enormous crabs scurrying about,

Produce Review

The generally hot weather exist
ing throughout the country has caus-
ed more than a normal seasonal de-
crease in the total production Of
eggs, butter and cheese, and this
coupled with the good demand for
these products has produced higher
market values.
The movement of spring chickens,
as is natural at this time of the
year, is increasing.
Careful handling in the produc-
fion and marketing of poultry, eggs,
and butter by the producer, especi-
ally during the heated season, con-
tributes to improved products, bet
ter values, and better satisfaction
to the ultimate consumer.

Education. Rev. Mr.. Wonders said
there was vast difference between a
trained man and a trained mind. A
trained man could do one thing well.
but a man with a trained mind, II
given the basic principles, could de-
velop something without direction.
He said that too many parents send
children to school to get rid of their
responsibilities. However, they want
the child to be able to get out into
life and take his place as a citizen.
The speaker said that the fundament-
al elements in the Development of edu-
cation are the home, consistency and
piety.

Mr.. Wonders, Mr.. Harold Walker ex-
