WHAT OTHER
NEWSPAPERS 'ARE SAYING.
ONE LESSON FROM RUSSIA
In this country we send our con-
victs to prison. In Russia convict
labor built a canal uniting the Baltic
and White Sea. Other convict labor
is being used in building other canals
andimproving and extending railway
connection between old Russia and
the Pacific Coast. c oa This is but one
o e
of a goodly number of lessons Rus-
sia is teaching and from which les-
sons other nations might profit.

COW BELL WANTED
Like the trend in styles for people
there also appears to be one for ani-
mals too. On Tuesday ' afternoon
when Ozzie William's band arrived
in town they inquired at the News
office to learn where they might beg,
steal, buy or borrow . a good old
fashioned cow bell. We referred the
band to several people in and'around
town who .might have one but every
'one visited was of the opinion that
cow bells belonged to the days of
the hoop skirt, etc. In the meantime
the orchestra is still looking for a
genuine cow bell, but for what pur-
pose we have no idea. Probably it
is to replace the saxophone.

THE DEATH TOLL STILL
CLIMBING
Ontario's death toll mounts stead-
ily weekend by week -end. Last
week -end four persons were killed
and over twenty injured.
And the cause? Motor accidents
in the main, and one of the most ser-
ious just in the next county.
When ears meet head on at the
crest of a hill, or cars sheet trains at
level crossings,or turn a few comes-!
saults before landing in a ditch or a
field, there is sure to be an accident.1
And, a fatal accident at that. It iso
not ,the fault of the hill, or the tram'
en the level crossing, or the ditch, or',
the field, although all four invariably
get the' blame.
Nor does the 'blame lie with the
motor car, or the law which permits
it to run on our roads and highways.
There is just 'one•place to lay the
blame for these motor accidents and
fatalities. Just one. And that is oni
the heads of those who sit under the
wheel of the cars, or who drive from
the back seats.
One does not have to go Very far,
nor search very hard, for trouble' on
our highways. • It just comes. But
it comes with amazing suddenness
sometimes.-Seaforth Expositor.
NEW PUBLIC SCHOOL

SIX-YEAR-OLD GIRL LEARNS
ROW A BEN DUSTS.
The Peterborough Examiner re-
ceived a letter from a father who
writes: "Our little girl of six came
home to -day and wanted to know
what a hen did when it dusted. She
heard something about it at school or
on the way home and she has never
seen a hen dusting. As hens must
have dusted on the Tenth Concession
of ;which you write now and then, per-
haps we had better turn the case
over to -you for an ansyer."
The editor, Mr, A. R. Kennedy,
rises .to the occasion by confessing
that when he was a. little boy on the
Tenth Concession his people used to
keep speckled hens who wandered a-
bout the backyard 'and used to spend
cjuite a lot of time dusting when they
were not eating or in search of food.
There follows this technical' defini-
tion:,
"The hen gets -in a place' where
thei.e is some duet, sits down and
then proceeds to use her claws to
throw the dust up through her fea-
thers, Then when she gets well dust-
ed she proceeds to shake herselr.
something like a dog when it comes
out of water. The speckled hens al-
ways seemed to feel,better. We used
to say the hen dusted to kill off the
lice, but whether that is so it's hard
to say because hens will dust when
they have no lice: In the Winter
time there was a box in the corner
of their house and it' was filled with
some sand' and ashes and the hens
dusted there. In the Spring there
was a place ,just inside the 'drive-
shed. The sun used to shine in there'
and the frost came out of the ground
rather early, and as soon as there
was a little dry spot in loose earth
the speckled hens dtisted there."
The sad rt'ruth is that little girls
and even little boys who are brought
up in cities miss many interesting
experiences which are normally en-
joyed by children in the country. As
a matter of course country -bred
youngsters acquire an intimate know-
ledge of -nature and life which is not
vouchsafed to their less fortunate
cousins in the larger centres of 'pou-
lation: Mail and Empire..
LIGHTNING TEARS PAIL FROM
RAND
Harvey Pedlar of Feversham had a
miraculous escape during a severe
electrical storm which passed over
this section last week. He was stand-
ing in the stable door when a blind-
ing flash of lightning came, tearing a
tin pail out of his hand and ripping
the handle front the pail, Pedlar was
uninjured, however.

TIMES CHANGE, THANK GOOD-
NESS!
In yesterday's issue on this page
appeared an interesting letter from
Von Kuehremberg Plakholm of Dixie,
Ont., explaining how sauerkraut is
made by the Germans. There is, of
course, a good deal of it made in this
province, especially in those sections
occupied by people of Germandes-
cent, and many not of ,that descent
learned early in life to appreciate the
Merits of sauerkraut as a food.
Two of the points stressed by our
correspondent will bear further em-
phasis. One of them is that all germs
are not bad—those that are in sauer-
kraut and in sour milk are beneficial
to lean and battle victoriously with
harmful bacteria in the human body.
Perhaps this is true enough.
The other point that interested us
was the description of the method by
which sauerkraut is, or was. made,
"After a few bushels of kraut had
been dumped in the container," said
our correspondent, "two men left
their hot foot -bath and barefoot,
their trousers rolled up, ,started to
stamp it down by walking around
on the kraut." These men, barefooted
stamped it down tight.
Nowadays one does not quite like
the idea of having anything they aro
expected to eat stamped down by the
bare feet of men or even children.
Not only was sauerkraut so stamped
down, but also grapes in the making
of wine; and bakers' assistants In
the making of bread stamped down
the dough with their bare feet. En-
ergy was needed in working sauer-
kraut,grapes and dough and, a g l g m an
age when there was little energy but
that of physical man, it was found
that bare feet with the weight of a
man above them were of more force
than the bare hands with only the
force of the shoulders behind them.
Not only was that age less inventive,
but it was less fastidious than the
present one.
There must' today be many better
ways of stamping down sauerkraut,
pressing grapes and working dough
than by having bare-footed men jump
in and dont with their bare heels and
toes. There can be no special merit
in bare feet for such tasks. The ma-
terial has to 'be pressed, squeezed and
worked' and machinery, no doubt, can
do it much better and faster than hu-
man feet ever did it. In cases of this
kind most of us will be inclined to feel
that machinery is well employed even
if it has thrown , men out of work.
One does -not like to think that the
dough of his bread was, in the days
of his youth, ,stramped by the bare
feet of the village baker's hired man.
And one would prefer his sauerkraut
squeezed and pressed by a machine
controlled by the hand'•of a man who
had his boots on and feet unconcerned
in the process.—Toronto 'Star.
Latest reports seem to say .that
there is no indication that the young
Toronto native, T. Patterson Mossy
whose charred body was found in a
hay stack in' England, was murdered.
The police are still investigating to
find out the truth regarding the
strange death of the young man,
who was a student at Balloil. Hia
mother had only joined the young
man 'in England a few months ago.
The settlement of 500 British fami-
lies in Manitoba is mooted and the

Group will come to Canada to in-

Perhaps the main big problem of
most persons is keeping expenditures
under income. Presumably most peo-
ple succeed in this endeavour, for
otherwise they would get disastrous,-
Ey
isastrous,ly into debt. But undoubtedly bal-
ancing budgets means painful econ-
omy, Many legitimate desires have
to be denied. Parents may reconcile
themselves tothe disagreeable situ-
ation, but Children are apt to become
impatient and rebellious: they are
apt to clamour for money or clothes
or pleasures or indulgences that sim-
ply cannot be granted them.
I am wondering if it would not be
good practice for all of us who are
under the necessity to count our
pennies if at the beginning of each
year we made ,,out a rather precise
budget of our requirements of food,
shelter, clothing and simple amen-
ities—this budget to be in accordance
with our income, of course. I know
that this idea of mine is as old as
the hills, yet it'is not common prac-
tice
raytice in these times to make out
budgets after the manner of my sug-
gestion. Most of us just shut our
eyes, and spend the money which
comes to us, with a fear of over-
spending—spending beyond our in-
come. And a good many of us do
over -spend our incomes, by buying
on the installment plan. We go into
debt, with our eyes wide open, sooth-
ing ourselves with the reflection that
so long as we can pay the weekly
or monthly instalments out of cur-
rent income ,it is all right.
I Iistened to a conversation be-
tween two men .about allowances' to
wives. One of the nen was young-.
about 30; the other we's twice 30.
The older man told of an incident
which occurred 30 years ago. His
wife had an allowance of an amount
equal to one-third her husband's In-
come. She was expected to pay the
weekly household expenses and clothe
herself, but at the end of the first.
year of this arrangement, she asked
for a largerallowance, saying that
what she was getting was , inade-
quate—that 'her clothes bill alone
was consuming over $300. Thereup-
on the husband agreed to pay her
clothes bill as an extra for the next
year, but required her to make out
an estimate of what she would re-
quire. Gleefully his wife set about
this pleasant job—in conference tvith
her husband, who wrote down the
list of things wanted anti needed, and
the cost of each item. There were
so many suits, dresses and frocks; so
many pairs of shoes so many hats;
so many pairs of stockings and
gloves; and so on and so on. His
wife was not trying to be too econ-
omical! This was her big day, and
she was making the most of it. And
when the whole thing was added -up,
what do you think was the total?—
$2521
I imagine that if every member of
the family made up estimates of his
or her requirements at the beginning
of each year, with a breakdown into
monthly requirements, trimming the
list to conform to income limitations,
it would be a most excellent procedure
For then each person would be more
careful with purchases, and there
would be both a mental and an actual
adjustment of income to imposed
limitations. Any over -spending one
'month would have to be corrected in
the following month. With each per-
son knowing precisely What his or
her allowance was, . there would be
a studied and :successful effort to
balance spendings and allowance.
This practice of ' "budgetary con-
trol" is common in Big Business. "Iri-
deed ,it is a vitally necessary prat-
Lice.
I feel that our banks should distri-
bute leaflets which would stimulate
families and private persons to em-
ploy ,the beidgerary control system
to their private affairs.
it is highly important that chil-
dren should be taught the financial
management of their affairs. I sug-
gest that the breadwinner should re-
quire each of his children at age 10
or so to snake up a budget, with the
aid, of course, of the parents. This
budget would take in such items as.
clothes, school fees and books, pocket
money, pleasure money, holiday'mon-
ey; and then the child should be cre-
dited with his or her "allowance'„
being given, of course, his or her
pocket' and pleasure money. The child
would then giveto the parent each
month a statement ' of its expendi-
tures or of expenditures made on its
behalf. In this way the child would
be perceptive of what it costs for
everything, and: would steadily learn
how to balance expenditures and al-
lowances. Parents who fail to teach
their children the practice of budget.
Ling have only themselves to• blame
if .and when their children acquire
carelesshabits in regard to money.
and become unreasonable in their
demands of parents for pleasures a and
indulgences which cannot be afford-
ed.
Until all
of us become cost-con-
scious, we are apt to be extravagant.
All of us are guilty of employing
others to do work for us which we
ought to do ourselves if we are to
"break even" or get ahead. In the
old days of our parents and grand
parents, there was a minimum of
reliance on outsiders to do work
needing to be done. Cooking of bread
and of most other things was clone at
honie. Dress -malting, and clothes -
washing, were done in the home. Fam-
ilies grew their own vegetables to, a
large extent They attended te,
their own gardents and lawns. They
walked more. And in other ways
they were thrifty. As the years pas-
sed their circumstances improved.
Nowadays, however, all families,
even rural families, employ. outside
labour, which labour has to be paid
for. A consequence is that themain
breadwinner's salary is not sufficient
for all expenses, and so meinbers of
the family have to go to work — to
pay for the outside labour.
Take the modern kitchen, for -ex-
ample. In the ofd days its furnish-
ing and equipment were simple' and
inexpensive. Today, by way of con-
trast, it is an easy matter to spend
$1000 on one's kitchen -modern sink,
cupboards and cabinets, refrigerator,
fine range, washing machine, a'va-
riety of electric utilities, beautiful
enamelware, :metal top table, .and so
on. Even so, families with costly
kitchens buy tinned and glassed foods
in large measure; do a minimum of
home -baking, send alI washing to the
laundry; and perhaps hire a cook or
"general."
Take, too, the modern farm. It
employs a great variety of mechan-
isms
echanisms to minimize human labour. Now,
it hardly needs to be said that a ma-
chine designed to economize human
labour is just the same as additional
man labour. Farmers will tell you+
that they cannot afford hired men
or to pay them more than a certain
wage. But they are, in reality, em-
ploying hired men when they buy
and use a tractor •or 'a binder or a
creast -separator, or a litter -carrier,
or a gasoline engine.
Farming today is an unprofitable
enterprise for many because of the
large amount of outside labour ,em-
ployed—labourgiven .in the form
of
machines.
I ant not against labour-saving ma.
chines. Indeed, I ani all for them if
they can be afforded. It may not be
very agreeable to housewife or fan-
ner to be required to do more work
herself or himself; but more personal
labour has to be performed if some
of us are to get out of the financial
bog which is submerging us.
WHAT CAUSES FAT
Some people are born fat, others
achieve fatness and the rest have it
thrust upon then. In a great many
cases fat people are descended from
fat parents and 'there is little that
can be done about it, although physi-
cians' claim that a certain reduction
can be obtained by careful consump-
tion of food and proper dieting. Yet it
is difficult for a man or woman
reaching the mid thirties to stay thin
the
general trend in
isthe
a ss
if fatness
family. He or she can try, but In
many cases strict dieting will set up
other troubles. Now Hazel M. Hauck
of the New York College of Home Ec-
onomics at Ithaca, N.Y., says it's that
tempting snack between meals which
causes the extra pounds on the ordin-
aryinactive person. She adds: "For
eating ono caramel, one-seventh of a
mile is needed to walk it off. And
for one jelly -bean, one-tenth of a mite
is needed and for a five -cent bar of
chocolate, four miles." Not much use
starving oneself at the table and then
piling on the fat rolls as one sits
sewing, reading or playing bridge.

he Fifty
By Ada Melville Shaw
Myrtle Stone and hex chum, Ethel
Darlington walked down the street,
laughing, swinging hands by little
fingers linked lovingly together, their
feet keeping merry step and their
hearts beating a still merrier tattoo
under their warm jackets.
"Fifty cents!" cried Myrtle squeez-
ing the little finger at her side so
hard that if it had not; been a "love
squeeze" it would have hurt. "When-
ever have we had fifty cents to do
with just exactly as we pleased?"
. "Yes, and of course it is to be spent
exactly as . you please!" answered
Ethel, returning the love squeeze with
interest.
"Sure! Because I please as you
please and your pleases please my.
pleases and my pleases—N"
Then they both laughed again and,
as dear James Whitcomb Riley says,
"des loft" at nothing in particular
and everything in general because
they were in love with one -another
and the big pleasant world.
Their dancing feet brought up at
a florist's and paused spell -bound be-
fore. the window full of beauty. It
was a sharp winter day and the
breath of carnations and violets steal-
ing out to the gazers seemed love-
tier by contrast with the chill out-
side.
"Now, then" said Myrtle, "which,
shall it be? You must have your
choice -- carnations, roses, violets,
mignonett, hyacinths—O, my blessed
dad, to spare me a whole big chunk
of silver all at once!"
The Stones and the Darlingtons
were next-door neighbors, and 'in
each one of the brick cottages where
they lived, was just one young daugh-
ter to make the home sunshiny. They
were not what we call poor people,
but it was very seldom either one of
the girls could have "a whole big
chunk of silver" to spend on some
lovely "no -necessity," as Ethel called
the needful$ of life.
Around the corner from the modest
brick cottages was a handsome stone
house, dubbed "the mansion," by our
two girls. In this "mansion," all by
themselves, lived three maiden sis-
ters, who all their lives had never
known the joy of having one fifty -
cent piece to spend for a "no-neces-
sity"—for the reason that they had
all the necessities and a great ma-
jority of the luxuries of life. When-
ever they wanted something they1
just bought it, and it is to be feared
that once in a while the two friends
in the little cottages around the
corner had fleeting glimpses of that'
green-eyed monster whose name be-'
gins with a big "J"
Once a year the three sisters, the
Misses Morse, gave a reception to the
young people of the neighborhood, and
once a year Mrytle and Ethel hush,
ed their merry steps on velvet rugs,
drank chocolate out of real Haviland
and ate ice cream with tiny solid sil-
ver spoons two hundred years old.
To -night was the reception; Myrtle
had fifty cents for a "no -necessity,"
and the "no -necessity" was to be flow-
ers for thein to wear on the great
occasion.
They decided on a big bunch of
sweet violets, and burst into the
'Piece.
warm, moist air of the florist's room
with a whirl of frosty freshness that..
made the modest flowers gasp and.:
send out sweet breath of incense.
"Mr. Jones!" — they knew the pre-,
prietor.well — "please don't say the;
violets are more-than'fifty cents, will" •
you?"
But Mr. Jones was engrossed net
the morning paper, and • his sober
face seemed to have., no interest int
bright-eyed girls and bunches of vio-
lets. , "Right here in this prosperous.
town!" he said to Himself, laying;'
down the paper at last , and coming
toward his customers.
"What is the natter?" asked..
the girls. '
"People starving, that's what's, tha:
matter."
"Starving? Where? Who?"
"Why, over in the East End: That
mills are shut down, there's been,.
sickness, and now they say the men's.
money is giving out and the shops."
give no more credit, Well; what cam. .
I do for you two? You're not starr-
ing at any rate. Violets? That's at.
beautiful bunch for fifty cents."
Myrtle held them' up. Theircolor-
matched the eyes of her friend, but.:
her own eyes had taken on a far -a-:
way look. She turned to her compan-
ion.
"Ethel—would you care?"
Indeed I wouldn't!" exclaimed Eth-
el, who always seemed instantly Ise
know the spirit of her friend.'s>'
thought if not the details.
"You don't know—"
"Yes, but I do. We can spend tbe- •
money—"
`-for some of those poor people!'$' b
Myrtle finished the sentence for her.
"Would you excuse us, Mr. Jones, if
-
we do not buy the violets?"
"Indeed I will?" answered the.
florist heartily, "and what's more, if
you are going to help those people..
let me join in," and taking something-
from his pocket he handed it to thr
girls—another big chunk of silver,'
and twice as large as theirs!
With the rushing thanks of sweet„
warmhearted youth they hurried a-
way "to tell our mothers.'
Now good deeds have a way of
spreading out and whether it reads
like a fairy tale or not, it is true that
by night two good-sized grocery wa-
gons drove slowly through the gloo-
my streets of the East End.
The maiden sisters in the "Man-
sion" and others had got wind of the•
enterprise, and the "chunks of' silver"
had multiplied delightfully. Two hap-
py -faced mothers accompanied the'
drivers of the wagons and distribut-
ed to other grateful mothers and!
fathers and cltilciren, bread and• meat.,
flour, vegetables, coffee, with pro-
mises of still further help while the-
mills stayed shut down. It was ix,
sight to snake one laugh and cry—a.
Sight good angels must have rejoiced!'.
over.
The reception was a brilliant sue -
cess. Not a flower adorned the sim-
ple, graceful toilets of our two girls..
