MacArthur Ivory 8 years since his death in 1321, the body of the great singer llnrica Caruso has been taken from the family vault in Italy and in- spected. Why? Because the famous tenor requested it. No other reason was given. Everytime the body is impacted it gets a new robe and somebody sings a few bars from the deed singer's favorite songs. But the most amazing thing about Caruao's body is that it has not showed any signs of deterioration since it was placed in its tomb 32 years ago! It is said with some authority that the ghost of Abe Lincoln 'hsunts the White House, that the poet.

"Here is one thing worth visit- ing this grim place for alone," said Tom. "This is where the fam- ous lichen, orchilla, comes from. It is gathered and sent to England' and makes a wonderful dye.” , For Angus the crater: that hon- eycombed the islands-from mere blowholes to deep cups of great size-impressed him most. "If we ever find Tabletop," he told them, "it will be much on this pattern- low-lying in tremend- ously deep water, shrouded in mists, and with an active, or ex- tinct volcano rising ill the middle ofit.And just as the flora and fauna are extraordinary and unique there.

Felice Pardo await- ed them. He interested Jane very much, for she was immediately conscious of a mind cast in a different pat- tern from any she had yet met in her brief existence. She had never known a foreign- er very well before. and the mixed bloods that. went to create Felice produced an intellect and outlook that gave her much to think a- bout. She approached him tiously, and when an instinct of doubt and even aversion began to dawn in her. shc blamed herself, not him, and told herself that only a child. or a savage. mistruats the unknown. He. was clever and poured into her new knowledge 0 the world in which he lived. and obviously strove to please her; but she felt him to be radically dif- ferent in essence from her own kind. She would never understand him, as she understood the simple natures of Tom or Angus. Yet he did not hide his enthusiasm or conceal his strong Sncialistic con- victions. He was quite honest in that matter. "What I want. in see before I die III a luster world. Miss Bradshaw; and that would also be a better world." he said. She could not deny the force of that ambition and observed that Pardo'n ideas were cast in a great- er mould than those of her own. or of her friends. Birds and plants and ruined cities St"Pnl9d small things contrasted with the iPe1ill- vlanis onthusiasms for humanity: and it was the sharp contrasts, that, Jane concluded. must make her feel uncomfortable in l'elice's company. As for Aylmer and Maine, they welcomed their old friend gladly enough and for them a new sensa- tion attended their reunion. They both felt it, yet neither could put it into words or explain it to one another. Something had happen- ed to Fardo and they were coii- acioua of this change, yet could point to no definite symptom. He was always somewhat unfathom- able and his moods beyond their calculation. Intervals of gloom were apt to engulf him like a cloud and obscure him from them: but out of these he would usually e- merge in riotous spirits and take his unconscious place as the men- tal stimulus of the others. purple courteous.

He was more sat- urnine and preoccupied than of old, given to longer silences. less quick in emerging from the secret chamber of his own thoughts. They could not know that it was his own thoughts that had creat- ed the barrier. any more than Pardo himself knew how his hid- den purpose had altered his out- ward demaanour. In secret he fought with himself still, in favour of his intentions. al- though now quite determined. He went round and round. like a squir- rel in a cage. arguing each point of justice and honour in turn. and spinning a web to entangle and destroy his old loyalties. He told himself that his mental misery was unimportant and only the re- sult of his own weakness: but it created an intense impatience and desire to gel. on with the matter and be through with it.

Hogs Verses Beef The following comparsion proves that during the past year a very decided change has taken place in the relative values of hogs and cattle: On August as, 1952 the price of 100 lbs. live weight, of good steers was 132 per cent of 100 lbs.

Farm Policy It I' I senmllv accepted fact that prosperity In Agriculture is desirable not only for farmers but for other sections of the aoonomy. However, many of the attempts either on the part of farmers them- WVH 01' by Government to achieve BQUIUIY of return, run into criti- cism, particularly if these attempts show any likelihood of Lffxtlgu the returns of other groups. For many years past farmers have been concerned with the monopolistic trends that have devel- Oped in Labour, Industry, gnd Business, but while resisting these trends there has been the develop- ment of the belief that the way to'iight fire is with fire, hence the development of certain features in Agriculture which can perhaps be termed monopolistic in the marketing field. Farmers as individuals can ex- ert very little control over the external forces which regulate both their income and costs and it is nnly through group action, which in many cases must be sup- ported by legislation and Govern- ment Intervention that Agriculture can even be in a position to fight for its rights. Many thinking farmers of strong Individualistic Character find cause to be concerned over the trends above mentioned, but In general there is recognition and acceptance of the fact that the production of food is far too vital to justify leaving the producer to the mercy of blind fate and unregulated com- petition of every description. Freedcm of individual decision may be a right. the value of which is over estimated. poslbly if the farmer achieves enonomlc freedom he will be in a position to more effectively safe guard the other freedoms.
