)Never in the history of the Swine Breeding In-

the pork supply since 1910. This condition is
shown by :he increased prices for hogs. both for
Herders and packers
It is going to take. long time to ret+tahlish
stability to the swine world, owing to the falling
oe in supply. the growing demand, and the conse-
quent general high pricer.
The improvement on the Chester White and
the creation of the distinct 0. 1. C type wai
accomplished by crossing on the Chester White
another breed of hog which was about what is
now known in England as the Mammoth Whitt.
This cross was made by Mr. L. B. Silver, of
Salem. thio, in .tat[. Mr. Silver thereby became
the originator of the O. 1. C. Hog. Since that day
Mr. L. B Silver .nd his successors have worked
continuously to improve the 0. 1. C. Hopi by
artentifk Heeding and development. producing ■
sat of -super Heed" of the white hog. while
other Heerlens have sought to improve their
Chester White stock by introducing 0. 1. C.
blood. and have succeeded to a greater or ler
extent. _�-

Goderich Fuel Supply Cut.
TO OUR CITIZENS, -
The coal dealers and your local Fuel Committee have received
word from the Fuel Administrator for Ontario, Mr. R. C. Harris, City
Hall, Toronto, that the anthracite coal allotment for Goderich has been
reduced by one thousand tons. The outlook is none too good, as the
amount now assigned to tis is about what we received last season,
1917-18, and you all remember too well our experiences then. This
allotment is based on the mutual understanding made by the United
States Fuel Commissioner and our Canadian Fuel Controller, so there
is no use saying that if the dealers or the town officials had been more
energetic they could have got more hard coal.
Our concern is to see that we get our full allotment, and all the
pressure that is possible is being exerted on the coal companies by the,
Fuel Administrator to deliver us our share. The cutting of our supply
means that we shall have to snake up the deficiency with soft coal or
wood. The amount of soft coal required will be 1,500 tons, with a
greater amount of wood if it is used as an equivalent.
It will be absolutely necessary that each household burn at least
a ton of soft coal or a like amount of wood, and to this end we advise
you to place your order now and accept delivery of a small amount of
either soft coal or wood. We shall need the hearty co-operation of
every citizen with the dealers and your Committee in order that we may
avoid an acute situation such as we had last winter.
We are instructing the dealers that they are not to supply the
full requirement of hard coal to any one customer and in supplying hard
coal to insist that the customer take at least a ton of soft coal or a like
amount of wood. The dealers have on hand ample serppplies of soft
coal and wood, The town will have wood for sale about December 1st.
Hoping that we may have the co-operation of all citizens, we are,

DEAR MR. ROBERTSON, -1 thought per-
haps you night be interested to learn of a
somewhat urriaue gathering of Goderich
men out here this week. Myself and Pte.
Geo, Brazier were sent frpm the Bat-
talion to attend a school of instruction a
gdod distance behind the Tines. and one
evening this week we rounded up a dozen
of Godench men. They were Sgt. Wm.
Dunnage. who is on the staff of the school,
Ptes. F. Bates, H. Hunt, J. B. McLean.
J. Weise, ;W. Peachy, E. Callow. B.
!Palmer. Wm. Feagan and J. Bell. who with
' Brazier and myself made the dozen. You
1 may be sure we spent a very pleasant
hour together. Ptes. Feagan and Bell
had recently come from hospital and are
wearing a wound stripe. Both are looking
somewhat thin. All of these men with the
exception of Sgt. Dunnage were originally
in the 161st Battalion. The following
day Corp/Geo. Fist er, also of the 161st,
put in an appearance. He is in charge
of some of the sanitary work at the school.
Since then Pte. Peachy has been sent to
hospital. sic.,.
There has been a fearful lot of rain here
this week and it must have been most
unpleasant for the boys up in'the line. 1
had .: good taste of it the night se left
the line. It was raining' in good style then
and we had a fr.ur hours walk over torn -
swept roads and the r.ieht war terribly
dark, so that we welcomed Fritz's star
shells to let us see our way occasionally.
I believe our afualtiee have been Iight,
although some raiding has been done.
Very few papers are arriving. 1 re-
ceived one this week dated May 27th.
They will probably arrive by the dozen
some weeks hence.
With remembrances from the boys here
to yourself and the people of Goderich.
Yours sincertfly,
