"ShakespeareD Apt Name

The name of Shakespeare was first
borne by tall man who was attached
to the royal bodyguard and who was
present during one of the battles and
saw an assassin stealing up to royal
person, either king or next heir Il
cannot remember which) He snatched
a spear from an arinor bearer and ran
him through, just in time to save the
victim intended. For this he was sent
for and knighted on the field and
given spear and commanded to walk
before royalty on public occasions for
three generations and to receive a
grant of five yards of scarlet cloth an
nually. After this settlement of an
estate days journey from London
was given and kept for many years,
and the owner had to appear at court
and wave or shake spear to prevent
anyone coming too near to do harm to
the king.-Hector Bolitho. In the

DAIRY, POULTRY

A letter has been mailed by the
Arrowhead association to every bank

bringing before the world the de-
STABILITY of the section for poultry
and dairying. The letter is as fol
lows:
San advertising campaign to sell
the Arrowhead Country to dairy and
poultry farmers is now being map
ped out, and to carry on we need
your cooperation.
''First, we want to get all the
approved and partly improved farms
not now in use, into the hands of
practical farmers, thereby placing
them on a productive basis.
Second, we want the local peo-
pie in each community to realize
that a land settlement policy is
needed. We believe that new set
tiers should be advised to purchase
land where settlement is already

seaool facilities are provided. A
new farmer placed in locality
where public improvements have al
ready been made helps to reduce
the taxes; if placed in new terri

the leaders in every county to take
