Profitable Chore If mowing the lawn is a chore, on a poultry farm at least it can be a profitable one, say the Farm Journal. Tom turkeys at the Penn- sylvania Experiment Station gained an extra 1.4 pounds when fed lawn clippings, and hens gained nearly half a pound extra. The clippings had as much protein in them as skim-milk .When dried clippings, soaked in water, were fed to breed- er hens hatchability of fertile eggs v,'ent up 6 per cent. r.mhDim CFP'S T»?A.'N FOR D0MJN)!ON .SKATF.NG CHAMPIONSHIPS MRK UGHTNESTG ff^ HELEN TOPPING MILLER ~ CHAPTER XVI The car bounced and skidded over ruts, and in places tlie road was so narrow that bushes rasped at fenders and the top. They made inquiry, and were re- garded with half-hostile suspicion by a lanky man in faded dunga- rees. "What you want to see Mag- gie fur?" he demanded harshly. "We're from the government," lied Gary cheerfully. "We might have some money for her. Which is her house?" "Go down the road about a mile, and you can't miss it. It's got a chimney made out of oil cans." They found the place at last. * * * ".\nA there's Maggie," Gary said, as they slowed in the sand out- side a leaning, two-wire fence. "She has been to town, all right. She bought herself a new grein calico dress. You wait here, and I'll talk to her." He g6t down and carefully iintastened the gate. The woman in the yard advanced toward him suspiciously, a broom in her hand. She was a narrow-faced creature with a cold blue eye. "Howdy," s!ie said, sullenly. "Is your name Maggie Wil- liams?" Gary asked politely. "Yessir. What you want?" "I'm from Mr. Ellis' office," Gary prevaricated glibly, keeping a bland smile. "Mr. Ellis sent me out here with a paper for you to sign â€" you and your son." The woman did not answer. In- stead she tu-ned and raised a whoop, so ear piercig that Gary jumped. "Purdy! Come h'yere!" * * ♦ From the door of the Iiouse a youth appeared, also shoeless and, like Maggie, attired in new rai- ment â€" a stiff pair of blue overalls. "How do you do , Purdy," Gary said. "I'm from your lawyer's of- fice . . ." Purdy glared, kept his hands in his pockets. "Me and Ma â€" we ain't .signin' nothin'," he announced bel- ligerently. "Ellis told us not to." "And he told us not to talk to nobody but him," added Maggie, with vicious emphasis. "Ellis is in court today," Gary persisted, using all his best wiles "But the people you are suing ^re trying to prove that you didn't sign the papers that Ellis has. So I came down to get a duplicate of your signature's, on his card." "Ellis knows I can't write â€" nor Purdy neither" snapped Maggie. "Wc made our mark to them pa< pcrs, and he knows it. Ellis didn't send you, young feller â€" it was that skunk, Harvey Mason." She made a menacing advance with the broom, followed him to the gate and there, suddenly, she seemed to spring two feet iii air and, making a dive toward the car, she uttered an eerie screech. Si- multaneously, old Hughey, who had wakened, gave one look and a yell of horror. "Git her away from nic! She'll kill me! She done tried it a couple of times!" "You know tliis woman. Hugh?" Gary shouted. "Know her?" squeaked Hngliey.

Harvey Mason was there, grinning. Gary held tight to old Hughey Fothergill's arm. Gary had bought him a brilliant blue shirt and the most brillian pair of red suspenders to be found in the town, but the sit^spenders still supporte( old Hughey's ancient and lanky pants. He had refused to go farther in the work of modernization, after his hair waj trimmed and his beard tamed somewhat. Hobson did the talking. "Vou weren't ciuitc slick enough, Ellis," he said blandly. "Y'ou can take your case against Mason into court . if you want to â€" but when you do, Hughey Fothergill here, will go into court and swear that MaK^ie Williams is still his legal wife. He married her in 1917; he was never divorced from licr. Here's a photo- static copy of the marriage r ord. And this Ijoy, Purdy Williams, whom you claim to represent, was born in wedlock, no matter whose son he may be â€" in law he's Hughey Fotliergill's son, and consei|ucnlly can have no legal claim whatever to any estate left by Elihu Plum- mer. We're giving you till nine o'clock tomorrow morning and get this injunction removed from Ma- son's drilling operations." They laughed all the way home. Harvey went sound asleep at din- ner. Adelaide came around tlie ta> ble and squeezed Gary's hand. "Oh, Gary â€" wc did it! .Vnd it was such fun!" Gary got up impulsively, and put his arm around her. He kissed her swiftly on the forehead. .'\nd then he walked away, quickly, his lace very red and confus-ed. He lay awake a long time that night, won- dering if she were furious. The next morning they sat together on the tool box and watched the slobber- ing of the cuttings into the slush pit. "It looks lovely, doesn't it?" Sighed .\delaide. Then she looked off to-.vard the horizon and flushed a little. "Gary â€" " she began. Gary jerked ".Vbout last night," I'll try to remember who I am â€" and who you are . . ." "And who am I?" she demanded furioi'sly. "I'm a rancher's daugh- ter . . ." Gary had lunch with the drill crew and at dusk reluctantly started tow'ard the house, wisliing him- self far, far awa;. A car was pa ked in the drive and he took himself upstairs the back way, deciding that if there was company for supper he would ask Maria for something on a tray. He was splashing in the shower when someone tapped at his door. * * * He wrapped himself in a bath- robe and opened the door a crack. Mona Lee stood there, looking wor- ried. "Gary, come down as soon as you're dressed . . . Gary, Oliver's here â€" and Grace." "Gosh â€" what now?" Gary thought, as he squirmed into a shirt and jerked a necktie through his collar. Ho smacked his hair flat and went down quickly. The Mason family were all sitting in the living room looking solemn.

CHieMElES oi GiNGEB FARM • By Gwendoline P Clarke What part of tlie day do you like best? Have you ever thought about it? Take tomorrow for instance, what do you look forward to most? ..ow don't try to tell nie it is gel- ting up in the morning because 1 won't believe you â€" not in winter time anyway. Some uiolhers will probably .say the happiest tiiiit'of the day is when the kiddies come rushing in from school. I can believe that. But then there are other women who will admit they breathe a sigh of relief when the last of the youngsters has disappeared witli his books and iiis Uiiicli l)u.\. They think that is their happiest time â€" when tliey are free to scrub and clean, bake and mend to their heart's content. But mo- thers, you know you only think it because you are reasonably ^ure that along around five o'clock these same youngsters will come whistl- « ing up the lane that leads to home and yon. If you were not sure of that, tliose hours of quietness would be ahnosl more than you could bear, wouldn't they? * » » • I expeit too, some folk will say their liai'piest time comes with the evening hours.

Planning Better Meals .'\iin to serve satisfying, w''.- halanccd meals, using Canada';* I'ood Rules as a guide. Plans meals for at least two or three days in advance . . a vvee< is even better Think in terms of the five food groups rather than of in dividual foods so that if some are not available you can substitute other.s from the same .^roup. .Avoid monotony in your tubals by varying the ways you cook and serve food Follow up-to-date cook- ing techniques for good-tasting, at- tractive-looking meals . . . usually a well-bananced meal is an appe- tizing one. Plan meals' which can be easily prepared with the help available. I'ancy foods usually take too iiinch time ill preparation. Contrast Needed Vary colour, texture and tem- perature of foods in the meal. Col- our attracts the eye and adds in- terest to the meal .\void clash '? of colour . . . for example do not serve beets, tomatoes and radishes together. Texture contrast bi- tween soft and crisp foods often means the difference between i mediocre and superb meal. Serve hot foods hot; cold foods cold. ( rcatc contrast in the meal by •nferspersing cold dishes with i iiot one or by serving something loUI, in tlie way of salad or des- sert, in a meal otherwi.sre coniposci of hot dislu'S.

Golden Text The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. â€" Psalm l>(,: 3. Moses' Warning -Moses had warned the Children of Israel against the wickedness of Hgypt. .\ny found guilty of the idolatrous rights of the heathen ">liall surely be put to death." i'he Feast of the Passover was to be celebrated on the 14th or the 15th day of the first month, which was .\pril. It commemorated Isra- el's deliverance out of ligypt. Passover and Pentecost The I'east of Pentecost took place when the reaping of the corn harvest was over. The feast day was a day of pleasant rest after toil, of rejoicing, because God had filled tlieir barns once more. Two loaves made of flour from the new wheat were offered by God's command, as the first fruits of the harvest. These were offered in Thanksgiving to < lod for his goodness. Festival of the New 'iTear The Festival of the New Vear was celebrated with appropriate offerings and the sound of many trumpets. .\s the planting and sow- ing season opened, the people heard the trumpets calling to dili- gence and devotion at the same time proclaiming their loyally to the Lord. Whilst on all qther festivals ser- vile work only was forbidden, and work connected with the prepara- tion of necessary food was permit- ted, the Sabbath Day and the Day of .Atonement were the only days on which the Israelites were pro- hibited to engage in any work whatsover. On -this day .Varon made an atonement for them be- fore the Lord. Feast of the Tabernacle The Feast of the Tabernacles came in the early autumn when the harvests were gathered in. It was therefore also called the Feast of Ingathcrin.g. It was a time for solemn and sacred rest from labor. It was a time of ThanhsKivin.i,' and rejoicing. It w-as an act of worship, being a genuine feast unto Jehovah who wants us to rest as well as to work.
