ICE HARVEST IN FULL SWING AT GRAND LEND The ice harvest in Grand Bend has been in full swing, and ice venders and fisherman are busy laying in their summer supply. The first ice was about eight inches thick but rapidly increased to 12 and 113 inches It is exceptionally clear and of good quality. The shortage last year was due partly to the poor quality and partly to the greater number of people who patronize this summer resort. (Several fishermen have practicaly finished putting in their supply. By combining milk witli a cereal that is rich is starch, a nourishing dessert is made.

With Army Under Cliiangi Kai- Shek at Wai1 Front in Homeland, Writes to His Father in Goderich; (London Free Press) GODERICH, Jan. 9 — “Our sold iers are showing remarkable cour age. They are not afraid of the Japs, or defeat, or of death. They are fighting without pay, but they care nothing about that. The war is likely to last a long time, but 1 am confident ’China will win out in the end,” writes Lieut. Wong Lung Wey, son of a Goderich chef, from the .battle lines 20 miles west of Nanking. The later, datel December 19, was written three days after the fall of Nanking, and was addressed to his father here. That tihe Chinese army is well fed, well equiped, and in high spirits is information contained in a lettei’ re markably indicative of the fervid pa triotism and utter disregard for death of the Chinese in this war. “ISo far I have been lucky—not even a scratch—but if I am to be killed, I am sorry only because the money you spent on my education would be wasted,” continues the college-bred officer, in charge of 3,'0i0i0' men. “The 'Chinese soldiers are all happy and prepared to fight, our equipment is in good order, and we are all confident that -China will eventually win out even if it takes more than three years. The letter follows: In Command of 3,000 “I am now in the Nanking lines. It is four days since the Japs took Nanking. I was in command of 3,000 soldiers. We looked after the Nanking gates. The first day I was in Nanking, the Japs were about five miles away. They sent about 100 airplanes and dropped over 1,000 bombs on Nanking. They killed a lot of soldiers and women and children. About 40 Chinese planes went up to fight them off and after the anti-aircraft guns had brought down three Jap planes the rest of them fled. The next day the Japs were within one mile of Nan king. Over 100,'000 'Chinese troops went out to fight. The Japs had a large number of tanks which broke through the- Chinese lines and the fighting was pretty heavy, both armies using heavy artillery. “They blasted huge holes in the Nanking walls with the 'big 'guns and when they tried to enter the Chinese suicide squad of about 60)0 or 700 killed about 10,000 Japs. Many Chinese soldiers fell, too. Among them many of my men. DOING NICELY, THANK YOU (Folk who have a penchant for sneering at John Bull and his business ways will do well to note that his expenditure and his in come in the abnormal year of 1937 kept quite normal. The revenue Increase to date is 25,787,00'0 pounds. His income is exceeding what he estimated it would be. John’s exhortation to himself is “Stick it, my boy!” His principle is “It’s dogged as does it.” * * * * * « THEY STAND TOGETHER The field and the counting house, white collar and the farm er’s overalls go together. The following remarks by U, S. Secretary of Agriculture support this statement: “The fainer must have markets for abundance if he- is to keep on producing bountifully,” he declared. “He suffers along with all society if these markets are to be hurt by the discharge of thou sands of city workers from their jobs when he is in greatest need of customers.” »**#*>*** BETTER THINK THIS OUT We have just heard .of a shouting, applauding crowd of Can adians who have been caught by the way they have of doing things in one of the European states that has adopted class rule. To all such Canadians we commend the story of Alexandre Barmine, formerly the representative of Russia to Greece. This man was’ asked to return to Russia. Instead he made a bee line for Paris. His reason was that he knew something of the fate he might look for. Other men situated as he was situated had been recalled to Russia only to disappear. They were wiped out. A bullet, a dose of poison, a rope or some such means being the cause of then’ going. Here is an extract from what he says; “I am thinking of my friends Who have remained at their posts in other European countries, in Asia and in America, and over whose heads hang the constant menace -of a similiar fate and who must one day face the tragic choice either of returning home to certain death or, by thei,r refusal, >of risking a bullet from iSoviet secret foreign agents—the same agents who only recently dogged my every footstep., “I realize the danger that I run by my present action. I have signed my own death warrant and exposed myself to professional killers’ bullets. I have sent my resignation to Moscow and, re nouncing diplomatic immunity, place myself under the protection of French laws as a political refugee.” Will the shouters we have referred to please take notice. THAT UNEMPLOYMENT General Motors has laid off 30,'00'0t men. Of the usual force of 87,00'01 men normally employed at the Ford River Rouge plant, only 40,000 are said to be employed. Uncle Sam reports nearly 8,000,000 of his subjects jobless. All of which gives a good deal of food for thought. When dad brings home no bacon trouble fol lows for the good wife, for J'ohnny- and Mary, and mischief is likely ■to find, its-way to dad’s idle hands. What about it? _ ISome blame big business tor this condition. There may be some grounds for this blame placing. But big business replies, “We stop making when the people stop buying. If we make fast er than the people buy, our product becomes old-fashioned and we simply cannot sell. .Inventions and tastes change so quickly that we must sell as we make or fail.” It is urged that farmers and carpenters and masons and bar bers and storekeepers dismiss their help when they cannot profit ably employ them. Homemakers do the same thing. Business, big and little, employs labour when the labour can be employed profitably. Not only so, but business, far more than most people even imagine, employ labour as long as they can do so without en countering actual loss. Labour has a way of overlooking this fact. Nor will it do to say that were the government to stop med dling with business everything would run smoothly. Some tell us that capital oecomes shy as soon as the government looks as if it were going to take away its last copper of profit. There is a good deal In this attitude. Capital, like the rest of humanity, toils and spins in its own behalf and is not so Pollpannized that it goes into raptures because its earnings are taken by a government, with a keen eye on the ballot box, in the interest of those who live like the fowl of the air, toiling not and spinning not nor gathering into barns. The history of the race is the story of unemployment in the days when governments made no effort to interfere with busi ness, big or little. Every son of Adam will do well to ponder, in this connection the old saying: “Every herrin’ maun hang by its ain heid.” CENTRALIA FARMER FORGOT $2,400 ITEM W. T. Colwill Fails, However, to Get Redress in Lawsuit Even though William T. Colwill Centralia farmer, overlooked an item of $2,400 when he made a set tlement of a lawsuit four years ago, he was Saturday ordered by Justice Fisher in weekly high court at Lon don to pay $471 to Mrs. Wilhelmina Casey, of Lucan. A suit was started early in 1933 between the two over some land in Saskatchewan. Minutes of settlement were filed on October 19, 1933. whereby Colwill was to pay $500 by December 1, '1933; $500 by Novem ber 1, 1934, and $600 by May 1, 1935. , Mrs. Casey, claiming there was still $471 owing under that settle ment, asked through her lawyer, El don Mitchell, for judgment in that amount. Oolwill’s lawyer, Duncan McCal lum, sought an adjournment, claim ing that when the settlement had been made the farmer had overlook ed an item of $2,400. The judge rul ed that the settlement could not be reopened, and gave judgment for $471.—'London Free Press DISLOCATED ELBOW LED TO NEURITIS Could Not Straighten Her Arm Four months ago, this woman dis located her lefj elbow.

A pen that is well bedded, dry and free from draughts is essential. Place the feed trough some distance away so .that she is forced to exercise outdoors daily. Eradicate lice and round worms. Feed a mixture of grains to maintain the sow in fair flesh, but use barley sparingly usless the sow is very thin. Provide clover or alfalfa iliay to be eaten at will. Be kind to the sow, but not “too kind” or weak, unthrifty pigs will result. Poultry production The value of poultry and egg pro duction during 1937 does not show much change from 1936. Egg prices averaged fractionally lower than last y.ear, but poultry prices were a shade higher. It is (interesting to note that the rise in prices of poultry pro ducts from the low point of the de pression has 'been of very Ignited proportions, and very much less than in the case of most other agricultur al (products. Poultry producers were handicapped, during the greater part of 1937 on account of high grain prices, but since harvest pro duction costa have declined With low er feed prices. Ontario shipped this year large (quantities of live poultry to the United States markets and al so considerable quantities of dressed poultry to the United Kingdom. Feeding Brood Mares To properly care tor brood mares during the winter months, it must be understood that they should be given milk exercises each day but deep show and hauling of heavy loads should be avoided. It is particular ly important that mares in foal are not allowed to be idle during the winter months, as they usually pro duce weak foals—no matter how they must be fed. A brood mare’s ration may be made up of a variety of feeds, how ever, it is essential that it be nutri tious and contain a generous supply of protein and minerals. A good grade of mixed hay, oats and bran will supply all the necessary require ments. A few roots fed daily will also prove beneficial. The amount of hay and grain to b© fed daily will depend upon the size of the mare, her condition and the type of work she is doing. Naturally the more she is required to do—the larger the daily ration of grain. Young mares that have not completed their growth must be fed quite liberally, After the foal is born, drinking water with the chill taken off is giv en to the mare. The mare’s first feed after foaling is always a warm bran mash and the grain ration con tains one-half bran for a wOek or more after the foal is dropped. By so doing, complications such as an oversupply of milk or indigestion are usually avoided. When- mares are thin at foaling time, light fending should only be continued for a few days. In such cases, the feed is usually increased gradually in order to insure a good supply of milk for the foal. Mares that are required to work while nursing their foals will require liberal feeding, if tihey are to be kept in good flesh and pro vide a generous supply of milk for the foals.
