February Thaw
The recent mild spell has
thawed out much of the snow
which due to the past two weeks
of snow storms and again at this
present time it looks like an
open winter. Those further
north will not agree with us,
for we believe they had more
snow to contend with so far
this winter than in many past
ones. The past week -end was
a floody one on this highway
and water finding its way into
basement and other buildings
and it was not till we had the
change of weather to colder
that the water abated and again
all is normal,
Thaws are an annual affair
as a rule in the month of Jan-
uary but this past one had no
time for that due to its blustery
weather,

SUGAR.
AND SPICE•
by Bill Smiley
There's no better indoor sport
than versifying. And there's no
better versifyer around these
days than George Bain, Find
out for yourself. Read this
book, "I've Been Around .. .
And Around and Around and
Around , .."
Bain is a newspaper man with
a lively eye for the ridiculous,
and he has been around. Wash-
ington, Ottawa and London
come under his guns, and he
seldom misses when he lines up
his rhymes and fires a parody
of anything from a folk song to
Gilbert and Sullivan snatch.
He's also a wicked man with
a pun. To wit: a chapter enti-
tled "How to Get Down From a
Duck, Either You Know or You
Don't." In this chapter, he's
talking about an eider -down
vest presented to a high digni-
tary. Bain continues, "No doubt,
somewhere in the frozen north,
there is now a proud eider duck
strutting around with his little
bald chest stuck out, envy of
every duck for miles around",
And he adds a verse,
Said a chap to the proud donor
duck,
"To what do you credit your
luck?"
Said the duck, "G o o d n e s s
knows,
But one must, 1 suppose,
Assume that I showed tots of
pluck:'
Just a sample from a rattling
good book, a combination of
rueful humor and satire with
an edge to it.
This business of writing
verse is fascinating to some
people. Me, for one. Every so
often I get the urge, and burst
into rhyme that has the readers
of this column wincing, or run-
ning to the bathroom, gagging.
Don't worry, not this week.
But just by sheer coincidence,
I have come across some old
verses (not mine) that consoli-
date my opinion that the Eng-
lish language is about the most
illogical in the world. The fol-
lowing effort is dedicated to
English teachers and the poor,
baffled devils of foreigners who
are trying to learn the crazy
stuff.
The wind was rough
And cold and blouyh;
She kept her hands within her
mough.
It chilled her throuh,
Her nose grew blough
And still the squall the faster
flough.
And yet, although
There was not snough„
The weather was a cruel fough.
It made her cough
(Pray do not scough);
She coughed until her head
blough ough.
What's that? You want more?
I think you're out of your mind,
but there's that old folk saying,
particularly applicable these
winter days:
It's not the cough
Wot carries you off,
It's the coffin
They carry you off in.
Several •of the very few clean
limericks in the world also re-
veal the oddity of the English
tongue. For instance:
At fifty-five minutes past eight
The kids at a feverish reight
Are seen rushing toward school,
And you'll find, as a rhool,
IVs because they're afraid
they'll be leight.
Aw, come on. You don't
REALLY want another! Well,
I just happen to have:
A streetcar conductor once said
Toa car full of people, "My
ha id
Has such a bad ache
Hay School Board
Buys Insurance
On Package Deal
The Frank Cowan Insurance
Company, acting for the agents
in the area, has taken over the
entire school insurance in the
new Hay Township School Area.
At a meeting Thursday night,
Hay school board members de-
cided to purchase the package
deal which will cost over $1,900
annually. This sum purchases
student
nt offices acci-
dent,
accident,
dent, equipment, burglary, lia-
bility, automobile and boiler in-
surance for the school area in
addition to a fidelity bond for
the secretary -treasurer.
The annual commission will
be split among the several
agents in the new school area.
That I fear it will brache,
Oh, I wish I. were horne and in
baid."
There you are, A brand new
party game. Think of the fun
you'll have on these long winter
evening with things like,
A man on a picnic said, "Please
Don't be cross if perchance 1
should snease;
I've observed from my youth
That the horrible trouth
Is it's caused by the scent of
the trease."
Got the idea. Let's try mak-
ing one up. It'll be lousy,
but..,
A sailor, attempting to ski,
Ran his head right into a tri.
Although amost dead,
He angrily sead,
"It ain't near as soft as the si."
There. That ought to give you
a few sleepless nights

DOES SHUR•GAIN FERTILIZER SPREAD BETTER?
a quick glance SHUR-GAIN Selected -Granulated Fertilizer may look very MUCH -
like most other' kinds of granular fertilizers—but there is an important difference.
Most ordinary fertilizers and practically all custom blended ones consist of a dry
mixture of fertilizer materials either in powder or granular form.
As a result the different ingredients vary in size and weight. You can compare
it to a handfeul of ping-pong balls, mixed with marbles. If you throw out a handful ,
of these, the heavier marbles will travel farther than the ping-pong balls—and that
is exactly what happens with ordinary fertilizers.
Every granule of ,SHUR-GAIN Selected -Granulated Fertilizer contains the guaranteed
plant food elements in the right proportion.
When you spread your fertilizer, with a drill or even more important, with any
broadcast -type spreader you can be sure that every particle (from the smallest to
the largest) of free -running SHUR-GAIN Selected -Granulated Fertilizer is nutritionally
balanced no matter where it lies—assuring you of complete and even intake of all
the plant food by your crops. There are no excesses in one area and starvation in
another with SHUR-GAIN.
Another good reason why you can be confident of top returns from sHUR-GAIN— •
the finest fertilizer for your good earth!
