Helpful Hints If a drawer or door pull has come loose because the screw has worn a hole too large to grip the wood, an easy remedy is plastic wood. Fill the hole, let it harden for a few hours, then screw the knob in place, Plastic wood handles like putty and hardens into wood, * When stitching fabrics made of a synthetic fibre, the thread should also be of a man-made fibre. Otherwise, seams may pucker or, if the fabric is long- wearing and the thread is not, seams will pop long before the garment is worn out, VA 5113 IVX 219NO M-1 5 NIS >11 A V .1.

But the Jews are an enterprising people. For so many centuries without a homeland, when driven from one country, they are eoon doing a successful business In another. For Aquila and Priscilla, their explusion from Rome had a happy sequence. As they worked at their trade of tentmaking in Corinth, they were joined bar Paul who had the same trade. For a year and a half Paul preached in Corinth, When he left for Ephesus, Aquila and Priscilla accompanied him, They remained there when Paul pro- ceeded to Antioch, In Ephesus this consecrated couple performed an important service to Apollos, an eloquent man, and mighty in the Scrip- tures, who came to Ephesus. Apollos knew of the baptism unto repentance for sins. Aquila and Priscilla expounded to him the way of the Lord more per- cate bales of hay or grain cut for feed, Farmers working their lands for summer fallow leave beau- tiful designs similar to the braid loops on a military uniform.

There were browns and yellows, with little green; writes Bicknell Eubanks in the Christian Science Monitor. Some of these are patches of wheat and coarse grains, such as oats and barley, that manag- ed to head up and will be in condition to harvest. A lot of it never came to proper fruition, or it may be too short, with weeds growing amidst the grain. It will be cut and baled for feed for stock during the winter, It catches and holds the few rains that come down, and it acts as a "seal" to keep subsurface moisture from being drawn to the surface and evaporated, A side effect, equally important, develops from the light color of the surface. This tends to reflect much of the intense heat of the blasting summer sun. No longer is the old "black" summer fal- low considered the hallmark of a good farmer. Despite the drought, farmers are busy. The designs they make in their fields, discernible from the air, mark the kind of work they are doing. A continuous line indicates swathing or mow- ing for hay.

Henry Hankdoodle, who has gone over his book quite a way, and after many years of labor and profit has kind of retired, He thought he would not mow his fields this year, having disposed of the stock, so he began look- ing around for somebody who would do it and haul away the hay, "I wonder if you'd like to have my hay?" was the way he'd start negotiations whenever a likely chance showed up, and for a time this didn't promote any response. Well, this is expectable, Men were cutting their home places before they looked outside, and the weather had everybody about two weeks late anyway. One man had his machinery all off on the other side of town, and so on. But a good farmer who has some nice hay likes to see it cut before the juices all dry up, so Henry Hankdoodle kept asking. Free hay seemed hard to give away, somehow. Finally, and every word I say is true, he came to Meritorious Goodfellow (called Merit for short), and Merit took most kind- ly to the proposal and said to Henry, "Now I'll see that it gets cut. Just go home and stop think- ing about it, and it'll get cut!" Mr. Goodfellow is a nice man. So in the next few days Henry Hankdoodle would be sitting in his big kitchen window enjoying the leisure of having no hay to cut, and he would look up and see some stranger going through his dooryard, down into the hay- fields to look around, Henry wondered why it took them so long to decide. His hay was very good hay, except the little five-acre piece by the brook. This piece' hadn't been ' turned over for many years, and it had come in to hardhack and blue- berries, and mowing it was just housekeeping. The hay wasn't worth the time; but it looked bet- ter to cut it, The young stock mouthed it over and got some good of it, and what they left made good bedding, The tail goes with the hide, as they say. For the sake of the fine, tall hay on his other fields, anybody would be glad to knock down those five acres. So one morning a man who said his name was CaS Stranger knocked on Henry's door and said, "I'm going to cut your hay," and Henry walked up through the fields with him, showing him the right places, to cross the swales and, things like that Afterward, a whole array of ma, chinery was brought on-tractor- mower, sidewinder rake, baling machine, trucks, and a station wagon with the lunches, For four days, which, happened to be sun- ny and good drying days, labor continued. Handsome bales of sweet-made hay were trucked off the farm, and as they went by Henry reflected on all the years he had been building his land up to produce such, good fodder, For the sake of keeping his grassland cleared, he had just given away a year's pay - enough hay to keep a large and profitable herd all winter. Good thing' he didn't need the money, he told himself. And just about the time the last of the hay was being loaded on the truck Henry discovered that his brookside meadow of hardback and blue- berry bushes hadn't been mowed! Henry thereupon said to Mr. Stranger, "You didn't mow the five-acre piece." "No," said Mr. Stranger, "That's a little rocky in there, and the hay ain't worth much, so we left it," Realizing all at once that something had gone wrong in his bargaining, Henry Hankdoodle was dismayed, and could only say, "But, I wanted everything mowed and cleaned up!" Mr., Stranger, whoever he was, seem- ed disinterested, and drove away. Henry felt, really, that he was being put upon, so he went over to see Merit Goodfellow and told him so. "I can't help feeling that the back field ought to be mowed to," he said, "Why of course it should," said Merit Goodfellow. "There's no reason why Stranger shouldn't have cut that, too. Go home and forget about it, see that some- body cuts it, I'll take care of everything." So Henry Hankcloodle went home and a few more good hay- ing days came and went With- out any special activity, and then it came off to a lowery morning. Henry was sitting in his big kitchen window again, and he saw Mr. Stranger come into the yard. Mr. Stranger thumped on the back door, and said, "I've come to mow that back .field." "Good," said Henry. "I just stopped by to talk to you about if first, so there wouldn't be any misunderstand- ings," "Misunderstandings about what?" asked Henry, - "Well, about my price.. I get three dollars and ninety cents an hour for my time and machinery. 'Course, I don't know how long it'll take, but I'll use you right on hours." . "You'll, use me right!" said Henry. "What kind of right is that? You've just hauled most 5,000 bales of hay off this farm free of charge, and now you want to hold me up for a couple-hours'. mowing? What kind of right is that?" "You got this -all wrong," said Mr, Stranger. "I paid Merit Good- fellow for every bale I took, and I don't owe you nothin'. I just heard you wanted that field mowed, and I'm trying to be neighbourly." it. . . at three-ninety an hour," said Henry Hankdoodle, and he went into his kitchen and sat down in his rocking chair by the big window, and he rocked and rocked and thought and thought, - By John Gould in the Christian Science Monitor. The real impact of the drought which blankets the prairie prov- inces of Canada, choking off and drying up lakes, ponds, sloughs, and dugouts, shows up vividly in the hills of south- eastern Saskatchewan near the Manitoba border, This is lake country. But scores of the little lakes have shrunk to only fractions of their normal size, In some cases they have disappeared, leaving only alkali patches in their wake. * This is the Moose Mountain country. It is ordinarily a ver- dant land. It is a land of tall trees and a lot of brush. It is a land of recreation as well as farming and ranching. Moose Mountain Provincial Park lies in the middle of it. The park is the choicest of the lands down here, a little over 50 miles above. the Canadian-United States bor- der and about 70 miles east of Weyburn, Sask. Moose Mountain is a large promontory rising about 1,000 feet above the flat prairie land. It is the highest point between Saskatchewan's Cypress Hills and Manitoba's Riding Moun- tain. It was a favorite fishing and hunting area for the Indians - the Crees and others, whose area the pastures of Moose Moun- tain and its lakes make excellent facilities for ranching, when moisture is normal. * * One of the ranches down here is owned by John B. Minor, who also operates a bigger ranch in southwest Saskatchewan, north of Swift Current in the Great Sand Hills, Flying across the southern part of the province, he ex- plained that much less land is needed to graze one animal on his Moose Mountain ranch than. on his much bigger ranch in the Sand Hills. 4, e* The flight across the southern part of Saskatchewan gives a clear picture of the impact of a year of drought. The picture is spotted, Some areas will produce a fairly good wheat crop, such as north of Weyburn, where as much as, 20 bushels of grain per acre may be harvested. These are areas which had timely rains - enough to replace at least in part the moisture literally sap- ped from the ground and wheat stems by unusually high temper- atures this summer. The flight, in Mr. Minor's Cessna 172, followed a course which was almost a straight line from the 'original. Minor place 25 miles west of Cabri, Sask. This randh has been in the fam- ily since Mr, Minor's father came to Canada from Nebraska in the early 1900's, * • The younger Mr, Minor, in his mid 30's, a leader in cattle raising and a growing influence in provincial arid national af- fairs, feels that in some ways the drought has been overem- phasized. He feels it is serious, But he feels that published re ports have tended to give the wrong impression and have led readers in other parts of Canada and the United' States to think of the Vast wheat arid ranching area of the northern Great Plains as orie big desert land, with dust blowing and vegeta- tion almost all gone, 'In this he agrees with the Saskatchewan Stock GrOWerS Association, of which he is a director, The group feels that the seriousness of the present aitiratien has been overempha= * "While the satiation it far from desirable, it is not THOSE WHO STAND AND WAIT --- An East German family stands behind' a barbed w'rei fence thrown across., the line separating Et-AO, Berlin the Allied sector of West Tt&3 iiieMbitirsi of the totiiiiitittilif ii`ii6pie's relic.

VVOInt:Pn .Pe4troctign Of Airtinica Naturalists oh over the world were elated recently at the birth of a whooping crane America's rarest And tallest bird - in the New Orleans .Z'v).. Why?' Because these birds with their snow- nit'e plumage seem- ed likely to become as extinct as the .dodo, Some scientists. were beginning. to call them "modern dodos." Short of the hatching of a dinosaur egg, no other, event in the animal world could have given bird-lovers a greater thrill, There are only seven whooping cranes in captivity and only forty still alive throughout the. world. It's these great birds' resonant. trumpet-like cry that gives them their name, On windless days it can be heard three miles off. Man's interference often leads to the wiping out of wild crea- tures; but the dodo is extinct because he allowed himself to forget the art of flying and gradually lost his wings. So when European sailors came to their homes in Mauritius they were able to kill and eat them whole- sale until the last one had gone. Experts warn that the horse may soon become extinct. But "soon," according to a famous geologist, "mean a within ten or twenty million years," Two famous Austrian wild creatures. the duck-billed platy- pus and the facinating little koala bear, reached the point of near-extinction a few years ago, Only drastic protection measures saved them from disappearing from the earth. From the Turkish coast conies news that the eleven-foot-long monk seal, once common. on the Mediterranean coasts, may be near extinction. Some Egyptian fishermen found a female monk seal near Port Said some years ago and thought that it had somehow wandered there from the Arctic. They packed the creature in ice and consigned it by railway to Alexandria for examination. The journey killed it, Naturalists are unanimous in asserting that man's craze for wanton destruction was the cause of the annihilation of the beauti- ful bird known as the great auk, or garefowl.. Since its extinction - the last specimen. was clubbed to death by fishermen in 1844 on Eldey, a rocky isle off the south-west coast of Iceland. -. more books have been written about it than about any other bird. The men who killed the last specimen, on an island inhabited mainly by gannets, thought it was a witch! About eighty skins or stuffed specimens of the great aulc sur- vive in the museums of the world. to-day - the sole remains of a species - which once could be numbered by the million.
