L Lebrun French President's Wife Gives Her First Interview To The Press. Washington--Mrs, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Mme. Albert Lebrun, wife of the President of France, had | tea together at the White House re- cently. Later Mrs. Roosevelt enter: tained for Mme. Lebrun at the last formal dinner of the season. Mme, Lebrun, accompanied by her two daughters, . arrived by train from New York and was greeted by the U. S. Secretary of State and Mrs. Cordell Hull. Delighted with the fast, smooth trip, Mme. Lebrun ask- ed to.gee the engineer to thank him. The engineer, William J. Sanford, a veteran of 30 years' railroading, came forward shyly, wiping greasy hands on his striped overalls. He bowed as he shook hands. - Mme, Lebrun wore a brown ensem- ble with an amber pendant at the throat. Her hat was of light brown straw, and she worg diamond ear- rings. After posing for photographers with the Secretary of State and Mrs. Hull and with Ambassador and Mrs. Andre Le Laboulaye of France, Mme, Lebrun was escorted to the White House to begin the round of social events. planned for her. GIVES FIRST INTERVIEW Openly wondering at a country where a President's wife may: talk to the press, Mme. Lebrun granted her first interview. She also did her first extended talking in English, with excellent hoice and grasp of words, and a de- "fightful French accent. "I am never interviewed /in France," she said. "It is not the fashion, In France I am nozzing of- ficial --I am nozzing but the wife of the President!" She sat on a divan at the French fire their. questions at her, Beside her sat Mme. Andre De Laboulaye, wife of the French Ambassador. NEW YORK CURIOUS "New York is- very curious," said blue-gowned Mme. Lebrun. "Wash- ington is very charming." "What do you mean by curious?" phe was asked. "It is like mozzing else!" was her apt answer. "All zoze buildings seem like minarets!" Why had she taken the Normandie trip? "Ah, it is my God-child," said 'she fondly. "I have only two God- children--a small baby Collette, who is a cousin--and a big ship!" No amount of questions would draw her into feminism or politics. Here's The Way To Civic Beauty Begin your civic beautification on Main Street, urges Ernest Elmo Cal- kins, dean of American advertising men, in the current Rotarian Mag- azine. Every visitor sees Mhin Street, but it often lags far behind the residential section, even in towns which are becoming beauty con- scious. "And why is it," he asks "that a "business man- who takes pride in the appearance of his home grounds does not apply the same phlosophy to his store, or shop, or office? It is far more essential in one way, for at- tractive business places draw trade." "Qf course, the first step toward making your town better looking," says Mr. Calkins, 'is to create a public opinion, a local self conscious- ness, a community pride which will soon seek justification. When a town advantages of beautifying itself, the programmé becomes definite. It is easy to create an ideal community when one starts from the ground up, towns we have, which have already grown without guidance, and the first problem is to undo, remove or|. hide eyesores, and emphatically . to establish a public spirit that will control all future developments along the best lines." Nobody Reads It Observes the Owen Sound Sun- Times. --Last wéek an Owen Sound business man wanted to see a copy of the Ontario Gazette, the . official publication issued by the Ontario Government. The Gazette is the paper in which all official notices such as tax sales, etc., are printed, the business man visited all the law offices in town in the belief that the lawyers would be sure to have a copy of the publication. He was unsuccessful in focating a single copy. Other official offices were visit- ® segired a copy. Very few coples 'are circulated and fewer still are read, The experience "ot this business man shows the worthlessness of this publication as a medium for official notices, The public. would be served much better if the daily and weekly newspaper were used for placing goV- ernment advertising, rather than keeping up an expensive pulilieation "leavings" when it comes: 'well Slim and Active i through a Daily Dose of Kruschen Salts - It is often said that fat] Kruschen girls must take the help the to choosing sweethearts. organs to That may be an exag- geration; but certain it is that most men, in this' year of "grace" 1935, do prefer a slender, winsome girl.

One can recall well en- ough walking through pasture land when it used to be dry and the grass fairly long. At every step it seemed there was a dozen or so grasshoppers rising, The lads going to school on the tenth concession used to catch grasshoppers for "the purpose of "making them spit," but apart for that there was no interest in them, Some folks in the lake districts ot tho north use them as bait for fish- ing, We talked with a gentleman the other day from Saskatchewan and he <ald the people in this province know nothing at all about grasshop- pers, Before going West he lived on a farm in Huron, Last season he sald when he walked" from his house to the barn he would possibly kill hun- dreds of them becauso they were so thick one could not help stepping on them. He drove his car only a little '| but had to have screens made for the windows and a special screen fitted over the front of the ¢ar to keep of air. The grasshoppers would attack and destroy nearly everything which was green and there was not a thing to stop the attack, He had poisoned millions of them he was certain, but other millions came along to take their places. They could devour more poison bait than he could supply, This gentleman who preferred not to have his name used was aked if there would be any cure by spread- ing poison bait from airplanes as was now being done in Alberta, He re- plied it would help, but his view was that Nature would attend to it, How? There will be some sort of an insect which will feed upon the eggs of the grasshopper. It generally works that way, he explained. When a pest comes there Is always something pro- vided to remedy the situation and re- store the balance, He informed us there were places in the West where already there were rellable reports of grasshopper eggs being eaten by some unknown insect, His conclud- ing remark was "I was born and brought up in Huron County, and lv- ed there until T was 32 years of age, and the truth is I never: knew any- thing about grasshoppers until the last few years in the West, Think of it -- they can utterly destroy all the crops on a farm and leave the farmer nothing but what may be growing underground, --Straford Beacon- Herald $9,312, 939 Saved On Low Dominion - Salaries Ottawa -- Government employes throughout Canada numbering 20,275, receiving salaries between $1,200 and $1,800 per year, contributed $9,312,- 089 to the federal 'treasury in the last three years as a result of the Civil Cervice Salary Deduation Act, according to a return tabled in the 'House of Commons recently, grasshoppers from clogging the flow TESTS DEVELOP WHEAT STRAINS Giimet Variety Is Much Iw "Demand Through West -- ---- Ottawa--Just as "Garnet wheat is about to be graded separately from other varieties of Canadian. wheat, its popularity both with growers and millers is increasing, officials of Dominion department of agriculture have been informed. Following a long controversy the Canada Grain Act was amended a year ago to provide for separate grades for Garnet and the new re- gulations come into effect this fall. There is much speculation as to the price Garnet wheat will command, but no doubt of -the popularity of this early-ripening, high-yielding wheat from the northern part of the prairie provinces. Western grain companies reported they could place 10 cars more of pure Garnet seed wheat than are available with Western farmers this spring. Part of. this demand is attributed to the government's crop-testing plan which! has now been in__ operation four years and is showing farmers the desirability of having wheat of a pure strain suited to local conditions in order too command the highest prices. : British millers also are showing an interest .in Garnet wheat, provided they can obtain it free from a mix- ture of other strains, It "requires special treatment and may be used in blending with other types of wheat to produce a satisfactory flour, The department will have more than 20,000 crop-testing stations in operation this year in conjunction with elevator companies. These oper- ate at practically no cost to the gov- ernment and have proved a tremend- ous success, : { Many Good Records Made By Shorthorns During the first four months of 1935, 163 Shorthorn cows have quali- fied in the Canadian Record of Per- formances. In the 366-day division," mature records average 9,649 pounds milks 390 pounds fat; 4-year-old, 8,125 lbs. milk, 328 lbs. fat; Seycar-old, 7,766 lbs. milk, 308 lbs, fat; and 3-year- old, 6,954 lbs. milk, 277 lbs. fat. The high mature record for the period was made by Northlynd Matchless 7th (George . Jackson & Son, Downsview), 15,6884 lbs. milk, 673 lbs. fat. Next to her comes White Blossom (M .J. Scobie, Os- goode Station), 14,012 lbs. milk, 529 lbs. fat. These are the two out-stand- ing records of the ycar to date, but the 3-year-old record of Northlynd Matchless 11th (Geo. Jackson & son), 13,007 lbs. milk, 510 lbs. fat, is worthy of special mention. The same owners qualified Northlynd Jean 14th with 9,230 lbs. milk, 337 1bs. fat, but Wild Rose (G. K. Allon- by, Keoma, Alberta), 8,965 lbs. milk, 366 1bs. fat, leads the 2-year-olds in fat production. In the 305-day division, mature re- cords average 8,455 lbs. milk, 336 lbs. fat; 4-year-old, 7,879 lbs. milk, 321 bs. fat; 3-year-old, 6,103 lbs. milk, 249 lbs. fat; and 2-year-old, 5,642 lbs. milk, 234 lbs. fat. The high milk record in this div- ision was made by Weldwood May Chieftain (William Weid Co., Lon- don), 11,794 lbs. milk, 418 Ibs. fat. In fat production, however, the lead is taken by Cossar Dairymaid (George C. Cossar, Lower Gagetown, N.B.), 11,130 lbs. milk, 464 lbs. fat. Horse Is Loved In Old England London--In 10 years there has been a decline of 67 per cent. in the num- ber of horses drawing trade vehicles in the United Kingdom, while horses used for agricultural purposes have decreased by 13 per cent., according to the Army Council's census, The total number of horses in the country has fallen by more than 600,000 in the decade. "This does not mean that in this country the horse is doomed to early extinction," says the Mews-Chronicle editorially. "The chief decrease is in draught animals, which are giving way everywhere to the =~ motor-van, But there is no falling off in riding horses and hunters over 16 hands, and the number of thoroughbreds has actually increased. In a mechani- ized age little room remains for draught horses. : "But the Englishman's traditional love of the horse triumphs over the machine. More people are riding horses than ever before, The riding school is becoming almost as much of a commonplace as the motor garage. We may cease to put horses between shafts. There is no reason why we snould ever surrender the joy of the saddle." ' "Qur experience is fixing us to fit in Heaven. -- Henry Ford. the! Farm Shorts According to the live stock survey as at December 1, 1934, the number of hens and chickens of farms in Canada was 46,487,250. ' Milch cows in Canada increased in numbers from 3,659,200 head of Dec- ember 1, 1933, to 3,847,400 of Dee- ember 1, 1934, or 5.1 per cent. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1936, 198,016 boxes; of about 14,925,120 pounds, of Canadian dress- ed. poultry were inspected for export and local and interprovinecial ship- ment under the supervision of the Live Stock Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture. This was an increase in shipments over the 1933-34 fisvar year of 73,331 boxes or about 5,133,170 pounds. As with other crops, thé surface soil of the rose bed should be kept loose by frequent shallow hoeing or raking.

Since it takes four or five years to breed, raise and de- velop a horse to marketable age, it wili be some time before 'he demand can be satisfied, therefore present prices may be expected to hold or even improve for a number of years. It would seem, therefore, that it would be a profitable venture for any farmer who has a reasonably good draft brood mare, that he can spare from heavy work, to breed her and raise a foal.

On April 15th Last, 10,320, 000 Insured Persons Be- fween 14 and 64 Years of Age Regularly In Employ- ment. LONDON,--Latest official returns on the increase of employment antéiy: workers belonging to what is known as the "insurable category" offers heartening support of the Rt. Hon. Nevillg Chamberlain's Budget declar- ation that Britain has regained 80 per cent. of her oldtime prosperity, -and strengthens the feeling of op- timism that is steadily spreading throughout the country, writes J, EE. Poole, Montreal Star Resident Cor- respondent. Report of the Ministry of Labor states that it is estimated that on April 15th there were approximately 10,320,000 insured persons between the ages of 14 years and 64 years in employment, the highest figure re- corded during the period of 14 years for which comparable figures are available, It shows, morover, that of the 2,.- 044,460 workers registered as unem- ployed at the date mentioned, out of the 1,729,024 individuals on the regis- ter who applied for benefit or unem- ployment allowances about 51 per cent had been idle less than three months; others less than six months, and only 22 per cent had been with- out work for a year, In other words the so-called "hard core" of unem- ployed numbers in reality something in the neighborhood of 790,000 indi- viduals. Again, of these, it Is usually estimated there is an employable class of between 300,000 and 450,000 people. In order to obtain a better picture of conditions here it is necessary to refer to that other numerous cate- gory of workers, thoso who do not come within tho scope of the unem- ployment measure, While, as far as I can ascertain, there are no statist- ics dealing with these people as a definite classification, the 1931 census offers basie figures from which to work, In 1931 the census showed that there wero slightly more than 21,. 000,000 people in Britain "gainfully occupied" as the official report quaint. ly puls it--viz,, employed for wages or similar consideration--and of these some 8,500,000 were not memberty of the insurable class of workers that Is more than 50 per cent of the work- ers are not covered in the statistics fssued by the Ministry of l.ahor. INCREASED BY 160,000 Since the 1931 census the ranks of the insurables has been increased by 190,000 workers and, it Is reasonable to assume that the numbers of non- insurables has increased in the same ratig. say by 95,000, If, as I have ~----y MORE PEOPLE AT WORK IN BRITAIN THAN EVER BEFORE been as.ured in relfable quarters, the non-insurable workers have been ab- sorbed into industry at much the same ratio as the insurables, it is not unduly optimistic to assume thy the number of aciual workers 0- deemed from idleness is even preater than the 10,320,000 record announced by the Ministry in this week's slates RCNL eg co . There is, in addition, ano der tea- ture of the situation, waich my make for betterment in the imme ii- ate future, though causing sone une casiness in perspective, and that is, the decline-in-the-naticnal bh rin. te.
