Durham, July 1. Vagabond Farmer In The Maritimes (By Alex. Sim) Truro, Nova Scotia At Toronto I abandoned the idea of using the family car in favour of hitch-hicking. I should have explain- ed that last week, but did not have space. Now hitch-hiking, my friends, is a gentle art. You dress carefully, but not gaudily, for you must a.ssure motorists that you are not a hobo, and at the same time, not wealthy. You wiggle your thumb in the general dir. rection of the desired destination. If you are lucky, someone picks you up. If not, you walk.

"Why nine miles is nothing", he said, "we have men around here who run ten!" The motorist is running a chance. ] may rob him. I am running a chance, he may hit a telegraph pole. He may be going 500 yards or 500 miles. One motorist would have taken me to Ore- gon. Hitch-hiking is cheaper than taking your own car.
