NOT GOOD ENOUGH
"Dear Anne Hirst: Over a year
ago I fell in love with a nice boy,
but he is disappointing me badly.
He seldom takes me out, but if
I want to go to a show he will
pay my way. If I date anyone
else he throws a nasty scene and
embarrasses everybody.
—"But he dates other girls
whenever he feels like it! We
have broken off more than once,
but I love him, so I always take
him back. What shall I do?
R,T."
• It is well that you have come
• to your senses. A boy who
* blows hot and cold, who does
• as he pleases, but refuses you
* the same privilege cannot make
• any nice girl happy for long.
* Stop seeing him at all Don't
• accept any excuse that he of-
* fers. Tell him you are through,
* and mean it.
* Date other boys; soon. I hope,
* you will find one more sincere
* and reliable. This one is not
- good enough for you.

How Grandma Moses
Got Fier Start
When I was quite small my
father would get me and my
brothers white paper by the
sheet, it was used for news-
papers, He liked to see us draw
pictures, it was a penny a sheet
and it lasted longer than candy.
My oldest brother loved to draw
steam engines, that .was a hobby
with him, the next brother went
in for animals, but as for myself
I had to•have pictures the gayer
the better. I would draw the pic-
ture, then colour it with grape
juice or berries, anything that
was red and pretty in my way of
thinking. Once I was given some
carpenter's red and blue chalk,
then I was rich, children did not
have. so much in those days, we
appreciated what we did get, ,
I commenced to paint on sticks
of wood. Next summer I would
get pieces of slate and window
panes. Then I had some pretty
pictures. That was the time they
made fun of ate, I had some
"very pretty Iamb stapes," as
my brothers said I called them,
they had some brilliant sunsets.
and father would say, "Oh not
so bad." But mother was more
practical, thought that I could
spend my time other ways.—

�I1N�GeneeGERrserAI M
For the first time in—I don't
know how many days—we have
a lovely, bright, sunshiny day.
No wind, no rain, no tog, Marvel-
lous! it just nfakes you feel like
singing—"Oh what a beautiful
•morning, oh, what a beautiful
day; I have a wonderful feeling
everything's coming my way."
Maybe it isn't but hope never
hurt anyone yet. The rain -soaked
earth probably has that feeling
too and its way of .showing its
gladness is by helping the flowers
to bloom in joyous abandon. Yes-
terday we wandered part way
through a bush where we found
mayflowers, hepaticas, blood-
roots, early trillions and a few
species of wild flowers we did
not recognize. The purpose of
our visit to the woods was really
to settle an argument. • Arthur
insisted that mayflowers and he-
paticas were one and the same
flower. Daughter said they were
not, and I wasn't sure. So we all
piled into the car, including
Partner, a visitor and even Honey,
and we headed for the nearest
hush on high ground . , . no
swampy places after that rain,
There the argument was settled
by finding both mayflowers and
hepaticas, exactly fitting the des-
cription we had already looked
up in the encyclopaedia. Actually,
we could have Laken Daughter's
word for it because she certainly
knows her wild flowers. But it
was fun to find proof by seeing.
Dee and Art dug up a few roots
of this and that to take home
for their garden—but not trilli-
ums. Apart from flowers we are
always amused at the stuff city
folk like to take back with them
from the country. Yesterday it
was wild flowers and garden
flowers: roots and slips; rhubarb,
cream and eggs --but the two Met
items are always paid for. After
all they provide part of our in-
come -and we do have to live.
Too often farm produce is. look-
ed upon as nature's bounty by
visitors to the country who ofieu
think it strange if Mrs. Farmer
doesn't give them a parting gift
of something that has been
grown or raised on the farm.
Where is a surplus, that is just
fine, and it is generally gladly
shared, But if a salable product
is in question then city cousins
should at least be prepared to
pay for what they get at a whole-
sale level. After all, why should
a farmer, any more than a gro-
cer or a dry goods merchant, be
expected to give away his live-
lihood? Maybe 1 ate wrong -or
meaner than most but that is
the way I look at it — except, of
coarse, where there :is a case of
need; where 'we know the folk
in question are having quite a
time in making ends -meet; or
where there is, or has been,
iekness in the family. . Then we y
only tooto
are glad give what-
ever we feel is acceptable,
whether it be salable of not.
Daughter and I also liana an-
other way -of doing things. We
have a sort of barter. system.
When site is shopping if she sees
something she knows we want
put on as week-endspecial, she
buys it, brings it hame and takes
Oa value 10 eggs! And a cer-
tain amount of exchanging also

School is it Circus—Students at

antics under the big top.
ilies there is . often • something
that one person doesn't want that
another person can use. - One's
needs change with the passing
years. Back in the days when
every farmer's wife had to
think of threshing and c to r n-
cuttmg meals. it was necessary
to keep a good supply of dishes
on hand. Now, in many districts,
threshing gangs are a thing of
the past—a combine eats only
gas and oil, So, .unless they are
given away, surplus dishes are
stacked up, doing nothing better
than gathering dust,
Yes, it is easy to find new
homes for old things—in limited
numbers—hut not on a wholesale
scale. And so it is that when a
person has passed away we of-
ten come across that saddest of
'all domestic problems—what to
do with the unwanted furnish-
ings of a home. Perhaps the late
owner was a widow, or a widow-
er, living alone. The children are
married and have homes of their
own. They have no room for ad-
ditionol furniture. Few modern
* homes have an attic, some don't
even have a basement, there isn'-t
even room for storage. So, if an
estate must be settled there is
only one solution to the problem
—an auction sale. And, all the
dear, intimate things that have
been treasured through the year's
must go to the highest bidder.
If only more people would enjoy
their possessions in their own'
lifetime instead of putting them
away in mothballs, Think.. of the
silver, crystal and beautiful
quilts that ' are carefully nut
away .in- case they might get
broken or spoilt. Last. week 1
got, word that my one, remaining
brother had passed away in Eng
land, following a severe stroke.
He was recently widowed and
had abeautiful home. I hate to,
think of all the lovely things he
and his wife lead worked se hard
to acquire, and to save, now at
the mercy of the - auctieneer's
hammier. 'Let its make the best of
what we ]rave ---if they break or
wear out we shall at least have
had the enjoyment of timing them
as long as they tasted.

that of a group of 18 men; 9 fat
and 9 thin at the age of 40, there
will still be 9 lean men at 50 but
only 6 fat, At 80 there will be 3
lean and one fat man. The odds
