CHRONICLES
oI: GINGER FARM
By
Gwendoline P. Clarke
• • •_ '• • s
These days we at waiting --just
'as so many others are waiting—
for the return of our son from
overseas. One getter last week
said he was still in Germany; the
next that he was in . Holland and
expecting to ;leave for England the
following day. We listen to the
radio_ and we hear—"three boats
of returning nten expected to dock
neat Week -ane on Wednesday,
one Friday and the "Lady Nel-
son" on Saturday." We wonder
will it. be Wednesday—or Fri-
day—or • is he still on English
shorbs? Naturally we would be
glad to' have our son home at any
time but more espccialty noww when
Ins help is so urgently needed as
Partner is by no means well and
te, carry "on without some one to
share the responsibility is ,.prac
tit ally impossible. What a wonder-
ful thing is good health—especial-
ly when one hasn't got itl
It looks as if there might be
plenty ,if field work 'before long.
The . hay is just about ready to
cut --:and it looks like a good crop.
The wheat is well out in head-
but oh dear, what a shook: we got
last week. I was on my way for
the mail ;and in passing I looked
over at the• wheat—and I never
saw so 'much smut in my life. As
soon as I got home I said to'
Partner "Did we treat that wheat
last fall?"
"Sure we treated it," he ans-
wered. "Why, what's the trouble?"
(He hadn't seen what I had seen.)
I told him, and later we looked
at other wheat crops 1.11 the district
and sure enough every one of
them' was - well sprinkled , with
smut, However Partner thinks a
lot of'it Will. wash off—and I must
admit it doesn't' look nearly as
bad nota as it did :. week ago.
Some of the' spring crop appears
to be surprisingly good -that is •
the oats:, Barley has all unhealthy,
tinge of yellow through, .excessive
moisture •and cold weati'ier.
• 1 .suppose the' problem with
moat ,women" these days is shop-
ping. 1 know it is .mine. But ev-
ery' :time I geta bit bothered I
think,, how little we have to corn -
plain about and how gladly we,
should .. suffer a few shortages•
order to help those who. have Of-
fe-red so much. After all, we can
Still. get all !tire milk, eggs, vege-
tables and bread that we need.
And given' an abundance of these,
things we cannot legitimately com-
plain. Possibly our most ,serious
problem is not in the threatened
shortage of supplies but in how •
we face it, For instance we have I
become so accustomed to a peen-
' titude of potatoes that we hardly .. r
,know how to lccep house witho tt
then. And yet they are not real y
essential just .more of ,a habit
than anything else. We can get
along quite well without them al- ,.
though I must admit they are
good "fillers and I could do
witli a bag in the cellar very nice-
ly. My worst worry is sugar—but
if the fruit is going to be scarce
ten pound's of tannin' siigar will
be plenty.

My hopes are beginning to
soar! Out' in the lane it 'this very
Minute the hydro men' are putting
cross -arms on the• poles. And
there is a transformer in the truck
just for us. We were" told they
would probably have the;,uower
on by the end of June—hut we•
were beginning to have our doubts
as after raising the poles the Men...
simply -ravished anti this is the
first we have seen ,of then for
three weeks. And they are just
as likely to disappear again for an-
other three weeks. But here's hop-
ing they don't. So near and yet so
fail Here is the house all wired;
there are the poles in the lade.
and on the road. Tjiere is the
transformer but click the switches
in the house and still nothing hap-
pens. These fixtures overhead
that two-way switch .. , those
plugs in the wall ... they are all
just promises. But those lamp
chimneys that need cleaning
that stove that needs filling
those irons that need• heating—
they are realities.
And that ,back -breaking, hand -
power washing rhachine-1'11 "say
that's. -a reality!
"If you can, said : madame,
snfliing, ''l couldn't."
There wasn't Much time to think
of Michel -id the days that followed.
More children came.' little' Polish
boys, twin girls front. the shambles',
of Rotterdam, three more boys,
sons pf an'"aide' of Charles de
Gaulle. There was work, plenty
of work for Meriden, for Madame:
Mimi, for Rudolph, There'` were
lessons to be arranged. Madame
front her long years un the stage,
hart the fight of tongues_The ;chit -
demi loved her. It was•a sight, she
often thought, that would have sent
Michel into shouts of laughter when
she 'stood on the lawn with all the
little ones-ab,,ut her, speaking to
some in 1•lrench, to othersin Dutch,
to others in. English. In the eve-
nings .,she and Meridel sang for
then and Jed them in their native'
songs.
In October they received word
from, .Roger, He' was flying .some-
where in the Middle East, "1 pray
that I may ...be home so hut -=will
you p'ease all pay too, 1 have
looked everywhs a fer Mike, but
cci•er'a,sign of him can find,'
The day 'after that letter came,
Madame was sitting of the ter-'
race with Meriden >,nd ktoolph
when Rev ine and 'Poi Mjrtin, came
to the. Rosine was crying; Pol
Martin's face was very long. He
drew Rosine by the hand until
they stood ,n front at. madame.
'the little girl hung her, head and
her shoulders tho.`k with her wren
ing.
"You must speak, Rosine," said
. Pol' Martin,
"I—I cannot-"
"Now what is this hein?" Ma-
dames bony fingers were crooked
on the silver knob of her stick.
"What has happened to you, Ro-
sine?" •
"i. smashed 'the pictture." The
words were mumbled against the—
frill of her dress, but presently she
lifted her chin and looked with near
` defiance in her tear -reddened eyes
at madame. "I 'threw it on the
floor and ground my heel in• his
face. I didt f did! Anu 1 am
not sorry."
"I' told her not to do that," said
Pol. Martin, "I .ried i.e. make her
see that it is not your fault, hia-
•dame Laurin, that ho—"
"In the name of the good Godo"
Madame hammered t e Semite of
her stick on the tiles. "What then
is this! Have you gone mad, you
children? Speak, now, Whose
picture have you smashed, Rosine?"
"His. The one who killed Bon-
homme Fricot."
Madame rubbed her eyes. Med-
del, stood up to take the children
away,' but madame gestured
brusquely and, princess or no prin.
-cess, Mcridef obeyed her. But she
looked with puzzled eyes from Ma- •
-dame to Rudi, who, kept staring at
the grass, his fingers intertwined
before him.
"Where was this picture?" asked
madame softly -far more softly
than any of therm had ever heard
her speak before.
"In your room, madame," said
Pol Martin, "It is the one in the
bright silver frame, Gesner said
it was of your nephew and that his
name was Michel Fabre, add that
he is Roger's brother. The can-
not be, madame. Say it is not to."
Madame looked at them with the
eyes of an ancient eagle. Her fin-
gers moved no longer on the knob
of her stick. She licked her lips
slowly!
"You mean, you .little ones, that
you think—1 cannot say it. What
is it again you think?"
"We know; said Rosine. "He is
the one. When we saw him he
wore the Germain uniform and.
there were ribbons on his thole and
for BOTERSiiip.,. , „

he had shot Bonhornme' Fricot, .but
he is the sante man, We would.
know, him anywhere, I. am sorry,
madame, I meant never to speak;
but d—I could not ]help it"
"When did you first begin to
think this -this crazy thing?" Ma-
dame's voice was flat now, lifeless,
and she looked old and tired as she
leaned back against the cushions.
"It was the day you couldn't seem
to' eat, Rosine?"
"That was the day, madame."
"Yes, r had put the picture ,,on
the dresser; •I. recall. So that was
itl .Bel -you are mistaken, chil-
dren. Thats the picture of my.
nephew, of Roger's brother. lie

She stopped. closed her r `: oc " •'
the sun were too much far her. Was
this madness, phantasy, child's non-
sense? Or was there some dread
kernel of dimsat truth in the whole
bizarre business? Children were
sometimes mistaken, but not often.

Control of Inflation
Canada has dpne a lot better in
controling inflation than the Union
of South Africa, where living costs
'are up 32 percent from 1038;_ food
is up 40 percent and clothing 30
.percent. According to statistics giv-
en in the latest edition of "Canada
at War," the cost of living in the .
Dominion has increased 18 percent,
during the war, but only three pen
cent since a general price ceiling
was set December 1, 1041.
