CREAM AND EGG MONEY
I wonder what we would do on the
farm without the cream and egg mon
ey. Those very words have a familiar
ring for a great many city people.
That is, providing they have ever liv
ed on a farm . , . because to farmers
the cream and egg money has been the
foundation of their business for as
long as the majority of us care to re
member.
About this time of year. Mrs. Phil
begins to get frugal with the money
from the farm produce. She, takes
care to always meet the cream-man
and demand the cream check before I
can flich a quarter for’tobacco. She
takes the eggs to town herself these
days and asks for the money In place
of leaving the surplus as she often
does when buying groceries, in order
that the “due bill” will take care of
what we need during the leaner days
when the hens are not in the mood
for laying and the cream check has
dwindled to a mere shadow of its for
mer size.
I often come in from choring after
supper and she will have the old
cracked tea-pot on the table with neat,
little piles of silver and a few bills
spread out on the oil-cloth. She is fig
uring with a Stub of a pencil on the
back of an old envelope . . . and her
‘ hand hovers over the mail-order cata
logue. She buys very little from it,
but it is a sure guide for prices and
a constant source of enterainment for
the whole family.
Mrs. Phil is figuring for Christmas.
She has her Christmas gifts neatly
listed on the back of an old envelope
and her supply of money stacked on
the table: Her forehead wrinkles and
unwrinkles with the problem of it . . .

“I expect to sell some hogs before
Christmas and 1*11 give you some
; money out of that,” I suggest, but she
shakes her head at such a profane
thought, She is going to finance* the
Christmas season on the “cream and
egg” money just as she has financed
all the others since we were first mar
ried.
How many times that old tea-pot
has saved this household. I have nev
er known’ how much it contained be
cause the money is, generally stuffed
in among coupons and old bills and re
ceipts. Yet on every occasion the
treasurer-chest has
enough to fill the

overalls for stray
member a one dollar bill in a watch
pocket of my good trousers and gent
ly -ask Neighbour Higgins for the
$6.00 he owes me . , , and still am
eight dollars and forty cents short
of the total. Mrs. Phil doesn’t say
anything, the money and chaff from
the various pockets is piled up on the
table . .. and when the amount needed
is reduced to $7,23, she reaches for the
tea-pot. I have always paid it back
. . . because experience has taught’
that it Js one bank which demands
that each loan be paid , back before
another will be made.
A great many farmers with success
ful places should be ashamed of them
selves when they start boasting of
their’ability to finance. The majority
of them merely relied on the ability
of their wives to pull them through
the hard times with “ cream and egg
money” reserves, They have always
known that no matter what came
along in the way of extra expenses
they could depend on the old cream,
jug or the cracked tea-pot to give up
enough money to tide them over dif
ficult places.
No matter what you want it for, the
old tea-pot always seems to have the
money. Perhaps its a new pair of
shoes of Patricia Ann or a new pair
of overalls for yourself . .’, or Mrs.
Phil may want a new hat. Dipping
down into the old tea-pot she man

WHAT IT COSTS TO
MECHANIZE WAR
For every dollar spent in the last
war on armament and transport, Can
ada is now spending five dollars. Vic
tor Sifton, Master-General of the
Ordance, made some revealing com
parisons in a broadcast over the C.B.
C. national network.
Here are a few facts as given by
Mr, Sifton:
In 1914-18, an infantry division
moved on foot at 2% miles an hour.
A division was doing well to cover
20 miles in a day.
Today an infantry division moves
at a minimum speed of ten miles . an
hour.
A Canadian infantry division in
1918 had 153 motor vehicles and 4,400
horses. The cost plus upkeep at the
front for one year was $2,000,000.
A division today, has no horses or
wagons, but it has 3,500 motor vehicles
of more than 160 different types. The
cost of the vehicles used by a modern
division plus one year’s upkeep is
$12,000,000. *
In 1914-18 over-all cost of a divis
ion varied from '30 to 48 millions a
year, according to Severity of fighting.
Today’s cost of creating and main
taining an infantry division for one
year is $86,000,000.
To equip and maintain a Canadian
division in the field for one year will
cost $155,000,000.
There was no military formation in
1918 to compare with, the modern
armoured division. Biit the cost of
maintaining the whole Canadian corps
in France itt the full fiscal year 1916-
17 was $143,000,000 or $12,000,000
less than maintaining an armoured
division. f
One armoured division develops
394,237 horse power, as mtich as the
electrical power used in the city of
Toronto*
