"This is just like being home
Bill Watson occasionally gets fed up or
that out-of-town job.' Work is oppressive.
His pals are dull. Meals are tasteless. The
outlook, generally, is bilious. Good, old-
fashioned homesickness, that's what it
really is — and 13i1l has a sovereign
remedy, once he has diagnosed the case:
a long distance call home. And it costa
so little, too, that he has decided to fore-
stall attacks by a regular schedule of
weekly calls.
Bill's ideas are right in line with the rest of the
family. The AWatsons have conte to appreciate
fully the comforts, conveniences and low cost of

And that is fine. But we were just
wondering if it was all true. Ws
happened to be on a farm the other
day and it was a little too wet to do
much out doors. The farmer had a
box wagon in a shed and he was
fixing It up a little and when that
was done he said it was about time
to put some grease On/ the axles.
We were a little bit curious about
the manner in which he would do it
because we know how it used to be
done on the Tenth Concession,
What used to be Called greasing the
wagon wheels was one job which
grand -father always insisted should
be clone regularly, but one job which
he never cared to do himself. Auy
person who happened to be running
loose at the time could do that job.
There used to be a wooden jack that
stood on a little platterm and with
that the .wheel was raised high
enough to take it off, Then there
was generally some niud. and •stun'
to dig out first be'lore getting the
nut og and slidenb the wheel out.
Directions on the grease pall used
to say something about wiping t11e
old grease off before applying the
new, bet that was not the chief cnn-
ceru because the jack was fairly old
and now anti then it used to slip out.
