"IS THERE NO MAN WE CAN
TRUST ANY MORE?"
"I have tried to live right, but
I'm always getting hurt!" cries
a young woman who feels that
life has let her down. She has
been jilted -- not once, but twice.
Today, in her despair, she la-
ments, "Is there no one in this
world we can trust any more?"
Who can wonder at her hope-
lessness? Five years ago she was
to have been married; three
weeks before the day, her fiance
jilted her, "For a year I thought
I. couldn't bear it," she relates,
"until I met a young man who
was very good to mc: , .. I be-
gan to live again. I trusted him
with all my heart, we became
engaged. I was to have been mar-
ried this past Christmas. A month
before, he began dating a mar-
ried woman — and now he tells
me he loves her!

ideals; when he used to hear of

Genzterlaltriv P C note.
Something tells me that cer-
tain species of cats, dogs and
house plants cannot be raised to-
gether — and they are the kind
we seem to possess.
For several years I have had
a huge fern — or plant — I hard-
ly know which to call it. It has
long trailing branches and a
sort of multiple bulbous root.
This plant filled one entire win-
dow in the living room and was
so heavy I couldn't even lift it.
It had always been hardy and
healthy — and then suddenly it
wasn't, It appeared lifeless, with
branches breaking off here and
there. I was at a loss to account
for the change — until the day I
discovered Mitchie-White asleep
on top of my precious fern! It
was an ideal spot, with the warm
sun streaming in through the
window. I knew Mitchie had been
playing with the trailing fronds
but making a bed of the fern
was something I hadn't even
thought of as possible. Eventual-
ly I had to cut oft all the fronds
and repot the fern, splitting it
into four while I was at it.
In the other living room win-
dow I have an asparagus fern.
Mitchie can't sleep on top of it
as the pot isn't big enough so he
nibbles at the fronds Instead.
Upstairs in a big south bedroom,
used only when we have guests,.
I have a variety .of house plants,
which I considered comparative-
ly safe — until last Sunday, Dee
and Art were out and brought a
young married couple with them.
June brought her English terrier
with her — a nice little dog,
quite friendly and well-behaved
— even with Honey and Mitch.
It was all over the place. Pres-
ently I heard it chasing around
upstairs but in a few minutes it
was down again, Next clay I was
up to water my plants. Such a
sight as met my eyes! One cactus
was lying out of its pot; another
was on the floor, its fancy con-
tainer broken; two •of my repot-
ted ferns were also lying among
a debris of broken pots and
earth. And various shoots were
snapped off my geraniums and
begonias. Worse than that, some
of these plants belonged to
friends who had been staying
here before Christmas. They had
Mit them in my charge until
they were ready to start house-
keeping again.
Well, I thought, a dog couldn't
possibly have done that much
damage. And then suddenly 1

scared to death by a canine
stranger, had made a flying leap
for the window, And that was
tihat. I am sure that is what hap-
pened because I remember see-
ing Joe come through the hall
when everyone had gone. And it
could have been worse. Years
ago, when a strange dog veme in-
to the house, Mitehie-Grey went

In my den I have on the win-
dow sill one begonia and a
flowering hop, Yesterday while
we were at breakfast I heard a

lying on the floor, its pot broken,

away. So I have come to the con-
clusion that Mitchie among
plants is like a bull in a china

other respect he is a well-behaved
and intelligent pussy -cat. Which
reminds me — I visited a house
in town last week where there
was.a four-year old sat that had
never been outside by itself. It
. had a little harness and was tak-
en outside by some member of
the family at various times dur-
ing the day. This was because
all its predecessors had either
been killed, stolen, poisoned or
run away.
Before leaving the subject of
plants and cats ... I have tyvo
Christmas cacti, both of which
bloomed just before Christmas.
One has already bloomed again
and the other is a mass of buds —
cats and dogs notwithstanding.
Has anyone else had a similar
experience? Maybe even house
plants don't know what to make
of this unusual winter.
It is certainly unusual all right.
Two days ago the air was just
like spring. Last night the tem-
perature took a nosedive and
here we are back to winter again,
I have just come in from feed-
ing the hens and found the ther-
mometer registering zero That
suits me all right — I'm not
ready for spring yet.
Well, this is the day farm folk

what? Some say lower beef
prices will result — but that re-
mains to be seen. In any case
free movement of cattle is greatly
to be desired ... especially off

Partner is spending far too much

it hadn't been for the embargo
some of our cattle would have

Thomas Edison, believing that
luck or chance had no part in
a man's success (one of the few
successful men who ever be-

SOME TYPES YOU SEE
THROUGH A WINDSHIELD
They Refuse To Fight,
But Not Through Fear .,
It is throe uuudrtatt years since
George Fox had a vision at the
top of Pendia Hill, which moved
him to preach his message to the
people of England and the
American colonies, and found a
sect that in proportion to its
numbers is the most powerful in
the world.
For, according to statistics,
their are no more than 21,000
Quakers in all Britain, and about
160,000 in the world. Yet a
Quaker deputation to .a country
like the U.S.S.R., for instance, is
far more respected than any other
body would be,
They do not believe in the
Trinity, the Immaculate Concep-
tion or the Resurrection, though
in essence they practise all that
is best in the Christian religion,
Courage and Integrity
George Fox, the founder of
Quakerism, was a man of im-
mense moral courage and in-
tegrity. And honesty is the rock
on which Quakerism is built. Be
honest with yourself and those
in contact with you, both in bus-
iness and in home life. The
Quakers are guided by an Inner
Light which we call conscience,
Fox believed that if you obey
the dictates of your conscience in
all matters, then your conscience
will grow and develop along the
right lines, . and you cannot do
wrong. If you smother your con-
science, it will ultimately wither
and you will allow yourself to
do evil.
It is a simple creed requiring
no learning or dogma.
Quakers believe in extreme
pacifism. Unlike those of other
creeds they have never tried to
convert by the sword, but rather
to convince by sword and precept.
William Penn, son of an admiral,
came under the influence of Fox
but continued to wear his sword,
as befitted a gentleman of the
time. He d o u b t e d, however,
whether he should continue to do
so and asked Fox's advice. "Wear
thy sword," advised Fox in the
Biblical phraseology Quakers then
used, "as long as thou canst"
Some weeks later he met Penn,
"Where is thy sword?" he asked
with a smile.
"I wore it," said the other., "as
long as I could."
Ultimately, Penn went to
America and founded the Quaker
colony of Pennsylvania, and it is
noteworthy that during the
seventy-five years of Quaker
domination, which is now known
as the Golden Age of Colonial
Tranquillity, not a single Quaker
was massacred by an Indian; nor
was a single Indian defrauded by
a Quaker.
Made Enemies Quake
Quakers ref use to fight, but
members of the Society of
Friends, which is their legal title,
were not so named because they
quaked in fear. They were called
Quakers because one of their Op-
ponents said that "Fox made his
enemies quake and tremble at
the word of the Lord."
Since their foundation the
Quaker's have been bitterly per-
secuted. Fox himself was in and
out of prison like a Jack-in-the-
box. He was married to Margaret
Fell, widow of Judge Thomas
Fell, for nearly twenty - three
years, but they enjoyed less than
five years together. And of the
early Quakers, a tenth of their
number was always in jail.
Gradually,people began to
realize that there was more than
a germ of truth in the Quaker
idea of honesty and peace. And
the Quakers grew in strength and
made influential converts.
Quakers believe in extreme
simplicity and turn their faces
against all ceremony and ritual in
their houses of prayer, abolishing
even musical accompaniments
when they sing hymns. They also
dress severely and live so Sputum.
a life that the Very Rev. W, H.
Inge, former .Dean of SI. Paul's,.
said: "The Quakers, of all Chris-
tian bodies, have remained near'•
eat to the teaching anti example
of Christ."
In business they are serupulotret-
ly honest, but they do not spurn
money. "Make all you can, salve
all you can, and give all you east,"
is the Quaker's rule.
Commercial Success
Men at first refused to traolie
with Quakers, but their honesty
became so widely known that
strangers, on entering a town fee
business, would ask, "Where Ira
there a tradesman that is e
Quaker?"
No other community, except:
perhaps the Parsees of In CI*,

Big Five, Lloyds and Barclayts„

Most people do not realize that
these firm were founded by
Quakers, though they know that
the great chocolate houses of
Cadbury, Fry, and Rowntree
were.
The fact that a business is rasa

honest dealing. And a proportion
of all their profits is invariably
set aside for charitable purposed.
