Goderich and Clinton Meet In Group Finals Those two staunch old rivals, Gode- rich and Clinton, survived in the semi- finals of the north section of the Hu- Ion-Perth u•non•Perth League and now will meet in the finals, the winner to go on to meet the winners of the southern sec- tion of the group. We understand the first game of the finals gets underway to -night in •Goderich, with the return game in Clinton on Friday night, It a third game is necessary it will prob• ably be Inlayed in Clinton. Monday evening Goderich eliminat- ed Hensall in the third game of their series at Goderich. in a close strug- gle, the final score being 4.1-. Gordle Irwin pitched great ball for the Sail- ors, allowing only six hits, walking none and striking out twelve Hensall batsmen. iKipfer, for Hensall, go footftt•N Kifer, for Hensall, got off to a rath- er shaky start, giving up three runs In the opening inning, 'tut after that settled down and pitched seven -hit ball. He struck out seven Goderich. batters. Clinton eliminated Zurich in the other half of the semi-final in two straight games, by rather lob -sided scores. The Colts from the Hub -town have had a little lay-off. waiting for Goderich. Usually they don't go too hot after too long a rest but front what we've seen of them this year tney should take the Sailors measure, al- though you never can tell. Rivalry between teams from these two towns has always been keen, and quite often It's the one with the most grit and determination that wins, Any way it should be a good series. Brigade Leaves Too Soon The Clinton Fire Brigade, resplen• dant in their blue dress uniform Jour- neyed to Barrie over Civic Holiday, accompanied by the Clinton Pipe Band, where they took part in activt• ties and frivolities indulged in by fire- fighters on occasions such as this. The Brigade was headed in the parade ,by the Clinton 'Pipe Band, Drum Ma- jor Morgan, in the lead, So strong was the impression glade by these fine looking gentlemen that the judges decided to award them first prize for the best -dressed company to the par ale. But, alas, when the officials started looking around for the proper authorities in an endeavour to award the prize, they found that the best - dressed company had "flew the cools". The boys must have gotten home -sick and went home. Toward the end of the week, how- ever, Fire Chief Cree received the pleasant surprise by letter that his boys had won the prize, a large silver trophy, which was being' mailed to hint. The trophy is on display In the Agricultural office window. Clinton. There were 48 companies it the par- add.

YOUR GUIDE TO SAFE BUYING In this clay and age the advertising columns of a newspaper, magazine, or any other publication, has become the buying guide for many thousands of shoppers. The amount of money and the care devoted to both radio and newspaper advertising by the large. firms, and many of the smaller ones tco, will, we think, bear out ti's statement. They realize the necessity of it in order to survive in a time when competition is probably the keenest In the history of the human race. On the other hand the buying public have come to respect advertis• 'n3, to a pint almost where they arc 'he most -read columns in any publica- tion. They look upon an advertise- ment as a matter cf good faith be- tween themselves and their local grip cer, their drygoods merchant, their butcher, etc. And as if in appreciation of this fact fact, the advertiser tries at times to have on his shelves quality merchandise at the most popular price, The Standard carr'es in it's adver- tising columns advertisements by many good reliable Blyth merchants.

Paode 'Commentary on the Highlights of the Week's Nein e ELIMINATION CONTEST: — Directors of the Kent County Mo- tor Club, with headquarters at Chatham, are contemplating for- warding a recommendation to the Ontario Department of Highways urging a change in_ the Highway Traffic Act by which motor car drivers will be required to submit to periodical tests for ability in handling a car and also for phy- sical fitness. Such a course of ac- tion would result in the elimin- ati:ot of a great many incompetent drivers who make our roads un- safe to venture upon by day or by night. 1t would withdraw from circulation not only hare -brained youths and epileptics but men well up in their seventies now found behind the wheel of a car. And speaking of constructive suggestions, the same Motor Club urges that the city of Chatham establish a school for drivers. TO BRIDGE OR NOT TO BRIDGE: Whether the Senate gives permission or no, Ontario and New York State are going to go ahead and build a new inter- national bridge at Niagara Falls, and that right speedily, according to the Province's Minister of Highways, Hon. T. B. McQuesten. The fact that the International Railway Company already has a charter to construct a similar bridge will have no bearing on the clatter. To take the place of the famed "Honeymoon Bridge" swept away in January last by ice break-ups, the new structure, longer and higher, will be started before spring, it is announced, as soon as plans and engineering details can be completed. The attitude of the Ontario Government is that the Dominion Government has no right to interfere with the busi- ness of the province and cannot keep Ontario and New York state authorities from carrying through their project. Who knows but that we may yet end up with two bridges on the same spot. BREAK WITH THE POPE: Mussolini, being a cleverer man than his fellow -dictator, Hitler, has during his sixteen years in office scrupulously avoided any trouble with Pope Pius XI or with the Catholic Church. That is, up until this summer. Now, the lid is off. The new racist theories (anti-Jewish, anti- Catholic) of the Italian Fascist re- gime are the point of contention. Declaring first that Italy is sim- ply imitating Germany, the Pope has ladled out at Mussolini, re- pudiating all racist theories, in- cluding the Italian ones. Ile con- demns them as contrary to the very essence of the Catholic faith. ItaLan authorities have threaten- ed to declare :membership in the Catholic Action Associations in- compatible with membership in the hascist Party. And the fight is on. Mussolini, stung to the quick by the assertion that he is merely imitating Hitler, is ready for a baffle royal with the Pope. "We'll go straight ahead!" he shouts. The signifi- cance here is that Mussolini used that same phrase, "We'll go straight ahead," when the League of Nations tried to stop the Ital- ian invasion of Abyssinia. He weint straight ahead then, has con- tinued to do so ever since. CANADA REPRESENTED: — Tucked away at the bottom of a dispatch from Breslau, Germany, last week was the unobtrusive ]Mention that Germans from Can- ada paraded before herr Hitler at the National German Gymnas- tic Festival, Together with 200,- 000 other German-speaking repre- sentatives from the four corners of the globe, these people from our Dominion marched past the Fuehrer, performed an act of homage and proclaimed undying constancy its their German origin. How long has this been going on? AXES TO GRiND: In our col- umn two weeks ago we stated that when the Ronne -Merlin -Tokio axis is working well, Japan is able by creating 0 ruckus on the Russ- ian-.11anchoukuoal border to draw attention away from what Italy and Germany are up to in Eur- ope. But Russia has an axe to grind too, perhaps. By allot':ing the 1Ianchoukoual border inci- dent to appear more serious than it really is, she succeeds in draw- ing several Japanese army divi- sions to the scene, so far off that were they needed in the conflict in China, they would not be avail - 'able. Also if the Japanese cam- paign in China is at the stage where it must have every rein- forcement, a conflict with Russia will prolong the Sino -Jap war, weaken Japan immeasurably from both the economic and military standpoints. 41 by Peter Randal (How it all started: On July 29 a small Japanese force occu- pied the northern heights of Changkufeng which Russia claims are in Soviet territory; Japan in- sists that they are in Jap -controlled Maochoukuo, Soviet frontier guards ejected the Japanese. Early on the morning of July 31 the Jap. anese attacked in strength, seized the whole line of the heights to a depth of two and a halt miles. Then Russian divisions regained the po- sition. And so it went. Nobody really knows who owns those heights, the border is so ill-defin- ed). THE WEEK'S QUESTION: What European Country will likely be next to join the Rome -Berlin axis? Answer—Hungary, wlto is Ger- many's next-door neighbor and a leader among the Balkan States. 4000..0.: 4.M.,.04.,.,•444.4.444.4.0004408..:1.4.4 004,0a.•4•.•08 .04.".

The Editor Restrains Himself There are some obituaries that it might be a pleasure to write, were circumstances rather differ- ent. Some funerals bring an im- provement to the community, and the editor of the paper would just love to let himself go and say just what lie believes to be the truth. But even that pleasure is denied hint. There are relatives to think about, and after all, there are times when silence is golden, — Fergus News -Record Why Accidents Happen "I was thinking about some- thing else." Half the motorcar drivers stopped by traffic officers in the U.S, for violations of the rules of the road give the excuse quoted. But surely any ]respons- ible adult realizes that in driving a fast -travelling car, under pre- sent conditions of traffic, he or she has plenty to think about without letting his or her own thoughts wander outside the auto- mobile, — Stratford Beacon-ller- ald. That Was Thirty Years Ago Thirty years ago this week the edtior of the Walkerton Telescope sharpened his quill and gave his readers this hot -shot: "In Kincar- dine one day last week an automo- bile frightened a horse, the horse ran away, the driver was thrown out of the rig and his leg was bro- ken. It is becoming apparent from incidents like this that something will have to be done about these . automobiles. For several years past the farmers in the vicinity of Toronto have been agitating for a law to restrain automobiles from using the public highways, but so far have not been able to accomp- lish anything." — Kincardine News. Not Since Beck's Day Hydro has not had a strong hand on it since the days of Sir Adan] Beck, the man whose child Hydro was.

The EMPIRE 4" Who Are The happy People? Who, then, are tie happy peo- ple? Some say thea nre the Com- munists, some say they are the Nazis, some say they are the Bu- chmanites. It is a fine thing to have such reports of widespread happiness from all over Europe. How happy Herr Hitler and Sig- nor Mussolini looked in the photo- graph of the march -past during the Roman celebrations! I almost wished I were a dictator as 1 was was watching the news -reel. How happy, loo, a thousand or two Hu- chmanitcs look in a photograph, all laughing together like bathing belles in the popular press! I sin- cerely hope all these people are as happy as they look, and that their happiness is infectious. Some people say the followers of Gen- eral Fr:xnco are happy, but I wish they could express their happiness in some other way than dropping bombs on children. Happiness takes many forms, however, and it is probably lack of imagination that prevents ale from entering into the happiness either of a bomb -thrower or of a Prime Min- ister. The truth is, i do no know what constitutes happiness for anybody except myself, and I am not sure about myself.

Future Bright For Cattlemen Alberta Ranch Country Hopes To Get Out of the Red Ten lean years are over for the ranchers of Southern Alberta — they look forward to a year of plen- ty of feed and, perhaps, plenty of money. "Give us decent prices this fall and we'll be on our feet again," was the comment of cattlemen attend- ing Calgary's Exhibition and Stalls• pede, For a decade Alberta ranges were over -grazed, herds depleted and prices far below cost of production. Grass Is Abundant This year grass is abundant, par- ticularly In the southern foothills. Ground devoid of grass for years has been a green blanket; cattle are in fine shape and market pros- pects are good. "The foothill country Is general- ly the best I have ever seen it in the past 22 y'ear's," said Professor W. L, Carlyle, manager of the Duke of Windsor's E.P. ranch near High River. C. N. R.

Flio'htless Rail Worth $5,000,000 This Rare Bird form South At- lantic Has Never Been Cap- tured Alive—Try And Get One, Want to try your hand on n treasure hunt, with $5,000,000 as a prize if you are lucky? They say -the old romantic clays of such expeditions are over — but don't you believe it. True, it's not the doubloons or pieces -of -eight that await the lucky finder, In fact, it is only a bird, and a small one at that. But it's worth, alive, a cool five million, Or so they say. The bird is a flightless rail, and is found only on Inaccessible Is- land (there's a name for those with the spirit of adventure!), in the South Atlantic, This rare bird looks like a small black chick and has long, slender legs and short, soft wings. Mounted Specimen Only A mounted specimen has been presented to the American Mus- eum of Natural History by the Rev. August G. Partridge, who captured it when he was British Commissioner on Tristan da Cun- ha, the worlr's loneliest Island. Said the Rev. Mr, Partridge: "A live specimen of the bird itself would be so rare that it would be a good buy at $5,000,000. More than 20,000,000 pounds of crude rubber vas shipped into Ar- gentina last year. ...Gardening Notes... NEXT YEAR'S IRISES One of the "must" items which many gardeners have marked clown on their schedules for at- tention during the next few weeks is the ordering of irises for new plantings, or the improvement of old heels. Unlike most garden perennials the bearded irises can be set out during the midsummer, In fact, they are better planted then thnn later in the fnll, when root growth agnin becomes active. No other flower so easily grown as the iris has such a wide range of color combinations, Almost every color, shade and hue is to be found in the petals of this at- tractive flower. Because of the ease with which it may be hybrid- ized, many amateur and profcs- sionnl plant breeders have been making thousands of crosses year- ly, with the result that seedlings have been grown which not only produce taller and better branch- ed stalks, bearing more and larger blossoms, but new colors and col- or combinations have been also brought into existence, —AGENTS WANTED— Full or part time, to sell ornamental trees and shrubs, evergreens, perennials and fruits.

STONEY CREEK — Box 252 —ONTARIO V(/hat Science * Is Doing Synthetic Vitamin E Vitamin E, the factor in nutrition that controls fertility and the abil- ity to carry the young to maturity and birth, has been made synthetic- ally by Dr. Oliver II. Emerson, of the Institute of Experimental Biol- ogy, University of California, work- ing in the research laboratories of Merck & Co., at Rahway, N.J, This is the vitamin whose existence in wheat germ oil and in lettuce was demonstrated by Dr. Ilerbert M. Evans in lila research at the Uni- versity of California. THE FINEST PANSIES To grow the finest pansies, seed must be sown at the right time. Planting during the first two weeks of August results in the strongest plants, though early September is not too late. if one has a greenhouse, seed may be started indoors in January. Sow In August While pansy seed mny be sown in early spring, the practice isn't recommended for se, tions where summers are hot and dry. Pan- sies delight in a cool climate and to obtain the finest flowers gard- eners in warns sections must time their blooming period to fall in the cool spring months. Since pansies are biennials, August .ow- ing will give the plants sufficient time to grow and develop for n spring display of flowers. By far the best place to sow is in a coldframe, yet a well prepar- ed sheltered seedbed will give you very good results also. Unless careful attention is paid to the preparation of the soil, results are often disappointing. IN THE SHADE Ground -cover plants have an important part in the semi -shaded garden, taking the place of grass where it will not thrive and to fill gaps in the flower borders. Blue carpet bugle (ajuga), white lily - of -the -valley, light blue crested iris and blue leadwort (plumbago) are flowering sorts which do well in the shade, as do the evergreen Japanese spurge, periwinkle, the evergreen winter creepers (euony- mus) in severnl varieties and the Baltic ivy, Useful In Pellagra Discovery of a new drug which, it is hoped, will assist materially In the treatment of sufferers from pel- lagra, (a chronic disease due to diet deficiencies), was disclosed at London, England, last week, by chemists who have been experi- menting for years on the compound derived from ,ordinary smoking to- bacco. Tablets containing a drug which Is named "nicotine acid" have been found useful in making good defi- ciencies of diet that cause many cases of pellagra in both the south of the United States and southern European cities. Trips To The Moon Regular high-powered rocket ser- vice to the moon, may be expected 1►t the "comparatively near future" if scientists continue to increase their knowledge as they have In re- cent years, Dr. Peter M, !Millman, A.M., Ph.D., told a Klwan.ls club meeting in Toronto last week. "Rocket drips to the moon are much more feasible today than was the invention of television 100 years ago," Mr. Millman said. Wind In The Stratosphere Wind speeds in the stratosphere, one of the "great unknowns" of the weather, register themselves on a new radio direction finder at the California Institute of Technology. The finder is an automatic weath- er -man, who sits on a roof and re- cords the vertical and horizontal angle of radio balloons such as the U.S. weather bureau is sending Into the stratosphere to report tempera- ture, humidity and pressure. Little has hitherto been known about stratosphere and upper air . currents. New Ancestor of Man Dr. Robert Broom, South African scientist, reports the discovery of a fossilized anthropoid which he claims is the nearest approach to an ancestor of plan yet uncovered. The anthropoid's remains were found among a deposit of bones at Breccia In the Sterkstroom district. "The face Is unlike that of a gor- illa, being remarkably flattened and the muzzle very short," Dr, Broom said. "The ear region and the hinge region of the lower jaw are remarkably human, though very much larger. "The skull though not quite com- plete shows everything except the Size of the brain. Halt of the face Is preserved with the whole lower half of the lett side of the skull showing, including the cheek arch, ear cavity and articulation of the Jaw. "We have a practically complete palate with most of the teeth and R nearly complete lower Jaw," he said, Canada's Maternal Deaths Skyrocket Higher Than Other Countries Of Equal Standards—Reme- dial Steps to Be Suggested In Near Future. The new Child and Maternal liy, glene Divlslou of the Department of Penslons and National ilealth is al- ready making progress with a sur- vey to determine factors contribut- ing to Canada's high Infant and maternal mortality rate. When the survey Is completed, It will snggest remedial steps its findings indicate. Canada's death rate is admitted- ly higher than it should be, and Is poor in comparison with two or three other countries of comparable national stock and condition of lite, officials here admit. The child and maternal mortality rate, in particu- lar, Is above that of some other countries where vigorous methods have been employed to assure the baby a safe start 1n life and to also make maternity relatively sate. Highway Lighting System Advocated Suggested Plan Said To Be Cheaper Than Present Sys- tem of Road Illumination fn Ontario. Recommended by Hon.

It will revolutionize the system at present used on provincial high- ways and will be somewhat similar to that used on certain highways in France. Under the plan a lighting unit of portable type three feet high along the highway, with lights at various locations will be provid- ed. It is believed that the cost will be lower than the present overhead system. Many Old Laws Are Still Valid Canadian Cities Have Ancient Ordinances On Their Books That are Rather Laughable. Every motorist in Vancouver is liable to arrest but it took an in- quiring reporter to find it out, A study of city by-laws showed one directing traffic to keep to the left had never been repealed. Van- couver has been "keeping to the right" for 18 years! Cows, Pigs Barred If you must drive your cows or pigs along the streets of Ot- tawa it is ns well to keep them oft' Metcalf street. An ancient city by-law, enacted when Ottawa was small and animals on the street were common, made it an offence to drive them along this central thorough! arc. Metcalf was the first Ottawa street to be paved with asphalt and the city fathers of that day were so proud of it they decided to reserve it for human beings and horses. The by-law is still in effect, Tough On Pedestrians Halifax has its own group of old statutes that have never been re- pealed and nimble pedestrians, al- though unaware of it, were also breaking the law every time they jumped to escape being hit by a vehicle on the streets. A city ordinance, never repeal- ed, forbids the performances of "Rope walking or any other gym- nnstics of athletic feat on the streets," Apparently the law was enacted when a patent medicine vendor, to attract business stretch- ed a rope across the street and walked across it. A section banning imbeciles from walking on the streets on Sunday is also still on the books, Beautification Of Ottawa Begins Under Supervision of Paris Ar- chitect The Long Range Plan Is Going Forward Jacques Caber, Parisian arch!, tect, tattoos on iwo continents for his town -planning, arrived last week In Ottawa to find work well started on the long range plan for beautification of the national capi- tal he submitted to the Govern- ment six months ago. Chief architect for the 1937 Parts Exposition and now consultant in the creation of New York's 1939 World Fair building construction, Mr. Greber arrived to discuss fur- ther details of the Ottawa improve- ment plans. Central feature of Mr. Greber's plan for Ottawa Is the site of the National war memorial located on the plaza over the Rideau Canal.

Enough grain should be given to keep the sow's in thrifty condition, and in any event they should get some grain such as a mixture of ground oats, ground barley and middlings, supple- mented with skim -milk or fish meal, for two or three weeks before breed- ing time in the fall. Sows raising two litters per year naturally regeiro more feed than those raising only ono, but if early spring and fall litters can be accomodated, the average cost of tearing rigs to weaning age will be lower if two litters per year are rais- ed.. Minket hogs stake fasten' gains when confined to a pen, but Soty .pigs which are to be reserved for breeding should bo given good pasture to en- sure good vigorous breeders, They should be fed liberally to ensure sat- isfactory growth when they are on pasture, but if their yard is small and the gilts get only a limited amount of exercise, heavy fending should to avoided. Bladder Campion Bladder Campion Is considered one ..Iof the most serious weed pests° in Ontario by the Crop, Seeds and Weeds Branch of the Ontario Department of Field Crop Report Bruce County reports its wheat sample generally poor to fair with an occasional field yielding well with good quality. In Dufferin the crop is badly affected with rust and in Grey a similar condition has made the yield dismpointing. Earley and oats pros- pects in that district are exceptionally grad. Rust also did much damage in North Simcoe. In the latter county the crop of oats promised to lie the hest in five years, but a general out - freak of smut and army worm inroads have reducers prospects to average.

Crops such as rape or clover supply needed minerals, vitamins and other uotrients. The exercise obtained in ,.razing also contritutes in no small measure to toe general health of the breeding stock, with consequent ben- eficial results at farrowing time. Sows raising only one litter per year need but little grain after the pigs are weaned if good pasture is provided. IAgriculturo It is difficult to kill owing to its deep fleshy rootstalks and the num- bers of stents growing from 1 crown. The crown is•often down six to twelve inches in the soil and this explains the difficulty in cutting it off with the plow and the need of deep plow- ing followed by a stif f toothed cult'• vator with wide shares which over- lap. hoots and root stalks brought to the surface will not survive but any portion left in the soil with a bud at- tached, will produce a new plant. Thorough cultivation will eradicate Bladder Campion in cultivated areas. Chemical weed killers is the only practical solution it the weed is pre- valent and cultivation impossible. The first plaint foetid on your pro- perty is a danger signal, says the Department. Eradicate it and save trouble later. The Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ont. Department of Agriculture, Toronto, will gladly for- ward you free of charge a phamphlet on hew to get rid or this dangeroue pest. Write for it immediately. Bladder Campion is sometimes named "White "White Cockle" or-"Catchfly" Campion, however, can be easily iden- tified by its freely branching steno, smooth leaves in pairs which meet around the stem, its white flowers found in loose clusters often droop- ing and its inflated bell-shaped calyx or pod. it is from this the plant sometimes gets the name of Bladder \\reed or Cow Bell. It is adapted to high land and soon becomes estab- lished if neglected. Get after It now, is the best advice of the Ontario Department of Agri- culture. To Visit Plowing Match An official visit by Nis Excellency, Lord Tweedsmuir, Governor-General of Canada, to the International Plcwing \IuIch at \linesIng, near Bar- ite, Ont., on Thursday, October 13th, is announced by J. A. Carroll, Manan ger of this annual agricultural event, the greatest plowing match not only in the British Empire, but in the en- tire world. Last year the attendance was over 100,000 at the .four-day event and this record, it is exjiected, will be shat- tered this year. The dates are Octo- her 11th to 1.Itli inclusive "There is no dotal." states Mr. Correll "that the invitation of the On- tario Plowmen's Association was ac cepted by His Excellency because of his genuine interest in all phases of agriculture and particularly good plowing and fine horses." Scotland, the birthplace of Lord Tweedsmuir, Is pet in plowing lore, and her soli. wnil•ol.cir„I hi the art have transplanted a desire for good cultivation In every part of the Bri- tish Empire, particularly Canada, where for over 100 years plowing matches have been held.

"Ile couldn't, he couldn't, he couldn't'" she screamed, but her voice was a whisper In the mad crescendo of the gale, She must he going mad. But the water would wash the fever from her brain, It would lap her in peace and security. She reached the porthole, was standing below it. She stretched up ber arms and the tips of her lin- gers touched the rim, finding it to be cold and wet. Iter ears were fit• h:d with the rola' of the sea. Noth- ing must stop her now. At last she worked her slender shoulders out through the rim of the porthole. Turning her head, she saw that the deadllghts uutst all be down, for the fillip was as dark as a whale. She was working with frenzy now, and pushing her sling body farther and farther out, The waves dashed into her face, stinging her to a sharp newer love her — better then she should. Through the Porthole \\'ith one last tug she pulled her• self clear. 'I'ltere ,was a tiny splash, A huge wave roared along the side of the ship, and, finding an open porthole, rushed in, 't'w'o peach slippers road like boats fon' a split second, and then, as the water ed- died with the lurching of the Mar- enia, were stranded limply in 0 corner.

The combination was so good that it became popular and has been ever since, But even in the eighteenth century it was recognized that the filling had to be moist and flavoursome, the bread firm and fresh, to make n perfect sandwich. For home parties and picnics the hostess has to make her sand- wiches hours ahead and worry about ways of keeping sandwiches fresh till time of eating. The new quick -cooking tapioca will work miracles for them, No need to get the bread limp by having the filling soak into it for hours while the sandwiches are rolled in pa- per or damp cloth. This tapioca holds the moisture in sandwich fillings and yet does not in any way interfere with the flavour of those clever appetizing combinations that everyone likes, The tapioca helps to slake chick- en, fish, or cheese, go a long way too.

Vocabulary Larger Than Shakespeare's Average College Student Today Knows 176,000 Words— The Great Dramatist Used Only 15,000 To 20,000 Dr. Robert Seashore, Associate Professor of Psychology at the Northwestern University, said recently that the average Ameri- can college student has a much larger vocabulary than the 15,000 words with which he is credited. Most students can recognize 62,- 000 root words and 111,000 "de- rived" words, making a total of 176,000, which seems an extreme- ly extensive vocabulary, especial- ly when we realize that Shakes- peare did not use more than. from 15,000 to 20,000 words, an!

Prov, 20:1, THE LESSON IN I'J'S SETTING 'I'itne — Of course we do not know es-L:1ly when Solomon wrote the honk of Proverbs, but it can be snugly cs:'.mated as about 1000 B.C. The apostle Paul wrote tine First Epistle to the Thessalonians before 5t A.D, Place — There Is nothing to tell us where the book of Proverbs was wrlttpn, '.hough, of course, we all know th::t Solomon ruled as king in city of Jerusalem. The epistle to the Thessalonians was written from the city of Corinth In Greece to the c':urch of Thessalonlca, a city in Macedonia, now known as Solonik1 `ii European Turkey. The major part of this lesson Is taken from the book of Provet'bs,_a book w1'::ten, for the most part, by Solomon, and completed sometime rifler his death. The central, funcla• mental r,o:d of the book of Prov orbs is ''wisdom." "In all Its leach - Ing thin;! Look lakes for granted the wisdom of God, and seeks to in- finite!. mi:rl concerning what God's wlscic:m :'c:Illy Is. Alan Is wise in proportion as he recognizes these truths: ;,::d accepts them in.lhe con- duct of h!s life. The, perfectly wise man is the one who in his whole being Jives and thinks and acts lu right relatlontihlp to the All -wise Clod." Wise Instruction' ]0. Ilcar, 0 my son, and receive MY sayings; anti the }yews of thy lite shall be many. Solomon Is here not so touch thinking of his own sons or sons according to the flesh, but of all young men, who world look up to him as a guide and instructor of youth. Solomon would have the young man to know that, by adopting the principles about to be mentioned he will pro- long the years of his life. 11. 1 have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in the paths of uprightness. 12. When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and If thou silliness., thou shalt not stmble, By follotw';ng the ways of uprightness, the path of wisdom which God has marked for us In his fiord, we have the promise of freedom and liberty Jn the way that we travel, 'We do not very often have to 1'1111 In life; the bates when we do are times of crises and these are tiutes of dan- ger. Gest promises vs that in such atonics:s If we are in his way, we shall not fall. The New 'l'estament supplements this promise by assur- lug us that the Lord Jesus Christ hlnnseif, our wisdom, will keep us from (Jude 21), 1:1. 'Take fast hold of Instruction; let her not go; keep her; for she is thy life. No inan is sufficient unto himself. The Lord himself is our perfect example, and we are to fol- low in his steps, we are to learn of him (1 Pet, 2:21; Malt. 11:20), The reason why we are to lay hold of God's will for us so firstly Is be- cause, if we do not determine to walk hi his ways, our whole life Is foredoomed to ultimate failure, disappointment and sorrow, Folly of Wickedness 14, )inter not into the path of the wicked, and walk not in the way of evil men. 15. Avoid it, pass not by it! turn from it, and pass 011, "Ves- ses 14 to 17 give the picture of the ether path, in terrible contrast with the preceding. Righteousness was 601 twitit, as it were, In the ab- stract; but wickedness is too aw- ful and dark to be painted thus, and is set forth only In the con- crete, as seen in Its doers. True, negative virtue is incomplete, but there will be no positive virtue with -lit it, We must be accustomed to stay, 'No,' or we shall come to lilts good.

But the pats of the righteous is as the dawning light, that shont- etlt 71101•1: and more unto (he per- fect day. !here is one of tine most exquisite sentences in all of the wisdom literature of the Old Testa- ment. Our Lord said much about the light, and so did the apostles. Jesus said that we should walk in Ilse light, lest darkness overtake its. Paul frankly tells us that we, born again by the Iloly Spirit, are the children of light, and that as such we should put off the works of darkness and put on robes of • light. 19. The way of lite wicked Is as darkness; they know not at what they stumble. \Nicked things are black things; sin blows out the light In our hearts; a sinner cannot see arid, cannot discern the right from the wrong, cannot see beauty in virtue and Innocence and honor and uprightness. A sinner does not know where the right road Is. A sinner stumbles. 20. My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings, 21, Let them not depart from thine oyes; keep them in the midst of thy heart, 22. For they are life unto prose that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23, Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of It are the issues of life. The teaching of all these four verses Is summed up in the last one. Literally, the open- ing clause should read, "with all watching, guard," l.e., 111 every way with all possible vigilance and dili- gence. "Tine word 'heart' is to be understood as the \vot'rl 'self', and not as indicating a contrast be- twoen inward and outward life, for the outward life In Proverbs Is treated as the expression of the In- ward self, The fountains and wells of the East were watched over with special care. A stone was rolled to the nnoutls of the well so that 'a spring shut up, a fountain sealed' (Song of Sol, -1:12) because the type of 011 that is most jealously guarded. So it is here, The heart 1s such a fountain; out of it flow the Issues of life. Shall we let those streams he tainted at t he fountain head? Virtue of Sobriety 1 Thess. 5;6.S, Paul's entire par- agraph here, beginning with verse •I, has to do with the life that the Christians ought to live as sons of light and sons of the day. While verse 4 is trot included In our les- son, it Is really at the foundation of the three verses which are as- signed to us. Light Is always a syn- onym for openness, frankness, hon- esty, purity, sincerity, singleness of purpose, As God our Father pos- sesses all these characteristics be- cause lie Is light, so ought we as his children, 6. So then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and •be sober. '\'here are logical conse- quences in our being sons of the light. \1'e show ourselves to be truly such by living in the light lives that are transparently honest and undeniably holy rind good, Sobriety refers to the moral as- pect of the life of a Christian look- ing for the coming of the Lord, while watchfulness has reference more to the mental aspect of such waiting, Soberness not only means freedom from drunkenness, but In- cludes all habits of moderation and self-control. It does not refer ex- clusively to the matter of intoxi- cating liquors, we are to be sober In our amusements, sober in our eating, sober in the (lours that we work, temperate in all things. 7, For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that aro also drunken are drunken In the night. This verse principally refers to the facts observable In the natural and physical world, namely, that sleep and drunkenless are indulged In al- most exclusively after dark. This is used by Paul as an illustration of life in general, 3. But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting out the breast plate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation, We are not only to be wakeful, but we are also to he fully armed, soldiers of Christ. 'I'Ire breastplate Is that part of the armour which covers the heart, The helmet is a military cap which covers and defends the head, and is here identified with salvation.

ELECTED) REMEMBER MY RECIPE FOR RHUBARB TART — - The party's trip, which started from King Island, was the first such voyage in modern memory. It was the first leg of their projected cruise to the Barren Lands east of Point Barrow. The "Glacier Priest" arrived Just as rescue parties Avere forming to seek the fragile craft, overdue here after a week at sea. High seas forced the group to seek haven on the beach at Shirai( and Cape Prince of Wales during the voyage, Father Hubbard said. Eskimos In Party Ile is accompanied by Ed Levin and Ken Chisholm, former Santa Clara University football stars, Aolarana, chief of the King Island Eskimos; Paluuak, i1ayae, '1'ata- yuua, Alliak, and Peter Mayac, na- tive hunters. Father Hubbard reported mem- bers of the party were constantly soaked by spray as the 36 -foot skin canoe, powered with an outboard motor, sail and paddles, battled the swirling currents of Bering Strait. 1tlgh windy slowed the progress of the oomiak. Around Corner of Continent 'I'Ine priest said he hoped the voyage would prove that prehis- torlo migrations from Siberia could have been made in skin boats sim- ilar to his craft. Skeptics who have doubted the theory that North America was originally populated by an Asiatic migration have said that skin boats could not negotiate Bering Strait, From Kotzebue, the skin hoot ex- pedition will attempt to reach Point hope before going eastward "around the .corner" to the north- ernmost settlements on continental America.
