M abr Pterlemd toad ~ mmrea One of the main things to con- sider in the growing of mush- rooms is that of spawn. It should be purchased from a re- liable dealer as spawn carried over from one year to another will not produce good crops and in many cases none at all. Each brick should be broken up into about a dozen pieces. The rows in the beds should be about a foot apart. Start the first row about six inches from the side of the bed. Lilt up the manure to a depth of from two to three inches and insert a piece of spawn, press the manure down tightly over the spawn. The pieces of spawn should be placed about nine or ten inches apart in the rows, After the bed or beds are completely spawned pack their entire surface down firmly, and cover with hay, straw or a mat of some sort so that the surface will keep moist. At the end of eight or nine days the covering should be re- moved and about two inches of good lonm put on top of the manure. This will hold the mush- rooms finn and will improve their texture. A temperature of from 55 to 60 degrees should be maintained to ensure the best results The less draft there is in the mush- room house the less watering will be required. In any event the beds should be kept moist. Straw, hay or matting may a- gain be used for this purpose if desired but should be removed as soon as the mushrooms ap- pear through the soiL It will also help to maintain the moisture in the beds if the floor and walls of the room are kept wet. ptovg--The ~r will co ~ i4 r Ir ~ pie sure Co ~ ~ er auwrioas cmdsc Cbe Smt a ia rais ot~.

And He Got the Ride He was poor, but brainy. He had walked far that morning. As he plodded on and on a trap over- took him. He stopped it with uplifted hand. "I say," he called out to the driver, "would you do me a fav- or? I want this overcoat of mine taken along to the next village. Will you take it?" "Certainly!" was the prompt reply. "But where shall I leave it? How will you get it again?" "Well, if it's all the same to you, I'd like to remain inside it."

Searle, Phone West 9 Fuel, Feed, Fertilizers and Building Supplies ORSESHOE BAY MLVIATURE GOLF COURSE During July and August the new Horseshoe Bay Miniature Golf Course, constructed during the winter, will be open after- noons and evenings. Although the game seems to have lost some of its popularity, this unique course is already proving that there is still a goodly num- ber interested in the game, and sll who have played the 18 holes are loud in their praise for the ingenuity and originality dis- played. Mr. Patterson, the owner, in- vites old and young to drive out to Horseshoe Bay any afternoon or evening and spend an interest- ing hour on his course. In the construction of this course nature has played a large part as, logs, stumps, and shrub- bery have been utilized in an int- esting manner. The 18th hole is constructed on an incline rising from the ground up over stumps to a height of 20 feet. That rustic finish the city courses have striven to emulate, and failed, can be seen on this course at its best. The par is 42 snd so far Mr. Patterson states that only one gentleman has beaten it, that gentleman walking way with a load of groceries, The Competition this Satur- day will be a secret score and closes at 11 p. m.

The Secretary was directed to furnish the in- formation asked for. The following resolution was passed on motion of Trustees Mr. Russell and Mr. Smith: WHEREAS a condition of unem- ployment exists in Canada which amounts to a national emerg- ency; snd whereas we sre spend ing enormous sums of money in building schools, technical and other colleges and equipping same for the purpose of educat- ing our children to become use- ful productive citizens, there is no assurance that they will have the right and opportunity to take part in industry when their period of schooling is completed, THEREFOI(E BE IT l(ESOLVED:-- THAT The West Vancouver Board of School Trustees go on record favoring the principle that it shall be the first duty of both Dominion and Provincial Governments to so administer the country's affairs that every man and woman who is willing and able shall have the right and opportunity to work in order to support themselves and families, not relief or charity, and, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, THAT copies of this resolution be sent to both the Dominion and Provincial Governments, and that a copy be sent to the Muni cipal Council requesting the end. orsation of this. THE iu'RLVIN&r BUSH By Subadar We have become a nation of fadd ists. There is no doubt about it. We started the season with beach pyjamas, by midsummer there is the walkathon, and what the winter will bring--well, I am just appalled. The dictum may be that we shall attach tails, long tails, to our persons,and walk along carrying them over our arms. We may come to that pass yet, and, if we do, it would be little worse than atten&ling s walka- thon. The proper pince for both the contestants and the promot- ers of these events is New IVest- minster, where there are two places which are yawning to re- ceive them. Our Conimunist friends tell us of the freedom of Russia. It may and may not be so, but I should not like to start preaching our democracy in Russia unless I had become tired of life, even if under our system of oppression the Communist csn work and plot to his he«rt's content IVe are afraid to punish for fear of making individual martyrs. The Russians believe in wiping out opposition wholesale by force, and they are right. One must al- ways really govern or hand the reins over to those who will. I cannot agree with the edi. torial writer in the Province, who suggested that the logical punishment for Al Capone would be to give him suspended sent- ence on the theory that to do so would put the crown on the ridiculous position he has got into in at last finding himself subject to the law he has so successfully defied. In the first place no racketeer has any sense of humor, because the latter quality goes hand in hand with kindliness, in which such gentry are remarks'bly lacking. Second- ly, where is the ridiculous situ- ation? The authorities in Chi- cago have decided to smash Cap. one and his gang, and they have done so. He got too noisy and so has been stepped upon, like most noisy persons. And instead of suspended sentence he should get the longest sentence possible, the biggest fine, and the cat thrown in, if American law al- lows it. It is impossible in his case to make the punishment fit his many crimes, but severe penalties visited on his head will prevent other embryo gangsters from following in his steps. blmiwl For I'eopls Who Arc I'articular Agent for SWArV BROSw DIIY CLEANERS TfilRD ST. aml ST.
