to the hospital for sick children for further treat ment the doctors said his chest condition had not completely clear ed and could not toe dealt with sat isfactorily at home so now i sup pose dave w ill rent tin under med ical care until hi has completely recovered the poor little chap did not take very kindly to the idea of going into hospital again but before his mother left the building he was sitting up in his cot playing quite happily j suppose once lie settled down he would bo ajl right es pecially as there are plenty of other children for jiim ki plav with of course his parents ire quite wo ried about him ind so ore we but we know he is having the best of care and at the moment there u no moie that anyl of ms dan do for him wo still seem to be having all kinds of queer weather dont we last week sunshine one day out of seven and this evening a thun derstorm compared with some places we do well if wc get away witfli minor inconveniences the day i went to toronto i was really caught mapping got a ride down and wore a lightweight top coot over my suit and i nearly froze after leaving the car i stayed over night at dees place ind next morning she lent me a heavy coat for the rest of my visit and to- come home in so there was j walking around toronto in borrowed clothes a bright green coat vivid red and blue silk scanf and n black hat was a choice color combination believe me but it was better than being cold anyywny partner hasnt been liking the wet weather at all he has been putting up a new fence in the back lane and of course he would get one or two pestholes dug und then it would rain again however i believe he finally finished the joto and has since started digging the garden hardly a day passes but what i see him somewhere around with ihis rubbertired al uminum wheelbarrow shortly before we sold the ctfws the old barrow steel pan on a wooden frame fell to pieces which was just as well as partner had reached the stage where he found it too heavy to

weight it was tlhe best buy he ever made that barrow is used in dozens of f ways all my wastepaper and magazines were carted from the house to the car in the barrow when i potted my geranium slips along came partner with a load of good soil collections of rubbish from the house and woodshed ready for a bonfire are transported the same way and in the hot weather when the garden needed moisture partner filled the barrow with water to let it get sunwarm ed before toeing used on the garden ait night a very versatile piece of equip ment that barrow and easily washed when necessary the rea son i have told you about it is this the other day i was on a farm where the owner is a man past 70 he was cleaning out the hen pen and using a heavy steel- pan barrow it took all his strength i am sure to push thatgborrow what needless waste of energy so if there is an elderly man doing the chores on your farm wouldnt it he i good idea if the women of the family paid a little attention to the equipment he is using for the job christmas is coming father might be overjoyed with an alum inum wheelbarrow from 6anta claus one thing is certain as long as the old one hangs together he will never buy one for himself he has become so used to pushing a heavy barrow he doejnt realize how much strength and energy goes into that ordinary everyday chore bob fixd up our old barrow and took it down to hi place he has plenty of use for it as half his garden lot is a conglomeration of rocks and stones the remainder at the g must be marvellous soil as it grows the moot wonderful flowers fruits and
