conditions have im proved and the present outlook is for a wheat crop of 380 to j9q bushels which will be a record for some years past the crop suffered from exces- j sive heat and lack of moisture in

didnt he remember when grand pa had put in bard sidewalks and real curbstones the first in town and bow the youngsters sat on them and waved flags when the parade went along and each year during his boyhood and after his years at col lege the parade passed the house just as regularly as the holiday came along lately his own kiddles had hung their little feet from the same curb and shrilled their voices at ttoeniar- shal then last year uiey said that the parade would be nhuted down the avenue instead of poising the house he said that they didnt know what they were talking about the parade had always come down this street not the avenue just wait and seel what if there were fl tot of new- peo ple on the committee someone would tell them about it he would him self and he did i but the parade had gonedown the avenue just as they said jt would of course he hadnt gone over no sir not he i and he wouldnt let the kiddles go either no such insult would be condoned by any of his fa mily the music wasnt sp good friends who went had told him it was all too snappy you know girl drummnjors and such not like the real parade that used to come down his way so he had written to vox pop and protested twice he did so and he talked about it to whomever he could get to bend an ear it was a crying shame what were they try ing to do start the neighborhood downhill after it had been known for years as the best street- in town and now the holiday had come again decoration everywhere his flag was out too looked pretty well though a bit motheaten here and there it had stood for the same principles over the years nothing to be ashamed tor there old glory had witnessed the parade many times as it hung from its staff this year they hadnt published the route of the parade at least he liadn t seen it perhaps they would be sensible and return to the tradi tional path he hoped so and so did the kiddies though they dldnt say so whenever anyone said any thing about the parade it always set oil daddy too bad he took on that way he was such a good daddy about everythlngexoept the parade mom my had whispered to them not to gt him started because of his heart you know it was almost lime for the parade wasnt it yes his watch pointed to the quarter hour when it arrived at the comer it took just fifteen min utes for them to march from main street again he looked at his watch and then up the street nothing in sight mother he called and as he listened for her reply he heard strains of music marching music again he looked toward the corner music in the distance yes he wasnt mistaken mother lie called again what is it came her voice the kiddles where are they i told them that they could go iver to the avenue and se v par ade they wanted lo toe it so much that was more than a year ago he has sold his old house nnd bought a new one over on the avenue a new flag too and lawn chairs and every thing and last holiday when the parade came past the new house the marshal saluted htm and a snappy girl drummajor threw him a kiss pretty nice pretty nice over here on the avenue tell you what he was saying to a friend tell you what theres no use talking you dont stay over on the old route when the parade is coming down the avenue not if you want to see the parade this parable or the parade was told by a friend of mine to a group of men as indicative of the attitude of too many business men and concerns who are still waiting for the parade after it has changed its route to the avenue newer ideas better methods all that you gel the idea by j t mackay in the llnotypenews the

names of persons outstanding in the professional academic and business life of the dominion who have assisted the commission on advisory examin ing boards occupy four full pages of the report this long list of judges doctors professors bankers engineers and architects testifies not only to the infinite variety of positions in the government service but also to the effort made by the commission to ob tain the best available assistance for filling technical positions an advisory examining board is us ually set up to make a selection among candidates whose technical qualifica tions are vouched for by diplomas or certificates it consists usually of a representative of the department that has the vacancy examiners from the commissioners staff and one or more specialists chosen to advise the board on technical questions that might arise this board considers the claims made by each contestant on his appu- catton form looks over the references submitted by persons who can vouch for ills technical and personal qualifi cations and then calls for the best of them to appear for an oral examlna tlon at this oral examination the careers of the candidates are examined more thoroughly and they are judged from the point of tie of personal suitability as wen a fter that day when mrs gaines brought back the rice pudding she had taken over to miss reeves house because she found her sitting up in bed and eating a roast chicken and ice cream miss reeve had been recovering from a broken wrist nobody had quite dared to pitytqe latter openly yet she seemed so lonely so queer when one saw her trip ping doyfp main street as likely as not carrying a pail containing a few blackberries picked from the hedgerows she seemed like an old child not hat she was insane miss reeve had taught school and as far as anyone knew there was no reason why she should play the part of village recluse but there it was missreeye stayed alone and never visited when she went to church she contrived tpslip put before the rest of the congregation had teft the pews poor miss reeve they said and shook their heads then ode day miss reeve failed to put in an appearance to buy her sunday pork chops sunday after church miss boyle and miss gaines of the rice pud ding determined to seek her whether or no as they put it consumed with uie curiosity that is camouflaged as kindness they tapped on her door no answer another and louder knock still no answer all the years accumula tion of ghastly incidents from their extensive sunday newspaper read ing ran through their rustier minds something said mrs gaines solemnly has happened miss boyle thrilled oh poor miss reeve she said they peeked in at the window no the room was peacefully steeped in the sunshine of a warm july sunday but the very quiet ag gravated their fears and they just gave way to panic and raahome little miss boyle with remarkable agility and fat mrs gaines after the manner of an alarmed elephant you havent seen anything you say said tim haynes the town marshal no we didnt dare go in shud dered the exhausted runners hm weu ill take a look in after ive had my dinner things like that set better on a full stom ach if theres anything there which i doubt said the phlegmatic tim but there was nothing to see in the severely plain little reeve homestead nothing but an electric refrigerator which certainly seemed an inexcusable piece of ex travagance in one who had appar ently the smallest means still failing acute tragedy the re frigerator made something to talk about besides as mrs gaines re marked it explained the ice cream then one evening young carrol barnes a commutor from the city brought back some news guess who i saw at the station this morning no not here in the city he said lo his pretty athletic wife cant guess tell she said poor miss reeve 1 couldnt be lieve until she touched me on the sleeve i hope nobodys been anxious she said in that fluttering way of hers but you see im married what almost screamed esther barnes oh she couldnt bel im telling you she is and she looked positively pretty and smart too one of those uneven skirts dont know what you call em and spike heels all in blue with flesh stockings and blue shoes she had her husband with her and who dyou think it was you remember old hassell who got in some mess years ago and went to the kion- dyke well it seems he is a rich man breeds reindeer and what not and they were engaged back in those old days and now hes come back and married his early love she looks absurdly happy like a young kid but whats he like an awful old thing oh its dreadful if all those women had been kind to her and not hated her for being a better cook than they were and or ordering an electric refrigerator she wouldnt have married him look out for the crossing called carrol he isnt a bad guy just a fat old business man thats all i found the bank thinks hes absolutely all right and that scrape was simply a political frameup dont you be as bad as the rest ive asked them to come for a week end and youll see all those old birds will fall all over themselves to get asked to the city i know them poor miss reeve murmured his unconvinced wife
