I love this girl like a sister" She reads your cahtmrl weekly, and I em praying she wilt take your advice; she has listened to no one else. "She comes from a good home, where she had every advantage and plenty of freedom, She was a wonderful girl ---until she took a position and started running around with questionable com- panions. Finally she eliminated them all, except one young man still in his teens. "He won't work long at any job; he has no ambition, He has no responsibilities, and when he's crossed he acts like a child. He treats his parents with the ut- most disrespect. He has even been in trouble with the law! "He has dragged the girl down to his level. If I hadn't known her for years,,I wouldn't recog- nize her now; she does as she pleases and resents her family who are only trying to help her. Her mother's health is breaking beneath the strain, but she is beyond caring. "Now they are planning to elope. Can't something be dope to wake her up before she takes that fatal step?

NOT GOOD) ENOUGH "Dear Anne Hirst: Over a year ago I fell in love with a nice boy, but he is disappointing me badly. He seldom takes me out, but if I want to go to a show he will pay my way. If I date anyone else he throws a nasty scene and embarrasses everybody. —"But he dates other girls whenever he feels like it! We have broken off more than once, blit I love him, so I always take him batik. What shall I do? .B„T." " It is well that you have come t' to your senses. A boy who " blows hot and cold, who does " as he pleases, but refuses you the same privilege cannot make " any nice girl happy for long, * Stop seeing hien at all. Don't t' accept any excuse that he of- " fors. Tell him you are through, " and mean it. " Date other boys; soon, i hope, * you will find one more sincere " and reliable. This one is not * good enough for you. We cannot direct the lives of others. When we mourn their choosing the wrong path, we can only stand by, to help later on when they need us. .

How Grandma Moses Got Her Start When 1 was quite small my father would get me and my brothers white paper by the sheet, it was used for news- papers. He liked to see us draw pictures, it was a penny a sheet and it lasted longer than candy, My oldest brother loved to draw steam engines, that was a hobby with him, the next brother went in for animals. but as for myself I had to have pictures the gayer the better. I would draw the pic- ture, then colour, it with grape juice or berries, anything that was red and pretty in my way of thinking, Once I was given some carpenter's red and blue chalk, then I was rich, children 'did not have so much in those days, we appreciated what we did get. . I commenced to paint on sticks of wood. Next summer 1 would get pieces of slate and window panes, Then I had some pretty pictures. That was the time they made fun of rue, 1 had some "very pretty lamb stapes." as my brothers said 1 called them, they had some brilliant sunsets, and father would say, "Oh not so bad." But mother was more practical, thought that I could spend my time other ways.— From "Grandma Moses," edited by Otto Keith.. Men sure go far a - MAGIC cake COCONUT.

The emblems will adorn London's Parliament Square during the coronation• HRONICLES 1NGERF:4 M Getenat.ollts.e P Ctarllt For the first Buie en—I don't know how many days—we have a lovely, bright, sunshiny day. No wind, no rain, no fog. Marvel- lous! It just makes you feel like singing—"Oh what a beautiful morning, oh, what a beautiful day; I have a wonderful feeling everything's coming my way." Maybe it isn't but hope never hurt anyone yet. The rain -soaked earth probably has that feeling too and its way of showing its gladness is by helping the flowers to bloom in joyous abandon. Yes- terday we wandered part way through a bush where we found mayflowers, hepaticas, blood- roots, early trilliums and a few species of wild flowers .we, did not recognize. The purpose of our visit to the woods was really to settle an argument. Arthur insisted that mayflowers and he- paticas were one and the same flower. Daughter said they were not, and I wasn't sure. So we all piled into the car, including Partner, a visitor and even Honey, and we headed for the nearest bush on high ground . . . no swampy places after that rain. There the argument was settled. by finding both mayflowers and hepaticas, exactly fitting the des- cription we had already looked up in the encyclopaedia. Actually, we could have taken Daughter's word for it because she certainly knows her wild flowers. But it. was fun to find proof by seeing. Dee and Art dug up a few roots of this and that to take home for their garden—but not trilli- ums, Apart from flowers we are always amused at the stuff city folk like to take back with them from the country. Yesterday it was wild flowers and garden flowers: roots and slips; rhubarb, cream and eggs—but -the two last items are always paid for. After all they provide part of our in- come—and we do have to Live. Too often farm produce is look- ed upon as nature's bounty by visitors t0 the country who often think it 'strange if Mrs. Farrier doesn't give then) a parting gift of something that has been grown of raised on the farm, Where is a surplus, that is jUCt fine, and it- is generally gladly shared. FJuI if a salable product is - in question then eity cousilts should at least be prepared to pay for what they get at a whole- sale level. After all, why should a farmer, any more than a gro- cer or a dry goods merchant, he expected to give away his live- lihood? Maybe 1 am wrong ,_. or meatier than most -- but that is l.he way I look at 11 .-. except, of coru'ce, where there is a case at need: where we know the folk In question are having quite a time in making ends meet; •ar where there is, or has been, sickness in the family, Then we are only too glad to give what- ever we feel is acceptable, whether it be salable or not. Daughter and. 1 also have ar1- uther way of doing things(, We have a sort o,f barter system. When she tS slopping if 911E sees something she knows we want put on as week -enol special, she buys it, brings it home and takes its value in eggs! And a cer- tain amount of exchanging also takes place periodically. Itn tam - School is a Circus—Students at Florida State University, Fla., have the opportunity to enroll in a circus course. Patricia Payne and George Bowers are seen passing a test in high -wire antics under the big 'top. ilies there is often something that one person doesn't want that another person can use. One's needs change with the passing years. Back ire the days when every farmer's wife had to think of threshing and c o r n - cutting meals it was necessary to keep a good supply' of dishes on hand. Now, in many districts, threshing gangs are a thing of the past—a combine eats only gas and oil. So, unless they are given away, surplus dishes are stacked up, doing nothing better than gathering dust. Yes, it is easy to find new homes for old things—in limited numbers—but not on a wholesale scale. And so it is that when a person has passed away we of- ten come across that saddest of all domestic problems—what to do with the unwanted furnish- ings of a home. Perhaps the late owner was a widow, or a widow- er, living alone, The children are married and have homes of their own. They have no room for ad- ditional furniture. Few modern homes have an attic, some don't even have a basement, there isn't even room for storage. So, if art estate must be settled there is only one solution to the problem —an auction sale. And all the dear, intimate things that have been treasured through the years must go to the highest bidder, If only more people would enjoy their possessions in their own lifetime instead of putting them away .in mothballs, Think of the silver, crystal and beautiful quilts that are carefully put away in case they might get broken or spoilt. Last week I got word that my one remaining brother had passed away in Eng- land, following a severe stroke. He was recently widowed and had a beautiful. home, I hate to think of all the lovely things he and his wife had worked so hard to acquire, and to save, now el the mercy of the • auctioneer's hammer. Let us make the best of what we have ---if they break or wear out we shall at least have had the enjoyment of using them • as long as they .lasted.

There is 1 chance in 50 that the, baby will be stillborn. The mother's odds are over 500 to 1 in her favor. If you spend conte of your time during the work day dream•- ung about how wonderful and healthy it would hp to be work- ing with your bands, perish the thought, Dr, Louis Dub 11 n, fanned statistician, states the life expectation of office workers is one eighth greater than that of industrtal workers. h t• r If you borrowed money tt'gtn a small loan company lately it's 1 to 6 you borrowed it to defray doctor and hospital bills. As if you didn't know. It has been estimated that about hall of humanity has a difficult time falling asleep. If you are among the hate -to -go -to - bed half, according to Dr, Don- ald Allaird, the odds are 3 to 1 that you - use some kind of thought control like counting sheep, money, etc., to woo slum- ber; 2 to 1 you read books or magazines; even that you use musical relaxation tricks; 1 to 3 you take warm drinks; 1 to 3 you smoke; 1 to 3 you take hot baths; 1 to 10 you use drugs; and 1 to 18 you use alcohol. r „ Is that a corporation, old boy, or is it just your shirt tails work- ing up? if it's fat you'd better start watching your shadow be- cause Dr. James W. Barton finds that of a group of 18 men, 9 fat and 9 thin at the age of 40, there will still be 9 lean men at 50 but only 6 fat. At 80 there will be 3 lean and one fat man. The odds increase until that fat stuff makes it 3 to 1 against yell. The world may be round but your feet might easily be flat, The War Department says past examinations show the chances are 1 in 8 you have fallen arches or flat feet. The odds areeven that you and your family spend $100 per year for medical services.
