The Canadian Horticulturist has the following remedy for preventing rust on hollyhocks: We all have experienced 'rust' on hollyhocks. What is rust? Did you ever notice how the healthy leaves turn brown in spots in summer, then all brown, and then fall off, so that when the plants bloom they are void of leaves? That is 'rust. Many remedies have been tried but they have given only partial rellef. I came to a garden last fall where the owner told me of his successful ex- periment of curing rust. Further- more he had the proofs for plants not treated in this way were all affected, while those treated were all clean and healthy. Lift your hollyhock plants and heel them in a trench in some other spot. Then make a mixture of one pound of arsenate of lead and a half a pound of dry Mordeaux mixture and add four gallons of water. First soak the ground with water and then with the mixture, as given above. Dig the ground, and turn over with a spade fully twelve inches deep so that the top layer comes at the bot- tom. Allow the ground to remain idle for two weeks. Then lift your hollyhocks from the trench, puddle the roots in the mixture as given above, set in their former places, and with the mixture left over, moisten the surface. Two weeks later the soil must be treated again, but with a different solution, namely one tea- spoon full of arsenate of lead, one teaspoonful of Bordeaux mixture, and two gallons of water. In this way the plants will be kept free from rust for an entire season. Death of a Child. On April 15th, death entered the |, family of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Kul- pack, and claimed their youngest child, Edna May, nearly four years of age. Mrs. Kulpack and children had gone to Newburgh from King- ston to spend the holidays with Mrs. Kulpack"s parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. Rogers. While the children were playing on the lawn little Edna was stricken with a fatal disease, and passed away after a few hours' {ll- ness. The passing of such a bright little girl brought forth many ex- pressions of sympathy from the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Kulpack. The remains were placed in the New- burgh cemetery. Married at Kingston. Bob's Lake, April 27.--Miss La- tour has returned to Ompah after spending Easter holidays at Bob's Lake. Miss Helén Carty has also returned to her school after spend- Ing holidays at home. Mrs. John known all over the township. Her father, the late Robert Aylesworth, was for years a local preacher and from a young child she was always interested in the promotion of the work of God. She was a member of the Methodist church at Odessa and was an active worker in the Women's Missionary Society. Only last week, Miss Frankie Asselstine, president, Mrs. (Dr.) Mabee and Mrs. G. W. Lucas, representing the W.M.S. of the Odessa church, called at home of Miss Aylesworth and presented her with a life membership in the mis- slonary society of the Methodist church in Canada. About fifty years, Miss Aylesworth, who was first a member of Methodist Episcopal church, which had a church edifice in the west end of Odessa, was made a life member in the missionary so- ciety of that church. The two churches later united and made one thriving congregation in the village. The deceased was a descendant of the United Empire Loyalists. Her father was the son of the late Boen Aylesworth who was one of the orig- inal United Empire Loyalists who came over to Canada and took up residence. The late Miss Aylesworth had only been ill about two or three days and the news of her death came as a great shock to her many friends. John 8. Aylesworth, Selby, is the only surviving member of the family. The funeral will take place on Wednesday afternoon from the home of her nephew, B. G. Hamm, Odessa. The service will be conducted at the home, by Rev. Mr. Dixon, pastor of the Odessa church. The remains will be placed in the family plot in Violet cemetery. TOWN OF DESERONTO R.

SEE OUR DEMONSTRATION ALL THIS WEEK 1 JAMES REID Phone 147 for service, agency in Paris supplies The Old Town and The Olid Streets The old streets looks familiar As I wander back to-day To walk in sacred places When my young feet used to stray The buildings, old and crumbling, Were once modern in their time, To other eyes they're shabby, But they seem not so to mine. Somehow a faded glory, Almost holy, too it seems, Surrounds the little village Where I've dreamed my chjldish dreams! It's good to see the old place After wandering all these years, But why the lonesome feeling? And those softly falling tears? There sweeps o'er me a sadness That I cannot quite explain It leaves me vainly yearning For the good old days again. I watch the little children Romp and play and laugh and shout And 1 feel strangely aged With these younger ones about. Where are the dear old faces Of the folks I loved so well? Ah, long ago they've scattered Where or whence I cannot tell, Dry-eyed again I wander Through the wide world, up and down But when I die just take me To that little old home town. For I'm very sure the angels Have reserved a place for me, Knowing how much I ite It's my old home town, you see! are in very poor condition. School has re-opened with the same teach er.
