She was born and grew to woman hood on the Cut Line and among old residents will be remembered) as Martha Dennis. Mr. William Proctor of Delroit, who had been the guest of Mrs. C. W. Williams of Goderich township, left by the afternoon train on Tuesday for home. v FIND INDIAN AXE HEAD An interesting relic of the days of long ago, when - Indians roamed through the bush that covered present Huron towns and townships, was brought into•the Expositor office last week by Mr. Oliver Anderson of Hal- lett township. It was an Indian axe -head, chipped out of stone, perfectly shaped, and measuring 7% by 3 inches, and tap- ering to a head which measures four inches across. Around the edge of the head, groov- es had been cut, apparently to hold the throngs that bound the head to the handle, which would probably be of wood. Mr. Anderson turned up this in- teresting relic while harrowing in a field. It is the first one he has ever come across, although at different times he has found Indian arrow heads in the fields on his farm.—The Huron Expositor. • v American tourists visiting Canada are expected to reach an "all time high" this summer.

For example, all the en- tries in the doll -dressing competition at the Canadjan National Exhibition will be sent te little English girls who have been "blitzed" out of doll and doll-heuaee. ..; lene t Ile seeks favors from those who owe him nothing. In short, he is mean. He has no streak of generosity in his make-up. His character is indicated by his countenance. He looks to be selfish. Indeed, his countenance sug- gests that he would cheat, drive a hard bargain, lie. This young man has ability. He is not a slacker. He has keenness. His face shows him to be resolute, and his carriage is pleasing. As a salesman he is successful, yet people who know him distrust him. He has vanity and ambition, yet my guess is that he'll never amount to much in this world. It is conceivable that he will get rich in a money sense in the years ahead —as a consequence of his diligence and ability and hardness and greedi- ness. Yet the better riches -the es- teem and confidence of his wife when he marries, of the children when he becomes a father, of customers; of employees, of neighbors and aecusin- tances, and the satisfaction of Imow- ing that he is contributing to others' good and happiness and security— will not be his, for he is losing his soul. He will not have the friendship of good people. His' meanness will be perceptible quickly to those who get to know him and who have dealings with him, 1 suppose that in every community are to be found young men like him of whom I have written, but the good thing is that they are few. It is these men who are selfeeekers, spong- ers, cheaters., liars, and grinders of employees whom the: New Order will, There is another young man whom I see from time to time and whose lot is tmeviable—by all right-minded persons. He has iittle to do, and so is deteriorating fast. Ile was a few months ago in a department store, where, presumably, he was kept wholesomely busy and on his toes. But he has joined his father's busi- ness, and his father's business is al-_ most at a stand still because of the war. His father has a territorial 'ag• eney for a very large manufacturing company whose products are being sold to the Government for war pur- poses. The company has therefore very little to sell to its former east- erners, and this sales agency in Tor- onto is throttled, as it were: it has nothing to sell. So both the father and the son have little else to do but twiddle their thumbs—a situation very bad for both father and son, but particularly so for the son: he has nothing to do but kill time. Presum- ably both receive a salary from head- quarters. Probably there are some young men who may think that it must be fine to get, paid for doing nothing, Does it need to be said that the way of growth and progress and fine self - development is to be kept busy --ere. ductively' and usefully busy,—all the time? Soft jobs are deadly—fatal. The man in a soft job tends to shrivel ttp, , to acquire bad habits, to have a weedy mind, It is when a man is under heavy and persisting pressure, when his job challenges his best qualities, when he is being stiffly op- posed by •obstacles and resistance, that he grows mentally, in character, in ability to perform higher-up joba; that he qualifies for promotion. A man in an easy job -a job 'Which fails to tax his mind, his genius, his fid- elity, his quality of steadfastness, his resolution, his diligence—is not to be envied. It is the job which stretches one, which may at times be baffling, which employs all one's assets, that fits one for bigger jobs and bigger pay. In his boyhood he lived on a farm — toiled on. it. I do not know at what age he left the farm, nor the particular circumstances. He said that he wanted to be a doctor, but probably this was out of the ques- tion, for financial seasons, J'or a number of years he has lived in Tor- onto—a salesman of sorts; he is an auctioneer. I remarked to him that once I had the idea of writing a series of art- icles about fano-bred boys: like Henry Ford, for example—who had won faire and fortune in a non -farm- ing oeupation that I had given up this idea because it would seem to be en-• merging lads born on a farm to leave the farm if I wrote about Ford, and Marshall Field; and John I3. Patter- son, founder of the National Cash Register Company, and about famous doctors and bankers and manufacttu'- ers and insurance company presid- ents, and publishers and railroad pres- idents and authors. and editors. Then this man with whom I talked said that ,he believed that farmers of farm -born children should deliberat- ely try to make faun -life agreeable to their children, and give them greater freedom, and pay them wages or an equivalent even while they are young. He said that it hurts a boy's pride when .he has no money or lib- erty of his own—when lie has to go to his father to ask for money. It would be very interesting and very Useful if there were prepared by the Government; a book or a bull- eton on the subject, Why boys Leave the Farmn. • All of us know of farmer's sons who live in cities and whose lot is lowly without glamour or ease or com- pensations. Most fanners' sons who go to the big cities live in back streets, in cheap houses, and earn their wage by performing physical labor, They have not the indepen- dence or the dignity or the security. which there parents had or have. �. Will the day ever come when the State will forbid beauty contests— beeause of their bad effect on those who enter them? The State forbids us to do many things which have a hurtful effect on our morals or which menace our physical safety or which tend to impair our health, For eq- ually good and perhaps similar reas- ons it could forbid beauty contests. I suppose that the beginning of beauty contests was the Beautiful Babies competition. Then Hollywood underscored Beauty in grown-ups. Then seaside resorts put on beauty contests. Then the idea spread like a prairie fire. The idea was widened. Today grown -Up men and under -2A,' :men parade themselves before judges in a prize contest. Prizes are being offered for beautiful children and beautiful plisses. Parents of children and grown-up daughters who cannot hope to win a prize in a beauty contest should be grateful to heaven for this mercy. Here I recall a story worth re -tell- ing. An aged lady of Paris, when a distinguished statesman was intro- duced to her, said to him, "Now, am I not the ugliest woman in Paris? re- plied, with ready wit and gallantry, "In all the world, Madame." I am not belittling beauty. I like to look at beautiful women even as do other men, but this is not the same as saying that I want beautiful wom- en to match themselves against one another even as horses and fancy work and pictures and dress designs and motor cars are matched against one another in relation to the test of beauty. When a young woman, or a girl in her mid -teens, or a child, enters a beauty contest, the effect on her mind 'and, on her habits is disastrous. Who in his right mind wants to marry a girl who enters beauty contests'? • V ---- WHAT YOUR WAR SAVINGS STAMPS CAN ACCOMPLISH 25 may bring down a German plane for it will buy one sound of 40 m.m. anti -aircraft -shells. 36 will stop a Hun with five ma- chine-gun bursts.
