RAISE THEM ON A FARM What place of abode can compete with the Canadian farm or small town as a home for rearing children ? Parents of largo families especially will find the open country the ideal place for bringing up children. First, what is more health-giving than the pure country air Then, consider the lessons learned from watching nature in her various moods, often battling the elements in an effort to gain the right to exist. Then, too, the near- ness to animal life teaches one a new depth of understanding. Farm children learn early the val- ue of work. They learn that certain tasks must be performed before pleas- ures are indulged in. For boys, there is less tendency to gang up than there is in the city. If those boys who do not live on farms could spend a month every summer helping on some farm, we are sure the result would be most gratifying. EDITORIAL NOTES The paving program commenced last year by the Department of High- ways has been reduced considerably this year and many sections prepared for paving last summer are left as they were last fall. Some of our ex- changes claim there should be an el- ection every year and some of the roads would then be finished. • • • This week the schools of the prov- ince have finished their work and the pupils are overjoyed with the pros- pect of a two month holiday. Many who liave tried the examinations will be delighted at having passed to an- other class or been successful in all their subjects, while others will have the regret that they might have done better if more study and thought had ocen given to their lessons. The mistakes made this year should be corrected next term. A schoolmaster was giving back to his class some examination papers he had been marking. '•Does any boy want to ask any questions?" he inquired. "Yes, sir," replied a boy. "I can't read what you have written at the bottom of my paper." The master glanced at the paper and said "I have written: 'You must write more clearly'." WELL THOUGHT OUT Teacher; "If you were to have an- other eye where would you like it to be " "On my finger end," replied one of the boys. '•Why?" asked the teacher. "So that I could stick it through j the fence and see the football match.", Junior Farmers Hold Judging Competition The judging competition for thp Junior Farmers of Grey County was held in Harrison's Park, Owen Sound, on Friday, June 24th, with thirty-one boys taking part.

The neighbors and friends of Mr. Jas. Lockhart of Clinton, formerly of Victoria Comers, were very sorry to learn that he had received very ser- ious injuries last Wednesday while shingling his barn. Somehow Mr. Lockhart, who is sixty-nine years of age, fell from the bam sustaining head and chest injuries and many bruises. He is in Goderich General Hospital and when last heard from he had not been able to have an x-ray taken but was seeming to improve. Mr. Lockhart lived at Victoria Com- ers for over sixty years, moving to Clinton only seven years ago. CEYLON Mr. and Mrs. G. D. Wight of To- ronto spent the week end with the latter's sister, Mrs. J.

KENNEDY PHONE 37 WE DELIVER The story of a soldier reading the Bible from a pack of playing cards follows: A soldier is said to have gone to church without his Bible. He was observed toying with a deck of play- ing cards, 'and when arrested describ- ed each card to the magistrate by il- lusion to Biblical characters, explain- ing the cards served as a Bible as follows : Ace, there is only •ne God; deuce. Father and Son; three. Trinity; four, the Evangelists; five, the Wise Vir- gins; six, heaven and earth made in six days; seven. He rested on the seventh day; eight, the eight right- eous persons saved during the flood; nine, the nine lepers cleansed by the Saviour; ten, the Commandments; king, God of Heaven; queen, Queen of Sheba who visited Solomon. ''And what is the knave?" asked the mag- istrate. The pri.soner answered, "the greatest knave I know is the police- man who brought me here." "He may not be the biggest knave" commented the magistrate, "but he is the biggest fool." "There are fif- ty-two cards," continued the soldier, ••the number of weeks in the year; there are twelve picture cards, the number of months; four suits for the seasons; thirteen cards to the suit, the number of weeks in the quaj-ter; so you see the cards are like a Bible and an almanac. Started As Juror A farmer who lives near Ilderton m Middlesex County will have some- thing about which to talk when he gets home; that is if he cares to do iny talking. When he drove oflf toward London he was bent on a serious errand for he was to sit on the jury and se^ that justice was done those who ap- peared at the Middlesex session of the peace. When it came time to call the roll of jurors he was absent and a little while later it was announced he was in the cells himself as he had •een taken in for driving while drunk. Instead of sitting in judgment oi, others this Ilderton man appeared in court and heard the magistrate an- nounce he would have to spend the next seven days in jail. Then he heard more because the magistrate kept on talking. The "more" he heard was to the effect that his car would be impounded for a period of three months. That is, Dog Leaps From Car Sighting a lot of toothsome chicks footloose in the ravine below at Gordon Bell's hatchery recently, an airedale pup in the back seat of a car speeding down the hill threw dis cretion to the wind and leaping out if the machine flew throuyh the air with the greatest of ease and landed far down in the ravine in the midst of the newly hatched flock. With such a bill-of-fare right at its nose, the pup was so knocked out by the jolt in landing that it lay stunned rind helpless, unable to satisfy its former craving for the featherlings. The owner of the dog had doubtless put a lot of space between himself and his dog before he discovered its nbsence which accounts for its now being among the strays in the town. A neighbour woman who witnessed the leap failed to see it show up once more and .she concluded that its day's work was done and that it would nev- er get back to where it could be acold- â- d for its foolhardiness. Many hours later at eventide she saw it slowly nmerpre from the valley of humiliation so limp and helpless that it is doubt- ful if it ever will catch up with its master's voice again. The new election bill when it comes into force in Canada, will eliminate many election abuses. But those )ng-winded, dry political speeches will still be with us. The first essential of a beautiful home is neatness and good repair, comments the Grimsby Independent. Tumble down fences and such things don't fit in with beauty. The beau- tiful home needs to be well cared for. If it looks shabby there won't be much .beauty. Plantinc tree« and =-hnibbery and flowers is usually an ps<!entln1. It can tum even a plain I'ttlfi dwdlintr Mr, nn nhode of beau- +v which we nil admire. AUCTION SALE FARM STOCK AND IMPLEMENTS Mrs. Alex.

That law had just come in- to effect and the would-be-juror was the first to come under its ruling in London. At the end of seven days he will be able to go home, but he cannot use his car until the tenth of September.PWalkerton Herald. Perhaps it is the discovery that Geo. S. Henry has been paying all the ex- penses on an East York church that has caused Mr. Hepburn to take a fly- ing leap at the United Church. A Toronto lad, aged seven, picked a fight with a girl and came off second best. One has to step lively these days to keep ahead of the so- called weaker sex. The elevator man rides up and down all day. Sometimes he's gloomy sometimes gay. He listens to gossip and old gags and sometimes gets a tip on winning nags. An Ohio tornado picked up a gar- age in which an automobile was park- ed without damaging the car. What we want is a tornado that will blow the mortgage away without harming the house under it. Protection of the beaver is indicated )y news that a Northern Ontario man was fined f 1,829 for illegal possession of pelts valued at fl,500. Despits this jealous guardianship, the rumor s that Canadian beavers are slipping across to the States to assist in build- ing water conservation dams. This looks like ingratitude on the part ot the nation's chief emblem.
