Apart from the inward joy, that epmes from these silent. vlotories, the strengthening of the will gets one on In the world and opens the way to happleese. For flap• pinese never comes by searching for it: it is a by-product as it were; it comes sideways from doing something else as well a5 we can, such as dee in and day out cultivating the will- power. Now let me sound a note ofviarniug, Will -power le not obstinacy. If you find that what You thought was will- power is becoming obstinacy, and hurt- ing those you lave, wipe the slate clean and begin again. Finally, remember that if you want to fashion' your will into something, fine and strong, begin at once, and be- gin with the little things. Better -Grade Mowers Keep Lawns Velvety. Much of the success in establishing a level,' velvety stretch of lawn de- pends upon the mowing. The main need Is a good lawn mower: There are scores of lawn mowers on the'mar- ket, but It will be economy in the long tau to get a good mower. The main tactor In selecting a mower is the quality of steel in the blades. Will they stand sharpening? Many of the cheap grades of mowers won't. When the first edge is worn off they never perform up to the mark again, despite earnest sharpening. The result la a ragged -looking lawn atter the mower goes over It. and the thicker and more luxuriant the growth the worse the job. A first-class high- grade mower is rather expensive, but it is better to club with a neighbor and gat a good mower than to waste n_oney on a bargain counter machine that won't hold up over summer. Find out what sort of steel is in the blades and get the dealer's word for it before tak- ing aking it away from the stare. Mowers with , good ;teal blades which will take sharpening, run twice as easily as tbo poorer grades, and there is great saving in time, labor and nerves. A cheap mower is poor econ- omy. A last sprinkling of nitrate will be a help to the grass at this stage, to keep up the spring rush. ,Sprinkle it sparingly, but as evenly as possible, and be sure that all lumps are broken fine. The lawn will need no more nitrate until the dry weather hits it and it be- gins to turn sere. Then give It light dressings before wetting it down with the sprinkler.T I The Hammer Campalgn, 1 1 1 Politician -"Seen that lie about us the repo -Rion tacked up around town?" 2nd I Politician -"i have that!" 1st Politician --•-"Well, I've nailed it!"

The Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Dept. of the Interior at Ottawa says: Are Canadians loyal to their own vegetable and fruit growers? A. glance at the reports of foreign vegetables and fruits imported into this country gives reason for serious thought as to whether we are giving our qwn prgd}55e the support it de- ser`"vee, ox whether thee are not culti- vating an extravagant taste for outs of -season and imported vegetables and fruits. For instance, in the month of Janu- ary of thls year, we bought from the United States 2,086,665 pounds of ordinary potatoes, valued at $25,872, he a year when there were ample sup. p1104 - of Canadian potatoes available, while in January of 1924 we bought but 95,865 pounds, valued at 92,841. We bought 92,842 worth of cabbage in January this year, against 91,780 last Januaxy. In the past fiscal year we bought outside of Canada 1,084,868 bushels of ordinary potatoes, valued at 9885,497, and cabbage valued at 9258,879 or more than a million dol. lars spent outside gf this country for these two vegetables, while we had plenty of then at home. Por canned vegetables, such as beans, peas, corn and tomatoes, we spent $601,675 In the twelve months outside of Canada. In fruits, we bought in the United States in the twelve menthe 172,101 barrels of ap, pees, for which we paid $8317,826 and we else bought 1,021,084 pounds of dried apples, worth 932,906, Or 9900,- 882 for imported apples, while Can- ada holds the world's record for qual- ity, and has ample supplies, Other fruits which we bought in large quan,. i titles were, plums, 9838,912), -•(41v„ berries, 970;,598; pears, 98O'7,95@l peaches, $609,818; grapes, f§62,2e8, For bananas we paid 114,194, 17, for oranges $6,409,805, and for lereeme This large quantity of vegetables and fruit wee purchased by Canadians in large part while the fruit growers of Canada were searching for markets in which to sell their products, Canada is so geograpileelly 511901'. ed that she is, for n portjpei of the year, dependent for variety in fresh fruits on more southerly countries, but there appears to be a tendency to unduly cultivate the taste for Import- ed fruit. Undoubtedly a great per for these products could be spent with our own vegetable and fruit growers, to he t benefito original f the or a gi n1 giowors, and of the country as a whale.
