The authorities in choosing these female keepers of the peace say they dont want the vinegary spinster nor the middle aged fanatic, but broad minded, kindly, sensible women. That sounds all right and should help out in many a difficult task. ONE of the old high wheel bicycles and a woman with long hair and a long dress are among the "attractions" of the d.y. Fnuny how fashion sets the pace. Very few men now wear side.buru whiskers or a goa'ee. Why ? Because they are not the style. The old phaeton buggy, the Mug sleigh or the bouncing gig have been sbewed off the road by the sedan and touring car. The Goddess of Fash- ion rules the realm. Liam., air, pure water and milk, with plain food and proper clothing are said to be six rules to promote and prolong a vigorous condition of health, Late hours, lack of proper exercise, a pleas. ure-mad program and a forgetfulness of others are the pathways leading to the road whose terminal is disaster, disap- pointment and premature death. "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall be also reap" is just as true today as it was 2000 years ago when affirmed. Ira fine to read of the good work done for the children of the cities, during the sunsmer months, in the way of bettering health conditions and affording innocent amusement. We sometimes wonder why the great yearning to get to the city exists. Hundreds of people would be infinitely better off if they had continued to five in rural communities. Like the story of the spider and the fly, however, folk dont seem to want to take heed of the experience of others but must test it out for themselves.. Its not all gold that glitters in the city any more than in the countryside, and the problems of the larger centres are neither few nor easily solved, BY way of stirring up a little interest in somewhat sluggish causes the Grits and the Tories are putting on a short series of picnics and community gather- ings, where party leaders are the speak- ers. A union of these 2 parties at these talk.fests might make more interesting programs and also prove that neither were able to paint as pretty political pictures jointly as when tackling the job singly, Electors rather relish the politicians who give credit when itis due, irrespective of party lines, and do not condone crokedness in their own sheepfold while they are red hot to con- demn it in the other fellows, The old hidebound partisan of years ago hada time sometimes to honestly square air. cies of Itis own clique, yet be sometimes took the dose rather than be thought to be anything but a regular tiara blue.

That's the way to purify polities and keep the standard beyond reproach. The good of the people as a whole and the betterment of community interests is what is needed no matter who rules at Ottawa or Totonto, and those who play false to the bast interests of the country should be shown to the door and perhaps helped out with the toe of a boot as a hint to them and those who look on. Mantaa practice of speaking well of your .neighbors and your community Nothing sills out brotherliness quicker than commuuicy spats and refusal to ipaak or chum with the folk in your neighborhood. Nobody wants to be 1 sided up with the scandals or failures of people. Plain speech and good back- bone, with a willingness to forgive and forget are often traits of character posses- sed by real men and women. The nar- row, fault finding. pessamistic people who always see the bad and seldom the good side are dead weight for any local- ity to carry. Boost everything that is worthy and forget that you are the only pebble on the beach Story Worth Remembering "THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT." Mrs. Mack had moved into a new neigborhood. Next door lived a lit- tletle dot of a women, with a six-foot husband. The little wife had eyes that looked as if tears were never far away ; the pallid face that accom- panies fear ; and a timid, shrinking manner. Mrs. Mack tried to be friendly. The neighbor was grateful but uncom- municative. The "run-in•and-see-me" invitations of the neighbors were never extended. The explanation came very shortly, as the six-footer lurched down the street and staggered into the horse, banging the door after him. UNAVOIDLeD LISTENING IN Loud talking followed—though only one voice was audible—Louder— Angrier.—Then the crash 1 crash 1 crash 1 of furniture and crockery. To Mre. Mack, tense and nervous, and boiling over with wrath and sym- pathy, it seemed an eteloity before silence fell. No—she dare not go in to comfort tha terror-stricken little woman, who tried to hide her shame from all eyes ; but that night—and many subsequent nights—Mrs. Mack relieved her over- wrought nerves by telling her good man what she'd like to do to that six- footer, and the whole iniquitous drink traffic. A REVOLUTION Mrs. Mack moved to another part of the city and lost sight of her sor- rowful neighbor. The war came— then Prohibition. Within the laat six months Mrs, Mack was in a city store, when she found herself side by side with that little dot of a woman. With her was the six-footer, but so changed be would have been unrecognized but for his tiny partner. And they were together 1—a thing none of the old neighbors had ever seen 1 As they shopped he deffered to her opinions. She looked so sweet and cheery and happy and he ao proud of her, Mrs, Mack quiteforgot the men- tal thrashings she had time and again administered to him. "Come and see us—do some. We have a business and a house of our own now, and are getting on well," said the small matron.

In 1874, in company with the late Hon. W. D. Balfouh, he founded The Amherstburg Echo, a weekly news- paper, which occupies a unique pee! - tion in the jimenaliatic field, in that it has never missed an issue in the 50 years of its existence. In politics Mr. Auld was a strong advocate of the policies of Hon. Gena Brown, and during his 12 years in the Legislature, from 1896 to 1998, enjoy- ed the highest confidence of his lead• et e.

Interior view of one of the new lunch counter V ears operated on Canadian Pacific lines. Harvesters' train leaving Ste. Anne 2c Bellevue. -- Cutting of all wheat is expected to begin within about a week, says a report of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, and as a rule fall wheat is looking very promising. Western reports are also very encouraging, but just what the har- vest is expected to be will not be generally known until representatives of the three prairie Provin- cial Governments and the two railroads meet in Winnipeg to discuss the labor situation and the best means of securing help to harvest whatever crop there is. However, the crop reports issued to date by the Agricultural Department of the Cana- dian Pacific Railway have, been very optimistic and this company is already gathering and distri- buting equipment to various points in anticipation of a heavy movement of harvest workers. The movement of harvesters has developed into quite a department in railroad transportation offices. As once the movement' starts it must be rushed through to completion as speedily and effec- tively as possible, the attention of a large staff of men is concentrated for nearly a month before, during and for some time after the rush on assem- bling equipment, distributing it to the various parts of the country from whence the harvesters are drawn, making up the special trails, securing supplies for the lunch cars, and the hundred and one things which have to be looked after in order to ensure smooth running and of which the travel- ler usually knows nothing and probably cares less; During the last four years the Canadian Pacific Railway has handled some 86,000 west -bound har- vesters. Last year this Company inaugurated the Y ee.i, f'i,nniar nae whish afforrlevi tarn ?tilts hither - Interior view of Colonist car used on harvesters' triune tounknown to excursionists and, although perhaps not as a direct result of this innovation, over 26,000 men travelled in special trains' over Cana- dian Pacific lines. This year the Company is making practically the same preparation as last. As soon as it is known just how many are required to work in the harvest the excursions will be arranged and trains made up. The excursions originate from as far east as the Maritimes and as far weat as the border of Ontario, but all are of the same type as far as rail equipment is concerned. Colonist cars are used which afford comfortable seating during the day, facilities .are afforded those who wish to prepare their own meals in a small kitchen at the end of each car, and at alight bunks may be pulled down as an upper berth or the seats extended to afford comfortable sleeping quarters. The lunch counter car in which as many as fifty men can take a meal at the same time is an important section of the train. The travel- ling harvester is sure of being able to secure a meal to suit his purse and of the food supplied him being of good quality and served in a sani- tary manner. Last year this department on Cana- dian Pacific lines served over two hundred thou- sand meals, and the experiment was so much appre- ciated, and proved such a success that it has now became a regular institution. Old timers travelling west now -a -days regard the trip as a holiday and the number of women and children who have been seen travelling with the harvesters since the standard of service ren- dered has been what it now is, has increased to a remarkable demo. 0404 en through the yeat'e, 11allinit to see him In Attilterdtbur'g last June, John A, Auld wee a line mat) who did his part well at his poet of duty.
