Another day, a mother we know icked up a year-old baby, warm in - the nursery, hurried on her bonnet and coat and took her right out on a fifteen-mile ride in the car: That, too, was a' cool, windy day. I'm not oing 'to coddle her,' she said, "She + has to get used to the air," Still .another mother refused to pull a blanket up over Billy when she went in to inspect him at ten o'clock.

This,. he said, was rendered necessary by the pressure of the Government and the Central Bank for lower rates on Government loans. "These low rates," he explained, "have resulted in a drastic cutting down on the earnings of the chartered banks, which have been forced to reduce their rates to depositors, Based on the re- sults of the Bank of Montreal, it means that the depositors in all Canadian banks are receiving some $17,000,000 less per annum than they did when tho rate was 3%.

The last three weeks in Novem- ber are notable in Wales, During these weeks thgjannual "hiring fairs" are held, and farm and other em- ployes start on a new year. The mountain villages of Wales celebrate the coming of the hiring fairs with the "Parting of the Ways" festival to. mark the actual end of the yearly contract between the farmer and his hired 'hands and servants. "The occasion-is similar. to Hallow- e'en in the United States before in some sections it became an excuse for hooliganism. Every one at the tical jokes are played, along with games such as ducking for apples. Boys and "girls masquerade, -fn play tricks.upon the oldsters' sitting around peat fires. The hiring fair is itself serious. For example, in the resort and uni- versity town of Aberystwyth farm- ers.and young men and women ser- vants come in for the fair and as- semble under the Town Clock. Dur- ing the morning they occupy them- selves profitably by comparing notes with their friends on previous jobs. Meantime, the employers trade in- formation in the same way. It is considered an honor to be hired early in the day. As soon. as a bargain is struck, the servant in- volved leaves the Town Clock, sig- nifying that he no longer is on the market, The contract between farm- er and hired, hand . is considered inding as soon as the "ern" (a mall amount of money) has chang- ed 'hands. Wages are partly based on the barter system. The hired hand agrees to accept a pig or other stock, or a pafch of land to tend, 1s a part of his wage.

For 15 years or more the custom has been growing in United States but it has been slow to make its ap- pearance in Canadian stables. Our people do not approve of it; they say plainly it is a cruel thing to do to & horse, and it is. But there is the answer to all the: argument: "But don't you think they- look a lot better?" Yes, theve are men who are certain they can al. ways 'improve on what Nature has done. -There are men who might look a good deal better if certain opera. tions were performed on them. Some of them bulge much in the mia lie and probably they would look better if they were placed in a slicing machine and a goodly portion of their protrud- ing waistline were cut off. It would hurt, but "they would look a lot better." : May Defeat Rust Apex, Thatcher, and one variety known only by the number 716. These' names may . mean little to 'Canadians, but' they will mean a great deal to Western Canada be- cause they are varieties of wheat which will resist rust. Rust took 100,- 000,000 bushels off the yield in Can- ada in 1935. One westerner informed us within recent weeks that for the first time since "1928 it looked as though he was going to have a crop this year. Then came the rust and he had virtually nothing. He saw the black spots come on the stems of his grain, watched them grow and do. and sap the strength go the | over and failed to fill out. this year in a district s_bad, and it showed a bushels per acre, and ight 'and "clean, Mar. quis wheat grdwn in the:same areca yielded -only seven bushels to the acre, Finding a wheat which will re- sist rust is a better plan than trying to do away with rust, because -we doubt if that ever will be accomplish. ed, It is agreed by scientists that rust breeds on the barberry bush and the eradication of barberry would:be a large.order, = ~~ ° If Apex wheat does what Is claim- ed for it, then it would make an add- ed yleld in a bad rust year 'equiva. lent to the product of 4,000,000 mors acres of land. Better still it would give the farmers of the West a sense of security which they do not possess now. Up to the present all the farm. er could do when his flelds were at. tacked by rust was to watch the pro. gress of his own defeat. -- Petorbor- ough Examiner. : is running away - "HI.STEP TONIC TABLETS" vi eto you enjoy and ebtain good 'Mail 100 for generous trial packet (plus 30 postage); 6c for Big Value 'Box (mailea free), RL + & g n the face of -experi-- 'ed by the adoption and carrying out" The next World Boy Scout Jam. boree, it has been announced official ly, will be held in Holland, in the summer of 1937, The formal invita. tion was received at the Internation. al Bureau, London, from His Excel lency, Admiral J.

In restaurants and cafes' some cf which have to be open as usual at Christmas, there are waiters and waitresses and members of the kit- chen staff at work providing for the people who either have no honies or who, for some reason are away from them fer Christmas Day. At the hospitals and especially in the children's wards, nurses are bus- ier than at any other time for the patients must be more than usually well cared for in view of the fact to spend Christmas in a hospital ward instead of a more familiar living-rcom at their own homes. Quite a number of people go to bed on Christmas Eve without knowing how circumstances may compel them to employ the waking hours on the following day.
