when young people do outstanding work in the positions they occupy the onlooker is interested to know the reason sometimes it is ambition the young fellow determined to rise to the top knows he must make his mark from the start sometimes although rarely it is apprehension there are young people filling their positions adequately because they have a dread of losing their jobs sometimes it is competition there are workers who will not be surpassed by a fellowworker no matter how much it costs some of these reasons are better than others but the best of all is this that young people hn th best work of w they are capable because they cannot retain their selfrespect and du any thing else snch young people may have their own am- pitions they may have pride in doing as well as anotherbutthese arelnotjtheir dominating motives the real reason for their superior work is that their consciences will not let them be satisfied with giving secondrate service the lindbergh tragedy and the handling of the case by the american police and officials has been a sorry affair and rather a poor example to instil a respect for law and order in the republic at the south the average

be helped by bemoaning the fact of its- it would seem a very inopportune time for the countyl councillors to arrange an increase in salaries true a new act now enables the councillors to collect mileage only in one direction but the increase from four dollars to six dollars per session will more than compensate for the loss in mileage and will raise the total amount payable by the taxpayers for- councillors salaries and allowances if an estimate of the difference were made it in all probability would reveal that the amount is not considerable but the fact is that it is an increase when other com- modities and wages are otlthe decrease or at least stationary it will take a considerable amount of u explaining by county councillors to voters and it is questionable if the amount will be worth the explain ing that will be required a lower county rate to the municipalities would be the finest bit of antipain dope but it is doubtful if such magic can be produc ed by the couqty representatives t farmeis organizing the activity in farmers organization work and the plans for a delegation to ottawa fo place before the government the requirements of jpanadas basic industry give the impression that the agriculturists are making an earnest study of a way out of their present difficulties whether the government can be of any more assistance to this problem than it has been to the unemployment issue remains to be seen it appears that the first move is always to look to governments for help and leadership it is fully realized that a return of normal conditions cannot be expected until a better price is secured for the products of the farm the need for every class to study the conditions that confront that particular activity has always been the farmers former organization possibly branched out rather too wide- ly in the political and merchandising fields but un- doubtedly the mistakes of the former organization will be remembered in the present plans and a closer study will be made of farming problems which are plenty at any time everyone will encourage and welcome this renewed organization activity of farm- era t co and work togethe f t c g aruitem

all this explanation in the hope that perhaps someone better informed than i on the subject might possibly toe able to enlighten me as to what species of moth it was i have shown it to all kinds of people some whom i knew would be interested and some whom i was equally sure toad no more love for the beautiful than- a cat yet one and all were driven toexclaim when they saw the wondrous beauty of my winged discovery it was when i was going down for the mall that i found my moth and then in the mail among other papers that came that morning was macleans magazine and in it 1 came across a poem called hard times the first verse of which fan thus you wouldnt think that poverty could teach you anything that drought and wind and empty fields could make a fellow sing but i have learned that life

to unloose a whole lot of thoughts and feelings that you want to give expression to and cant what a pity we cant realize the truth ofitmore fully and appreciate it there are some things that even depression cannot take away from us the twentyfour hours of each wonderful day birds and flowers and trees the loyalty and friendship of our fellowmen the engaging trustfulness of little children and the love of god it is a comforting thought that in these days of deprivation there is yet so much wth which weneednot part we had another pleasant experrencq this week in a visit to a nearby nursery it was a large nursery ownfd by a man who loved his work he didnt tell us so but it was obvious in his every ges ture the care with which he handled growing things the inflection in his voice as he described them and the thoughtfulness he showed for the little birds that nested in his greenhouses he told us of one little songsparrow that had come back every spring for the last twenty years and the care he took to protect ltstiest humming birds flitted in and out so frequently that he said tliey hardly noticed them then he showed us a robins nest built hn a flower pot right on a level with his head and in a spot where he and his men were most frequently working in the nest there were two eggs and one ittle fledgling and further down the greenhouse mother robin was scolding tremendously at strangers daring to go near her nest the children were so interested in everything they saw it was worth the trip if only as a means of education we had a lovely drive home through sunlight roads where bluebirds and bob- ollnks flew hither and thither on the fonces and cows here and there munch ed their way contentedly along the road side the one thing we saw which was not so good was an automobile accident or rather we saw the result of it after thaf we drove the optimist even more carefully an i am glad to say it carrjed us safely and triumphantly home once more been opened in-

left now was to tell the public about it he wisely decided that the quickest and cheapest way to do this was by means of the newspaper the result was so gratifying that he continued to use the newspapers as his chief adver tising vehicle from that day he strove always to glve the public the finest quality tea he could at the price and then advertise it for all he was worth his achievment is
