A DUTCH BOY WHO 33m}: A. GREAT ARTIST From “Stories at Grit” by Archer Wallace One day in September in 1870 when an ocean liner docked among her'passengers was a family named k. Mr. Bok’ had once been in fairly good circumstances but. un- wise investments had left him quite poor. so he and his wife de- cided to leave Holland, and with their two boys William and Ed- ward, make a new start in the United States. PAGE 2 The younger boy was” only in his seventh year and within a few days after landing he and his brother were sent to a public school in Brooklyn. Not knowing a word of English they couldn't, make them- selves understood. norJlinow what ‘..W “-- othe1s \Vere saVing. When school was. dismissed the bovs were each the centie of a group of tormentors VV ho seemed to enjoy teasing the little fellows. This continued for (lms and one day Edward was goaded intn fun and turned on the ringleader and gaVe him a sound threshing much to the surprise of the biz: hull} and to the other boys. Aitex this he had the 19spect of his schoolmates. The b0\s leainod the language quickly and adapted themselves to the. “(1)3 ol' the. no“ country. The boys‘ lather did not, find it easy to make good. He couldnt find VVork fox :1 long time and the stmin began to tell on the mothers health. The boys saw this and de¢idecl to relieVe her by Iising e'aIlV to «lo some of the household tasks and mm also found time after school hours to help her with the work. One morning they awoke to find neither wood nor coal to build the fire. so aftm' this each day they spent. some. of their time gathering (3031 that. had [wen carelessly spilt when being i‘lelivored. and they brought in wood that, was lying around * unclaimed. One day when Edward was look- ing in a baker’s window, the baker put a tray of tempting buns and tarts and pies in the window, and came out to look at them. and said to the boy “They look pretty good, don‘t they?" The boy "answered, "They look all right, but they would look a whole lot better if you had your window cleaned.” 1___ Edward also took a neWSpaper mute and deliwrm] papers on Saturday mornings and he was most. pleased to bring home his weekly earnings. vv‘- -' _ W .1 "Tl-St is true”; said the baker, per haps }Ou \Vi“ ‘CIeaI! itz” .â€" '30 idwzerd got the job of cleaning the window every Tuesday and Friday for which he received fifty cents a week. One day when the baker was busy Edward waited on a custom- er. and when the baker saw how aptly he did it, he engaged Edward t0 yelp him on certain days after school and on Saturdays and gave him a bigger Salary. One time he was invited to a party and the thought occured to him that. the hostess might like to see an account of her party in the paper, so he wrote it up and sent it in to the Brooklyn Eagle. The Editor was so pleased with the idea that he offered him a salary to gather such items of news. So Edward was a busy boy. \Nlun1 he Vvas thirhwni Nears of ago he Mt. school to atcept a posi- tion as ntiico Do in the \V estern Iniun Tolvgiaph ()0. at a salary of $6.25 a \\ 011k His mother was \ery disappointed at his mining school but owin" tn the straightened cir- (nunsuuums ot‘the noun: she ga\e her consents _nnth Raebm. money to buy books to improve his education. (To be concluded next. week.) SPRING HUNGER By Thomas Curtis Clark. My heart is famished for the Spring For April’s pink and gold; For woodland breezes whispering; For blossoms manifold! And I shall not be quite content Till Winter’s violence is spent. The snowâ€"time beauty quits its lure As March steals back again; My sorrow_see_31§s its qld-time cure, The April shine and rain. So forth I go, to search for Spring In some dim forest loitering. And if perchance I shall return With peach-sweet burdened down And if the roadside bushes burn As I speed hack to townâ€"â€" Then who shall dare refuse me room Who came bedecked with April “POOLISH FICTION” Comedian Compiles Series of Strange and Thoroughly Familiar Quotations.

SAYS JOHNNY ’HINBS OTHER PAPERS’ OPINIONS Tastes differ with regard to I apples as they do with regard to . many other things, but it is sur- : prising to find so wide a variation within comparatively short dis- tances in the United Kingdom. Certain varieties are popular ev- erywhere, but there‘ are others which, while prime favorites in one locality, meet with a poor reâ€" ception elsewhere. Mr. J. Forsyth Smith, Fruit Trade Commissioner in Liverpool, writes that Cox’s Orange :and Ribstons make special appeal to London but'that it is bad policy to ship them to Liverpool. On the other hand, McIntosh Reds are highly appreciated in Glasgow but move very slowly in London. Some very fine McIntosh Reds which were finding no outlet in London, were purchased by a Glasgow firm and sold at a definite profit over and above cost of transportation. These are facts, he says, which the secondary buyers are constantly taking advantage of to their own profit, while the shippers’ returns are affected only by primary sale. Moreover, difierent markets also have very definite preferences as to sizes, London, for example, abâ€" sorbing readily small sizes which would meet with a poor reception. in the north. If these preferences as to variety and size were more carefully studied, apple shippers would secure more satisfactory re- turns from the sale of their fruit.â€" Toronto Mail and Empire. The lesson learned abroad by the seventy members of the party that has just completed the Canadian Farmers’ Marketing Tour in Great Britain and Denmark may be a useful one. That lesson, as stated by Mr. H. S. Arkell, Canadian Liveâ€" stock Commissioner, is “that the British are the best buyers in the world and that it remain for (lana- dioans to become better salesmen if we would Secure the full benefits of the market which is open to us.” While the lesson y be of value, the information fro which it is derived is not altogether pleasing to Canadians, and, prob- ably, was not to the members of the touring party. Canada is not selling fresh meat in Great Britain to the same extent that it did, Mr. Arkell said. and is not making the most of its oppor- tunity in that market. The im-. proved quality of Canadian bacon} was noted. “As regards butter and cheese, we heard more about New Zealand than we did about Canada.” asserted the Livestock Commis~ sioner, “and disappointment was expressed that our cheese exports have not only been reduced -in volume but, except for the best grades, they are not commanding the attention of the market as they did.” South African fruit was ar- riving in Great Britain with vastly less wastage .than Canadian. Ire- land was displaying great energy in the development of trade in cattle, eggs, poultry and fresh pork. Canadian trade reports have re- vealed some falling-011‘ in sales of cer ain Canadian farm products to Gr t Britain in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1927. There was a decline in that year, as compared with the previous one, in the quantity of bacon and the value of all meats exported to the United Kingdom. There was a reduction from 18,110,399 pounds in 1925-26 to 6,864,400 pounds in 1926â€"27. in butter sent from Canada to the British market, and from 1,388,366 hundredweights to 1,190,000 hund- redweights in the quantity of cheese so disposed of. The falling- .off in exports to Britain of bacon, butter and cheese continued in the nine months of 1927, from the end of March onward, and was particu- larly pronounced in the case of butter. British Taste for Apples Agricultural Sales THE DURHAM CHRONICLE It has been asserted that the op- eration of Canada’s trade treaty with Australia ’ and New Zealand has caused a reduction in butter production in this country, and, consequently, in the exportable ; surplus of butter. There has been in the past five years a steady rise in the volume of cream and milk exports from Canada to' the United States. .There has also been some exportation to the United States of Canadian cattle, including, it has been reported, a considerable num» ber of animals of the breeds most suitable for dairying. Exportation of cream and milk may have af- forded an outlet for some raw materials for which there was less demand in this country because of the effect of the Australian treaty. Exportation of dairy cows means a lOss, that cannot be regained in a moment, of power to produce milk and cream and butter and cheese. It is to be hoped that the lesson learned by the party on the Farmers Marketing Tour will re- sult in effmts to increase Canada’s sales of agi 1cultural and dairy pro- ducts in Great Britain. The tour has indicated to the members of the party the requirements of the . Birtish market and the char- acter of the competiton to be met . thereâ€"Toronto Mail and Empire. It ‘has been rather well establish- ed that laws which arbitrarily fix speed limits for automobiles are little protection against accidents. The speed at which one may safely drive. depends upon the road and traffic conditions involved. A high executive of one of the leading automobile manufacturing companies, who has made a close study of speed in its relation to ac- cidents, declares that 50 or even 60 miles an hour ove r good open roads in the country may be safer than 1.3 miles an hour in cutting corners in toun. The safe driver is not necessar- ily the slow driver, but one who uses common sense whether driv- ing fast or 'slovv. Careless driving while turning corners, passing ped- estrians or other' cars, crossing railroad tracks and manoeuvring in congested traffic is the greatest menace to life and limb. Sense. not speed, is the important factor in determining‘ whether a driver is safe or unsafe. Dog Gone An irate fan who had watched his home team go down in defeat, stop- ped the umpire as he was leaving the field. “Where’s your dog?” he com- manded. “Dog?” ejaculated the ump. “Have no dog.” "Well” said the grouchy one, you’re the first blind man I ever saw who didn’t have a‘ dog.” SENSE AND SPEED " It Will Paleou Well When Having Your Printed at The Chronicle Office, to have us insert the full list in the current issue, Where those, unable from any cause to get out to see the bill may read in com- fort at. their own home fireside.
