I could plainly 8¢e chaos or vietory, one way or the other, and I didn't know how to bring victory out of chaos. Sudden- ly there came to thy mind an inci- dent of early childhood. I sald to them, "I want to tell you a story. It is a story of my early childhood," ~--and they stopped pounding. You, Belle-villians stopped pounding. (Laughter.) I said, I remembered when I was a very small boy, that time after time without number 1 had to take very disagreeable medi- cine for something or other, and while I did not know what it was for, at all, I had to take it, just the same. I rebelled just as bad as the Bellevillians rebelled against hear- ing me. 1 could only be coaxed to take that medicine by my mother saying, "Now, now, be good; swal- low thishand I'll give you two lumps of sugar,"--and I swallowed it for the sake of the sugar. "Now," 1 said, "Bir John is there; he is the sugar pill, and I am the medicine, but you do not get that sugar pill t| until you have swallowed the medi- cine." (Laughter and applause.) Belleville concluded to be good, and they listened to me for a decent length, of time, and I did not tire their patience too much. HELF IN THE FARMHOUSE. The New England states agencies are seeking to solve the problems of the farmers' wives, of which help is the chief. got malds, or for that matter any other kind of farm help. The agencies making the investigation deletes on the care given babies. They find "that the time required to care, feed, bathe and do the laundry work for a child on% year or under is between five and six hours a day." And then the report calls up Mr. "DM you ever attempt to give a three months' old baby a bath? If you have you will admit it is the toughest job-you ever undertook. Yet how deftly does the mother work. She understands it and her arms and hands go about the little body in a way no man could acquire if he practiced until the end of time. And.then, Mr. Man, trydand dress that same baby." But that is only one of the duties of the farms mother and every other mother. There's the care of the house, the cooking, the laundry, the mending, the sewing, the dairy work and the chickens, and on ddéwn a list which seems to be almost with- out end. She deserves help if anyone ever did, but where is she going to get it? The : report doesn't say. It arouses sympathy, however. It em- phasizes the fact that all the farm problems as they relate to help are not confined to the farmer and his fields. AUTOS VS. RAILWAY TRAINS, The Canadian National Railway reports sixty-five grade crossing ac- 'cidents in 1925. Forty persons lost their lives and fifty-one were Injur- ed. In nine cases there were no fatalities. In ninety-eight per cent. of the accidents the company was not at fault. In two cases three complete families were wiped out and' in one accident two whole fami- lies lost their lives, The report comments that 'the automobile has yet to be made that can try conclu- sions with a swiftly moving train and win out." Investigation proved that 'n a large number of cases the accidents were due solely to carelessness on the part of the drivers of the auto- mobiles. Listed among the acei- dents are two where autoists drove their cars into the tender of en- gines, three where the automobiles hit the second or third car back of the engine ind one where the driver actually crashed into the twentieth car back of the engine and did it with sufficient force to bruise and ) [somewhat injure the occupants of the automobile as well as to dam- age his machine, a -------- WHICH IS. BEST DRIVER? "Who would you rather trust s&s a isuffour, a mans or a woman? There is considerable - debate over the matter. Women get credit for greater safety than men. They can drive better than men. This is gen- erally conceded in auto club circles.
