The only trouble witlj, the farmers is when they Il' country inNever the matter belongs to are meddled with by crafty politicians who allege that they are the 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 his bit as he always has done it, the carpetbaggers and special pleaders and calamity howlers to the contrary, notwithstanding. ■ * .* * * : ' * * w • • WE MISS THEM We miss our boys and men who are away from town fighting the battle fox* freedom or who are preparing for the great struggle.

Readings and the story of "Christ the this and the THE OTHER SIDE " Just the other day some miners decided to strike. After being given a fair chance to return to theix* job, ’the miners decided to remain away from work. In a few days the mine owners declined to carry on if their capital is to be imperilled by strikes. In this connection we recall the experience of that last firm to stay ou-t of the big corporation Carnegie was forming. Said the head of this firm to his workers, "If evei* you have a grievance let me know about it and I’ll rectify it if I can. appoint your representa­ tives .and I’ll treat with them. But, on no condition, have anything to do with any outside organization.” Everything went happily till one day the workers’ representative told the boss that there were some hinges downstairs that were not manufactured by a firm they named. “jR’1*' o”*3 nnf iiino-oa boss. . __ __w in the union.” "So,” said the astonished "boss, "you’re* tion with a company of men outside this firm.” Word and the men told -to be back at theii* benches by seven ing, their being back to be the sign that-henceforth the turning would have nothing to with unions outside the The big mill shut down. Many of the men never got work again,-but in three months the mill was running full blast. It took the boss just that long to train men who carried on almost as ef­ ficiently as the men who struck. There are two sides to every story Employers and employees do well, to keep this age-old fact in mind. **♦ »♦»»» 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. Meanwhile Britain played politics. ,A British prime minister whose name is a now & byword, openly declared that a certain policy would mean the overthrow of his party, Dunkirk followed, Even the virile and efficient Churchill was opposed hy dudes and self-seekers and impotents' whose influence showed itself in the peculiar early stages of the campaign In Africa and the general •muzzling of the valor of the Empire.’ Ail know what hue been in Canada, If we are not informed as to the way ‘things in this good land, we have but to open our eyes.

We are eagerly looking for­ ward to its arrival and feel that the work can be done more effec­ tively when we have suitable means of getting about. Last Sunday I left the house at -8 a.m. to go by bus to my country Sunday School. I walked the quarter mile to the bus stand ’and after waiting some time, found that the bus driver had taken ill and there would not be another. bus on that road for an hour. I looked eagerly for a taxi and at last got one, ’arriving half an hour late for my Sunday School. Due to the ill driver there was no bus to bring me ‘ack so I started to walk the two miles. Be­ cause of rain some strangers pick­ ed me up so I got here dry and in time for Sunday School at 10. At this same -country Sunday School we are preparing a Rally Day program. I left at 2 p.m. -and was fortunate in getting, a bus. At 4.30 the bus passed but was full so I walked home. These experiences in var­ ious forms are ours often. For the regular work we have a hired car but the extras which Often mean so much, we either leave out or do them at inconvenience. We feel that a car of our own will be cheap­ er and more effective, although driving oneself on these narrow, winding roads is not any joy, This term several of my coun­ try meetings have shown a good interest. I have been able to be­ gin work in two new places where it is n’eeded badly. I Wish I could take you to one of these remote country places.
