BLOWING WITH XYGEN properly prompted the use of the, word "turnip" in describing it. The old turnip told no time any nicer than story-time, which aaw a couple-of young Ones up on the 'knees of one or, another of these uncles. A small head could • lean 'over, and hear the turnip ticking in its,. pocket. Since the long -chain on it was hitched securely, ...it was permis-, sible•tObring the•watch out and look at it, because it,couldn't be dropped, The chain ran through one of the buttonholes in the vest. On the other end a 'gentle- man could, snap any of several possible adornments, a favourite being a:penknife, Whatever it was, it, served 'to' keep that end of the chain secure in the' other pocket," so the, whole., hting look-, ed like a barrier over a 'drive= way,. A. beautiful' silver chain, which I have here, relic of one of the, uncles, •has a smooth SwisS - watch-on- one end, a fingernail clip' on the other, and , in 'the center the beautifully fashioned head of, a, mastiff, This uncle used to say this was his watch dog, Another, chain, also a relic, is fthi/ok 'gold, heavy enough to, tether a real dog, and the watch is the sort' of thing, prosperous., prospectorg'.wore as , a badge of their success,- Stem wind, it has, a little, lever. you "mist ,pull out, before you can set it.

Then it came' over behind the boat • where 'Mr. Rupp and his wife Were sitting in the rear." Suddenly, Tizzie attacked, Hiss, ing furiously', his great Wings flapping, his beak darting in and out, he drove himself right tip into the boat itself. "Mrs. Rupp became frighten- - ed," said Stobbe, "She screamed and dropped to her knees On the bottom of the boat, Mr, Rupp stood up to' protect her . fell .

FREE. ENTERPRISE: Chinese peasants are urged to raise their own livestock and'vedet-b'es ---,and to keep the profits., . . .Remember The Old. 'Turnip" Watches?. Thoughts leap from bough to bough, and it occurs to me that today's growing children wouldn't know what a watch chain is - not the way we used, to be conversant with them, The vest is gone, the watch is gone, and the whole thing came to my mind when I read that Masonry in Maine is 200 years old this. year, My first acquaintance with this ancient order came, of course, when sat as a half-boy, half-baby on my Wild West uncle's lap and fondled the vast watch charm that hung from the heavy-linked gold chain across his expansive (and he said expensive) proscenium: The G, I, was told, stood for gimlet, and the cryptic letters around the reverse reminded us that, "King Solomon Had Twen- ty Wives, Some Say Thirty," 1. had plenty of uncles, and all of them had Watches, and all of. them had- equally mysterious watch charms dangling from the same kind of heavy gold chains. The Odd. Fellow uncle wouldn't tell me much about the three links, but the- Knights of Pythias uncle freely confided. that the F. C, and B. stood for Fresh Country Butter. Well, • nowadays the- growing,. child- doesn't even know what fresh country butter is. The watch that went with. this fron- tal adornment snuggled in a vest pocket, and bore -little relation- ship to 'one of -the timepieces advertised today, It w a s not waterproof and shockproof, you couldn't get 'along without wind- ing a'-" it w1 =.-r zize;.thaI ••-• • ' *MOO .1gA tte• t • • • ' The vellowship of Love 1 John 3; 11.18; 4;7-5;3, Memory Scripture: Let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and In truth. 1 John John, in his Gospel record tells of Jesus` emphasis on the new birth in his conversation with Nicodemus (chap, This truth of the needed change in man's nature is basic in John's teach- ing his epistles. He writes, "He that committeth sin is of the devil; - whosoever is born of God cloth not commit sin," Much of today's teaching speaks glibly of sinning Christians, One won- ders how he might distinguish between a sinning Christian and a Christian sinner. Again, John says, "Whosoever is born of God overcometh the world." Another note struck by John in this lesson and often over- looked today is that of assur- ance. "He that believeth on the Son of God bath the witness in himself." Many people feel that, at the best, our hope for happi- ness in the future life, is pretty much of a gamble. This is not John's viewpoint. He believes in the witness of the Holy Spirit with our spirit, Supporting this is the outer expression of obedi- ence to Gad's command, moti- vated by love. This does not *ex- clude the possibility of error but it does ensure proper motivation. This, love is subject to tests and proofs. It cannot reach up- ward to God unless it reaches outward to man, And there is a double! check on this double up reach or outreach. Beginning With, love to man the proof is "If .we love ,one another, God' dwelleth 'in us, and his love is perfected in us." Approaching from .the opposite direction, the proof reads, this we know that we love, the children of God,, when we love God, and ..keephiS commandments." Again, love has the' proof of practical:; ,, deeds. "Whoso bath this -',Werld!s; THEFARM FROM Jokuvussai A firm market is in prospect fpr Canadian wheat.

King John to sign on a June day at Runny- mede, on the Thames, 747 years ago, Some historians feel certain, that one day these long-lost cop- ies will come to light. Others believe they are lost for ever. King John "signed" the Magna Carta, a priceless piece of sheep- skin that has affected the lives of more people than any written document except the Bible, by affixing his seal to it - yellow wax embossed with a replica of his own figure on horseback in full armour, The king could not write his name, nor could he read. So the. Charter was taken away to be copied by monks in order that every important town and city should have its own. Today, only four of these orig- inal copies are known to be in existence, but what happened to all the others? It's a mystery, The four are so treasured that they are closely guarded night and day. Two are in the British Museum, one is in Salisbury Cathedral and one in Lincoln Cathedral, The most perfect copy is the Lincoln one, It was loaned for exhibition at the New York World Fair 11.11039 and remained in America f o r safekeeping throughout the war, While in the U.S. it was seen 'by 15,000,000 people.

The knurls on the stem have long since worn smooth, and it takes a firm grasp and a dry finger to wind it now, I learned to tell time by that watch, as my uncle let me fon- dle it, on condition that I would memorize the numbers and tell him when it was bedtime. My bedtime. You may be interested in knowing that sentimental use of these watches today is impracti- cal, for reasons of repair. The- experience I have had is that watch shops either don't want to fiddle with them, or don't know how, In general, they take the cover off, peer in through their little glass knotholes, and quote you a cleaning price that is larg- er th'an the cost of a new watch which is shockproof, waterproof and self-winding. If any major work is necessary, they beg off on an estimate at all and go into a cost-plus plan. 'Long ago I took both my uncles' watches to a shop, had them put in good. condition, and then laid them away for future times to decide what to do with them. At about• that time the vest began to lose ground, and I bought some pants that had no watch pocket at all. 'This brings us to the fob, The watch fob might be an ornate item, or it could be, a piece of rawhide with a bullet tied to it. It' was a kind of handle which hung down, and by grasping it you could draw your watch from the watch pocket of your pants and see what time it might be.' The fob was to those 'watches what the bracelet is to ,a wrist watch, sort of, and it .could be a shoestring chain-knotted, or it could ,be tolled leather with an embossed initial or the seal of your college.
