The home of real service AN INCIDENT AND ITS SUGGESTIONS Twilight had come the other even- g near Exeter. A business man was hurrying home just between lights when the gray of the road was scarcely to be distinguished from the gray of the road grass, The car1 was under perfect control and the driver alert. But favorable as were all conditions there was one of those near-accidents that bring a human’s heart into his mouth. By the side of the road in a suit that was full of dust and of a dusty color best, hidden partially by some tall, dust-laden grass and weeds, a little three-year old was having .a quiet time playing in the road dust, the merest chance the car did not touch the little chap, as it was, the car passed within a foot of him. And now for the suggestion -Child­ ren have no business playing in the dust of a public road where cars pass at any tme. For them to do so is for them to invite death. Once dead a child remains dead a long time. Second, the utter recklessness of parents and children should be taken into account when accidents occur under such circumstances. Next, authorities should see to It that weeds are cut along the roads over which motorists drive. Had this child been killed would not those whose duty it is to see that weeds are cut have been contributors through negligence? Rigid enforce­ ment of the law bearing on such cases is a necessity. And in the last place, motorists must recognize *< the fact A> ^h&t they are driving powerful machines that may cause serious accidents even under thbse circumstances where danger is least looked for. There is nothing so certain as a dead sure thing.

But what of the plodders who have quietly done the days work without advertisement’ and without applause a portion of the human family exemplified by the farmers of tar io son? back tion heavy rain that prevented, anything like adequate cultivation of the root and corn crops. Afterward ensued the days of almost miraculous growth when the farmer’s hopes mounted high for good returns. On the heels of the fine growth of hay and of fall wheat came the deluging rains of the hay harvesting period. Again came the rain just as the wheat was ready for cutting, rains so heavy that experienced farmers fear that machinery will be operat­ ed with the extreme of difficulty, Ju addition, the heavy fains have levell­ ed the wheat where it has been for­ tunate enough to be up to an aver­ age crop. And yet the farmers are patiently going about their work, resolved, as we hear them say on every hand to “make the best of it.” That's the way with the farmer. He iw grumble a good deal, Biight may rest upon his orchard. His small fruits may partially fail be­ cause of adverse weather conditions. The frost may nip his corn. The rain may damage his hay and the rot may seize his potatoes and the market mav slump shamefully and discouragingly, j^t the farmer per­ sistently and consistently “makes the best of it.” It is well for the that the farmer is sturdy- stuff..
