Ellen ’s Diary
Byalflullulucillih
In the continued mild weather of today. our farmers went to a spot of stumping, stepping off briskly this afternoon to this new interest which occupied the interval be- tween speils of chorlng. There had been a fitting of new handles in the old and now little-used grub- blng hoes, and an edging of these prior to this, after a search had disclosed the whereabouts of "that. new Whetstone." We are, except Jeanie, a careless folk at Alderlea in collecting saves and hammers and the like at the end of a work of repair. "New then, Ellen" James will advise me setting off in haste to the stable after mending a trace nt the old anvil-of-sorts in a sunny corner of tin.- yard, "you pick up those things and mind that you put them away where we can find then)" and then suspiciously. "or no. here give them tn me, or oh well, leave them there I may have to use them again shortly!" And how perplexing it is to find them later! No ‘tiny passes without an inquiry from one or the other of the stern- or sc.\' for. well. “You didn't ltappen
to sec the claw-hammer lying around, did you lately?” Or the llXE.
There was the evening not long ago when a chicken was to be killed-a plump fine lad, pretiily plunlagcd in his hybrid parentage, and of thr- iune hatch of the year. Most of that day the axe had been in sight from the door-xvay. Yes. there it had been leaning against a building. However it had disap- peared by sun-down when I had the poor bird securely under an arm. "An axe?" James, extremely busy at the feeding called back. “yes. there's one right over here by the shc(l—-or it was here." It might have been. It too had van- ished. "An axe?" Jock dipping water from a puuchcon for his weurlliugs of pigs said, "Yes. there's two or three around hi-re some- wllcres. Now where did I see one?’ it must have been in the barn." It too was among the articles missing. Ifeit actually miserable cruising about the yards, nnd all the time subjecting illc chicken to our con- versations, his hody warm against my jacket. he bright of cye and acute of hearing. But past the rose trellis we came. from whence most of the burnished leaves of Autumn have fallen, and up to Jennies door. “All axe." she queried, "yes, over tilt-re by the chopping block -~I was getting the kindling there, just. a few minutes ago!"
O O Q
Pard obviously pleased with the outing led the way back to the scene of the stumping in the stump field. There a short stretch was cleared Lo make a more direct route between rear and home fields. "It wasn't. too difficult, Ellen, “James told me when we talked of it at supper. “but not done by magic at all!" I-Iovrever by our farmers‘ per- severance in keeping the shoots¢ut in that area where once was a Dretty maple grove and by the ewes’ posturing there in Summer. it has reached a condition. that each time he considers it. is fairly tan- talizing to James. it is now ripe and ready if ever for the clearing.
DOROTHY DIX SAYS-
Swcin Of Many Loves
Traveling Youth Of 22 Can't Decidl Which Five Girls To Murry
DEAR MISS DIX: I am a young man 22 years of age. I urn 0m- ployed by a company which transfers me from town to town so that I usually stay about three months in a place. In the last _venr.I worked in five different towns and dated girls in every one, and I am engaged to threebf them. though I have not given them any engagement rings.
. One girl is very intelligent and I love her because One girl has a stuplfying fig- ure and I love her for her looks. One girl is very beautiful and I love her because she ls a knockout. A fourth girl is very sweet and kind and gentle and l have fallen for her. although she does not have much physical appeal. Another girl is married and is very much in love with me. but. I never did like her much. However, I am deeply in love with all the girls.
Please tell me which one I should marry? Or do you think it best. for me to marry none of them?
she is my mental equal.
' E. J. D.
ANSWER: You must have a big heart if it can accommodate so many different lady loves simultaneously I congratulate you upon your proyvess with the fair sex, but I am glad lo know that you are carrying on your little romances before you get married, instead of afterwards, for it is much easier to ditch a sweetheart than it is a wife.
HARD T0 ADVISE With your capacity for falling in love at. sight. it is difficult to, advise you about which girl to choose. Take your case, for instance. Certainly an intelligent girl with a fascinating line of conversation
so-nvould keep you from ever being bored, but wouldn't your eyes inadvert-
ently wander to the maiden with the stupifying figure? Men always fall for beauty, but doesn't it seem silly to marry for a charm that lasts so short a time?
When a bachelor finds that he hasn't a shirt with a button on if, or a pair of socks that don't need darning. doesn't he succumb to the homely girl with a sweet, kind and gentle face who knows how to cook, and then wonder what made him do it? And as for the married wo- man, she's dynamite.
So, taking it all in all. son, I would advise such a great lover as you arc to go slow on the wedding rings.
DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I have been engaged to a man for two years and we were planning to be married this fall. but I called it off because this is what he asked of me: To change my religion. To live in his home with his family. To keep on with my job and have his father put the money I made in the bank because I wouldn't have time to do so, as I would be so busy earning it. To help him pay for a car he bought, but 1 could not be cu-uwner of if.
lie has a job which only pays him $30 a week and every time I ask him to do some little thing that would give me pleasure, such as going to a dance or a show, he refuses. My wishes count for nothing. Then he claims he loves me. Would you believe him?
L. E.
ANSWER: Well, if that's his brand of love, give me nice. decent hate. Unless you are not only blind but dumb you are bound to see that this man has no spark of real affection for you and that his only ob- ject in marrying you is to get a female slave. Fortunately for you he is so avariciotis that he shows his intentions of grabbing cvcry cent you make and putting it in his own pocket. And that gives you a chance to save yourself from a miserable marriage.
When the world is full 0f good. kind, lender, generous men who would love you and protect you and nwke you happy, why do you even think of marrying this heel?
DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am 20 years old and have a child. a boy of 5. I want. to marry. but I do not. know how to go about meeting a man who would be a good husband and father to my son. Please ad. vise me what. to do.
. E. S. B.
ANSWER: Lady, that is the $64 question that. thousands of women would like to have answered, but no one knows how to do it. It is the great mystery of the world. It is just that some women have the come- hither look in their eyes and another woman hasn't. And there you 8TB.

Legends Of
P. E. Island
THE CLAN KIN G CHAIN
By Uncle Joo
They lay that "Old Drunksn Bill” was born ln the shadow of a church, near Bedeque. His con- science. though seared by sin and bad liquor, still functioned. At least every six months he took the pledge and confessed his sins to the parish priest.
But Old Bill could no more quit booze than he could stop swearing or sinning. These things seemed to be a very part. of the plan's life. At the end of every six months Bill would go off on a binge, leave the farm where he was employed. When in his cups he could generally be found in one of the old wayside taverns that were scattered across the Island in those good old bad days.
All children and all dogs loved Bill. They took to him like a bee to honey. And Bill loved all dogs and all children. Major, the valu- able but vicious police dog that was kept chained to the barn where Bill worked. simply adored him.
One stormy night Bill left the tavern to walk to the ranch. l-Ie was pretty well loaded. as the say- ing goes; otherwise he would not have taken that short-cut through the cemetery. Few headstones could be seen through the falling snow, but. still there was a weirdness about. the place that partly sober- ed the old sot, sent shivers up his spine and gave wings to his stag- gering feet.
Suddenly. iibove his labored breathing, he distinctly heard the rattling of chains.
Or did he?
Bill stopped and listened. It. wasn't that he wanted to stop, but there was no more breath in his body.
When he pushed on he heard the same noise. ens. it was after him!
Then the clanking chain grew louder and louder. There was no mistaking the sound now. Poor old Bill suddenly jerked the cap from his head and started running like macl.
At that moment a rabbit popped out in front of him.
"Out of the way!" shouted Bill. “and let_somebody run that. can run.
Winded and persplring, he fin- ally reached fhe ranch gate and leaned over it. puffing and gasping. 1-le listened.
The clanking chain reached his ears. More seconds.
Then out of the darkness. against hi"! Dlilnsed Major. panting sharp. b’. wnsue hansins. sides heaving.
Old Bill could never figure out h°w the 90f)’ 80f nolsed about. When his friends and the children kidded him he took it all in good part. but after that episode he never touched liquor.
Some folk claim it was the piece of chain that was hanging to the 5°88 collar when he broke loose and followed Bill.
"Nothin' of the sort," Argued Bill. “Twere fifty time; n5 much clankln’ as that small bit of chain could make."

0%°9%°‘ FACTS ABOUT ALOOIIOLICS ANONYMOUS
Modern medicine regards alco- holism as a sickness whose muse is to be sought in the personality of the chronic drinker, and in his social surroundings. Because it is a disease, members of Alcoholics Anonymous feel that. alcoholism should be treated from this stand- point and so they lose much if not. all. of the shame usually associated with alcoholism.
Thus. we learn from an editor- ial in the "Journal of the American Medical Association" that the at,- tltude of Alcoholics Anonymous to- ward fhe alcoholic addict is that. it considers alcoholism a sickness. By accepting the view that he is sick. that his drinking is a manifestation of deep-seated compulsion. the al- coholic addict is relieved of normal responsibility for his past drink- ing behavior.
“Tlhe informal group meetings place the alcoholic addict in a so- cial situation in which he has sta- tus and prestige; he is accepted as a full-fledged member of an in- group. The novice is encouraged to strive for 24 hours’ sobriety which. of course. is a much less formidable
