WORKS â€"â€"In the rear,of the -‘ arket on Cambridge street. drummer:- , l . matter of more pay and shortcrhours. have their ‘mind is given a chance it is apt to show 'l‘he Fenclon Falls Gazette Friday, May 26th, 1911 A Professor of Leisure. Making all allowances for the influ- ence of the extremely hot weather, when any old excuse for quitting Work and going fishing is a sore temptation, it still must be admitted that there is a great deal of truth in Peter McArthur’s remarks in the Globe of recent date, an extract from which is herewith repro- duced: - ‘ While planting trees and gardening 1 went at the work with a grim determin- ation to get it done. Only when the task was completed and I had time and energy to reflect did I realize to what a complete blank I had reduced the most enjoy able season of the year. I remem~ her that on the first day I went to the woods the buds were swelling on the trees. When the Work was done the trees were in full leaf and the ground was covered with wild flowers, but I had not noticed the progress of the change. During that strenuous period I observed nothing, enjoyed nothing, thought nothing, read nothing. I reduc- ed myself to a mere machine, capable of nothing but work and weariness. It was only when the rush was over that I real- ized how insensate and inanimate I had been. While I had been slaving, a cor- onation scene more wonderful than that which is about to take place in London had been in progress, but I had seen nothing of it. Nature was being crown- ed with flowers, and the fields and trees had put on their wonderful green mant- les for the great occasion, but I had been indiiIerent. As I thought of this I suddenly realized that I had simply re- duced myself to the condition that is habitual with nine farmers out of every ten in this beautiful.country, I under- stood for the first time why farmers as a class are so apathetic to the wonders by which they are surrounded. Living more closely in touch with nature than any one else, they probably enjoy her beauty less than anyone else. Even the city man who goes for an occasional stroll in the park enjoys nature more than they do. ' This point of view-,‘jsuddenly changed my attitude towards a number of things I wasinclin‘cd’toladmirc. When the re- port of the Ontario Agricultural College came to me through the mail a couple of days ago 1 found it hideously practical. It is full of information that if applied will greatly increase the prosperity of the country, butin my present frame of mind I am not sure that that is what we stand most in need of. What is the use of reducing the cow to a butter-fat machine, the hen to an egg machine, them are reduced to work machines. Mr. James’s assertion that the products of Ontario can be doubled in ten years does not look so good to me as it did. If he proposed to show how as much as is being produced in Ontario could be pro- duced with half the amount of labor I should like it better. It is this ever- lasting effort to produce more, instead of to enjoy more, that is robbing life of all its charms. They need a professor of leisure in connection with the Agri- cultural Department to teach the value of leisure on the farm, how to enjoy it. Work has become a. mania and people are trying madly to do more than their share. Instead of saying, “Build thee greater mansions, O my soul 1" the far- mer is raging to build greater bank barns and the Department of Agriculture is doing all in its power to help him do it and to show him how to fill them. New I understand why days of idleness are so irksome to so many people. It is not always because they are greedy for gain and cannot hear to think that time is being lost. It is because they habitually stupcfy themselves with work as with a powerful narcotic, and find it painful to minds awake. When the how useless so. much of our striving is, and we have to stupefy it again so as to escape from its accusations. I am even inclined to suspect that those-who are trying to educate the farmers are de- feating their own purposes. By showing how to make work more profitable they are inducing people to work harder, and in that way have their minds less open to new ideas and better methods. The professor of leisure could correct this by forcing home the truth that the end of all work is to winpleisurc. It is in our hours of leisure that we en- joy ourselves and grow. But the world has been reduced to such a condition..by work that we need to be taught- how to enjoy ourselves and grow. There is certainly a great field for the nswfiproo fcssor. ' ' ' I The 'most obvious. cri.ticism-_ of“ the foregoing is that thewritcr apparently I does not realize that the great majority of people who work steadily and long do so because they must, not because they I _ I hire to, or because they are greedy ofj gain. The lash of necessity drives them. i More leisure for this class is simply a: and so on, if the men who look Destructive Hail Storm. Violent hail storms are reported from A Good Example. Mr. W. H. Bennett writes to the Mid- Haliburton, Minden and Kinmount, and land Argus : “ Many of our citizens have portions of the country between. The storms were from the west, and occur- red on Tuesday evening. At Kinmount it lasted about a. half an hour. Many of the hail stones were four inches in cir- cumference. Windows were broken in almost every house in the village and much damage done to fruit trees and fine grass and flower plats in front of their residences which are highly cred- itable, but can‘t we have‘ more? Not only do they improve the appearance, but they also increase the value of their property, as well as giving the town an appearance of thrift. To encourage the good work I will give prizes of $15, $10 bushes, the foliage being out completely . and $5 on the 151'. of September, for the off. Current bushes were stripped of best three displays of grass plats and leaves and fruit as clean as though eat- flowers with the same, in front of resi- en off by caterpillcrs. The-area covered dences where property is assessed for by the storm was not wrde, reaching not more than $800. The judging will reaching only a. short distance east and. be done by a gentleman whose fairness west of the village. At Haliburton and Miuden the storm was more destructive, if anything, than at Kinmount. Mr. Jas. Gillogly, of Lind- say, had a narrow escape while driv- ing into Minden during the storm. The heavy hail caused the horse to run away. The buggy was upset, and Mr. Gillogly thrown out. Fortunately the tug broke, and the horse was let loose. Mr. Gill- ogly had to walk about a half a mile be- ‘ fore reaching a house, and was soaking wet when he arrived. Having been on the sick list, the shaking up and the wetting did him no good, but he was fortunate to escape without more serious injuries. â€".â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" Personal.

Thc party came to Harriston about a year agoiand induced the town to give him the use of a factory building to operate in. There was a great flour- ish, joy riding in an automobile, feasting, etc.- A leading citizen advanced $1,000, and “ the hum " was sure to,come to Harriston. The automobile was burned while out on a trip last summer, how or why is merely conjecture.
