And to our mind, of even greater importance is bis selection as a re- presentative of the Canadian Legion to at- tend the International Convention of War Veterans ini Berlin following the Corona- tion. It is liard to mnake sotte people believe it, but it is nevertbeless truie. that tlhe mai who foughit ini the front uines, hates; war more than ailYoîe else. Col.

Tribute to a Rural Mail Carrier If there is anv hranch of the Federal Ciývil Service which is tunderpaid it is the Rural Mail Carriers. This isn't the first time we have nmade this statement or made a plea iitb tbe Postmaster Geîieral to give these loyal and devoted all-weatber, out- door public servants an bonest-to-goodiiess living( wag-e which they bave neyer liad. These thouiglts were recalled to mmnd as we read the obituary and well merited tributes from our varions correspondents about tbe late W. J. Hockin wbo carried bis Majesty's Mail for the past fifteen years froin New- castle to Orono. As further proof of the wbole-liearted appreciation of the people servetl by this rural mail carrier we quote from our Starkville correspondent wlîicb reads: ,,W\e, the' people on the Orrno Mail Route, do deeply syýmpathize with the familv of the late XVili Hockin of Newcastle. MNr. Hckin was Mail Carrier on this Orolla Route for 15 y-ears and wvas a real gentle- mlan. He wvas honest, courîcou, obliging, kind and faiîhful ; seldom if ever made anv mjistakcs with the delivery of tîhe mail. He wvas <ependable in evcry wav. He could not bac heaten and wc will not likcly get so faiîlîful a mail carrier or one his equtal. \Ve are late in offering our bouquets of praise t0 our lovcd public mail carrier. I used te often think the members of this rouie should hold a Picnic or something in honour of hlm, but alas, alas. it w~as left tilI tee late.

The Art ofSimplification By Scribe G The besi way ta give a child a good stant in life, is ta give it a simple naine. Fancy naines like Eihelberi, Rudolph, St. Francis, etc., are handicaps. Call a boy George, Alexander, or Rover. Af ter you geV a child satisfac- iorily named, start ta inculcate the importance of simplification ...such advice is admirable in tbeory. and priceless in practice. Usuallythe more a man knows, the more be simplifies. One way bo tel whether a young fellow is the rnakings of a good man, is to observe how cjuickly he gets a grasp of the simplicity of a th.ing. Every problei . . .every pro- Position ... no minatter bow con plicated it seemis . .. bas anin side V-o it. The keen intellect strips off the busk . . . discardsI the shel... and appropriates the kernel. A man who&se mid works in ibis way is lUkely Vo accoxnpli&h aone of the greatest ar-ts af all - nanely: how Vo live the simple life in a grand way. Hubbard described tibishf e in prose tbat is really poeta-y "To love the plain homely comînon things of eaitb ..0f these ta sing . . . ta inake the f amiliar beautiful, and the comanonplace enchanting . . . ta cause each bush Vo burn with the atuai presence of God." In calling forth an example of a great mani wbo was a master of simplification, we turn Vo Earl Grey . ..

Whrile he is of the lasi decade . .. a study of bis 111e i., none the less a if e of to- day or tontorrow. We oommend it in ail seriousness toa ayone strivmng for the Art of Simplifi- cation. A kitten is mild andi innocent but it always grows up ta lac a cat. Many a fellow is afraid ta pro- pose Vo a girl for fear she xmgbt say yes.
