"F. come here to find myself, it is | 50 easy to get lost in the world." That is the inscription over, the fireplace in a certain vacation lodge | tor girls conducted by the Y.W.C.A. It is needless to say that it it situat- | ed well out in the country, far away | from city noises. More than one philosopher has ad- vised us to know ourselves. But it is advice not generally followed and uot easy to follow. For it is more .easy to get lost in the infinite com- plexities of the modern world of | oities. Beset by the manifold affairs of business and friendship we scare-| 1y have time to make the acquaint- | ance of ourselves. Drawn into the whirlpool of daily routine, we are borne along without being able to determine .where we are goirg or where we should go. But the wonderful institution of vacationing was devised chiefly for the purpose of getting out of this too swiftly moving current of life for a little while. We usually say that we need a vacation because we need rest, but it is often not so much the need of rest that we feel as the vital necessity of thinking, of tak- ing stock, of learning to know that the most interesting person in the world is one's self. If you can get cut In the woods and fields, away from other human beings, or at least away from the crowds, you will have the best chance of improving this acquaintance. = Old Mother Nature can tell you more about yourself than any other gossip. THE FARMER'S CASE. In view of the sensationally high priges and wages of the present time, and the fact that almost any man you meet is ready to show facts to prove that the class to which he be- longs is suffering from these condit- ions, it is a rather stiff problem to analyse the whole thing. If one man is operating -at a loss and suff- ering from the stress of the present abnormal circulation of currency, it stands to reason that some other party or parties must be reaping the profit of the added expenditure. The funny part of it is that no man will admit that he is the lucky one. The wonderful increased activity of the farmer class in public affairs has occasioned much speculation and criticism as to their position in this | state of things. Needless to say) the farmers, like everyone else, claim that they are suffering rather than gaining. The majority of the people In the other classes have very grave doubts as to the reliability of their protestations ,and there is reason for this attitude.' A trip.through the rural districts, or better still, a few weeks spent among the farmers, will cause one to have many conflicting ideas run- ning through his head. Everv farm seems to have all those things in the line of human necessities which the city people have such a struggle to obtain, and furthermore to have them in abundance. Many of the farmers have all modern labour-sav- ing machinery installed and automo- biles are fast coming to be considered as next thing to necessities in sme rural districts. If you ask a fazymer what his income is, he fells you the amount which he has left after keep- ing the farm for a year and paying all expenses. If you ask a city man the same question he tells you the amount out of which he pays all ex- penses and derives a profit, if the latter be the case. That is one side of it. - On the other hand, there are a lot of things about the farmer's life and work which people are apt to overlook. Perhaps he is a little canny in calculating his income, but one must remember that the combin- ed work of father, mother, sons and daughters, and sometimes a hired man is rewarded for the year's lab- 'or by that dne income. A city man does not consider the work done by his family as part of his own assets. On the farm this is invariably the case, There is one instance not far from this very town. On an aver- age-sized farm there are, all told, six people giving from (en to fifteen hours a day of their best effort. From the efforts of these six the farm yields what would be called a very good living for one man in the city. Of course they are comfortable, but they are economical. From another point of view, also, the farmer's life is not all a bed of roses. live he must work and work hard for a number of hours per day which would cause a revo- lution if our mechanics were forced to observe them. After a day's work hel does not feel like doing anything else and has very small means of pleasure if he were so inclined. His daughters must do without the pret- ty occupations and pleasures of their more fortunate city sisters. sons are more fortunate ,in that they ere subjected to fewer temptations, although foregoing many pleasures which are the daily routine of their fellows in the city. The farmers are waking up and His) tude ob vuirs na.» I THE" to sleep again. They are after a| { great many things and will secure | many of them, and on the whole! they cannot be blamed because, al-| though they are not nearly so down- | irodden as most would lead one to | believe, yet they have put up with | much for a long time and intend | to do so no longer. » Pa - "MARKET SCENES | i EE Pr Or EEE rE Er ttn. Market Day is a grand and demo- cratic institution, when the hardy [u.

The many gaudily- | decorated market baskets give a cer- tain atmosphere of Central Africa to | the streets, which atmosphere was ot lessened last Saturday through | | any fault of the thermometer, On | your way down town, if you are a | | little late, you meet people return- | ing, one carrying a nosegay of sweet peas, another lugging a pair of fine fat chickens, that would almost pass for turkeys, and fairly make your | teeth water to look at them, The square sgemed well crowded on, Saturday. A woman was observed making her way across the freshly sprinkled street with what appeared to be a side of lamb. too long for her, and the ribs seem- ed to sweep the pavement now and then, and bumped the curbstone as she stepped op it. But she wasn't our landlady, so the sight g¢idn't trouble us 80 much as it mightihave. It did recall ancient lessons df our public school days, when we learned that meat keeps better when kept strictly clean. Perhaps housewives, like the rest of us, are none the worse for calling their school lessons back to memory now and then. And yet the learning of the schools, can give them little help, aftér "all, In the preservation meat. Even Dr. A. P. Knight, well- known scientist as he is, would doubtless acknowledge that science has its limits. If faced by the prob- lem of how to make meat keep with thirty or forty hungry boarders clamoring at his table, he might well turn pale 'and flee to -the less ap- palling task of preparing mors school textbooks in hygiene. Having sald this much for our lady of the ribs, we may still indulge in the pious hope that she washed them well on reaching home. Even the hungriest boarder would con- s.der that it improved the quality of the meat. of pushing baby carriages, One lady, while trying to steer hers through a | narrow opening in the crowd, came | near meeting with a dreadful disas- ter. A man was standing on a step close by, with his back to the side- walk. Just as the carriage was pass- ing behind him he stepped backward somehow and lost his balance. For ore-twentieth of a second the by- standers had a horrifying vision of his helpless and rapid descent upen the baby. -~ '"There was silence deep as death, And the boldest held his breath For a time." But just before the final consum- the man's arm and pulled him back into safety. It is strange how unjust we mor- tals can be when taken by surprise.

Those who. have read "Two Little Savages' may remember that Guy killed hig first woodchuck in this very way, and a woodchuck is tougher than the average baby. till, it is wonderful what a baby | can stand. You have sometimes seen one being jolted along bolt upright in a little two-wheeled pushcart; on | coming to a corner the mother blithe- | ly shoves the cart over the curb onto | the paved road, where it lands with a bump that must jar about two inches off the child's growth, Yet the | youngster never whimpers. Yes, babies are tough; but it; is | well not to presume too far upon their toughness. A crowd like that lon the market is not exactly the sort of cool, airy, healthy place where babies thrive best. Besides, the car- iriages are in the way. True, many mothers could not get to market at all if they didn't bring their babies. But it is said that prices at the corner groceries are very little different. If they were higher, many fomilles could save the difference on movie tickets, until the baby grew bigger. It's worth considering, any- wav.
