As a rule fanners valuate farms by their productiveness:. Whether, this is a correct basis for.valhation i4 a•prob- lent for consideration.'Tn'fact, dearly everyone will agree 'that there are communities where the soil is, fertile, the market facilities nearly perfect and yet the low moral and low living standard of the community prevent. it peing a desirable place to live. rn a eotiseeluence, farm values are lower in such communities. The modern farmer realizes • that, his line fence. 3s not the one that bounds his litres. Ile realizes; too, that it extends ,far 'beyond. As in the case of a school; to the entire section, in the case of chureh matters to the bounds 'of the, parish; in the case of business he has learned to realize that itis prosperity largely de- pends upon ,the prosperity ' of his neighbors Roads,' schools, churches andneighbors`:have .possibly as much to do' in creating" turd values as has soil fertility and the rural citizen, can do much to better the condition of these. Taste the case of our rural public school, Howoften we find the rural school sections entrusting the educa- tion itis their children to an inexper- ienced young girl of the towns and cities, who knows nothing of country life. Often, too, 'the teacher ,is brought into the section, placed in charge of the pupils and then left to ehift for herself. > Yet has"'she; not the care of the most valuable posses- sions ofourfarm homes? eTheee are the men and women of tomorrow. These will,be the leaders of the fut- ure generation. Hence she needs' our unfailing. support. Farmers cannot efford to be selfish. The farmer must be part of the community.: Farmers all realize that while we may attempt to cotiteol theweed crop 'within our own line fence, it is often the seed iron, a neighboring farm that 'does the damage next -year, •thus ' extending our boundary line to several farms, The Caine 'is true of the moral weed: The morals of the communi- es affect the morals of our homes, e know that there are emennunities. .Toronto,'representing the General Council, anti the Rev.

If you have varicose veins or bunches you can start today to bring them back to normal size; and if you are wise you will do so. Just get an original bottle of Moono's Emerald Oil at any dispens- ing pharmacist and apply it night and morning to the enlarged veins.. It is very powerful and penetrating, and only a little is required. After a few days' treatment the veins will begin to grow smaller and by regular ,use will •soon reduce to normal. Moone's Emerald Oil is also is mar=- velous healing agent. One applica- tion for instance stops the itching of eczema, and a few applications' cause the eruptions to dry up, scale off and completely disappear, • It is equally as effective' in barber's itch, salt rheum,: redness and inflammatory kin trouble.

S. A. is becoming. yearly of more importance as the population of North ' America .in- creases. Even the daily press (which !i shopld know better) continues to use the term Ameircans, when refering to them editorially, the excuse being of course that there is no strictly cor- rect term in sight by which to refer to them. A Mr. Murray of Toronto had sue- gested. that :the •'initials of United States of North America, be used to form a name; thus: Usona, 'TJson- ians.' This; name whilegood, once it was adopted would require a lot of advertising among the nations before it would be used to any extent. The writer has solved the probleet of a name satisfactorily to himself, and invariably':refers to them as Yankees. While this name is not strictly correct ,as applied to those outside 'the New England States it has the advantage of being familiar to practically all nations as referring to citizens of the. U. S. having been in use during the entire history of that nation; and at present is uesd to a considerable extent. -• ' If a campaign were launched by the Canadian press for the use of that name exclusively, in place of the name erroneously used, which makes them appear as the only na- tion worth 'while on two continents. the geographic limitations ' connec- ted with the term Yankee would soon be forgotten; and as it was the peo- Ie of other p e countries who originGlly pernetated the technical error of calling them Americans, they can have no objections to Canadians and others rectifying," that mistake and calling them ' Yankees, until such time ass they suggest a name for themselves more to their liking.
