cited as the one which has shown the most improvement espec ially in its uniformly neat appearance the market position of canadian bacon as compared with foreign is different in that the imports of the latter are subject to official regula tions over siort periods before the policy of restriction became operat ive ery little of the canadian pro duct was offering but the supply from northern continental countries had been coming regularly for some years and had gradually been secur ing a fixed outlet with british buyers who with reasonable confidence bas ed on experience of its quality bought their weekly supplies regu larly knowing that each week te bacon would be available as the curtailment of foreign importations progressed placing the quota quan tities was relatively much easier than to find a satisfactory outlet for the increasing imports from canada bri tish habits change slowly and buy ers generally were disposed to lake first those brands of bacon they had been getting regularly in the past and to complete their requirements elsewhere as best they could it has not been an eacy task to develop the demand to keep pace with the rapid increase in the exports and

over the traces went to court and she shrugged her shoulders mary fytton is not an easy wo man to visualize and yet of all women this dark cold beauty who tore shakespeares heart in two is surely one of the most interesting but i should never have associated hcr with a remote almost unknown village in cheshire i am just home from a fascinat ing excursion into the unknown i went out with the idea of wander ing along that piece of the fosse way southwest of cirencester that is just a wide green track heading straight for bath i passed at pinkney a glorious gabled manor house that i was told was haunted in the seventeen hundreds two disinterested brothers came knock ing at the great door and when their heiress sister opened to them they stabbed her forthwith but she see ing their intentions made one last wild grab at the door to get back to safety too late her fingerprints covered with blood made so deep an impression that in spite of wash ing and repainting they still ap pear after two hundred years i entered the tall iron gates that led into cirencester park for the first three miles i had the forest smiling old lady curtsied past me and i came to two temples then to a clearing with a monument to queen anne and on the right a stone summer house with the words popes seat inscribed on it and a castellated house covered with ivy pope wrote most of his poems in the houses or

durbervilles place her hand and swear never to tempt him to dor chester where there is a vast roman amphitheatre known as maumbury rings where the roman gladiators held their games and it was while i was doing this walk that i dis covered the enormous earthworks known as maiden castle where there are ditches and ramparts 60 feet high and the outside tripl line of defences is nearly two miles round in places there are five or six of these ramparts overlapping and covering each other it is the most stupendous british earthwork in existence and covers 115 acres how it ever came to be built by men of the stone age is beyond our power of conjecture but it must have given even the romans pause to see how gifted in the art of defence were these barbaric is landers it is not necessary to hike far
