Those who are arranging a valen­ tine party for children c-r older per­ sons will find the old-fashioned motto candies useful in many ways that add to tho party fun. These may be arranged in a border around a white cake already cut into sections. They should be dipped on one side into warm fondant so that - they will “stay put.” Any small cakes inay be similarly decorated. Tiny lace-paper doilies may make party place cards when put together double. A very thin ribbon will sei’ve # to tie these, run in through holes like lingerie. Place inside these doilies the names of those who are to be part­ ners, writing the names on a slip of paper. Tie the ladies’ names in, pink and the gentlemen’s in blue ribbon. Paste on the outside of each little val­ entine of lacy-paper circle an old- fashioned motto candy. Put these on a plate and pass them around. They look like very charming little valen­ tines. A motto candy-hunt will add to the sport of the occasion. You will also need bo have another valentine game, which may be made with a sheet that is edged with wide kitchen shelf paper and hung^at one end1 of the room. This is to suggest a lace-edged paper valen­ tine. Place behind the sheet that is hung like a motion picture screen, flat, an electric bulb light. Give out numbered cards and pen­ cils to each guest. First let the ladies guess and have the gentlemen go back of the “stage.” One at a time, as numbers are announced, let each gentleman’s'shadow be thrown by the light on the valentine screen. Ladies then write d!own his name. The one Who has made the most correct guesses should receive a large box of candy. In turn, ladies take their turn be­ hind the screen also and -another prize is awarded to the gentlemen. This is a simple, amusing way to get up a valentine party quickly. Children as ’well as grown-ups will enjoy its fun. Native Names. Did you ever think how unlike- aro our names for certain countries to those which -the natives o£ thosp coun­ tries use? For example the Egyptians call their land Misr, the Finns call theirs Suomeii Tasavalta, the Persions know -their country as Iran, the Estho- nians -theirs as Eesti Wabariik, and Palestine is officially Flstin-.

THE DIFFERENCE CHRIST HAS MADE 4 WITH RELATION TO PARENTS AND CHILDREN, 6:1-4. Introduction—One of the first re­ sults of the introduction of Christian­ ity into the previously heathen world was to create a new ideal of the home. The relations of husband to wife and of parent to child in Greek heathen so­ ciety had come to be very loose. There was no doubt a certain amount of na­ tural affection even in the heathen world, but there was no reverence. Husbands often treated their wives as though they were slaves or poor beasts of burden, and children were neglect­ ed. If they were weakly, they were often left to die without pity. On the other hand, children were not brought up to honor and respect their fathers , Only among the few .. n, , i home life which we know.sity of burning which commonly occur, ’all this changed. New values came*to attach to marriage and to parenthood. The home was lifted on to a new plane through the realization of God as Father and the Lord Jesus Christ as Son. Father discovered a duty to be . ,, A • A _kind and loving like God; sons to be inverted plaits m front and back obedient and reverent like Christ, joined to a dart-fitted under-bodice. Wherever St. Paul went, he strove to The jacket has a facing and collar in create a new sense of home duties and one, a vestee, and smart patch-pockets, relations. We can see this by the The long dart-fitted sleqves are finish­ present passage in Ephesians, which ed witn bands, and a trim belt fastens forms our lesson for to-day. • - ■ ---’ THE DIFFERENCE CHRIST HAS MADE WITH RELATION TO HUSBAND AND wife, 5:25-33. V. 25. The husband is to love his wife, not to tyrannize over her, as the heathen often did, still less to leave her or to divorce her, since Jesus had forbidden divorce, Mark 10:9, Matt. 19:6. Even philosophers among the Greeks doubted sometimes whether women had souls. So there was cruel­ ty and neglect on a great scale. But now Christ’s love for his Church creates a new ideal for the husband in relation to his wife. If we think at •what a sacrifice Christ loved his re­ deemed ones when he died on the cross, it will put gentler thoughts into our hearts, and we will not only be kind to our dear ones, but we will reverence them. Men who have been selfish will become chivalrous and noble, and the home will be a different kind of place. Vs. 26, 27. Christ loved his Church in order to make it holy. The sacra­ ment of baptism, by which we enter ■into the church, indicates that we should, live purjfiqd. Jives. The words spoken at baptism, namely, “In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” declare that we belong not to ourselves but to. God. I Christ wishes his church to be like a beautiful lady, shining in the light of God. He does not look for faults in it,' like spots or wrinkles. He sees only the beautiful qualities of his church, and his purpose is that it should al­ ways be “holy and without blemish,” like the sacrifices which, are offered to God in the Old Testament. Vs. 28-30. This love of Christ shows how the head of the house should re­ gard the lady who is his companion on life’s journey. He, too, should not be fault-finding, but chivalrous and generous. A man is not to make a difference between himself and his partner. Selfishness is a cruel tra­ gedy in the home. But love, following the example of Christ, brings bright­ ness into faded eyes, smooths the cruel traces of care away and transforms the home into a place.of genuine hap­ piness.V. 31. This is the reason why God at the beginning said (Gen. 2:24) that when a- man marries, the obligations of the new home are to take the first place in his affections. Vs. 32-34. Paul says that the ex­ ample of Christ’s love to his Church is a profound1, “mystery,” that is, indi­ cates a truth which only the Spirit of God reveals to human hearts. None but those whom Christ has awakened to spiritual truths can appreciate the spiritual illustration. Nevertheless, even simple Christians can see that it means that husbands and wives should look on their mutual relations as sacred relations. II. THE DIFFERENCE CHRIST HAS MADE WITH RELATION TO PARENTS AND ® CHILDREN, 6:1-4. V. 1. Christ was a perfectly loving j ever, influenced by the materials and j Another element entering into the j construction of roofs. I sum total of the influence- of roofing on farmstead fire hazards is the ex­ tent, if any, to which a roof c'an con­ fine a fire, regardless of its origin, to the building in which it starts and re­ duce the hazard to adjacent buildings. In this respect sheet steel and iron are in a class by themselves. Not only are they completely incombustible, but they are infusible, non-fragile, and capable of retaining to a considerable degree their mechanical strength at the highest temperatures encountered in an ordinary building fire. As con- - A (trusted with tho shower of sparks and mothers, < . and embers, and the increased inten- " ; “o~Xes al But with the coming ol the gospel when a combustible loot collapses a;^.e New values nnme to sheet metal roof, particularly if of the locked seam type, tends ‘to hold to­ gether and act as a blanket# both be­ fore and after it falls, a 'character­ istic shared in a similar degree by no other practicable building material. In conclusion, it may be said that the combination of lightning protec­ tion, spark or ember resistance, resis­ tance to radiant heat, and a relatively high ability to resist the spread of fire within should be given, due weight, to­ gether with other characteristics go­ ing to make up the desirability of a roofing material, by agricultural engi­ neers when their advice is sought as to roofing practice. When a building is roofed with metal ‘sheets in electrical communica­ tion with one another, and the roof as ( a whole is connected by a’ conductor, adequate in carrying capacity, and with joints of permanently low resis­ tance to a good earth contact, such a roof constitutes an effective electro­ static shield over the Entire top of a building, and there is reason to be­ lieve that it constitutes the most effec­ tive lightning protection now avail­ able and economically practicable for buildings of ordinary construction. > i With respect to burning brands ! from other fires, particles of soot from chimneys burning out, etc., it may' be said firstmf all that sheet steel or iron • is completely and absolutely incombus­ tible, a distinction shared by no other roofing material of comparable cost. It may be pointed out further that a sheet metal roof properly applied has no cracks or crevices through which sparks may be driven by the wind. • SHEET MF.rAL FOR ROOFS. As regards the capacity of sheet metal roofing in protecting underlying , wood from ignition by hoat radiated from adjacent fires, it would be easy to get into a theoretical discussion of the relative parts played by-reflection, convection., conduction, and reradia- . ............................ , ............................— -r--------------------------------*..........ir......... Farmers Must Plan Ahead. Once again the farmer is mapping out. his work for the year, planning his crops, deciding what fields shall go into this crop or that, how many acres of this crop or that he shall plant. As a general* proposition, it may be laid down that the better the farming he has been doing, the more nearly ail these matters have already been decided for him by his farming of the past year-and the years before that. In a word, if he had been doing really careful and systematic farm­ ing, the crops that will go on most of his fields, the acreages of most of his crops, are even now pretty well de­ termined for him. There is something wrong with his farming program if in laying out this year’s crops he feels that he need give heed only to the returns from this year’s labors. If he does not take into consideration as well the effect of this year’s cropping upon the* fertility of his farm and its- ability to produce next year and the years after, there is something wrong with his method of planning. In such case, he is trying to make a one-year business out of what is’ essentially a continuing busi­ ness, trying'to divide from each other causes and effects that cannot separated.

The Dominion Live I Stock ‘ Commissioner reports that I many drovers who were at first oppos-> I ed to hog grading have fallen into line and now make their purchases on a grading basis. Demonstrations in grading, tho Commissioner also re­ ports, have been the means of convinc­ ing many farmers of the suitability of the bacon hog for both the Canadian and export trade. Many farmers have also asked for assistance in the culling of the sow stock and in numerous in­ stances culling work has been followed by community organization for the purchase of fifteen to twenty-five sows Son to his Father in heaven, and his example means that sons and daugh­ ters in the home should show obedi­ ence to their parents. Children are not to be grudging or discontented or peevish, but are to render willingly whatever service is required of them by fathei* or mother. Vs. 2, 3. Paul reminds the children of thejfiffth commandment. God says,! “Honor thy father and thy mother,” I and St. Paul notes that this is the first- commandment to have a promise at­ tached to it. And the promise is God’s blessing. Only those children can ask for God’s blessing who are reverent and obedient in spirit. We should not think that we have a right to live happily and long if we do not submit ourselves to the duties required of us. V. 4. But Paul knows that parents need to show a proper sympathy with their children and not carelessly to provoke them to revolt. He reminds them that they are responsible for the religious upbringing of the young, and insists on the children being taught to rule their lives by the fear of God, and on their being instructed in God’s Word. The result will be a truly Christian home. If your heating plant is hot water or steam, be sure all conducting pipes are well insulated. One home-owner who had a hot-water heating plant wondered why the basement was the warmest part of the house, until he discovered that the pipes wore covered only with paper. This was tom off and the regular cellular type of insula­ tion, obtainable in units with bands for attaching, put on instead. the package. When all the Packages ood hacGn There are, however, have been purchased they are distri- ,a many are rciuctant to be convinced that the bacon hog is the most desirable and most profitable i typo to raise. The pipe entering the furnace fire­ box, for heating water, should be. only three or four inches above the grate, and there should be ten or more inches of the pipe exposed to the flames. The water will heat faster if this pipe runs horizontally instead of vertically, in­ side the furnace. M-any farmers have found that if the storage tank is placed in the hay­ mow tho danger of freezing in winter is reduced to a minimum. This can only be done, however, when the mow is considerably higher than the barn. Of course the tank should be amply supported by posts underneath, and it should not be too large. buted. When opened, each is found to contain two paper caps, on one of them the name of the man who is to ( wear it and so become the girl’s first dance partner. This same idea is adapted to choosing supper partners. To mix the crowd and break the ice, there are valentine verses. The girls , draw hearts and the boys arrows from a decorated basket. On each heart is written a word and on the arrows words that rhyme with those on the hearts. Partners are found, by match­ ing rhyming words. Each couple is then given a piece of paper and a pencil and asked to write a valentine verse of two lines using the two words for the last words of the lines. After j the verses are collected they are read aloud and suitable prizes awarded the co-authors of the best verse. GAMES FOR THE PARTY. A Heart Race is jolly. Each testant is given two .red hearts about twelve inches in diameter, one for( each foot. The racer places one heart on the floor and steps on it. At a given signal the other heart is put in position for the other foot. This race proceeds, a heart-step at a time, to a given point and back. The hearts only may be stepped on and each must b& lifted at each step and placed again on the fldbr. Failure to follow these instructions puts a contestant cut of the race. “Two Hearts That Beat As One,” is :■ another St. Valentine’s game.
