Every day he told me how much he loved me, and what a sweet little woman he married ... I did not understand at first, but I could see that he was aincere. Many times he dried my tears, and whispered sweet things in my ears. The doctor ordered care, fo• me, and my husband saw that I got it. "For nearly two months after the baby came, I had to have a nurse. When I mentioned the heavy ex- pense, try husband .1ssed me and told me not to worry my pretty head.

"I found out that no woman can hate a kind and faithful man.

Making Oil Can Spout Longer When oiling a washing machine or their household machinery, you sometimes find places hard to reach with the short spout of your oil can. Some folks found that one can use an ordinary soda fountain straw to help out in such an emergency, Just slip the end of the straw over the spout and you can reach all places on the machine. And you will be surprised to find how long a straw will last.

Looks like the heavy guard is.,a necessity, AVIV HRONICLES 4 t1NGER,�.AtaR Farmers have had to take some pretty hard knocks during the last couple of weeks -and mostly from the United States. Declaration of pork products as surplus, and the decision to dump millions of dollars worth of other agricultural pro- ducts on the export market at prices below cost, And then along comes Louis Bromfield, well- known author, and owner of Mal- abar Faroe in Ohio, and tells a Canadian audience that bad farm- ers are largely responsible for low farm prices and that "during the next 25 or 30 years bad farmers will be eliminated, leaving only the farmer who is a scientist, a special- ist and a hesiness-tnan." From other reports we notice a trend towards encouraging farm- ing on a large scale. Does that mean the gradual ousting of the 100 - acre farmer? Surely there is room for both types. In business we have our Eaton's and Simpson's; Woohvorth's and Kresge's--all of whom help promote competition. But where would we be without our small town merchants . , . or without our small acreage., farmers? We think the farmer should make every effort to be a good business- man -on a small scale. But de- . liver us from commercial farming as a pattern for agriculture. We might as well have collective farm- ing and done with it. There are many large farms in Ontario, with beautiful barns, wonderful live- stock and the very latest in ma- chinery. They are the show win- dows of agriculture, and we are proud that Canada can boast of so many. Yet it is the small farmers who are responsible for the bulk of agricultural products. It was the small farmer to whom the govern- • meat appealed for increased pro- duction during the war years; and also in the post-war period to feed the hungry peoples of the world. Now there is a surplus of farm produce in this country, and we are told, in effect, that the farm- er must learn to shift • for himself and not depend upon government support or government subksidiea, Well, not all farmers want sub-, sidies anyway -we realize only too well that we help pay for them.

Falling markets are bad enough but to insinuate that farmers have been short-sighted and are them- selves to blame, is adding insult to injury. It makes me think of the plight of an old soldier in Kip- ling's Barrack Room Ballads- "I done my six years' service. 'Er Majesty sez: 'Good day - You'll please to come when you're rung for, ' And 'ere's your 'ole back pay; And tourpence a day for batcy- an' bloomin' generous, too; An' now you can make yer fortune - The same as your officers do." Farmers, too, have done their years of service -so now they can be discharged and left to their own devices But if there should be an- other war thenthe farmer would get a lot of back -fatting once again, and the old soldier be encouraged to rejoin the army. There is another aspect 1 don't lilt, in the preset r u+ix-up-and that is the depressing effect it must have on the younger generation. For years, now everything has been done to encourage young folk to stay on the farm in fact, we had come to the place when the rising generation was beginning to realise that farming might not be such a bad idea after all. .But what'encour- agement is there now, when almost every day something comes to light which seems to spell blue ruin for the farmer? Personally, I don't think things are that bad, because there is more to farming than dollars and cents, but that knowledge is something which comes only with the passing of time. Some years ago Partner and d at- tended a meeting near here. I think it was in the 30's We listened to several speakers telling farmers how to get the hest returns for their work -just as we are being told today. Then Professor Graham, formerly of the O.A.C., spoke briefly. Dr Gra- ham die not dwell on the problems confronting farmers but stressed the fact that farming was a way of living.' There was more inspiration in his few remarks than in all that had been said beim e. It niay be nec- essary for a farmer to be a scientist, a specialist, and a business -than, but he is also an idealist and a philoso- pher -or he wouldn't be a termer. And his idealism, and his philosophy of life will carry him over the bumps when science, specialization and business ability have let him clown. i was amused when 1 redd in the paper that Louis Bromfield was pre- sented by the Canadian Author's As- sociation with a copy of Peter Mc- Artlnur'e "In Pastures Green," I wondered what these two would have in common -Louis Bromfield, farm efficiency expert, and Peter McArthur, well -loved friend and champion of the ordinary, everyday farmer. He, too, believed in farming "as a way of living." MULISH The doctor had for a patient a -stubborn, self upiniated man who disregarded most of his advice and diet rules. After the third visit, with no itnprovement in the man's con- dition the doctor blew up. "/ have done all that I could for you, but sou refuse to follow my directions," Ile said, "I suggest that in the future you consult Dr. X down the street.' "Why, that mail is a veterinary!" 0118 stubborn one, exclaimed. " I am well aware of the fart." the •doctor replied. Good day, sir!" Lew anti Useful Too Runless.

Twice As Shy As The Chickadee Among the winter birds which patronize a feeding station, few have a more ingratiating manner than the little downy woodpeckers. They are like bright-eyed, shy, slightly awk- ward youngsters trained to mind their manners and watch their words, They are dressed in black and white bib -and -tucker, and the boys among them have red' caps. They come to the grain board in swooping, little bursts of flight perch there, look around, and choose perhaps one seed. Then they spot the suet. That is their meat, literally„ They work- around it like acrobats, in every conceivable position, pre- ferably upside down. And then they are off again, usually to the nearest apple tree, where their chisel -beaks probe. unerringly to the dormant larvae of borers waiting for spring. The downy is only a little larger than a chickadee, but he is twice as shy, lie comes seldom to the feeder when other birds are there, and he is ane of the few birds which sel- raise a ruckus over food. Perhaps he knows that there is enough, if not plenty, to be had by working for it in any orchard, even in win- ter, Certainly he is not one to take alt his meals at the free counter; he conies and goes as he pleases, even at the suet box. And he is provident enough to find himself a home in a hollow tree and spend the winter nights in that snug shelter. 1f there is valid criticism of the downy it is that he is too quiet. His song is simple, with no more than a dozen notes all told. But it is a sweet song, double sweet Int winter, and its qualit' is good cheer. Perhaps it seems so sweet simply because w have to wait and licten t humidifier Evaporation of water front rieiWe pores of lightweight eseamits material maintains proper humidity in dry air or dry rooms, olalme the stanufacturer.
