T.iml’i’.l. Toronto, Ont. •n n Oil-Driven Train For Ottawa Route Once upon a time the motives for earning and saving money were given to children in terms of disaster. "Save for a rainy day," "Save for old age.” "Lave for richness,” et cetera—but mtdern economists are agreed, that it is the thrifty habit of saving and the self-discipline thereby Involved that is important to youth rather than the actual cash stored away. Children are trained to-day to sacri­ fice a present good for a future bet­ ter and the immediacy of the reward Is tempered to suit the type of young capitalist. A group of boyB in Tor­ onto, who were earning money, plan­ ned just what they wanted to use the savings for. They agreed as to the childishness of imposing worthless articles or service upon people who are pleased to help a boy merely be­ cause he is in earnest,. They also eliminated the salaried "job," since most of them were less than 14 years of age. Finally they classified the '■types of money-making opportunities possible to them. ' >Two Ways to Earn. The first mothod, and it is far- reaching in its lessons of construc­ tive thrift, is to discover and sell all .the lald-aside material that accumu­ lates in every household. One boy sold three old fishpoles for 50 cents. Another sold four “B” batteries for $1. Old papers brought 25 cents a hundred pounds, bottles brought 5 cents for three in the quart size and 8 cents a dozen in odd lots. They did not have to be clean and did not re­ quire stoppers. Old tires brought only 5 cents but a battery sold for $2 and a Ford 'coil" for $3. Metals were readily disposed of. Lead sold for 5 cents, copper for 7 cents, and copper wire for 8 cents. An old stove in the basement yielded a good profit, . An indiscriminate col­ lection of broken jewelry, of no value except for metal, brought $4.57 to one boy. One man permitted his son to plans, and supply devices for contain- i ing small coins. ThiB Is a help to the beginner, for it dignifies his small [ sums. It is no nonger j"nst a dime," ■ but an integral part of a dollar, and it fheans more. Often parents unknowingly discour­ age the young earner by saying, “Use your own money, you made 50 cents to-day.” This creates the feeling with the novice that it is useless to earn it if it is to be used for the supply of needs that would be forthcoming with­ out any effort on his part. , " “ Laughter at wage-earning efforts has often discouraged beginnings. It is a serious’ matter to the boy, and he 1 does not distinguish between laughter , j that is ridicule and the indulgent, lov-! ing mirth that is the by-product of ap­ preciation. He is sensitive, and "he ■ laughed at me1 earning speed. v ..........■:■!—>—■— ..................- Noyember 20, Leeson VIII—Mlcha Champions the Oppressed, Mlcha 2: 1-3, 1-13- Golden Text—He hath showed thee, O man, what is good: and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?—Mlcha 6: 8, ANALYSIS.

THE SHAME OF JUDAH, 7:1-6. The prophet deplores the wide­ spread corruption of the social life of his time. It is1 as a vineyard from which, the fruit has been taken; there are no good grapes left. Or it is as fig’ trees from which the choice fruit has been picked. The description seems to us clother in extravagant, language, but such was the general depravity of the age thiat such lan­ guage must have been justified. That was Judah’s intolerable shame. “hands off" when the spending time comes,✓ Now You Tell One!

He may buy and sell i whenever he sees -fit, providing that a record is kept of the change in the flock, he egg yield is to be noted each day and credited at market prices, whether used in the house, incubator or sold. The various columns of the sheet are to be filled- in at the time of the transactions. In this way the hens are given the credit they de­ serve. By filling a bin in the hen house with grain once a month and providing a good sized dry mash hop­ per, the trouble of keeping account of the feed is reduced to a minimum. As the summary of these records : should furnish very valuable data, a duplicate copy is mailed to the Poul­ try Division promptly at the end of each month. In acknowledgement of i this information, a monthly letter of < hints stressing some subjects of dm- j portance is mailed to the correspon­ dent. Should the report contain cor- 1 respondence or questions this matter ‘ is immediately attended to. Only < those who return the monthly reports , receive the letters of suggestions. ( All monthly records should be ex­ amined at the end of the yeai’ to note particularly from what item the greatest income has been derived, ' whether from market or hatching i eggs, market poultry or bleeding ■ stock and to study the expenses with relation to the receipts.

Like Isaiah he predicts the coming of the Assyrian armies into Judah, and1 it is probable that he him­ self witnessed their coming (cf. Jer. 26:17-19, and Micah 3:12). I. POWERFUL OPPRESSORS, UNJUST RUL- ZERS, AND FALSE PROPHETS, chaps. 2 and 3. The prophet pronounces woe to the rich and powerful men of Judah who with covetous greed plot by night the crimes which they commit by day, who covet field's and.seize them, and houses and take them away. They practice this wicked robbery because they are able, because it is in the power of their hand. Therefore, trouble is surely coming upon them, a yoke of bondage which will humble their false pride, 2:3. Then, when the nation has gone down to its ruin, when they are robbed and spoiled and led cap­ tive, men will recite a lamentation for them (cf. Amos 5:1-2). The He­ brew text of v. 4, is broken and im­ perfect, but with the aid of the an­ cient Greek translation (the' Septu- agint), it may be amended to read as follows: The portion of my people is measured out, I None to restore it. I To our captors our fields are divided; We -are utterly spoiled. The "cord” of verse 5, is the meas­ uring line used in surveying and di­ viding the fields. The meaning is simply that, the land having been taken from them and given over to their enemies, theWwill be no longer any dividing of it among the families of Judah. The word rendered "pro­ phesy” (2:6), is frequently used with that meaning. It means literally, however, to “keep on talking,” We may understand vs. 6, 7, as follows: The cruel oppressors of .the poor bid the prophets to cease talking of these things, to leave off their never-ending 'reproaches. They ask, "Is the spirit of the Lord (who is supposed to speak through these prophets) a narrow, carping, fault-finding spirit? Are these calamities which the prophet is foretelling really his doings? They are very skeptical. The prophet re­ plies that Jehovah’s words put no re­ proach upon him that walketh up­ rightly, but rather commend him, or do him good. He refers pointedly (vs. 8, 9), to outrages of which they and their kind have recently been guilty. They have attacked peaceable travel­ ers and stripped them of their cloth­ ing. They have cast out women from the houses which they have seized, and driven their young children into slav­ ery or exile, robbing them of the glory of their inheritance in Israel. He bids these rapacious robbers “Arise ye and depai-t,” for this land of Judah will no longer be their resting place. Their unclean lives have wrought their de­ struction.

Baskets of them keep ' reappearing even in the fall and yield up their place entirely only -after tho hard frosts begin. The secret lies in the marked success achieved in re­ cent years with the "everbearing” var­ iety. In the iiast amateurs and experi­ menters have amused themselves with “everbearing” strawberries to some extent, but recently in certain sections the cultivation has been on a suffi­ cient scale to develop a market value. The Alpine strawberry, indigenous to some parts of the European Alps and fruiting from early summer to fall, has been cqltiv.lted for 150 years, importance because of its small fruit. * Europe has developed other varieties vrith larges fjeuit, but noiie*of these * ha*?, preyed degirgble jq the ijjlited, States. Growers here have developed I their own from a plant that by chance ‘ was found; one day in September, ' 1898, bearing’ fruit and blossoms in all stages of development. The plant was straightway set aside and chris­ tened the Pan-American, and from this ancestor a numerous family has sprung. CAREFUL CULTIVATION NEEDED. Everbearing strawberries are now raised in many parts of the country, but all of the varieties originated in’ the Northern States, where conditions are peculiarly suited to them. The quality of the fruit depends largely on the climate, the most important clement being plenty of moisture. They cahnot survive long droughts unless irrigation is supplied. On the Other hand, late spring frosts make little difference to them, for if their blooms are killed by frosts they will bloom again. The plants are very hardy and their foliage is particular­ ly resistant to disease? but they re­ quire more fertile soil than do the ordinary varieties and tillage must ba more thorough. Most everbearers call for intensive methods of culture to return the greatest yield. They are harvested as any strawberries are, but the task is more costly, since their ripening period is long and fewer are obtained . at one picking. Flower stems appear - w „ {soon after the plants have been set three more, and they certainly are ex- i jn spring. If set early they begin cellent pills.

Work well done makes constant de­ mand for more work. Caddying, hunt­ ing lost balls, mowing lowns, watch­ ing parked cars, washing cars at a dollar apiece, helping people move, gathering dandelion greens, weeding gardens, windows, carrying .water ta games, painting screens, cleaning yards and basements, delivering pack­ ages, folding advertising circulars, distributing .handbills—-these are a few of the mapy ways this group used to get money. Sometimes two methods were com­ bined, as in the case of selling the oversupply from tire garden, running lemonade stands near the tourist routes, or supplying the traveling pub­ lic with seasonable demands.
