ClCk^rkc The wiieat is cut and stooked; th<! oats are ready for the binder; threshing has started in this dis- trictâ€"and the drought has ended. As a result the shrubs have taken on a new lease of life and the gar- den â€" what there is of it â€" has perk- ed up quite a bit. And, glory be, the cistern is full. Those really, are the high lights 0< the past week insofar as our farm activities are concerned. But I suppose our usual everyday work k still going on. I imagine the cows arc still being milked and the hens continue to lay egg^â€" in fact I am quite sure of it because I have the â- liik pails to wash and the eggs to clean â€" if it wasn't for that I wouldn't know because â€" well, we •tin' have our visitors coining and going and you know how it is â€" yon work a little, talk a little, cook â- seals and wash dishes. You take a inp here and there; go shopping, take in the odd show, and then when you come back it starts all ower again â€" work a little, talk a Bttle, get meals and wash dishes â€" so if it were not for the pails and the eggs how would I know what was going on outside? One niece has gbne, another is â- till here; still another brother-in- law arrived for the day; and our English visitor will be with us for another week. And, joy of joys, Daughter is on her way home. It is eighteen months since we have seen fcer â€" and that is a long time. How â- he is coming we don't know â€" rail, boat, road or plane â€" she didn't itnow herself the last time she wrote. But of course we are not worrying how she comes â€" ^just so kmsr as she gets here, that is all that aiattcrs. Yesterday I took our visitors lo the back of the farm to hunt rasp- berries. We got enough to give us a (ood feed for one meal, and they were very nice. Now I am wonder- ing if I dare mention a real berry- yicking expedition. Daughter al- ways says â€" "Just let anyone come around when the fruit is ripe and first thing you know Mother has tkern'off to the bush to pick berries." Well, why not? What could be a nicer change for city folk than a lew hours in the bush â€" that is pro- -viding they don't step into « ground-hog's hole or get bitten to death by mosquitoes.

I listened, and while the noise was quite famihar I couldn't tell her what insect was doing it. But I kept thinking about it and suddenly remembered that last year there was quite a lot written up in the papers about cicadas.^ So I looked in the encyclopedia and the description given exactly fitted the noise we had heard. Apparently cicadas are mem- bers of the locust family and are far more frequent in dry weather. Some species take as long as seventeen years to develop, others get around and do their chirping at various jtages of their development. So that is one more little item to add to our treasure house of knowledge . . . and will help to make us young- er. It has been said, you know, that you never grow old as long as you keep on Jearnirtg^ â€" anything at all, just so long as it is something new. According to that theory two of us here must be at least five years younger than we were a week ago ago because we not only learnt a little about cicadas but we mastered the art of tatting. Both of us had tried our hand at it ever so many years ago but had given it up as being beyond our comprehension â€" or maybe our patience. Now we tackled the job with greater deter- mination, and, with the aid of ouc niece, plus a book of instructions. We at least mastered the rudiments of the art. So, for the benefit of other discouraged would-be tatters, let me assure you it can be done. Apparently it is all in the tricky way that tatters have of letting the thread in the left hand twist itself with each stitch that is made. Well, from the sound of things, I think I have been typing long enough for the breakgast . dishes to be washed. There are times when this column provides me with a good alibi I It is also what happens when one has friendly, accommodat- ing visitors to entertain. But I mustn't overstep the mark â€" so here's where I say "goodbye."

Ever hear of an Abbot, a Crest- mobile, a Kelly, or a Rabbit? These forgotten names are but a few of the horseless carriages that chugged along Canada's roads more than 30 years ago. Back in 1915 â€" when 40 m.p.h. was fast, 50 m.p.h. was foolhardy, and 60 m.p.h, was for flying machines only â€" there were more than 180 different m^kes of cars in Canada. You might have taken your best girl for a spin in a Maxwell, a Moon or a Minneapolis, and it's a sure thing you wouldn't have had much competition for road or park- incr space. Although the automobile industry has made great strides in 30 years, the variety of makes has been cut drastically. Nowadays, car buyers have only about 30 different cars, imported or otherwise, to choose from. Of the many makes available during the first world war, only around ten car names have survived to this day. Corn on the cob is one of tihe many good things we look forward to in late summer, and I'm hoping that YOU are one of the lucky ones to be located in a part of Ontario where the "eating eorn" crop isn't ruined. {I'm not.)

Anyway, it's a picture of â€" and here's the recipe for Corned Beef and Potato Pie 3 Cups warm seasoned mashed potatoes 2 cups (one 12-ounce can), of chopped corned beef 3 cups com flakes, crushed 1 cup milk '/s cup catsup y^ teaspoon pepper yt, teaspoon salt METHOD: Spread mashed po- tatoes over bottom and sides of greased baking dish (8" x 8" x 2") or pie plate. Combine remaining ingredients in order given and mix well. Place corned beef mixture in potato shell, letting potatoes form border around edges. Bake in pre- heated moderate oven ^(350°) about 45 minutes. Yield: 6 servings. • ♦ ♦ And now, just in case you feel like â€" or have to do â€" a spot of bak- ing one of these days, I suggest that you try these: Chocolate Hermits y^ cup shortening y^ cup brown sugar y2 cup granulated sugar 2 eggs 1 cup plus two tablespoons of flour 1 teaspoon baking powder ya cup cold coffee 1 teaspoon cinnammi y^ teaspoon salt 3 cups quick-cooking oata (un- cooked) J<i cup chopped nutmeats 1 seven-ounce package ehoco* late bits.

Add to the creamed mixture, alternately with the coffee infusion. Add the oat- meal, and, lastly, the nutmeate and chocolate bits. Drop from a tea- spoon on a well-oiled cooky sheet and bake for approximately 12 min- • Mtes at 375°. Makes five dozen (or more) eookies. Want A Lot Of Gold? O.K. â€" Just Diar! Underneath the earth's crust is a "heart of gold," says Dr. Harrison Brown of the University of Chi- eago. In a recent physics seminar at the University of California at Los Angeles, Dr. Brown disclosed his belief that there is enough gold and platinum to plate the earth's entire surface several yards thick In a hitherto untapped source. The prospector seeking these bonanzas will not need the tradi- tional pick and pan. The faithful burro can be put out to pasture permanently. But a grubstake of giant proportions would be neces- sary. If Dr. Brown's theory is correct, a hole some 1,500 to 2,000 miles deep would be required to tap these rich deposits. He believes that most of the precious metals in the earth were concentrated in the iron- nickel core of the earth when it was formed. This has been determined, ac- cording to Dr. Brown, by the ex- amination of meteorites which he believes may be portions of a planet similar to the earth in properties. Should the prospector become discouraged at the thought of such extensive boring into the earth's center, he may prefer to look for uranium. This newly precious metal, says Dr. Brown, was deposited in the earth's outer crust. Jo MSOlOOl LESSON By Rev. R. Barclay Warren Festival Songs: Psalms 105:l-«; 118:19-24 Golden Text: Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, call upon His name; make known His deeds among th» people. Psalm 105:1. To appreciate the life of ancient Israel, one must remember that the large annual gatherings were relig- ious festivals. To our shame, we admit that at many of our great Kathering.i;. exhibitions, conventions, etc., not only is religion not the pr(.v.iiling motive and incentive, but religion is actually tabooed. Re- ligion ought to have first place in a nation's life. Religion is not a kill- joy. On the contrary, the pure re- lifrioii of Jesus Christ affords life's (' ' - ': riii'l pleasures. Psalm 117 is the shortest chapter • ,.c. iiiougli little in its letter, it is exceedingly large in its spirit, for bursting all bounds of race or nationality, it calls upon all mankind to praise the name of the Lord. Psalm 117 is one of the great Haltel jjsalms which was sung at the feasts. Accordingly Jesus and the apostles sang this psalm after the last supper. Matt. 26:30. Jesus was the rejected stone which was to become the head stone of the corner. 'We marvel to think of Jesus singing on this night a few hours before His crucifixion, "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rpjoice and be glad in it." But He sang triumphantly because He knew that the Divine purpose for the salvation of men would be ac- complished by His giving himself to bear their sins. If He could sing those words on such a day, then we should be able to sing them any day, for "No cross I bear could be like His, nor could I suf- fer such pain." One man had the verse placed on a cord on placed it where he could see It first thing each morn- ing. It is a good thought with wihich to begin the day.
