A FARM WIFE
CHATS T I 11 P MEN
By
Gwendollne P. Clarke
Early this week our son. re-
turned hone from his holiday in
Quebec—and I am convinced it
would take a magician to keep
up with his coning and going
around home. One minute he is
in the field with the tractor and
the next thing we know he is
Streaking down the road with the
ear—for oil; or a repair, or may-
be only to mail a letter. Into
the house for dinner, and then
before Partner and I have hard-
ly started he is through eating
and away again, Sitting still is
like some sort of punishment to
him. He is definitely a young man
in a hurry—but to go where and
to do what—ah, that's some-
thing that nobody knows. When
a man is in the army it's a case
of "Their's not to reason why
—their's but to make reply."
* r *
But back to the faun. Most
of the week has been taken up
with ploughing, dressing chick-
ens and all the hundred and one
ordinary chores that have to be
done from day to day. Thursday
or Friday — I forget which —
Daughter phoned that perhaps
she and some friends would be
out on. Sunday to dinner. That
was fine—we were delighted.
Came Sunday morning — and
we overslept! That was a bad
start. Then before Partner cane
into breakfast I was working
around the cookstove when sud-
denly down near the floor 1 saw
fire!
* * n:
Perhaps I should explain that
in our dining -room we have a
huge open fireplace which we do
not use. To close it we have a
big niece of galvanized sheeting
right across the fireplace which
is kept in place by boards along
th sides and bottom. It was the
sheeting that was red hot in one
place and one board was smould-
ering. I knew Partner was just
coming up to the house so I
threw water on the hot spot un-
til he arrived. Then we took the
sheeting away and there we
found a nice red fire on the
hearth — an aecumulation of
soot which had by some means
become ignited.
There was no danger once the
^sheeting and framework were
taken away so We sat clown to
breakfast. But alter breakfast
Partner decided that the fire-
place would have to be cleaned
out. Nice job for Sunday horn-
Ing, wasn't it?
* *
And then there was the kit-
chen floor to wash. It just had to
be clone because no ;natter how
earelu1 anyone is --and Partner is
careful—soot has a way of scat-
tering itself around the floor.
Well, somehow or other we
got ourselves out of the mess,
but I moved around so fast that
once when I caught sight of my-
self in the glass I noticed I had
the appearance of a well -boiled
beet.
Fortunately our visitors were
late in arriving so that I was ac-
tually ready for them when they
came. Of course after they got
here our troubles were forgot-
ten—such is the charm of a
friendly little get-together.
* * *
Now they have gone again —
Son Bob has also done the dis-
appearing trick—so here we aro
alone again, Partner and I, the
clog, the cat and the radio. Do
we sound lonely? We may, but
we're not, because you see,
Partner and I are a regular old
Darby and Joan.
GWENDOLINE P. CLARKE.
Simple, Well -Chosen
Words Are The Best
In developing a vocabulary„as
in everything else, quality is to
be preferred to mere bulk. There
is little to be said for kuowiug
thousands of words if the words
themselves are such bastard
growths as "finalize,” "motivate,"
"keynote" and the like. Eloquent
men are those who use good words
with skill. Shakespeare wrote
many of his finest passages in the
simplest of language, but he knew
how to nee plain words with ex-
qutette art. If any man seeks to
improve his chances In life by
building up his vocabulary, let him
remember that quality in words
is far more important than quan-
tity. --Peterborough Examiner.

GOLDEN TEXT -- Wherefore,
putting away falsehood, speak ye
truth each one with his neighbor;
for' we are member's one of Alt.
other. Ephosians 4:25.
Memory Verse: Thou, Jehovah,,
bast made me glad. Psalm 92:4.
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time—The Ten Commandments
were given in 1445 B.C.; the Ser-
mon on the Mount was delivered
it: the summer of A.D. 28; our
Lord's words about those who
refuse to believe in Him were
uttered in mid-October, A.D. 29.
Place The Cornmanclulents
were given on Mount Sinai; the
Sermon on the Mount was preach-
ed not far from Capernaum; the
discourse from John 8 was spoken
in Jerusalem.
Lying Is Forbidden
"Thou shalt not bear false wit -
nese against thy neighbor." When
we repeat our suspicions of an-
other as though these are the
truth; when aur words are not
warranted by the facts; when we
vindicate oursehes by laying the
charge falsely on others, these
are a few ways in which we bear
false witness.
"Thou shalt not take up a false
report: put not thy hand with
the wicked to he an unrighteous
witness. beep thee far from a
false matter; and the innocent
and righteous slay thou not: for
I will not justify the wicked."
One should refuse to countenance
in any way any act of injustice.
The innocent and' righteous are
to be protected against their per-
secutors, Te be the cause of their
death by making false accusa-
tions against them would bring
God's punishment upon the guilty
person.
The Use of Oaths
"Again, ye have heard that it
was said to them of old time,
Thou shalt not forswear thyself,
but shalt perform unto the Lord
thine oaths." This means 'Thou
shalt not swear to a falsehood.'
"But I say unto you, Swear
not at all; neither by the heaven,
for it is the Throne of Goci." Our
Saviour is evidently not referring
to judicial •oaths but to the com-
mon custom of swearing in pri-
vate conversation; of swearing
on every occasion, and by every-
thing.
No Oaths Necessary
"Nor by the earth, for it is the
footstool of his feet; nor by Jeru-
salem, for it is the city of the
great King. Neither shalt thou
swear by thy head, for thou cant
not make one hair white,or
black." Because Heaven, eath,
Jerusalem, were so closely re-
lated to God they were sacred,
and to treat swearing by these as
a trifling matter was to trifle
with God.
"But let your speech be, Yea,
yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever
is more than these is of the evil
one." What our Lord means
here is that a man should so live,
and his reputation for truth be
so sound, that all ha would need
to do is to say 'No' or 'Yes' in
answer to any question, in a
courtroom or in a private con-
versation, and he would be im-
plieitly •believed and no oath
would be necessary.
Christ The Truth
"Jesus said unto them, If God
were your Father, ye would love
me: for I came forth and am come
from God; for neither have I
come of myself, but he sent me."
Their attitude to the Son of God
was moral proof that God was .
not their Father. If they were the
children of God they would lova
the Son also. Our Lord empha-
sizes the fact that it was not of
His own self-determination He
came into the world. He came
because it was the Father's will
Ho should come.
The Unbelieving Jews
"Why do ye not understand
my speech? Even because ye
cannot hear my word. Ye are of
your father the devil, and the
'nets of your father it is your
will to do. IIe was a, murderer
from the beginning. And stand-
eth not in the truth, because there
is no truth in him. When he

morl
apoaketh x lie, he epeaketh of

father thereof." Christ spoke of
'Heavenly things` and 'because
they were minding only earthly
things His language was strange
and foreign to them. Until their
hearts were changed it was a
moral impossibility for them to
understand spiritual truths. The
implication of this verse is: .4.

wants Trim to do. A man who lies
is an . enemy of God, is taking
sides against God.
They Will Not £elieve
"But because I say the truth,
yt. believe me i.ot." They would
listen to the devil and believe a
lie, but the Messiah speaking the
truth they would not believe.
Their manner of living, their love
of sin, their pride—these made it
impossible for them to receive
the truth. To the man who loves
sin the truth is repulsive because
it rebukes him, and he prefers to
believe a lie,

WHICH KIND OF
REVOLUTION?
By W. D. Herridge
This is a call for immediate
action by the American people.
Mr. Herridge has believed for
ter. years that in the battle against
want and unemployment English-
speaking democracy has been
fighting with one hand tied bo -
hind its back. Our wealth in
natural resources was great
enough to lift the people to a
new level of security safe and
lasting, But we Ire using only
part of the 'resources, because
under our economic system profits
come first and production sec-
ond. The common man, in the
present wain, has seen how much
wt can produce, so be 'will not
again be willing to live in an
economy of scarcity. English-
speaking democracy has failed
and must be regenerated; other-
wise to deny the common man an
economy of abundance we must
go to Fascism, arid if English-
speaking Fascism is to prevail,
it must defeat anti -Fascist forces
the world over. Revolution is in-
evitable, says Mr. Herridge.
Mr. Herridge knows what he is
talking about and says it with_
the staccato burst of a machine
gun. Many won't like what he
has to say, but no reader can
come away from the book with-
out feeling profoundly moved and
stimulated.

Likely you recognize them . . the "Sunday at Seven" team
of Jack Benny and Mary Livingstone, who are now settling down to
a Hollywood winter after the opening broadcasts of the season in
New York.
Apparently Jack's principal
worry is that his arch enemy Fred
Allen will be back on the air
December 12, as Jack puts it , . .
"To spoil the Xmas season"!
Earlier in the season there was
some doubt regarding Fred Allen's
return to the airwaves , a
question of heavy movie Com-
mitments and the fact that the
jovial funster has not been en-
joying particularly good health
of late. We learn that most of
Fred's old gang will be on hand
to go visiting with him down
Allen's Alley and to partake of
the fun that's always provided in
the final ten-minute sequence of
the Sunday evening half hour
show. Fred Allen will be featur-
ed over the Columbia Broadcast-
ing System, including CFR/3, at
9.30 to 10 p.m. Sunday evenings.

harvest is expected to be worth
well over $6,000,000.
A long stretch of dry weather
in midsummer cut down produc-
tion, but a higher sugar content
of the crop is expected to boost
output beyond the 110,000,000
pounds of sugar turned out in the
1942-43 season.
This year, Southern Alberta
seeded 29,300 acres to beets, and
production is estimated at be-
tween 320,000 and 330,000 tons,
compared to 342,285 tons obtain-
ed from 27,511 acres in 1942.
At the moment, officials are
confident the 1943 sugar yield will
pass the 110,000,000 -pound re-
cord set last year. Average beet
tonnage this year is 11 tons to
the acre, but the sugar content
of the crop is placed at 18 per
cent., compared to 16 to 17 per
