Of course she would go through the formality of offering to return with Naomi, but in her own lieart she knew that she was .going back. She wept appropriately, kiss­ ed her iriother-in-aw and went back thinking of herself and not of Na­ omi and Ruth, justifying her sensi­ ble action all the way home and she faded out of the picture forever. Naomi then urged Ruth to follow Orpah back to safety in the land of Moab. HARD ON GRASSHOPPERS Grande Pre, N, S„ July—Forty years ago a grasshopper plague vis­ ited the fertile meadows of Grande Pre, N. S., where the early Acadain settlers tilled the soil and Evangel­ ine walked the leafy lanes with her lover, Gabriels, Last year ‘the grass­ hoppers re-visited the area and did much damage to the hay and started in on the grain when Nature step­ ped in in the shape of Bay of Fundy gulls, which descended in hundreds and gobbled up the grasshoppers thus saving the grain crop, states the Agricultural Department of the Canadian National Railways. This year the grasshoppers are back but so are the gulls, so that the farmers are hoping the appetites of the gulls hold out long enough to finish off the grasshoppers. The poor present no problem in St, Georges, Bermuda, Trwo., there is a poorhouse, but, according to Canadian National Steamships whose vessels Serve the island, there is only one inmate and he wouldn’t be in the poorhouse except for having lost his legs in an accident. Though the solitary inmate, he does not feel lonely, for the poorhouse is a man­ sion which overlook^ the town and commands a hilltop view of the ecean. deceived, form of money inflation. 4 4 4 Have your cash before spend for necessary purposes.

This means that she must be reared during June or early July during the honey-flow from clover and says the Dominion Apiarist, no better conditions for the rearing or queens exist that those found in Canada at this time. By having a good prolific queen in the hive by the first of August, ample time is given for her to produce a strong force of bees before normal brood production ceases in the fall. Not only will the colony containing a young queen raise more bees for the winter than one containing an old queen, but the young queen will be more prolific and profitable for the following spring. « •4 4 * • • Liquor is four times him that sells it, him that furnishes the money therefor at any stage of its deadly course. **«4«*«« cursed.

Word comes to us ces of Canada will not When these men tell you that the grasshoppers have not left any­ thing, they but state the actual truth regarding their returns. Said one observer whose home is in the West, “1 was looking over a man’s fields in the infested area, .‘That is your summer fallow?’’ I asked as I pointed to one farmer’s field. “No, that is a field swept over by the grasshoppers!” was the reply. The field was as bare as a good summer fallow. Yet from that field that farmer hoped to reap a particularly good crop of wheat So there you are! That is -what the grasshopper nuisance will do for any farmer • •4 4 4 • • I X AN INDICATOR may at produce great least, may call A modern woman has suggested that these words of Ruth would of themselves form a “superb wedding ritual.” They are among the most beautiful words ever spoken. Where­ in lies their charm? They are simple sincere and beautiful. They express the spirit of friendship at its best They rise in affection above the diMisions of race, boundaries and religion. They show that personal relationships may be established which transcend all divisions. Ruth was willing to leave her homeland, to go into a strange country, to fore­ go marriage and motherhood, take Naomi’s religion, even‘to buried in a foreign land, all for 1 sake of her reverence and love 1 Naomi. Orpah might well say that i such a sacrifice was not common sense. That is Ruth’s undying glory that she did not calculate in terms of self-interest. She loved and naught but death could separate her from the one she loved. Her im­ mortal words should be memorized by every last person on earth in ev­ ery generation. They are the high water mark of Old Testament liter­ ature.

When it becomes cold, they form a compact cluster and the bees in the heart of the clus­ ter generate heat by muscular activ­ ity. This activity, of course necessi­ tated the consumption of stores in proportion to the amount of energy expended. The bees on the outside of the cluster act as insulators to prevent the escape of heat generated As soon as the temperature falls to 57 degree or lower a cluster is form­ ed and heat generated. The colder the hive becomes, the greater will be the amount of heat required to keep up the temperature of the hive Should the cluster be a small one there will be fewer bees for heat pro­ duction and these few will have to work harder. Excessive heat produc­ tion is apt to start the bees produc­ ing brood, which is usually fatal to a colony during winter when the bees are unable to fly. The greater the number of bees within the col­ ony the smaller the amount of work required from each individual (bee, provided that stores and protertion are equal. It is therefore, impossible to get a colony too strong for the winter. By strong colonies is meant popu­ lous colonies of young bees. Young bees are those that have done little or no field work, but they should have,had at least one good flight be­ fore winter sets in. ’Bees emerge from their cells with a given amount of energy which, if used up in work shorten their lives. Hence, if bees have done much work before enter­ ing on theif winter’s rest, they are not likely to survive the winter, much less to live long enough to be replaced with young bees in the spring.

Commenting on the harvest being reaped, a prominent Perth County farmer remarked to us. “Last harvest it took two men working pretty lively and steadily to keep up with the binder. This year one man can pretty nearly keep up with the machine.'’ This experience tells its own story, are open to congratulation when of their brother agriculturalists them. We have no difficulty in Where the yield far exceeds that in adjoining districts. This good fortune is due to two circum­ stances. First, these farmers posse.ss land that is naturally well situated for a season such as this. In the second place, these farmers practice the best features of their art. In any case we’re glad that ome farmers are winning out, even if the margin of suc­ cess is small. Farmers in the Exeter region comparison is made with the lot 'in regions not far remote from finding a large number of fields of the yield on the farms of folk 4 4 4 4 4 4 KEEP AN OPEN EYE The other morning one of our neighbours noticed a bunch ot caterpillars on the trunk of one of his trees. A rope had been wound about the tree for some special purpose. On the limb-side of the rope" the tree was covered with the pests for an area oi about two square feet/ Towards this rendevous the caterpillars were wriggling in a veritable procession, only to stop when they ’came to where their predecessors had been interrupted by the rope Several limbs of the tree supported each of its little row of vermin on their wTiggling march, Leaving behind them several limbs that had been denuded of their foliage. On several leaves of this un­ fortunate tree there were leaves covered with larvae much as one sees of the potatoes covered with small creatures preparing for a further stage of their destructive existence. The writer is famil­ iar with the habits of the tent caterpillar and is sure that this pest now spoken of is not that enemy. He cut down the tree and has burned it up, after sending some specimens to the Experimental Farm at Ottawa for identification and for general direction. ' Just now it will pay any farmer to be specially oJbservaiit of 'bugs and blights, as in an unusual meteorolgical season such ad this has proven there is every likelihood that pests of an unusual 'character may put in a hurtful appearance. **444444 Hard times literature, or, forth deeds which in time will find their ■way into literature. Th.e Book) of Ruth is a touching story, skillful­ ly told. When Jewish rabbis were urging their people to read the scrip’ twres, they would warn that the1 Book of Ruth was too pleasant for! reading on the Sabbath. The bookj may not have been ■written until the( days of Eara and Nehemiah, but it has its setting in the days when the judges judged, in rough rude times. “The Book of Judges is .full of -war and tumult; and the Book, of Sam­ uel, full of more war and tumult; Men hate and steal and lie and kill, until the heart is sick of the havoc which sin has wrought among men. But between these two books, as a beautiful valley full of flowers and ( fertile fields, and with a gentle brook singing down through the meadows, as often found between two mountain ranges, is the Book of Ruth, a wonderful story of love and'-two tired ^omen. For Ruth 1 married Boaz and became the grand­ mother of the great king David And Matthew tells of Ruth, through David, entering into the ancestry ot Jesus. This story told in the days of Ezra and Nehemiah was a rebuke to narrow nationalism which for­ bade intermarriage among people of different nations. It shows how the stream of heredity may be en­ riched. It has especial significance for students of social effects of im­ migration in North America. But the highest lesson is the simple re­ ligious faith which helped people through want, sorrow and change for both Naomi and Ruth had faith in the unseen God, the God who is a Spirit. Questions for Discussion 1. Would you give up your na- , tionality for friendship? I 2. How has the business depress­ ion affected the opportunities -of women in industry? 3. Ruth had sentiment; Orpah had sentimentality. Discuss this, all that part Old Testament with its frag- the story has famine in Beth- as a background. There was holy character, filling of the rance. Yet leheiu no dole or government relief. Popu- ' lation shifted from one place to another in search of bread. The hard times led to emigration fromi native land to the strangers of different religion. The root of was lack of production day depression has resulted from over-production. Then the only es­ cape was through personal initiative but in the machine age, governmen­ tal supervision becomes inevitable. A wise statesman has said that for the future the problem is not pro­ duction but government. territory of speech and the problem while in our their that them both mar- to be the for i Back to Bethlehem, 19 Naomi, who had left -Bethlehem with her husband and two sons re­ turned alone, except for the presen­ ce of a foreign woman, one of the tribe of Moab.

There is a safe remedy in Dr* Fowler’s Extract of Wild Strawberry; a remedy that has received the en­ dorsement of legions of Canadian mothers during the 88 years it has beeii on the market.

Milburn Co., Ltd., Toronto, Ont, WHERE WILL IT END Will president Roosevelt’s method of putting activity into business by something that looks like business blackmail and bus!* ness boycott be the herald of prosperity and of lasting business prosperity? In any case we do hot think that his scheme will 'prove of anything like permanent value to any but a few shrewd, selfish persons. It resembles the case of the family that resolved to cure their ills by sitting about holding high the corners of thelt mouths. This family thought that putting their smiling muscles into the proper position would remove the cause of their disaster. We have little faith in. the chatter, “Every day, in every way the times are getting better and better. “We can’t turn the Aux Sabie into a torrent by saying “This cteek is full of water.” Equally foolish is the attempt to make its volume of water greater by forc­ ing portions of it from one locality to another. We may help its usefulness, temporarily, by so doing but the value of the bractice is questionable. In business there always will be those Who know how to ac­ quire money or its equivalent. If money is to be had they’ll at­ tract it as the magnet attracts steel wool filings. There are, on the other hand, those who can no more attract money than can holy Water attract the devil. Some folk always put their cash into pockets with holes in them. As this money trickles out it finds its way to the man who knows how to attract it, how to handle it and how to keep it. This process is inevitable. We regard the 'present time is very perilous financially. We have suffered so long from hard times that we do not like to say this, but facts and a sense of duty impel us to speak Out. 4 | Common Sense Standards, 7-9 Naomi was a woman of sentiment quite akin to her two daughters-ln- law, but being a middle aged woman she talked hard common sense. I When Ruth and Orpah accompanied | her as she started to return to Beth- ; lehem, Naomi reasoned with them in her most matter-of-fact fashion 1 She told them to return to mothers’ houses. She hoped God’s blessing would rest upon She held out the hope that might contract happy second riages, She kissed them both and they wept aloud. Naomi had com­ mon sense on her side. The younger women could hardly be expected to give up home, kindred and religion! for one of a different race. Yet Na­ omi’s heart was probably whisper­ ing different words from those her lips spoke. Her two sons had been married to these two women of Mo­ ab. The graves of these two sons and husbands were in the land of Moab. To say farewell to Orpah and Ruth would seem to her to be bid­ ding farewell to what had been sac­ red to her. For the worldly advan­ tage of the younger women, she urged them to return. Her unsel­ fishness caused her to repress her sentiment and make a common sen­ se presentation of the case. A pleasant evening was spent at the home of Miss Lillian Wood, St. Marys, when a number of her young friends gathered in honour of Miss Isabel Lamont, who is leaving with her parents for Carleton Place, .and presented her with a. beautiful gift. THE LATE J. M. LEVY After a long illness John M. Levy passed away at his home in Blan- shard in his 68th year. Deceased was born in Fullarton twp and when >a small boy went to Hibbert twp, in 1891 he married Miss Magaret Park. He is survived by his wife- four sons and one daughter. Sewthnent and Self, 10-15 Orpah took the conventional course. She admitted the force of the common sense arguments of Na­ omi. She could really make out a good case for herself. iShe knew that she would not be welcome in Judah and Naomi had no way of support ing her. The presence of a Moabit- ess widow would be an added bur­ den upon Naomi. Because of race differences and prejudices there would be Tittle likelihood of a sec-
