One minuter tbey were there-the next they% had vanisbed into thin air or were decorating the legs o! some stock- ingless human. Seems a shame that clothing isn't even safe in a village o! Ibis size--especiably stockings whicb in the near future may be difficuit 10 obtain. Now we suppose that every person witb a new pair o! stockings on will be looked at in a most peculiar fashion.

MEETS ITS OBLIGATIONS TO GOV'T Statements recently made in the IH ouse o! Commons at Ottawa dis- close the fact that the Canadian 'Pacific Railway over the paît few years bas been a good client o! the Dominion Goveroment insofar as the latter bas gone into the bus- iness o! lending money to assist vital industries in the perform- ance of services absolutely essen- tial to the carrying on o! the nia- tion's business. Between the years 1931 and 1941, the Goveroment advanced boans to the company foc various purposes as follows: during the sommer o! 1936 it was necessary to find work for uncmployed men in many parts of Canada. To aid in this purpose the Govecnment advanced the company a total o! $554,700. This boan xvas fully ce- paid by , instalîments between January, 1938, and January, 1942. Over the period the company paid to the Governmcnt intecest at 2 1-2 per cent, totalling $47,567.42. Betwecn September, 1935, and March, 1936, the Governmcnt lent the company a total o! $1,270,000 10 finance the betterment and ce- pairing o! railway equipment. Those were days whcn the de- pression had seriously reduced the company's available funds for Ibis work. The boan was fully rcpaid betwccn January, 1938, and January, 1942. No intercst %,Vas to be paid on this boan for the first two ycars, but later interest payments at 4 per cent werc made to a total of $170,854.79. During the period 1935-38 the Government purchased railway equiprncnt 10 a total value o! $5,730,000. This was sold to the Canadian Pacific under a hire- purchase agreement and the en- tire amount was repaid to the Governmcnt by January, 1943. This boan was jnterest free for two years. After that pcriod the company paid intcrcst at 3 per ccnt, a total o! $610,978.61. A similar arrangement was made for the purchase o! cquip- ment over a pcriod including the ycacs 1939 and 1941. The Govern- ment lent the company a total o! $9,951,489.64, at 3 1-2 per cent in- terest. This was fully cepaid by December, 1942, with intercst theccon amounting to $844,990.53. Over the period until these boans were fully rcpaid, therefore, the Canadian Pacifie made a total in- terest payment o! $1,674,391.35. At least one third o! the weap- ons Britain is making in 1943 are new weapons, and this proportion will be increased as the year goes on.

This is particularlxy truc of sweet clover. It is esti- mated that under soîtable weath- er conditions for nectar secre- tions, one acre of ciover allowed to blossomn normally \vill yield from 1 to 200 pounds of' honey. Just n0w there is an abondance o! clover of ail kinds growing along coadsides and on onculti- vated land which, if allowed to bloomn would add many thous- ands, perhaps millions of pounds to the honey crop of Canada. In order that this potential crop of food may be secured it is hoped that in any region whcre cutting the vegetation aiong roadsde and on waste land, is practcd NEWS SITGAR RATIONED; NEED MORE HONEY (Experimental Farm News) Because o! sugar rationing evcry pound o! honey that can be produccd is urgently needed, co n- sequently beekeepers in Canada are bcing urgcd 10 work theirj becs and equipment to the utmost capacity. The main sources o! honey in Canada are Alsike, White Dutch and Sweet Clovers. Although the. major portion o! the honey crop comes from the clovers grown j under cultivation a great amournt1 o! il is sccured from those that grow under natural conditions along roadsides and on unculti- vated land, says C. B. Gooderbam, Dominion Apiarist. Usually the cultivated crops are cul for bay before they finish blooming, 50 that the flow o! nectar is pre- matureby stopped and the possible honey crop reduccd. Un de r natural conditions, however, the HUMPHREY MITCHELL Minditer of Labguar an effort will be made to leave standing as much of the clover as possible. NEW HONEY FRICE SCHEDULE New ceiling prices for honey have been issued but there is littie change from the schedule in ef- fcct in 1942. Producers selling honey in hu]k stili have a ceiling o! 15 1-2 cents lb. for extracted honey when selling direct to con- sumer.

This is one of many intercsting facts revealed in the Commnission's 380-page annual report which is nnw off the press. In the introduction, Dr. Thomas H. Hogg, chairman and chief en- gineer, shows that the peop le of Ontario have a capital invest- ment of 483 million dollars in the Hydro undertaking. backed hy reserves of 290 million dollars; of these amounts, 128 million dol- lars and 107 million dollars rep- resent the assets and reserves o! the co-operating municîpalities in their Hydro utilities. The report shows that regolar. fulfilment of debt retirement, schedules continued to redoce liabilities doring 1942. Leaving out of consideration the eqoit yof' 57 million dollars xvhich the local utilities have acquired in the; power suppîx lacilities of The Hyýdro-Electric Power Commis- sion, by payments in the cost of power, the percentage of net debt, to total assets of the 297 local I H-ydro utilities is now less than 12 per cent. There are now 116 Hydro util- ities which have no debentures unpaid, and more than 230 of the 297 urban Hydro utilities in On- tario have quick assets exceeding their total liabilities and are thus "oot of debt". In the report attention is drawn to the completion of many hydro- clectric developments and the' extension of transmission and dis- tribution facilities and it is point- cd out that the soond policies followed in adhcring to bigb standards of construction and equipment are yielding rich div- idends in freedom from break- downs under the greatly incrcased loads of wartime. i j I TCHSTOPJPJD 1 TC -orManey Bàck For quick relieffromtitcbing ofeczema.pimoples, ath- lt'. font. scale, scabies. rahes and other externally «ufted ski., trobles, use fast-acting, co,ling, anti. boptie. liquid D.
