Spring „
Sage remarks from -Roy 'finds, tra-
veller, author and student of life:
'Spring is the bunk. ,Year after
year we say, 'what terrible . springs
weather!' It is always terrible.
Thaw, freeze, snow, rain, chill; damp;
ship, slosh and stiffer. But it is the
beginning of summer and we look
Forward to it, and then we look back
to it, and write poems about: it. Same
with youth, We suffer most before
we are 30 ---doubt, jealousy, yearning,
despondency, groping disillusionment.
Yet we love youth because it ushers
in the larger experience •of maturity
—we love it illogically, as we love
spring. Springtime and youth arebo-
th largely the bunk."
Red Lake Too Far For "Mushers"
' Moved by the thrilling. "nnisher"
stores coming from Red Lake, Stuart
and Crawford McMullen, aged 12 and
ir years, of Toronto, outfitted them-
selves and started to hike for Red
Lake. With their pet collie, a loaf of
bread and a high resolve they left for
the °pea 'spaces. They had traversed
15 miles when night fell, and visions
of the comfortable warm home they
had left filially resulted in an "about
turn." The youthful vr4farers ar
rived home at midaight.•

Woodstock May Follow Sound's Lead
Mayor Parker of -Woodstock an-
nounced last week that he intends to
put before the City Council a propos-
al that '1,,Voodstock should follow the
lead of Owen Sound in giving free
lots to citizens who will build homes
on them. The city owns a number
of these lots, seized for non-payment
of taxes. This is a splendid idea and
it is to be hoped thatsother towns will
folow .Owen Sound's exaniple.

r,000 Immigrant Boys Needed
That one thousand immigrant boys
will be required in'Oxford and ad-
joining counties this year to supply
the demand, which has come itt front
the farmers of the district, was the
statement niade by Adjt.. Leech, supt.
of the -Woodstock immigration lodge
of the Salvation Army.
Guiseppe Boggiatio was happy when
he earned small wa,ges as a day 'la-
borer in Neto York City, 4o years ago.
Now, owner of millions, he has hang-
ed, himself in the park of his chateau
on Lake Como, His last message
was, "I have .discovered that money
does not give happiness.' That may
comfort the poor, but, unfortunately,,
poverty does not give happiness ei-
ther. What does give happiness is
mental activity of a useful kind.
Money can't' interfere with that, but
poverty can.

Was There Anything So Very Funny
About the Real "Good Old Days?"
Mr. W. A. Adair, owner of the
Marshall (Texas) Messenger, is 68
years old, happy and contented. He
writes: "I know the fun poked at the
countr3r editor for swapping subscrip-
tions for cordwood, but I could never
see anything funny about it. All
country editors sell the nieqhants
space, buy goods from the merchant,
and at the end of the itiontli—or year
—swap bills, and one of them pays the
difference. Why not give the farmer
the same terms?
"What is there funny about buying
wood from a subscriber instead OT
from a non -subscriber? Not only
wood, but eggs, chickens, butter—any
necessity was always legal tender in
'those good old days.' My weekly
