The greatest menace to `successful agriculture today is weeds. This ap- plies not only on the prairies, where careless farmers are operating large farms but with the smaller farmer who does not diligently try to destroy weeds. In southern Manitoba and in south- ern Saskatchewan farmers are aband- oning their holdings and are moving to new settlements. The trouble with the weed menace is that no one can `keep his own weeds at home. They are a menace to all and it will need a serious undertaking on the part. or farmers to overtake the weeds. one lot the most inexcusable operations on a farm is sowing weeds. The careless farmer who puts dirty weed seeds into his seed drill is his own worst enemy. Are we as careful today in. this respect as we were 40 years ago?

An Old Testament Prodigal The morning theme was a very in- teresting combination of the experi- ences of the writer of Psalm 40 and of the prodigal son. Man made for . fellowship with God could descend to : lowest levels. Fellowship was broken r because something had happened and Kthat something was sin. and sin 2 separates. It drove man out from the i presence of God. The whole Bible was :'a comment on that driving out, and ; the great provision which God had . made for man's return. The story of the prodigal is the story of man. One can be in the far country without tra- lvelling from his home, for the thing `which cuts off is sin.

He , `pointed out that the Theatre Guild 1 ,was an association of young people , ljwhose primary consideration was not . `.'-the making of money. It was found- L ed on aesthetic principles and similar . F , branches `existed throughout - Canada `E and the United States. No individual -- ' in the organisation got any money out - `of its activities and the sole purpose was to develop latent talent in those who became members. The Theatre Guild. Mr. Longman insisted. was fill- ing a useful niche in the community r 1 and in that respect was much like the I I literary societv of the Collegiate Insti- 1; tute except that it was not affiliated f directly with the school and included t ' older people. Under the circumstances 3 he felt that the Board might very well M e make a special rate to the Guild. 1- - 9-v,.__..___.1. 4511..

Under the circumstances it was felt it would be better to defer action until more representative consideration could be given to the points raised.

Art Thou Weary, Art Thou Languid?" Agri- v ` culture is a scientific business requir- 1 ing more energy and more scientific knowledge and more money than ever before. The farn_1'mg business has changed. Once out West I fed 160 steers that averaged fourteen hundred pounds and got the top price for them. Buyers used to want them big and fat: j now the smaller aniznel is requiredw not more than 900 pounds to get the top price. Today we must have small- er, better cattle. Out West the ranch-; ers who used to produce the heavierf cattle now turn out calves in feed lots and sell them as soon as possible The same might be said of pork. The big` fat porker is no longer in demand. In` fact a mixture of fat and lean is` re- quired and you cannot get it like the Irishman who attempted to do so by feeding his hogs one day and i=tar~'iv~.g : them the next. We have to produce I type of hog to please the British market. Britain will pay for what she wants but we have to supply the par- ticular kind she desires. by putting a higher standard of Wiltshire bacon on the British market. On account of having to ship across the ocean we have to produce better bacon than countries closer than we are. nu..- 1-nvnn H-na nnnlips tn sheen.

Kelly, Toronto, will face the `polcie magistrate, Friday. on a charge of criminal negligence. Provincial po- lice allege that he ran down Margaret Grose, 14 years old, of Churchill on Saturday night about eight o'clock and" that he drove away from the scene of the accident without stopping. Miss Grose was badly hurt but is ` making a rapid recovery. , Miss Grose, accompanied by two girl friends of her own age, Mina Mor- ris and Jean McEwen, started to walk 1 , to the skating rink in Churchill a- 1 bout eight o'clock Saturday night. ' They kept to the right hand side of =. the road and had not gone far before they heard a car approaching from be- hind. "Misses Morris and McEwen jumped to safety in the deep snow at the side of the highway but Miss Grose was not so fortunate and was 1 struck by the fast moving machine. 3 She was knocked unconscious and was 1 taken to the office of Dr. Duncan Mc- `_Callum where it was found that she` 9 had a severe scalp wound and was` F suffering from concussion. After the- doctor had stitched the cut the girl ,was taken to the home of Rev. J. McEwen where she was cared for and was able to go to her home that night. , She is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Grose and lives near the village of Churchill. (1..-- ..t&.... 'L-H. up-.;~.aln-n+ nu-nuih-mntlzl Glass OI \JI1Ll1'U1lJU.. I ` Soon after the accident provincial i police at Barrie were notified and Sergeant Creasy and John Kelly, high county constable, started for the scene of the trouble. They stopped cars on the highway as they proceeded but failed to find the suspect machine which was described as a Studebaker sedan. They had left a description of the auto with Constable Frank Rayner and when they returned to town they found that he had picked up the car ' about one o'clock in the morning. It ' was evident that the driver had pass- ed along the highway before the pro- '!vincia1 police established their watch. `I'\wIvrnr no +1-m mar mag {mind in be! vmclar pouce ezsbuuumxcu uucu. wuv\.u.` Driver of the car was found to be` `William J. Kelly. With him were Til- bert Bell and Gertrude Hwrriman of. Toronto.

According to the story told by Kelly he was going to Collingwood and miss- ed the train at Toronto. He decided- that he would drive to Allandale and catch the train there.
