A FARM WIFE CHATS TO WOMEN By Cwendoline P. Clarke Do you enjoy an auction sale? Some people do and some don't. I have friends who say that to them an auction sale is a heart- breaking affair. Well, that may be true in some cases but—there are sales and sales. A few years ago many farm sales were held for the simple reason that farmers had to ar- range a sale themselves or have the mortgagees take over. Such sales were indeed heart -breaking affairs. But there are no sales like that now. Today most farm sales are the result of the own- ers realizing that they have a grand opportunity to "get out from under"; to realize prices on their stock and implements that they would never get at any other time. Really, I think an auction sale crowd provides a pretty fair sample of - mass hysteria. It seems to me that only the strong- minded should attend an auction sale for it has an allurement that a weak-willed person can hardly resist—you just feel you have to raise that other fellow's bid. * Yesterday there was a big farm sale near here. And what a sale! I believe the owner had been preparing for it all summer. How any one man could collect so much truck in a lifetime is a mys- tery to me. But he certainly reaped a good harvest on his col- lection. It may be that some people, like myself, were out to buy something that is no longer on the market. What we were after was a large size mail -box and, as Partner was away to a threshing, it fell to ane to do the bidding. Of course we already have a nail -box but it is small and pretty well knocked about. In winter the snowplough comes along and scoops up our mail -box as well as the snow — and that doesn't improve the mail -box. In' summer, because the box no longer closes as it should, the steirlings snake a nest inside it, and every day the partly -built nest must be pulled out before the mail can be put in. And that goes on for weeks. You can ,leave it to the starlings to teach us a lesson in perseverance. .Anyway, I think you will agree that a new mail -box was prac- tically a necessity. Unfortunately the Government doesn't think so, for mail -boxes are listed among the "has-beens." However, I was lucky at the Male—1 got the box for just 10 cents less than it cost when new. I also got quite a kick out of looking on as the rest of the "bargains" were knocked clown. 'There were seven or eight new galvanized pails that can still be bought down town for 29 cents each, They sold for 90 cents a pair! An extension ladder that had seen its best days fetched $15. What the stock and imple- ments went for I don't know as once I had made my purchase I was ready for home—after wait - bag three hours for the auctioneer to get around to my mail -box, I don't know much about dia- emends but I have a hazy idea ?set black diamonds are regarded aa being more precious than the others, Or ant I thinking pearls? Yes—now I remember. We speak of rough diamonds and black pearls, don't we? Anyway, what we have are black diamonds, They are very precious indeed— and we keep them _n the cellar. Yes, you've guessed it—our black diamonds are nuggets of coal! We actually had two tens deliv- ered yesterday along with 25 per cent. bituminous coal. If ever I get depressed all I shall need to do to cheer me up is to trip down cellar to look at our coal bin. Wartime food rations are really notliing •to worry about so far but when I think of the possibil- e- of not havini, enough fuel to keep us warns I start shivering right away. We have been a little worried at the idea o using soft coal—not having been used to it —so we had it kept separate. You see, we don't use our furnace cut we thought the soft coal night burn all right hi the cook - stove. So I have been experiment- ing, and do 'you know, I rather like it. It burns rather like pine wood, in that it throws a good heat and plenty of thick, stringy soot. But at least it is coal and with care in keeping the pipes clean it should make a pretty good substitute for the wood we cannot get. By using it when we can, then the hard coal can be saved for keeping the fire in at nights and on windy days, when soft coal might he a little dangerous to use. $2 Weekly Rent For British Cottage A wartime housing• program for agricultural workers in Eng- land is expected to provide 3,000 farm cottages of simple, attrac- tive design and sturdy construc- tion between now and the end of the war. Work has been started on 170 of the cottage units, scat- tered over England and Wales, and construction of the rest will be advanced as local communities provide sites and comply with the preliminary requirements. These new farm cottages will provide approximately 800 square feet of floor space in each unit. Rentals range from eight shillings six pence (about $1.75) weekly for units of bedroom, kitchen and bath, to ten shillings (about $2) weekly for units with a small parlor, bedroom, kitchen and bath. How Can 1 ? ? By Anne Ashley. Q. How can I bleach old later A. Remove the yellow spots by wetting the leee and spreµding where it will freeze, or by wetting and spreading it in a very hot sun. Either method may re- quire several days to bleach thor- oughly, and the lace must be kept wet all during the process. Q. How can 1 make a tooth powder? A. By mixing thoroughly five ounces of areca-nut charcoal, two ounces of cuttle-fish bone, one ounce of areca-nuts, raw and pow- dered.Strain through a fine sieve. Q. How can I prevent a colored suede belt from fading onto the dress from perspiration? A. Line the inside of the belt with a strip of waterproof adhes- ive tape. Q. How eau I loosen corns? A. It is claimed that it will loosen by binding a piece of lemon around it, changing the applica- tion daily for about three or four days. Then soak the corn in warm water and it can be removed very easily. Q. How can I make a substitute for whipped cream? A. Slice one banana and add it to the white of an egg. Then beat it. The banana will dissolve. This makes a delicious substitute for whipped cream. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON SEPTEMBER 19 THE SIN OF MOSES AND AARON—Numbers 20. PRINTED TEXT, Numbers 20:1- 13, 27, 28.

Place—The earl;, parr- of our lesson opens in Kadesh, which is really Kadeshbarnea, most im- portant place in the wnneerings of Israel, located in the extreme southeast of Palestine. The loca- tion of Mount Hol is not exactly known, though it was, of course, somewhere in the Sinaitic desert. Death of Miriam "And the children of Israel,. even the . whole . c.. r - egation, came into the wildernes. of Zin in the first month: and the peo- ple abode in Kadesee and Mir- iam died there, and was buried there." Miriam was the sister of Moses and may be said to be the most prominent woman of all those who came up out of Egypt. HEEL ON HEEL Mussolini literally gets a boot in the puss as 'U.S. Sergi:. John C.

LARDER LAKE This is the active mining camp of the north cpuntr a ,:'The present activity may well be a -record for diamond drilling in one area. The development of the young Kerr Addison mine to a position in the forefront of Canada's big gold mines, has been the stimulus for the effort to find new mines. An authorities agree that conditions exist in the area, which warrant the expectation that several new spines will be developed. The question which we find in many minds, is—How can one participate in a mining development, such as is getting undez'way in Larder Lake, and do so on a sane, sound basis, with every reasonable chance of success? Our answer is "diversification" over the list of well located properties, where the prices of the shares are still in the penny class. Arjon, Armistice, Lar -Add, Moosewood, Pelangio are already drilling, and Tovarich and Grassy Lake are expected to be drilling shortly. Virgo Larder and Largold have been financed; and rumours • are heard in regard to Martin Bird, Mount Cheminis Mines has been incorporated and is planning diamond drilling. We are interested in Tovarich, and think the chances for success are good. On location next to Chesterville and close to Kerr Addison, we think Pelangio may be a big winner. Then, on the excellent condi- tions indicated by drilling to date, Moosewood, located adjoining Omega, may have ore conditions at any time. Then again, on Lar -Add, flanked on two sides by the Amalgamated Larder, which company has been financed by, and is controlled by Anglo-Huronian, Consol- idated Smelters, Ventures and Noranda, the chances for success should be excellent. We think this Larder Lake development is the opportunity of years. May we assist you. Correspondenee invited. We have a map of the Larder Lake area available on request. GEORGE CHAPMAN A CO. 200 BAY STREET TORONTO Israelites' Complaint "And there . was no water for the congregation; and they as- sembled themselves together against Moses and against Aar- on. And the people strove with • Moses, and spoke, saying, Would that we had died when our breth- ren died before Jehovah! And why have ye brought the assem- bly of Jehovah into this Wilder- ness, that' we should die here, we and our beasts. And wherefore have ye made us to come up out .of Egypt, to bring us into this evil place? It is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines or of pom- egranates; neither is there any water to drink." Is it not strange that, after experiencing so many tokens of- the grace and mercy of God, these people should not have turned in prayer to God, in- stead. of complaining to Moses? They Turn to God "And Moses and Aaron went • from the presence of the assem- bly unto the door of the tent ox meeting, and fell upon their faces; and the glory of Jehovah appeared unto them." Moses and Aaron do not appear, on this oc- casion, to have attempted any re- ply to the people. They just cast themselves upon the living God. Let us ' rcinember this. God de- lights to he used. If this thought were ever kept in our hearts, we should hear less of the accents of impatience and discontent, and more of the language of- thank- fulness and praise. The Divine Command • "And Jehovah spoke unto Moses, saying, Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto•the rock before their eyes, that it give forth its water; anti thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock; so thou shalt give the congrega- tion and their cattle drink." Years before Moses vas bidden to use the rod because his faith was untried; but this time the greater faith should work through a slighter and more fra- gile •means—the accent of his voice. Incomplete Obedience "And Moses tock the rod from before gehovali ,as he command - him. And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said unto them: Hear now ye rebels, shall we bring yor forth water out of the rock?" Though the people undoubtedly deserved cen- sure, and were acting the part of rebels, yet it was not Moses' .duty now to upraid them. They did not probably so much claim the ability to bring forth water themselves, as cherish a doubt whether the Lor. would do it in behalf of such grog offenders. Therefore Moses and Aaron speak distrustfully. "And Moses lifted up his hand, and smote the rock with his rod twice: and water came forth abundantly, and the congrega- tion drank , and their cattle." Moses was not directly command- ed to strike the rock even once, Here we find him smiting it twice, undoubtedly the result of excitement and unjustified anger. Punishment of Moses "And Jehovah said unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed not in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, taerefore ye shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given thein." Moses had directly broken the divine com- mand. He was not to strike, but to speak. In this way he had failed to sanctify God in the eyes of the people. He who ought to have set the example of im- plicit obedience mad inserted his own will and way as a substitute for God's. This could not be tol- erated in one who was set to lead and teach the people.
