All bonds will he registered in the owner's name, giving him protection against loss .or destruction. They may be registered in the , names of both. adults and children. PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS By Harry J. Boyle I guess every farm community has a man who never seems to worry about his work on his farm. He amb- les along casually from day to day and week to week and year to year. His farm gets a little dirtier each year and the fences droop a little more and the shingles blow off the barn. He doesn't worry. Somehow or other he gets enough to eat, bestirring himself occasionally just in time to get some- thing harvested or making a little money out of a load of pigs or a few calves that have been running on the cows. In many cases he has a wife who industriously stirs the chickens up and gets enough from the cows to keep the place going. Red Sandy is a character in our community. He was fortunate enough to have a place left to him, almost clear of a mortgage. For the first two or three years after he married Jeanie, he worked in a quite industrious way. Slowly and surely however, a germ of tiredness seemed to permeate his sys- tem, His seeding was late one year and much later the next year. The har- vest was lost one year because of his tardiness. Next year he didn't put in as much and harvested only part of it. He seemed to discourage easily and gradually slipped into his role, Red Sandy became a character with his full red, whiskers and his wit. The strange part of the whole transform- ation was that while his body grew lazy, his mind certainly didn't. Red Sandy, lounging on the bench in front of the hotel in the village certainly could hold his own with anyone, no matter if they were drummers or local wits, intent on having a little fun at the expense of the slow moving farm- er, He helps all the neighbours. There isn't a bee for wood or threshing in the community that Red Sandy does- n't get an invitation to and attend. In fact, he often goes when his own work is waiting to be looked after. That doesn't matter to Red Sandy. There's conversation and good food at a bee and that's what Red Sandy is looking for at all times. During the winter Red Sandy plays his fiddle at all the dances. He is al- • ways willing and ready for a house party at any time. On Friday nights he plays for the dances in the Town- ship Hall. He plays very well too, Everybody knows him and he keeps tip a lively stream of repartee, direct- ing it to the dancers as they pass by platform,the cultural Representative. The Agricultural. once called on Red Sandy and gave him quite a lecture. Red Sandy listen- ed to it .all, smiled at the proper places, nodded head in agreement, chewed his tobacco and waited, When his vis- itor finished he said, "You see that farm down theroad there. That's the Leslie place and the fittest in the County. It's killed six generations of Leslie's. l'm livintr nrd well. So's my wife. I aim to stay that way. You go up and talk to Joe Leslie." Red Sandy Is slow but somehow or other everybody likes him and he's regarded with a certain tolerance on the part of all the neighbours, 14otel manager; "bid you find any of our towels in that that's suitcase,' Hotel detective: "No, but I found a thambermaid in his grip," Haselgrove's, SMOKE SHOP' -for - Smokers' SUNDRIES MAGAZINES SOFT DRINKS HAMILTON OPTICAL CO.
