DREAM.S ARE SHOUT Dreams are of a very brief duration in spite of the fact they sometimes seem to the dreamer to extend over long periods â€" hours or even days, ac- cording to a writer in the Detroit News. A few seconds may be the actul time of a dream that seemed to carry the dreamer through long series of adventures. Dreams have no sig- nificence whatever in the foretelling of the future. They are merely impres- sion pictures, in our relationship with existence.

No man would want his wife to act as do the other women to whom he makes eyes. A Scotsman was offered $25 for lii.« dog by an American, and $20 by an Englishman. He closed with the Eng- lishman's offer. The American was naturally surprised. '\Why did you let him have it for less money?" The Scot smiled dryly.

One of the animals, for- aging among a pile of tin cans, got his his head stuck in one of the cans and wandered on the highway causing a blockade of a dozen cars for more than an hour with motorsts afraid to ap- proach or rush by.

T t T T t T T T T t A CHURCH MADE FROM ONE TREE t The town of Santa Rosa, California, has a wonderful little church that was built entirely from one redwood tree. This monster of the forest was 18 feet in diameter, and produced 78,000 feet of timber, in addition to the thou- sands of shingles with which the church was roofed. As matter of fact after the building â€" which seats two hundred people â€" had been completed, there were still sixty thousand roofing shingles left over. The tree was about eight hundred years old. â€" ^Mon- treal Standard. too much fire insurance â€" ^but we'll sell you sure protection and quick service. H. W. KERNAHAN Flesherton, Ont.

Column FOR RENT â€" conveniences.- Apartment with all -J. A. Richards. Wareham W. A. (By Wareham Correspondent) 'Wareham W. A. met at the home of Mrs. Robt. Cole on Wednesday of last week. The roads were icy and the weather rainy, consequently the attendance was small. With the pres- ident, Mrs. Cole, in the chair the fol- lowing matters were discussed: a gar- den party to be held on July 2, to be rinnounced later; a donation to the Rod Cross through the Dundalk branch. It is felt that access to the Flesherton and Feversham branches is too difficult for Wareham women, so, although Dundalk is not in the same district as Wareham, most of the members felt that co-operation with Dundalk was advisable. In the matter of furniture and re- pairs for the parsonage, no definite decision was reached. The formation of a Women's Missionary Society was considered, but no action taken. Other matters were held over until a later meeting. A contribution to the devo- tional period was made by Mrs. Weatherall. The roll call at the next meeting is to answered by a quotation "ontaining the word "seed"' or "sow- ing." At the close of the meeting the "Kosy Klan," a group of girls under the leadership of Mrs. Wilfred Inkster, who have been busy making sleeping garments, gave an interest- ing exhibit of their finished garments. This project was sponsored by the Junior Institute. TO RENT â€" Good 5-room house near Eugenia. Apply to Mrs. R.
