Then he discarded some cards from the top of the deck, dealt the remainder into even piles so that the ace of dia- monds was top of the 5th pile. How many piles did he divide the cards into and how many cards did he remove from the top of the deck. Answer next week. Answer to last week's puzzle. No. 1--The Milkman Puzzle. He filled up the five gallon can, filled the three gallon can from the five and put the three gallons back into the eight gallon can, then emp- tied from the 5-gal. ean, which now contained two gallons, into the 3-gal. can, then filled up the 5-gal. can from the 8-gal. can, then filled up the 3- gal. can from the 5, thus making 4 gallons in the 5-gal. can, 1 in the 8 and 3 in the 3. No. 2--The Watchman Puzzle. He fired the Night Watchman be- cause he slept while on duty. sO MORE EGG MONEY A healthy flock of poultry is a laying, paying flock.

"Yes, a star gleamed overhead, But I couldn't read the skies, And I'd given every bed To the very rich and wise. "And she was so poorly clad, And he hadn't much to say! But no room for them I had, So I ordered them away. "She seemed tired, and it was late And they begged so hard, that I Feeling sorry for her state, In the stable let them lie.

THE NEW PREACHER Warton has a poet and like Bobby Burns he works ithe soil. When Rev. W. IM. Lee called on this poet the old man was delighted and in the mext issue of the Wiarton Echo the following verses appeared: One dav this new and Godly mage Upon us came a-calling, He found us all "En dishabile' Which was a trifle galling. There was dirt upon our shoes ' and pants And dirt our hands did harlen; The cause of all this dirty staff Was working in the garden.

SAYS YOUNG ARE SOFT iBluenose sailormen, descendants of these iron men who sailed wood- en ships 50 years ago, are a thing of the past, in the opinion of Cap- tain Angus Walters, skipper of the Lunenburg banker Bluenose. "The pleasure-loving generation of to-day are a bunch of softies,' commented the man who took com- mand of the Bluenose when launch- ed in 1921, and has helped her keep her title ,of queen of the North At- lantic fishing fleet ever since. Future of the fishing industry in Nova Scotia was threatened by a shortage of young men willing to dare the hardships and dangers of bank fishing, the Bluenose skipper declared in an interview. He did not know if this shortage was caused by prospect of poor returns from fish- ing or whether it was "just the ef- fects of our pleasure-seeking age." Automobile, radios, dance music and other distractions lured the young men away from the sea, he said, adding that the time was not far distant when Lunenburg's fa- mous fleet would put out to sea manned by alien crews. Already there was a fair sized sprinkling of sailors from Newfoundland and other countries manning the ban- "Kers. The veteran skipper recalled the days when the Lunenburg fleet numbered "more than 60 sail," and said that number had been decreas- ed to about 30 in the last few years. He predicted that unless progres- sive changes took place, the number would continue to decrease.

On wet days and snowy days, on days when there is so much house- work to be done, on days when you aren't feeling up to scratch yourself or when one of the youngsters is ailing, it's great to be able to shop by tele- phone. And on fine days too, and when everything else is going right, it saves you an endless amount of tiresome traipsing around. Make the 'telephone - your market basket. | f J
