People are vacationists by nature but they harness them selves to their tasks through neees- sity or through avarice.* It is hard to determine whether too much or too little vacation is the greater evil. Concerning the vacations which are planned hut never taken, the following by Ira South in the Saturday Evening Post is both poetic and true: All men have hidden in their hearts A promise laid aside To some time tread the wander- ways • With careless chance for guide.

The host way to Imild up a town is for each and every man to pull together and not strive to rend and tear down. There is ample room in this vi cinity for several more industrious and progressive farmers.

The annual worry over the de preciations of neighbor’s ehickena in your new garden bed has begun. It is suggested to set a s'teel trip in the bed. catch the chickens and eat them. This practice might be hard on the chickens but as the lamented Josh Billings used to say, “It would save a heap of eussin’ that could be put to better use. * HOME INDUSTRY. Do we all patronize home indus try as we should? You don’t ex pect grass to grow without water; then you can’t expect local stores to enlarge their stock to suit your needs*if you don’t buy from them. We should have more co-operation between our merchants and their customers. Demand sooner or later creates a supply. If you want something you can’t get in your town stores, tell your dealers, trad ers. merchants; let them get it for yon. Give them the chance at least to fill the bill. With a little eo-op- (vrathm we will have neighboring towns giving us their trade instead of giving them ours.

THE VACATION DAYS. The vacation season will begin ■soon." The advantages of summer resorts in various sections of the land are already being sent in printed form to prospective tour ists. The rising of the mercury in the thermometer is a signal to the j toiler. It speaks to him of needed j recreation and seems to accentuate in memory the weariness and con tinuity of the labor of the past months. Vacation is more general ly observed than in former years. It is taken in the form of brief pic nics in rural communities and af- fords a season of relaxation and social enjoyment. The city man longs for the seashore or the moun tains as a refuge from the heat and a relief from the grind of business. Vacations are probably more popu lar than in former years because men labor under greater pressure and at the same time have less op portunity for diversion than form erly.- With most of us the vacation spirit is, a part of our equipment ai birth.'' We never get entirely away from the love of the fields and the water and the carefree ness of the days of youth. The va cation spirit endures, therefore not as a camouflaged form of laziness but as a ( form of transmigration Booth No. 2. Knitting Club: chairman to be chosen by them . Booth No. 3.
