"I'm interested in this line for one thing," Ilollis' words ramc slowly, "and â€" my finan es don't run to big taxi bills." "What's your hurry to get to the next town, young fellow?" Ilollis settled himself again re- signedly and pushed an ant off his sore knee with a blade of grass. "I'm goi g to meet a man connect- ed with this bus line, andâ€"" l:c stuck out his chin and his voice was hard as nails, "tell him what's wrong with it." "Such as?"

I, it was an- nounced. The ann<ntncement said the non- profit health organiiration is intended lo bring the benefits of advanced mediail care to the people of Ontario on a group insurance liasis. It will be open to residents in all parts of the province. The charter granted by the On- tario Covernment provides that the " medical care organization will be directed by nine members of a board of governors, three of whom may be laymen. Dr. Melville C.

Dunn, Ottawa; Dr. -Milne Harvey, Kitchener; Dr. Maurice Kelly, Timmins; Dr H. D. Logan, Lindsay; Dr. A. D. Pollock, Owen Sound ; Dr. Lome Whittaker, St. Catharines; and Dr. John Oille, Toronto. It is intended that the health or- ganization work in close co-operation with the Plan for Hospital Care, which also was started on a group insurance plan and has enrolled about 800,000 members. A general manager has yet to be appointed for the project. "Costs w'ill be as low as we can make them," an ofhcial said. "Our tdtimate object is to give complete medical and surgical care at the low- est minimum cost." The Ontario Medical Association at its May meeting endorsed by more than 40 to one in a standing vote a proposal that it sponsor a plan of prepaid medical care. Australia Imports Canadian Herefords Malcolm McGregor of Brandon, Manitoba, has gained an enviable reputation as a breeder of fine Herefords. His herd Topper, Dy- nsmo Rupert, is proving a sire of unusual merit. Two of his get are rightfully famous. Dynamo Victor, shown by Col. R. M. (Bob) Smith, of Oshawa at the Royal Winter Fair last year, was Reserve Champion Hereford steer. Rupert Eugene was selected from all Canadian offerings by the Australian delegation to Can- ada to purchase foundation stock for export to Australia. He was chosen to head the herd of Dr. N. F. Leake, which is rated the leading Hereford herd "down sn- der." Mr. McGregor is planning to hold a sale of young stock on October 20 which should be an unusual opportunity for Canadian breeders. planes â€" it's the common people who need buses," Hollis finished out of breath. Another car came roaring over the hill. Hollis stood up and stuck his foot out a time or two to test it before he stepped toward the car. The driver slackened his speed and waved at the man on the fender as he went by. The fat man laugh e Hollis whirled on him with a while face. "Soâ€" it's funny, is it?" The big man looked at his wajch. "Guess you're the only one impa- tient to get where he's going." Ilollis watched with a grin of re- lief as the fat man in one easy motion si !fted his huge bulk lo a slaiiding po;:lii i and put Oiit his hand to open the door. "Get in," he motioned Ilollis to the other side. But Hollis stood transfi.xcd and felt even the bark of his neck get- ting red. For there on the door hidden by the man's body were the words: "J. R.

While lice arc not much of a prob- lem during summer months, when autumn comes they lay their eggs and multiply. When the eggs hatch and the larvae begin to feed cattle try to destroy them by rubbing against stanchions anad other stable supports. This results in un-siphlly hairless patches and breakini- of skin which affords an opporlinn'ly for in- fectious disea.se to enter. Lice usually first appear on the withers, neck and tailhcad. The dust should be rubbed into llie affected parts with a brush or by band until the area is thoroughly covered. Since the powder will not kill eggs, it is necessary to dust again in approxi- mately two weeks and a third time in another week. This should catch all species in their adult stage. An employer, interviewing an ai>' plicant, remarked: "You ask high wages for a man with no experi- ence." "Well," the prospect replied, "it'» so much harder work when you don't know anything about it."

One of the lads was able to fight his way safely back to the shallow water, but 7-year-old Bobbie Nestie was carried farther and farther away by the current. WOMAN HEARS CRIES Hearing the shouts of onlook- ers, Mrs. Maudsley, mother of two children, ran from her house to the river. By this time the boy had been swept almost 100 yards by the current. Mrs. Maudsley raced alone the sidewalk, climb- ed through a fence and then, disregarding the risk to herself, scrambled down the 60-degree- anglc cement embankment and leaped into the rapidly-flowing river. Witliin a few minutes she had reached the frantic young- ster and dragged him safely to shore.
