As the north reckons, Unglehart is an old settlement, and theretore it is to be expected' that there will be some trim homes in the vicinity. Nor will you be disappointed. 60111e years ago an English couple,' the husband a gardener in an English country iffiest), settled on one of the concession lines bettv eon 111 ogle) art and 0 r• ton. The individuality of the man is re. fleeted very closely in the character of the house, the trim, well -kept lawn in front, without which to a certain type of Midlander no house is a home. Opposite him lives a German family with a qui verful of children, raising prodigious amounts of onion and cabbage, and 111 It roomy, go -as - you -please domicile. Nearly eighty miles north the Pull. 'man cars attached to the T. & N. 0. trains four times a day pass within .view of the log shack of yet another German settler. A year or two ago lie came here from Brazil, where a great number of Teutons are seeking "a place in the sun." However, this particular family found that it was quite possible to get even too much sun, particularly when it is combined with malaria, and they jumped clear across a continent to northern On- tario. The good wife in the middle of winter sometimes sighs for the langorous heat of South America, but the husband last year raised the champion crop of oats along the T. & N. 0. and will certainly stay with the country for some time to come. In the little settlement of Hama there lives a German -Canadian, Bigia. mund Freiburger. He built the log house and has lived in it; he haa cleared the land around it and raised crops on it; yet on the books of the Ontario Government his name cannot be found, and legally he has no right to either the clearing or the home. It is part of the burden of the sett tiers in Homer, this uncertainty, of tenure of land.

And why all this travail and heavy labor? For the ...lendless-, dollarless man, itoine and a stretch of land Mit he acknowledges no man's right to walk on but 'himself; for a place where his children can run abroad without inhaling the dust of the streets. Little it may seem to those reasonably well to do, but, oh, how infinitely to be desired by the thous- ands of town dwellers in the bye. streets where the weekly salary is regularly eaten up by the weekly ex. penditure, and where the future hold' 'out no hope of protection for a rain', day.
