so many things which we seem to re quire, and us for tlie minerals in oui food, we see no possibility of .a substitute; they are apparently indlspen sable. About ti per cent of the body weight is made up of minerals which entei into composition of all tbe tlssuej. Calcium is the mineral used most extensively by the body; it ls the cklel constituent of bones and teeth. Minerals ure present iu varying amounts in a wid var ety of foods. Calcium is found in abundance in cabbage, watercress, lettuce, Brussels apiouts uud onions. Sodium com s In apples, strawberries aud spluach. iron s preseut iu spinach, lettuce ami strawberries. An adequate supply of minerals is secur d by those who use fruits and vegetables each duy. The most common error In selecting foo.'.., IS not to choose a sufficient quantity or variety of veg tables and fruits. Many ndi- viduuls would enjoy a greater measure of health It they were lo give some thought to yhat they at. It is certainly not suggested that wef become faddists, lt Is, however quite reasonable that some att ntiuu be giveu to foods, for the foods we eat detenu ne, in large m asure, to what extent health will be enjoyed. In order to make sure of a Ps'op riy balanced diet, which means a diet containing a sufficient amount of all the substauces which the body requires and which it s cures from the food eaten, a w de variety of foods should be used, lt is not necessary to* know what elements this food or that contains If a wide vari ty is used, be cause the variety assures a sufficiency of tho essentials. The wide var ety will include miilt and milk products, gr en leafy vegetables and fresh fruits. When such a variety is used, there will be a sufficient supply of minerals and all other food constituents in the dl t. Eat a w de variety of foods. Use milk and milk products daily, and make sure that fruits and green leafy vegetabl s form a regular part of the diet.

Merrimen A Cbink wit a picturesque queue A maiden did venture to wueue. Almond Bloom was her name; She resembled the same From her head to the tip of her shueue! USED rpHE fact that some of our modern games are very old A was Bhown recently when the University of Pennsylvania museum acquired a die, dating from about 2750 B.C., which may have beenone ct a pair used in backgammon. The backgammon of ancient days was played on a tablet ruled with straight lines, instead of the colored triangles painted on tbe modern board, which is said to date from about the tenth century. But the principle ~o wtych lt was played has been preserved, and, like p. flumber of other modern games, backgammon's ancient origin is still apparent. The Greeks played a form of backgammon in which the men or counters were moved along • rectangular board known as the "abacus"; the players took turns at throwing dice, and advanced their men according to the numbers they threw. The Romans had a similar game known as "Scripta Duodeclm," or twelve lines, which they probably carried over from the Greeks. That backgammon was also known to other peoples of ancient times Is shown by a board, discovered at Ul and dating from about 3000 B.C., which is also ln the collection of Penuaylvania university. The die recently acquired by the museum was found at Tepe Gawra in Mesopotamia. I3ven older than backgammon is the game of dice. Sopho- .les wrote that dice were invented during the s.ege of Troy by one Palamedes, a Greek; Herodotus credited Uie Lydians with thbe accomplishment; but the discovery •-.. dice in very early Or.ental tombs Indicates that they ore probably of Asiatic origin. Sunlight influences life even in the deep sea, says Prof. W. E. Allen of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, at La Jolla, California. Diatoms, m.nute living creatures of delicate color and beautiful forms, are more spiny and slender at considerable depths, he says, than those living nearer the surface. Professor Allen holds that this attenuated form is a response to the feeble light, being the form affording the best conditions for absorbing the energy of light.

Palazuelos, haa been discovered in «"1 the mountains of Spain. The strangeness ot this hamlet lies In the fact that most of its people have six-fingered hands, two thumbs on each one. Few of the villagers over have reached the outside world because the moun tain trails are Impassable to wheeled vehicles. So the world knew nothing about them until recently. Intermarriage caused by extreme Isolation is believed by some anthropologists to be the cause of the double thumbs Other scientists call attention to the fact that since most ef the men work in stone quarries and have done so for generations their labor has tended to broaden their tiiumba until finally Mother Nature produced an extra member. The villagers do not regard their double thumbs as a deformity but consider them as a mark of distinc- ton. While a comparatively simple operation would re move the extra thumb of any child and give it a normal hand, the villagers violently object to any such suggestion.

MASTER FARMER MOVEMENT A movement for the selection of master farmers of British Columbia has been initiated and an attempt will be made to carry it out along hues that have already proved successful in the prairie provinces. There the farmers' Institutes or associations nominate certain representative farmers, who are subject to an elaborate questionnaire. Inspections of the farms are also made, and medals and certificates awarded the winners.

Encamped at Loretteville, Quebec, where they are establishing a village in which the ancient arts of the redman are practiced, members of the Six Nations under the leadership of 81 year old Chief Wolverine recenHy honoured the Canadian .Pacific Commodore by adopting him into the tribes and conferring chieftainship upon him as a tribute to his feats of seamanship with the big white "war- canoe." Meeting the Empress of Britain in their gaily decorated birch-bark canoes a score of braves and Squaws, led by Wolverine, Running Bull, American Horse and Princess White Eagle, danced their ceremonial dance on the Games Deck of the mighty; liner, stood in reverent silence while the old Chief invoked the great spiritB and rent the air with their whoops as Princess White Eagle and Ch,ief Wolverine crowned the new chief with a war bonnet of eajle's feathers.

Immortalizing Pioneer Priest One of the most colorful figures of the development of the Canadian West is immortalized today, at the scene of his labors, >St. Albert, on the Sturgeon River, just outside Edmonton, by the preservation in the Mission Park of the Oblate Fathers of the original "cathedral" and mission which he founded in 1860, under orders from His Lordship Bishop Tache, of St. Boniface, and in which he carried on his work until lis death in 1916. This celebrity is no less renowned personage than Rev. Father Albert Lacombe, _, after whom Lacombe, Alta. ii named, and who played such an Important part in the pacifying of the warring Indian Tribes of the West and the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway. His untiring efforts in the latter connection won him special recognition from Sir William Van Home, its president, who not only gave htm a permanent pass on the line,- but made him its head for one day. From the day of his arrival ln the West in 1849, from Quebec, where he * was born in 1827, this brave and energetic Oblate had staunch friends among the Indians and continued to establish himself, both among them and the white population, as one of the best-known and most-loved characters of the most stirring doys of the Prairies. Apart from his religious activities, Father Lacombe is known as one of the real Westerners of Canada. The country was in a very undeveloped state when he first established himself in it and Mission Park, today, stands for a great deal more than just a mission station, or tne scene of a devoted missionary's labours. It is a milestone in the progress of the Canadian West and, hence, in the progress of the Dominion. The pictures show: (1) the approach to Mission Park. (2) the interior of the old '"cathedral."

Chirpings From Rock Creek By The Sun's Correspondent), Gany of the district farmers were in town'on Saturday evening. It was later discovered that there was a meet.ng of the shareholders of the Horse Greeders' association. The meeting was held in the Rock Creek hotel, and there was a good line-up of the hard-working farmers of this district. Lany of the res.dentg ofRock Creek iipd the pleasure, last week, of meeting Hon. T. D. Pattulo, the Liberal leader of British Columbia. Ted McArthur, it is reported, is foreman at the Boundary Falls unemployment camp. Ail his friends congratulate him on gettiug the position and hope that lie will moke a success of the camp there better than he did when running his own camp. F. Dresser, of upper Rock creek, has been sick for the past few weeks with numerous rheumatic pains ln the in the shoulders. He got a cold when he was up the main Kettle river district, perhaps from sleeping out. ing which was held in Community ball. Jerry Haysen was here last Thursday. His motor car was in the garage hospital. Arthur Ruschwas doctoring it for iuie: iuia.1 disorders, with chronic gastraiiou of the engine and ulceration of Uie wheel joints. John Hindmore, who resides on the old Davis ranch, came to town on Saturday by motor car, bringing his sister, iMiss Hindmore, in with him. Tuesday and Wednesday nights were very cold, with several degrees of frost. Manp of the water pails standing outside were covered with about half an inch of ice. Most of the very tender vegetables have tieeu forzen. There are now very few (lowers left to remind us of the summer months. Ernie Johnson, the Brldesville mail carrier, wag In town on Tuesday evening. Mr. Letts, tbe storekeeper, and Mr. Purdy, the hotel proprietor of 'BridesvUle. were also in town. How strange It seems, these days, that veopje are alwajs "kicking"— constantly "kickink." For a long time the people havo beeu asking why Dr. i'ohnie—the premier of FGritish Columbia—<Ld not dismiss the Liberal civil service employees who were in of lice when the Conservatives went into power. Dr. Tolmie ls the ouly perfect gentleman in the Gritish Coi- umtfia government who, If he makes a promise, keeps strictly to It He might in every way be termed a gentleman, with a word of honor, and bo will assuredly be recorded inthe history of Gritish, Columbia as such. Did lie not stand op the vublic platform and tell thousands of Liberals and Conservatives that if he was elected to power he would not dismiss any . the civil service employees? And be has, like an honorable gentleman, kept his promise. Why he made that promise is, no doubt, puzzling to quite a number of Conservatives. Perhaps he knew that he could not find In the Conservative ranks men with enough brains to fill the offices, for It certainly takes bralng to run the government these days. Some one was asking recently, "Now if the Liberals win the next election, will they "fire' ■the few Conservatives who are holding job?" Well, that remaius to bo seen. They may not make any rash promises, as they are fully human. DGut when they were iu power they divided tho work between the two parties and helped all the people. So why do the people "kick"? Many of the prominent residents of Rock Creek and district were in town on Tuesday evening to attend a meet- (Note.—The above newB-letter arrived at the Sun office too late for publication last week.)

Fruit Breeding Farm Studying 2300 Tsees Grown From Seed Twenty-three hurdred seedling apple trees, each representing a different variety, were tbe principal attraction for visitors at the annual Apple Day, September II), ut the fruit breeding farm of the University of Minnesota, near Excelsior. These 2300 seed- lingg are bearing this year for the first time. Their fruit is being carefully tested ad'd the trees bearing superior fruit will Ic saved for further tudy. A few of the best varieties will be propagated, providing they are good enough to warrant introduction. Several dozen samples of fruit displayed at apple day gave evidence that many of the seedlings have considerable merit. J. D. Winter, president of the Minnesota State Horticultural society, sad that undoubtedly some of the varieties being viewed by tlie visitors would be extensively produced In the future and would add greatly to the fruit wealth of the state. Prof. W. H. Alderman, chief in horticulture at University farm, who directs the work of the fruit breeding farm, explained how the fseedlings had been produced. They were gtarted In 1918 and 1919 by cross-pollinating varieties of high quality, guch as Grimes Golden and Jonathan, with very hardy varieties, s uch as the Duchess. Seed of the apples grown from the crossspollinated blossoms were planted to produce the seedlings now being tested. The great majority of seedlings will possess little or only average merit, mr. Alderman explained, but it Is hoped to find a few really outstanding ones that will combine the high quality of the one parent with the hmrdinesg of the other, thereby making an ideal apple for Minnesota.

Allow Bees to Clean Out the Wet Combs Sticky, wet honey combs from which the honey has beta extracted are known as "wet combs." And since such combs are not only messy to handle but also favor the growth of the yeasts which are responsible for the spoilage of honey, it is advisable to store them away for the winter clean and dry. To do this the bee keeper gives them back to the bees, which clean them in a much more thorough way than hc could possibly do. Apart from the stickiness and the trouble from yeasts, wet combs, unless stored in an absolutely bee-tight honey-houge, are often responsible for much trouble from robbing, to say nothing of the trouble which sometimes arises when they are given back to the bees next season. Inhere are several methods of having tlie bees clean up the wet combs. One Is that of placing the supers or boxes of combs taken off a hive back on the same hive for 1st bees to clean. In doing this, there should be a blank space made by placing an empty super body between the hive and the tiered supers tltat the honey may be removed entirely from them. Otherwise the bees may deposit it in their center combs. A second method employed is what is known as the Uoadniaii method. This requires the use of a specially ronstructed floor board so made that it will support a hive of beeg and oue, two or three piles of wet supers, the entrance to which is secured only through the hive. Then there is the method of getting out supers ln the open, piled crisscross. This method, which is used at the apiary of the Central experimental farm, Ott.iwa, and though it is considered the best to get dry, clean combs, it can be used only 'by those who have no American foul brood. In using this method, set out one super of wet combs a day for each colony working on them. PEN POINTS Young men make the mistake of their lives falling in love with those who don't like their type.

That advertising through the printed page has the necessary attwctlve- ncss aud eilicienop of performance that brings profitable results. History has shown that continuous advertisers have found success, while non-advertisers have always been lagging behind. Lack of advertising is killing mi,ny a business that should show Increasing business Instead of decreasing business. Peple have been educated to the fact that well advertised products as a tho quality kind and thep won't buy ' any other. j Continuous advertising of quality creates a buying demand which assures the advertiser quicker turnover. Anp business in this day and time cannot stand still. Progress and competition demand that It move ahead or go out of business. Continuous advertising of quality and service builds and keeps the confidence of the public. Without the confidence of the public, no business can move ahead. Continuous advertising is the modern way of building better business. It proves to the public that the advertisers are proud of what they have for sale. Anything wodth selling .Is worth advertising. Advertising is the most egective selling help that can be found, because continuous advertising paves the wap to bigger sales. . Every business having something to sell should advertise continuously so the public may know who they are, where thep are, and what they have for sale.
