Consider the Dam
Considerable discussion about the
Club's farm was held at the reg -
War and executive ' meeting. The
fencing of it, buying or renting
more .land around the creek, the
cost of the dam and how much
water is needed, " how high, the
cam should be built, whether the
land is suitable to hold the dam,
all were', considered. Now the
building of the dam is at a 'stale-'
mate until further information is
had from Guelph.

BACKACHE
May`beWarninq
Backache is often caused by lazy kidney '
action. When kidneys get out of order,
teifcess acids and wastes remain in the
.system. Then backache, disturbed rest
or that tired.ouf and heavy.headed feeling
may soon follow. That's the tune to;,take
Dodds Kidney Pills. Dodd's stimulate
the kidneys to normal action. Then you
'feel better -sleep !setter—work better.

.- Nova Scotians are singing praises
to Judge T. C. Haliburton `these
nays, ,and.a -great many visitors—
as well as some natives -are for
the first time ,'learning 'Who this
man Haliburton was.:".It' is quite
in.jkeeping wity„the htlrnan nature
Haliburton knew so ,-well that
Canadians should have only vague
notions about him and that he is
honored more in other countries
than in his oWn. This is a pity,
for hardly a day passes that an
expression of >this'author is not
heard. He was, after all, "the
father of American humor", and
he preceded Santini Clemens and
Artenus Ward, who might have,
underother circumstances, claim,
ed parentage to the American
school of laughs. • "
'Like: many another writer, Half-'
button created a character which
has 'almost 'eclipsed- him. "Sam
Slick, the Yankee Clockmaker”
sings a bell for us all. And, fort-
unately, Nova Scotians may look
forward to a period in which their
hero will enjoy some of 'the ac-
claim he knew in the last century.
The vehicle for this revival, of
an old niaster is -a group of draw-
ings, done some years ago by the
late .Canadian historical' artist C.
W.
Jefferys, and acquired recently
by a Canadian • oil : company for
the use of, 'the 'Canadian people.

to the . Group of Seven, His hu-
mor was based on the susceptibil-
ty of man to flattery and schem-
es for gain, and Sam. knew all
about the things Dale Carnegie
was to write 'about a century
ater.
In 1837 the first Series of Sam
Slick' appeared, A second series,
exaggerating the peculiarities of
the Yankee character, came out
the following year. These books
were 'immediate' successes in Eng-
land, though Haliburton was still
regarded in his own province as'a
smart alec. He had written the
first history of Nova Scotia, and
it was' this that Longfellow ,had.
read to frame the background of
his poem "Evangeline". Other
booker -"The Attache" ;`The Old
Judge", "Traits of American mor",Hu-
r "Wise 'Saws", and "Nature
and uman Nature"! -followed.
, To picturesque speech, the old
judge, who died in England - in
1865, made such contributions as
these: barking up the wrong tree,
sharp as a needle, upper -crust,
gone goose, going to the dogs,
raining cats and dogs, quick as °,a
wink, a miss is as good as a mile,
et al. In wisdom, he said: cir-
cumstances alter cases, an ounce
of prevention is worth a pound bf
cure, theearly bird gets the
worm.'
All this and, more is now corn-
ing out from behind the bushel.'
Imperial Oil Limited, which seems
to have gone. in -for Canadian'cul-
ture quite extensively in recent
years, has, brought back to Can-
ada a group 'of 102 drawings
which Jefferys ' (1869-1951) did
some years ago -for- an, American
publisher. They were never used,
but it is likely now that they will
be made freelyi available for Can-
adians everywhere: `The company
has just presented a collection of
these Sam Slick sketches to Hal-
iburton House, which is maintain-
ed as a museum by the govern-
ment of Nova Scotia.. _

A short while ago I visited the
quiet little town of Windsor, NS.,
in the heart of the apple country.
The fair was in progress, but not-
withstanding, the fact that this
country exhibition is the oldest
one in Canada, I was more im-
pressed by a charming' old house
in the town named "Clifton". It
stood on . a gentle slope, secluded
'by tall shade trees standing sent-
inel over
ent-inelover grounds 'so beautiful that
they might have been -taken from
a Trollope or Bronte novel.
This was the home that Thomas
Chandler Haliburton built in 1835.
Browsing 'through` its rooms and
sitting at the desk Where the au-
thor wrote the Sam Slick stories
gave me the feeling I felt in Geo-
rge Meredith's old home in Sur-
rey and at Thomas Hardy's that-
ched cottage in Dorset. It was in
some manner a more sincere sen-
sation than I had experienced at
Shakespeare's house in Stratford-
on-Avon
tratfordon-Avon and the ill-fated Mark
Twain house in New York.
-* * s
Haliburton was born in Windsor
in 1796. He practised law for a
time and later became 'a judge of
the supreme court of Nova Scotia.
Some say this secure promotion
was simply a . method of getting
rid of him, since his fellow lawy-
ers were 'not always pleased with
his sometimes caustic wit and he
was only permitted as a judge to
try cases involving not more than
five pounds sterling.
He took early to writing and
contributed. ;a great amount to
Joseph. Howe's Nova Scotian, the
leading periodidal of the day.
Haliburton was a Tory in politics,
but used his writing as a vehicle
for reform propaganda. His whole
intention seemed to be to stir the
people of his province toward. a,
true acceptance of their respon-
sibilities as a new British country.
No doubt Haliburton was a
boor, sometimes a clown and of-
ten rude. No doubt he was not
able to take his sudden popularity
without some conceit. But he
goaded the people into action by.
making them laugh, -and, doubtless
he was a vital instrument in
Howe's _ clamor for responsible
government.
.The author was clever to create
Sam Slick as the brunt of his
jokes. Slick was a Yankee, and
any Nova Scotian could laugh
freely at a Yankee. But ` even
though Sam, too, was something
of a clown, arrogant and knowing.
all things, he more often made his
point than not.
Haliburton did not belong . to
any school of writing. He created
oneand was in this respect like
the artist Tom Thomson, who
helped found but did not belong
