Query of Sir James

Here is a story with a moral for telephone users. Hon. James Duff of Canada was in the habit of shouting into the receiver ,and one day Sir James Whitney, who was in his office nearby, asked what all the racket was about. .'
 "It is MT. Duff, sir" replied a clerk "He is talking with his wife up in Simcoe County" > -"1 < .@..t.. '." ,.
 "He is, eh ?" said Sir James. "Well, why on earth doesn't he telephone her, instead of yelling across the Province like that ?"-Boston Transcript.

ting off of the water supply. In win
ter coal shortage is real serious.
Yet there used to be entire years
when we never thought about coal
Those were the times when freight
car shortages were unknown, and mat
ters like hauling a wheat crop to mar
ket were not discussed in ordinary
conversation. Hauling wheat was a
job for the railroads, and we supposed
they would attend to it. We never
heard that it had the slightest connec-
ton with the matter of our getting
bread to eat. But nowadays every cit
izen goes to sleep with the car short
age on his chest. He never takes home
a loaf of bread without wondering if
there's another on the way west to
bring him another.
:. There used to be plenty Of houses
to live in, in this long ago. "A family
could even make a choice. That was
when lumber could be bought at lum-
ber yard and there were crafts en-
gagged in carpentry and masonry. Mer-
chants used to carry stocks of mer-
hcandise right on their shelves. All
they had to do was to order them
from the factory and they came right
along. Now they have to wait for the
factory to be built Newspapers could
get print paper in those days. 1t wa:

Jumping sidewise to let one crisis GO
by and running into another, the
thought will sometimes come, Viii
those times ever come back Will there
ever again be enough coal, and freight

The Eve-Less Farms.


Eayesdroppers are said to hear little
that is of benefit to themselves or any
one else, but occasionally one over
hears bit of conversation that tends
to prove otherwise. In the lulls of in
terest during a baseball game recent
ly two young men were discussing
work and especially work in the coun-
try. Much was said that was enlight-
ening about the conditions under
which farm labor earns its bread, but
ter and occasional ice cream, but the
man who was most against the farm
said: "No, sir! you don't see COM
panionable girl from one weeks end to
the other, most of the farm workers
are foreigners and not the kind you
want to waste your time with; the
people in the village look down on US
and the girls are all grabbed by the
city boys who drive out in their cars
every evening; we are regarded as
hicks and can sit on the fence and
whittle. Even at church we are more
or less patronized, and it doesn't look
good enough to. me to coax me out
again. What's the use of earning
good money if you haven't any girl to
spend some of it on?"
This is an angle of the agricultural
problem that has not been discussed,
but it sounds as though the man had
something in his argument to explain
particularly the reluctance with which
the worker approaches the farm. A
pretty girl to dress up for and to take
riding in the modern substitute for
the old-fashioned buggy is a boys
privilege whether ne is on the farm
or works in a city office. If this lack
of the girls is to stand in the way OF
tilling the fields and meadows, some
ingenious organization will have to
stir itself into coaxing, cajoling OF
bribing the desirable girl into trans
ferring her attentions to the farm
With a flock of pretty farmerettes
upon the premises the boys might be
inclined to lend less attentive ear tc
the seductive calls of TIE city sirens
