All of thc surfaces in the'vorld requiring paint, varnish or stain are owneu
by. somebody. It is. these owners—millions of them—who have made it
possible fur The Sherwin-Williams Co. to become the largest paint and
Varnish makers in the world.
Whether they buy, influence the buying or hire the painter who buys,
they pay for the treatment and judge the results.
Every' drop of Sherwin-Williams Paints or Varnishes has, for the past
forty years, been told as the right quality—the best for the particular sur-
face to be treated. The fact that The Sherwin-Williams Co. have become
the largest paint and varnish makers in /the world on this basis and with
millions of surface owners as judges of their claims, is the best answer to
any question of "who makes the best paints and varnishes?"

it was inaugurated by Miss Annie Jarvis,
of Philadelphia, almost one hundred years
ago. For the great balance of mankind
Mother's Day is every day in rhe year;
yet, even thongh mother knows she is al-

to have a little added remembrance, and
the setting aside of, one day in the year

Prerni r G. IL Ferguson thinks that the
condi mna: ion of the township school
board scheme by the ttutters' section of
the Ontat la Educational Association will
prejudice the proposition in the eyes of
the public and prevent it from receiving
the quiet consideration it deserved. The
Pt emii r said that lie had outlined the pro-
posal so that trustees could take the in-
famation first hand back to their people
for discussion and did not expect they
would condemn it without consulting any
one but themselves. The suggestion was
made with a view of reducing the cost of
rural education in Otitatio" said the Prem
;err "I suegerted to the association, as I
did in the Legislature, that it would lead
to a greater efficiency at less cost. It is
not resolutions the Government wants,
but constructive suggestions. If the peop
le want a reduction in the cost of educa-
tion, they must aseist in bringing it about

FACTS ABOUT TEA SEKIES—No. 5
What 'Orange Pekoe' Means
Many buyers of tea have come to ask for
'Orange Pekoe' believing that it signifies
fine quality. This is not, however, neces-
sarily the case. In the trade 'Orange Pekoe'
is only a name given to the first leaf below
the bud or tip on any Indian or Ceylon tea
bush. An 'Orange Pekoe' leaf grown at a
high elevation usually possesses a very fine
flavour. lf, however, the plant is grown at
a low elevation, it may still be 'Orange
Pekoe' but also be of very poor quality. The
consumer's only safeguard is to buy a tea
of recognized goodness. High grown 'Orange
Pekoes' comprise a large part of every blend
of "SALADA" and give to "SALADA" its
unequalled flavour.

Surnames and Their Origin
MUNSON,
Variations—Monson, Mansen,
Racial Origin--Enellsll, also Scottish.
Source—Given names.
Munson is a Ninny name of quite
simple and regular origin, but you'd
hardly guess the given narno from
which It comes unless you were fa-
miliar with the manner In which the
English of the Middle Ages abbrevi-
ated their given names.
Arany of tho shortened forms of
given names were the Hanle as those
wo use to -day, sues Q)3 Dick for Rich-
ard, Barry for Henry, Ed, for Edward,
Edgar for Edmond, and so on. But
there was also a method of using other
syllables of a name than the first for
purposes of abbreviation and variation.
This has virtually disappeared among
English-speaking peoples, though it re-
mains among the Germane among
whom Mans for John (front "Johan-
nes") is widespread.
In medieval England "Munn," "Muir"
and "Mon" were regular variations of
Edmond end Edmund, and the simple
addition of the ending "son" to one or
the other of these forms has given us
the patronymics Munson, Monson and
in some cases, through further varia-
tion, Munson.
Alanson, however, 1H more likely to
be of Scottish origin, a development
'of "Magnus -son," 'I'Iris is the aline of
one of the septs or branches of the
Clan Gunn, that clan which rose to pro-
minence in the fifteenth century as
the followers of George Gunn, the
"Crowner" of Coroner, n historic figure

today, there would be few, If any,
families heeling names in this group,
But medieval Englund drew its water
from wolfs; hence the family names
of Weller, Wells, \Velma'', Atwell end
Crossweller.
Wells were important enough, and
far enough apart in the days v.11011
family .naules began to form to make
such names quite widespread. Fami-
nes which lived in proximity to the
wells quite naturally were dlStingniih-
erl by reference to the fact in the con-
versation of their neighbors.
Tho name Weller 1s 1t combination
-of 'the word "well," and an old Anglo-
Saxon word "%yore," meaning "man."
It is, 1n fact, exactly the sante Immo as
\Velulan. In medieval English the 11)30
of the termination "er" was much
more common than it is to -day, though
the modern use of it can by no means
be .considered restricted.
The name Atwell is a survival of an-
other method of saying that a person
lived near a well. The original form
was "Atte Well," and such names as
"Roger Atte \Voll" aro quite common
In the old records. The modern name
of Wells may represent a shortening
either of Atwell or Weller or Weliunn.
The "crossweller" was one who dwelt
near a "crosswoll," It was customary
in medieval England to erect shrines
with little cruoHixes, here and there
along the roadside. Often such shrines
would be located Pat or near a well, and
such places were known *as "cross-
wells,"

Aching Backs and Tired Linlbs
Need Not be Endured.
Too many women endure suffering
that casts a shadow over half her ex-
istence. An aching back, tired limbs,
attacks of faintness, splitting head-
aches need not he a part of a woman's
lite. Such trials indicate plainly that
the blood is thin and watery and that
the sufferer needs the help of a real
tonic such ns Dr. Williams' Pink Piils.
Suffering women who have tl.sed this
medicine speak of it 1n the highest
terms. Among those who have been
thus helped is Mrs. Ada L. Ilarman,
Virden, Man., who writes:—"hollow-
fug the birth of a still -born child a few
years ago, I had a very serious time,
i was so weak for menthe that I could
not walk across the room without a
feeling of faintness. 1 had scarcely
strength enough to stand up, and when
dressing would have to sit down two
or three thine.,. My face and lips were
colorless, I had no appetite, and lite
diel not seem worth living. A friend
urged me to try Dr. \Viillnlns' Pink
Pills, and I got six boxes. Before they
worn all gone I felt improved.. My ale
polite was eettu'BJng, color wax com-
ing into my face, and 1 was visibly
stronger. I continued taking the pills
and fully regained my former good
health. i consider Dr. William' Pink
Pills a blessing to weak women, and
hope my experience will induce sono
other sufferer to try them."
You can get these pills from any
medicine dealer, or by mail at 50 cents
a box direct from The Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
Experiences With Scrub Sires.
The -most convincing argument in
favor of the purebred sire instead of
the grade and scrub aro the kettle' re-
ports which have been obtaiined from
the use of both types,
The following are actual experiences
of farmers on their own fame:
A farmer la Dufferin County, On-
tario, had sc calf dropped March 1801,
1919, which he sold on December 12th
of the scone year at 23% cents per
pound. 'This baby beef brought
$169.21. This calf was out of a good
grade cow which was herself sired liy
a purebred bull. The calf was also
sired by au approved type of purebred
sire. In the sante stable on similar
feeding and treatment at the stone time
was a calf also out of a fairly good
grade cow but shed by a' grade bull.
This calf was dropped Nov. 6th, 1918,
and was sold on the .same clay as the
calf already referred to (Dec, 12, 1919).

rOL1'NESIAN FIRE; WALKERS.
UututI Performed In Order to Secure
Good Crops.
1)r Rollo N. Beck, director of the
Harry Payne Whitney South Sea ex-
pedition, tells some remarkable star -
les of the doings of the native
Islanders,
Magic, lie says, is not entirely sup-
pressed among the natives. At the
little Island of Itapa, the southern-
inost of the ettstern Polyneslau
group, a rite, known as umutl, is
performed by a lire walker for the
purpose of securing good crops. This
consists of walking several times with
naked feet over a bed of stones which
have been heated until red by a fire
from beneath,
A .shallow pit, two feet deep, Is
dug, usually about nine feet by
twenty-one in size, Wood is placed
in the bottom of this pit and on it
are arranged about 200 round stones
in two or three layers. When the
day for the ceremony arrives, tiro
wood Is liichted and burned about
four hours beneath the stones until
they are glowing.
Immediately upon the hour set, six
natives appear wreathed in flowers
and bearing poles nearly fifteen feet
in length. '!''hese pares are used to
thrust aside the layer of stones, while
still leaving a superior layer, In
order to deepen the -impression of
risk In the minds of the opplookers,
11►e performers will, at tiniA, thrust
the Poles through to the tire where
they burst Into flame, conveying the
idea that the heat of the stones re-
moved caused the fire.
With the arrival of the priest the
more impressive part of the ceremony
begins. Ile appears with garlands
of flowers and bearing a large spray
of 11 leaves in Iris hands. He passes
about the the each way, uttering a
sort of incantation for protection.
Then, beating the nearest stones
throe times with the ti leaves, pro-
ceeds with dignity, but rather hur-
riedly, over the centre pile of stones.
As he walks ho is followed by those
disciplos who have courage to make
the attempt under his directions.
This spectacle of the fire walker
18 a very interesting one, inasmuch
as an apparent impossibility is per-
formed with such evident absence of
injury. The first conclusion arrived
at was that the feet of the Poly-
nesians were tougher than those of
Europeans, whichis really true, but
does not wholly explain the situation.
A close examination showed that the
stones used were basalt, of volcanic
origin, the most noticeable feature of
which Is its porosity and non -con-
ductibility. It was found that a stone
could be heated red hot at one end
while the other end remained com-
paratively cool.
Matrimony
vs. Crime
The married man who liven hap-
pily with bis family has a four to
one chance of steering clear of the
law.
That is the conclusion reached by;,
an American statistician and aoclalo$.
tat, who published a book containing
pages of figures proving that only
one prisoner in every four to mar.
ried, The same, lib says, is true of
' women.
Marriage, of course, has a' ateadyo
i Ing influence on many men and woo
men, At the same time its cares and
responsibilities may provide, in cer-
tain cases, a positive urge toward*
crime. A man with a family who has
not syfflcient money to steer clear of
debt; for instance, has a atronger mo- .
live for stealing than a man who has
only himself to look to. Yet a man's
love for his wife and fear of what
the result of his discovery' and con•
vietion would bo to his wife and
little ones holds him back from doing
wrong,
The same thing, 1n a greater de-
gree, applies to wuruen, When single
they are, especially in. these days,
when parental control counts for lit-
tle, us free as air. Thewife and
mother, on the other hand, is tied tG
her home, Moreover, she wants het
children to be good, and she realises
that she, cannot preach ono thing to
them and practice another himself.'
In England a young man who corn -
witted a murder admittied .that b*
did 1t in order to get money. to .marry
the girl to whom he had been en-
gaged for a long time. If that man
had had the courage to marry even
into comparative poverty the idea of
murder would .probably never have
entered his mind.
"I guess the reason there are more
unmarried criminals than married
ones is because the tendency to com-
mit crime is stronger . when one's
young," sald.a man .when this matter
was put before ,hint,
That argument was, quashed, how-
ever, when it was proved that 68.1
per cent. of all pribortera, excluding
juvenile, were single men, running
all the way from the young unwed
man to the bachelor of more mature
years,
"Will you allow uie to get i iar-
rled?" . asked a man who was hes-
tenced at Highgate to six months'
iinprisonment for being concerned in
theft. Of course, no hoed was taken"

Old Pairs and Tawdry Lace.
Stourbridgo fair is one of the old-
est institutions of its kind in Eng-
land. Stourbridge is near the famous
University town of Cambridge and
the charter for its fair was formerly
granted in perpetuity by Henry VIII„
and reckoned, in Shakespeare's day,
to be the largest fair in Europe. It
was followed by another famous
autumn fair at -Ely, which is of in-
terest as having enriched our lan-
guage by an epithet. At this Fair of
St, Audry (as St. Etheldreda was af-
fectionately called) a cheap kind of
necklace was sold bearing her name,
in time becoming known as "Tawdry
laces,"' such ns were alluded to by
Shakespeare and other writers of his
day. Thus, in a work called "My
Lady's Looking-Glnes," 1616, the
author laments the passing of a happy
age when a man could woo his wench
at no more expense than a pair of
gloves, a thimble, or a tawdry lace.
In time, the epithet, "tawdry," canto
to mean any such piece of' glittering
tinsel as the fairs provide to this day.

IiRONIC VEXATION OF THE ORCIIARDIST'`
'Every year thous;inde of fruit
gees .bought for one variety begin
bearing fruit of some other variety.
This' is one of the chronic vexations
Of' the orchard bushiest. Some day,
when all orchard trees are certified
true to nam, we fruit growers may
bo spared this cnnual disappointment;
. hut at present these misfit trees are
a real problem.
What are wo to do with them?
Of course, the answer to this ques-
tion depends on many different fac-
tors, but the moot important of these
is just what the substitute variety is
and how seriously it fails to meet the
owner's needs and wishes.
In the light of a fairly wide per-
sonal experience and observation,
however—having had about 1,200
trees which persisted in bearing a
different kind of apple hem that for
which they were bought—the writer
believes that it w! 1 usually pay the
orchardist to accept a considerably
less desirable sort rather than to at-
tempt to graft the tree over.
The principal objections to grafting
the tree over aro the following:
It costs time and money. If one ki
expert enough to do the work himself
this may not be serious, but if the
work must bo hired, the cash outlay
is considerable.
It defers the bearing of the tree
from three to six yearn. This is a
very important item, and of aurae
ono never doe% catch up, and the "de-
ferred dividends" aro a big rtourco
of loss.
The trees frequently do not retop
in good shape, and ono gets n poor,
' weak tree which bears little fruit and
may break down under even that.
This is the most important item of all.
The variety to be worked over deter-
mines this last point to a large extent,
and ono would he justified in grafting
a well -shaped tree like Wolf River,
for example, when it would not pay to
graft such poor growing trees as
Wealthy or Oldenburg.
Just how radical a change in varix
ietios one would be justified in accept-
ing rather than to graft cannot be;
settled on general principles. It is;
somewhat a personal matter, and do -
pends greatly on what other varieties ,'
are already in the orchard.
I would certainly be inclined to ac-
cept any of our standard sorts, say
McIntosh, Baldwin, Wealthy, Graven -
stein, Delicious and Wegener, in lieu
of each other. And the same principle)
would apply to other orchard sections.
If one got such a rank change as
Ben Davis for Melntcsh he would
probably be justified in working them
over.—R.

Some mon succeed at farming and

succeed because of themselves. The
factors of success aro variable, We

can do with an unlikely piece of land.
On the other hand, it is equally sur-
prising how little some men get out
of naturally good farms.
We just enjoyed a visit with n man
living on a light farm who has added
over four thousand dollars to his
bank account with his potato crop
this past season. While his land Is
not of the richest, his brains have
been fertilized with every kind of po-
tato lore, observation and experience
that he could turn under the folds of
his gray shatter, lle supplemented
his second-rate -farm with first-rate

Recently we were told that every

are now covered with .forests. It was
not natural that forests would grow
there. Danish intelligence was re-
sponsible for covering these bald,

step in building up the farm, Taking

sults will show at the bank.

double length of heavy twine, knotted

venient for the worker. In this way
I can do hand sewing on a garment

ger of soiling or wrinkling the ma-
terial.—Mr. D. R.
To Brighten Up Old Buttons—
When making over suits and dresses
I never neglect to brighten up the old
buttons I atm using on the new gar-
ment. Dull pearl buttons may be
brightened by soaking in olive oil or a
good quality machine ell, after which
rub hard with powdered pumice, tal-
cum powder or a good nail polish. The
steel buttons may be cleaned with a
toothbrush and suds. If they are
rusty, use a cleaning powder, Dry
thoroughly and polish. Dust collects
in the design of cut jet buttons. Clean
them by brushing vigoiously with a
soft brush. --M, K.
Doubling the Life of a Shirt. --
Every wife knows that the first places

and this has proved my best "make-

Points to Remember in
Caring for Piano.
1. Keep your piano open at all
times, except when sweeping or dust-
ing, and at night or during rainy
Wash the keys with alcohol,
taking care not to touch any of the
Jhlack keys or varnished surface of the
piano, Also keep a strip of felt on
the keys.
8. To avoid corrosion of the metal
parts, place half -pound of unslacked
lime on the bottom of the piano; when
it is a grand piano, place a quarter -
pound of unslacked lime on the plate.
4. Do not use any of the so-called
furniture polishes, but instead, take
% lemon oil and 1,11 turpentine for
highpolished pianos and 2-3 crude oil
and 1-3 turpentine for dull -finished
pianos. Take a piece oft dry cheese-
cloth that has been previously rinsed
in luke-warm suds and dry thor-
oughly.
5. Have your nano tuned at least
twice a year.
6. Have your piano cleaned every
year during your spring cleaning.
7. Make sure the piano tuner or
repair man is really nn expert in his
line. If in doubt, phone your order
to the company to whom you have
purchased your piano, as they are
really best qualified to give your in-
strument the proper nttention.
If you keep these points in mind,
the average good make piano should
last from twenty-five to thirty-five
years,

Do you ever look around the houae
and wish the furniture did not look
so shebhy? It always appears worse
in the spring when the sunshine
shows up every defect. If you have
clever fingers, can use hammer and
tacks, a pair of scissors, needle and
thread, glue and a paintbrush you can
do much towar•drejuvenation.
When the webbing strips and cam-
bric on the bottom of nn upholstered

for the turned -under edges, as they
one of course not needed for the net-
ting.
With small Eize, duble-headed tacks
nail it intp the chair frame where the
cambric came oft', without disturbing
the webbing. Then cover it with a
piece of new cambric and you will
have a seat stronger than when it was
.new,
If the spring breaks loose at the top,
there is no use in just pushing it back
expecting it to stay. Instead, take
a piece of tin, of a diameter a trifle
larger than that of the ,spring, and
with its edges bent down to make it
mushroom shape, liave four holes
through this piece of tin. Reach up
and put it over the top of the unruly
spring.
Pull it firmly down with cord that
you have passed through the four
holes. Tie it down on the spring head
as you would tie on a bonnet.
When this has been done it is en-
tirely out of sight and will prevent
the loosened end of the spring from
.working through the upholstery,

STOCK.
John, living Over on the 4th, told this story.
Just five years ago I took account of myself, Then I
started to weigh the milk from my herd of nondescript
cows. In four months I had sold seven and in twelve
months I only had two of my original herd, but had
bought four more. My herd was reduced to six, but I
was getting as much milk as from the 18. Now I have 15
cows, some pure bred and others good grade and a real
good bull.
"Am I making any money?"
"Well you can bet your hat I'm not losing any."

A very funny little fable C011108 down
from the remote past, the story of
"Boll the Cat,"
It seems that the mice were kept
pretty busy escaping front eats and
they knew not What to do. Tito cats
could creep up very allently and as the
mice could nut hoar their footateps, It
was a dangeroua thing for any mouse
to do much else but keep his eyes open
for cats. •
One day the king of the mice called
a general meeting of mice and there
were millions at the place when the
dine came.
After a great deal of talking and
fighting It was decided that the best
thing to do would be to make a large
number of bells and fasten a bell to
every cat so the mice could always
hear the eats when they were after
them. •
After a great deal of labor metals
were procured and everything svas
ready to cast a great number Of InAls,
Jest ns they were about to pour the
rnfstal a wise little mouse Jumped into
the place and said:
"Who will bell the cats?"
:111 the mice scratched their heads
for this was a very strange problem.
They thought about the matter for a
long time and then every mouse went
home and forgot all about the bolls,
