But -there was no trace of anything but pure friendliness in her manner and tone when she entered the library that afternoon to bid him welcome to Stair. "I have to apologize for this in- trusion," he said in his frankest, mostl winning manner. "I excuse it on two grounds—Miss Rankine has written to tell me you are mistress here, and though it would have been kinder tf you had told me yourself at the be- ginning"'I believe I am forgiven for my importunity. The second is, I want you to come hack. I've got something else. I've brought it with ate, and if you will let me stop twenty- four hours at the Ayr Hotel until you've got time to Tian your eyes over it, I believe you won't send inc away empty-handed." Carlotta slightly shook her; head. "You are welcome to Stair, Gra- ham, and if your traps are at tire; hotel, some of them will fetch them' up. I shall be pleased' to 'read the new play, but—but—I don't think I am going .back." Graham Madox .locked- a trifle dis- appointed. "1 understand holy: you•..must care about! this •beautiful- home,' he said, glancing round the room with a slight hesitancy;'" but it is not possible nor right that you should give the whole of your life to it when the world needs you so much." "I must at least wait until my hus- hand comes back," said Carlotta quiet- ly. "I think he is on his way now. After that we can talk it over. _ But meanwhile do let -me send down for your things, and come turd talk to Judy. Although she was very angry with you in New York and would not say good-bye to you, she has forgiven you long since." Madox smiled. He had always liked Judith Rankine and respected her as a type of very high and noble woman- hood. Sometimes her Scotch out- spokenness had somewhat discomfited his more plausible English...uittrn'e, which shrinks from calling a'stihde a spade. Judy had not, shrunk from that, and in one rather sharp passage between then in the sitting -room at the holland House in New York she had reminded him that Carlotta was in her care, and that he had to. keep Iris distance (the very words Judy had used) and confine his attentions strict- ly to business themes, Carlotta had not heard of this little scene until after Judy's boat had sailed, and then, instead of being amused as Madox had fully expected, she had been deep- ly moved. When Madox seemed to hesitate Carlotta went on: "Papa and mamma will be. here not later than Tuesday of 'next week to stay, We shall love to show you Scot- land properly. All you know of it now is a Glasgow hotel in winter! It is different here." Madox admitted that it was. "Seeing you inn place like this, my dear," he said with a touch of sadness in his tone, "ono night well hest - 1 had got strangely detached from— from all this, and I was able to bring hint sharply back. But he has come back with all his might, my dear, you may take it front rue, And Witt a sure thing that if we had been able to charter one of the new flying ma- chines at Quebec we never should have crossed the Atlantic in the usual way" "You did that, Peter! You!" "Yes. It is all I lay claim to do. I talked and talked and better talked until I got Stair into his blood again. The spell of the Yukon is something like the evil spirit of old—it takes exorcising! Now I'm going to my mother, Judy, and you can find Alan. You've no need for me at Stair to- day." "No need for you at Stair, indeed!" cried Judy indignantly, "when but for you this day would never have dawn- ed for Stair!" Judy's face was infinitely pathetic, for at the back of her mind was tho deep-rooted conviction that she had rendered her last service to Stair, and that the two, now re -united, would henceforth have but little need . of her.

Judy, mooning in t.he•sunshine on the terrace steps, amused herself by throwing little pebbles from the path into the round pond where the gold- fish disported themselves, .watching; the eddies rise and spread across the; clear surface. She did not hear the wheels, for the very good reason that!. the whole solid block of the masonry of the house intervened. Presently she rose with a little sigh and thought she would go iii and see how the interview was progressing, when a figure appeared at the far end of the terrace, having come round the gable of the house. "Oh, Peter!" cried Judy, and ran, ;her face blanching white in the merci-' less sunlight, and her eyes pitiful, al- most anguished in their depths. "It I was no good. You heard nothing? Oh, poor Carlotta, her heart will surely break this time!" • "My dear," said Peter Garvock, , "Alan is here. They are—they are somewhere in front. Don't go near I them just yet.

"But oh, does that matter after all, Peter?, When one !conies down. to the bedrock of things it isn't. places that matter. --only peo- ple! We have set Stair up too high, and we have had to pay the price. Oh, 1 want to go to them—and yet I daren't." "Doh't go yet,"pleaded Peter Gar- vock with a strange, new gentleness and consideration which began to astound Judy, and to push .other things into the backgrtund of her mind, • Suddenly she looked -at hirn with an odd steadfastness and inquiry, almost as one might look at some ob- ject, long familiar, which suddenly presents some new. and unfamiliar phare. "Peter, you are great! There is a lot more behind all this than meets the eye, Tell me this- very minute _whore you found Alan."

Stavanger, Mr, Jaaa- rtacl's home city, has played an impor- tant part in the history of Norwegian emigration, as it was from its harbor the "ltestaurattonen" set sail for Now York one hundred years ago, in com- memoration of which event hundreds of thousands of Norwegians gathered at Mlnneapoltsrecently to celebrate the centennial of Norwegian emigra- tion. Emigration from Norway has, dur- ing the last fifty years, averaged about 14,000 annually, Under the new U.S. quota regulations the total emigration to the United States will, as fax as Norway is concerned, be restricted to some two thousand, beginning July 1, 1927. "This condition of affairs," Mr, Jaarstad says, "hag. soused intending emigrants to look to other countries where they may hope to find oppor- tunities equal to those offered in tI\e U.S.A. in previous years," "Such a country is Caitada," says Mr, Jaarstad, "Canada is yet on the threshold of its development. It Is a country of great agricultural possi- bilities and with undeveloped natural resources, which offer rich reward to those who have the will to work. "Unfortunately, Canada is not as well known in Norway as its groat neighbor to the South," says tho writer., ';During the last few months the press has given publicity, to de- famatory articles, which oui1` country men in Canada brand as deliberate in- sult to them and the country of their adoption, articles which are muislead- ing and written with the view of frightening intending emigrants." Advises Countrymen Go to Canada. For the purpose of setting public opinion right with regard to Canada, Mx. Jaarstad has contributed some ex- cellent articles, containing a wealth of information about the country, its development during the past few years and its poseibilitleq • for future mi. grants. During a recent business trip to Canada, j1r, •Jaaa'stacl had occasion to visit the principal Norwwegian conununitles in Canada, interviewing countrymen who had lived for several years In the country, and the impres- sions which he received and now re- lates were very favorable, Mr. Jaarstad calls attention to the fact that lu the five year period pre- ceeding the .war there wes quite a movement of Scandinavian emigrants to Canada. This direct emigration, was, however, squall in comparison with the emigration of Scandinavians from the States to the Pralrle Pro- vinces of Canada. Thousands of Nor• weglan•Americans, pioneers and their sons, changed their domicile from the Executive of Canadian Week ly Newspaper's' Association. • Learned the printing busi- ness iii Galt, go7 ing west twenty- seven year; ago where he built. up The Vernon (13.0.)

"Caimada is not an industrial coun- try," says• the writer. "Those who wish for nothing butter than to work in shops and factories, had better re- main at home. Yet, thousands of arti- sans and common laborers, who canto to Canada a few years ago and found farm employment, aro now located on farms of their own, whore thoy aro never disturbed by the shrill whistle of the factory, These people do not regret their change of occupation. They consider the soil of Canada the best in the world." "Tl?ero is only one country which has been able to produce 40 to 60 bushels of wheat to the acre and No. 1 Iiard at that. That country is Can- ada. The average crop is 18.30 bush- els to the acre, a very profitable yield. Of course in a country of such dimen- sions, both good and inferior land Is to bo found, but there is such an abundance of excellent land that no settler with eyed to see with, need lilt inferior soil." Gives Much Authentic Information. Mr. Jaarstad devotes considerable space to geographical and statistical .information about Canada, its agri- cultural and commercial progress dor. Ing the last twenty years. in conclu• slon he says: "Canada stands on the threshold of its development. Only a fraction of its natural resources aro developed. Only the surface. has been scratched, as it. wore. Tho develop- , ment of the • country has been inter'., feted with by the war and the period of readjustment which followed.

I culled, "I looks as though you might be putting down a foundation for one of those German siege guns. What's all the sand and cement for?" "Bello there, Jerry," said Will. "Como on down in tho hole and take a shovel, We're going to build a sep- tic tank." / "You're going to build what kind of a tank?" said 1. "A septic tank. A concrete septic tank," said he, "Going to use it for dipping hogs or sheep?" I asked, "Neither one," said Will. "Going to use it to hold the sewage and waste water from the bathroom and kitchen at tho house." • "That's a new one on me," I ad- mitted. "Go ahead and tell mo about it. I'm always looking for new ideas. Maybe I can understand this ono if you'll explain It a bit." "Well', it's just this way," Will said, as ho came up the ladder and sat down on a bag of cement. "I've been hear- ing about these new-fangled septic tanks for some time, Ono day last up at the college and se:1 thein to you at cost.

"Well, what becomes of this water when the siphon dumps it all out?" "I'm going to lay n few hundred feet of common drain tilo in several directions from the tank and that water will flow from the tank onto those tiles unci filter away into the I soil. That's what they call an absorp- tion system," said Will. "Don't you have to add any chem- icals to kill the germs?" I asked, "No, you don't add a thing. The bacteria within the sewage convert tho solids to liquid and this liquid is absorbed by the soil." "Well, does this tank kill the germs?" "Now that's something I asked thie engineering fellow and ho explained it in this way: He said that if disease germs entered the tank, they would not bo destroyed tit all inside the tank; they'd pass right through, But lie avid that there are certain bacteria in the upper layers of the soil which would destroy these disease germs as ruse] there was a follow hero selling soon as the water gets into tho soil, subscriptions to a farm paper, and These bacteria are only in the upper while he was showing mo some of tho Payers, That's why you lay the tile pretty shallow."

Mr. Augustine Dirndl, the Ptatce- man and essayist, once found himself in an embarrassing position in a third-class railway carriage. Jumping in just as the train was moving, he sat down hurriedly next to a little girl in a shawl, -He glanced at her atter a minute or two and noticed ,.;.lit she was regarding him with no great favor. Then it dawned on him that he was sitting on her newspaper. "Here, my dear," said Mr. Birrell. at unce pulling it from under him; "I'n1 sorry " Still the child did not seem sails- ' fled; but she Bald nothing till the train stopped, when, rising to get out, she asked, meetly, "Please, sir, may I have my fried fish? You're eittiug on It." Another story concerns an ardent gulfer who decided to play an extra round, and asked a friend to tele- phone to his, the golfer's, wife saying that he would not be hone for lunch, Tile friend unfortunately forgot to do this. The golfer went on playtng until dark, while the distressed wife worked herself up into a state of frantic excitement at his non-appear- ance. "Mummy'," said the golfer's small slaughter, "if daddy doesn't come home to -night, shall you marry again?" A shipwrecked missionary, under the impression that he had landed OA a cannibal Island, climbed up a tree every night to be out of reach of the natives, One night he saw a great tiro, and thought the natives were getting ready to roast him. He was reassured, however, by hearing a voice at the fire say, "Flank! Malik!! You've played the wrong cited!„ "Thank goodness," exclaimed the clergyman, fervently; "they' must be Christian!" On one occasion Mr. Burgin was Flown round Sanger'e Circus by the fiunous "Lord" George Sanger. At that period, says the author, the great attraction was the Pig -faced Lady, grid the way they made a Pig -faced f.ady ,vas to get a bear, brown or black, and shave its face and paws. ''then It was dressed up and sat in a chair with a strap round its waist, with a man hidden behind the chair," • The man who introduced the Pig - Need Lady to the audience would say; "I will next introduce to your notice that wonderful freak of na- ture, Madame Btevone, the Pig -faced Lady. Well, madame, how are you this morning?" No answer. "Are you very well?" Man behind stirs bear, Madame Stevens grunts, "Will you be good enough to tell tile ladies and gentlemen your age?" .: No answer. "011, I suppose you are too old and particular, and wouldn't like to make it known, Well, ladles are always like that and don't care to tell, But I suppose you are right." Grunt from Madame Stevens. "Would you like to marry?" Emphatic grunt. 1 "Would you very much like t• marry?" , The fellow behind the bear would then give it Several digs in the ribs, ;and the hear would grunt half -i- doaen times with emphasis, "If any lot you want a nice, quiet, 'worthy 'wife," the showman would continue, '.I''tibw's your time, gentlemen," and 800 would go on.

It was the third of the old Roman calendar. The origin of the name Is disputed. One account. is to the effect that the name Is derived from :Slain, the mother of the god Mercury, in the Roman mythology, the i crsetoter of Jupiter and, there- fore, always represented with winged feet, Of course, the ancient Roman were pagans, and one of the religious rites was a sacrifice on the first day of the month to Mala, In time a whole month was dedicated to her, and so the month was called after her, and in our language the ltanl takes the forst of May. On efay 1)ay the ancient Romana used to go in procession to the grotto of Egeria, and from April 28 to Nay 2 was observed tho festival in honer of Flora, the goddess of Dowers. Of course, in southern Italy spring 1:3 considerably earlier than it is in our country, and at the opening or May flowers are in abundance there and at the aetght of their bloom. There is another explanation et the name -one more dignitled and wholly independent of the gudr, Wool goddesses of Roman illytholegy, Der - leg its earliest history Rome lee! kings and a senate or legislature. T11+' senate was divided into two oraneht'a --one composed of the elders end higher inembers, called the "1'•a- )01.08" or ":lfalores," and all interim. branch composed of the ''Juniores," the younger nletnheys and, therefore, lower in rank, May, it is said, was the month assigned in honor of the "Majnres," and June the mouth as- signed in honor of the "Junioree," By our Saxon forefathers the month was called Tri-Milchl, with an understood reference to the improved condition of the cattle under benefit of tho fresh, tender grass due to spring, the cows now being able to yield milk thrice a day. In England of the Middle Ages and of the Tudor sovereigns, May Day was a great public holiday, All classes of the people, young and old alike, were up with the dawn, and went "a-Maytng" in the woods. Branches of trees and flowers were borne back in triumph to the towns and villages, the centre of the procession being occupied by those who shouldered the maypole, glorious with ribbons and wreaths. The maypole was usually of birch, and set up for the day only; but in London and the larger towns, the pole was of durable wood, and permanently erected. These maypoles were eyesores to the Puritans. One of their early writers, John Stubbs, 111 his "Anatomy of Abuses," produc- ed in 1583, speaks of them as those "stinkying idols," about which the peapie "leap and daunce, as the hea- then did."' Maypoles were forbidden by the Parliament of 1644 but Caine once more into favor at the Restoration, the last to be erected in London bo- ing that set up in 1661. This polo, which was of cedar, 134 feet high, was set up by twelve English sailors under the personal supervision of the Duke of York, later King James 11,, whom the Revolution of 1688 de- posed. At that time the Duke of York was at the head of the navy with the title High Admiral. The pole was set up in the Strand. It remained standing for fifty-six years, for it was not taken down until 1717, when it was conveyed to Waneltcad Park in Essex, where it was fixed by the famous scientist, -Sir Isaac Newton, as part of the support of a large telescope, presented to the Royal Society by a French astron- omer.

From the ad- ministration of the Crown lauds, the Treasury obtains an annual net pro- fit of $4,600,000. The second tact is that the Gov- ernment administers for the King thu Duchy of Lancaster, which belongs to him Os the royal successor of Ed- ward 111. Tho annual profit from ..he Duchy is $300,000.

Many of the pal- 110es now aro given over to sight- seers, Unly Buckingham Palace in London and Windsor Palace in the country are used by the King and Queen. The first was purchased from ;ho Duke of liuckingllam by ICing seorgu 1II. Windsor was built by \'1'Iti;uuh the Conqueror and passed down from king to king, since tho eleventh century. York Cottage, the simple country place, Must preferred by tho reigning Boost?, was purchased by King Ed- ward VII., and paid for out of his own fortune. Despite the huge credits granted to 111m each year, the King probably has little left, after ho pays all his ex- penses and meets the valtous de- mands on his purse, including the innumerable charitable donations. Thu Prince of Wales also is self- suppor,ing. The Duchy of Cornwall is the hereditary property of the Prince of Wales. The not revenue front the Duchy is $168,000 a year.

Tho longest pedigree in the world so far as science can discover belongs to the "splieuedon," which can boast an ancestry of eight million years duration. Tho sphenedon is found on a tiny island off the coast of Ne.w Zealand. There is nothing quite like it anywhere else. The sphenedon Is a reptile and is a mixture of croco- dile, snalte, turtle, and lizard. As a chatter of fact, it is probably the ancestor of all those creatures, but in the process of evolution through countess egos, the "children" have altered and split up into a hundred and one different "families," The sphenedon, however, has gone on its way unchanged and is exactly as it was eight million years ago. This prehistoric creature shows greatest ahnilsu'ity to the lizard. It has four short legs and a loug tail. Its face ie rather like that of a fish and there is a hard ridge on the top of its head and down its back, The dinosaur and octet' prehistoric animals are of quite recent date comptlrod with the sphenedon. It is generally supposed that the dinosaur disappeared off the earth a mere three million years ago! Fish That Sing and Hoot., The Island of Ceylon produces an anomaly in a shellfish of the rhussel type which sings. While it does not warble like a bird or an opera sing- er, it produces a long, low, fluty sound, which has a musical quality. Seeing that these bivalves do not pos- sess a throat in any accepted souse of the word, and certainly no vocal cords, this singing sound roust be produced by some manipulation of their doable shell. It is possiblo'that increnshlg dryness does the trick, for tate round -only occurs after the tide has %Alen clown for a considerable time, having the bivalves high and dry on the rocky beach.

A CREAT LITTLE NATIDk VIVID WORD -PICTURES OF LAND OF ROMANCE, A11 the Hustle of Modern Commerce Hubs Shoulders with Picturesque Tradition In Creche Slovak.' -- Own Their Own Farms. If you are a pilgrim of the pic- turesque, seeking beauty and color amid the drab bustle of modern in- dustrialism, you cannot do better than go to that great new country which has grown up amid the debris of dead empires with which Central Europe Is littered, says Prof. W. Caldwell, of McGill University, Indeed, it you first see it on a tete day, you w111 probably think that In Czecho Slovakia you have found the modern Arcady. For then the peas- antry don their national ooatunies, making street and market -place a picture impossible to rival elsewhere. No shop -made or factory clothtngs there; but garments woven and em- t,roidercd with infinite skill and pa- tience by the women of the peasantry themselves, No one who has ouee 8,:en a village festival in this little - lino -wit country, which is now taking its place among the nations of Igu- rope, can ever forget the experience, or recall it without a thrill of delight in its vividly remembered beauty. But that is only one side. Tho life of the peasantry is by no means all holiday, Nowhere else In Europe, unless, indeed, it be among the frugal husbandulen of France or those un- tiring agricultural workers who have made Denmark so prosperous, will you find the tillers of the fields work- ing so early and so late as in Czecho SloTvithol:Jaw. oolen work as hard as tho men. Indeed, British and American visitors are frequently surprised to see the way in which women labor, barefooted, in the fields, and fre- quently under a sun so hot as to make the slightest exertion uncom- fortable to those accustomed to a cooler' climate. The heavy burdens carried by these workers are also adversely commented on by the stranger. Another thing the traveller notices In Czecho Slovakia is the enormous number of cattle everywhere. They roans out of the fields into the vil- lages nod country towns as it they knew their way about, In every vil- lage, too, are great geese p011d8, and lnnumerable•geese wander In and out of the doors of the betides. Czecho Slovakia, indeed, Is a rich country in every way. Everybody or nearly everybody seems to bo occu- pied, to have enough to eat, and to look fairly comfortable and satisfied. The new state has great naturai,re- sources, minerals, timber, water pow- er, and; aboye all, fertile land, and an industrious peasantry. Probably no soil in the world has been worked over so thoroughly for so many ages as that in old Bohemia, Moravia, and Slovakia. Then, too, there are some old - established and famous industries; for the country Is by no means purely agricultural. We have all heard of tho famous Bohemian glass, and pos- sibly alio of the textiles and the great sugar industry of that province; its fatuous Pilsen beer, and so on. Much has been done in the way of progressive social legislation. Acci- dent and sickness insurance, matern- ity insurance, old age and disability pensions, unemployment insurance, etc., have, for instance, all been n'o- vided for, ' This, indeed, is porhap"s hardly to be wondered at, for all the political parties in the republic are social re- form parties, as their labels bear wit- ness. The biggest section in the Parliament, for example, is tho Social Democratic Party. ' There is also a Socialist Party, another group known as the German Social Dontocracyw and the Agrarian, or country party. ."AI Iii a country where so large 114f•o- , portion of the population are worltertt on the land, the Agrarian deputies aro naturally the mainstay of. every Government, and any Ministry which offends them is not likely to endure very long, There Is also a Communist Party, but Communism has been so dis- credited by the economic collapse of Russia that its advocates cut very lit - , ice in Czecho Slovakia. For one\ thing, the old landlords, for the most. part German or Austrian aristocrats, were practically driven out of the, country, and thoir big estates have, by a system of land purchase, passed into the hands of small owners, This has not only removed a long- standing "grievance on the part of the peasants, but makes them,, now that they are In many oases the proprie- tors of their lands, little likely. to entertain Communist 'Proposals with enthusiasm: ' There Is, too, a Widespread admir- ation of British institutions, and an interest in British thought which should serve arta further corrective to revolutionary doctrine. English 11. eagerly studied by thousands of peo- ple in cities and towns, and,n great many,Britishors are earning their 1iV- Ing by teaching the language to those eager students.

The huge electrical switchboard contains more than 300 switches,' controlling 1;000` stage lights, and there are ninoty-coutttor- welghted linos iter' lifting seenory, L , The Automobile '"ARE -REQUIRED TO FFEU The ono substance which the auto- mobile requires more of than any other is gasoline. It is the motor vehicle's main rtalon. For no other single rea- son den the motorist stop his machine at a si■rvicing shop so often ns for gasoline. Consequently it Is not a bad , idea for the car owner to know some- thing about his machine's principal diet. IL will not cheer him to learn that gasoline engines are only ubout 20 per cent. efficient in direct propelling of the car. He has heard efficiency exports declare that hunuul beings aro only about one-fifth as useful as they) might be. Don't conclude that 80 per cent. of ti-) gasoline is wasted. It is merely necessary to use the 80 per cent. in' ('.her ways to get the 20 per cent. applied directly on the business of moving the car forward. Engineers through exhaustive ex- periments have made it also possible for a gasoline engine to be better than 20 per cent. efficient. However, this has been accomplished somewhat at a sacrifice of ease and comfort. But most owners do not want greater mileage per gallon of gas at a big sacrifice of comfort. And there you are. DIFFERENT PLANS OF FUEL. For example, one may adjust the, carburetor so that a very lean bixturo of gas is used. Result, a high mileage per gallon of gas but slow accelera- tion, poor hi:1 climbing, difficult regu- lar running of the engine when at a. low temperature and exceptional skill: required for driving. Or a designer may increase the com- pression. But when there is a steep hill to ascend, a big load to haul or' n slight accumulation of carbon the engine will probably knock. Motor I fuo'.:.s aro now being developed that will operate under higher compression without causing knocking, and there - ford increase in efficiency, This may bo the rule in the near future. About 35 per cent. of this 80 per cent. loss can be accounted for by the water jacket. This loss is necessary in order to keep the various parts cool enough to operate. The temperature of the burning mixture being about 3,000 degrees, when brought in contact with the metal parts of the engine na- turally wou:d burn the lubricating oil from their surfaces, so that the piston 1 evould not slide .up and down in the cylinders. It would heat the metal GAS TO AUTO PROPERLY. parts so that to control the ign;tion would bo impossible. The water packet is to cool these metal parts so that a film of oil can be maintained. But in doing this con- siderable heat generated by the gas- oline is carried off and cannot be used in moving the car. The exhaust accounts for another 35 per cent. It would be impractic- able to design an engine that would expand the gas down to no pressure. Such an engine wou:d need to be bu:lcy artcompared with the present types. The exhaust valve is set to open when there is still considerable') res - Hum in the cylinders. This pressure means, of course, that there is stall heat in the cylinders, that the gas is still burning. The gas engine is a heat engine; that it, it derives its power from heat. Therefore, when the cylinder exhaust valve is opened while theme is still haat in the engine, about 86 per cent. of the total amount of heat generated by burning the gaso- line is lost. Another reason why this loss is necessary is because time must bo given to clean the cylindess of burning gas on ono stroke so it can take in a charge of fresh gas on the next. FRICTION COSTS 10 PER CENT. Friction mostly accounts for the other 10 per cent.. of loss. In order to use tho heat developed, it is necessary to have sone sort of mechanical de- vices that slide over each other, such as the pistons in the cylinders and bearings that hold the crank shaft in place. Wherever these sliding parts come there also comes friction. Some little power also must bo expended to bperato the cooling fan, the valves, lubricating pump, ignition device, generator for charging the batteries and, in most cases, water circulating pump. Those wishing to get the highest possible gasoline power, should exer- cise great care in keeping the carbur- etor properly adjusted, in operating' the spark scientifically and in watch- ing the radiator. Some cars have a thermostat control of the radiator shutters, which open or close them as the engine gets hot or cold. These help to keep the engine operating at the best temperature. The quality and quantity of oil should be watched carefully. There is a little friction in the oil itself. Use an oil as light as possible so that. there will me a minimum of friction and yet heavy enough to insure keep- ing the metal parts separated.

It is not so long since a good gravel road was the acme of perfection to road building and thoso using the roads were delighted with highways of this description.

A Canadian farmer is still well satisfied with gra- vel roads and even the fact that lie cannot travel exclusively on this class of roadway does not deter hint from getting to any point lie wishes. An occasional 'detcur is accepted as in- evitable and is made the best of. The city man, however, having be- COtlle accustomed to paved streets, ex- pects to have these provided whereyer lie has the will to go, hHe may com- plalri of his frontage tax on his 33 or 50 feet of pavement, but he cannot see why in front of the thousand or more feet of frontage of the individual farm the roadways are not all paved, True, he would lilte to whizz by on smooth highways just to got to some destina- tion, forgetful entirely .of the inter- mediate scenery or of the fact that the roadway was not built for Ills exclu- sive me.

WANTEED FARMERS DRIED APPLES � E. SENDER, BLYTH,ONT._ Letter From Charles Barrett. Abernethy, Cct. 15. 1925. Mr, J. 1I. R. Elliott. Dear sir, -I am writing you a short des - el lotion es•tription of my trip to the West and you may publish it if you think it worthy. On the meaning of the 21st of August I was amongst the number of harvesters hoarding the C. P. R train from Toronto enroute to the grain fields of the West' Arriving at the Union Station. Toronto, all was hustle and hurryiag to and fro with luggage, as is usual on such excur• ;ions. Everyone intent on securing a seat aboard, and officials shouting "fill every seat." At a quarter to twelve we heard the shout "all aboard" and immediately the train Was in motion. starthg on the long pull of upwards of 11CO miles to Win nigeg with human freight of 130G souls. Everyone aboard was in good humor and the time passed alonvery pleasantly Mr. Little, of Hullett, was several cars ahead and many times a day I sauntered up to while away the hours in frienly chat Our train consisted of 22 coaches. The ladies with their e,lcrts were in the front c ars; 1 tool; a jour ney up to the front and in 't Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McCall, of Wal- ton. We were two nights aboard, but the longest lane hae its turn and Sunday about half past three p. m ee artivcd safely in the 'peg Evatyone harriedly secured their tiekets and got aboard the harvesters' special which was due to leave on its last lap of the journey at 6 p, m. Before steaming out a sad accident occurred. A young man's life was Euuffed out in a few minute!. He j=ampecl off the steps of the the, coach 1 was in, just as several coaches were being Ehurted backward, and was rolled under the wheels, He was from Markham and was 25 years old. We saw a great many stooks that night nod in several places they had started ihreahing. As my brother John. lives at ttucanvi;le on the way to Abernethy, I enjoyed a visit With him over night. Har viet was in full swing when I arrived here They were cutting a very good crop. I Hooted to stook on Aug. 26 and threshed on Sept. 11, On Tuesday, Sept. 20. we had quite a snow storm which did not go away until the following Friday and was doing ricely when on Sunday another snow storm put a sad crimp in threshing prospects and the stooks were not free of :•riow until the folipw•ing Friday, but sad to relate a Iowering sky on Saturday morn ing and rain falling by 8olock. Tonight, 'fnursday, Oct, 15th, is pretty cold, but prospects look better for threshing Hope to get started again soon. Wheat has been t mining all the way from .0 to 40 bushels per acre in this district, quite a lot at 30. A little over half is threshed. On quite a few farms not a sheaf is threshed. The outfit I am on have two weeks threshing yet. Yours truly, Charles Barrett. tvlrs. t1.
