Shades of cranberry sauce and
terrors of the green cucumber did
you ever hear the like of this? Some
friends of the contracting parties,
as they write in weekly newspa-
per, where the salary is only $500
per week, gathered at pleasant
home on Aqua avenue in beauti-
tul and enterprising city of Min
nesota, to celebrate the tin pan an
niversary of the marriage of their
friends who were the contracting
parties. The evening was passed
very pleasantly and the lady told
the guests that she would serve
some of the original wedding cake
which had been preserved in the
family archives. When the time
for serving the refreshments came
and the dishes began to rattle there
stole through the rooms dull
sickening odor which dimmed the
lights and caused the geranium
leaves to crinkle up and some of
the ladies to hold on tight and look
unconcerned. The odor was hides
cribable, it had a sort of sub
Egyptian tinge yet there was also
a strata of it that was domestic aud
familiar. At other times it had a
very marked Chinese air as it
crowded out the atmosphere and
rolled around from one to the other
of the guests. No one even thought
that uncomfortable cheese as the
fumes were so far above and be-
yond anything suggested by cheese.
So everybody joined in 1.-THE even
ing's game of guessing the odor,
three guesses to every guest. The
mystery was finally solved when
the original wedding cake was
passed; it was found that the cake
had been embalmed with moth
balls. Of course the little white
balls added to the appearance of the
sombre cake, but no one reached
for two pieces or asked for any to
take home to the children and as
soon as compatible with good man
ners the guests made rush for the
fresh air and their homes.

When man walks up to mer-
chants counter, asks for his goods
that he has to sell, he pays his
money for it and gets what he
wants. The newspaper man has a
stock of space to sell and it is practi-
cally the only source of revenue
that he has. Anyway it is the
principal one. It IS a business
proposition for the publisher to sell
that space to anyone who will pay
the price and asks for it. If he
cannot sell it at home the non-adver-
tiser in the community practically
forces the publisherto get customers
from the outside no matter how
much he would prefer to see it sold
to home patrons. 1t is not justice
or fairness to ask him to do other
wise as long as he is denied the con-
sideration that he is due from those
from whom he would naturally eX-
pect consideration. This position
is fair and consistent and cannot be
controverted by any sort of reason
able argument.

ORDINARY COURTESY.

1t would be harsh and probably
wrong to say that the man or
woman who while driving on a
country highway fails to nod at the
occupants of a passing vehicle is
not lady or gentleman. 1t is not
more than the truth to say that the
man who mods at passerby on the
highroad, possesses the milk of
human kindness. He may nod be-
cause he knows it to be the proper
thing to do. He may nod because
he is glad to see stranger in the
land, or he may nod only because
he knows the passerby. In any
event the nod is pleasant. 1t de-
notes the hospitality that is sadly
lacking in some northern COM
munities.
The man who does not salute a
passing driver may not do SO be-
cause he does not knew it is the
right thing to do. If he possessed
any love for his fellow creatures he
would do so anyway-just on
general principles.
The courtesy that prevails on the
ocean highways is the same courtesy
that should be an understood thing
on country roads. When one meets
a farmer driving to town with
load of hay it is pleasant to receive
a bow or single word. 1t smoothes
the way, it lights up the scenery
and puts ones mind at ease. Salute
the passerby; only bow or say
morning." don't size up strangers
as if they looked like highwaymen.
Remember the single and important
rule of country road courtesy.

City Clerk replies to T. E. Orion
and A. j. Wiedenbeck in another
column of this paper in a manner
which demonstrates that their
communications last week did not
please him very much. The Her
aid still sticks to the assertion pub
lished as a portion of the council
proceedings recently regarding the
clerks statement concerning the
purchase price of coal, and Mr..
Michaelis as much as acknowledges
it in his reply to Mr.. orion. It's a
good thing to stir up these NUM-
cipal matters now and then and let
the people know about city affairs.
The proceedings of the council were
never published nor was any paper
represented at council meetings
until the present editor of the Her
aid inaugurated the idea solely as
matter of news. Our reports of the
proceedings are always impartial,
unprecedented and reliable.

There is truth contained in the
beautiful lines composed by John
Howard Payne
BE it ever so humble
There's no place like home"
They were written from personal
experience. There is no pleasure SO
sweet as home pleasure, no pleasure
es SO full of genuine enjoyment.
Home should and can be made the
dearest spot on earth, sweet and at
tractive in various ways. Religion
in the home softens, purifies and
elevates character reforms and re-
gulates life. Cultivate a taste for
the good, true and beautiful. Do
not save the kind, loving words for
the stranger alone, but be generous
with it at home. The best of litera-
ture should be provided; books like
friends, should be few and well
chosen. The cultivation of flowers
affords happiness, and they lend a
charm to the quiet pleasures of the
home. Its environments should be
made bright, cheerful and pleasant.
Let discords be dismissed and peace
and harmony reign. Our home on
earth should be typical of heaven.
Music greatly enhances its pleasur-
es. In the sweet twilight hour how
enhancing to sit and listen to sweet
strains of music pealed forth from
the organ or piano by the artistic
touch of some dear loved one at
home. Home influence, when for
good and not for evil, is the best.
1t prepares us to battle with life
when the cold winds of adversely
Overtake us. Home should be made
an ideal spot with it's well-selected
library, sweet blooming flowers and
innocent games for out and indoors.

Emigrants from the United States
are not finding the land of fairness
they expected in western Canada.
The soil is poorer than that left be-
hind, the climate more rigorous, the
markets and social environment
less favorable The emigration boom

vertising but land sales and prices
have diminished as the truth about
the situation became known.

It's hard for a woman to make
herself believe that the man who

night.

There was debate at one of the
local clubs the other evening as to
whether or not social card games
and dancing and bowling are
wicked. The arguments produced
by the affirmative would be an in
suit to many OF our most respect
able citizens were the said argu-
ments not too utterly ridiculous for
consideration. Broadminded peo-
pie smile indulgently at the re-
ligiOus fanaticism which says tnat
keeping time with the feet to good
music is sin and that healthful
exercise like rolling balls at ten pins
is a crime and that people who
handle bits of pastebOard with
pictures on are in danger of hell
fire. Gambling is wrong. Bawdy
house dance halls are wrong.
Excess in anything is wrong. Do
not go to excess and you will be
just as sure of heaven as the long
faced brother who hasn't will power
enough to enjoy life for fear of 60
Ing to hell. Strong people are not
obliged to quit everything in which
weaklings go to excess. If they
were they would have. to quit eat
ing and talking and saving money

1t Fis too often the case that a

qualifications for public service in
terms of high appreciation without
quoting from the record that he has
made. This would indicate that
their claims are based on what he
can do rather than on what he has
done.
