AUNT ABBY.

Dear Social Corner Writers:--I think the whole Social Corner feel as Jim expressed his feelings in his last letter in regard to the passing away of dear Aunt Abby. We have all met with a great loss and I would sug gest that Brother Jim write some resolutions as the sentiments of all of the members, and each member who wishes to send in their pen name to the Editor or express their desire on a card, and the names be added 10 the resolutions and printed in The Cor ner.
 I think we would be willing to have our names attached to anything Brother Jim would write in regard to Aunt Abby.
 I merely make the suggestion. but feel that we appreciate her unselfish efforts for the good of The Corner. and that we shall sadly miss her in all of our Social Corner life.

A common used sirup is three quarts of water and two quarts of sugar, boiled to a medium thin, medium thick or thick sirup.
 This sirup is sugar and water boiled to dissolve sugar, but not sticky. Me dium thick sirup is that which has thickened enough to roll or pile up over the edge of the spoon as it is poured out.
 Medium thin is that which has begun to thicken and becomes sticky when cooled on the finger tip or spoon. Thick sirup is that which is difficult to pour out of a spoon. It may be advantageous to know these facts.

Some men have a habit of becom-

debt. Others pay, but pay grudgingly.
This is wrong, dead wrong. Debts
contracted have a way of coming to
payday. If it hurts so severely to

you can't pay, do the next best thing,

The farmer who raises an extra
hog the coming year will be just as
much a protector of his country as
will man who fires a cannon. The
farmer who raises an extra bushel of
wheat this year may, in so doing, be
as valuable in winning the war as is
the soldier on the battle front. Every
man must do his part. 1t is not so
spectacular a part, this part that the
farmer plays in the game; but it is
conceded to be an essential part, and
if that means anything it means that
his part, if neglected will cause the
loss Of all.

done our best, our dead level best.
If we did make the claim we would
be but common ordinary liars, for in
our heart we know full we'll that we
have done no such thing. We are
ready to make excuse for ourselves,
to be sure. We had such poor oppor-
tunities, we were not gifted as some
other individual was; We inherited this
or that or the other, and hence our
way to success was barred. All of
which is mere nonsense. We know
full we'll who is really to blame for
our failures, our lack of measuring
up to a high standard. We know
that the blame lies upon our own
heads. We were not willing to pay
the price in effort; we loved the easy
way; we failed to use the presented
openings; we just did not keep steadi-
ly, doggedly, unfinchingly on the job.
That's the true reason for our fall
ing short And when we face the
question squarely We come to feel
the sense of guilt and shame that is
justly our portion for our failures.

al
played in deep hole down in the
COW pasture and you thought it a
very big hole. You iourneyed fur
ther over towards the outer rim of the
big fenced in tract Of land and climbed
upon very big rock Big as Il
house, you adjudged both the hole
and the rock You finally, through
the process of years YOU grew to man
hood, you moved away from the old
home and the hole and the rock were
| rgotten-almost. But when you did
| think Of them, both remained in your
memory as big things. 1t was big
hole; it was a big rock that the pas
ture contained. After many years you
came back to the old haunts. Changes
you see all about you, yet things have
familiar appearance, too. Finally
you think of the boyhood play places,
the big hole and the big rock. Wend-
ing your way to these childhood de-
lights you look upon the "deep hole"
and, behold! it has Shrunk to a mere
skeleton of its former self. You pass
on to the "big rock" and, behold, it
has diminished to so great an extent
that you stand in amazement at its
base. You feel that it is so small
that you could leap over it, thus show
ing your contempt for it. Yet, in
your heart you realize that the hole
is just as big as it ever was; that
the rock is just as large as it was
twenty years before. Then you make
the startling discovery that it is in
yourself that the change has taken
place. You realize that your hori-
zon has widened your vision broad
ened during the twenty years of Jour-
neying to and fro and up and down
! In the earth. Perhaps you have looked
| over the precipice at Caesars Head
or down into the Grand Canon Of
the West. Perhaps you have looked
into the face of more than one tower
ing mountain peak or seen rocks that
covered acres and acres of ground
Your experience has given you a diff
ferent standard of measurement. You
have been familiar with big things in
a more vital more experimental way
than you ever experienced in the days
of boyhood. Experience broadens a
man, gives him bigger outlook
breaks down many of his cherished
memories. builds something bigger,
better than the thing destroyed.
One of the results of this process
is the increasing ability to form a
clearer judgment upon vital questions.
A man can see more than one side of
question sometimes a multiplicity
of sides to it. with the piling up of the
years. The cocksure spirit of youth
gives place to more cautious spirit.
The measurements need to be read
justed. A road appears to be far
shorter to a man of mature mind than
1T does to the child mind. Experience
has wrought the change. But while
the distance has grown shorter, the
way may appear far more dangerous
to the mature mind, for the steep prec-
ipice and the dangerous bog are moro
fully grasped by the mature mind.
Some times one wonders what the
experiences of eternity will be. Space

CHICAGO GRAINS.

CHICAGO, July 13.-Attention to possible peace moves turned the corn harket downward today after prices had touched former high records. Wheat finished unsettled, 1 cent off to cents up at 203 for July and 1941lk for September Oats lost ss to g., and provisions to 15.
 Until peace gossip began to domi- nate a majority of traders. corn was inactive. On the upturn September touched 161, the highest quotation yet for that option, and in the sample market No. ? white commanded 195, another new top record. At this stage rumors were circulated which led to much discussion of the chances of an early peace. General liquidation then set in. accompanied by aggres- sive short selling.
 Absence of trading in wheat at the outset was so complete that no quota ticns whatever were posted for at least an hour, circumstance said to without precednet since the board of trade was first established. Later a few transactions were witnessed.
 Oats paralleled the action of corn but kept within narrow limits. Provis- ions lacked any aggressive support.
