This order was from a breeder in the Orange Free State, South Africa for 6 pullets and 2 cockerels. These had to be outstanding birds with good breeding. At New York in the Central Egg Laying Contest com~ peting against many of the most prominent breeders in the United States we had the high Barred Rock pen.

The rational income of Germany in 1913 was 45.7 milliard goldi manks. In 1923 it was 60 per cent of this; in terms of 1913 purchasing power, namely, 28 miliiard gold marks. The cost of the armies of occupa- tion, reckoned at 240 million gold marks, was thus less than 1 per cent of the national income, or, more exâ€" actly, 0.85 per cent. The German budget expenditure in 1913 was: 3.5 milliard marks. In 1924, after stabilisation of the mark, it was 7.2 milliard. The cost, of the armies of occupaâ€" tion was thus, in terms of the 1913 budget, 6.8 per cent, and in terms of the 1924 budget, 3.3 per cent of the national‘ expenditure. This means that the Germans are demanding under this head} practi- x‘call‘y 50 per cent of France’s pre- lwar national income. In view of [the inevitable reduction of this in- come by the disasters of war, the real: proportion is‘ higher. A group of Woodbridlge ladies sent a bale of clothing on Wednes- day of this Week to the war victims in Chelsea, England. The hale, con- sisting of warm clothing for women, children and babies, is sent direct to a Welfare Nurse who distributes the clothing among the needy. Any- one wishing to donate to this worthy cause, kindly leave donations with Mrs. A. B. Cousins. Another bale will be sent in the near future. In June, 1919, it was promised that the cost of occupation should] be reduced to 240 million marks a year when German d'emohilisation was satisfactorily completed. Later it was agreed that this sum should come into force as from 1 May, 1922. At the rate of exchange of Fr. 20 to Rm. 1, fixedv by the Armistice Commission, this amounts; to Fr. 146 millfiard1 a year. I But the whole French pre-war na» tional income â€" that is, the total: 10f personal incomes â€"â€" did’ not ex- lceed Fr. 29-0 milliard. But, as the payments and credits receiver} were prcvisionally retained by the Powers receiving them, Great Britain was some 22,500,000 pounds out; of pocket. The credits included the value of the Saar mines, though this was not includedl in the sum available for meeting the costs of the army of occupation down to 30 April, 1921. The claims for the expenses of the Allied Armies of Occupation were based on the actual costs inâ€" curred. Down to 3’0 April, 1921, German reparation payments had ap- proximately COVEI‘edJ these costs, on the assumption that credit was giv- en for cessions of property and for deliveries in kind‘. In addition France is mulcted 'by the artificial exchange rate imposed. The acceptance of Reichsmarks at this rate is compulsory in the occu- pied zone. The Bank of France is also dbliged to convert into franc notes Rm. 3 mil/liard' of mark notes of the Reiche‘kred‘itkass-e. No credit has been allowed for property or terri- tory taken by Germany. The German army in France in- cludes the troops in the invasion ports, and is not strictly an “army of occupation”. Even if all troops are included, the sum demandedi is enormous. The French» budget for 1939 was Fr. 66 milliard, and the first war {budget was Fr. 79 milliards. The sum demanded by the Germans is thus nearly twice the total war budget, and! more than twice the normal peace budget of France. Le Journal says that one month’s maintenance of the Germany army at the prescrflied rate exceed-ed the combined lbudget for 1939 of the French Ministries of War, Navy and Aviation. The cost to Germany of the- Allied’ armies of occupation after the last war was less than one per cent of her national income. The cost to Germany of the Allied armies of occupation was less than seven per cent of her 1913 budget, and just over three per cent of her 1924 budget. Thvis sum was fixew 'by Article 18 of the Franco-German Armistice terms, reported on June 24, 1940. by a Special Correspondent The cost of maintaining the Ger- man troops occupying France has to be paid) by France at the rate of 20' million marks a day. T01] Exceeds Half National Income, Twice FranCe’s Whole War Budget WHAT FRANCE MUST PAY THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO That was all there was to it. But we understand‘ that there may be an aftermath of ‘bitter protest on the part of fox hounds because city men, engaged in other occupations, are trying to take their living from them by running foxes for no re- ward at am. Of course the city men will argue that they thought they were the hunters; and not the hounds. Winners at Bingo held- at Rich:- vale School on Monday last were M1". and' Mrs. Alexander, Mr. Brown. MT. J. Clement, Mrs. Durie, Mrs. Dickenson, Mrs. Erickson, Mrsu F. Hlil‘l, Mr. Donald Huestis, Mrs. Jack- son Taylor, Mr. Jack Warwick. A cmd’ial invitation is extended to evâ€" eryone to enjoy another evening- next Monday night under the auspices of East Vaughan Ratepayers Associa- tion. Rememlber the date Monday evening, January 27th, at 8 o’clock. And: next time the Markham farâ€" mers need‘ a pack to go fox huntlin’: â€"â€"they will be able to kid the same city Nimrod'sv all over again.” The farmers selected two old solâ€" diers of their number, one with a wooden leg, to shoot the foxes. They put the city nimrods to work walking over hill and dale and through brush and brake, like native floush heaters. The two veterans drove their car around the conces- sion roadv‘s ahead of the direction the bush beaters were going. Even- tuallry the heaters raised the foxes, and when they ran across» the road the farmers shot them. You can heLp win the war by buy- ing war savings stamps. A foxhrurnt with shot guns instead of hounds was onganized, with the farmers up there understanding perâ€" fectly that all 'the shots the city silickerS would get would! be inward and not outwardeoundâ€"but that was all part: of the fox hunt. The idea was to fox the Toronto men. Being familiar with farmers and having studied- urfban conceptiOns of the great outdoors, we felt we should have first-hand information of this event. ACcordingly we were repreâ€" sented' on the spot by Old King Tallyâ€"ho Cole and Telescopic Vision Camera-Eye Judlges‘. The only chance of a mishap would have been for the fox to have run the wrong way, with a lot of city hunters trampled to death trying- to do a Caporetto turn. “Tally-ho" claimed to have seen a gun onoe, andI “Cameraâ€"Eye” once took a picture of a fox in a cage, so they were both well qualified. Why not use a. gang of city slick- ers for the hounds? City men need the fresh air and exercise anyrway. We were pleased last week to re- ceive a letter from Mr. D. J. Taylor, Ontario’s Deputy Minister of Game and‘ Fisheries relative to the story appearing in The Liberal telling- of George Walzwin‘s feat as a fox hun- ter in comparison with the much puiblicized hunt carried on in Mark- ham Township by a city hunt club. “I beg to plead‘ not guilty of being present on this occasion,” says Mr. Taylor, “although I admit at the re- quest of Markham] officials I did suggest certain city s-lickers who might enjoy some recreation and do the farmers a service by eliminat- ing a few of the surplus fox in that area.” “I too was quite surprised," he said, “to find that this hunt re- ceived, more newspaper space than the fall of Bard‘iaw although the casualties in the latter case I be- lieve were much in excess of the fox hunt, which also somewhat sur- prised! me as I understand the speed of the fascist soldier is- equal to that of the fox under similar circum- stances. In ththem; of the hunter it would ’be jump for jump, if any- thing the “wop” would be in the lead.” They had the foxes for a foxhunt but they d’idm’t have the hounds. So they thought up sort of a foxy idyea. The city slicke'rs were ‘taken for a wab ” up in Markham Township yesterday. The farmers up there had reason to believe that there were a couple of foxes in the neighborhood. » We are ind‘elbtedJ to Mr. Taylor for drawing to our attention the following version of the “Fox Hunt” by Thomas Richard Henry in the Evnening Telegram: “Taken For a Walk Surprised to See It Get More Pub- licity Than Fall of Bardia Deputy Minister Gives Impressions of Famous Fox Hunt RICHVALE [1933 FORD COUPE, rumble seat.
