HEAVEN
'There must be more than summer
days in Heaven
Than April days or Fail
For. Heaven would not seem like
Heav'n if Winter
Should never come at all.
If on a sky as blue as God's own
laughter •
No featherey trees could sift
Their lovelier than emerald, snow
•.foliage
To purple shadowed drift.
There :must, be : mare thansummer-
"time in Heaven,
'Since an eternal..yoke,
Of flowered' hours would make a
hen of Heaven
For Northern folk!

Just living, day by day, with ears

One of the mistakes which I cans
not help thinking the generation of
men and women who are just coming
into the responsibilities of • life are
making is that they deem to be al-
ways seeking thrills, excitement,
something to take them out of them-
selves and thorn surroundings and
make them forget the humdrum and
the conuhonplace. Of course I know
that each generation must exper-
ience life for itself, must blaze its
own trailathat is the only way pro-
vided, and I am not one of those who
think the young people are always
wron • just because the • not
s, s
do do
'things just as their mothers and
fathers did then. I admire their in-
dependence, their frank outlook upon
life,
They, for the most part, have
learned to call a apade a spade, to
sleet life squarely and give of their
best to it. They are far wiser -than
their fathers and mothers in many
easesh and are not nearly so much
afraid of life and its experiences.
But, just because of this maturer
wisdom, they may be missing some-
thing very sweet and worthwhile
which it was easier for their par-
ents to possess. That is the happi-
ness and peace which comes front the
observance of little, commonplace
'things;, the beauty of a landscape,,
the loveliness of a snowIaden s.'inub,
the quiet comfort of air evening spent
about the home' hearthstone, ':'with.
books and chat and' happy.family
intercourse, and many 'another' sweet
and wholesome and satisfying joy;
Mien thp>•e is constant craning for
'excitement and thrills the coalmen
place is bound to appear doubly coni
monplace, and there must be a +large
proportion of coinnionplaee in every-
one's life" Life is made up pretty
much of commonplace things. In,
fact it is the ordinary, everyday
occupations which are the saving ,of
us, because they can be performed
so easily, without the concentration
necessary on inure difficult things,
and they prepare the way for an
occasional "thrill," which can be en-
joyed to the full as a diversion. .But,
when one is expecting thrills all the
time, one turns with disgust from
the common necessary tasks of life.
TVlueli hapipness comes from being
able to enjoy the sin>Iirle things of
life; much happiness is missed when
such ate overlooked or neglected.
Small cases, cards or bags con-
taining napthalene, will not furnish
protection against moths when hung
in a room •or large closet, will not
drive out flies, mosquitos 'roaches,
bedbugs or ants, and will not purify
the air, disinfect or destroy odours,
according to the result of a test.
For many years these materials were
called moth repellents and it 'was
believed that their odour would keep
moths .from entering a closet or
drive them, out if they were already
there. Experiments have shown
that moth larvae will crawl through
a line of paradiehloro-benzene, com-
monly called P.D.B., or of vaptha-
lane, and not be affected. Adult
moths will fly over 1 D.B. sandal a-
cross the side of a box and deposit
eggs on the flannel in the box or
will remain and breed in a small op-
en room or closet where both com-
pounds are present in considerable
amounts,
Both materials are very effective
against moths when usotl as a fumi-
gant at the proper dosage in small
tight containers as :for example
trunks, poxes, and small tight chests
or wardropes. They cannot be re-
lied upon in ordinary roosts or clos-
ets that are 110t -tight.
It is th'e season of oysters. They
have" been in season for a few
months; of course, but this fish
seems to be used more often .in Jan-
uary and February than other times.
Oysters: anis always popular' and many
hostesses sows oyster parties during
g
their winter r entertaining season.
Another recipe which Inas been tried
and found extremely appetizing is
scalloped oysters. -1'he recipe fol-
lows:—Place in a ,baking dish a layer
of oysters (which have been washed)
and over this spread a layer of bread
crumbs. Sprinkle with salt, pepper
and bits of butter, alternating the
layers until the dish is full and hav-
ing the crumbs on top well covered
with bits of butter. Pour over the
whole enough oyster juice or rich
milk to moisten it. Bake in a hot
oven 15 or 20 minutes until brown.

NEWS AND INFORMATION
FOR THE BUSY FARMER
(Furnished by the Ontario. Department of Agriculture)
. British Apple Market
A recent cable front the Over-
seas Representative of th'e Ontario
Fruit Growers' Association states
'that the apple market in Great Br-
taro is still dull with a possibility
of fairly good prospects later in
January. A rumor that Virginia still
has quantities of unclassified
Yorks which will sant have to be
disposed. of, points to a depression
in price until the early part of
February. Ontario apples of good
quality, however, will command a
good market providing high prices
are not obtainable on the domestic
-market. .These apples should bring
from six to seven dollars er bar
'r'el..
Food For Brood Sows
Alfalfa or clover hay fed from
racks forms an excellent roughage
for brood sows. Roots are also good
but may not always be available.
.rresa,a a.me,,.r.s.s
The meal ration may vary consider-
ably but should not be too strong.
Bran, shorts, ground oats` and
ground barley in equal parts, if
fed judiciously at front two to six
pounds daily, depending on the
size and condition • of the sow as
well as the period of pregnancy,
has been found to give good food
results; Mineral .feeds ar'e usually
essential. and may be supplied
either by sods ora suitable mineral
mixture containing eharco.al, ashes,
hone meal, ate.
The Labor Situation
Under the heading of "Labor and
Wages," th'e annual bulletin issued
by the Department for the year
1929 remarks:
"Farre labor could not be secured
at any lower or, in ,some cases, as
low rate of wages as during the
past three years. The fernier can
only afford to pay for his help out
of the money his products bring
in, .British immigration does not
flow by choiceto the :farms and
OLD COINS.
There are many Coins in
circulation, and lying.
around in drawers that
have great value. For example—the Copper Penny dated 1839, with
the Bank of Montreal on its face is today worth $15.00. It is not so
much the age that counts—it is the scarcity of particular Coins of
certain ,dates.

more l;elief might: eons frome inxnii-
gration if other races experienced
on the land , were encouraged- Not
much change du conditions general-
ly was reported in 1929 although
more labor appeared to have been
released from ; the pities; ,to ; the:.
farms. A cut in tiro tobacco acre-
age "made the situation: easier in
that direction. Tobaccogrowing in
the western counties helps, to set
the local Wag'e' level during the
busy season.: The : outlook is for:
'wage levels to remain as: they are
or to fall- a 'little •perhaps. Domes
tic servants die .not known 'on • On-
tario farms, according to all reports
received from correspondents west,

The Dual Purpose Cow
Although some ` bet o questioned
the exiptence o .such an, animal as,
the dual, pdrp� 'se cow, the fact re-
mains ' that many Shorthoras of
beef cotrfarmation produce suffi-
cleat inil1t to return a profit to
their owners aside :front the value
of their calves, which make gocd
feeders The Shorthorn herd at the
Dominion Experiliterital Faris in
Seat, Sask., wits started in 1921
with no outstanding producers. Dur-
ing the eight succeeding years two
cows have made, records appyoxi-
mating 8000 pounds; six cows have
over 6000 pounds to their credit. and
11 have made records of over 5600
pounds. Incidentally, no person has
questioned the suitability of these
animals for beef and waiting lists
are continually on file for breeding
stock. '
Killing Poultry Lice
Eggs are worth big motley these
days and the busy hen is the one
that pays. Hens that are continu-
ally irritated by external parasites
cannot give their full energy to egg
production. Poultry lice will con-
tinually irritate the birds and
interfere with their lest, thus re-
ducing their egg production value.
To combat this, a good plan is to
dust every bird with equal parts
of sodium fluoride and corn starch
mixed together. The dust can be
placed among the feathers next to
the skin by means of employing
the thumb .and finger. One pinch
on the ]lead, one on the neck, two
on the back, one on the breast, one
just below the vent, one on the
tail, one on each thigh and one
scattered on the underside of each
wing '•should be sufficient. This
work could alas bd done with a
salt shaker. Another and newer
method 'is to put the required
amount of Black Leaf 40 hn an
ordinary machine ail can with a
:fairly large spout and run a con-
tinuous line of the liquid along
each roost. This should be applied
about half an houaabefor'o the birds
go to roost, A second application
is necessary in ten days.

Farm Improvements
In a recent bulletin issued by' the
department in which was summar-
ized all the outstanding events of
the agricultural life of the province
during the year 1929, the follow-
ing remarks came tinder the head
of Farm Improvements:
"In the ov'estern counties drain-
age goes on apace. In Essex, close
upon 1000 acres were and ortiled.
The wet spring helped' the under-
drainage inov'snent and the sea-
son witnessed increased activity.
In Kent also there was a lot of
underdrainage of tile. In Elgin
there was concentration upon
drainage of the new tobacco land.
Through all • the western counties
replacement and . renovating of
barns, building of poultry houses
and fencing have node all round
advance, The Niagara Peninsula
reported but a limited amount of
improvement to• farm buildings and
fences. Through the province as a
whole more building would he un-
dertaken if the cost did not often
forbid it, Galvanized roofing. is be-
ing resorted to very' generally and
many farnicas are putting water
systems, in then' barns."

STUTTERING AND STAMMERING
Speech is the medium of human
intercourse. In' order to sueeeed in
l'fe, are r'equire`to give an account of
ourselves, to express our thoughts
a id our ideas clearly. It is through
straightforward, : • normal, standard
speech that we ;sell our services to
others. Mailable as it is . that
speech be free from errors in gram-
mar, and that it command a good
choice of wogs, it is much more im-
portant that it be unhampered by
such defeats as stuttering and Stem -
snoring.
About the fourth day of life, . th'e
child begins to hear; at the end of
the first month he recognizes
sounds. He imitates sounds at the•
end of the third month. At the be-
ginning, he babbies sounds which are
generally incomprehhensible, although
the fond parents and relatives may
find a meaning in them, which is not
really there. During the . child's
second year, words erne used ' eor-
reetly by him, and the third year
sees him joining words to form
phrases.
Normal speech is a good and de-
sirable habit to acquireand is the
product of proper trai>iing. Like
most .habits, that of normal speech
is farmed in the earlist years of
life. A wrong habit must be ov'e`r-
cease and the longer it 'is allowed to
continue, the more firmly is it fix
ed and the more difficult is it to ov
ercorne and replace with the coti'eet
and desirable habit.
Never use baby talk to a baby.
Always speak correctly and distinct-
ly to him. Baby talk may be at-
tractive in a baby, but it is a de-,
fective form of speech which may
became deeply ingrained as a habit,
and, if allowed to persist -WO adult
years, it is far from being desirable.
The child who is emotional or
what sis called:, "nervous" is apt to
stutther, particularly if he plays with
a child who stutters:
If a speeeh defect developes, it must
not be mimicked or laughed at. Have
the child speak slowlyand deliberat-
ely so that be: will gain confidence in
his ability to speak properly. The
Whole life of the ehild should bel
made leistuoly and easy. The impor-
tant point in, the prevention of
speech defects is always to speak
slowly and cortlectly to the baby, and
correcting defects in speech before
they become habits. Correct speech
is chiefly the result of imitation, and
parents should realize their respon-
sibilities in this respect.

WHO IS YOUR alERCIIANT?
Do you realize what your merchant means to Clinton? Do you
ever consider the confidence which he has placed in the town? He
has invested lois capital in his business, stocked his store with ar-
ticles of every description to suit your convenienee. His money is
tied up in bis business as an asset to the community.
If you buy in other cities than Clinton his stock becomes old and
out of date, representing a rnometary loss to him* II;e will be forecd
to retire from business and probably leave the town a failure. Isis
confidence in your town would be gone. His trust in you would be '
shattmred. You were unfaithful.
Confidence among residents of the sante community is the foun-
dation of the civic structure. If colrfidence is destroyed, the com-
munity is a :failure. The merchant losoa money, but the resident
loses more, The community loses its good name and invites ruin.
When Clinten can point with pride to the stability of its busi-'
mess, then. the merchant is safe in investing and new businesses are
justified in locating here, Think it over. You are personally re-
sponsible 'far the success or. :failure of your town. Buy in Clinton.

THE OLDEST BUSINESS
Clinton
The oldest business in the County •of aurora. , The Drug Store
conducted by Ws S. R. Holmes as The Rexall Store was started by
the late.Jas, Combo in 1858. After his death, Sept. 1898 it was con-
tinued by Col. R. 13. Coniine', the present mayor of Clinton. It was
destroyed by fire in 1903, and he commenced with a new stock, in
the store at present occupied by Davis & Herman, Tailors and;Gent's
Furnishers, a few years afterwards the new Combe block vas erected
and the Combo Drug Store continued till Oct, 1905, when Col. Combe
went late the manufacturing of Weas"well Hosiery. Alt this time the
business was purehased by We S. R. 3bolmes who is still trying to
make both ends meet by ,supplying the needs of the sick' and wall,
and this data is the reason :for saying it is the oldest business with'
the nearest stock.
