Recently a 111-1-1111111 soldier was attacked in the village of lli[>[)ul_\‘tt15l1OCl in the Zuyder Zce arca. The Nazis stibscqucntly arrested the burgoniastcr and demanded from him the names of three liostzigcs 111111 could be held responsible for the “correct l1cl1avior" of the population. The buigoiiiaster furnished three names and was released. The Germans then checked on the identity of these men and found them to be the two villzigc idiots and the newly-appointed local Nazi lczidcr!

There is also a humorous complaint about the "sabotage" a Nazi propaganda speaker faced when he tricd to organize a meeting in the vil- la e of Zuilichcm. The village secretary refus- e to lend him a loudspeaker. The burgomaster wouldn't let him use numicipal electric current, or speak from the steps of the town hall. The postmaster demanded that l. Nazi band stop playing because i1 “interfered" with his work. _The chief air-raid warden and municipal re- ceiver refused their pcr111i.;ic.1 for wires to he strung from their homes and trees.

And so it goes. This and a fund of other information is c1111ti1i11cd in “Netherlands News", l fortnightly 111111121111 published in New York by the Netherlands Information Bureau. The bulletin is made up of news which still filters through direct from the occupied homeland des-

ite the most stringent Nazi measures, and from messages sent to New York by Hollanders who managed to escape in the course of the last few months. It makes stimulating reading. It lhows how uucouqucrablc is the spirit of l. brave and determined people, even when under {he heel of oppression.

In the Prairie Pro- Vmces. the crop was only 8,398,000 lbs., com- pared to 11,056,500 in 1941. Mauitoban bee- keepers suffered considerable crop reduction, due to the fact that they intended to over-winter their colonies,

Quebec's honey crop was approximately the same as last year's, at 3.000.000 lbs., In British ‘Columbia and the hlaritimcs. production was slightly increased, 1l1e 1,169,000 lbs. crop on the West Coast last suuuucr being surpassed this year by a small degree; and 011 the East Coast, a 100,000 lb. gain ovcr 200,000 lbs., in 19.11.

The peak year for honey, within the past de- cade, was I939, when the index of production was 127.4. The lowest iudcx i11 that period, before this summer, was 78, i11 1937. Ho\v far this year's honey crop falls hclow expected levels, is indicated in the index figure 66.7—a record low. Later reports may alter these figures somewhat, but are not expected t0 raise the general itidcx of honey production for I942.

Here ll Montreal Gazette's tribute to the ex- Premier of Ontario: “Alitchell Hepburn has bgen 011g of the most war-minded and out- spoken, certainly the most outspoken, of all provincial leaders in these last three years. He has been an unrelenting critic of the Federal Government, but his attitude in this respect has not weakened his hold upon the electors of his province, or does not sccm to have done. What undercurrent: there may have been, may still be are undetectable at this distance. O11 the whole he has given the province efficient gov- ernment. He has been rough but also ready, has never run away from trouble and has never held his punches. If he is really retiring from public life now-his health 1s not robust-we are losing a very colorful figure."

n1 n1 111 1:

An interesting point of Mr. llsley's recent Victory Loan speech was his stress upon the greatly improved financial 1105111011 0f Cllllfldlafl farmers. After warmly commending their real- ly amazing production performance, the vast quantities of hog products and dairy products and cereals they have grown to feed Britain, as well as meet an expanding domestic demand, the Finance Minister pointed to the resulting large increase in gross farm income which will rank well with that of the best years of the past. Not only have the farmers done wcll from the enor- mously incrrxlscd production but they have fcw- er things to huy because of the restrictions im- posed upon 111cm, as well as 2111 other consumers. They, like other consumers, have much more money and much fcwcr goods they can buy. It is just such a condition that, unless rcmcrlicrl, l1rccds inflation. 'l‘l1cre are checks to this ten- dcncy though. One is the high lax level and another is mnxinuim iiivcsuncnt in war bonds. Payment of the laxcs is (‘r1111p11lsnr_v, and while Caflilda hi1} '1"?

"They have always stood the test and they stand supreme over all makes of Worm Remedies.”

Those words written by Mr. Edward Fromm, director of the greatest Fox Ranching organiza- tion in the world, whose breeders number 14,- 000, represent a conclusion based on the em- ployment of nearly half a million Vermicldl Capsules during the intervening years since he first tried them in the year 1911.
