The Least of His Troubles Last year, writes a ontributor lo Tbe Youth's Companion, when I relurned to the country town wbere I spend my summers I was astonished to find Uncle Ezra, a jolly old native, failing rapidly after a shock he had suffered tbe winter before.

Stewart Government Resigns and the Farmers Will Shortly Rule in the Prairie Province Ways for Girls on Farm to Make Money When a city girl feels the need of money—her own money, to pay for tbe things girls imagine they must have tbese days—she goes to Work in an office, a store, or a factory, according to ber education and opportunity. In tbe country a girl, with much the same longing for niee things and "good times," looks to the poultry yard, tbe m'lk bouse or the garden for her spending money. If ber parents are tbe right kind, if they are intelligent enough to belp her and encourage her in her work, Bhe will soon establish herself as a semi-independent member of tbe family. If, as often happens, the parents ars not disposed to bave sucb goings-on, and there is no home-demonstration agent, no girls' club, no extension work of any kind in tbe community, the country girl goes to the city and the farming regions have lost one more potential home and family.
