Placing her carefully on the kerb, he climed up and brought down a smaller boy. Again he made the journey, and this . time carried down an even younger child. "Lumme{!" said a passenger, wait- ing in the impatient queue. "'E must 'ave a nest up there!" 1r A Bold Fellow After writing a prescription the physician told him that the druggist would probably charge him 60 cents for filling it. Then. the patient asked the physician to lend him the money. The physician carefully scratched out a part of the prescription and handed it back with 10 cents, re- marking: "You can have that filled for a dime. What I scratched out was. for your nerves:" MIGHT BE ANYTHING Waiter -Will it be tea or coffee, sir? Guest -I'm not bettin'.

Beauty may have fair leave but bitter fruit, • Beautiful flowers aro soon picked. Beauty and folly are often com- panions. The fairest rose is soonest wither- ed. v Ridicule is more deadly than all the arguments in the world. Few men can reason, but all fear 'ridi cute.—Fretderick the Great. The art of pleasing is a very necessary one to acquire. It can hardly be reduced to rules; and your owngood sense . and observation will teach you mord of it than I can. Do as you would be done by, is the surest method that I know of pleas- ing. Observe carefully what pleases you in others,' and probably the same things in you will please others.—Lord Chesterfield: Letter to His Son. Since the "massesof the people are inconstant, .,full of unruly de- sires, passionate, and reckless of consequence,theymust be filled with fears to keep them in order. The ancients did well, therefore, to invent gods, and the belief in pun- ishment after • death. It is rather the moderns, whoseek to extirpate such beliefs, who, are to be accused of folly—Polybius: 125 B.C. I 'believe Shakespeare was not a whit more intelligible( in his own day than he is now to an educated man, except for a few local allusions of no consequence. He is of no age— ing. of any religion, or party, or pro- fession. The body and substance of his works came out of the unfathom- able depths of his own oceanic mind; his observation and reading,' which was considerable, supplied him with the drapery of his fingers,—S. T. Coleridge) ONTARIO FARMERS • WkTED 1000 / EI !.: 1 0 THIS is an appeal to. THE FARMERS OF ONTARIO. The Packing Plants of Ontario, which process and ship your livestock for export, ARE SERIOUSLY SHORT OF MEN. Every. available Farmer of Ontario is urged to offer his services for enlployhent in one of the Packing Plants in this province as soon as the essential work of the farm is completed. OVER 1;0.00 men are required to start in the month of September alone. rood hourly wages will be paid. Transportation to the plant will be provided. Assistance will 1 be given in arranging board and room. With full staffs, the Packing Plants of Canada. have ample capacity to handle even the tremendously increased numbers of cattle, sheep and swine, which Canadian farmers have ready for market, this year., When operating to capacity the Packing Plants can keep the market cleared and livestock can be slaughtered, processed and shipped, at its most profitable time, when it is at its market peak, Thus, losses which occur when animals are held beyond the peak T through .additional feeding costs, through falling away from peals condition and through the danger to price structures when supply threatens to exceed demand — are avoided. Last year several hundred Ontario farmers volunteered for work in the plants in processing their own products and protecting their own interests. Production for export this year has increased by 40%. Available man -power has shrunk by 28%. The Ontario Farm Service Force, in conjunction with Empldymeut and; Selective Service has undertaken the task of raising sufficient help from Ontario. Farmers_ , to keep Packing Plants operating to capacity this year. This department of the Ontario government's Department of Agriculture feels that this extension, of its service is as vitally important to the interests of the farmers of this proves ince as anything it has yet undertaken. The need of meat as a primary essential food to our Allied Armies, to the people of Great Britain and to the starving millionsin countries being liberated by our victorious armies, . is the basic consideration. In addition, efficient operation in the processing and marketing of livestock is necessary in protecting the greatest export market ever opened to Canadian farmers. Your services are needed from now until spring. If you cannot devote that full period of time, a month or more will be of great assistance. OFFER YOUR SERVICES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Ii you cannot go to. work at once, can or write, stating that you will come, and at what date you will be available. Remember you will be serving your own best interests as well as playing a vital patriotic partdn serving your country. * For full information ar offering your servkes,'apply In person, phone or write to your nearest office of EMPLOYMENT AND SELECTIVE SERVICE or write fo THE ONTARIO FARM SERVICE FORCE PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS, TORONTO Published. under Authority of WP -410 DOMINION.PROVINCIAL COMMITTEE ON FARM LABOUR — AGRICULTURE — LABOUR — EDUCATION A. roSo in a moonlit garden, the shadow of trees on the turf, almond blossom, scent of pine, the wine -cup and the guitar; these and the pathos of fife and death, the long *brace, the hand stretched out in vain, the moment that glides for ever away, with its freight of music and light, intothe shadow and hush of the haunted past, all that we have, all that eludes us, a bird on the wing, a perfume escaped on the gale —to all these things we are trained to respond, and the response is what we call literature.

Pointing the camera skyward caught this happy group enjoying their ride. IN almost every book on amateur 1 photography - you will find the warning—"hold the 'camera level." This is a sound' bit of advice for the beginner, at least as far as mostpictures are concerned, How- ever,like many camera rules, it le often violated to obtain some un- usual or special effect. For subjects that have prominent vertical lines such as buildings, monuments, or simila} structures,. • you should generally adhere to the rule. Suppose, however, you want a striking or dramatic effect. You can then tilt the camera as much as, you like. Some excellent pictures have been taken With the camera pointed almost s t r a i ght up or straight down. The angle or viewpoint yon choose, depends, of *use, on the effect you want. A high angle is often helpful in showing details of subjects•when the component parts need to be clearly separated. For example, 3f you can .shoot from au elevated position overlooking a golf green, you will be able to show' the individual players more effectively. In this case the grass will provide: a nice plain background, and the. action can be seen much better. A: low angle, with the camera nearly at ground level, and tilted upwards is often used for shots of ' baseball and,football players. This position yields a decidedly more effective picture, and the, plain sky accentuates'the figures. You will probably find many, other eases In which camera angles may be used. Let the nature of the. subject determine the best angle. --high, law, or normal. John van Guilder
