Located. Well
Whenever any man wanted to
get down to living water, be
sent for my Uncle Harold,
My Uncle Harold located
wells, It was his purpose in
life.
When' the word came to him,
my Uncle Harold would nod his
head that he would. come. Then
he would sit back and wait for
the moon to come around right.
The moon was mighty important
in the business, And it was a
business, and my uncle had a
lot to do. Sometimes, too, he
got paid for doing it. Not much.
But paid,
When the moon was just com-
ing up full, and the gold edge of
it was just over the tops of the
trees, my uncle went to the haz-
el tixicket with a wary step and
art odd kind of fire in his eyes.
And there in the full moon he
cut himself a great fork of hazel
wood, rankling with wet sap.
He looked about, to see that no
one was watching him as he
limped it off. That would have
spoiled it all, and he would have
had to cut himself another fork,
deeper in the shadows. That
was important to my Uncle... .
Uncle Harold then took hold
of his hazel by the two forking
ends, with the single stem of his
Y straight out way from him,
He set his legs at the same angle
his fork made, Then he tensed
up. I loved to see him do it.
It was the most interesting thing
I ever saw a man do. And I saw
a lot of men do many things in
my time.
This uncle I had might go
over a dozen fields, with his
shoes getting parboiled with the
night's dew, without a thing
happening to hirn. Or maybe he
would not get halfway across the
first field. It might happen any
time. You never could tell. My
Uncle Harold couldn't even.
But you knew when it hap-
pened all right. A11 at once, that
hazel fork came to life, It began

Fragrant Toiletries Must Blend
13Y EDNA MILES
WOMEN who use a solid cologne stick in one scent and
Vn a cologne deodorant in another frequently find that the
fragrances clash and thus cancel out each other.
Actually, a woman does herself more 'farm than good if
she wears several scents at the same time. Not only are
they confusing, they are far from subtle or delicate in their
appeal.
It's always best, then, to buy toilet water, cologne, per-
fume and solid cologne in one matched set so that you can
carry through on one fragrance, Change your perfume with
the occasion, day, or hood but never let the fragrances war
with each other.
LIGHT, AIRY SCENTS ARE BEST
TN a cologne deodorant and solid stick, it's best to pick a
light, airy, trash scent that's flowerlike in its appeal.
Save the musky, exotic, sophisticated perfumes for the
brisk winter days that are corning.
You'll find that the new cologne deodorant conies pack-
aged in a spill -proof, leak -proof plastic bottle and that it's
teamed with a solid stick cologne that's foil -wrapped in a
plastic case. This stick is small enough to fit into the corner
of your overnight' case or handbag but the supply is suffi-
ciently large to last you for weeks.

in a plastic case and both travel necessities are in the sante flower-
like scent.
to turn. It turned right over
in my uncle's clenched fists, no
matter how hard he was grip-
ping it. His knuckles got white,
but the live wood turned. It
was just as though some huge
hand you could not see had
reached up fierce out of the
ground, taken hold of that stem
of the green Y, and pulled it
down slow and sure towards the
earth. The stick went over slow
and pointed straight down be-
tween my uncle's parboiled toes.
It pointed right down where the
running water was. -- From

Latest thing for poultry rais-
ers is high - energy, low - fiber
feeds for laying birds.
* - * *
Poultry scientists at the Uni-
versity of Connecticut have come
up with a laying ration built
along the same lines as the new
feeds that make broilers grow
faster. Here's what it does:
• * *
1, Steps up production.
2. Lets you use less• feed.
3. Gives you a heavier hen at
the end of the year.
* 4' r
The Connecticut people got
those results with both Barred
Rocks and Rhode Island Reds.
Tests haven't been made with
Leghorns,
• * *
The biggest difference in the
new feed, compared to standard
laying mashes, is that it contains
more corn, no oats, less wheat
middlings, and more soybean oil
ureal.
* * e
In an 11 -month test, Barred
Rock hens laid 13 more eggs on
the new ration than they did
an standard rations — 179 eggs
per hen against 166.
Rhode Island Reds laid 1
6
eggs more per hen -158 against
142.
* r: *
If you want it percentage -
wise, the Rocks on the new feed
laid at a 55.7% rate, compared
to 51.6% on standard feed. The
Reds laid at a 49.1% clip on the
new feed, against 44.1%.
The feed savings are big. It
took only 6.8 pounds of the new
feed to get a dozen eggs out of
the Rocks, compared to 8.4
pounds of the standard feed.
The reds produced a dozeri eggs
on 7.2 pounds of feed, as against
8.6 pounds.
* ,e *
The Rocks gained nine -tenths
of a pound each on the new
feed, ending 11 months of lay
at 6.2 pounds each. On the stan-
dard feed, they gained only
three -tenths of a pound each.
* * *
The Reds also gained nine -
tenths of a pound apiece on the
new ration, but only one-tenth
of a pound on the old formula.

Death loss was practically the
same on both feeds, but the

Brucellosis Advance
Dr. Louis C. Barad, consult-
ing biochemist and toxicologist,
finds that chlorophyll, chloro-
phyllins and similar products
have marked deodorizing prop-
erties but that too much should
not be expected of them. Be-
cause of the publicity that chlor-
ophyll has received, he says that
more deodorizing products have
been studied during the past
few months than in the preceed-
ing century. Though in his opin-
ion nothing can take the place
of the nose, he has devised an
"osmometer," which appears to
be a useful instrument for meas-
uring smells. His latest "osmo-
meter" twelfth hi a series, can
theoretically. measure up to
t h r e e hundred intensities of
smells. The precision of the in-
strunlent is such that if several
operators are working on the
same sample, the differences in
accuracy do not vary more than
4 to 5 per cent, 'which is within
the scientific margin of error.

Jesus' Test of Faith

The, native, in Africa, for ex-
ample, in his primitive religion„
had his gods in the trees, the
storms, etc. It was all about
him. Hence when the white mast
comes with the new religion he
naturally associates it with
everything the white maxi
brings. He does not separate the
religious and the secular as we
are prone to do. Thus when
Communist agents point out to
the natives that their wealthy
mine -owner does not want them
to learn to read and have a
standard of living comparable to
them, they associate this in their
idea of Christianity. Accord-
ing to Frank Lauback wheats
literacy campaigns have helped
millions to learn to read, this
attitude is not characteristic of
all mine -owners in Africa.- The
blacks want to have human
rights, too. Lauback says with
regard to this situation we must
either "wake up or blow up."
If Christianity is to succeed in
Africa—or anywhere else—the
golden rule must not be packed
away after the Sunday services.
It must be practised among the
people seven days a week.
There have alway been de-
ceivers. God knows the wolf in
sheep's clothing and will finally
bring hint to judgment. Mean-
while we shall know them by
their fruit.
The great Sermon on the
Mount closes with a vivid il-
lustration. It is not enough to
hear the good true things which
Jesus says. We must do them.
Only then are we building on
a foundation that will enable
us to stand the storms of life.
The man who doesn't do on
Monday is building on sand.
Great will be his fall. Chris-
tianity is practical. An agnos-
tic exclaimed, "Christians are
men who would be equally hor-
rified at hearing religion blas-
phemed or seeing it practised!"'
That utterance does not only
apply to true Christians; but it
applies to many who bear the
name of "Christian." If the peo-
ples of the world do not em-
brace in faith and practice the
simple message of Jesus Christ
they will soon be at each other's
throats in the most terrifying
conflagration the world has
known. May we turn to the

Fresh From The Grainbelt--The largest cargo of Canadian grain
ever carried across the Great Lakes by ship was unloaded from
Canada's biggest lake steamer, the 678 -foot John O. McKellar
into Canadian Pacific Railway grain elevators at Port McNicoll
recently. The vessel's arrival at the Georgian Bay part marked
the beginning of large grain shipments eastward as western
farmers harvest the biggest crop ever grown, an estimated 1,250,-
000,000 bushels of all types of grain. Over 20,500 tons of wheat
and barley, part of this year's crop and enough to fill 410 railway
box cars were unloaded from the lake ship to await transfer to
eastern ports by rail,
