'We monder if people ever considor the difficuit task of the local editor irboirrites the history of his constîtuents as they pass from thîss pliere of action. *, * * 1 We are safe in saying, tbat no county in this great country has con- tainied a higber ciass of citizenship, mien of greater moral irorth or more strict honor and integmity than has Durham and Ontario counties. These Men or their ancestors came chiefly from the Old Countries. We cannot bear btter testimony to tiieir mem- ory than to quote from a recent tri, ute paîd by a mani to one of bis neighb ors mhen ho said: Aý neighbor of mine died thýe other day. Ile bad been iii for a month mith pneumonia. fHo had reachied boyond the Scriptur- al span-mas 86; and so fine iras his phys-iquelIe mould bave lived an- other ton years but for tbis attack. Ho belonged to another goneration, yet iras modern, in mmnd, tools and methods. I nover knem a man of more courage, more hope, 'more love of justice or of country. His wife had pru.eded hum by six months, and, aftershe had gone, ho, too, iras ready to folloir. I am coffident that had she lived my 'oid friend would ho beliving today. Thon came tho tribute that appeal- ed to us most stmongly and makes this sketch irorth repeating, for most of the moen me have known more n wh-o lived close to Nature-,thoy ivere farmers. Ho says of his neighbor: Ho was a product of the farm, and honýr hoe loved his farm! Every dlay to himi mas a nir day of joy and of dlo- ing soniethin.g nelw; doing an 010 thn etter, if pos-sible.ý His farmJ iras not large, only' 75 acres, but it aff omded a comfortable living, educa- 'ted a daughter and tivo fine boys, and romains a model -for others to pattern ,after. It iras a fertile farmn, made so by bard work-clever, careful preservation of manume, drainage, crop rotation and a thoughtful balance of livo stock. It w;a.s a dlean farm; dlean in the home, in the fields. in the hearts of direllers. Tt iras a famuly respected and os- teemed 43y all; a farm keptedean of weeds and debris. E'ach year -ev'emy fonce rom iras gone ovor mith boe or scythe ,and every meed cut out. The fonce roirs irme as a velvet, carpet inl grass. And hoe loved it aIl! What man, irhat iroman, wbat famly of boys and girls woüuld not feell a distinct pride la baving- such a model homieste-ad? It mas genuine pride in the homo that made it sueh a delightful place in mhich to live and mork. la there any good roason why the greater nunzber of far-m homes could not ho similar to this one? Our author says his neighýbor died ln eal mealtb. Hoeiras not a ich man in money or moldly goods. Ahl h's life ho bad, contributed to his cbhurcb, to morthy causes and con- tributed to the homo if e of bis fam- ily. Money iras a means of do- ing things-that mas ahl it iras to him. Yet hoe died a rich man. Ho was rich inthe affections of his fam- ily, rich in the marm love and os- teemi of bis acquaintances, rich in th1e accumulations of honor, virtue and excample hoe bostomed on his co*m- munity. Alter al] these are the real riches, tlat count most, and,1 therefore, ho died rich. It is irhat a man is and what ho doos for the betterment of is felloirs and for bis comimunity that makes him of value to bis country. In our Êrminé period ire knem twvo sueb farmsas5 the one hereto-, fore mentioned and heiped to cut thegraini on bothof th ,em-one was lii Ontario Coulpty, thbe other in Durham and the ow.ners more hotb eonsjdomod excellent -farmors in those' days-about 60, years ago-n came fromi Scotland,, the other from Devon, England, and several of their clan are still regular readers of this great family journal. But me'll lot Our author fin)ish bis story and me mould have our readers, ponder moîl this part: Ho iras a product of the farm. Could any place but a farm develop a man lie this neighibor of mine? Possîbly; but no doubt there are others like hlm irbo groir up and live fil tomas,- and citios. The faim,, homever, bas somnething about it that develops boys and girls into real mon anJ momnea. Nothing lse can take its place. We may not accumulate dollars ard other poprty in such quantities on the farm as- offeréd by urban opportunities, but mwe livecom- fA o-al ndrcl;Ad-ironm Neither, does the Judge favor chïldren going out and stayn lt at showrs or amusements of aykn unless in company of, parents, or guardians and not thon very. often. Listening in to irbat are tormed popular radio concerts is a doubtful pastime for child'ren. Jazz and rag-1 time music is a positive evîl to them. In many casos the cbildren of the moul-to-do 'are nover taught to amuse themseives, and lifo inovitably tonds sooner or later to desperate ennui. A poor famnily miii often got more fun out of a fifty-cent toy, or a bome-made one, than a ricb child ii out of an automobile. Childron sbould ho trained to depend upon, themselves, to provide thoîn oma amusements, to play their Own gapies, to sing their omn songa, and generally to dopendupon their own efforts. Yet movios, radios, phono- graiphs, and such like ail tend amay from th's, and make the cbild and the adult depend for their ontertain- ment chiefiy, or mholly, upon otbers. This meanis imisery irben by an chance the child ia left to depend up- on himself or herself. Far botter togive children a chance to develop initiative. We saw' a progrom put on by the cbildron at the Frosb. Air Camp at Burks' Beach, each group prosenting an original stunt and they more very amusing. Fathers of boysirbo had to depend on Îheir own eff orts, industry and in- genuity irben young have often been bitterly disappointed ovor the belp- lesýsness and lack, of initiative under difficuit circumastances and mondered mhy they more so boîpless. Ho for- got perbaps tl'at ho _,himiself iras bornj poor and had to dig or dlie; and cariy in li' e 'ho learned to ho self-reliant, persistent, and n'ot afraid of toil., Hoe bas brought up bis býoy mithout jelot ting him knom irbat bardship mneant; he bas given him every chance to mnake a mnan of bîmself mîthout tho .spur of nocessity; ho bas nover aI- lowed the ladI to feel that ho must mork, out . bis omn salvation; and thon ho marvoîs that the boy bas not turned out to ho as ciever as ho him- self dîd. The chiid wbicb nover leamas to do bard and disagrecable things, and to do tbem, promptly and mcli, lacks 4ust tbat miuch of fitnoss for the great mork, of life. There are more poor children than rich ones. Lot us thank God for it, for uintil the rich learn to train thejir chiiýdren to toil cheerfully, and to endure hardship bravely, the bulk of the morid's mork mli naturally fali upon the children of the poor, and this means to the momid comfort and încreased meaith, and to the toilers, beaîtb,>stmongth, satisfaction, and the joy of creation. We repoat thýat it has often proved a hlessing to a boy that bis parents more poor. 18,000 MEN WANTED TO HAR- VEST WESTERN CANADA'S CROFS Travel By The Fastest R>aute Th& speciai Haryesters' trains of the Canadian Nafona-l Railmnys ' from ail Ontario points as advertised miii make the fastest time to Win- nipeg, operating< via the nom Long- lac cut-off, the shotest route ho- tireen Eastern and Western Canada.
