A firstâ€"class highâ€" grade mower is rather expensive, but it is better to club with a neighbor and get a good mower than to waste n.oney on a bargain counter machine that won‘t hold up over summer.

Suppose I decide overnight that I will get up on the following morning at a certain merute when the clock strikes. And suppose, when the clock strikes, I lie in bed for anothor ten minutes, and then get up and hurry. That in itself may not seem a very grave fault. But it is. Because every failure of the will makes it more dificult to conquer the next time. ; What is willâ€"power? It is simply making the inclinations play second fiddle to the will; it is, when wisdom hes decreed a certain course, forcing ourselves to follow that course. Bome may be annoyed; some may scoif, but they will not be able to withâ€" ho!d their respect. â€" To ask anybody to help you to strengthen your will is foolish and useâ€" less. It is entirely a private affair, and he who is engaged on this dificult and lifelong task skould nevex‘:peak about it to anyone. Our friends and acquaintances will soon find out that we are exercising willâ€"power. It shows itself, mystericusly, like good thoughts. Betterâ€"Grado Mowers Keep | Natural Resources Bulletin.

Are Canadians loyal to their own vegetable and fruit growers? . A glance at the reports of foreign vegetables and fruits imported into this country gives reason for serious thought as to whether we are giving our own produce the support it deâ€" serves, or whether we are not cultlâ€" vating an extravagant taste for out-‘ ofâ€"season and imported vegetables and fruits.

Now let me sound a note of warring. Willâ€"power is not obstinacy. If you find that what you thought was willâ€" power is becoming obstinacy, and hurtâ€" ing those you love, wipe the slate clean and begin again. F Willâ€"power is formed by an accumuâ€" lation of victories in little Lfin. At the time they may seem trifiing, but it is victory in these trifies that enables us to meet the great moment when it comes.
