Flying Squirrel Rides to Lucknow
A: flying squirrel, a real oddity in
this district, was seen in the village
last week. This member of the rodent
fancily is so rare in these parts, that
it is a good many years since one has
been reported, and only a few citizens,
it appears, recall having ever seen one
in the locality. This squirrel was dis-
turbed by telephone men, while work-
ing in the St. Helens district. At the
time, it was thought to be hiding ar-
ound their truck, but could not be lo-
cated. On returning to the village,
the truck -driver stopped at Smith's
garage, and the squirrel was discov-
ered under the truck. The next mo-
ment it was mounting the hydro pole
nearby and paused midway up at the
street light bracket. Donning his
spurs, one of the linesmen ascended
the pole,: The squirrel scampered , to
the very peak of it and spreading out
his parachute folds of skin, soared
gracefluly across the main street to
the tall eitn tree on the other side.
Here it sought refuge during the
night and the next morning had dis-
appeared to - parts unknown.-- Luck -

Planning the Horne Garden
When the area devoted to the gar-
den is limited, careful attention must
be given to such points as distance
between rows and between plants, so
that all space may be used to advant-
age. Each plant must have room to
mature, yet gaps must be avoided. A
study of rotation of crops and time
of maturity is of great value in plan-
ning the small garden. Such crops as
radish and spinach may be grown as
inter -crops between the rows of later
maturing crops like carrots or par-
snips. Late sown crops inay be plant-
ed between the rows of early matur-
ing crops just before the latter arc
ready to harvest. Two or three crops
of such plants as radish and lettuce
may be grown on the same area. A
succession of quick growing crops by
planting at intervals is also desirable.
Where lands is cheap or where the
garden may be laid out in any shape
desired, ease of enitivalioe sltt:uld be
considered. All the rows may be plac-
ed the same distance apart, just wide

CARE,

PASSING on a hill is just one form of haste .. , that
craving to drive too fast ... which is altogether too
prevalent in .Ontario.
The appalling number of motor accidents in this province
means a drastic check-up on reckless drivers. Public
sentiment, speaking through the courts, will be increas-
ingly severe towards unreasonable, thoughtless motorists.

So, for your own safety and that of others, drive carefully!
