about acton for years this removal of many stately trees hds been in progress to make way for changing conditions until now acton has reached a point where no more of these beautiful maples can be sacrificed without marring the beauty of this community the ice storm oiiast winter created much havoc among the trees that will leave many of them stripped of large branches id thvcblirse of years many of these trees do not survive and plenty of them are lost to actons streets from natural causes for many years there has been little attempt on the part of citizens to plaint put new trees along the boulevards possibly it has not been encouraged or permitted there has been much ruthless butchering in the past among the trees of actons boulevards acton cannot well afford to allow any further inroads right now when the streets are becoming beautiful with the budding foliage let us all make a resolve that the removal of any tree will be an absolute necessity before we grant expression to a personal whim that may mean the obliterating of a tree that was planted by our forefathers and which we cannot replace in our life time chronicles oi ginger farm written specially for the free freaa

your associates to be afraid to tell your opinions to take it for granted that people will resent your not thinking just as they do is an inexcusable presumption those whose friendship is worth having want associates who are something more than echoes of course there is a difference in the way you express your opinions some people do it as if there could be no question but that they are right and everybody else wrong others seem to regard an opinion as a chip on the shoulder hey announce their own as though it were a challenge to a fight still others give their opinions as though they were ashamed of them and humbly hope that no one will think the worse of them for owing up to them do not be afraid to express your opinions but be careful not to express them in such a way as to lead your listeners to undervalue both them and you give a general idea of c in relation to crops throughout the province of ontario the condition of fall wheat is reported as being exceptionally good ter killing has been very small only amounting to 4 per cent reports from western ontario in- djcate that prospects for fall wheat have seldom look ed better than this year some fields of alfalfa on low land have heaved badly arid are being plowed up hay and clover has suffered considerable damage and it is estimated that 132 per cent of the acreage has been winter killed and the condition is 868 per cent of the long time average as compared with 95 per jysnt last year and 91 per cent in 1930 cold winter weather has delayed spring seeding particularly in eastern and central ontario in eastern ontario spring seeding will be three weeks toamonth later than last year for the- wfiole pro vince only 36 per cent of the seeding of spring grains is completed toaprils as compared with 62 per cent a year ago growth is very retarded and some farmers have reported- a scarcity of live stock feeding owing to the very slow growth of pastures time to prepare throughout the winter months acton has carried on its relief work by the acton relief committee now when it would seem that much of the work of this committee was over we see it making plans to- provide for times of stress which may beahead and which none can say are not ahead their example in offering to provide seeds for gardens and the pro curing of winter eatables should be emulated by all there is no reason to believe that a similar expendi ture can be made by governments and municipalities such as was carried on the past year funds of these bodies- are limited and if all are to secure a suf ficiency all must make a reasonable effort to be provident in due season possibly the lessons of the past year have been severe but now is the time to prepare for a lessening of their severity on another occasion there are other-ways-in-which- time- that was given to leisure may ofinecessity have tobe devoted to more useful occupations perhaps a supply of fuel could besecured during the summer months more advantageously opportunities present themselves and while they may not be as lucrative as in former times it is policy to grasp them and make provision for the winter months that in this country invariably come fa

achieved a notable accomplishment has been with his wife made to suffer the most intense agony that could befall any individual personal suffering can mean little to the mental agony that a little child one of your own flesh and blood was made the instrument to extract money those who have followed the gang methods that have been permitted to grow up in the republic to the south have wondered how long it would be before such a calamity would bestir the people to stamp out the evil the lindbergh babe has not been the first victim but it has possibly been the most cruel act in its cunning andtheartless murdering of an innocent babe all the world is watching the united states at the moment to see just how it will handle the situation the american dollar may be above par in many

the sun shone this afternoon it really did and was ever sun moie welcome what a week dull sky dull days dull house dull work dull meals luicl a dead ly dull family and then the sun shone the age of miracles is riot past the sky was still oloudy but the clouds were soft and billowy the house put on a different atmosphere work suddenly seemed attractive meals were appetizing and every member of the household seemed imbued with hope inspiration and remarkable energy all that as a result of a little sunshine how gorgeous it was to peek here and there among the flower beds and find little seedlings sprouting away in a corner a dandelion blooming and close to it a canary taking a sun bath the chestnuts are in leaf and the fall wheat is the greenest thing i ever saw housewives who persevered with their cleaning this week must have been either crazy or absolutely sunerwomen x was content to use what little energy i had on certain unpleasant jobs which i should never bring myself to do in fin weather i scoured out little use1 cup boards which the mice had used as a boarding house all winter brightened smokeblackened pots and pans and last but not least gave the ihjui oil stove its annual clean praying fervently the while that none might come to visit while my hands and face were still generously smeared with oil dust and soot how ever the worst is over and the stove- is now ready for business and hot weather another thing i did this week was set an incubator it is quite an experiment as i have never run one before and i may never do it again depends on the result of this first trial you will hardly believe it but so far we have not got a chicken on the place there may be a few tomorrow if the hens dont tramp them or otherwise put them out of busi ness it is so funny i have been selling setting eggs all over the dlstrct and everyone says how well they hatch and how strong the chickens are and here are we for weeks and weeks with never so much as a single clucking hen but now nearly every biddy on the place seems to have suddenly acquired strong maternal instincts and today i have no less than twentythree hens wanting to sit it took partner and i the best part of a day to fix up a place for them and provide them with boxes we usegrange boxes knock them to nieces and temakc them built a stand along the walls of the pen and there we set the boxes all in a row as many as thestand will hold at night in go the broodies with i f eed and water where- they can help them selves and after that i leave them alone to choose their own nest sometimes it takes themqulte a while to settle down but once they are settled they are hardly any trouble at all the cafeteria system hnr ttou ever stop tototnk by edison b walter shawnee oakla- homa george o handyt

biddy hatched out every chick en another one trampled to death each little chick as it hatched and the be haviour of the third hen was just falr when the chicks are first hatched i like to have them near the back of the house when i can watch them and this year there was need for extra caution as there was jlmus to consider last year jimu was only a wee kitten so there was every possibility that he may have for gotten that chickens are chickens and might look upon them as another species of bird and an edible jne at that to prevent any such catastrophe i put some chickens in a basket and placed them on the kitchen floor at the first nhcep jlmus was on the run i let him get near the basket and then i started to scold but i did not move either the cat or chickens presently jmus came closer smelt and smelt at the chickens backed up came back and smelt them again then i put one little chick on the floor in front of him scolding all the time jlmus seemed to understand hls curiosity was aatisfled and his educa- tlrtn m now i can bring ch t into the house any time and he takes no notee of them at all and outside he walks by the coop as though it were not there the orioles are back
