Cragg and published by Long- mans, Green and Company. The copyright first edition may be se- cured at any bookstore at the very nominal price ai $2.50. This book is a ciassic ai rural lufe as seen through the eyes ai a youth on an Ontario iarm around the peniad ai the first Great War. This youtb, Kenneth Cragg, later became a leading Canadian journalist and for some years past be bas been senior Ot- tawa correspondent %for the Globe and Mail, Toronto, and is a belov- ed member ai the Parliamentary Press Gallery, House ai Comrnans. Cfnfined ta bis home through illness Mr. Cragg wrate a bni stany about bis father on the iarm wbich appeared in the Globe and Mail. Instantly it struck such a respansive chard among many readers that other stonies were de- manded. Sa Mr. Cragg expanded bis recollections into twenty-eight chapters comprising a book ai 173 pages. The book iaithiully portrays the every day prablems ai fanm lufe as they were met by an bon- est, hand-warking, God-iearing father Who took bis ups and downs with an equanimity un- disturbed by the well-meant ad- vice and ministrations ai bis good wife who serves as the fou aill through the story. Their persan- alities will be recognized in many a iarm home dlean across Canada for the incidents describbd will intrigue readers in any province. For instance, fathen is pictured stretching fence wire, getting caught in a windmill, getting ribs broken and all the cammon in- juries that bring u nat t en d ed wounds which in turn bring scold- ings with salve and liniment from bis worried belpmeet. He liked gaod borses and was a cautiaus trader. He always worked for bis bined men and with them and beld that yau can't worz, if you dan't eat. And be liked peace in ail church aif airs. Father knew a gaod farmer by bis gates and be was always fixing and painting 1with bis favourite red paint. He was bis awn weath- er prophet and no-one cauld tel bimn what ta plant. He aiways had a distrust ai newfangied con- traptions and lufe in the cities. Ris animais were bis friends and wene always fed first. He couldn't stand "bossy" women and neyer seemed happy when sitting down. There is bumar in every Uine ai the book 'but there is no face- tiousness. Father was a real cit- izen and the whole effect braugbt out by Mn. Cragg in this master- piece af portraiture is the hanes- ty and dignity characteristic ai the men and wamen ai* Canada wha in rural cammunities bave contributed s0 much ta make Can- ada great. Kenneth Cragg naw takes bis place as an author with such fi- gures as the late Peter MacArthur and the late Stephen Leacock, wbase bumor always carried a message ai profound understand- ing and rich philosophy in brîng- ing out the Canadian way ai lufe. Indeed Mr. Cragg's 'book is ex- pected ta reach a papularity eguai ta that ai the David Hanum s0 well remembered by aider read- ens. With a long winten coming on the people of rural Canada, served by the weekly press, can be as- sured that homes and social clubs will be greatiy brightened with discussions and camparisons and much laughten aiter securing cop- ies of Kenneth Cragg's tnuly great stany ai lii e an the farm. As a purely local reference we have learned that Mr. Cragg's mother, wha died many years aga, was a native ai Durham County, a daughter ai the Awde family. Young Cragg was naised and cdu- cated near -Drayton, Ontario, whcre he gathened the impres- sions that farm bis absorbing stary.
