To quote Mr. Fletcher, "This remarkâ€" able increase in our business is attriâ€" buted to the introductitn last February cf the Special Dictator series, a line of Studebaker automobiles listing at less than $1,000 at the factory, and to the intensive advertising exploitation which has been put behind these cars. . A further reason for this improvement is found in the fact that the remainder of the Studebaker line, the Deluxe Dicâ€" tator Six, theâ€" Commandsr Eight and the President Eight, is priced below last year‘s mcdels and at the same time In the early part of February, shortâ€" ly after the big metropolitan motor shows in Canada and the States, the Studebaker officials foresaw a huge shortage of cars in the early spring. Plans were immediately laid for greatâ€" ly increased production and large comâ€" mitments were released to all suppliers. The Studebaker plant has been going at top speed since that time, but desâ€" pite these early preparations it has still failed to catch up with the large bank of orders now on file.

In the course of his remarks Mr. Thomson stated the Domfnion Goverf[nment Commission had in view the installation of a 1000 watt station in the Sudbury area. The stations along the T. N. O. are 100 watt outfits." In reporting the regular weekly lunâ€" cheon of the New Liskeard Kiwanis Club last week, The New Liskeard Speaker tells of a very interesting and instructive address given by T. G. Walâ€" ler, of the Toronto Genral Trusts Corâ€" poration in reference to the matte: of making wills The Speaker then continues :â€" "Mr. Thomson, North Bay, who is interested in the radio stations recentâ€" ly installed at Timmins and Kirkland Lake, was lalso present, and srhke briefly on the radio situation in the North, concluding his remarks by staâ€" ting that another station would be placed in Haileybury or New Liskeard, the latter town being likely to get the call. Clear reception from Such reports as these, indicating a very decided upâ€"turn in business throughout the world generally, are definitely gratifying to everyone interâ€" ested in Canadian business. It is hopâ€" ed that the business improvement reâ€" ported by the Studebaker Corporation of Canada, Limited, may be simllarly prevalent throughout the Dominion. The export business of the Studebakâ€" er Corporation shows a similar imâ€" provement. Passenger car exports have recently ‘been more than 200 per cent. greater than the similar month of 1933. Car shipments for export in the last quarter of 1933 (the first three months Oof the new 1934 models) were the largâ€" est since 1929â€"a fiveâ€"year record.

We have every reason to believe that Canadian commerce is deâ€" finitely on the upâ€"grade, and we feel that our product, backed up by sound merchandising plans, will enable us to be among the first to feel the effects of the strong recovery trend." - "The last few years have brought drastic revisicns in public buying methods. The great majority of people are no longer fooled by superficial apâ€" pearance. â€" They are extremely cauâ€" tious about parting with the dolar and are Icoking keenly for value and qualiâ€" ty in their anticipated purchase." retains all of Studebaker‘s characterâ€" istic qualities."‘ coloured about the size of a small egg; one is an acrobatic bird of varied hue which â€"daintily holds its food in one claw while pecking away with saucy motions of the head and usually hangâ€" ing upside down or sat an alarming arngle from its perch; another is a haughty multiâ€"coloured lord of the air with a curved beak about eight i11ches long, as compared ‘with its own height of about six inches. Some strange specimens of nature‘s handiwork in bird life reached Canada wheh the Canadian National liner "Lady Nelson" arrived here recently from the British West Indies. They arrived with C. A. Carneil, constructio: engineer, Montreal, Que., who mainâ€" tains a bird sanctuary â€"on the cutskirts cf that city. Mr. Carneil intends to make a test to see if the strange orniâ€" thological exhibits of the tropics will acc.matize themselves. Four species of the exotic bird life of the tropics are represented and there are ten birds in all. Four are of bright green plumage about the size of a hungry seagull pouncing on it and swallowing it. With a great deal of difficulty he drew the fish and its wouldâ€"be captor to his boat. There ancther struggle ensued, the bird flapâ€" ping wildly about as he tried to release it from the hook. When the gull was finally freed, it flew away, none the worse for being hooked on the wing. Pigs are born 112 days after the sow is bred. Be sure to put the sow in the place where she is to farrow a week or 10 days before farrowing time so she will get accustomed to the place. Have a guard or fender around the farrowâ€" ing pen to keep the sow from lying on or squeezing the pigs. The pen should be not less than six by eight feet. A pen in a regular hog house, an individâ€" ual portable hogâ€"cabin or a stall in a horse stable is suitable, providing the place is clean, dry, safe, comfortable and warm. FISHERMAN CATCHES FISH AND BIRD ON THE SAME HOOK Killing two birds with one stone is tame sport compared to catching a bird and a fish on the same hook, according to a Canadian National Steamships officer who tells how Walter Johnson, Bermuda fisherman hooked a mullet, STRANGE BIRDS FROM THE TROPICS REACH CANADA The sows should be in good condiâ€"= tion, strong and healthy. Give them a chance to exercise before farrowing and the kind of feed that makes bones, muscles and blood. The kind of grain we feed is not so important if we have good pasture or some clover hay and rcots in the winter. We should feed grain that we can raise ourselves, and a gallon of milk fed to the sow everyâ€" day will take the place of tankage and make her healthy and strong. For horse cultivaticn the rows should be 30 to 36 inches apart and for hand cultivation 18 inches apart with the plants 4 to 6 inches apart in the rows. One ounce of seed w.ll sow 100 feet of row and the use of the seed ‘drill is advised as it distributes the seed more evenly than is ordinarily possible by hand.s The harvesting Of the crops starts when the plants have about six leaves. The top root is cut just below the lower leaves and trimming done to remove dead leaves, etc. A Few Facts About Sows We want our brood sows to raise as many good pigs as they canâ€"that is what we keep them for. No matter how much good feed we give the pigs, no matter how well sheltered and free from disease they are, they will not do the best job of making feed into pork unless they have the right kind of breeding. There might sometimes be an excuse for using a common sow for a ‘breeder if we already have her and cannot get a better one, but there is rarely a good excuse for using an inâ€" ferior sire. Spinach may be sown as early in the spring as it is possible to prepare the ground. It is usually sown at the Kaâ€" puskasing Experimental Station during thr second and third week in May. Two or three successive plantings may be made at intervals of one week until the approach Oof very hot summer weather, which will give a steady supâ€" ply of fresh greens. Bloomsdale, Vi¢â€" toria and Broad Flanders are desirâ€" able varieties. The first named should not be used for late sowings because it shoots to seed readily in hot weather. Spinach Spinach is by far the most popular of the grsens. It is a reasonably hardy, cool weather plant, and can be grown in most locations from early spring to late fall. Spinach will grow on almost any type of wellâ€"drained fertile soil where sufficient moisture is available. If possiole a rich friable loam w.th an abundance of organic matter should be used. The home gardener will find spinach adapted to his land whether it be heavy clay or peat so long as it ist wellâ€"drained and rich. A pound of rotted manure to each square foot and 3 to 4 pounds of commercial fertilizer to each 100 sqwuare feet of land is sugâ€" gested as suitable rates of application for spinach in the home garden. The manure should be e:ther ploughed or spaded in the preceeding fall and the fertilizer should be broadcasted ana harrowed or racked in before sowing the seed.

Certainly there is no deâ€" pression for him, but, if there is, what are his profits in an ordinary way? Renfrew â€" Mercury:â€"An unnamed Chicago citizen will this year pay an income tax of $1,593,633. Everybody will be wondering what is the nature of his business. Peradventure he is operating a sweeps‘ake. It. may be that after the dropping of the 13th amendment he owns a chain of disâ€" station came later and was given the name of Yorkston by the railroad and is the express address. Mistakes have occurred, due to companies making exâ€" press shipments and not noting postâ€" office address, and also by postal clerks. It is Yorkston, Sask.. but Yorkston, Ont., reverting to the originâ€" al ‘Scotty‘ Yorkston." "From George A. Melville, Well known citizen of Scotty Springs, come some interesting facts concerning the origin of the name of that little hamâ€" let in Benoit township. "The name Scotty Springs," writes Mr. Melville, "was given to the locality as far back as 1906. According to the best inâ€" formation Scotty Springs was named after "Scotty‘" Yorkston, who was emâ€" ployed in the construction of the railâ€" way. He was usually to be found at the springâ€"a clear spring of water bubbling from the ground, always a ecol spot in summer and not known to freeze in winter. It is located between the present station and section house. In 1920 I located here, and due to the courtesy of R. S. Potter it was arranged that my mail be thrown off at the secâ€" tion house. I also wrote to the postal authorities at Ottawa with the result that my mail was addressed to Scotty Springsâ€"between Bourkes and ~Raâ€" more. In 1922 application for postofâ€" fice was granted to T. Derosiers and Last week the "Roving Reporter" of The Northern News had an interesting item about the origin of the name "Scotty Springs." This item says that Scectty Springs was so named in honâ€" our of "Scotty‘" Yorkston sone of the men who helped to build the railway. This ‘being so, might well be dropped and the "Scotty‘"‘ retained, for in this country it is practically certain that everybo@@y would know "Sceotty," while any reference to "Mr. Yorkston" would likely bring the reâ€" ply:â€" "Yorkston? Yorkston? Oh, yes, you mean Scotty!" The item by the "Roving Reporter" reads as follows:â€" No doubt there are a few people who think Yorkston a more dignified name than Scotty‘s Springs. Conveâ€" nience, however, is more than dignity. In any case there is nothing undigniâ€" fied about "Scotty‘s Springs." Indeed, it has a homely, picturesque, honest sound ‘that should be attractive to all who are more concerned about the distinctive than the formal and the common. Some weeks ago The Advance had a reference to the naming of "Scotty Springs," the lively little settlement betwesn Bourkes and Ramore on the T. N. O. line. "Scsotty Springs apâ€" ears in the hostel guide as that is the off:cial name of the post offize, but it does not appear on the time tables, being known as Yorkston station. Its express address is also Yorkston. The place is hardly big enough to carry two names, and there is no doubt conâ€" siderable confusion through "Scotty Springs‘‘" being ‘Yorkston" when it comes to express matters and "Scotty Springs‘"‘ when it‘s a question of mail. The people of the community apparâ€" ently prefer "Scotty Springs‘". When appeals have been made to the authorâ€" it‘es against the double naming of the community, it is understood that the post office authorities take the proper view that the post office name can not be officially changed to Yorkston, as there is a Yorkston in Saskatcheâ€" wan, and the endeavour of the departâ€" ment is to avoid duplication of post office names in Canada so far as this may be poss:ble:.

It was the terrible cries of the children that echoâ€" ed through the bush that led Josepha Tremblay to the rescue of his young sister and the Duguay children. The children‘s stockings were torn and worn into holes in the knees from the rough crust and wet snow that was falling. The children heard the barks of the dogs but could not tell from what direction..© Bernadetts Duguay had taken off her shoes on account of being so cold and wet. Little Irene Duguay was still carrying her school books in the bag and also carried Marâ€" :on‘s school bag which Marian had let go in her hurry to reach the trail. Darkness was setting in, and also the big flakes of snow of Monday night began to fall, The children became excited and terrified. The leader said "follow .me,‘" and they then went off all roads into the deep snow in the heavy bush just outside the opening. The snow being three feet deep, the children kept on. In spots the crust would hold them up, and then they would sink in the snow only to crawl out on their hands and knees to go a short distance and rest. The stories of the chniidren were told Tuesday whil> they lay in their beds with. swollen and feet wrapped in bandages, resulting from their exâ€" posure to cold weather and wet snow. It was Mar.an that knew the short cut. She had heard her brothers talk about a trail not far away and on they walkâ€" ed expecting to find the trail leading off one of the snow roads. Walking along the road leisurely, chatting childâ€" like they had not noticed the trail which they had set out to find; they had passed it by. On they travelled, picking spruce gum from the trges unâ€" til they came to an opening in the bush which had many roads and trails, having recently been cut and the wood drawn out. It was here the children realized that they had become lost. It was not unt.l six o‘clock in the evening when their parents became alarmed at them not returning home. that the news spread of their disapâ€" pearance. Search parties immediately set out to find the children. Some of the men used skiis and snowshoes; also four teams set out on the many snow roads, which have been used this winâ€" ter hauling out wood to Drinkwater Pit siding. It was not until a lttle after 8 pm. that Josepha Tremblay came on to the children, exhausted, tired out and scratched. The enforcing of an order of "No Trespassing" on the railroad right-ofâ€"way induced the children to find an easy way home. Dugwal, Ont., April 12th, 1934. Speâ€" cial to The Advance. A very near tragedy cccurred at Dugâ€" wal on Monday of this week when three school children, Bernadette Duguay, ageod 11, Marian Tremblay, aged 11, and Irene Duguay, aged 9, after school beâ€" ing ended for the day, decided they would take a short cut to their homes, and became lost in the bush. Last week The Advance made brief reference to three children who were lost for some hsurs near Dugwal and who suffered much from cold, exposure and anxiety before they were found. Search parties worked for hours to locate the children in the country near Dugwal, different routes being taken by the several search parties so that the whole country might be thoroughâ€" ly searched in the shortest possible time and the youngsters rescued. A friend of The Advance sent the followâ€" ing account of the search and this reâ€" port will be of general interest to readâ€" ers, giving as it does a clear and strikâ€" ing picture of the matter:â€" Youngsters Trying to Take a Short Cut Home from.

The search parties, consisting of the fathers, brothers and settlers, set out on different roads to try to locate footprints of the children, but being handicapped by the snow that began to fall, they had to keep going because darkness was setting in. At times they would stop and shout to attract the children, but this proved of no avail until about two hours after the scarch started. Then they had reâ€" sults.
