A RESCUE OF LONG -AGO (From the Guelph Mercury of May 13, 1869) "A Brave •Boy --A little, hero, aged eleven years, son of Mr. T. Govenlock, of Seaforth, .plunged • into his father's mill pondthe other day to rescue two little girls Who had fallen into it from the bridge. The water was over twenty" feet deep and; he had to swim some twenty yards, The first he •came to was his young sister•,, and having conveyed her to the shore, he went back for the other, who, in the meantime, had gone under. After diving twice, he succeeded in catch- ing and conveying her to the shore. Ig this ease the vital spark was all but'.extinct.and she was a long time reeovering,"ee The littlehero' spoken of above was 'wee -;, Govenheek, now of Van- couver, Si.- 0., son df the -late Thomas Govenlock, of Seaforth. The little 'sister • was• Mies Susie Govenlock and the other little girl was Mary, dau- ghter of the late Mr. Robert Goven- lock, of Seaforth, who presented. William with a beautifully bound Bible, with an account of his heroic act inscribed on die fly --leaf, and ex- pressing' the gratitude of the family' to him • for saving little Mary's life.

The question was asked by one of our district managers --a newcomer to the Lawn.. "This town's dead!" After meeting two or three of the town's' business men and receiving, the" same answer to hie query, the man- ager determined to see what a little optimism would d0 ,ta . replace the ,settled pessimism. His next .en counter was with .one of the leading retailers who not only used the ex- pression above-mentioned` ' but. -elabor- ated on it somewhat. "But," said the district manager, "you are doing well and making a good living here?" • "Oh yes, I am all right, but look at so-and-so." -- "Yes," the Bell man answered, "I've just been talking to the gentle- man and he is like yourself, deing, a Pretty good business but in his eon= venation apparently doing all he can to paint a dismal picture of the town from whish his revenue comes, Be- lieve me, it's time you ,folks spent some •thee in describing the hopeful side of your business and town, and left the knocking to the stranglers who may or may not feel inclined to do it." It was our privilege to visit this particular town recently, At eight in the morning we called at the, tele- phone office, The janitor opeeedothe door for us, stating as -we Mile:R;.,;1d ourselves that --•the manager had al- ready arrived.' It Was a veal pleasure to steal -a few `minutes of this busy manager's time and to listen while he told us of the growth he the Com pis y's business and ,the bright out- look for hit town. No,pessimisrn here, we, thought. Ji'little later we met the wire 'chief .and the coinibin-', ation-man.

MAY NOT BE HIS SON • SALMON ARA'( B.C., August 2.- (Canadiaan Press Dispatch) -While not admitting that the man known as Thomas Johnston, who is heldein Se- •attle, is his son, John Johnston,:` for mem justice of the peace and resident. of this district' ` for nearly 30 years, said here to -stay' that alma 'eight ,years ago he'had been notified that his son, who left home when 12 gears of age, had beer: placed' in an asylum` in Missouri, Johnston said that a mark el seen- tification on his son would ee a scar below the knee, the result of •a cut when; the lad was four years old.

THEY ARE DANGER SIGNALS In the opinion of The Farmer's Sun, thesilly signs -often seen stick- ing on the windshields of cats, gerve a ,useful purpose. They indieate cleaw:1y the mental calibre of the car's occupants. The pedestrian observing the approach of an automobile exhib- iting a series of flaga displayed around the radiator cap will be well advised to give it a wide berth and be ready to dodge empty pop bottles andother picnic paraphernalia the occupants of such cars are wont to discard promiscuously along the pub- lic highway.

It is the logical time for holidays, of course. The country is then at its best, and a few days or weeks, as the case my be, spent in the open means added health and vigor to those whose work con- fines them .in buildings, often work- ing under artifice' light, during the greater pgrt of the year. The open country is the place to spend holidays, too. One can travel to cities and see sights that add to one's knowledge of the country, :but for. a .geally .helpful holiday there is nothing like the country. For this reason many city people' hie then; to visit their country relatives in the summer., In moderation this plan works very well, but it should be, done very moderately. As was pointed out, the summer. is the 'busiest time on the farm, Ther4 is really* little sired' for,; ,. company to- add to its labor, But, nevertheless,, so hospitable are bile dwellers in the rural ,places and so uiiderstending are they that it is an orf swnmerwhen a' farmer and his - family do not enteitain Borne guests. Sometimes they Will have a whole familyofor weeks, at a time. A fam- ily who appreciate to the full the pure air,the freedom iron: dust and smells, and the abundant and wholesbine food of the farm. Let no one imagism that such an addition to a household adds nothing to the labor of iia housewife. It cannot fail to do so.' But guests can make thein.• visit not only something less: than a visitation but a real pleasure by,,thoughtfulness. y: !hey can make aractise of being g on tune for meals, If the lipstese prefers that they take breakfast the family, they should make a point of being thew when .the meal is served. Sometimes the beaten pre - fern that her' guests allow the men folk to have their breakfast and •' go to their work'hefore they .comedown.' That cad -be ascertained. Not only should the guest ,study the .conven- ience . of the hostess in beilig on hand when the meal is served but he or she should eat what 0 set before than, not demanding other kinds of food, or hinting that other food would be more acceptable. A guest who is mot willing to accept the fare of the fain- ily which he is yisiting should Make his visit a ckort one, in the interests ofboth himself and his hosts.._ The woman' guest can often assist her hostess. -But first of all she should have firmly fixed in her mind that she -is a guest and that the ways' of the hostess are for the time being her'waye ofdoing• things, although she may still hold to_ her'own opinielr< that' she knews a hatter. ,She can. take upon herself, perhaps, the keep- ing of the living room tidy, dusting, bedniaking, the setting of the table, etc. Anything which can.be taken up/ without much instruction - from the hostess will be the most helpful to her. The guests' own rooms will, of course; be attended to by themselves in the housein which no maids are kept, and, unless otherwise requested, in any house. The hostess is often the one, who prevents her guests assisting her. She feels that she knows her owa world, how and when she wishes it done, and that she can do it easier than instruct anyone else. This may be all true but she should alllow her guests to assist in the things which can be done without.nmch instruction 'on her part. -Sire mayhave to attend to the cooking of the meals, .but any- one, given the proper facilities, can wash the dishes,: True, the dishes may not always be placed just so in the closets.. The jugs may occupy the place sacred to the bowls and the din- neN plates may be - put where the jugs ought to be, butwhat matter, if the dishesare clears and ready for the next meal? Vie' hostess who in- sistsenpon doing everything herself, especially if she makes of herself something of a martyr as she does it, not only renders her guests uncom- fortable ncomfortalble but misses a lot of, pleasure herself, What pleasant visits have been made over the dishpan by two women who have many ideas and memories in common? Some of the cosiest times imaginable are to be en- joyed while guest and hostess work together, making a holiday for both. When guests are thoughtful and hostesses are .understanding a sum- mer visit may be made a very happy time; something for each to look back upon in the coming months of fall and winter.
