Water Holes In Pastures
was a rather big bail of pure ants.
I took a twig and cut them apart.
There was nothing in it but ants.
They scattered everywhere, making
no effort to reassemble.
I wondered then, and still do, what
that was all about.
When I was grown I was sitting
dreamily on the front steps on a
4th of July afternoon. For years we
had had the largest black ants there
I have ever seen before or since.
They were fully a half-inch or more
long. They were always busy, but
• bothered nothing. And you could see
them anywhere you looked in the
yard.
On this afternoon I noticed they
were all fighting. You didn’t see
just one anywhere. It was invariably j

Polite Child
Makes More
Poised Adult
The child who learns his manners
earty is likely to grow into a less
self-conscious teen-ager and a more
poised adult. The best way to teach
him, Selma Robinson believes is the
good example of his parents. In Mc
Call’s she lists some of the marks of
the well-mannered child:
“Certainly the best school for
teaching children manners is the ex
ample of his own parents. If he sees
Father pull out Mother’s chair at
table and wait until Mothers lifts
her fork before eating, if he sees
Mother rise when an older person
comes into the room and allow the
older person to go through a door
first—if he watches such small cour
tesies at home daily he will make
them his own.
“The well-mannered child says,
“How do you do, Mrs. Smith,” when
introduced to Mother’s friend, look
ing directly into the eyes of the
stranger and shaking hands. He (and
all this goes for small girls too)
holds -the door open for adults and
allows them to go through first. He
says thank you for the gift before
unwrapping it, though it takes much
self-control to wait.
“He rises when a grownup enters
the room. Then the considerate
' grownup greets the children and
| suggests that they go on with their
; play. He comes to the door with his
hat in his hand, whether it’s his town
home or a home he is visiting. Ho
knocks at a closed door and asks if
he may come in, for he has been
taught to respect privacy. He tells
friend’s mother, “Goodbye, I’ve
had a lovely tme.” His pleasant mfi%*
ners make him an attractive guest
who will be invited again.”

How long will we allow the life-
giving water, that the Almighty is
sending coursing through our streams,
to go on to waste down its ancient
channels to the sea, while crops
parch and perish along their very
banks!
My answer to that question is, not
long.
Costs of pitching a crop are too
great to let the harvest perish from
drought, when the needed showe.-
can be economically plucked from
tne stream for many a field.
