governments and the municipalities a very in teresting programme if workable the past week we have had an experience which has been the experience of others- we understand and it brfngi out the point will those seeking relief go to the farms while the present reliejf is available do the biggest noises actually want to work in response to an advertisement for a boy who was willing to work for his board and clothes we received inquiry from a hajf dozen or more farmers most of the farmers r v i t r j- b 5tat couple of days last week were willing to go farther and pay a reasonable wage if the boy was willing to work and make good we heardpf a local man who offered to bunch of the unemployed about town a job on farms at fifteen dollars per month and board only ti be turned down with the answer that tfiey would not go to the farm true there is plenty in tjjis land of canada for all to eat commodity prices for the necessities of life are so reasonable that the farmer has little return m money for the article he sells we have found any amount of farmers grilling to share from the stock of provisions they have raised andv help feed the needy but we have too often found the supposedly needy unwilling to make any effort to in turn work for their living in brantford twentyfive men came back from the relief camps of northern ontario dissatisfied every one of them were known in that city as

the relief depot in brampton a notice in the town clerks office requests unemployed who are willing to work on farms to register and so far very few have registered now is the time for the weeding out process in winter months work is not as available as now the farmers have every prospect of a bountiful harvest to gainer and they need assistance to every man should be given the opportunity for an honest exist ence hy honest effort just why those willing to work should garner the harvest and feed the drones cannot be understood the busy bee has its own way of dealing with the drones in the hive its methods may be a trifle severe in application to human nature but it would appear that a modification of this example of the busy bee was due in the hive of industry hundreds of workers are making sacri fices many times greater than hundreds of drones without a word of complaint it is regrettable that the workers should suffer any reflection from those unwilling to work the idleness and shiftlessness of some individuals in every community is going to make of them an unenviable example the sym pathy story is getting threadbare the bluff is about to be called and it will be thewise

enthusiasm sometimes has painful re suits i have been digging again this time a border about twenty jeet long and five feet wide at its widest point dug to the hot sun while partner was clipping edges a job at which i am no good at all every once in a while port ner would tell me to stop or that i was crazy at somethin lik that but i kept on diggjbag th sun got hotter and hotter and still t went on digging did feel a trifle warm but i didnt mind whdn i saw how nicely i was progressing with my work and then on the second day the border was done i turned the last spadeful and then i began to think about myself and realized i was tired dirty and hot but after retiring to the house for necessary ablutions i was soon coo a re t-teast- foratimer but alasjl forgot the effect of cold water on unburnj arms and neck and now well i shall not have the chance to forgetlt for the net few days worse yejt partner has ijn excellent opportun lty of baying i told you so but come to think of it he didnt elme sovtte only told me to quit never a word about sunburn of course i mlghthave known without being told but somehow one never does realize these things until the knowledge is driven painfully home this afternoon we went to town there were nice looking berries in the stores i asked the price and then came home and picked wild ones i not very good trade perhaps and it maybe theres a bit of scotch in my makeup for it certainly goes against the grain to buy what can be picked in the bush tor nothing to buy what one mlghtpick savors of wanton waste and then see how much pleasure there is in actually picking the fruit you get a nice walk over hard knobbley ground your fingers take on a beautiful carmine hue there may come a bit of a kink in your back and you develop a thirst thats intense making

healthily tired of course you can subside into the nearest chair or on to the lawn and carefully go over the berries you have been at such pains to pick as you hull them and pick grass and insects out from among them you begin to wonder where all the lovely big ones are that you picked with such joyl at last the berres find a place on the tea table and you dole them out carefully surreptitiously keeping back a jtery small di for yourself wh you try to hide behind the teapomrfngtiara phnalla you have to do this in case there should not be enough to go round everyone sayshow lovely the berries are such a delicious flavor qt course they would all they have to do is eat them we have a man working for us now probably until after haying and he tells me that mint is a splendid thing to keep away mosquitoes and how do you use it i inquired just anywhere on your clothing was the answer really now thats quite an ideai i am beginning to see some sense in the new vogue for mesh stockings and gloves and crochet berets etc etc with mesh apparel we can stick lttle sprigs of mint on arms and ankles head and chest we might even form an antlmosqulto league and if it became popular an executive might be formed to run the thing and one more opportunity afford ed to employ high salaried officials well i have sprung that idea so now i hope all my friends and neighbors are prepared to see me deckedont in mint sprigs lke an indian in feathers and full war paint we shipped another pair of veal calves todajr tomorrow we shall know the worst the pain of parting was some- what mitigated by our excitement in watching a windmill aeroplane which came flying low over the house just after the calves had gone it was the queerest looking jhlng with one small pair of wings and the top like a huge

to me i like to cull little bits from the papers and magazines that j readwhere is a little bit i got out of the canadian countryman this week were never broke nor quite bereft as long as we have courage left dont you think that is a fine little piece i do i love to come across anything like that it is just that kind of sentiment that helped to win the war and brought our pioneer forefathers

railway system the lack of watches in soviet pockets is partially blamed by the transport union for recent railway disasters says a message from moscow wrecks occur trains are late and the transportation system suffers from lack of coordina tion when employees cannot determine whether they are operating their trains according to the timetable the com missariat of transport tried the experi ment of issuing watches to men as they went onduty and havlngthem turned in at the close of work so they would be available for the next shift this proved unsatisfactory chiefl because the
