art that every child should learn, but

Large Crops -No Help.
Some of the farmers in this vicinity
who cultivated more land are now in
• quandary, as they cannot get the
help required to harvest the crops. To
a certain extent some cf these fanners
are to blame for this state of affair.,
for when help was offered them isr the
spring they declined it, saying they
could do all the work themselves. The
members of the Colborne Farmers
Club, at • meeting held in the spring
to consider the advisability of produc•
ing more, made sumo very dis-
paraging remarks about be help of-
fered them, saying "they did not want
the town people showing them bow to
farm," and they passed a resolution
not to go in for greater proouctiuu.
In the face of this attitude, is it to be
wondered at that the townspeople ere
not anxious to help them out ?
Should Be Mutual Understanding.
In case these notes should be mis-
coustrt.0d, let me hasten to say that
I do not wish to include every farmer
in [hie indictment, neither do I wish
to retard the fernier from getting the
help that he so badly needs. We owe
a duty to our country arid our soldier
lads to render all the help we can to
make the comiug harvest one of the
best possible. Not a scrap must be
left to waste ; everyone that can
spare a day, a week, or a month, should
put the time in on the farm. At the
same tirne, the farmer must be willing
to accept the help in the spirit in
which it is offered and drop the idea
that the town dweller wants s vaca-
tion on his farm or wants,taabow him
how it should be done. Once a mu-
tual understauding is arrived at be-
tween the fernier and his help. 1 be-
lieve the barvest can be gathered
without any trouble.
The Show Grounds.
The request of the secretary of the
Agricultural Society for ;he rebuild-
ing of the poultry house brings to
mind many other repairs that are ne-
cessary to the buildings on the Agri-
cultural grounds. Something that ie
very much needed is the covering in
of the grandstand. On • very bot or
wet day 011ie is absolutely no shelter
whatever, Lhd it is decidedly uncom-
fortable to have to sit in the glaring
sun to watch the races and other
events(' A (kr/Mid-in bandstand
also would Le appreciated by the
band, and it could aso be used for
other purposes. A fedicoats of paint
on the whole structure and we should
have show buildings that would be a
credit to the town.
.Cruelty to Aaintkls.
'tevsral cases of cruelty to animals
generally occur about this time of the
year. the chief sufferers being the
domestic cat and dog. 31any thought-
less people go away for a vacation,
lock up the house and forget•ell about
the poor cat, and it is only the
thoughtfulness of neighbors that saves
the animal from starvation. The an-
nouncement of the enforcement of the
dog tag bylaw is the means whereby
young dogs and sometimes old onee,
too, are turned adrift prohahly to
starve or to be the victims of ill-treat-
ment to save paying the tax. Both
these form t of cruelty come within the
law and it an example were made of
some of the offenders it would act as a
deterrent to others.

who was aeked to lend a rope to a

with a rope when you do not want to
lend it," was the reply. -The Chris-
