A of Short Story The following reprint from the Winnipeg Tribune of May 1st, will be read with interest by the many .friends of Mrs. Agnew, formerly Miss Maud Taylor, daughter of Mrs. J. W. Taylor, of town: "It's no use you sending in a story because I have, and I'll win,” teased Maude Taylor Agnew, addressing her friend Rae Tooke. Mrs. Tooke in turn said, "Now I was just going to say the same to you, I’ll cop the prize.” Then they both laughed, these two riends, members of the Writ­ ers’ Club, both busy women who write "on the side.” They were discussing the short story prize of­ fered by the Women’s Canadian Club .for alliCanadian competition. This week the results came: They both sent in a story, and they both won a prize, Mrs. Tooke getting second prize of $30, and Mrs. Agnew third prize of $20. Mrs. Agnew’s story was entitled "Desperate Ills” a little picture of life on a drought area farm. All the neighbors had moved away but the.mother in the story would not go because a little grave remained on their farm, on the horizon, was eked out garden a drink. 'The author Agnew, 2'51 Langside St., wife of a Jbarrister, mother of three children the youngest a lad of 12. Maude Taylor was born- in Exeter, Ont., came to Winnipeg in 1910, worked in a real estate office. One of the bouses she sold for her company was No. 251 Langside, to the lady who became her mother-in-law. (She won a prize in 1933 for her story, "Bitter Bread” in a Syndicate competition. She had her first article published in 1926 in The New Outlook, United- Church Publi­ cation: "The Busy Day of a Min­ ister’s Wife.”. She wrote a poem for Mrs. H. G- L. Strange, "It’s a Long Way to a Thousand Dollars,” the night the Writers’ Club dined her. Mrs. Agnew does many skits and plays .for Young churcih organ­ izations; last week there was one for the C.G.I.T.; next Tuesday t'he Bridal work. * * * Tried the rhubarb?

Any citizen wh-o will do nothing for his town is help­ ing to dig its grave. A man that “cusses” the town furnishes the cof­ fin. The man who is so selfish as to have no time from his business to give affairs is-making the shroud. The man who will not advertise is driving the hearse. The man who is. always pulling back from any public enterprise throws bouquets on the grave. The man who is so stingy as to be howling hard times, preaches the funeral, sings the dox- oloigy. And thus the town lies bur­ ied from all the sorrow of the world. Anonther Question (They were arguing as to whether was correct to say of a hen "she sitting” or "she is setting.” “Th© question,” said the farmer, "don't interest me at all.

And with the gradual growing of the years She passed to maiden smiles from girlish tears. Then with the years of shy emotion spent, Up to the glow of womanhood she went, Lent contributions to the passing show, But kept her heart for those she 'cared to know. Affection's goddess lingered at her side To circumscribe her romance, and to guide. When disappointment brought her pain or grief, in sorrow’s.tears she felt her first relief; Then quick dispelling warm emotion’s vent, Replacing logic for soft sentiment. In passing through life’s every mood and tense She garnered large diverse experience; In 'light and Shade, ih> smiles and serious thought Much Of life's philosophies she caught And bent them to her use in daily life As friend, as queen, as mother, and as wife.
