whereby .the spirit of youth calls
the man awav from the tasks of ma-
turt? years. 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.
Bookkeeper, clerk and business
man
Will nod their heads and say:
“IT1 surely try a roving trip—
When I get time—some day.”
ed eyes,
... And absently they gaze
On half-forgotten hopes of youth.
And dreams of yesterdays.
But thi* comes up and that pre
vents :
Thus always runs the tale.
The man who waits on circumstance
Will never know the trail.
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. Good
land can he obtained and a hearty
welcome awaits the immigrant who
conies to make his home in this
country.
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 Community Bazzar

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
