Outline More Recent Farm Developments On the eve of commencing cutt ting tbe 34500 acres of splendid wheat crop on tbe north end of the Reclamation Farm tbe men, who in 1930, were responsible for the start at ^bringing the big tract back into production, gathered 100 per cent strong at a reunion dinner at the King George Hotel on Monday evening, in company with others who in financial, legal and other ways have lent a helping hand with the re-dyking, providing seed grain, etc , and generally getting the area under crop* after three -seasons of idleness following-the collapse bf the dykes in 1932. , . N It was a great'occasion "for the* original landowners and their satisfaction .was felt in the same good measure by all -who -sat around the festive board, and--this satisfaction was stated in practical terms by a number who were called upon to give after dinner talks. The gathering was presided .oyer by G. J. Garretson, chairman of the.board of three farmers who are now handling the project, under the supervision of G. L. Salter, trustee in bankruptcy, who become official receiver when the Kootenay Valley Power & Development Company, Limited, original purchasers of the lands from the Alexander* interests, became insol- - vent about .four years ago. Mr. .Garretson was.in splendid form and introduced all the speakers with an originality al! too seldom seen In an amateur -ioasim aster.; The guest speaker was G. L. Salter of Vancouver, trustee in bankruptcy, who impressed all present with bis brief but very businesslike review of the farm affairs since he" has been appointed as receiver by the court. In opening bis remarks Mr. Salter said. ''Now that the effort of "t'lose witb* whom I am associated in the reclamation of the farm lands, tbe property of the. Kootenay Valley -Power" &"* Development??? C&m^ - panp-in bankruptcy. .hgsshcwa considerable eyidence_of success-1, feel, that1 the . work is .of such a nature that it is no longer a private enterprise* but has assumed something of a "public 'interest. I therefore believe tbat it is fitting- at this stage of the work to make some observatio s for the public information which also may be of interest to the fanners." Mr. - Salter's talk went thoroughly into the details of the rehabilitation of the project, speaking in eulogistic terms of the splendid support that had been given him by the farmers individually vas well as Jas. Anderson, -representative of the Alexander inteeests ih B.C., along with the implement and grain companies. The address is, we believe, of so much local interest, that we will publish it in full next week. Sherwood Lett, of Vancouver, solicitor for the Alexanders and legal. advisor to Mr. Laltei*, "waspresent and outlined the difficulties theibadly mixed affairs of the farmers and the defunct development company presented. Along with the serious* Bide of his talk Mr. Lett interjected considerable humor, and his talk was very thoroughly ap"p>riciated. N.

MAOESN CANADA Motorists���������Take It Easy The highways of North America are dotted witb thousands of motor cars as people travel from city to town and town to city, and as they proceed on business journeys. Each, and every one of these cars is a high-powered vehicle, capable of doing: almost incalculable damage unless handled with judgment and discretion. Whether you and your friends enjoy the motor trip you may be making depends not on the speed you travel, but whether you arrive safely at your destination. In the United States last year there were almost one million motor accidents, with 36,000 deaths. The accident and death rate in Canada is almost as high, Ontario last year recording 512 deaths and 8,990 accidents which were not fatal, but many of which meant people scarred and maimed and intenise suffering for hundreds. In the driving of a car, a man reveals himself. It is the thoughtless, selfish, reckless driver that is largely responsible for the ton on the highways. "What is gained if a man arrives at his destination a few seconds ahead of schedule ? Why do so many men, when seated behind the wheel of a car, act like boors and leave behind them every vestige of courtesy and consideration for others? The motor is a wonderful invention, but in the hands of a man without judgment or balance, is a terrible instrument of destruction, leaving death and maimed lives in its wake. In the August issue of that popular little magazine "Reader's Digest" there appeared an article entitled "���������And Sudden Death" which has attracted continent-wide notice and hundreds of thousands of reprints of which are being distributed throughout Canada and the United States. The only regret is that a copy cannot be placed in the hands of every person who drives an automobile. It is a gruesome recital of what automobile accidents really are, ���������a realistic portrayal of scenes witnessed every day on the highways of this supposedly civilized continent. The automobile, says the writer of this article, is treacherous, just as a cat is. It is tragically difficult to realize that it can become the deadliest missile. As enthusiasts tell you, it makes 65 an hour feel like nothing at all. But 65 an -hour is 100 feet a second, a speed which puts a viciously unjustified responsibility on brakes and human reflexes, and can instantly turn this docile luxury hito a mad bull elephant. Collision, turnover or sideswipe, each type of accident produces either a shattering dead stop or a crashing change of direction ������������������ and, since the occupant ��������� meaning you ��������� continues in the old direction at the original speed, every surface and angle of the car's interior immediately becomes a battering, tearing projectile, aimed squarely at you ��������� inescapable. There is no bracing yourself against these imperative laws of momentum. It's like going over Niagara Falls in a steel barrel full of railroad spikes. The best thing that can happen to you ��������� and one of the rarer things ��������� is to be thrown out as the doors spring open, so you have only the ground to reckon with. True, you strike with as much force as if you had been thrown from the Twentieth Century at top speed. But at least you are spared the lethal array of gleaming metal knobs and edges and glass inside the car. Anything can happen in that split second- of a crash, even those lucky escapes you hear about. People have dived through windshields and come out with only superficial scratches. They have run cars together head on, reducing both to twisted junk, and been found unhurt and arguing bitterly two minutes afterward. But death was there just the same ��������� he was only exercising his privilege of being erratic. And every time you pass on a blind curve, every time you hit it up on a slippery road, every time you step on it harder than your reflexes will safely take, every time you drive with your reactions slowed down by a drink or two, every time you follow the man ahead too closely, you're gambling a few seconds against agony and sudden death. There is an old !<}ga! phrase that "time is of .the essence of the contract." This is not true on the highway; the reverse is true. Your duty as a driver is to bring safely home not only yourself, but your family and friends who may be travelling with you. Equally, it is your duty to so drive your car as to In no way endanger others but to allow them to likewise reach their homes in safety. French "Engineers Had Hard 3oh Building Hotels In Algeria As the. French penetrate further and further southward into the Sahara, pacifying the roving Arab tribes as they go, hotels are being "erected for the accommodation of Government officials, visiting Army officers, business men and the occasional venturesome tourist. The hotels had to be taken south, through the desert, in parcels. Each parcel weighed about 200 lbs., and was one-camel- load. Caravan after caravan, travelling forty-five days through sands, brought to -Timlmoun, in the far south of Algeria, the many tons of windows, doors, glass, china, linen, cutlery, furniture, electrical installation and other equipment needed for the local hotel. Neither foremen nor European laborers would agree to go there, so the " place was built by French army engineers, who themselves had to trace tn the sand the first outline of the building because the superstitious wild Arabs of the region feared The Evil Eye, and would not have anything to do with blue-prints. They did consent to make the mud bricks, however, which j form the walls, and to drag up to the site the date-palm trunks forming the roof beams and "girder- work." The rest had to come in parcels. Even the ships of the desert bringing the parcels were temperamental. They would not travel on even such good roads as were to be found along their line of route, but had to be steered over soft sandy courses. Camels suffer from bad spells of foot soreness unless allowed soft tracks..

The Ministry of Transport is hastening this condition by plans to substitute horse-drawn traffic by a completely mechanized system, and some of these plans will be carried into effect shortly. . The busiest streets in London wiU be closed to horse-drawn traffic in the near future by regulations soon to be jigsuedL by the department. .Already, there is. a device operating in Oxford street between certain hours. Later an edict will be issued that horse-drawn vehicles will not be allowed in London at all after a period of from three to five years. Under existing traffic legislation, the Minister of Transport, L. Hore- Belisha, has power to put an end to traffic by horse in London's streets.

O. / WHEAT RUST TAKES HEAVY TOLL OF WESTERN CROP High Price For Book of Ottawa.���������Farmers of western Canada will lose approximately $100,000,- 000 on account of wheat rust this year, taking 80 cents a bushel as the average price for wheat. Dr. "E. S. Archibald, director of experimental farms, "believes. Dr. Archibald told a local service club he had made two trips' to the west this season and until * about three weeks ago looked for a 500,- 000,000 bushel crop of wheat, oats and barley. Now, however, the situation was changed. Western grain fields had been struck by the worst epidemic of black stem rust ever experienced ..in Canada. Previous epidemics had come in 1904, 1916, 1920, 1923 and 1927. Rust caused a loss of 100,000,000 bushels in 1916, said Dr. Archibald. He said this was "the year of the great disaster in western Canada when wheat was so badly needed by Great Britain and the allies." It had meant a loss of $150,000,000. This year the loss in bushels would be greater, although the financial loss would be less because of lower prices. United States farmers had suffered as well to the tune of many millions. "The condition this year," he said, "is that at the present time according to estimates made about' 10. days ago, there will be a total reduction in the west of about 102,000,000 bushels." Added to the loss in:volume would be a reduction in thc grades ot wheat which would almost equal the monetary loss involved in the decreased yield. The areas most affected would be the southern half of Manitoba and the southeastern part of Saskatchewan. The line of severe infection extended as far -west as Moore Jaw, but Alberta and northwest Saskatchewan were not affected. Several varieties of high-yielding rust-resistant wheat had now been develbTped. said Drv Archibald, and there were about SiOOO or 9;000 bushels of this wheat available for seeding next year.: If ? this quantity could be increased at a normal rate in the next coupie of years the most critical aspects of the rust problem would be limited.

So the book is to be set up and printed by Doubleday, Doran and Co. Two copies will he sent to Washington to secure ? copyright; 10 copies will be kept lor sale.

"Chief," he was asked, "would your people consider taking this country back if it was offered to you." The chief became indignant. People, apparently, are always asking him to take the country back, and it's getting on his nerves. "Ugh" he snorted. "We had this country once, when it was in a lot better shape than it is now. Palefaces won it, and Indian always plays for keeps. You got it, you keep it; no exchanges can be made on this goods, thank you," he declared. The chiefs medal, which he wilt hand on to his nephew when he goes to the happy hunting grounds, is as handsome as it is rare. It is one of seven which were struck following the war, and given to the seven chiefs of tbe Seven Nations. On one side is facsimile of the King and on the reverse side a picture of a lion and a wolf allied against an -unseen foe. The Sioux at Pipestone are not natives of western Canada, but came here many years ago from the United States. They do not come in for treaty money which the government disburses" overy year to Canadian Indians. ASSISTING NATURE By Jack Miner, Little Journeys In Science AX.XIMINUSI (By Gordon H.. Guest, M.A.) Aluminum is a comparatively new industrial metal. Iron, copper, lead, tin, and the precious metals have been used by man for ages but aluminum is a recent gift of science to industry. The industrial metals are all heavy substances, while aluminum, is only about one third as heavy as iron. Iron, the chief structural metal of the past, rusts easily, whereas aluminum is little affected by air or moisture. The story of the discovery of an economical method for extracting aluminum from its ores is a most interesting one. A young .American scientist, Charles Hall, - decided that the decomposition of the ore by means of electricity* was the best method to use. The large-scale process of to-day is practically the same as the one devised by Hall in his woodshed in 1886. Aluminum resembles tin in appearance and can be easily hammered into very thin sheets. It is fairly hard and strong, being superior to most metals in these respects, although not equal to steel. It is a very good conductor of heat and electricity and forms alloys quite readily with many metals. The properties of aluminum, especially when it is made into alloys with certain metals, enable man to put it to a great variety of uses. Its lightness, strength, and resistance to corrosion moke it suitable for all kinds of construction purposes that range from kitchen utensils and small containers of all kinds to an engine base in a single casting weighing 3800 pounds. In the construction of modern oflice buildings as much as 100,000 pounds of the metal have been used for such purposes as roofing, cornices, window frames, ornamental fittings, and even furniture. Gas tanks, street cars, and truck bodies are being made of aluminum, and the automobile and aircraft industries absorb approximately one third of tho annual output of this new industrial metal. In a single year tho washing-machine in- dually required over 21,000,000 pounds. In a finely divided state, suspended in a suitable oil, it is used as a protective paint for metal objects, such ������.h wltm-vi pipes and radiators. It has wide use aa a thin foil for radio condensers. Aluminum finds an important uso In tho manufacture of thermite which 1������ used extensively for welding. Thermite consists of a mixture of iron oxide and aluminum powder and when ignited tho chemical reaction which takes placo produces a vory great temperature. By means of thermite a broken part in a machine can be welded without taking the machine apart, whloh la certainly a grant advantage. Birthday Of Panama Canal Waterway Was Opened To Traflfio 21 fears Ago The Panama Canal, which shortens the water course from New York to the Pacific coast by more than 8,400 miles, came of age on August 15. i Since it was opened to traffic 21 j years ago���������Aug. 15, 1914���������fulfilling ! a dream which led the Spanish to 1 make engineering surveys as early as 1521, $394,566,620 in tolls has been paid for 82,673 passages of ships between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The canal now has a capacity estimated at about 348 ships a day, although in the fiscal year ended June 30 the average number of daily transits was only about fifteen. The highest daily average -was less than eighteen in the peak year of 1928. During the past year I have read a number of articles both in magazines and in newspapers, as well as many letters that come to me, on the subject of "Nature's Balance," decrying actions or systems on the part of man which the writer described as "Interfering with Nature," "Upsetting Nature's Balance," and so on. To all who adopt tbat attitude I should like to put myself on record to the effect that, personally, I believe the so-called "Balancing of Nature" was left entirely with man, and that I believe in assisting nature for the benefit of humanity, ? God created everything and then He created man"'iri His own likeness and gave him dominion over all;" that Is, as I understand it, tbe power and authority to manage everything here on earth. Look, for instn,nce3 ������t the animal world, with the live-stock in the farmer's barnyard as example. Did God create the Jersey Cow, and Holstein, and the Hereford-? No. He gave man the original stock and then God, through man's instrumentality, developed many breeds, some for the high cream content of milk, some to produce the greatest quantity of milk, and some as the best beef cattle. All have been on earth a long time, of course; but their differences are the result of man's management. And, remember, man had to interfere with Nature to develop them. Much the same thing is true of the Horse, different strains being cultivated for particular purposes, such as Clydesdales and Percherons for heavy draught work, and the blue-blooded descendants of original Arab stock for racing. Recently I was' in some of the southern States, where the character of the farm work to be done is too heavy for the common ass, yet where the climate is too warm to permit* of the horse doing-its best. In that part of the continent, therefore, man has crossed the ass. with our common horse and produced a beast that withstands the heat and is also strong enough_ to do the work of tilling the soil? Yes, he has developed the mule. But the mule kicked and, so far as I know, has gone no further. In poultry, if you trace, back various species, it is very easy to see that it has been the work of man that has developed the different breeds, Leghorns, Brahmas, Minorcas, Plymouth Rocks, and so on, some of which are especially valuable as layers, and others as food. Our much prized turkey as nothing -more o������ le3s than the wild turkey, domesticated and im** proved. Seventy-five-years ago our Canadian north-west was grazed by. millions of wild buffalo (Bos bison). Then came the white man who, realizing the value of the fertile soil, established a park where a herd was placed to preserve the species from extinction, slaughtered the great roaming herds and, turning the land upside-down, made it into one of the largest and most valuable of earth's great wheat-fields, with towns and The Bast Indian banyan tree is distinguished by the fact that roots descend from its branches and become auxiliary trunks, thus permit-, ting the tree to extend over a wide I cities and stately governmental build ar6a. The Tokyo earthquake of 1923 caused a greater monetary loss than the entire Japanese-Russian war. More than 400,000 buildings .were demolished. ings dotted here and there across its vast expanse. Remember, though, that in order to bring about this state of things, man had to "Interfere with Nature", as some would call it. r And speaking of wheat-fields, wheat has been man's favorite food J for centuries. Yet wheat, even as it W<^lf'������^&&& T^ryt&L. in/ was being grown in Canada in comparatively recent years, had certain weaknesses. It had to be planted in the fall and did not always survive the severity of the western winter. It was not producing as abundantly as seemed desirable and it did not mature rapidly enough, always _ to escape the early autumn frosts. Then came to our aid such men as Professor Charles Saunders, ^erealist of Ottawa, and by study, experimentation and the rigid selection of choice grains, developed a wheat that could ..mi planted in tho spring, that would yield several bushels more per acre than had been the rule previously, that would mature within a certain period of time, and that yet retained all its former qualities. We hatve today the Marquis and the Garnet and other species of wheat, developed by" man. God created the original, the germ; but man Was given, and has used, the power to develop, manage and control it. Or if you will consider your flower garden, look at the Iris. God gave to us in America a little, insignificant flower growing along the banks of streams, which we called, commonly, the "flag". From it man has developed the Iris that grows three or four feet high, varied in color, and some giving out an exquisite fragrance. But man had to interfere with Nature to accomplish this. Or take the rose. Did God create the American Beauty Rose? No. He gave man brains, and a little old wild Rose which served as the germ, so to speak. Today, through the efforts of outstanding botanists, man has been given flowers of beauty and frag-* rance, as the Creator'intended should be done. But let us look at another side of the question. At the same time? God created the little wild rose, He created also,the weed, typicaT of -which is the Canadian Thistle:^ Still he gave to man the /brains and the-means o*f controlling these also, so that - they may be restrained from predominating the plant world. "En yourYosrcbaerd-are many varieties of fruit. Did God-create'the Stark Delicious ~v apple, the Northern Spy, and other varieties? No. He gave man the little wild Crab Apple, and the Hawthorne, - which is a miniature apple or germ, and from these-man developed what we have today. Yet, according to some people's state-, merits, if you kill the mice that girdle these fruit trees when they are" small, you are "interfering with or upsetting Nature's balance." If you are raising* poultry, or other bird life, and hawks, begin to destroy and live on the birds, and you fail to take a gun and shoot the hawks, then you are not using the brains God gave you. : If-your clothing wererto become infested with vermin or your ^dwelling With- rodents, you would destroy the insects- or animals .that were* troubling you. Yet (if they were consistent in their argument) these people would have to maintain that in doing so you are "upsetting Nature's balance", since God created all these creatures at the same time. Or how about the fly, carrier of typhoid? Do you control it or,r preferring not tto disturb "Nature's own'Viet it live? Personally, I am glad He gave man "dominion over all*' these things. Indeed, one is moved to ask the question, What would. our animal world, our farms and orchards and gardens, our whole world, be like if man had not assisted Nature? Yet the very minute the white man discovered this continent, came ashore, cut down a tree, and began to develop North America into a- garden/ for hundreds of millions of people, that man, according to some, disturbed the balance of Nature. As for me, I thank God for all He made, for the raw materials He gave us with which to work; that He made us In His own likeness, after His own image, and endowed us with sufficient brains to develop those raw materials and keep on discovering and bringing within reach of us all the blessings He created. To illustrate my meaning, allow me to quote the poem, "Making a Garden," written by Ida M. Thomas: ' Man ploughs and plants and digs and weeds, He works with hoe and spade; God sends the sun and rain and air, And thus a garden's made. He must bo proud who tills tho soil And turns the heavy sod; How wonderful a thing to be In partnership with God! I say, He wants all of us to bo partners. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON SEPTEMBER^ LYDIA AND PRISCILLA (Christian Women In Industrial Life) Golden text: Give her of the fruit of "her hands; And let her works praise her in the gates. Proverbs 31: 31. * ���������' Lesson: Acts 16*11-15; 18:1-3, 24- 28; Romans 16:1-6. ^ Devotional Reading: Proverbs 31: 10-31. Explanations And Comments Lydia a Merchant at Philippi, Acts 16:11-15. After receiving the call * to "come over Into Macedonia and help us," Paul and his company sailed from Troas to the island of Samo- tbrace, thence to Neapolis and then on foot nine miles inland to Philippi. This city was a Roman colony, and claimed the distinction of being "the first of the district." We know that there -was great rivalry among cities for that title.' Evidently; the city had no synagogue, or Paul would have gone there when the first Sabbath came. He supposed he would find a place of prayer * by the river side (as was customary), and going there he was not disappointed. He met there a company of women, among them a prosperous merchant 'named Lydia. She was from Thyatira and dealt in purple- dyed garments. She must have been a Jewish proselyte, for it is said that "she worshipped God." Priscilla (a Tentmaker at Corinth, Acts 18:1**3. From Athens Paul went on to Corinth, and there found a home with Aquila and Priscilla, Jews who had lately come there from Italy because they had been driven but from Rome by the Emperor Claudius. They were tentmakers like himself, and he lived and worked with them at this trade. . Priscilla, a Teacher of Apollos at Ephesus, Acts 18:24-28.. After spending eighteen months at Corinth, Paul departed for Jerusalem. Priscilla. and Aquila accompanied him as x far as Ephesus, where7they settled. A? little later a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He is "mentioned again in *Actsl9:1,1. Cor. 1:12; 3:4-6; 4:6; 16:12; Titus 3:13. He was eloquent and mighty in the Scriptures and taught in the synagogue about Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John; that is, he had been instructed and baptized by the disciples of John the Baptist, and while his knowledge of Jesus was accurate as far, as it went, it was somewhat limited. Priscilla and Aquila heard him, recognized his earnestness, his fervency of spirit, and also his defects, and taking him home explained? to him the way of God more accurately.

For the first time balconies had been provided on the front elevation to a number of living rooms and the horizontal treatment afforded greater window area. Since the armistice no fewer than 2,670,500 new houses had been built in England, said Sir Kingsley, and tho capital cost involved and derived from the state, the*) local authorities and tho private capitalists during * that period amounted to $9,000,000;- 000.

This Robin Was Clever MISS ALADDIN ���������By-��������� ���������Christine Whiting Parraenter Author Of ���������"One Wide River To Crosa" "The Unknown' Port". Ste. SYNOPSIS Nancy Nelson is a sub-deb, a gay, irresponsible girl of nineteen, with no care beyond the choice of her costume for her coming-out party. Suddenly, in the market crash, her Indulgent father loses all he had, and his family is faced with the necessity of a simpler method of living. At this ? juncture a letter is received from an eccentric relative in Colorado, who offers the girl a home on what seems to be impossible conditions. '���������-'���������?-' '���������Y'T"L''T After much consideration Cousin Columbine's offer is accepted, and Nancy and Jack arrive at Fine Ridge. iSTancy set out one- afternoon to climb to the top of a hill so as to obtain a View of the surrounding landscape and misses the path Aurora Tubbs had told her to follow. A truck comes along the Troad, driven by Matthew Adams, and she asks him -which way to go. " They ascend the hill, look around, and? thenYgo on to Cousin Columbine's. There Mark Adam tells Nancy that his brother L>uke has broken his leg, and that Jack Nelson has-been hired to help out while Luke's leg gets better. With Jack away, Nancy finds that she is lonesome, and having no books to read, the idea of starting a public library at Pine Ridge seems a good one, and Nance writes home to get her parents to send all the books they could spare and all they could induce others to let them have. Nance and Matthew Adam .go Christmas shopping in a neighboring town. On their return to Pine Ridge, Nance is amazed to see the Columbine residence all lit up, and asks Matthew if he knows why. He said: Let's go in and see. Then Nancy learns that she is having her debut, but in a different setting than had been planned for her in Boston. Nancy's parents and friends gave their liberal support to her request for books, and a sizeable box arrived in due course. Father Adam, painted a sign for the library, and the Adam boys worked on the shelves for the books and decorations to make the room look presentable. Now Go On With The Story CHAPTER XV.���������Continued kittens!" This was. Mark pausing as he adjusted a crooked window shade. "They had blue ribbons 'round their necks and extraordinarily long whiskers! But these are good photographs, Nancy. -They'll add a literary touch to our decorations." No wonder Nancy felt a thrill of pride at the result of her planning I Out of what a few short weeks before had been a'; Jbaxe and useless room, had blossomed this cheery little place; and already the people of the village were asking if it was job hunting, couldn't be opened every, night. Ten days ago they had had their "house- warming," with hot '������������������, chocolate and doughnuts for refreshments���������a party which even Victor Tubbs had roused himself sufficiently to attend! This had been on a Saturday, and the minister who conducted services in the Pine, Ridge church twice every month, arrived in time to make a apeeeh. Nance hadn't counted cn that; but it was a good speech and she liked the minister despite the fact that he referred to her as "our dear yoimg benefactor/' Indeed, at this point in his address, Jack had been stricken with an attack of choking, and at least four Adams had winked in her direction; while the sophisticated Nancy Nelson had felt her ears grow scarlet with confusion. / .������������������' Nancy smiled at the -memory. She was feeling particularly happy this afternoon for good news had arrived from home. ' Dad was making a new start with a splendid firm, and had been offered an unexpectedly good price for the city? house. "In some ways it's a wrench to give it up," wrote" her mother, "but we can't lose this chance; and in any case we shall stay-in Edgemere for several years. Phil loves his school; and I am loving the life of a country pathetic incident, "that I've been too thoughtless to look up those people and see their *. needs: But so many sick folks come and go that we take them too much for granted. I'm ashamed of myself. No -wonder they call you Miss Aladdin!" Steps sounded without, and Nance glanced up. It was not yet two orcloc"*c, but someone was coming. Then the door swung back to admit har brother and Matthew Adam. Luke was about again now; and Jack "Any luck?" asked Nancy, as the boys drew up two gay red chairs.

BTOYMADE-IN- CANADA GOODS Culled Man To Help Rescue Mute From Snake The story of a robin which culled a man to rescue its mate from tho Jaws of a snake was told Friday. Gcorgo Swan, attracted by a bird Ecreaming and flapping against the back door of his home, wont to investigate. The robin flow away as ho approached, appearing to call him ou, and Swim followed. It led him to tho end of tho garden circling closo to the fence, calling loudly. Thoro In tho grass Swan saw a .snake';'���������with another robin in Its mouth. Ho killed the three-foot reptllo with a stick and tho two birds flow away to-jotti'ir. 21.1.4 ?To' the 'natives tof PM������ Ridge- ths Aladdin. Library seemed% -wonderful enoUgh^as it? was. ".Amhd how every one of those blessed Adams had worked!" thought Nance with gratitude. Father Adam's neat lettering adorned more than three hundred books which Juanita and Mary Taylor had helped her cover with, brown paper. They had had fun over it, too. Some of the work was done on winter evenings when Jack and the Adam boys had joined them, as well as a good-looking forest ranger who appeared at church one Sunday, and had contrived to appear at the Nelson mansion at frequent intervals ever since! Mother Adam made and donated cretonne hangings for the windows. Matthew and Mark had built tbe shelves: low shelves which girdled the whole room, made from lumber they "just found lying around the place," and stained dark brown. Even John, busy at school, appeared one week-end with a dozen books; and Luke painted four chairs found in the schoolhouse. Transformed a cheerful Chinese red, these proved such a success that he insisted on painting Nancy's "desk" as well, and a table for magazines found in Aurora's cellar; while his mother sacrificed a wicker porch ehalr, cushioned to match the hangings at tho window. "This place would be almost cosy li it weren't for the bare wals," sold Mary Taylor. "But don't you mention the lack of pictures before Juanita. No knowing what Impossible contribution she might bring in!" Nance smiled, and answered: "I'll forage in Cousin Columbine's attic. I saw an old engraving of Lincoln up there the other day." There was also one of George Washington; and Mary ��������� appeared that afternoon with what she said hor mothor called "a yard of authors"; photographs of tho New England poet**) framed In oak. TDvo Adams laughed whon she saw this offering. , "It bring things back, Nancy. Stored in our attto Is a yard of roses; and'wo had a yard of kittens in the nursery. , That idea used to bo all tbo rugo." "GogY Mum! I remember thoso town again. It's 3 such a joy to see your father his cheerful self once more. au.c������*o tui&R'ua -luimiua juavc brought him. some grey hairs; but he's happy and interested now, and wondering if you're- not almost ready to come home. ..." Home! The girl drew a long, long breath. It would be wonderful to see Dad and Mother and Phil and the aunts, and all the old crowd, of course; but? Cousin" Columbine was goingf to miss tier frigbtf-uUy. And sbe couldn'-fr leave until the library Was running smoothly and she found somebody to fill her place. Nancy leaned forward, lifting a child's bank which was placed on her desk for voluntary contributions, and smiled as a reassuring rattle met her ears. The first donation had come from a small girl who said, as she dropped in a shining penny: "It's to help your library, Miss Aladdin." Nothing had ever pleased Nance half so much as this jnnocent mistake in her identity. Matthew Adam, who overheard it had thrown her a smile of appreciative understanding; while his father was sor delighted with the appellation that he'd addressed her as Miss Aladdin ever, since, The bank had ffourlshed. Yesterday Juanita had contributed the price of three confession magazines, and was really enjoying- sonie decent novels. Two boys from a nearby ranch whom Nance had supposed little jbetter than morons, wero devouring good travel books; and the wife of a health-seeker two miles back of the village, told Nancy with tears in her eyes that it seemed "'Hko heaven" to have something to read again. "And to think," said Cousin Col Matthew nodded. - "Your kid brother seems to profit by the misfortunes of others. Luke breaks a leg, and Jack gets his job. And now iny "Uncle Tom (Mother's brother, who has a ranch out on the plains), is down with flu along with two of his men, and has sent an S.O.S. fcr one cf us fellers to help them out. Mark's drawn the unlucky number, and Jack's going back to the ranch again to take his place." "Well J" said Nance. "I'm sorry to have Mark go, of course, but it's marvelous for Jack; and sometimes there are complications after flu!" "A lot of sympathy you have for Uncle Tom!" grinned Matthew. "Nancy laughed. Y ' 'T was merely wondering how long the job would last. Time goes so rapidly; and some day -we've got to turn our faces to the "East, you know.1" Jack said nothing; and suddenly Matt's color rose. "Why���������you're not leaving us this spring, are you? ~ I���������I mean Miss Columbine said you'd stay a year!" "I know; but such a thought never entered our heads, Matt. And now "Dad's made another start I'm pretty sure they'll want us to come home. Not that I don't dread leaving Cousin Columbine. I'm awfully afraid she's going to miss us.". Jack, still silent, arose and went over to a window. Matthew sat looking into space. "Some���������some of the rest of us will miss you too, Nance," he said surprisingly. "There's Mother and���������and���������" | Nance laughed outright, and asked, eyes lighted with merriment: "VVhy spoil a pretty speech like that, 3_latt?"/ ���������" "������.-." "Spoil it?" Jack came back, grinning, and slumped into the cushioned chair. "She means, old man, that this was no time to mention rMother! Honest, Nance, have we got ^ to go home this spring?" "You don't want to?" questioned his sister. "Do you?" he countered. The girl was silent, looking down at the toe of Matthew's boot. "I don't know, exactly," she said at last. "I'm crazy to see every one at home, of One pad kills flies all day and -everyday for 2 or 5 weeks. 3 pads in teach packet. No spraying, no atit&iiktss, no bad odor.

Luke's driving hint to the Springs where somebody from Prairie Ranch will pick him up. He says he feels as if he were sentenced to Siberia, though it's the first time he hasn't jumped at the chance of going to Uncle Tom's! I���������I wonder why." m Nance smiled at this subtle compliment, and went to the door to watch the boys depart. There was a glimpse of the plains from her little porch, and as they lingered a moment the girl asked, her eyes on that undulating vista: "Does your uncle live right on the prairie. Matt?'"' The young man nodded. "Sixty miles out, in a big old rambling ranch house surrounded by cottonwoods���������a bully place. Thos* plains are wonderful, Nancy, and sometimes treacherous, too. We'll take you out after the weather's settled. No knowing what thrilling adventures we may have!"

But I wonder! If Cousin Columbine won't miss us even~more if we leave her in the fall. Spring's a cheerful time of year, you know; and she's getting old." It was Matthew's turn to stand at the window, from which, safe retreat he said over his shoulder: "You're going to leave a big hole In Pine Ridge, folks." "Well," observed Jack, "we haven't gone yet, feller; and don't they tell us that It's 'better to have loved ahd lost than never to have loved at all'?" He laughed, but Matt, still gazing at Pike's Peak, responded soberly: ���������"Whoever wrote that bunk was urnbino when the girl recounted this | feeble-minded," and added,, moving tenderness, bring us unto Thy reBt.
