And at Three Rivers, Que., Mrs. Anne Urquhart Stillman met face to face the Indian guide who has been named In her husband's suit against her. On her arrival at Three Rivers Mrs. Stillman sent her slender luggage ahead to the Hotel St. Louis. Philip J. O'Brien, her New York lawyer, and Mayor Jean Crete of Grandes Piles, who met her at the station, were with her. Fred was there to await her. When Mrs. Stillman stepped with Crete and O'Rrien into the lobby of the little hotel his manner was as quiet and conventional as hers. "How do you do, madame," he said in English. "How do you do, Fred," she said casually. "How are you?" Incidentally Iicnuvnis has gone into the movies. His own production, "A Lonely Trail," will shortly be seen on the screen.

The potatoes should be banked as far away as possible from the old field and from the site selected for the next year's potato field. All potatoes on the form should be disposed of early.

Alex- ' DAMAGED BY WEEVIL hay has trade. Losses running into the thousands of dollars annually have been suffered by producers because of the difficulty encountered In disposing of hay that is Improperly prepared for market, or is of a mixture that causes It to be regarded as of a low grade. In Department Bulletin 077, "Marketing Hay at Country Points," recently Issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, the failure to remedy this situation is ascribed to two chief reasons : The producer and the dealers do not yet agree as to what constitutes quality In hay, and many producers lack vital market Information regarding the preparation of hay for terminal and consuming markets. Color Counts Most. Quality of hay Is at present Indicated largely by Its color, which is used to gauge the stage of maturity at which it Is cut The hay that grades highest, and consequently brings the most money, Is usually that having the best natural green color. Hay dealers can often tell from the color whether hay was cut early, medium, or late, and In their opinion the best hay Is the early cut hay and the poorest that which was cut late. The average hay grower, however, In some sections At least, does not ngree with the terminal market theory of quality as Indicated by color.
