We remark- ed to a very small lad, who was far too young for school, that it was a very hot day. We could hardly credit our ears, when we heard him snap back, "You aren't telling me anything, Mis- ter"! We wondered if we had spoken by chance to a smart alec, so we made the same remark a few minutes later to another little boy about the same tender age. To our amazement, he shot back ,"you can double that, Mis- ter". We didn't try the expirment again, for we had no desire to hear any more such pert, if not impertinent, remarks ,from such little tots. When we were the age of those lads, we were as full of fun and life as they, and knew all the ".language" of that day too; but we were never impert- inent to our elders, Maybe that was because our parents never used "Bow- ery language", and we knew that slang was crude and impolite. Our Dad was our patterns and we followed his ex- ample, and we believe the little lads of today follow their Dads' example too. One day, more recently, we were talldng to a war veteran, just south of the Town Hall. We heard a ter- rific clatter coming along the narrow sidewalk past the Armouries, The "Vet" remarked, "what in thundera- than is that noise"? As the distur- bance came nearer and grew steadily noiser, he said, 'it sounds like a troop of eavalry on a cobble-stone road over in Europe", • We looked westward towards the noise and beheld two very young ladies, certainly not over five years of age, dressed. in long dresses, resemb- ling evening gowns, and wearing ill- fitting, high-heeled shoes. They wore make-up of lip-stick and rouge, and they carried on an animated conver- sation as they strutted along past us,. They daintily, though very noisly, threaded their way across the main street, and went into the Post Office, We concluded that we had seen your echo, Mrs, Parent, Children hear, remember and imitate every word, act and look of their parents, The youngsters are just the echo of their parents. * INTERNATIONAL PLOWING MATCH ' The International Plowing Match that was held recently at Port Albert was a great success in every way. It was sponsored by the Ontario Plow- men's Association and it has develOped into a specialized fall fair, as well as a • famous plowing'mateh. Over more than thirty years, this has become one of the greatest con- tests of its kind in the world, and it is a great distinction to win a champion- ship at this plowing match. Agriculu- ture is the oldest of the Arts of man- kind, and its origin is lost in the mists of antiquity. Of its many - compon- ent parts, none is more important than plowing, as the basic- preparation for seeding and ultimately harvest. The plow is a glorified hoe, and was invented by the agrarian Egyptians, some thousands of years ago. Within the last hundred and fifty years, Brit- ish ingenuity developed the modern mould-board plow. "Plowing a straight furrow" is one of the primary requisites for a cham- pion,.plowman at a plowing match, and it is a phrase often used to sum up a good man's character, and as a philoso- phy of life. However, we should re- member that, in hilly or even markedly undulating country, contour plowing is a benefit, and often absolutely essen- tial. Straight furrows look nice and are splendid for level land; but on hilly For Your BUILDING, CARPENTERING Repair Work Built-in. CUPBOARDS S E E — Bennett & Castoffs 'Phone 447 Wingham.

Next to Lyceum 'Theatre VVINGHAM land the furrows shbuld curve around the breast ofthe slope, to prevent the rapid run-off of rain, and to reduce the rate of erosion, It matters little whether the furrows are "stood up", as many plow in Ontario, or are laid down", as many plow in Western Can- ada; the main thing is to plow the best way to suit the soil and contour of the land, and to make a good job of it. Different districts and lands have different needs and sta,pdards by which plowing is judged; but neatness is a prime essential everywhere. This part of Western Ontario has been honored and fortunate in having the International Plowing Match in our district this year. Only superlatives can adequately describe its success, and they include, "BEST International Plowing Match ever', ,9,3.E.sT display of farm machinery", "BEST display of laboar-saving house and farm appli- allcgS", "LARGEST crowds", "BEST Parking facilities", "BEST radio • cov- erage, eta.
