"SAL Elit E A ANNE 141 sT *tot Faitay atinheArt, It is all very well for me to Advise a distracted young wife to ignore her meddling in -laws -but what is she to do when the most offensive of them lives right next door? "My husband's sister is our nearest neighbor, Anne Hirst," writes a worried bride. "I had not m e t her when we mar- ried several months ago, but she keeps me so upset, day after day, that I am almost distracted. "She is in and out of our house Alt the time - or she sulks and doesn't come in for a whole week, She treats me like a moron -tells me where to place our furniture, what to serve for dinner (I'ni a better cook than she is) and even ;what to wear when we go any- where together, (I tried to be friendly before I knew how awful She was, and now I'm stuck with her.) 'AN AUTOCRATIC SNOB "She is a born gossip, and only 1,tappy when she is repeating nasty 4hings about others. (I'll bet she Caw, W Add a touch of white to your chairs!

Print plainly PATTERN NUMBER, your NAME and AD- DRESS, talks about me, too,) She is very opinionated and outspoken, and n� one else can ever win in an argu- ment, Nobody really likes het', but het husband is influential here, and so they put up with her, "At first, she snubbed rite every time I opened my mouth. But since she has learned that my family has a little money, she fawns in such a disgusting way that I aim ashamed for her , She thinks she can dictate niy whole life. I used to be so lighthearted and gay; but site brings out the worst in ate, and I find myself almost as bad-tempered as she isl "Yet she has spells of being really kind, and then I'tn ashamed. 'My husband is wonderful, He never really liked her, and they didn't get along even as children, He says, 'Just tell her off' -but I'm afraid to." * * * * Your husband is right, What * this woman needs is somebody to *. take the upper hand, and keep * it, * You can do that, if you will. * You will have to remind her * that this is your home, that you * will decorate it as you please, * and that the way you dress, and * live, is none of her business, * Once or twice, I expect, will * suffice to convince her that you * are a person of strong character * who refuses to be led around by * the nose. She will cone to re- * spect you, and as she does, her * attitude will change. * Your best protection against * her inroads on your privacy is to * start right now to accumulate * your own circle of friends, and * enter into their activities.

Sleepers By The Dozen -Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Colberg and three of their children slept -in the family car after being evicted from their ten -room frame house. Seven other Colberg young, stets, exhausted by the ordeal of moving from their house, slept in the homes of neighbors, The family of 12 were evicted so that their property can be used for commercial purposes. g,� q�''? X11 !i H l'� CLJ? INGERFARM Gvoeva.doltt,.e A. Ctaroke, This is definitely the morning after. The morning after time end of a hectic week, More rain, of course, Then when the weather cleared the men decided it would be better to stook -thrash than to draw the wheat to the barn. But the day the threshers were to come we had another heavy shower. More delay. By the time the wea- ther had cleared again and the machine on its way another thresh- ing machine had moved in to one of our neighbors, so that made it bad for both of us. In the mean- time there had been an Institute meeting I couldn't amiss. For one timing Edna Jaques was speaking - and I had been given the little job of introducing her -and was also on the lunch committee -three good reasons for not staying at hone. However, the meeting over I was soon back to making pies and apple sauce, and figuring out the rest of the meals, ready for threshing either Friday or Saturday, Then daughter phoned .. , she and friend J. J, would be out to help us if I would meet therm at Bronte (15 miles) at 9 o'clock Saturday morn- ing ... she was sure the help they could give would make up for the time spent in meeting them. There was logic in that, so I went. And you know that drive was quite a relaxation -the fresh morning air, dew glistening on every leaf and cobwebs on the fields and pastures all a-sparkkle as if they had liter -- ally been sprinkled with diamond dust. It was very beautiful. * * * So we threshed on Saturday ail the wheat and half a field of oats -and we had 12 for dinner and 14 for supper -that is including ourselves, It was our first experi- ence at threshing without horses- without horses of our own, I should say -one neighbor brought his team. All told, there was one team and three tractors in tate field. That naturally led to a discussion after the threshing as to the relative merit of tractors versus horses, Partner and Bob were in favor of tractors; Johnny, who has been working for us for the last two Weeks, was loyal to the horses. If he was farming on his own he "wouldn't have a tractor on the place," Strange to linear a young fellow talk that way. Partner and Bob like tractors because it is pos- sible to get closer to the separator and quicker getting back and forth to the field, Several tines this sum- mer Partner has said how glad he was he let the horses go. Pasture problems have been bad enough - they would•have been worse with the horses to worry about. But of corse there are disadvantages to the tractor too. There is $15 to pay out of every few weeks for gas. Horses might actually cost" that much to feed if you figured the pas- ture out in dollen and cents, but you wouldn't notice it because it wouldn't make any difference to your bank account, In changing from horses to tractors it is very necessary to take a long-range view all the time, * * * There are certainly fashions in farming just as there are fashions in hats and dresses. Our first threshilmg on this farm was with a steam . gine, We had to have a good pile of rough wood ahead of time as fuel for the engine. Then there was water to draw for the boiler before we started threshing, and again while the men were hav- ing their dinner, Then came the tractor driven separator -•- with a team to draw the separator up Into the barn, Later the thresher had some kind of contraption by which the separator could be pushed into tate barn by the tractor. The trac- tors were big and powerful but slow on the road. Now our thresher has a Diesel tractor that travels along the road almost as fast as a car. Not only that but he's here, and he's gone, without any extra worts or worry to the farmer -except paying time bill. And yet, although threshing machines seem to have reached time last stage in mobility and efficiency yet they have more conmpetitioe now then they ever did, The combine is cer- tainly giving therm a run for their money. More and more farmers are realizing how much a combine saves them in time and labor. Some farmers already have their own machines, others hire them, Which is the more economical way of harvesting is very much time $64 question, There is no denying the . fact that with the present shortage of farm help, a combine, followed by a baler, certainly solves many , problems -and no 'threshing meals to worry about) I£ farming gets much more mechanized farmers' wives will be able to pack up in summer time and go away for a holiday. That will be the day.! What do you say, friends -think we could take it? But here is an- other thought. If country women took a holdiday where would city folk go for their vacations? 11OMSCIIOOL LESSON by Rev. R. B. Warren, B.A., B.D. Peter, Who Became a Main of Pow- er Acts 4:8-20 Golden Text: Peter and the Apos- tles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. - Acta 5:29. Peter, a humble fisherman, be- came a disciple of jesus Christ, and finally an apostle. He was a leader, an extrovert, an energetic, impass- ioned, and sometimes impulsive, man, He was one of the three -Pe -- ter, James and John -• who were closest to Jesus in His earthly min- istry, He frequently spoke' for the group. He made the great confess- ion, "Thou art the Christ, the soar of the living God"'. But a little la- ter he reveals his lack of spiritual understanding by rebuking Jesus for taking time way of suffering. Jesus turned to him and said, "Get thee behind ane, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be mf amen." Matt. 16:23. At the mountain of transfiguration he didn't ' now what to say, but he spoke anyway. Mark 9:6. Brav- ely he leaped out of the boat and walked on the water to his Lord. Then looking at the waves, he sank. He denied his Lord, but repented. Though he was the first to preach to the Gentiles after Pentecost, he was slow to reeogmiize-the full free- dom from ceremonial law afforded by the Gospel, Paul wrote, "When Peter has come to Antioch, I with- stood him to the face, because he was to be blamed". Galatians 2:11. But Peter was a great man. On the day of Pentecost, when the promised gift of time Holy Spirit was received by the waiting dis- ciples, he gave the leading address. After Healing of the inan at the temple, and time preaching that fol- lowed, Peter and John were brought before tate Council, They were commanded "not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus," Their reply was not defiant, but it recognized the highest authority, "Whether f b ' e right tin the i h g m sight of g t God to hearken unto you amore than unto God, judge ye, For we cannot but speak the thins which we have seen and heard." Peter had become • a man of power. Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee Q. Is it ever permissible to use the knife to convey any kind of food to the mouth? A.
