Joshua 1;9. To two leaders are alike„ yet all leaders have some traits, in common. Let us consider Moses who led Israel for forty yearn and his successor Joshua. Both had the conviction that they were called of God to the role of leadership. When .Moses rejected adoption as the son a Pharaoh's ,daughter and turned to the interests of his people "hot supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand, would deliver them: but they understood pot." (Acts 7:25.) Forty years later, at the burning bush, the call of God became imperative, For forty years. Joshua was aide-de-camp to Moses. He led in the defense of Israel against Amalek. He only, went with Moses into Mt. Sinai when he received the law. As leader of the tribe of Ephraim he was ono of the twelve to spy out tho land. He was prepared, to accept appointment on the eve of Moses' death. Great leaders need to feel that they are men ot destiny. They can't inspire con- fidence unless they have cemit- deice in themselves. Leaders must have courage. Moses pbssessed it or he would not have ventured on a task which from all human standard* was iMpossible. Joshua showed his courage in joining with Caleb ,,in presenting a minority report of hope when they returned from spying out the land. We see his courage in ,`leading in the conquest of the land. Leaders need a ;good prepar- ation. Moses as a baby, had godly training. In youth he learned all the wisdom of the,,Egyptians, Ha learned from his mistake in pre., sumptuously slaying the Egyp- flan.. In forty years of tending sheep he learned in patience how to watch, guide, guard, heal and feed. This, training proved ..hivaluable in preparing to ex- -.excise these same functions over the Children 'of Israel. Joshua learned much from his loth-nate association with MoseS. Faith in God was absolutely necessary for Moses and .yeshtik n • i,.6teit4ry today, also, fcT every leader in chtirc4 or atatz who will do a good .job of lead:. ing men in these troublesome times. People are uneasy, Lead- ers who know' God can do much to give strength and }tope to the. people. this country's domestic require- ments. * . Though safflower has reached commercial production, many problems remain for the agrono- mist and the plant breeder to overcome. These problems if not solved may well endanger the prospects of this crop in Canada. Safflower is a hardy plant and has done well under dryland farming, and on irrigated land. However, farmers may find that under certain weather condi- tions the seed does not fill out properly. This is thought' to be due to too ' much moisture at blossoming time. Studies are un- derway to learn more about this characteristic and to select lines ' which might , tolerate, higher humidity. * • • Safflower must be seeded early even 'in the southern areas, be- cause. it requires a. long season' to mature. It has about the same froSt, resistance as: barley and therefore is not endangered by early seeding. Particular atten- tion is being given to the selec- tion of lines which are early in maturity. • • • The safflower plant is subject S N 3 fN O 3 '.R..00.1401Ced Cops ".1.7wo alert poliG constables in a patrol .cal, in Johannesburg saw a suspicious • character •aneaking.frent leis home soon Of, ter midnight with a heavy 'bog over his shoulder. .Froni the man's furitive actions they were convinced theti" he had borittfil0 tad some horrible crime and Was now trying to hush >t pp: They shadowed him • eight miles to. a. gold nine .dump and watched with increasing ,excite.0.

His appetite, however, prompt- ed his ingenuity. He extracted the teeth from the deer, spent three hours filing and grinding them, down to size. Then he made a plate from plastic wood, moulding it around the roof of his mouth. Next, he fitted the deer's teeth into place and secured them with cement, The teeth worked perfectly, the venisen, eating it with its and Wharton was able to enjOY- owh teeth! ONE MAN'S MEAT . . .

They were useful hr counting games. They become wampum when we "played In- dian,' We used them to trace floral and geometrize designs on the carpet and the floev. Our imaginations were' alwelys find- ing new uses to which the shell's could be placed, writes 'B then E. Wood in The Christian Sci- ence Wither. Once, our cans were tilled_ with shells, we turned to other at- tractions 4t the shore, We re- moved our shoes and stockings, left the rock-covered beech, and walked out onto the ..muddy flats,. where we drew feces asici figures with pointed, sticks, When the turning tide warned us off the fiat, we hunted drift- wood on the upper beach and, delighted tp find an occasional dowel or lobster trap thrown .there by some flood-tide, When dinner time Came, the seven harvesters were glad of the cart ride home, Alice, Olive, and I, carried our harvest in' our arms but the others left, their harvest in several dozen little mounds in the lower meadow. Nor was the work, of the rock- weed harvest completed. Cousin Herman later mixed barn ma- nure and plant foliage with the rockweed. As long as the material • remained unfrozen., it was pitch- ed over eyery few days so that the plants would be well mixed and equally exposed to the cleansing rains. May was the month that saw the final disposal of the f"..ock- weed. Cousin Hermae had the same crew that he had had in October. But in the spring, Shep and Don-dog went .along be- cause they loved a run in the greening field, where' they mined for woodchuck runs. 'Again, the boys ,took turns' in driving the oxen;. again, Otis was given the longest turn; This time; the,four workers shared, the work equal- ly. The,y loaded the cart with compbst, which they later spread' on the field and the plowed piece, where the, turnips and the other root vegetables were to be planted. In May; we girls had no in- terest in a harvest of shells: We found' attraction in the meadow rather .Than on the shore,. We scouted the field for wild stra`tv- berry blossoms so that when July came we would be able to find the fragrant red berries. We fol- lowed- the meadow w brook in search, of the bright-flowered . marsh marigolds, whose' leaves we gathered 'for, greens. 'We walked along the edge of the meadow to inspect the bulging buds of -the wild apple trees. As Cousin Herman and his helpers spread the compost, they talked of the weather., the smelt- ing season, and the news , of neighborhood and village. But before' the 'task of.'spreading was completed, one of .the workers was sure to say, "There should be a good yield of hay in• this meadow. One harvest that al- ways pays is the rockvveed har- vest," DO UNTO OTHERS Pray, find no fault with the man who limps or stumbles along the road, Unless you -have wore the shoes he wears, or struggled beneath his load. There may be tacks in his shoes that hurt through hidden away frpin.view; Or the burden he bears, placed on your back,.might cause you to stumble too. Don't be too harsh with the man who sins, or pelt him with word Or stone, Unless you' are sure, yes .doubly sure, that you have not sins of your own. For you know, perhaps if. the tempter's voice should whisper as soft to you, As it did to him when he Went astray, 4 tWotild cause you to falter too. .4 4 4 4 I 4 1 I I I I 4 I 4 Long-Legged Arabian Orphan Winning Her Fight for.

Commercial varieties are susceptible to rust but rust re- sistant types are known and are being used in the breeding pro, gram. Root rots frequently have dime considerable damage on ir- rigated land particularly in some varieties. Selection is underway to increase the resistance to root rots and also leaf diseases which are found more frequently in some focations than others and in certain seasons. Safflower is grown for the oil contained in the seed. Particular attention is being given in the breeding program td those selec- tions which are higher in oil content. In making yield com- parisons with other oilseed crops, it is important to take into ac- count the fact that :safflower seed has 35 to 50 per cent hull. If safflower is to find a place among the oilseed crops in. Can - Ada it will have to maintain its rank on the• basis' of ell returns per acre. S S N O a 21 3 A A N S 3 A ,/ H S 3 0 d a 0 1 0 3 .1.

The morning selected had to be one of low tide. On some October Saturday, Cousin Herman was sure to say, "This is the day!' We young• folks rallied to the curt sum- mons. Austin and my brothers eagerly volunteered their as- sistance because they anticipated the pleasure of taking turns in driving Star and Bright, the tawny red oxen. Each of the three boys knew" equally well the use of "Gee" and "Haw," signals that were called to guide the beasts to the right and left. They were equally skilled in swinging the goad stick. But. they were not equally successful in hand- ling Star' and Bright. Austin Wes too quick in, the giving of directions and the use of the stick, His father always .said with a sign, "You will never make a teamster," Ben laughed and talked and, frequently sang when he guided the oxen. His high 'spirits Had an Upsetting, ef- fect upon his charges, who start- ed to swing their great heads uneasily. Their owner was quick to take the goad from Ben and place it in the steady hands of my older brother, who, accord- ing to Aunt Hannah, was a "born Friend." Otis' quiet steadiness was sure to calm the oxen. Olive and Alice and I joined the harVesting party with no ex- pectation of being allowed to drive the oxen. In fact, we pre- ferred to, be behind the great beasts rather than beside them. We found the ride ,in the two- Wheeled cart pleasurable as the oxen followed -the winding mea- dow road from barnyard to sea- shore, Though we girls Were familiar with the routine of the rock- weed harvest; we enjoyed watch- ing the work for a few. minutes. Star and Bright; their nostrils covered with nose-baskets, lest they turn to feeding, were guid- ed along the irregular margin of the field by dtis. Cousin Herman took the..laboriotts task of gath- ering up the seaweed with a pitchfork and tossing ,it to the ineadOW 'triage above the beach, Ben and Austin piled the wet, salty weeds onto the cart. The oxen drew the loaded cart to the rocky point at the end of the meadow. There the rockweed, was stacked in small piles to be bleached and' rinsed of salt by the fall rains and the winter: snows. Some years the supply of loose seaweed on the shore was not sufficient for my cousin's needs, Then he took a short-bladed scythe and cut the• rockweed from the ledges. This process we watched with interest and ad- miration, His successful cutting of the weed irilts rocky bed evi- denced his skill as a hand mow- tr. The rugged shore yielded a lia.rvest other than that of rock- Weed. It was that harvest which. we girls gathered. We had each brought along a tin can, one in which had come cocoa shells, the source' of a favorite breakfast beverage. We walked the beach In search' of mollusk shells, the white-domed covering of the whelk, the 'Tyrien-tinted peri- ;Oracle shells, and the fluted valves of the scallops.
