Wednesday, November. I, 1922 Lord Magheramorne, who was better known as Sir James M'Garel Hogg, Went to' dine at the home of an old friend, where, he announced himself to'geames as "Lord Magheramorne." 1'What?" said the startled domestic, who knew him under 'his former title. _. "Lord Magheramorne,” said he, with emphasis. Shortly after being made a peer, In honor of Santos Dumont, famous Brazilian flier, a monument was erected at Rio de Janeiro with imposing ceremonies marking the laying ot the cornerstone. cPieture shows President‘ 'de Almeida ot Portugal in his car acknowledging the plaudits ot the throngs lining the avenida as the procession bagged through to‘th’é‘sife of the monu- ment. t Jeameg shook hit head. He despair; ed of attempting to render the un- couth guttergls. ”What was he to do? The visitor was advancing to the drawing-romp. V i Jeames hesitated a moment, then boldly flung open the door and pro- claimed, “The late Sir James Hogg'." INDEPENDENT ADS PAY ONTARIO FRUIT IN THE WEST Letters received from 'western fruit dealers regarding the prdspeet ot trade for Ontario fruits on the west- ern market all point to greater care in packing and grading of fruits. The residents of the west are evidently in a position when they can demand the best, and the Ontario fruit, improper. 1y packed and poorly. graded, has no sale on that market. . Another letter in regard" to the situation has ben received from K. J. Johnson, a prominent fruit dealer in Winnipeg, whose remarks are very timely and would be well worth the careful perusal of the fruit growers of the district: Dear Sir,--As a commission broker ot twenty tive years experience in the wholesale fruit and vegetable bus-i- ness of Winnipeg, I otter my opinion on shipments of small fruits from On- tario. The general pack of these fruits has been in such poor condi- tion on arrival tor many years that some dealers. have discontinued handling them altogether. If proper care was given as to packages, using boxes instead of baskets and only packing fruit in proper Conditon the returns would more than cover the extra cost. This market can handle the following fruit from Your district: Sour cherries in 6 qt. baskets. Plums in 6 qt. baskets. Grapes in 6 qt. baskets. Sunimer apples in boxes. _ Tomytoes,.6 qt. and 11 qt. baskets. All should be shipped on the green side. They will ripen in transit or after arrival. . Tomatoes best per express, con- ditions turning ripe on arrival. No ice required as we import tomatoes from Florida in ventilated cars very satistactorily,‘ but stock should be clean and sound, no cracks or scabs. Grapes should beat least twelve baskets to the 100 pounds. Many cars arrived this year weighing I do not think you get best results by selling at auction on this market, as it antagonizes the jobbers, nor do I think you should eontine.your ship- ments or sales to one firm. Rather give your quotations to a reliable broker that calls on the jobbers daily and can sell one or. more cars to each as they require them. They will buy t.o.b. price and accept on arrival it as Grapes should be, at least t1 baskets to the 100 pounds. I cars arrived this year wei: twelve baskets to eighty pounds. represented Friday-Well Pug Stevens finely got hissen today a playing futball.

Every demonstraion held so far has shown that the tractor cannot be used with advantage in very muddy or boggy land now sown with paddy, so that the employment of the tractor on them need not be considered. On the other hand, every demonstration his shown indisputably that the modern tractor could be used with ad- vantage on fairly low or high land, although labor is cheap there com- pared with America, Europe and Australia. At Kurunegala, a short time ago, motor and ordinary ploughing was done side by side under the super- vision of the Director of Agriculture and some well-known planters of! the island. It was found that, leaving an annual depreciation ot 20 per cent. on capital invested in the tractor, ploughing and harrowing could be done cheaper and better with motor power. than with the bullock.
