I Have Loved England
Never a Dull Moment
Just as we 'were reconciled to getting on with fewer car tires,
we were told that the government had only 'been showing a big
stick for the fun of ;doing so. We got a big scare about gasoline.
Then the government’ told us that we had no occasion for our jitters.
Why all this fussing, anyway? Doesn’t the government know Its
own mind? Does it like to make a fuss in order that we may believe
that it is doing something to earn its money? It looks as if there
were a few amateurs at 'Ottawa that should be put to pounding
sand. Why does it ask us to cross bridges before we come to them?< # - <• < ■*

Every house is occupied. Every one who can work at all has plenty

every good cause. Our schools have been well .attended,

farmers' friends while all they seek is some personal advancement,
The granary and the ballot box do not make a lovely combination.
When the farmer is left to himself he is the nation’s bulwark. Left
to himself he prospers, he devises good measures for his community,
for his province, for his nation, He builds schools and churches,
constructs the best of roads, lives a healthy-minded social life and
is the friend of everything that has to do with his day and genera
tion. Meddled with he becomes discontented. And with the
meddlers lies the danger of this hour. The farmer’s foe is the
alleged' uplifter of rural life, The hopeful feature of the present
time is that the farmer is filing collie’s teeth for the benefit of those
who are telling him of disabilites in his life that simply do not
exist, and who are proposing remedies that only make the farmer’s
difficulties the harder to bear. In these days the farmex* will do

Especially are they missed from their home. We had got into the
way of looking to those fine men to help us out in al) sorts of tight
places. ' We looked fox* their greetings on the street ox* at church ox*
market. ’ We have done our best to keep things humming, but there
is a catch in the throat as we do what we can at tasks they did so
pleasantly and efficiently. We’d like those splendid men to know
how proud we are of them. Their cleai’ brains and their red blood
are keeping this fine Canada a good land to live in. They are
cleaning up the jungle whence comes the miasma of slavery and
‘ ignorance and despair. They are seeing to it that we shall elect
our legislators for a definite term to do a definite work according
to oux* needs and oux* possibilities. They are seeing to it that women
shall walk our streets unmolested and live in theix* homes undis
turbed, that children shall play and learn their lessons and
from youth to manhood unafraid and with no craven spirit,
welcome these excellent fellows on theix* all too brief Christmas
and follow them as they return to their great work with
wishes and earnest prayers that they be able to do all that’

to carry on if their capital is to be imperilled by strikes.
In this connection we recall the experience of that last firm to

of this firm to his workers, "If evei* you have a grievance let me

RUSSIA’S GOOD WORK
Russia has been the surprise Of the war. Most of ’ us were
sure that she would prove unable to withstand the German onslaught
fox* two weeks. If Russia were not subjugated within two months
the reason would be the severity of the Russian winter, rather than
the valox* of the Russian defenders. Should any success attend the
Russian effort, we assured ourselves, it would be due to the weight
of Russian numbers and not due to Russian strategy or military
skill. Russia, we Were quite certain, had no craft for making arms,
munitions, or anything else.
Well, France went down before the enemy. Britain had hex*
Dunkirk. We know what became of the ’Prince of Wales. We
know what has been done to Coventry. No land attack is being
made on German’s western front. But what of Russia? We fear,
almost, to Say anything of her exploits, lest ws deal in news too
good to be true. Of course wihter has aided the Russians. Of course Russia has been assisted, by natui'al circumstances. NeVer-
the less the fact remains that Russian skill and valour and stategy
have won the day.
The cause? Early in the last war Russia got a terrible beat
ing from the Germans. "The Russians are done fort” was the
world’s verdict. But what are the facts? Russia saw that she Was.
beaten in that terrible battle. But she saw, too, that she was not
overthrown. Shfe awoke to her possibilities. With the finest com
mon sense in the world she set about getting rid of hex” weaknesses,
She employed the best skill to be secured anywhere to lead her
people in every foi’ni of manufacture and agriculture. Above all
else,, she got rid of the enemies within her borders. In this she
resbtted to no half measures. She destroyed her enemies before
they had an oppoi’titnity to destroy her and her children. She
showed her people how to work and how to Work effectively for1 her
and for their preservation. Then she inspired her citizens with
love for their native land and saw that their eyes were cheeTed
by thevsxght of something accomplished, something done. All this
Was carried out without advertising oi* blare of bands. She knew
that "Germany was her enemy, implacable, deceitful, greedy, merci-
less, bent on bleeding hei* while eager to' ruin her .completely, and
for all time. Germany must be destroyed, she saw,, or Russia
Would be enslaved. The world knows the result.

I walked the quarter mile to the

in getting, a bus. At 4.30 the bus
