If you wish to make a favorable impression, if you want it to be read and remembered, it must be done by a quality shop and in a quality manner. We’re proud of our workâ€"the kind of work that has brought to us many an unsolicited testimonial. It the sort of printing that has produced results. While quality is the important issue with us, our un- usually low prices also are an inducement for you to have your Printing done here. We have “got out something” for hundreds of people, but not before we have been all over the preliminaries. Our “somethings” have beenâ€"letter heads, envelopes, bill- heads, statements, reports, pamphlets, posters magazines, labels, paper.

This was brought to my notice once in our early years of farming. It was a day of mishaps which began early in the morning and lasted well into the afternoon. One small misfortune piled on top of another until they loomed before me like a mountain. Now looking back across the years, I can hardly \remember the things which seemed so over- whelming at the time. I have a faint recollection of a line full of dingy looking washing, done in too great a hurry of cross children and a crosser mother and of threshers in the neighborhood likely to swoop down on us‘at any time, like a swarm of locusts as it seemed to me then; of a hot day and a garden which drooped in the scorching sun. And of an untidy house which I hatedâ€"hated completely and desâ€" perately with everything and everybody therein. So after dinner I put the baby to bed and gave the other two children bubble pipes and a bowl of soapsuds. And I ran away. I seized a hat and with a berry pail for an ex- cuse I ran blindly through a field, stumbling along as tears of self-pity rained down my cheeks; threw myself face downward in the long grass on a little hill and lay motion- less while my brain raced and throbbed like an overworked engine. After a long time I got up and, still feeling very sorry for myself, began to pick my berries. Then I happened to look down at the home I hated andâ€"how lovely it looked! I had never, in all my berry-picking wandered up this hill before and the View of my home was so different it made me gasp with astonishment. HO‘V pretty it looked, shining white against the dark cedars, tine vine clambering over the verandah and the sun setting behind it, throwing long, soft shadows across the garden. I could see the children playing happily with their bubbles, their nerves quieted simply by the removal of my own frazzled nerves and the washing, fluttering from the line looked from that dis- tance white enough to fill me with housewifely pride. The whirr of the threshing machine which had filled me with dread now changed to a gentle humming which told me that threshers were only neighbors who were coming in the good old fashioned way to help us prepare for winter. I picked enough berries for tea and strolled down the hill through the garden where now in the cool of the day the flowers were raising their drooping headsâ€"their troubles like my own had only been temporary. The children for- giving little things, were delighted to see me, the baby was awake, rosy and smiling after her long sleep. The old house welcomed me, it was still untidy of course, but as if it had been one of the children lifting a dirty face for a kiss I loved it because it was mine. I soon had a fire in the stove and a simple meal on the tableâ€"a dinner of herbs,, as it were, but love was there. And until my children read this they will never know they were once deserted by their mother who ran away from them with hatred in her heart, left that hatred in a little hill in a field and came back to them in a few hours loving them more than ever. This just shows what a new view point will do. If you can run away from your troubles for a little while climb a hill and get a good look at them from a new angle you will find that they are very small and perhaps have vanished altogether.

Now ‘what are you going to play to-day?” “Could we play in the creek all day and'have our lunch down there ?” they asked eagerly. “And build a New dam Jock. “And wear our bathing suits all day?” said Jeannie. It was a nice warm day so Aunt Madge packed a lunch basket for them and off they went. The stream wasn’t far from the house, in fact Aunt Madge could see them from the upstairs windows as they played, and they were soon busy at their dam. This was a favorite game of theirs. They built a dam about once a Week as each big rainstorm would fill the pond so full that the whole thing would be carried away. They ham- mered in stakes acrOSS the little stream and piled rocks and sods be- hind them until the dam kept the water back and the pond began to fill. What fun it was to Watch the water rise inch by inch, then launch little boats made of chips and watch them dive over the falls and sail away down the stream. MORE ABOUT THE TWINS They ate their lunch in the shade of a big tree and then went back to make clay marbles on the bank and dry‘them in the sun. “Won,t we get nice and brown be- ing in the sun all day like this?” said Jock. “Mother will be glad because our doctor says that a good coat of fan does children more good than all the nasty tasting tonics in the world.” said Jeannie. At last when the sun was getting low and they heard Uncle John calling the cows they collected their treasur- es and went home. They hurried into their clothes and began doing their little chores around the barn. But oh, how funny their arms and shoul- ders felt! They held whispered con- sultations in corners but decided that they wouldn’t tell anybody about it until morning. But when Aunt Madge went to kiss them goodnight she found twa eight-year-olds sob- bing into their pillows. “We kept our hats on so our heads wouldn’t get sunstruck,” sobbed Jean- nie, “but we never thought about our shoulders getting sunstruck.” “01d Mr: Sun did his job too thor- oughly.” said Aunt Madge, “but; we can soon make you more comfortable.” She went down the cellar and got a saucerful of cool, thick cream. Then with a piece of absorbent cotton she spread it gently on the red burning shoulders, arms and necks of the twins. When that dried she put a thick dressing of vaseline which kept the air away from the burn and help- ed them to get to sleep. When Granddad, heard about it in the morning he smiled sympathct‘c- ally. “I am too busy now,” he said, “but some day soon I will tell you a story about a little boy who made clay marbles by that same creek more than fifty years ago and who got sunburned just the same as you did.
