When I offered potatoes to five-year-old' David, whether baked, mashed, or cream- ed, he refused them and I felt all my efforts were in vain writes L. B. in The Christian Science \Ioni- tor. Then one day I asked him if he'd like "'tato in a shell." He was full of enthusiasm as he watched me mash the potato, season it with butter and salt, and then fill the two baked skin halves -the shell. It was a delicious luncheon treat. When we had mashed potatoes I used my thinking cap to over- rule a vehement "no" by filling an ice cream cone with a scoop of potato all seasoned with salt, butter, and a dash of paprika. I presented it to outstretched hands) Next I learned that creamed po- tatoes which were in a dixie cup were a joyous surprise and tasted so delicious that David passed the cup back, saying, "Fill my shell again, please." Cocoa had an added appeal when a marshmallow boat was floating in the cup. A surprise picture was pasted on the,jtottom of David's glass of milk, It was quickly and completely fin- ished in order to see what had been put there. CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS I. Unruly crowd 4.

In this they were only aping high officials in \Vashington. Fear of instability brings on an urge to gamble, Americans have been gambling• in unprecedented numbers. The flow of gold swelled the ranks of the underworld and rersnited in the great syndicates, which completed the cycle by fur- ther corrupting public officials. The moral breakdown has extended into our colleges. \Ve need a revival of spiritual values and moral indignation in America. \Ve need to become furious at had things and enthusiastic toward good things. America became a great commer- cial nation because the word of most Americans could be trusted. Among untrustworthy people you can't build a business structure on notes, drafts, open credits and contracts. In America you could buy by mail or order by phone. No longer was it necessary to go to the market place and finger the goods. In consequence, while other stations held to the let -the -buyer - beware principle and did business in small volume for high unit pro- fits. Americans published their prices, offered money -back guar- antees, and startled the world with a roaring trade base on integrity, large volume and small mark-ups. As integrity has made us great in commerce so has it made us great in politics, \Ve have always had crooks in both fields, but never have crooked standards been the accepted standards. Popular government can work only where public servants are reasonably trustworthy. A corrupt norm would mean anarchy in government and law, and out of the smoke of an- archy a strong man would ride and the people's liberties would tumble. Let's drum it into our bewildered children: There is such a thing as abstract evil. Moral weakness is not to be excused, nor is slyness or slickness to be admired. Honesty is the mark of a wise man. honesty is simple, It sint- plifies life and thus furthers hap- piness. Honesty is the only road to true prosperity, for the alternative to honesty is looting. -Tulsa (Okla.) Tribune. 67 !'t4u>•1.6.

How could I leave home 'when we had a bricklayer here re- building our huge kitchen chin- - ney, and or course having his din- ners here. Partner couldn't be around all the time -he was too busy at the barn -so I had to be on call to give any information that was required. That was from Mon- day to Friday inclusive . and then carne the clearing up. Partner, had the scaffolding and a pile of sooty bricks to cart away while f had dust and smuts to contend with in the house, But, after giv- ing the order over a year ago, we at last have a chinmey that doesn't let in daylight through the bricks and doesn't puff out smoke every few minutes if a west wind is blow- ing, That has been happening for year,, But our new chimney is quite a bit higher titan th old one so it doesn't catch the down -draught from the main roof of the Louse. On Saturday, while there was still plenty to do, along carte Bob. The remainder of the lumber was moved in a hurry -and then we ,vent to the big Fair, taking two of our neighbours along with us. Partner • did not want to go so we left hint to enjoy leis hockey broadcast. From the Fair I phoned Daugh- ter -to discover that she had been trying to get my by long distance all afternoon. leartuer's brother Colin was at her house, en -route for the farm. It all fitted in nicely like pieces of jig -saw puzzle. We collec- ted Colin after the Fair and brought hint home with us. But it could so easily have happened otherwise, Even if Daughter had not been speaking to me Colin intended corn- ing out on the midnight train. Neither of them remembered that on Saturdays there is no midnight train! We had a grant time at the Royal -walked miles looking at horses, cattle, pigs, sheep and poultry. Friends of ours front Montreal were showing eight head of beef cattle so we had a visit with then, -but we steered clear of the huge bull that they were prettying up for the show ring. As we walked through the barns »'e wondered how litany millions of dollars were there on the hoof. The sum total must have been colossal, In the Jersey barn a little boy, probably about five, caste running up to its, "Look," he said, "there's a baby calf over there -just 15 minutes old , and down there there's four more babies, all in one pelt," We were amused , the little boy was so excited and wanted everyone to sea what he had seen. And the calves were certainly cute envougif to please anyone -just as cute as the little Ayrshire that was born in our own barn last night. The horses were grand. Now that we work only with tractors: trucks, combines and balers it was nice to walk through the stables and to realize that horses did still'exiat We were conscious of a slight nos- talgia for the good old farming days when farming was a way of living rather than a way to make a living, which was more or less inci- dental, How we used t6 love our horses, 1 don't see • note' anyone can become really attached to a tractor -not in the way onc.gets at- tacked to a team of hor6e4, And yet, loving horses, we must still work with tractors . , . for us there is no other tray. The commercial exhibits were in- teresting -if only as a demonstra- tion of the ease with which one can spend money! The mechanized chick feeder left me cold , a stow, automatic self-feeding trough. When I raise chicks I enjoy watch- ing and feeding them. I like to get acquainted with my little biddies. And they with me. I like to have then, come running directly I comae within sight and sound. But there was one gadget that was entirely to my liking -an elec- tric egg -washer. Eggs are placed in a huge wire basket and the basket set in a special metal tub. And then a spray of detergent water is turned on -and presto! The eggs are clean. Any one who has spent hours cleaning eggs will agree that this method of handling then, is a great improvement. I have always , understood that eggs should not be washed, but apparently tunes have changed again. Now if you have the right equipment, use the right de- tergent, have water at the right temperature, and can afford to buy this gadget, then it's all right to wash eggs. But we have only 50 pullets so, for the present, I'll stay with the steel wool! , Glass Boats Edward Lear wrote a nonsense rhyme about "going to sea in a sieve," a nt,ost impractical means of transport, but in the (tear future a great many people will be putting out to sea in glass boats. Glass has numerous advantages over wood as a ship -building mater- ial; and though we may have doubts, remember that our ances- tors scoffed when, about 100 years metalago, has tleadvantage of being mould- ed; it does not warp and split; it is proof against both dry and wet rot; it does not absorb water and needs no paint, This boat - building glass is 2.'4 times as strong as the finest aluminum alloys and 5 tines as strong as mild steel, Those who go to •sea in glass vessels need have no fear that they will split at the .slightest bump; for a 12 -ft. dinghy was hurled front a skyscraper in New York on to a concrete pavement, and then taken out on the Hudson. The fact that such boats weigh only about 60 lbs. and are much cheaper than wooden boats, should make them popular, Travelling along, watching sea life through the bottom of the host -for special magnifying glass ban be used -should be a novel experience. In Hertford, England,in a County Council election, one of the candidates, anxious to do the sport- ing thing, voted for his opponent. He lost the election by . one vote.
