New High Reached In British Trade The Annual Review, published by * the London Times, this week justifies everything that has heretofore been sald about the economic recovery lately achieved by the Mother Coun. try. The year 1935, recorded steady progress in her export trade, which has grown uninterruptedly for the past three years--that is to say, since the signing of the Ottawa trade trea- tles at the conference summoned by the Bennett Government late in 1932, Expansion in trade between Great Britain and the rest of the Empire continues to be accelerated. The Times says: : "The automobile industry, now the third largest manufacturing industry in Great Britain claims to have out. distanced all rivals in a year of ris- ing prosperity, For British aircraft manufacture 1935 was even better than 1929. But, because of its pre- dominant importance, progress in the iron and steel trade- was more remarkable. Steel production reached an unprecedented total; the output of iron and steel together surpassed that of 1932 by 80 per cent. Both wool and rayon had a good experience, and the only major industries to lag be- hind were coal, cotton, shipping and ship building." According to the same newspaper the economic advance was more de- elsive in Great Britain and through- out the Empire than in any previous year since the National Govefnment came into office in 1931. Bank de- posits and note circulation rose to the highest figure on record, the vol. ume of new Capital issues expanded tor the folirth year in succession, and profits of {industry increased about 16 per cent, stock exchange business was very active, especially in the shares of industrial concerns, and almost the last of the frozen credits were thawed, thanks to the wide- WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE-- liver should out two pounds of Re Ee AU Ww y y at in ti Bowel.

' + oe In the death of Rudyard Kipliwez the Boy Scouts lost not only a strong supporter and friend, but one wha had contributed very importantly to the founding of the junior branch of the Movement, the Wolf Cubs, When seeking a foundation plan for the projected junior Scouts, Baden-Pow- cll found it in Kipling's "Jungle Books,"--in the story of Mowgli, the boy-wolf cub, and the laws of the Jungle animals. This was the origin of the Wolf Cub promise, "The Cub gives in to the Old Wolf; the Cub does not give in to himself." The first Wolf Cub. Handbook was ded cated by the Chief Scout to Mr. Kipling, and at large Scout gatherings the great writer aiways showed particu- lar interest in the doings of the H"Cubs." He was a member of the Scout Council from 1923 to the time of his death. New George V Silver Dollar Will - Be Issued In Canada A new silver dollar, the last to bear the portrait of King George V, will be in circulation soon. Inquiry at the state department last week elicited the information that the necessary proclamation will appear in the near futwre. The machinery of the Royal Canadian Ming will then proceed to turn out the new coin, Canada's last struck specifically to celebrate the Jubilee of the late king. The new coin will be issued to supply the gen- eral demand for silver dollars. As arrangements were made for its is- silver dollar was suance some little time ago, and as | King George was alive in 1936, the| --. year of its issue, the new dollar will bear his portrait and not that of the presen King, Coins issued after the close of this year, however, must bear the portrait of King VIII. When coins bearing the portrait of the present king ive struck the head will be facing right and not left as is the head of the late King. That is the custom. On the coinage the Monavceh's head always faces the op- posite direction to that of his prede- cessor, In this way they are always facing each other. The head of Queen Victoria faced King Edward VII right, that of King George Vo left, and, when it appears on Canadian coins, that of King Ed- ward VIL will face yieht, Stranger -- You say that tough lcoking man over there is the man who put this town on the map?

Pigs In Cover The winter care of pigs causes no anxiety to the farmer who has adopt- cabin. These portable cabins are useful for 365 days in the year and are efficient and economical. They are cool in summer and provide adequate shelter in winter. Built of rough lumber with securely fastened sides and hinged sections, each cabin has room enough for four or five brood sows, and breeding stock of all ages will thrive in the semi-outdoor life, for the cabins on the advent of winter can be moved to fresh: ground or to wherever convenient, Hogs fed in cabins will rarely become crippled, but for this class of stock an open shed with a low, straw-covered sleep- ing berth is better, Both types of cabins are fully described in the "All- year Hog Cabin" pamphlet issued by -the Dominion Department of Agri- culture. The average piggery is dif- ficult to ventilate and therefore damp. Dampness, impur& air, Tack of exercise, and over-feeding make a combination that will soon discourage the hog-feeder and relieve him of his stock. Not so with the all-year hog cabin. .

Kirkpatrick the former in the Department of Law and the latter in that of Classics, A Manr's Triumph Some five million persons danced recently in the United States at benefit functions of a unique kind. There were the more modest affairs; there were lavish and glittering dis- plays in New York's palatial hotels; there were inexpensive tickets and there were costly ones. But it was all for the same cause and occasion --the fight against infantile paraly- sis in celebration of President Roose- velt's fifty-fourth birthday. It is sometimes forgotten, in the present political - storm centering around the President of the United States, the alleged collapse of the N:R.A,, the veterans' bonus contro- versy and the supreme court's re- jection of some of the most import- ant legislation, that here at least was a man who made one of the bravest personal fights in history. Condemned to the life of a crip- ple, Roosevelt set his course to over- come a handicap which would have dismayed the average man, Left almost helpless by infantile paraly- sis, he might have written finis, at a comparatively early age, to a career now made illustrious to many millions, It is to be wondered if Mr. Roose- velt on that Thursday night did not look back over those years of his battle to overcome a dread ailment, remembering the fears and struggles in his inner soul, and feel that his final conquest was a greater achieve- ment than the attainment of the highest post in the richest nation of the world. It was a fitting celebra- tion of his birthday that his own triumph should help to alleviate the sufferings of many others in his country.--Hamilton Spectator.

ABOUT DANISH Editor's Note: This is the fifth of a series of art'cles which were pub- lished recently in the Harriston "Re. view." While written specially for the "Review" and addressed to res'- dents of Minto Township particu- larly, we helieve they will be found interesting to many of the readers of this paper because the problems of the farm folk of Minto Township are the same problems that confront rural peop'e throughoui the province. In my previous article 1 introduced you to the Danish Folk High School Let me tell you alittle more of the Small Holders' Folk High School on Funen Island. A Small Holder is a farmer working from about 10 to 17 acres. A 1H-acre Small Holder will keep six cows. The school does not confine its in- structional service to the unmarried young farmers and farm women in 5- month courses, They hold several one-week and two-week courses for married couples as well, and accom- odate them is a beautiful Community House built for them on the grounds. Education even permeates holiday honeymooning for Danish IFarm Folk. Many of these Folk High Schools are open in the summer also to City Folk for recreation and instruction. Num- erous one-day excursionists and pie- nickers too, visit the school during the summer season, There is an attract- ive museum on the grounds contain- ing all sorts of interesting objects pertaining to old-time farm life and far-off Viking days. The Danes. do not allow their inhevited and folk lore to.he forgotten. Their agriculture is deeply imbedded in the wholesome and inspiring feelings of the past . Nor dees the Funen School confine its services to those who come to it. The teachers take a leading part in the numerous reading and lecture cireles that abound throughout rural Denmark, No wonder the influence of these schools is great. They are part of the very life of the people. It is a veritable community centre and university for the small holding far. mers of Funen, No wonder they are unitedly and co-operatively in big business for themselves. No wonder they are adequately and efficiently represented in Parliament. No wond- er they are able to make 15-acre farming pay. For they have a school to lead them. The Small Holders of Denmark have three other Folk High Schools serving them in the same way as this one, The Danes set a high value on the young people going away from home to learn about life amongst strangers. 7%, SCRAMBLED SENTENCE CONTEST thing The Most Unique Profit-Sharing Contest in History THERE ARE THREE SENTENCES IN THE FOLLOWING GROUP OF WORDS, FIND THESE SENTENCES, THEN WRITE THEM gi CORRECTLY, AND LEGIBLY.

McCready) Ea JES a at J 2 oo *o All the Folk High Schools ave what we call boarding schools, With us that term is associated with a high. costing private school for the children of privileged rich people where the charges may amount to #500 or more a year. In Denmark ovdinavy and poor folk may enjoy hoarding school priv- ileges. At the Funen school the cost of board, lodging and instruction is about $15.00 per month, So that for less than $100.00 a young man or wo- man can have: an entive Winter or Summer term in one of the very best sort of residential schools in fhe world. And no one is barred. Tor if the family budget won't suftice the state and municipality finds up to 50 per cent of the expense in a scho- ldrship. One wonders how these schools varry on their work, so cheap- ly. For the fare is good and gener ous, the lodging homelike and the instruction from experienced and in- | Infant Wortality spiring teachers. There are several features that ex- plain how the school carries on its splendid work so economically, First, the farm, gardens. and orchards are managed on a practical and paying basis. Besides they provide the seheol at eost price, with its kitchen supplies. Second, the teachers of the agricultural subjects are part time in- structors who are making proposition of poultry keeping, keeping, cattle breeding, ete. either | on a piece of land rented from the * . school or on a nearby farm which they own, Théy have all the profits of their undertaking or they bear all the loss. And the school has a cheap and practical demonstration for pupils and capable instructors who do not need top pay attention to salaries. Besides the school serves as a breed. ing centre for improved pigs, cows, poultry and grain. Just imagine the advantage such an insfitution might be for the farmers of Minto Town- ship! The most remarkable sonvee of in- come from a Canadian view point is the grant from the Department Education, Though practically free from any sort of departmental con. trol or supervision, this Funen 1'olk High School receives generous grants from the state and county amounting to $2,000.00, In addition theve is pro. bably as much derived from the scho. larships provided for the deserving -- O'LEARY MALARTIC .
