"I do love my wife. She has her good points, and often she is very, very good to me. But some- times she is very difficult especially when she has had a few beers. She says hateful things, and attacks tie. I cannot predict nor understand her moods. .The last time, I slapped her, for which I'm awfully sorry. Now she says she hates nee, and won't ever forgive me.

A FRIEND" RESTRAINT AND PATIENCE * I can undestand how much you * want to save your marriage. * When one has had one un- * harpy experience, he or she usu- * ally learns that self-control and * patience are first essential to * congenial living, and front then * on resolve to practice both with * renewed determination. * Why don't you persuade your * wife to sit down and talk things * over, quietly an 1 without anger? * You will apologize for losing * your temper when she irritated * you, and that should bring her * regret for her own lack of self- * control, * Make an agreement: Give up * this drinking that aggravates your * quarrels, If you are unwilling to * do that, then promise each other * that words and conduct at such * times are not to be charged against each other. * It may be that your wife's * nerves are not under control and * that a doctor's opinion is in order. * Often one's own will power, * daily exercised, can prevent dis- * agreements from becoming vio- lent quarrels, and a sense of * humor can dispel resentment be- * before it grows dangerous. Why don't both of you make * this pact, and do your best to * live up to it? Your pride, and your wife's, * must recoil at admitting another * failure at marriage. If you will * both forget this most recent * scene, you should be able to ga- * then new courage to try again. * After all, you two are not in * your teens. You are supposed to * be adults, Isn't this the time to * act like it? * * A second marriage is the real test of one's wisdom and restraint.

FARM e Gwendoitr,.e D Cle,elt.e Marvellous! luso whole days without rain. We began to think the weather never would clear. Of course all the wheat is out in the field and sprouting in the sheaves. And the oats couldn't be cut when they should have been because the field was too wet to take the trac- or and binder in to cut it. But Part- ner says there is no need to worry —we have had seasons like this before and lived through it, and we can do it again. He says that but lie still hasn't convinced Inc he isn't worrying. However, a few more days of fine weather and we shall all feel more optimistic again —especially as yesterday we even managed to get the oats cut. And now Partner says the wheat is dry- ing out nicely and will be ready to come in on Monday. So much wet weather has cer- tainly,becn a headache and upset everyone's work schedule—to say nothing of the vacations it has spoilt. And, oli dear, the potato growers must be having quite a worrying time. I ant sure of it be- cause nearly every basket of pota- toes I have bought has had one or two rotten ones 111 it, And speaking of potatoes, do you remember a few months ago 1 was complaining because we never seem to get nice mealy potatoes any more. So often they are green or waxy; go black or have ring -rot. Or even if they have nothing the matter with 0110111 they still haven't any flavour. Apparently I an not the only one complaining as last week the Canadian Countryman had a long editorial all about the poor eating quality- of potatoes which, they too, put down largely to the in- creased use of commercial fertil- izer—used, of course, to insure big- ger potatoes and a larger yield per acre. The editorial points out that while this may sound like a good business practice, actually it is just the opposite as the consumer public is eating less and less potatoes every year due to their unappetis- ing quality. As you know it is impossible for anyone to know what kind of potatoes they are buying because most of those of- fered for sale look nice and are nearly always graded as to size. Even those with ring -rot look per- fectly sound in the early stages— until they are cut in half—and sometimes not until they are cook- ed. just a.; with cake—the proof of the potato is in the eating. Re- member how we used to look for- ward to new potatoes? New pota- toes and green peas were almost a steal in themselves—with butter, of course. Margarine wouldn't give 1110131 that certain flavour. But new potatoes are no treat these days— except the 'tome -grown variety, The Canadian Countryman thinks it is time growers started thinking about quality rather than quantity if they want to keep a good dome market, Just think—wouldn't it be nice if some of the big growers advertized their product this way —"Our potatoes are mealy and a good flavour. Om- soil has been tested anti the only commercial fertilizer We use is that recommend- ed for quality patatees—not quan tity." Wouldn't we beat a path to their door! Now is it Monday and Partner - has just come in with a few wheat heads in his hand — and loolcing very discouraged, Some of the ker- nels have sprouted and the rest shell out direcctly you touch there, True, it has happened before but not with operating expenses as high as they are today., We hate to thine what the tax hill will be when it comes, As for 1110 cost of living . , . well, enough said. But it is really rather funny—so many people think it is only town and city folic who are affected by the high cost of living, And yet country folk, because of the very nature of their work, are naturally very hearty eaters, You don't find farm- ers out to work on a breakfast of coffee and toast and marmalade! Well, I guess we have all been letting out our belts a bit in every way the last few years but now we may have to start pulling them in again rather drastically—espec- ialy if this Korean business gets really out of hand. We are sure the older generation can do it—but we just wonder if the younger crowd, who have grown used to easier times, better living ocnditions, shorter working hours, more pleas- ure and greater freedom—will they be as ready to tighten their belts? I doubt it — for one thing they won't realize the necessity until cir- cumstances practically- force them to it. In the end it may be a good thing. Adversity, not prosperity, shows if people, young and old, have what it takes, When we are forced to slow up we do it, just as the traffic is beginning to slow up on the highways. And that, you will agree, is one thing INT be thankful for, Here's A Boost For ! ! ! Castor Oil! Castor oil, to many small chil- dren at any rate, has only one use. and that an unpleasant one, Ritchie Calder, in a BBC Radio Program, spoke of new and mucic nicer uses to which it may shortly be put. Calder, who is Science Editor of the "News Chronicle," recently visited the Negev Desert in Israel. At the Weizmann Institute at Re- hevot the Director, .Dr. Borgman, told him that by fermenting castor oil plants they can provide the basis of a great plastics industry, includ- ing nylon, which is at present pro- duced either from petroleum or coal by-products, There was one use for nylon in the desert which interested Calder very much—that of combating the excessive saltiness of the ground. He explained that desert springs contain a small fraction of salt but under the intense sun evaporation is so rapid that the salt is deposited and accumulates in the soil. This poisons uwlsl crops, with the ex- teptinn of the thite palm, w111c11 just ignores salt and fresh water roiling up through this salted soil becomes salted in turn and useless for drinking or irrigation. Israeli scientists are trying to discover a method of sweeting this halted water and one nt0thocl they are trying is to cover the brackish soil with sheet nylon 111 the torn of furrows, The suit's rays evapor- ate the water through the nylon and condence it on the colder top surface of the material. Tlhe water then drips into the furrows and there they can have fresh soil and grow crops. Another problem that is being tackled is the rapid evaporation of reservoir water. The scientists are suggesting that tiny flakes of ny- lon sltould be used to float on and cover the surface of a reservoir to prevent evaporation. for nylon can be used either to produce o: retard evaporation. In the first case the transparent sheeting admits the heat rays, but in the second, the granules of nylon being pure white and opaque, they reflect the heat rays of the sun and so prevent evaporation from reservoirs. "All this is just to show you what you can do• with the desert when you show some scientific imagination," said Calder, T INDAY SO1001, LESSON 13y Rev. R. B. Warren, B.A., B,D. Mary, the Mother of Jesus Luke1:46-48; 2ac-51; Mark 3;31- 35; John 19.25-27; Acts y:14 Golden Text, My soul doth mag- nify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my saviour.—Luke 1:46-47. Mary was the most highly hon- oured of all woolen. She conceived of the Holy Ghost and bore the Divine -human child, Jesus. This child was the long awaited Messiah, the eternal God, made in the like- ness of man. He stands unique among all beings, At the age of 12, He understood something of His Divine mission. Mary did not un- derstand the full meaning of His question, "Wist ye not that I be about my Father's business?" but her to the discipe John, whom Ile She was one of three women who stood by the cross. There, amidst His agony and pain, Jesus demon- strated the meaning of honouring parenthood. As the oldest child, He provided for her keep. He entrusted her to the disciple John, whom He greately loved. She was a devout woman, continuing in prayer and supplication with the disciples after the resurrection and ascension of Jesus. But Mary and the brother of Jesus had to learn the lesson that He belonged to a bigger fancily than they represented. On one occa- sion they sent for Hint. But he did not leave the needy multitude, but asked, "Who is my mother or my brethern?" "And He looked round about on them which sat about Him, and said, 'Behold my mother and my brethern'. For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother". The implication is obv- ious. If we turn from sin and be - conte new creatures by faith in Christ Jesus, and thus proceed to do the will of God, then we enjoy close fellowship with the Savior. Those few who were of the family of Jesus according to the flesh have no priority over those to -day who do the will of God. All tvho serve Him will constitute His bride at His second coming in glory. Every than is to be respected as an absolute end in himself; and it is a crime against the dignity that be- longs to him as a human being, to use him as a mere ineans• for some ° external purpose. —Kant.
