rides to meet the settlers. He ad•
vised them to return home. Clark
Weber—o"c of the three in the
wagon—who- has heard of the re•
ward on Valdez' head, attempts to
capture hint.
Chapter XXII
if Michael Valdez noticed the
sneer of Clark \Veber's face, he
gave no sign. Nor did his man-
ner change when he noticed \Ver
baa•'.=- hand sliding beneath the
seat blanket, his body inching for-
ward as if he sought to look
around the girl beside him, and
yet see behind her.
Tense silo( a reigned for half
a minute,""hen \Veber ,spoke de
risively.
"\Vhy (lo you try to frighten
us? What docs it mean to you
whether we go or stay?"
"Frighten you?" Valdez's tone
was mild, "If good advice scares
you, then Lladre dt. Dios help the
three of you—when you're settled
down there." HS nodded toward
the valley below, lit up by leaping
scarlet flames.
"You'll ncvcr nail one of us to
D o n Attero's Cross! Weber
challenged sharply, "You'll ncvcr
set any of our buildings afire!
Because you've seen your own last
sunrise!"
Few men could have snatched
out and leveied a six-gun as fast
as Clark Weber did while he pro•
nounced that sentence of death.
But even faster, Valdez's gaudily
gloved hand flashed out from
where it had dangled near his
holster. Gun metal caught the
noon's silvered rays. Flame leap-
ed forth. Lead crunched into
Clark Weber's gun. He cried out
in pain as his weapon slid from
limp fingers.
'Valdez lolstc.•ed his smoking
Colt. His eyes above the necker-
chief and his voice were still mild
what he said:
'If you r.' that again, hombre,
do it faster—and not when you
are looking str :ght at ane."
The girl recovered her power
of speech, looking at El Caballero
Rojo as she asked a question.
"You're sure that—"
"I've told you what I know,"
the strange apparition said.
Valdez backed El Cielo into the
shadow of a rock and horse and
rider. disappeared, There was no
sound, for he had gone as silently
as he had conic.
I'or long awed moments the trio
on the wagon seat did not move.
'1'hen suddenly, with a harsh
ejaculation, Clark \Veber jumped to
the ground and retrieved the gulf
that had been shot from his hand,
The hand itself, he saw, had been
nr more than scratched, but the
shock of the`bullet had done what
El Caballero Rojo had intend it to
do,
"Curse hint." \Veber growled.
"The next tints—"
"IIe might not be as generous
Maxon finished for him, "He was
only trying- help us, \Vhy did
you draw that gun on hint?"
"Because he's worth money
plenty of it - dead or alive," Weber
growled surlily, angered even at the
girl he profess, d to love. "I'd heard
enough about hint and now that
I know he is in these parts, I see
how we're going to make it quick,
paying the' balance due Bartle on
our land,
"With this man's body ?" Chet
Isfaxon demanded savagely. "You
won't pay anything I owe — or >El•
len owes - with blood money, You
mean you'd .really. stoop that low,
Clark - after ,he. went out of his
'way to warn us to expect trouble?"
"Warned like fun t" flarcd Weber.
II" " ' wouldn't surprise me to know
he: crucified that than he said was
on that cross, and set that fire wt
Whether he did it or not, I'm
paying more attention for a while to
get that red-headed Mex outlaw
than I ant to farthing."
Without a word Chet Maxon
picked up the reins, The wagon
creaked on, Even before it turned
the bend and stopped near the
ghastly cross, the silence of fear
and disillusion dropped like a clans*
my blanket over the plodding
settlers.
On Chet Maxon's side of the trail
stood the ghastly cross. On his
sister's side, far below, glowed the
ember of the fire they had seen, but
which now was dying down, It
(vas as if some mocking son of
Satan had prepared the welcoming
signs,
Only an hour before, young Burr
Aldman, nicknamed "Straw" be.
cause of his red -gold hair and
freckled face, had been sitting
across the table from his father, a
hard-working tobacco farmer in
Deep \Vater Valley. Burr, the son,
was hard-working also, and he and
his father had been figuring on their
prospects, There was elation in
both their hearts as they reached
-the conclusion that the contents of
their crammed drying shed would
sell for enough to take up the hest
note on the farm.
* * *
"One thing we ain't figured, son,"
the old man told Straw ominously,
"The fellers who are raking all the
ructions in this here valley and
burned Mike Chapntan's drying
shed. They killed Steve Ransom,
too. We ain't taking no chances
with theist coating after us, so to-
morrow morning we start baling
and hauling that tobacco out of
here."
But that bad been an hour ago.
Now young Burr 'Sidman was
kneeling so close to the smoking
HMIs of the shed that he could feel
the heat front the ashes. And
stretched before him 011 the ground
was his father — his list's blood
draining from a stomach tt'otntd,
"I told you, son," old Aldman
gasped. "It wasn't only Chapman
and — and Ransom they wanted
riddance of. '!'hem beefinen ain't
stopping at — at anything till
they've run out — every tobacco
man in the valley."
Straw Aldman was twenty-one.
Or he had been up to minutes be-
fore. Ile was like a than of forty
or more now, as bitter as gall, with
but one purpose in life — to find ,
the man who ha ' tossed that torch
into the drying shed; the ratan who
bad fired point-blank at his unarmed
father who had tried to stop the
arson,
* * *
"Yes, Dad," he wheezed out.
"Peeftnen, Curse 'eml I'll pay
every one of them b ck, coin for
coin, till either lead or rope stop
nue,"
"No, son," the farmer's weak
voice protested, "That's not the way,
The thin•, for you to do is to get
out•of this hole of the devil, See'—
Russ Bartle, He'll help you find
somebody to buy the farm, He's
a good man, son, He'll help you.
But get out of this Deep Water Val.
ley, Start as soon as your brother
Sane gets back home, You and Sam
pull out of here tonight. Promise
me that, Burr."
"All right, Dad," the young than
said reluctantly. "I — I hate like all
thunder to stake a promise like that,
but -"
He stopped short, staring at his
father, For the next moment old
Aldman died, stretched on the soil
that nature had touched with such
a prodigal hand.
* * *
The red-headed young man stag-
gered to his feet, His weary eyes
to the smo:fleeing ash•heap, Then
shifted from the corpse of his father
suddenly his teeth clicked together
as he spun on his heels, snatching
out the slx•g'1n that was tucked be-
neath his belt, But as swiftly he
remembered.
"'!'hat you, Sam:" he called hope'
fully,
When there was no answer and he
still heard; approaching footet4ps,

VJitat We snow About God what God the Father is like? Then
read the life of Jesus and become
acquainted with hint as your peri
sonal Saviour and you will know
the Fati:er.
The lesson closes with a chal-
lenge. 'there is a great work for
us to do. It is to tell the world
about Him, Jesus regards this of
in a sense greater than the miracles
which He, up to that time, had
wrought. There is also the chat•

"If ye shall ask anything in any
Name, I will do it," God lives and

Isaiah 40: 28.31; John 14: 8-14.

! lebrews
int.-!lebrcws 11:16,
A youth leader said, "If you
want to keep young, stay around
young people; if :Fou want to get
old, try and keep up with them."
How truly he spoke! But Isaiah
summons us to a source of strength
greater than the springs of youth.
"E% en the youths shall faint and
be weary, and the young sten shall
utterly fall; but they that wait upon
the Lord shall renew their
strength; they shall mount up with
wings as eagles; they shall run, and
not be weary, and they shall walk
and not faint," Not only is the
Eternal God, the Creator of the
earth, a Being of unlimited strength
but He is able to give of His
strength to those who call upon
Him. There are times when we
need to soar as with eagles' wings
above the confusion and din of a
sin -torn weary world. But it is
equally important to be able to
walk and not faint, The mother of
the little children often feels the
need of moral strength and courage
to carry on the humdrum duties of
everyday life, She doesn't ask for
eagles' wings to get above them
but for strength to walk and not
faint.
Isaiah also says of God "'!'here is
no searching of hlis understanding,"
IIe who can trust the infinite wis-
dom of God in the hour of stark
tragedy has a strong consolation,

Bees Help Increase
Clover Seed Yield
Experiments have been under-
taken at the Dominion Experitnent•
al Station, Prince George, B.C., to
determine the value and the need
for bees in the sccd production of
alsike clover, It was found that
where money bees were present the
yield of alsike seed was twenty
times as high as where no bees were
present, In the fields where both
native wild bees and honey bees
re present in large numbers the
seed yield of alsike was four times
as high as here only the honey
bees were evailablc for pollination.
The result shows the value of honey
bees in the seed production of this
crop, and indicates that beekeeping
could well by adopted in conjunc-
tion with alsike seed production
against the tine when native pollin-
ating insects may .be reduced to
insufficient nimibers.

youth; it is part of its restless ener-
gy, but too often this same sort of
almost perpetual motion continues
through life with net ves being the
main motive power driving us on
when common sense is telling us to
stop, or at least slow up, We women,
I think, are the worst offenders, And
why? Because we let our families he -
come too dependent upon Mother do -
Ing this and Mother fixing that, And
believe tie, I have noticed that this
same situation is reaching alarming
proportions in the present acute
housing shortage, It exists iii the
country as well as in urban districts,
Married couples live with their par-
ents, grandchildren come along, and
it is still "Mother" who bears the
brunt of the load. In some cases the
young married breadwinner has a
job away from home. And then who
is It that gets his breakfast, asd en-
dures his early morning grouchiness?
You know as well as I do, don't
you? Mother has always 'looked
after her children so she goes right
on with the job, irrespective of
wives, husbands and grandchildren,
And the children, hi the great major-
ity of cases, unthinkingly allow her
to do it.
* * *
Honestly, I just about see red
when I notice the weariness of so
many not—so—young women these
days, and I know it is because they
are overworked, over tired and too
good to their fatnilies. Oh, I know
it is not so easy for the young folk
either—but they at least have youth
on their side—youth and the hope of
a home of their own at some future
time. Surely it should be possible for
young and old to realise some of the
difficulties peculiar to each and thus
come to a fairer family agreement
regarding work and responsibility.

Our little Whisky is, at present,
quite a distraction to serious think-
ing. She is tearing around the room
like a wild thing—now here, now
there, in and out around the furniture
and then back to her newest "teaser"
—an empty spool hung by a string
from the handle of the door. if you
have a kitten and want it to play just
try that little trick some time. It is
as good as a circus to watch.

Many times during the past year,
we have been asked who Susie is?
People ask is she real? Is she a
figment of t h c
imagination? Do
those Susie
stories ever ma-
terialize? The an-
swer to them all
is YES. The only
Susie story that
was written last
year, that didn't
actually happen
was the nnc Susie herself wrote,
when we were up north on holidays.
* * *
There are many Incidents that ilap-
pen in the life of your reporter and
Susie that never appear in print, The
reason being: that few people would
believe them, For example we went
over to Sttsie's house the night after
she Inad the Christmas tree np and
decorated. Trying to help, we got
down under the tree to plug in the.
lights. in so doing, we pulled the
tree over with a thundering crash!
Susie carie running to find yours
truly buried under green branches
with his you -know -what protruding
with icicles and snow decorating it,
and making a beautiful picture. ho
you believe that ? 1\`e didn't think
so, but its the truth!
* * *
Then, a few weeks ago, we took
Susie for a ride in the country'. Now
we happen to be one of those tinfor•
tunates who were blessed with had
teeth as a child; even though mother
fed us on milk and fruit jukes, etc.
Well, we now support an upper plate
of store food -Mashers, Getting back
to the story, Susie and -I Were riding
along, both of tis munching away at
apples, A piece of apple skin got
lodged in my • throat, I started to
hack and choke. "T—I", T gasped,
"will try and get home and get a
drink", But the choking got worse
and f was getting blue in the face.
Finally 1 pulled up on the edge of
the road. "Hit me on the Back," I
yelled at Susie, jumping out of the
door, and at the sane time jamming
the set of molars in my pocket. T
coughed! Susie slapped my back!
Finally the piece of apple skin gave
ground and np it came. "Whew"
I grinned at Susie, forgetting to put
the teeth back. Susie looked; her
eyes popped out and she pointed at
my mouth, "Where are they? What
happened to them?" she cries. Sud-
denly
uddenly I thought of my gaping, gummy
grin, and promptly slapped the arti-
ficial chewers back into place. Now
don't say it—that one is true, too,
* * *
One reader asked, why do you al-
ways make Susie appear to be cross
and out of sorts. She always seems
to be mad at you or something, and
almost always talks to you in a sar-
castic manner. Well, dear reader,
to tell you the truth, 1 only write
about the messes that Susie and 1
get into. Actually we have a lot of
fun and have many memories of
good) times — and a scrap book to
prove it. You may remember the
story about the hike hike, the fiat tire
and the rain. Those things happened
and we have pictures here to prove it.
As a matter of fact, the taxi driver"
who brought ns hone always greets
tis with—"well, it looks like a nice
day for a hike, I think it's going to
rain,"
Susie is not really as cross or hard
to get along with as 1 make her ap-
pear to be. Why, in fact, last Christ-
mas she gain me a watch, and this
year she gave inc a cigar. TTmintnm,
there's something wrong there some
place, Oh, well, she probably was
broke
* * *
Looking back over last year's files
We notice a number of Susie stories.
•The first was in March; about the
Egg and 1. Then in April we re-
ported on the sucker fishing. The
next was in June and this was written
by the little lady herself. She tried
to expose me, but it was all a line of
guff, In August the dill a story on
our sailing experience. What a day
that was! Then in September it
was the bike hike. And in October
the helped 'put up venetian blinds.
• That was the last of Susie for last
year,
Well, as we told you a few lines
back, she's a great kid. You'll hear
more of her this year too, \Vhy,
just now, she brought us a cup of
tea and a toasted bacon. And another
thing, dear reader, those stories were
really on the level, So the next time
you read a Susie story, stop wonder-
ing about her. She really exists and
howl She just belted nie over the
ear for )writing this. I didn't notice
her standing there reading over my
shoulder. 1 hereby retract what 1
said, Ain't she ignorant?

Good Eating The Scotch Way
In the lowlands of Scotland the lassies once wore broad bonnets
called scones. Whether these bonnets gave their name to the buns,
or whether the buns inspired the bonnets was never recorded by the
Scotch. Either way, scones make superlative eating, especially when
ready -to -eat bran is used to give them a nutlike taste.
For a festive touch, use cranberries as a filling for these tasty
triangles.

The King's Coaches
Neither of the two principal car-
riages used in the Royal weeding
precession was origipally intended
for Royal use,
The Glass Coach was made in
1881 by John W, Peters, to the
order of the Lord Mayor -elect of
London, Sir \Whitaker Ellis, It
was bought by the Crown iii 1011
for use at the Coronation of King
George V, and since then it has
been used by Royal brides, It is
so called because there is rather less
wood in its bodywork than in the
other coaches of the Royal Mews.
It is rather less ornate than the
Irish State Coach, This coach,
once the property of a Lord Mayor
of Dublin, was admired and botr,ht
by Queen Victoria during a visit to
Ireland in 1852, It is normally
used by the King for the opening
of Parliament,
The State Coach proper, Which
was built in 1761, weighs four tons
and is, of course, unsuitable for a
trotting procession.

The teacher was trying to give

Tractor Drivers
Face Many Perils
In Frozen North
Under the flickering northern
lights, the caravan of the snows
moves steadily forward on its path
across the frozen lakes twisting along
forest trails. The gleaming headlights
of a red or yellow tractor search out
the way around the bends of the
portage roads, seeming something
more than mere machines, Lyn Har-
rington writes in The Chrisian
Science Monitor.
Behind them in serried ranks come
the sleighs, their runners squeaking
over the frosty snow, or slipping
along noiselessly over "sugar -snow."
A series of tractors, each pulling itr
own group of sleighs, lurches and
pitches through the night and all the
long day, They carry tons of pro-
visions, oil, kerosene, plaid wind -
breakers, and dressed lumber into the
distant posts of the Hudson's Bay
Company, to the northern missions.
to free-traders anti to the Depart-
ment of Indian Affairs.
Leave Barrels
Throughout the north of Canada
tractors have taken over the freight-
Ing job, formerly done by horse-
power, In those days freight swings
carried as much food for the horses
as pay load. Today they carry fuel
oil, leaving caches of steel barrels
here and there along the route. The
massive tractors transport infinitely
more than horses could. And though
the costs of such transportation are
high, they are still considerably less
than freighting by air.
Tractor trains are one of t'te most
important features of the pic.tccr life
still being led in many parts of the
country. Many tractor swings launch
out into the wilderness, breaking
their own trails as they go. Steadily
they plow their way out across the
fields of ice and snow and slush
which are the numerous lakes of the
north. They may carry in food and
goods, or may travel in light, return-
ing with loads of mining concen-
trates, furs, pulpwood or frozen fish
for the markets of the world.
OUT OUR WAY
December to April
The season is brief, usually from
mid.December until breakup In April,
when the lakes arc unsafe for travel-
ing. But during that time of severe
weather the life is perilous and hard,
At any moment the ice may give way
without warning, and the tractor
drop straight down through the sur-
face, hauling the sleighs after it. The
northern lakes are not to be trifled
with.
Perhaps the most dangerous job is
that of the driver of the snowplow.
He must be able to recognize danger
signals, a threadlike crack in the
snow which means an opening in the
ice five feet below. He must recog-
nize an air hole louts, before he ap•
proaches it, and give it a wide berth,
not only for himself hurt for his com-
panions who come later. He must
keep his directions firmly in mind, so
that in a blizzard he does not find
himself driving toward the open
month of a river where the ice is
thin.
Lakes Best Roads
The lakes provide the best roads in
the north country, since they are flat.
At the right season of the year they
are strongly enough frozen to bear
tremendous weights of machines and
heavily laden sleighs Large lakes
are by all odds the safest. There the
strong wind blows the snow away
and the ice forms thick. Muskeg
lakes are most dangerous for the
brackish water docs not freeze pro-
perly, but makes slush ice.
Often a road has to be cut around
some of these lakes. And sometitnes
the lakes must be risked, since a road
can be even more risky. Roads can-
not be made over rocky country or
over muskeg, for the muskeg road
which rises and falls with the passing
weight of a tractor can swallow that
tractor with almost as little warning
as the ice itself.
Tractor freighting has little fun
attached to it, It is a life of ',Mit
hours' driving, then eight hours of
sleeping, and hack to the job again.
Day and night the tractors rumble
on their broad treads through un-
‘etticd wilderness. From the begin-
ning of the season until spring break-
up silences them, the machines are
never shut off. The beat of their
powerful engines throbs through the
air, a new song of the north.

117, sergeant," Nilson insisted,
1J last night at midnight 1 was
in bed. }Ie- pointing to a
pompous individual sitting near, 'lie
didn't see me at that hour. IIe couldn't,
Inness lie was tip in turf 1 0111.''
The other sneered, "Yeah," he said,
"you were home in bed. Your ghost,
I suppose, was tyallcing about at mid-
night."
The sergeant raised hit hand for
silence. lie had known Frank Gil-
son, who he was questioning with
regard to a burglary of the night be-
fore, as a quiet fancily man, employ-
ed as a mill accountant for a number
of years, and always honest and trust•
worthy. l-Ic was loath to believe that
Gilson had now turned to burglary,
breaking into a hardware store,
cracking the safe and robbing it of
$2,000.
The mills, however, had been closed
for nearly six month, and Gilson may
have been driven to theft through
nerd. He had a family to pr•or:dc for,
Although Howard Crossley, the
pompous one who claimed to have
seen Gilson fleeing from the vicinity
of the store at midnight, was n new-
comer to the town, yet he was re•
spected by all who know hint.
The sergeant knitted his brows. It
was a case of mistaken identity he
felt sure,
'Maybe," Gilson spoke up, "May-
be
Maybe he robbed the safe himself."
"What!" Crossley shouted. "}Iow
dare you intimate that 1 would do
such a thing?"
"\\'lty did you say that?" the ser-
geant asked Gilson.
"Well," Gilson replied slowly,
"one day last week 1 saw him ex-
amining the back windows of the
store. He noticed, too, that I was
watching him. That is why he is
now accusing ace, It was through
the back windows you say the bur-
glars got in."
Crossley spranb to his feet. "You
lie," he cried hoarsley, "you never
saw me near the windows."
THE sergeant told him to be quiet.
Crossley apologized,
"Now the man you saw near the
store," the sergeant asked Crossley,
"you are sure was Gilson? Perhaps
you made a mistake."
"I made no mistakes," Crossley
replied firmly. "It was lee."
Deanna Sings In
Seven Languages
Although she doesn't speak any
foreign language, Deanna Durbin
has sung in seven languages while
making multi-lingual versions of
her pictures during her ten-year
screen career, In her recent film,
"I'll Be Yours," in which she re-
turns to singing parts, Deanna had
to sing in English, Spanish and
German. Her method of learning
a foreign language song is to have
the lyrics spelled out phonetically,
Then, with the aid of music, she
learns the correct pronunciations
very quickly, "But," she says, "if
it weren't for the English 17ersion,
I shouldn't have the faintest idea
what I was singing about."
Listed in the order of difficulty
she exeperienced in learning them,
the languages in which she has
sung to date are Chinese, Russian,
German, French, Latin, Italian and
Spanish. "English is not a good
singing language because it has
so many hard sounds," Deanna de-
clares, I always have trouble learn•
ing to sing "English lyrics cor-
rectly."
A
Not a Marked Copy
The newlyweds were giving
their first turkey dinner, Since her
husband was a novice at carving
Mrs. Newlywed insisted on his
learning to carve from her new
cook book, lest he display his ig-
norance before the guests.
The turkey was later placed be-
fore the inexperienced host, who
was plainly at a loss to know how
to begin.
"Go on, dear, carve it, You know
exactly how to do it," whispered
the loyal young wife,
• "Of course I do, but I can't find
any of the dotted lines," came back
the troubled answer.

Crossley continued, ''From the
man's action I suspected that some•
thing was {vrong and started to hunt
for the constable."
"Yost positively identify Gilson as
the person you saw?"
"i do. 1 saw his face clearly be-
fore he pulled his hat down."
All the while Crossley was speak-

"I. didn't say you covered your

was open and 1 guess you could see
with that,"
"What are you laughtiut at, Gil-
son?" the sergeant broke in. "Un-
less you can prove where you were
last night, it may go hard with you."
Gilson trade 00 reply but took off
his spectacles and wiped theist care-
fully. Suddenly he •pulled his left
eye out of its socket and handed it
to the scrgenat.
The eye was glass.

THE !t
OF
Drivers Warned
Fall and Winter
"Danger" Periods
Of the USS persons killed in
traffic accidents in Ontario in
1916, more than one-third lost
their lives in the last three
months of the year, according to
a survey made by the Ontario
Department of highway's.
Urban accidents in Ontario
start upward in autunut and rise
until after the yearend, The last
quarter of the year is the worst
period for traffic accidents in the
cities end towns. Motorists and
pedestrians are urged to use every
precaution to meet the extra traf'
fic hazards imposed by the fall
and reinter months. Though there
is les. travel in the last quarter of
the year than in the summer
months, this condition is offset
by bad weather and poor visi-
bility, Darkness conies sooner and
the rush hour finds thousands of
employees homeward bound in the
twilight, Slippery streets caused
by frost, ice, rain or fog are addi-
tional hazards, and the first
freeze-up in Ontario each year al-
ways results in a sharp increase
in accid tits,
'!'raining of homing pigeons
starts when they are about four
weeks old.

Sports! And One Thing
or Another
By FRANK MANN HARRIS
Corning splay from an alleged
hockey contest, played with aliscnce
of Christmas or any other sort of
spirit during the recent holiday sea'
soli, a veteran onlooker at sport ---
who had peacefully snoozed through
most of the final period ---carte out
with a crack which we think worthy
of repetition,
* i *
"The difference between a bad
hockey game ands punk baseball
game is this," he said. "hi baseball,
no (natter how little the hired hands
feel like playing, they know that they
have to keep on until enc side gets at
least 27 of the other guys not. itut
In hockey, if the boys are feeling a
little tired, they realise that as soon
as the clock ticks off sixty minutes,
they're through for the night."
* s: *
We personally feel that there's a
lot in what lie said; and that the
present-day custom of, seldom 1f ever
playing overtime, lint settling for a
split of the points at the end of the
regulation hour, has dune modern
professional hockey more harm than
any other sin;le feature you could
mention, 1 f tete hockeyists knew
they had to play to 8 finish or
that no points world be awarded to
either side in case of a tic—there
would probably he a (chole lot more
real action for the casts customers.

Dfnybe you've already heard it;

The Eagles have one of the finest

It Didn't Look Like This Just A Few Years Ago—What a little well-planned remodelling
Will do to even badly run-down farm properties is vividly portrayed in the National Filth
Board picture "harm Homes Beautiful" reviewed in the accompanying article, Above is an
"after -taking" sho t of one such home,
Farm Homes Beautiful
The \t'est's and Simpson's are two
typical faint families of Eastern Can-
ada. During the depression, they
ran into low prices for their produce,
and hard tithes, There was no money
to spare; the farm fences fell into
disrepair, the buildings went without
paint; and trees, shrubs and flowers
were luxuries they just couldn't
afford.
Today, however, things are differ-
ent, Conditions have improved the
farmer's lot, and he can now pay
some attention to these details, which,
although they can hardly be said to
increase the farmer's income, do help
to beautify the farm home.
In Natural Colors
!'here are probably many farmers
who would like to beautify their
houses and grounds; hitt where do
they go for suggestions? There are
many manuals and pamphlets of the
subject, but one can get a good, gen-
eral idea of what can be done by
seeing the improvements nla(10 by
the \Vest's and the Simpson's, in a
filet very recently produced by the
National Film hoard for the Depart -
m nt of Agriculture, entitled, "Farm
Ironies Beautiful".
"Farm 1foules Beautiful" is a
twenty minute film, produced in
natural colour kodachrome, As it
opens, you see a disappointing pan-
orula of a number of farms in east-
ern Canada which have had to do
without repairs for many years.
Trees and flowers are entirely absent,
and the air of disrepair, engendered
by broken fences and unpainted
buildings seems to have led to gener-
al untidiness and carelessness,
These Farmers "Do Something"
The camera moves on and finally
conies to rest on the farms of Ate
Simpsons and the \Vests. These fame•
lies have conte to the conclusion that
the time has conte to "do something",
The Simpson's decide first that their
lawn has possibilities; at least, they
decide that A lawn would have posse-
bilities, They clear the space that can
be used for this purpose, and they
fertilize it. A flower border is dug
and shrubs are planted around the
house, Then, so that the family can
appreciate the fine view they have
created,• they cut down a few of the
trees that hindered their view—trees
that had grown unsightly and tin'
wieldy. Next, since the house Is
brick, the Simpson's tear clown an
old wooden verhandalt tltat was in
tumbledown condition and no longer
served any useful purpose; it had
been left standing because it had "al-
ways been there",
The West's tackle the job of beau-
tify their honk itt mach the saine
manner, The materials they use come
for the most part from their own
farm property. Steps leading up, to
the doorway are matte from stones
hauled in from the fields, Cedars
from the woodlot form the hedge --
plus a few shrubs obtained from a
nearby nursery. To finish the job
around the house, a titunber of wood•
en window flower boxes are painted
brightly, to add freshness and colour,
Around the other side of the house,
and old wire fence, which has long
since outlived its purpose and is get-
ting 1(1 evct'yonc's way, is torn down
and discarded—in a similar manner
to an old, .weather-beaten toolshed,

Small Cash Outlay Needed
)1any farmers alight think that
the changes necessary to improve the
look of their farms and homes in-
volve extensive outlays of cash. But
this is not necessarily so. A great
deal of the success of such pro-
grammes comes from using ordinary
common sense and in laying out a
plan beforehand. This way, lanes,
fences and flower borders can be ar-
ranged for the greatest convenience.
Young trees can be (►sed for back-
grounds against the farmhouse, and
can serve the purpose of concealing
the foundations, if this is desired,
Shrubs can help here too, because not
only do they improve the appearance
of pathways, but they can also hide
the necessary eyesores,
A ''hole section of the film is de-
voted to the decorative value of such
flower bed favourites as lilacs, holly-
hocks,
ollyhocks, daisies and iris. Sample lay-
outs ` of flower beds are clearly
shottn,as well as overall plans show-
ing the relations between such flower
beds and the farmhouse and its trees
and shrubs.
To the farmers who alight already
have seen the film on the rural film
circuits in Ontario this fall and
winter, "Farm Homes Beautiful" has
provided the germ of an idea on farad
beautification - a11(1 some practical
suggestions as well.
The Whites Lead
Popular belief that the yellow
races comprise the balk of the
earth's population has been debunk-
ed, The "white" Caucasaid races
h ve a larger membership than have
the Mongoloid and Negroid races

population of 2,500 million is about
52 per cent Caticasoid, 40 per cent

Fuftherntor , the "white" races
rl,pidly are widening the gap. Au'

the last 300 years, the Negroids
have increased 100 per cent, while

Writing Habits
Many writers subconsciously write
their every day habits into their
writing. The writer with a quick
temper has the habit of making the
letter "t" crosses with the finish of
the stroke like the point of a weapon,
as a dagger or spear. There are
three excellent examples of this type
of "t" shown in the illustration for
yatt to study and recognize in your
correspondence.
When you go fishing you take
along the type of hook yon' Will need
to catch the fish of the size and
kind you are after. Likewise, the
writer whose habits are to acquire
things, to reach out and grasp, to
hang on to ideals and principals, will
make hooks in the writing as shown
in the second illustration, Notice
that there are tla'ee sizes of hooks—
sniall, medium and large, indicating
the extent to which the writer will
exercise will power to obtain and
acquire. The larger the hook, the
more and the bigger are the things
the writer desires to acquire,
* * 4
Domineering persons have a way
of indicating that they wish to have
their own way by making strokes
heavier at the last than at the begin-
ning. 'these strokes, when examined
closely, take the shape and form of
a club, something to use 111 getting
others to bend 10 the writer's will.
* * *
The reader should keep in mind,
however, that 8 very small portion
of writing with one example of the
above signs does not necessarily re-
veal these characteristics. Several or
many of the signs should be observed
before a decision is glade, When you
see a number of these signs in one
writing, you know the writer has
formed the habit, but an occasional
hook, pointed or club like "1" bar
may not be taken as a permanent
feature of the writer's charcter.
