Generally their normal operating speed is much higher than that of the conventional four cycle engine. Their light weight and speed makes them suitable for port- able machines such as the rotary knife type of lawn mower, power chain saws, marine engines, etc. Special lubricating oils must be used and mixed precisely in the proportions recommended by the manufacturers to obtain maxi- mum efficiency and minimum of wear to the vital parts. • • * The four cycle engine is prob- ably still the most satisfactory for general use around the farm. Speeds may be regulated by means of a throttle lever or one of several types of automatic speed governors. Some engines also may be fitted with geared speed reduction units at ratios as low as 6k to 1 which make them easily adaptable for equip- ment which must be operated at low speeds.

R, Barclay Warren. B,A., D.D. The. Warning and Invitation of Jesus.' Matthew 11:20-30 Memory Selection: Come unto me, all, ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me, Matthew 11: '28-29. God has always appealed to man through warning and tender invitation. A preacher who ex- cludes either from his message is out of line with Scripture. The sin of Sodom is listed in our law books as sodomy. God destroyed the wicked people ,of that city. The people of the re- spectable city of Capernaum were therefore surprised to hear Jesus say, "And thou, Caper- naum, which art exalted unto heaveh, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in SodoM", it would have remained until this day, But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee." Re- sponsibility and punishment for sin are partially determined by the light„we have received. Bet- ter to die a heathen who has never heard the message of, the Gospel than an unrepentant sin- ner from Canada where Gospel light and priVileges are so abun dant. After the words of this dire warning Jesus gives the great invitation of the memory selec- tion: How many are laden with sin's guilt and shame! How many are bound by sinful habits of thoug'it, word and act! How many are wearied with the struggles of life! To all such, Jesus says, "Come unto me." Tranquillizing pills may give a temporary calm and strong drink may bring blindness to one's misery for a little time but only Jesus Christ can give soul rest. He is the answer to our need. Let us confess our sins and seek Him now. Multitudes have proven that His word is true, that "My yoke is easy, and My burden is light." "Seek ye the Lord while. He may be found." Ploughboy—Poet Proposed to Queen Of all the success stories in history few are so amazing as that of Stephen Duck, the Wilt- shire ploughboy who taught himself to read, became the most fashionable poet of .his day, en- tered the Church and was ap- pointed chaplain, to the King. In the year 1722, Stephen Duck was'living in the Wiltshire village of Charlton Saint Peter. 'Though still in his' teens, he had married and was raising a -family — on four and sixpence a week. Beer cost about 1. a ha'penny a pint, and an. ounce of cheap tobacce cost less than one of our own cigarettes, Anyway, Puck, a ploughboy, taught himself to read the Whole of Miltpn's '"Paradise Lest" After a while, he tried his hand at poetry of his own and found that he had p genuine talent. The local vicar helped him and the manuscript .of one of his poems was read to George II's Queen at Windsor Castle. The Queen was so impressed by Duck's talent that she sent for him and persuaded him to give up ploughing to study. Duck soon afterwards received a royal message appointing him librarian at the palace. He duly left his farm work and took up residence at Windsor Castle. Other successes followed — all beyond his wildest dreams, The former ploughboy was made a Yoeman of the Guard and was appointed keeper of Duck Island in St. Jame's Park. Duck wrote more poems and was duly proclaimed a great genius. The Queen was anxi- ous to promote him even higher and he was persuaded to study for the Church. This he did and in 1751 he became a royal preacher. It seemed that no post was too high for him. He was men- tioned as a possible Poet Lau- reate and even as Archbishop of Canterbury. Duck, however, had acted his part too long. He never felt at ease among his new friends and became morbid- ly sensitive about his birth. No one noticed this until he took to standing on his head in the palace gardens. Even that was accepted as the eccentricity of a genius. One morning, how- ever, the rumour, got around that the royal chaplain had rushed into the Queen's room to pro- pose marriage. Duck, in short, was paying the price of living in a dream. His mind had given way un- der the strain. Even so, no one understood quite how deranged he had become until, on March 21st, 1756, 200 years ago last year, at the age of fifty-one, the ploughboy-preacher ran away from the palace, the vic- tim of religious mania. After wandering about the country- side he reached Reading where he drowned himself in a stream behind a tavern. 4,..ick's poems^ never were great. But his memory lives on through the gesture of Lord Palmerston, who admired his tenacity in teaching himself to read and write. In oilier to perpetuate Duck's memory, Lord Palmerston gave a sum of ,money for a feast to be held in Duck's honour' every June 1st at the village inn of his birthplice. Twelve local farm-workers sit down to a supper of cold meat and ale. The ale is drunk at, one gulp from tankards holding five-eighths of a pint.. Thee Chief Duck (as he is called) reads the toast as follows: "Iu.remern- brance of Lord Palmerston and the Reverend Stephen.buck with, all iny• heart." Very Odd Bird That penguin has waddled right into tho heaciling again! If he's an EznPerer, Penguin he might wobble PP to where you are sitting and look at you, eye to eye, And if he should step on your foot you might think it was. Ben, your big boxer, Even smaller penguins — like the KingS and the Ade., lies -- aren't exactly ducklings. Imagine having to seize a four acre beachhead from 150,000 of such outsize, wingless aquatic birds. That's what the Navy has had to dp for its Antartica ex- pedition in order to build a base at Cape Hallett. The penguins, had. just hatched their young (which didn't make them hos- pitable), and the Seabees had • to fence of the feW feet of ground won. The penguin is the natural comedian ' of the whole feath- ered tribe. (This may be be- cause he reminds human on- lookers of themselves.) The solemn birds march in files like soldiers — or rather like wait- ers clad in dinner jackets. They use their vestigial wings (on land) like handless *arms. And they seem to talk to each other. It is said that women find in viewing motion pictures of home life among the penguins an amusement not vouchsafed to men. When building the nest of pebbles Mrs. Penguin toils diligently and purposefully; Mr. Penguin busies himself with getting in the way — then proudly contribu,tes the last pebble. What's so funny about that?

Where electric current is avail- able the small fractional horse- power motor seems to be the logical choice. The kind of 'available electric service may be a two-wire. 115 Volt or a two- or three-wire 230 Volt having an alternating cur- rent of 60 cycles or 25 cycles, or it may be from a small domestic engine driven electric generating plant supplying 32 Volts of di- rect current. The motors used, therefore, must suit the kind of electric current and wiring which is to be used. The A.C. motors are the type most gen- erally used and most Widely sold. popular kinds of A.C. motors are as follows: * * Split Phase Motors—These are usually the least expensive to, purchase. They include the 'sin- gle phase type that operates on two wires 'and are obtainable in sizes ranging froth 1/20 H.P. to 1/3 H.P. They are, suitable for light duty such, as', may be re- quired for a• small, seed cleaning, .machine Or..a washing machine. They can start a machine. that requires about .twice their nor- mal running ' power fOr a short' duration. An automatic switch mechanism disconnects' the pow-, er from its starter windings as soon as the motor reaches ' its normal speed. * . . Capacitor Start Motors—These meters cost a little more but are the best all round motor for general use. Their power ratings range from 1/8 H.P. to 1 H.P. The . motor is fitted with a. capac itor; which is a condenser to abserb the extra surge of electric bur- rent'when starting a machine. It is thus able to start a load that reqUires three times its nor- ,mal: horsepower rating for short period.

The heavy, dual-purpose breeds and crosses which have been popular among peultrmen for many years now appear to be losing favor to light breeds and crosses. There are two reasons for this: (1) The price of fowl has been low in recent yeaxs, thus reducing the meat value of the carcass; (2) Light birds, re- quire less feed for maintenance and hence, when compared on the basis of equal egg produc- tion, produce eggs more econ- omically than heavy- birds. A four pound bird producing 200 eggs per year consumes about '78 pounds of feed, while a six pound bird Laying at the same rate consumes about 98 pounds of feed. On this basis the light bird produces one dozen eggs on 4.7 pounds of feed, while the heavy bird requires 5,9 pounds of feed for one dozen eggs. This represents a saving of about one' dollar per bird per year for the light birds. * Since many heavy breeds are popular and have good growth, liveability, and production rec- ords, there is a natural reluc- tance on the part of producers to switch to other breeds. But low fowl prices have decreased the income from this source, em- phasizing the necessity for eco- nomical egg production. Present trends indicate that profit from the laying flock must come largely from egg production and poultrymen are looking to the light breeds and crosses with their lower maintenance re- quirements for more evomical egg production.
