"My husband's €z ' sister is our nearest neighbor, Anne H i r s t," writes a worried bride, "I had ix3 not to e t her s% when we mar- ried several months ago, but she keeps me so upset, day after day, that I am almost distracted. "She is in and out of our hotfse all the time — or she sulks and doesn't come in for a whole week. She treats me like a moron—tells ane where_ to place our furniture, what to serve for dinner (I'mh a better cook than she is) and even what to wear when we go any- where together.

Nobody really likes her, but heli husband is influential here, and so they put up with her, "At first, she snubbed me every time I opened my mouth, But .since she Inas learned that my family has a little ;honey, she fawns in, such, a disgusting way that I am ashamed for her , . . She thinks she can dictate my whole life. I used to be so lighthearted and gay, but she brings out the worst in me, and I find myself almost as bad-tempered as she is t "Yet she has spells of being really kind, and then I'm ashamed. "My husband is wonderful. He never really liked her, and they didn't get along, even as children. He says, 'Just tell her off'—but I'm afraid to." * * * * Your husband is right, What * this woman needs is somebody to * take the upper hand, and keep * it, You can do that, if you • will. You will have to remind her that this is your home, that you * will decorate it as you please; * and that the wayyou dress, and * live, is none of her business.

Seven other Colberg young- sters, exhausted -by the ordeal of moving from their house, slept in the homes of neighbors. The family of 12 were evicted so that their property can be used for commercial purposes, +f the barn, 'Later the thresher had some kind of contraption by which «.sag the separator could be pushed into the barn by the tractor. The trac- HR ICLIES tors were big and powerful but slow on the road, Now our %INGERIPARM thresher has a Diesel tractor that travels along the road almost as e Gw¢tldolim�e p. Clat`h¢ fast as a car. Not only that but he's here, and he's gone, without any extra work or worry to the farmer This is definitely the morning after. The morning after the end of a hectic week. More rain, of course. Then when the weather cleared the men decided it would be better to stools -thrash than to draw the wheat to the barn. But the day the threshers were to come we had another heavy shower. More delay. By time time time wea- ther had cleared again and the machine on its way another thresh- ing machine had moved in to one of our neighbors, so that ,made .it bad for both of us. In the mean- time there had been an Institute meeting I couldn't miss. For one thing Edna Jaques was speaking— and I had been given the little job of introducing her—and was also on the lunch committee—three good reasons for not staying at home. However, the meeting over I was soon back to remaking pies and apple sauce, and figuring out the rest of the meals, ready for threshing either Friday or Saturday. Then daughter phoned . , , she and friend J. J. would be out to help us if I would meet them at Bronte (15 miles) at 9 o'clock Saturday morn- ing ... she was sure the help they could give would make up for the time spent in meeting them, There - was logic in that, so I went. And you know that drive was quite a relaxation—time fresh morning air, dew glistening on every leaf and cobwebs on the fields and pastures all a-sparkkie as if they had liter- ally been spriinkled with diamond dust. It was very beautiful, So we threshed on Saturday .. . all the wheat and half a field of oats—and we had 12 for dinner and 14 for supper—that is including ourselves. It was our first experi- ence at threshing without horses— without horses of our own, I should say—one neighbor brought his team. All told, there was one team and three tractors in the field. That naturally led to a discussion after the threshing' as to the relative merit of tractors versus horses. Partner and Bob were in favor of tractors; Johnny, who has been working for us for the last two weeks, was loyal to the horses. If he was farming on his own lie "wouldn't have a tractor on the place." Strange to hear a young fellow talk that way, Partner and Bob like tractors because it is pos- sible to get closer to the separator and quicker getting back and fosth to the field. Several times this ati m - mer Partner has said !mow glad he was Ire let the horses go, Pasture problems have been bad enough— they would have been worse with the horses to worry about. But of course there are disadvantages to the tractor too. There is $15 to pay out of every few weeks for gas, Horses might actually cost that much to feed if you figured the pas- ture out in dollara and cents, but you wouldn't notice it because it wouldn't make any difference to Your bank account. In changing from horses to tractors it is very necessary to take a long-range view all the time. There are certainly fashions in farming just as there are fashions in hats and dresses. Our first threshing on this farm was with a steam . gine. We had to have a good pile of rough wood ahead of time as fuel for the engine. Then there was water to draw for the boiler before we started threshing, and again while the men were hav- ing their dinner. Then came the tractor driven separator -•- with a team to draw the separator 'up iltto M. —except paying the bill. And yet, although threshing• machines seem to havereached the last stage in mdbility and efficiency yet they have more competition now then they ever did. The combine is cer- tainly giving them a ruin for their tnoriey. More and•nmore farmers are realizing how much a combine saves them in time'and labor. Some farmers already have their own machines, others hire them. Which is the more economical way of harvesting is very much time $64 question, There is no denying the fact that with the present shortage of farm help, a combine, followed by a baler, certainly solves many. problems—and no threshing ~heals to worry about! If farming gets much more mechanized farmers' wives will be able to pack up in ' summer time and go away for a holiday. That will be the diyl What do you say, friends—think we could take it? But here is an- other thought. If pountry womnelr took a holdiday where would city folk go for their vacations? ISBN* SCHOOL LL�t �+- By Rev. R. B. Warren., B.A., B.D. Peter,. Who Became a Man of Po•wnr- er Acts? 4:8-20 Golden Text: Peter and the Apw- tles answered and said,. We ought to, obey God rather than men.— Acts 5:29. Peter, a humble fisherman, be- came a disciple of Jesus Christ, and. finally an apostle. He was a leader, an extrovert, an energetic, inmpass- ioned, and eometimnes impulsive,. man. He was one of the three—Pe-- ter, James and John.— who, were closest to, Jesus in His earthly m-in•- istry. He frequently spoke for the group. He• made the great confess- ion, "Thou, art the Christ, time son of the living; God": But a little la- ter ]me reveals his lack of spiritual uhderstanding• by rebuking Jesus for taking the way of suffering. Jesus• twraed to Bina and said,. "Get thee beNnd rhe, Satan:, thou art an. offence tmoto me; for thou savourest not the, tI'rings that be of God, but those that be t:' men." Matt. 16:23.. At the mountain 'of tr-ansfiguration, he cl%n't 'now what to say, but the• spoke anyway. Mark 9:6. Brav- ely he leaped out of the boat and walked on the water to his Lord, Then looking at the waves, he sank. He denied his Lord, but repented. Though he was the first to preach to the Gentiles after Pentecost, he was slow to recognize time full free- dom from ceremonial law afforded by the Gospel. Paul wrote, "When Peter has come to Antioch, I *ith- stood him to the face, because he was to be blamed". Galatians 2:11. But Peter was a great man. On the day of Pentecost, when the promised 'gift of the Holy Spirit was received by the waiting dis- ciples, lie gave the 1,eading address. After healing of the man at time totilple, and the ,preaching that fol- lowed, Peter and John were brought before time Council. They were commanded "not to speak at all tior teach in the frame of Jesus." Their reply was not defiant, but it recognized the highest authority. "Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard," Peter had become a maim of power. u Modern Et quet e By Roberta Lee Q. Is It over ;permissible to use the knife to convey any kind of food to the mouth? A, Never, The only purpose of the knife is cutting, and this should be done as skillfully as possible, and never in the manner of a saw. * * Q. When a bride is writing notes of thanks for gifts to friends of hers who do not know her husband, should the notes be signed with both names? A. She signs just her name to the note, but the note should in- clude her husband's name, as, "Bob and I deeply appreciate, etc." * Q, If the bride-to-be's mother ii divorced and remarried, and the Stepfather is almost as close to the bride as a parent, how should her wedding invitations read? A. "Mr, and Mrs, John L.
