And today's t^xt is drawn from the Book of Sad Experiences â€" and it reads, "If you're making any sort of a deal, be sure and put it in writing." * » * The law of contracts applies to^ practically every business trans- action in which you engage. This ie true in such varied matters as buying land, hiring a worker, sell- ing a steer, making a pledge to the ahurch, and joining a cooperative. + ♦ * One of the first things one needs Camping Is Vital For Crippled Childrens' Rehabilitation. â€" Tlii* is a view of one low of sliiiigled cottages, at tlie Blue Mouiilaiu Camp on tJeorgiau Bay, for crippled cliildreii.

This is so even if the document is nothing more than a simple memo- randum. The law requires only a few types of contracts to be in writing in order to be binding on the parties concerned. Mo.st oral agreements are legally enforceable. The practical difficulty, in case of dispute, however, is proviuii the provisions of the agreement. / « * « In case a disagreement readies court, a written contract is decided- ly better. The document shows in black and white what each p.irty agreed to do. But the true pro- visions of an oral agreeinent are usually difficult to prove. Written contracts are better for possib'e use in court. But they are even more important in preventing disputes, and thus keeping matters out of court. Regardless of which side wins a judgment, both parties often lose in a lawsuit. <i ^ * The principal reason for misun- derstandings over contracts is lapse of memory by the parties on tt;e exact nature of the original agree- ment. .\nother reason for disputes is the failure to reach at the start a full and clear understanding. This is not so likely to be the case if the agreement is written. The process of preparing a good written cnn- tract requires that the parties agree exactly on what each is to do. » * * '•..;.The second important thing to know about contracts is that they should be understood before they .*«^^#igned. When one signs his name to a document, he is legally bound to carry out its provi.sions. Except in unusual circumstances, sucl} as fraud, duress, undue in- fluence, and infancy, he cannot es- It Sure Paid To Advertise Not so many years ago, the Amer- ican Chicle Company dominated the chewing gum field: William K. Wrigley, Jr., had been able to get only two per cent of the business. Then Chicle reduced its advertis- ing program in order to maintain dividends, and Wrigley saw his chance. Borrowing freely, he used the money for advertising, and im- mediately began rising to the top. Chicle made a valiant comeback attempt when it realized what had happened, but it never regained the supremacy which Wrigley had cap- tured â€" through consistent advertis- ing of his product. cape responsibility for performance. He is not excused because lie did not know what he was signing. And it is no excuse that he signed a con- tract which differed from repre- sentations made by the other party in getting him to sign. The written instrument is the sole contract. * * * So a person should always read a contract before signing it. This applies particularly to printed agree- meius that itinerant representatives present for signature. It is too late when you read the instrument after it lias been signed, only to find objectionable provisions, perhaps in fine print. Many such contracts are unnecessarily and purposely written in terms that cannot be understood by the average person. In these cases you should either refuse to sign or get an interpretation from an attorney before signing. Doing the latter will cost you less money in the long run. In signing a contract, be sure you keep a copy. No honest firm or in- dividual with whom you deal has any objection to having two copies prepared and signed, with each copy defined as an original. This will make reference convenient. .\nd it will be a protection against dis- honest persons' altering the docu- ment later. This is sometimes done ,by filling in blank spaces, typing in additional lines, or erasing and sub- stituting other material. Finally, copies of contracts should be kept in a safe place where they are protected against fire, theft, and misplacement. The best place is a safe'-deposit box in a bank. It is surprising how many people leave insurance policies, other contracts, wills, bonds, and other important documents unprotected in their homes. Often they forget just where the papers are filed. It the house catches fire or is hit by tor- nado, the papers may be lost. For a small charge, this danger can be avoided. • « « But of course the mere fact that an agreement is in writing does not insure that the contractual relation- ship will be satisfactory. Such har- mony grows largely out of business dealings between reasonable persons. If a choice is to be made, it is better to have an oral contract with an honest person than a written one with a dishonest person. GD££N THUMB GARDEN NOTES KEEP THEM HEALTHY The be.st protection against in- sects anci disease is a healthy gar- den, grown from good disease-re- sistant seed, well-cultivated and free from weeds. Bugs usually lurk In weed growth waiting until the garden stuff is big enough for a raid. For those bugs that eat holes in the foliage use poison. For those that suck out the juices and make the plant wither use a spray that will burn. Disease usually hits the plant cells and causes withering or rot in blackish spots. Chemicals like sulphur are used in this case. Often one good treatment will be enough, but with things like leaf hoppers and potato bugs which lay eggs, two or three successive treatments to get the young ones will be need- ed. Most chemicals lose their pot- ency in time so a fresh supply each season is advisable. A CUTTING GARDEN Often a corner of the vegetable garden or some place at the back of the lawn is set aside to grow flowers especially for indoor bou- quets. Sometimes when a large sup- ply of blooms are wanted for this purpose it leaves the regular bord- ers a bit shy. .A.ny of these flowers suitable for cutting purposes will thrive on the same sort of cultiva- tion, etc., that the vegetables get. Certain flowers, indeed, like glad- ioli, sweet peas and others of which the foliage is not very attractive are best grown under these condi- tions. DON'T BE AFRAID TO THIN After the pmnts are up a most important job will be thinning and spacing. This is vital work and applies to either flowers or vege- tables. Crowded flowers will grow thin and spindly, will not bloom freely and the biggest plants will topple over in the first storm. They should have half as much room be- tween as they will grow tall. This means about 4 or 5 inches for things like nasturtiums, less for alyssum, much more for tall mari- golds, cosmos or spider plants. With the smaller vegetables, a aouple of inches between plants ia sufficient. This applies to leaf bt- tuca, early carrots, beets, etc. Beans and peas should have from 4 to A Inches between plants, and as all the seed usually germinates it should be planted about this far apart. Rows should be from II inches to 2 feet apart. Corn is us- ually planted from 3 to 6 seeds to a hill, about 18 inches apart each way, or rows 2- to 3 feet apart. Tomato plants require at least 18 inches each way, melons, squash and cucumbers three plants to a hill, and hills about 2 to 3 feet apart. MUST HAVE RIGHT SEED No matter how favorable the weather or how rich the soil re- sults are sure to be disappointing unless one uses good seed. This costs but a few cents a packet but it is vital to success. It is also vital to use seed that is suitable for Cana- dian conditions. Something that niight give wonderful results in the South or in Europe may be far too tender when planted in Canada. On this account it is advisable to stick to purchases from Canadian seed houses which only carry seed tested and approved by Government offi- cials for Canadian conditions. GARDEN SCREENS At the back of the flower beds, along the fences or in place of fences one can use growing screens. These may be in the form of per- manent hedges, shrubs, vines or high-growing annuals. Even a fence or wall in good condition will look more attractive if partially hidden in this way, and as for the more common type which is not so at- tractive it can be completely screen- ed by annual or perennial vines. There are all sorts of planting material available for this purpose and found listed in any good cata- logue. The perennial types are well known. Many people do not realize that one can get quite good and quick results from annuals too. Dahlias, ornamental sun flowers, cosmos, spider plants, are otily some of many things that will reach three or four feet in height in a few weeks. And there are quick-growing vines too, like scarlet runner beans, sweet peas, hops and morning glories. mmmm, iSOPSON By Rov. R. Barclay Warren JesuB Declares His Authority Mark 11: 1-11, 15-18. Golden Text:â€" Blessed is he that oometh in the name of the Lord. â€" Mark 11:9. It was a great scene. Jesus, seat- ed on an ass's colt, comraandeeroA for the occasion, rode into Jerusalem. The pilgrims gathering from far and near for the annual feast of tha Passover swelled the population ot the city. To the disciples this seem- ed to be the beginning of the king- dom. The spirit of rejoicing waa contagious. They spread their gar- ments and branches before the ad- vancing king. They waved palma and shouted, "Hosanna; Blessed ia he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Blessed be the kingdom of our father, David, that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest". He revived their acclaim. To the Pharisees who requested that the noise stop, lie said. "If these should hold their peace, the stonea would immediately cry out." But five days later Jesus was led out of this city to be crucified. How fickle is public opinion. Why this sudden change. The key to the answer is found in the second part of the lesson. Jesus clashed with the religious authorities. On Monday, the day following the triumphal entry, he "went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple. Religion had become a "racket" Those who sold the sacrifices to the pilgrims and chang- ed their money no longer souglu to serve but to derive large profits which went to the leaders of the priesthood Jesus said: "Is it not written, -My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves." The scribes and chief priests feared Jesus and the effect of His teach- ing. They planned to destroy Him. By subtle and skilful agitating they were able by Friday to muster a mob crying for his death. Jesus ex- posed their hypocrisy, and who can be more bitter and vindictive than a religious hypocrite? We may find fault with religino as we see it de- monstrated but of the Holy Son of God, we must join with Pilate say- ing, "I ftnd no fault with him at all."
