This helps to form the habit f going •nit the nests It is a rather 'von. " How can floor eggs be avoided. 'This problem faces many poultry- men, particularly those with recently housed pullet 'flocks. It is also typi- cal of flocks that have been allowed to stay out ori range for some time after laying has started and that have not yet got in the habit of going into the nests. In addition to 'providing at least brie na* for every five layers, it IS a good plan to darken the nests so that each layer will have some Privacy when she lays. When floor laying develops, some poultrymen spend considerable time in their pens and place in a nest each pullet that is seen squatting in the corner by Ilaborious procedure; however, and is not to be advised except as a final 'resort. IIf sufficient comfortable nests are provided and the birds do not use ,them it is a good plan place the nests on the floor until the birds get ithe habit of using them, after which Ithey may be placed in their regular position.

The new branch, which has Just been completed, extends for 100 miles from Senneterre, on the Transcontinental, through Val d'Or to Rouyn, the terminus of the C.N.R. branch connecting with the Transcontinental at Taschereau, which was built in 1927 and ; made possible the rapid development of the Noranda group. This enterprise laat year had an output of gold and copper valued at over $21,000,000 and the estimated value of the output of the pro- ducing mines served by the new line is $42,000,000 for the current year. The location of the various mines in the district is shown on the map. Previous to the construction of the branch the majority of these mines had to transport materials and supplies from points on the Transcontinental by truck, boat, or tractor for a distance of approximately forty miles. Now by the direct service freight will be laid down conveniently to the mines and a big saving will be effected both in cost of transportation and in time.

When they came out all smelly and warm Ann would put some on a paper plate for Patsy to eat. Ann had the nicest dimples when she smiled, and Patsy would smile right back at her and say: "Thank, you, Cooky lady." Sometimes there were brown cookies and fruity ones, too, but the red and green candied ones that Ann made for Christmas were the very best of all. Patsy adored Ann. Through the seven short years of her life she had been her constant companion. Mother was just the lovely lady who was always busy with her clubs and going places, and Daddy was too busy at the of- fice to be bothered much; but there was always Ann. Patsy liked the nice postman, Tim, who came to see Ann and sometimes they all went to the movies together. Tim could play "pretend" almost as good as Ann. But once she heard him call Abn his best girl, and say: "Some day you're going to cook for me." After that she did not like him so well. Things seemed all wrong, and Santa hadn't answered her letter, and it was only two days till Christmas. She had said:"Please write soon," and that had been days ago. He must help quick, or it would be too late. Several times a day she would go to the mailbox and stand on tip- toe to look in for fear her letter had been overlooked. "Here. Tim," said one of the of- fice clerks, "is another of the kid letters to Santa Claus; guess this one's up to you." Printed in a childish scrawl on the envelope, Tim read: "Santa Claus, care of Tim." He drew out the folded paper. It read: "Dear Santa'please bring Tim another best girl cause Ann has to cook for us." "Your friend, Patsy Reynolds." Tim stared, then chuckled; "San- ta, old boy, you're up against it this time ." —Jocile Webb Pearson. E_,_;•'-•••-" AS Little Santa Claus Canary Was a Success IVITH Christmas so near and no money for a gift for Nedda Langley, his sweet- heart and inspiration for compos- ing, and now this cold rainy day, Carl Woods felt very low spirited. Then he saw the little bird out- side the window. He opened the window—the bird flew in and perched on the piano where it seemed quite at home. Standing by the piano wondering what to do with his visitor, Carl let his fingers wan- der over the keys. "Tweet tweet," the bird said and then began to sing lustily. Intensely interested, Carl continued playing and as long as he played the bird sang. Suddenly realizing he was playing something he had never heard be- fore, Carl began making note of what he had been playing. Growing chilled, he arose to close the win- dow he had left open. To his sur- prise, the bird Was gone, nor could it be found in the room. He couldn't remember when he had last heard it singing. Where could it be? Looking across the court of the apartment building he noticed in the window opposite, a bird cage, and a canary was hopping around on the window sill. Although the window was closed now, it must have been open earlier and the bird had taken advantage of its freedom. Whether it was the same bird that had visited Carl, be and Nedda always felt it was and called it "Little Santa Claus" for it had brought happiness and prosperity, for Carl's composition was accepted and an advance .payment made.— Blanche Tanner Dillin. a F.

Something far more precious. Peace. 'Peace on earth,' remember? Good will is sel- dom forgotten at Christmas but peace too often is." "But how can you give us peace?" cried the second in disappointment. "I can't be sure, son. No person alone can guarantee peace, but.ev- eryone can help. Right now I can show three boys how foolish it is to quarrel." "How, Mother?" "Franklin, you are stronger than your brothers. You could take their toys. But suppose then they join together to take yours? In the end all the toys will be broken, and you will have quarreled for nothing." "But suppose they take mine first?" "Wouldn't it be better to agree to all play together and all enjoy them than to fight?" "Is it that way with nations too?" "Exactly. Wars leave everyone worse off than before." "But people want peace, Mother?" - "Wanting is not enough. When everyone who wants peace does something to bring it about, then Christrnas will really mean the birthday of the Prince of Peace— the coming of 'Peace on earth, good will to men.'

A genuine fellowship pervades our common life—a fellowship whose source is our common share in the gift Of the world's greatest Life which was given to the whole world.

A Nice Christmas Gift, Thought Happy Marilyn NTHOUGH he lived across the hall, their acquaintance had been only a bowing one until he had reMinded her that morning in the elevator there were only three days more until Christmas. A welcome 'announcement for any employee in Baxter's store, she thought. She hadn't la•own his name until his sister spoke to Marilyn Marsh just as she was putting her key into her door that evening. Mrs. Hunt, Wade Kendall's sister, as she in- troduced herself, was having diffi- culty with some decorations. Would Marilyn help her? Marilyn did, in spite of preferring to rest after her day's work at Baxter's. Wade carne while they were working with the decorations, and soon conversation turned to what plans each had for Christmas day. Mrs. Hunt would be with the Kendalls for the family reunion. Wade would not be though because business prevented. Mari- lyn had no plans, so Wade suggested they spend the day together. Christmas day, Wade learned that Marilyn had been forced to give up her music instruction and was em- ployed otherwise; he had guessed that, be said. The music he -used to see her carry, he noticed she never had with her now. Too, he had seen her in Baxter's—and he had told his sister that anyone who could rise above disappointment and keep as cheerful and friendly as Marilyn, was an inspiration, and worth know- ing. That was the best gift she had re- ceived, she told him. She hoped to be ati inspiration always. His eyes and lips told her she would. Blanche Tanner Dillin.

There were, only five more days until the yearly. list of bonus recipients would be - announced. That evening, back in her own_ room, seated at her desk, she sat staring at the wall. She fidgeted with her pencil, almost praying for inspiration—what could she suggest to be done in the office or in the business that would increase either - efficiency or business? Her eyes. were staring straight into a huge - pot of four-leaf clovers that she had brought back from the country when she had visited her parents on the farm during last vacation. "The Four Leaf Clover Line"— why—why not? She jotted down the idea as it all eame tumbling. through her mind—in the manufac- turing end of the business, create, a breakfast nook or kitchen line all with four leaf clover motif, giving a 'cook book with its cover simply plastered with actual four leaf cloy - era, shellacked—a line especially to attract the newly wed trade. "Why, I could furnish the four leaf clovers for the first few books and maybe Mr. Stone would put a four leaf clov- er under the seal of that new style wedding certificate he gives free to each bridal pair of customers—who knows!" Lucky for,Stone and company but just as lucky for Lee Anne. As the Christmas day bonus for her sug- gestion was handed to her, she also received the first such contract ever known—for all the four-leaf clovers she could grow within tho next yea; —Luella B.

A HAPPY CHRISTMAS UNLOVING indeed must be the heart that cannot offer and re- spond to that universal greeting, for Christmas is the time beyond and above all others, when we should forget differences and dis- agreements and quarels. Seri- ous though We may have hitherto thought them, shall we not put an end to them as the Yuletide greeting rings in our ears, "4 Happy Christmas!" , "Mailing Early" The first reference to "mail early" in the Post Office depart- ment files is in November, 1913. This was at the time the parcel post was established. Sending packages overseas during the World war em- phasized the idea, and succeeding years have found mailed packages more evenly distributed over the weeks before Christmas.
