Need We Fear .

The favorite poems, in one-two-three order, are Kipling’s “If” (of course!), Gray’s “Elegy” and Matthew Arnold’s “Dover Beach.” The favorite novelist is Dickens; the favorite dramatist is Shakespeare; the favorite book is “A Tale of Two Cities’’ ’ \ And the. only concessions — if they may be called that—-to the one­ time spirit Of the age are made fa behalf of Masefield, / whose poetry ranks fourth after Arnold, and “An­ thony Adverse,” Which takes second- place among the novels, and “Ah Wilderness,” a favorite play which is, by the by, full of nostalgia for dear days of ’08. .

As one motors; through Ontario, and especially Eastern and Central Ontario, one is often struck with the forlorn and even dismal appearance ,of many farms, observes the Kingston ’Whig-Standard. The house and barns are .unpainted, the barnyard is a quagmirp and no attempt has been made to have a lawn oXflower garden The exceptional farm'Sr e an at­ tempt has been made to beautify 'the ---- L ----... aS a e others look home surroundings stands bright spot and makes even worse by contrast There are mitigating circumstanc­ es for the unlovely appearance of the terms, and they are very strong, and chief among them being lack , of cash, to expend on what is considered? a luxury rather than a necessity. Then, too, the farmer works long, weary hours at work which is very like gar­ dening, and he finds no recreation in digging (flower beds and mowing lawns. His wife and' children also work hard and as a result, only • In the odd case does the farm home and it* surroundings receive the care and attention which they merit. But in spite of these very plausible excuses, the Whig-Standard believes that a great deal could be done by the farmers of the district to. beauti­ fy their home surroundings. Little^. wonder " if the children want to leave home and try their luck in j the'city when the home is a dingy Unattract­ ive place. If the home were pretty they would be more, likely: to remain on the land Farmers who cater to the tourist trade find that tourists choose -the cleanest and most attractive-looking farm for their-overnlght^top. In this case a clean good-looking 'farmhouse pays golden dividends. But any far­ mer and his wife will find^a pretty garden plot around the -house will re­ compense them many times over in the way It will lift their spirits and the pride It will give them in. their own home. Improving the home surroundings on the farm need not be an expensive undertaking, * .necessarily. A little paint, some work, and a few cents worth of flower seeds will do wonders. t Apart from the physical improvement the planning and the awakening of the spirit of improvement will do much for the souls and. minds of the inmates of those firm homes which will try the experiment. L. Mothers will feel' more like enter­ taining the Romen's Institute; Dad will, eye the. place with a new pride of ownership; son and daughter will feel that they and their home are every bit as good as their city friends and their home. . It is the"’spirit of not , being satis­ fied with things as they are that does make the world progress and if all of the farmers of the Kingston district become, so dissatisfied ' with their own home surroundings, that they to work to improve them," they will be greatly ‘enriched at the expense of a little bit of energy which-perhaps Is expended now on . a-less useful enter­ prise..
