They used to say that long skirts gathered germs. Now we wonder if short skirts do not Increase the a- mount of eye-strain in the country? Some of the biggest gas men in the country are engaged in the newepaper business. The only way you can tell gas from hot air is to light a match to it—and run. . Children learn by doing.

So the merchant who fails to speak up for himself @y advertising, is not likely to get far. Many dwellers in cities and towns cannot eee anything in the life of a farmer. They think most of hot days in open fields and the hard prork connected with living in the untry. . They fail to see the joys of cool, fresh, unpoluted breezes, the head- ing grain, the tasseling corn, the oomradship between man and beast. And they do not see the greatest of all the joys of country IlIife—the gest of the conquest of the elemente a contest ee: the favor of nature, ‘that goes on season after season to feed the people of the world and make happy the families in thé towne and cities. =a Parents are frequently urged to Gre an interest in the public and igh school of thelr community. But why parents alone? Every interest in the town is affected by our schools.

We really enjoy only the things which we our- selves make or earn. “When you get married be con- tent.to start fn a -humble way, as your parents ‘did. Don’t try to start where your parents now are, “Honesty is not only the best poticy, but it is the foundation of civiljzation.” “The time to gave money is when you are making it.” “Keep out of debt. Be generous in giving; but avoid accommodation loans, and never endorse. “Boost the other fellow and he will boost you, as we are usually re- paid with our own coin—and judge not. “Don't try to buck either the Ten ‘Sammandments or the Multiplicat- io&. Table.” - T year ‘has. certainly great year for Canada. The many events of the year have combined to give our Dominion a great deal of publicity, and the attention of the world has ben focused upon us. The domestic business has reviv- ed throughout the country, and in- dustry {s booming. Capitalists of Britain are showing interest in Can- adian opportunities for investment, principally in mining. Prominent men predict that before long Canada will be the centre of gravity as re- been a gards the production of gold not only in the British Empire, but of the world. The visit of the Prince-of Walee and Premier Baldwin focused atten- tion upon Canada. A New York writ- er commenting on the Prince of Wales visit, describes him as_ the Empire‘s greatest salesman engaged for the moment in “selling the Brit- ish Empire to Canada.” Ths biennial conference of World Federation of Educational Associat- ions brought hundreds to Canada this summer, as did also the World's Poultry Congress. The Tri- ennial Empire Mining and Metalurg- ical Congrese brought distinguished scientists to our country and they gained great insight into our vast mineral resources. Poesibly more important than any of these gatherings wae the visit of a hundred British Journalists. This will prove a great advertisement, to be impressed with Canada and to write about those impressions. Lights on Vehicles Required By Oct.

A King that is not above the level of his people cannot lift his people. Saul was the people’e choice —to their sorrow. In the old age of their prophet Samuel, who had rul- ed them righteously, they demand- ed a King “like all the nations,’’ and fin so doing ‘God said: ‘They have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.” God warned them and then let them have their .way, a6 Hj often does with us: But H gave Saul every opportunity to make good; and Saul made a good beginning. He had the qualities that men admire; he lacked what God required. 7 2. Samuel's Farewell. (I. Sam, 12.) The old prophet Samuel was never a King, but he was a righteous judge and guide to his people. In his valedictory he laid before the people the way of blessing and suc- cess, if they would “fear the Lord. and serve Him, and obey.His voice.” He declared the way of failure, re- bellion against the commandment of the Lord. And he promised ‘not to sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for Israel. His counsel, he said, was for both King and people. 3. Samuel Anoints, David. (1. Sam. 16:1-13.)

His doom was sealed, although God allowed him to continue seven years longer as King. Meantime (at the beginning of Saul’s last seven years) God directed Samuel to an- oint His choice for the coming King and taught the lessen that “the Lord seeth not as man e@eeth; for man looketh on the outward appear- ance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.” An unknown inconspicuous! young fellow was called from the task of tending sheep to be anointed for the throne.
