One day when he was over in the vacant lot playing with the other boys, he said to ‘Little Tim.’ "Where is your ball. Tim?” and Tim said, "I haven’t any. Daddy has no money to buy me a hall with.” This made Johnnie feel very badly because he had no­ ticed how worn out Tim’s shoes were and also what a shabby coat he had on. Johnnie was quite worried and very thoughtful during the dinner hour, and during the afternoon he and another boy arranged some field games for the next afternoon. “And let us take up a collection and buy a prize and give it to the one who will beat in a fifty yard ra -e,” said one of the boys. How much will you give toward the prize ^red?" "I’ll give 5 0 cents.” “So will said Johnnie. “Good,” said Ted- die. “we have a dollar collected al­ ready.” And before night they had gathered another dollar from the other hoys. Even little Tim put in five cents. Johnnie and Ted appointed to buy the prize. They went down to Eaton’s s mind you. the first thng was a lovely boy’s sweater at five dollars, on sale dollars — and they bought "Now,” said Johnnie (giving the wink) “no one must win sweater hut Tim.” That afternoon the sun was shin­ ing and all the world seemed bright as the boys gathered in he vacant lot for their sports. The first thing they did ivas choose sides and have a game baseball. And would you believe even some of the men and women hearing of what was going on ga­ thered around to watch the sports. They played tap other things that boys so much de­ light ment for the final contest o>f the day was announced, and when the boys were all lined up to run, sone one said, "Wh’ere is Tim?” They found him sitting over in one corner of the lot and he refused to run be­ cause his toes were sticking out of his shoes. Then Teddie said "Pull off your shoes Tim, for we won’t run with­ out you,” and Tim did so. And, oh, how he did run and all the men and wamen clapped then hands and said, "Go it Tim. Go it Tim.” And Tim won the race. Then all the boys carried him back on their shoulders and put the beautiful sweater on him — and listen.

Farmers’ sons have not been backward in flocking to the Air Force and other branches of the Canadian militia. This has resulted in a district shortage of man power on the farms. Many farmers hope to overcome this shortage by a greater u'se of labor-saving mach­ inery. They will find all the latest labor-saving equipment on display at the International. Advance information as to size of displays from the leading farm machinery firms of Canada has led to the statement by Secretary- Manager J. A.
