PURE, tree-ripe orange juice is here!
1t is real orange juice - the same juice
you would get if you stood in an orange
grove and squeezed the oranges yourself!
This is the first time people outside the
orange country have been privileged to
taste this delicious juice-only few hours
from the trees! Taste its marvellous favor
once, then you'll realize-for the first time
how good orange juice can be.
The only oranges you are now able TO
buy are picked before they reach maturity.
And it's only on the tree that an orange
drinks up juice and sweetness from soft,
tropical sunshine. 1t is remarkable how
quickly oranges reach the market, but at
best they are deprived of weeks of tree.
ripening. The ultimate flavor comes only
in these last weeks, when the fruit gets SO
heavy with juice it is almost ready TO drop
from the tree. Only Nature can ripen an
orange TO the peak of its delicate flavor!
Not a. neU drink:
Do not confuse ''National Dairy Orange
Juice with the so.called bottled orange
drinks. National Dairy, by utilization of the
latest scientific principles and development
of modern machinery, now brings you real
orange juice! Nothing has been added.
Nothing has been removed. Frozen by a
scientifically developed quick-freeze proc
ess, the juice comes to you just as it leaves
the oranges at the groves. This process
holds all the delicate taste and healthful
qualities in perfect suspense. If you served
it to a guest from the orange country, he
would not detect any difference. The ex-
PLANTATION is simple-there is no difference!
When the oranges are completely tree
ripe and heavy with juice, they are picked.
Less than 48 hours afterward, they are
peeled and squeezed by specially designed
machinery. peeled because the scream
juice is nearest the sunshine - and we
want you 10 have this in It's full delicious

VIKING HUNT

ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland,
March 27.-Convinced that the
missing members of the sealing
ship Viking periShed when an
explosion aboard shattered its
stern, or that they died soon
after, Bernt Balchen and his two
companions decided today to
abandon further search for them.
The three American aviators,
commissioned by DR.. Lewis Fris-
sell, of New York, to search for
his son. Varick, and A. G. Pen
rod. cameralnan for the illfated
film expedition, made several
long flights over Horse Island
and White Bay without seeing
a trace of the 81 missing men.
Meanwhile Henry j. Sargent,
the only one Of the three Alneri-
cans who escaped alive, testified
before the commission of inquiry
here on the events preceding the
ship blast. He said that he and
several members of the expedi-
ton were good-humoredly discuss

explosions on sealing vessels when
the tragedy. estimated to have
cost 30 lives, occurred.

LEAGUE DODGES
DEFINITION Of
us. DOCTRINE

ENEVA, March 81 U.SJ
Considerable specu lation has
arisen here over whether the
League of Nations regards the
Monroe Doctrine merely as q
scrap of paper"
Sir Eric Drummond, league sec.
retary-general, reported on his
return from South America that
IN numerous countries parLicu
larry Argentina, he was piled with
questions concerning the League s
attitude toward the Monroe Doc
trine.
StimSpn Is Quoted
The discussion was all the more
significant since Secretary Stinl-
SON had stated the famous policy
enunciated by President Monroe
was declaration of the United
states VS.. Europe" rather than
the United States against Latnl
America.
At the beheSt of American Sen.
ators, President Wilson, during
tn peace negotiations after the
war, was forced to write into the
League Covenant an article de
claring the covenant did not af-
feet the validity of international
engagements such as the Monroe
Doctrine.
In 1923 Costa Rica formally
asked the League to define the
Monroe Doctrine. The Council
wrote a rather ambiguous reply
saying the covenant did not
take away or add to the validity
OF the regional engagements. but
1t did not define the doctrine.
There the matter has rested.

Costly Farm Fires.

EvERY year, about slOO .o0e,e eco goes up in
smoke in this country, as the result OF farm
fires. This huge waste could be cut in half. at
least, In the opinion Of Department of Agri-
culture experts. if proper understanding of the
menace of fire guided the construction Of all
farm buildings. which are to be built in the flu
ture.
While the greater proportion of the farm
buildings now in existence appeared during
the vogue Of the ''huddie" type OF construction,
much can be done, even now, to safeguard
these. Back in the days when the annual conn
bat with severe Winter weather dictated the
close grouping of farm buildings in order that
heavy SHOWS might not keep the farmer from
reaching his live stock in the barns and IN
the chicken houses, little thought given to
the hazard Of IRE. The whole thought was
centered on the problem Of making access to
the various buildings as easy as possible
The result Of this type Of building was that
nre, once IT started, usually wiped out the
entire farm building group. with the possible
exception of some few isolated buildings
Nowadays, the wise farmer so locates his
buildings that If possible, q IRE which might
get out of control is confined to the one
building. This Is accomplished through the
construction of fireproof roofs which win offer
no fuel to flying sparks, the leaving of a
clear space Of at least $50 feet between buiId-
ings and the location Of the buildings In such
way that no two are 50 situated that the
prevailing winds blow from one to another
The advent of electricity in the rural sections
has brought new problem and a new hazard,
in which penny-wise attitude often results
In faulty installations, particularly when mex
perienoed householders have done the work
themselves rather than pay little more to an
electrician.
The Department Of Agriculture is calling at
tention Of the farmers to various types OF
water-pump installations, fire eKtinguishers
ladders and other equipment which can be used
TO nip fires in the bud before they assume seri-
GUS proportions.
Another step which Is expected to keep farm
fires down, an innovation which is rapidly tax
ing hold In many rural areas is the establish
ing of fire departments in small cities with
equipment intended solely for rural use, These
fast motor trucks are held in strategic centers,
from which they can be rushed on a moments

have accomplished much In combining fires to
