Some of the Lillies that Do Well in the Northland Regale Lily the Greatest Recent Acquisition Among Hardy Lilies. True to Type and Easy to Cultivate. Some Other Lilies Suitable for the North. The greatest meent acquisition among hardy lilies is the Regale Lily. The Regale Lily i~ said by some writers tn grow to a heitht of s‘ix feet when well established,. but from® observation it has ben found to seldom reach a greater height than three feet. It blooms in early July and may be easily grown from seed;, seedlin‘s come true to type. The Regale Lily is of the easiest culture and entirely hardy in Northern but it is more or less susceptible to damage by severe late spring frosis after growth has appCarâ€" ed above ground. The best protection against such injury is to avoid warm or sunny locations which would tond to hasten early spring activity. It is also advisable to plant these bulbs where they will not be exposed to the early morning sun, as it is known that frost injury is much more serious if the sun strikes the foliage before the hoar frost on the plant has been melted off, or washed off with a hose. The flowers of the Rogale Lily are large and â€" fragrant, funnelâ€"shaped, pure white with a carmine blush on the outâ€" side of the petals, clear canary yellow within the tube; they are usually carâ€" ried in a horizontal position. The stems are slender and carry from three blooms to twelve, althou:h larger numâ€" bers are Cclaimed for it. The Regale Lily is a native of the mountainous districts of Northern China, where the winters are no less rigorous than here. Lillium Henry. is aso a hardy and dependable plant, blooming in August and September. The flowers are of graceful and attractive form. The plant attains a heights of from four to s1ix feet and bears up to twenty orangeâ€" yellow flowers., RAOGE (Contributed by Timmins Horticultural Bociety) The greatest meent acquisition among hardy lilies is the Regale Lily. ‘The Regale Lily i~ said by some writers to grow to a heitht of s‘ix feet when well established. but from" observation it has been found to seldom reach a greater height than three feet. It blooms in early July and may be easily grown from seed;, seedlin‘s come true to type. The Regale Lily is of the easiest culture and entirely hardy in Northern but it is more or less eucrentihnle tn Aamage by severe late Lillium Canadense, while not, perâ€" haps, so showy as some other species, is unique in that it is one of the very few Lilies not of foreign origin. It has broad, bellâ€"shaped flowers, looking upwards, which vary in colour from yellow to orange, with brownish spots on the petals. Lillium Canadense, or Canadian Lily, is a native of Canada (Continued from Page One) compared to the same period in 1938. Last year at this time one per cent of the population was on relief. This year five per cent is taking relief. Up until the end of July last year relief expenditure was $31,800, said Mr. Horton.. Taking an estimate up until the end of July and providing for the same increase relief figures now show it would be $80,000 at the end of this month. Deputy Relief Minister Disbands Committee Up until the end of May in 1938 reâ€" lief expendityre was $27,312, said the speaker. This year at the end of May the total expenditure had risen to $54,â€" 008â€"an increase of 97 per cent. ”’I‘he increase in the per capita cost had risen from $5.82 in 1938 to $6.98 m 1939. | [ <! w Increase in per capita cost this year as compared to last was 30 cents in Febâ€" ruary, $1.13 in March, 70 cents in April and a decrease of seven cents in ®lay. The items of food seemed to be mainâ€" ly responsible for the increase. PFue) costs ran about the same as in 1938 clothing was about the same; sheltet costs were slightly higher but were levelling off. e Total expenditure last year was $79,â€" 000, said Mr. Horton. This year to the end of July it would be about $80,000. "I will venture to say that if the same increase in expenditure continues you will spend $122,000 this year on reliefâ€" an increase of $42,000 over last year" ne pointed out, "I appreciate the fact that conditions in Northern Ontario have not been so good this year and that there may have been only sporadic bursts of activity and I appreciate the fact that bush work has fallen off badly but this situâ€" ation has been developing over a period of two o three years and something is going to be done about it," said the minister. "If you won‘t do something we will, If you continue at your present trend I don‘t know whether or not the town can afford to pay out of its budget" handled by him,. The council, if It so desired, could meet once month or whenever it desired to do so, and act as a final board of appeal. Mayor Bartleman objected on the grounds that it put policy and adminâ€" istration entirely in the hands of the relief officer. "That policy works not too far from Timmins," said Mr. Horton. He believed the relief department should be put on its own feet. Then, if it failed, the Council would know where to put the responsibility and could make some radical changes. Mayor Bartleman and the other memâ€" ~Fegale 15 e and ontirely I but it is mor _ damage by se after growth has ind.

It is lant these bulbs be exposed to the and has been long in cultivation. The | Tiger Lily is too well known to need a detailed description. It does well in all soi‘s and under most conditions. They are showy and attractive Lilies, with rich orangeâ€"coloured petals, black, and multiply rapidly. Moct Lilies require a well drained, porous soil, never too wet and never too dry. They prefer cool situations or, at least, protection from extreme heat.! Many of them thrive in partial shade and all of them are better from being grown among low plants that shade the ground and lower portions of the Lny. stems. All Lilies take a little time to beccme fully established and do not :‘ reach their best for a year or two after 4 being planted. Thry should be disâ€" tutbed as infrequently as possible and' if the situation is favourable they will improve annually. On light soils sumâ€" mer mulching proves very satisfactory. This keeps the ground cool and uniform in temperature and preserves moisture, To help preserve moisture use peat moss, which can be obtained in cedar swamps or brought from garden supply merchants. bers of Council gradually swung to the idea of eliminating Council interferâ€" ence altogether. They favoured the idea of giving Mr. Martin sole control of the department and the sole right to be the final court of appeal in disputed cases. All of the Lilies so far mentioned can be safely planted in the fall, They should be covered with at least six inches of soil and deeper planting may be practiced to advantage. Very dcep planting delays the appearance above cround of spring growth and is therâ€" by a protection against late frosts. Deep planting also lessens the dangers of damage when the ground is forked over. In deep, wellâ€"drained soils many Lilies will thrive at a depth of twelve inches. Protection from surplus moisâ€" ture can be given by surrounding the bulb when planting with coarse sand. An interesting fact is that Lilies establish themselves naturally by sendâ€" ing down stems deep in the soil. Bulbâ€" lets develop at the lower extremities and in all cases that have come to notice bulbs formed in this way have been found lying on their sides. This position is recommended when plantâ€" ing in order to shed standing water, orâ€"at leastâ€"to prevent it from settlin‘® on the crown of the bulb. Councillor Armstrong pointed out that the anngxation of Fesserton Hill by the Town meant that 423 people, ninety per cent of whom were on relief, were brought into Timmins. Chairman of Relief Committee, Counâ€" cillor McCabe, said that he had always found Mr. Martin to be a capable relief officer and that so far as the committee was concerned it had always done its best. The increase seemed to be mostly !in food and if it was a crime to give ilarger amounts of food he was proud to have committed it. “Soméwhat different from Councillor Armstrong‘s statement," commented Mr, Horton. Mr. Horton insisted that the actual number be looked up and it proved to be thirty families. That, said Mr. Horton, was not the point at all. The point was that other municipalities all over Ontario were operating on the Campbell scale plus twentyâ€"five per cent. . Why couldn‘t Timmins do it? One reason was that food prices were higher here this year, said Councillor Gauthier. Mr. Horton admitted that that might make a slight difference.. January February March ... April ... May ... 8 The m-ain difference between last year and this he said was that, simply, there were more families on relief this year. One Councilior asked for a comparison with Kirkland Lake.

Sidewalk Falls Into Excavation at Rouyn The usual crowd recently watching a steam shovel at work at some excayâ€" ation for a new building in Rouyn had their attention attracted elsewhere than at the fascinating work of the shovel when half the sidewalk the whole length of the lot tumbled into the excavation. Fortunately no one was standing on that part of the walk at the time or there would have been some injured, perhaps seriously. Imâ€" mediately after the accident a railâ€" ing was erected around the whole enâ€" closure to minimize the chances of onâ€" lookers being hurt.

Germany needs manganese and other ores, lumber, gasoline,, oil, raw chemiâ€" cals such as sulphur and these things Russia can supply. The Soviet needs machinery. That Germany can supply. Accordingly, the two nations have deâ€" cided to forzet the fact they hate each other for a time and to exchange proâ€" ducts. G _ j vÂ¥s j _ SIFTING | THE NEV io 1407000000000 For many years there has been a great deal of trade between Germany and Russia. It has gone on constantly supremely indifferent to the verbal abuse the leaders of each country have been throwing at the other. At the recent Munich Art Festival, when Hitler, himself a water colourist of sorts, commended voluptuous nudes that Nazi German artists seem to favâ€" our, a guest of the German government was George Astachoff, Counsellor of the Russian Embassy. Presence of the Russian was believed to mean Ssomeâ€" thing. It now is taken to presage a new era of friendlisr relations between Gerâ€" many and Russia. The possibility that these two nations may some day come to an agreement whereby their ideologies which are not so different after all, could be reconâ€" ciled one to the other, and a military pact arranged, is still in the minds of expert European observers. The Angloâ€"Russian azreement, which has been mooted since the Munich Pact, is now seen as certain by one London daily. .According to its report an anâ€" nouncement will be made in the British house in the near future to the effect that a group of British army and navy leaders will proceed to Moscow shortly to "arrange a military agreement to be concluded simultaneously with a political pact." At the same time a French military deputation would visit the Russian city.

The Japanese navy has announcei that the Canton River will be closed for shipping for two weeks. The move is reported to be dcsigned to blockade shipping between the southern Chinese capital of Canton and the British Crown colony of Hong Kang. Meanâ€" while an order went out from Japanese authoritics to intensify antiâ€"British blockades and demonstrations all over. This in the face of the fact that Britâ€" ith and Japanese conferences rosulted in Britain recsognizing the Japanese right to movo freely in conquered Chinese territory. Apparently, British and Russian talks have been getting somewhere despite discouraging reports which have followâ€" ed each ont. It was necessary apparentâ€" ly for British negotiations with Japan for a settlement of the far eastern problem to reach a certain stage before the Angloâ€"Russian agreement could be put into effect. As British talks with Japanese have achieved just about nothinz, it would seem that Britain had to be certain of that result before concluding the agreement with Russia â€"a nation unfriendly to Japan. United States federal autlhorities have indicted thirteen persons in Jamestown, New York, in connection with what the Assistant United States Atorney said was "an international white slave ring, centred in Niagara Falls, New York." Assistant Attorney Kirchgraber said that the rinz imported girls, picked up at dance halls and similar places, in various Ontario towns. Among those mentioned were Niagara Falls and Sudâ€" bury. The Ontario Cancer Commission will investigate the formula of Dr. J. E. Hett, of Kitchener, for the treatment of cancer. For five years this alleged cure has been a bone of contention for the Ontario medical profession, With its usual superâ€"conservatism, the profesâ€" sion disclaimed the alleged cure and refused even to look into it. Then about a year ago, Dr. Hett, in rcturn for reinstatement to the College of Physicians and Surgeons, agreed to reveal his formula to a â€" commission sworn to secrecy. His license to practice as a physician was revoked in June, 1937. The cancer commission, established several years ago by the Ontario govâ€" ernment, has investigated more than 20 soâ€"called cancer cures. Method of testing the Hett cure has net yet been astermined but it probably will mean subjecting persons Wth cancer to the cure and tabulaing and examining reâ€" sults. May Pave Highway This Year Liskeard to Englehart New Liskeard, July 26.â€"Work is to be resumed immediately on the surâ€" facing of the main north road in the section between here and Englehart and, if weather conditions continue fayvâ€" ourable into the fall season, a paved stretch of approximately 45 miles, and extending through from Latchford to Englehart, will be available for autoâ€" mobile traffic before the snow flies again. Present plans call for the surfacing of the road from the Nine Mile Corner north of here through to Earlton, a distance of about nine miles, and. also for completion this year if possible, of another stretch of three miles, from the Heaslip corner into Englehart. McNamara Construction Company, operating from its plant at Earlton, will handle the contract, it was stated by V. _H. Longstaffe, divisional engineer for the Ontario Department of Hiighâ€" ways The work is a resumption of surfacâ€" inz activities under a contract awardâ€" ed the company in 1937, and under which there already has been carried out paving of nine miles of road north of here (with the exception of a small stretch at the Calamity Gulch bridge) about seven miles from near Earlton station to Heaslip. (Previously, the 18 miles between Latchford and New Lisâ€" keard had been surfaced. The stretches now to be paved are almost entirely new road, built recently to shorten the route north. ‘ procramme eath CvCliIII}, wao a tendency to rush by without giving the work on display the notice it unâ€" doubtedly merited. | The two national groups providing 1 /the remarkable exhibits shown were l the Croatians and the Hungarians.
