Sent to a farm in March, 1948, the dog chewed through his leash after only two days of country life. Just one week short of a year later, he â- howed up at the door of his home after a 250-mile journey. This time, the twins will keep Snowball. ^1:3 :-^ -5'. .-^U'^^^y HRONICLES %ing£rIarm *^ OvcrtdoUrve P. Clo^rke Have 1 been busy this last week! Bat definitely â€" althougrh Ae weatherman tried his best to keep â- â€¢ thinking that winter was with •• ycL But I sai<l, "No, you can â- and as much snow as you like; '^en can drop the temperature down to icro; you can blow and bluster â€" kat I'm getting ready for spring." So I started in to houseclean. This was the result of a brain-wave which coiivi'nced me that a little iroom on the south side of the house, which for some lime has been a calch-all for every kind of junk there is, would serve a far better rotpose 15 a little hide-out for my- self. If you want a better name for it you might call it a den. an office or a study â€" but I'm calling it a hide-out. So many of these old farm houses kave a little room tucked away in a corner that would make a splendid playroom for little children, or a acwing room for mother after the children are grown. It is nice to bave a corner you can call your Qwn â€" just so long as you remember to have a comfortable chair for father so he can come in and read his paper while you sew or knit. It is fun to change things around ID your home â€" don't you think so? 1 do. I am always thinking up new ideas for re-arranging the whole liousf. But I never get very far because Partner generally t.-ikes a dim view of my proposed plans. Not that he is against improvements â€" lar from it .Asa matter of fact any worthwhile changes around here fcavf been the result of hi? careful planning. The trouble is we don't always agree on what are improve- ments. It is little things that Part- ner dislikes to have changed â€" such as having the bedroom furniture moved around. Men are such con- servative creatures. Just because a person has been used to waking up ta the morning facing the south, why should .iiiyone object to facing •ast or west for a change. V'ariety is the spfce of life. However, there were no objec- tions raised to my latest move, so I was soon at work â€" sorting out, tidying up or discarding the con- Klomeration of things that the room contained. What I would do if I had to live in two or three rooms I don't know, l^robably buy a chicken pen, or somcthfng. to take care of the overflow. My little liiile-out is only 8 feel \l \Wi but by the time I had water-painted the ceiling and walls and put three coals of paint on the woodwork my enthusiasm was on the wane. I knew 1 should give the walls a second coal, but I didn't. So I was not surprised when Bob looked around and said â€" â-  "Are you (ding to paint the walls?" There was still the floor to worry â- kout. My first idea was to paint k, but Partner was all for getting ^ c^ilgoleuni. Since that meant less work I was happy to agree. With the oilcloth down my tired- ness vanished. I got Bob to move 'Ay Tvpewriier desk: Parmer to fix a cupboard and a door, ^vhile 1 trailed back .tnd forth with naper>. kooks and my nuill til iig .abinct. Im a little while my new working centre was complete. Now f have moved in â€" an<i here 1 am at work with my typewriter. I have only one complaint with this new arrange- ment â€" it is just one more room in which to lose my glasses! Vow that I am all set with every- thing in one place maybe I shall feel more like wrestling with income tax returns â€" that being one little job which Partner very considerate- ly leaves to me. He says that is only fair when I don't help milk the cows. -•Vnd so with jobs oi houseclean- iug and income ta.x we come to thoughts of spring, .^h. yes . . . spring! The crows are flying all over the place â€" in fact they were when the snow was inches deep. You can hand it to the crow â€" he's an optimistic bird. Kx the barn spring has already arrived â€" my menfolk have six calves to wrestle with now. Of course with extra cows to milk we are getting quite a bit more cream. More cream but less money. Need I say why? Margarine ... of course. We ex- pected that, as you know. What we can't figure out is why butter should be down and milk up. It just doesn't make sense. If farmers are discouraged in selling cream then there should be plenty of milk. Probably just another of those problems to which noe one knows the answer. Dr. caring might glasses were rotic."

R. Barclay Warren The Future of Life lohn 5:25; I Cor. 15: 20-26; 11 Cor. 4: 16-5:1. Golden Text: But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept. I Cor. 15:20. While preparing a grave ou a point jutting into one or the numer- ous lakes of the Ottawa valley t'ae workers came upon the skeleton of an Indian who had been buried there many years before. With the bones were arrowlieads and otiier trinkets. There was mute evidence of a belief in a future life. Such a belief is well-nigh universal. Man has an instinctive longing for im- mortality. Cicero, the great Roman orator, said. "Yes, oh yes! But if I err in believing that the sou! of a man is immortal 1 willingly err, nor while I live would I have the delightful error extorted from me; and if after death I shall feel nothing, as some philosop'ners think, I am not afraid that some dead philosopher shall laugh at me for my mistake." Tile rising of Jesus Christ from the dead is the most triumphant event of all history. S. spear had been thrust into the side of his life- less body as it hung suspended from the cross. Blood and water gushed forth. The body was laid in a tnmh on Friday. .\ large stone was placed at the cave's mouth, sealed and guarded by Roman soldiers. But Sunday morning all powers, includ- ing that of death itself gave way before the mighty conqueror. "He arose. Hallelujah, Christ arose." This is the pledge that we too shall live after death. T'nis life is very brief in com- parison with the life to come. How important that we should lay up treasure in heaven. This life is just the place of preparation for the great eternity beyond. "Sow a thought, reap a word; sow a word, reap and acti; sow a:i act, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny." Let us sow wisely. Not long since, .\iiierican GI's began hearing Germans greet ihem with the cry, "Heil U. S. A.!" Tliis seemed very nice, the story goes, until Army Intelligence came up with the news that it meant: "Hail Unser SeHger .^dolf!"â€" Hail Our St. Adolf! £ WUG^ The blouse for Spring or Sum- mer Very new, with that soft- shoiilder look, tuck-in wai.stline.

'^ .Answer to CroMword Pnulc He It Risen But Mary stood without the sepulchre -weeping; and as she wept, she stooped down and looked into the sepulchre. And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. And they say unto her. Woman, why weepest thou?. She saith unto them. Behold they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. And when she had said thus, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus saith unto her. Woman why weepest thou? whom seekest thou?. She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, they have borne Him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him. and I will take Him away. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself and saith unto him. Master. HIDDEN ANIMALS In each of the sentences below yo'J will find the hidden name of some animal. Example; Do not critlciZE BRAvado too readily.

AS OTHERS SEE YOU Would you Hke to see yourself as others see you? A German inventor claims h« can arrange this. He has made a gadget vhat lets you see yourself as if in a mirror â€" but the image is the same , as ihtt seen by someone looking at you. In this "mirror" left is left and right is right, not the reverse ;u in an ordinary looking glass. If you held up printed words to ft thsy would be the right way around In- stead of backwards. Franz MuUer. the inventor, who Mrca in Bielefeld, says he has not yet found a name for his gadget "You can't call it > mirror." he said. He won't let anybody take photo- graphs of the device, which he says will be exhibited in the Germsi trade exhibition in New York.
