PRODUCTION MUST INCREASE.
The Canada Food Board Says:
There has been no call fur slackening ef-
forts. The Impression seems to prevail
that Canada has done well enough in
growing grains. and the future is assured,
so far as food is concerned. Such is no:
the case. has not been the case. nor will
it be for some time to come. The call is
for more and yet more production, and
the cry for food is situ loud in the ears of
Canadians.
The hard work and sell -sacrifice of Can-
adians have borne fruit. Great Bntain
cannot be starved. There is enough to
provide for the armies and the civilians
until the next crop. but no more. There
are no food reserves, as there should be.
Indeed. Canada must double its pro
duction in 1919. Let that soak in. The
cor:talentof America has promised. and
must deliver. 15.000,000 tons of food-
stuffs this coming year. in 1917.13.
10.000.000 tons were promised and will
be delivered. America must produce
fifty per cent. more for the Allies. Thais
the job before the farmers and citizens of
this country. The great crops of grain in
the United States in 191S may not be
duplicated next year. and Canada will
have to deliver a still greater share.
There are but two ways of securing this
total- production and conservation.
And the greater of these is production.
The manifest duty of the hour is to
prepare the Land for the coming of ban-
ner crops in 1919.
Plough. Plough. Plough. This should
be hammered into the consciousness of
Canadian* now.
This country. with a year's experience
in tractors. with several hundred more of
them available tkis fall than in 1917.
should be able to turn over many million
mote acres than ever in the history of
this country. The more ploughed. the
greater aill be tke production.
The weather is favorable. the machinery
is available. the necessity of the times
demands it.
Then plough.
Let the tractors hum for twenty -f o tr
hours a day.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
The boys overseas are getting us in
gold shape fur Thanksgiving Day.
An unsuccessful attempt has been made
to shoot Trotsky, the Bolshevik leader.
Those Russians are execrable shots.
There has been frost every month this
dear in Saskatchewan: yet the crops in
_Many districts are exceptionally good.
A wedding announcement in a Toronto
paper the other day was headed 'Wild -
Bull." The bride's other name was
Daley. so that after marriage she would
still be a daisy wild. while the husband
probably would have become quite tame.
Of 167 students registered at the Strat-
ford Normal School this term only eight
are men. The war is doubtless partly re-
sponsible for this, but in eleven sears
only 275 out of 2068 students were of the
male persuasion. The \girls have the
boys pretty well backed out 1 the teach-
ing profession.
The United States authorities.\exem; t
poets from the draft law. Perhaps the
United States has a g enuine poet or two
who are worth preserving: but if news-
paper publishers had their way we are
afraid 999 out of every thousand rhyme-
sters who fondle imagine they can write
poetry would be sent up to the very front
line and told to stay there.
A great deal could be done this fall to
leieen the peril of the tussock moth in-
vasion. A walk about town shows the
trees to be badly infested with the co-
coons They can be plainly seen. and a
campaign tor their removal should be or-
ganized and carried out over the nhole
town. Some will be missed, of Course.
and next spring it will be in order to
spray the trees. There is no use taking
half measures with the tussock moth;
either the moth or the trees will have W
go.
The Toronto Telegram states that "the
Quebec mammy" (meaning possibly
the French-Canadians,, with more than
tour times the popu'ation of the city of
Toronto, has contributed to the Cana-
dian army not more than one-fourth the
number recruited from Pbronta. We do
not vouch for The Telegram's figures. but
if they are anywhere near correct
they are as strong an ,indictment of the
Military Service Act as its most deter
mired opponent could look for.
The farmers have just the same right to
organize as any other class in the nation.
The manufacturers. the retaii merchants,
the doctors. the publishers -these and
many other classes in the community
have their organizations for the protection
of their own interests, and nobody objects
unless they push their claims too far and
encroach upon the rights of other claws
or upon the rights of the public,
So with the farmers. Theirs is the most
important industry in the whole country.
and its prosperity means the prosperity of
the whole country. For years farmers

have been deluded by the wiles of pol-
iticians. to whom, moat unwisely, they
left the protection of their interests. Now
they are coming to the conclusion -many
of them have long since arrived
there -that if agriculture is to
have its rightful place in the
scheme of things it is the farmers
themselves who must put it there and I
keep it there. The Signal betieves the
organizattun of the farmers is a long step
m the right direction and will give cordial
support to the movement so long as it is
in keeping with the public interest. and
no ntelligent farmer has any desire to
push the claims of agriculture past that
pont. Indeed, it will be quite a while
before the organized farmers will be able
to recover the ground which they should
hold and which has been lost during the
many years in which they remained unor-
ganized in a world of organizations.
The Business Woman.
Today, more than *ler before, is
woman s opportunity. Many new occupa-
tions are now opened to her which. be-
fore the war. she was deemed unfitted to
fill. And truth to tell she has risen to the
opportunity. and now shares many busi-
ness responsibilities in former times con-
fined to men. But. as women are subject
to more frequent fluctuations of health
than men. mans_will be handicapped
early, it they regard their health require-
ments too lightly.
The nervous strain. long hours and pro-
longed mental or physical fatigue thin the
blood and weaken the nerves. Such con-
ditions as women are now called upon to
undergo can only be endured by a full-
blooded constitution. This is as true for
men as for women, only weaker women
suffer soonest. The woman worker, in
any line, requires her blood replenished
frequently. She needs netr, rich blood to
keep her health under the trying condi-
tions of business life. and to fortify her
system againet the effects of overwork.
This applies a'so to the woman in the
home. who. perhaps. has more worries and
anxieties than usual So let al! girls and
women take heed and renew their blood
promptly at t he first approach
9f pallor. lack of appetite. bead -
oche or backache. This can he best
and most effectively accomplished
by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Psis. which
make new, rich blood and ,Rhus help
womankind so perfectly. No unman need
fear failure of health if they take these
pills occasionally to keep them well. or
give them a fair trial if they had them
selves rundown.
You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
through any medicine dealer or by mail at
50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from

SIDELIGHTS ON
GERMAN CHARACTER
AND CUSTOMS
Extracts from U. 5. Am0assador Ger-
ard's last book. "Face to Face with Kais-
eriam:"
"The Germans were then fthe sixteenth
century, the mercenaries of Europe, sav-
ages skilled in war, without mercy to-
wards the towns givers up to their pillage.
There is no more horrible event in all his-
tory than that of the sack of Rome by
the German mercenaries in the year 1527.'
The most awful outrages were perpet-
rated. Prelates were tortured after being
paraded through the streets of the Eternal
City. dressed in their sacred pontificals
and mounted on donkeys Alttdrs were
defiled. sacred images broken. vest-
ments and services and works of art
taken from the plundered churches in-
sulted, broken and scattered. In fact,
conditions in Belgium today had their
counterpart centuries ago in the treat
ment of Roman Catholic priests and the
people of Rome "
"Goethe said. 'The Prussian was born a
brute and civilization will make him fero-
cious.' We have all seen how prophetic
was this sentence. Skilled in chemistry,
in science. well educated. made rich by
manufacturing and foreign commerce. the
Prussians of today have shown them-
selves far more bloody. far more cruel
than the German mercenary of the mid-
dle ages. who sold himself, his two-
handed: sword, his long lance and his mil-
itary experience to the highest boder."
"I think that the only time i lost my
temper in Germany was when a seemingly
reasonable and polite gentleman from the
Foreign Office sitting by my desk one day.
in ltil'i, remarked how splendid it was
that Germany had nearly two million
pawners of war. and that these would go
back to their homes imbued with an in-
tense admiration of German kultur."
"The twelve million Austrian Germans
differ much in character from rhe Prus-
sians. They are handsomer and more at-
tractive, but far less efficient than their
bloody brethren from the cold wind sweu:
plains of Pru.;sta. They are far more
polite, far more agreeable. far more fond
of amusement of all kinds. Indeed. it is be-
cauae Of their pleasant personal rharacter-
ist:es that so many other nations have been
content to remain under their rule. in
no other citv of the world is the thaw of
the population ,o fond of pleasure M it
VVienna.' f
"They (the Austrian Germane) occupy
Au stria proper. To the north and north-
east lie Bohemia and Moravia. the country
of the Czechs of Slavic blood. who num-
ber about six millions. To the east lies
Hungary. containing in its twenty million
inhabitant* about ten mil!ton M gars,
who are the dominant race. one and one-
half million Ruthenians, two and a -half
million Czechs (or Slovaks). three million
Roumanians, and about two millions of
Jugo•Slays."
"The best -kilos -ft theatre manager in
Berlin is Reinhardt. who has under his
control the Deutsches Theatre. In it
the great revolving stage makes changes
of scene so easy that he is enabled to
present Shakespeare. a great favorite in
Germany, in a most picturesque manner.
He manages to lend even to the most
solemn tragedy little touches that add
greatly to the interest and keep the atten-
tion fixed. For Instant -e, in his production
of 'Macbeth,' when Lady Macbeth -comes
in. in the sleep -walking scene. rubbing her
bands and saying, 'What. will these hands
never be clean % -the actress taking this
part in Berlin gave a very loud and lis
tinct snore between every three or four
words; thus most effectively reminding
the audience that she was asleep:'
"Eventually, forced by the hopeless-
ness of the economic situation, the nerve
of Germany w 11 break. There is a suicide
point in the German character. The
German has been sustained since the war
began by victories somewhere. No de-
feats have as yet been brought home to
the German oeople. Viewed from inside
the German Empire, what is the loss of a
few villages,on the wet front or even of
distant colonies, compared with the con•
quest of Belgium. of the richest part of
France. of thousands of square miles of
Russia. of Roumania. Montenegro and
Servia ? With the exception of a very
small bit of Alsace the war is being fought
far from German territory. The German
can swagger down the streets of the cap-
itals of his enemies. in Brussels, Belicrade,
Bucharest, Warsaw and Cettinje. and
Prussian greed exacts tribute from rich
cities, from Lille nn the west to W ilna
far within the frontiers of Russia."
The Mail Order Catalogue.
Under the caption, '•Trading With
Toronto." The:Peterborugh Review again
points the moral that the best way to
meet the mail order competition is to
fight advertising with advertising. it
says:
'Several dray loads of the trade cata-
logues of a well-known department store
in Toronto have Just been delivered in
Peterborough. The postoftice is cluttered
up with these volumes, every one of I
which weighs over a pound, and the letter ,
carriers are weighed down with them on II
their rounds. The rural mal deliverers, i
too, are finding their duties somewhat
more than doubled for a few days in the
work of distribution, as a large percentage
of these catalogues go to the country
"Every such catalogue so received is a
dead logs to the city. as it will divert
money to Toronto, money that would be
better invested at home. And the pity of
it is that anything listed in the catalogue
can be secured in Peterborough on terms
just as advantageous as those offered by
the department store. It is the advertis-
A wise man does a great deal of silent ing that draws the custom to the larger
thinking, and a foil man does a great centre. and the tide can be turned by the
deal of thoughtless talking. home merchants making the same free

FRENCH GAIN GROUND.
Enormous Difficulties Confront Oen
Debeney's Forces.
PARIS, Sept. 24. - The Trench
now hold the lett bank of the Oise
for more than halt the distance from
La Fere to Mery.
Gen. Debeney's troops captured
the woods north of Ly -Fontaine on
Sunday evening and his patrols went
through Veathtrttll to the Oise.
The Germans had evacuated Ven-
deuil under menace of being cornered
there with their backs to the rivet
by the French advancing toward the
river to the region of Ly -Fontaine.
The French about the same time
reached the quarries just 'north of
Traeecy, which completed the con-
quest of the west bank of the Oise
In that region.
Together with the formidable de-
fences erected by the Germans
around St. Quentin, Gen. Debeney's
forces have reached the low marshy
country of the valley of the Oise,
which presents enormous difficulties
to any troops that might attempt a
crossing north of La Fere, s
As tpe French draw nearer the
Hindenburg line around St. Quentin,
the Germans multiply their efforts le
keep them from it. North of the
Somme they appear to be organising
a defensive system on the line of
heights which runs parallel to the
Hindenburg positions from east of
Holnon to Hill 123. south of Holnon,
and thence through Hill 130 east of
Savy Wood to Dalton's Height. on
the road from Ham to St. Quentin.
This line is being feverishly forti-
fied against tanks with mine fields.
All the eastern slopes of these
heights are utilised to shelter troops.
which appear to be quite dense there.
A system of communicating trenches
has been dug to permit the circula-
tion of reinforcements and the
bringing up of supplies.
Gen. Debeney's Hien are now In
contact with this line of reaistanee,
and they continue to advance, not-
withstanding the formidable fortifica-
tions and the energetic resistance of
the enemy's infantry.
HUNS FIGHT BITTERLY.
arttleh fling Tenaciously to New
Defence Lines.
LONDON, Sept 24. -The continu-
ous efforts of the enemy to dislodge
the British from their positions about
Epehy, which gravely threaten the
Hindenburg line, have resulted In
hard local fighting with the odds In
favor of the British. The British
troops have clung tenaciously to their
new defences, while the weary and
weakened Germane keep desperately
hemmeriog at them. They have also
captured a German strong point
northeast of Epehy, which bad re-
sisted for several days, the web-like
trench works called the Quadrila-
teral. The figbting is more of a hand-
to-hand character than hitherto.
In the present offensive we are op -
paned by the Alpine Corps and two
ether- divislggts, besides a new divt-
$tQ�t moved a from the reserve. We
raslured Qaeaase.uont Farm at two
o'clock. but afterwards withdrew
from it. Our net pins for the day
are satisfactory. We occupied or de-
stroyed many outposts to this trou-
blesome sone, inflicting heavy
caa ual t les.
The Germans on Sunday delivered
a counter-attack at Berthaucourt,
near Pontruet, supported by hoary
artillery fire. A sharp infantry en-
gagement followed, in which the Ger-
mans pushed forward Into some of
the British defences. An immediate
counter-attack, however, completely
restored the situation.
WILL USE WAR LOAF.
Canada Gets Into Lime With Her
Allies.
OTTAWA, Sept. 24. -Canada has
adopted the Allied war loaf, 20 per
cent. of substitutes must be used with
wheat dour. Announcing this policy
as official memorandum says:
"The_ Canada Food Board, after
full conan4p'ation of the matter. bas
adopted the policy of the Allied Food
Controllers' resolution as far as
wheat products are concerned, aad
will use the Allied loaf. Thie means
that 20 per cebt. of substitutes must
be used with wheat flour.
"The Government heartily ap-
proves this policy. While the crops
in Europe and•tbe United States have
been, considering everything, extol -
lent this year. and while there le a
sufficiency of food In sight to meet
our requirements for the next twelve
month., nevefthelew there is the
greatest need for conservation. par-

cient against widespread unfavorable

ment, therefore, hopes the people of

sist to this end by using in their
households the amount of substitutes

HURON - $BV
TERIAL SOCIETY.
Missionary Conference Held at Egrroond-
vdle-Presentanoo to Mw Fingland.
The semi-annual conference of the
Huron Presbyterial Women's Missionary
Society was held in the Presbyterian
church. Egmondville. on Tuesday. Sept-
ember 10th. The attendance was more
than had been expected. the church being
crowded to the doors.
At 10 o'clock, with the president. Mrs.
James Hamilton, of Goderich, in the
chair. the Blyth auxiliary took charge of
the opening exercises. A very helpful
Bible reading was given by Mrs. A.Taylor
from Psalm 121. Miss H. I. Graham gave
a full and encouraging report of the last
meeting. held at Clinton in January. The
young women's conference, presided over
by Mrs. G. Telford of Blyth, was bright
with interest. Suggestions as to the dif-
ferent methods used to raise money and
to prepare interesting programs for the
regular meetings were given by represen-
tatives from the different circle,. Miss
Ellis. of Hensall. representative from the
Huron Presbyterial to the summer school
at Whitby. gave a most interesting ac•
count of the proceedings there. The
meeting also listened to an excellent re-
port prepared by Mrs. S. T. DeLacy
and read by Mrs. Hogg of Clinton, of
the Provincial meeting held at Toronto
in May. The noon hour was spent in
social inters arse and in partaking of a
bounteous luncheon hospitably prepared
by the Egmondville ladies.
The afternoon session opened at 2
o'clock, conducted by Mrs. Walter, repre-
sentative of the Auburn and Smith's Hill
auxiliaries. The main feature of the after.
noon was an address given by Dr. Eliza-
heth McMaster, returned medical mission-
ary from Indtre, India. on her twelve years
spent amongst the people of that country.
Dr. McMaster said nothing of her own
hardships, but pictured before her hearers
the needs of the people whom she loves
in a way which should call forth our
earnest prayers and assistance in the
great work of missions generally.
The Mission Band conference was
bright and encouraging. One could not
but be im reseed as the representatives
from the different Bands were called to
the platform. how the younger girls and
boys are being trained to take their
places in the larger work of the church.
Another interesting event of the after-
noon was the presentaticm of a steamer
rug to Miss Fingland, of Londeaboro', by
Rev. C. Fletcher. D. D., of the General
Assembly-. Mira Fingland has been des-'
ignated to go as missionary to Korea; the
rug is a token of affectionate remem-
brance from the Huron Presbyterial.
She is to be supported by her home firm-
gregation at Auburn. Later in the aRer-
n oon Mira Fingland gave an interesting
talk on Korea.
Other features which brightened the
atfternntxn's pneram were vocal solos by I
Miss Hume, of Goderich. Miss I. Woods,
of Seafo cth, Mier Gemmell, of Egm
ville. and a duet by two little girls from
the McLean Mission Band, •Blyth.. Also
the c noir rendered a selection entitled
"Kap the Prayer Fires Burning." com-
posed by the secretary, Miss H 1.
Graham. and sung to the tune of "Keep
the Home Fires Burning." Short prayers
were offered by Mrs. Elder of Blyth, Mrs.
Sparks, Blake, Mrs. McQueen,Brucefield,
Mrs. Cameron, Thames oad. Mrs.
Aitken. Kippen. Mrs. Currie. London.
and Mrs. McKenzie of Bayfield. Just
before the closing words of the president.
which were helpful and inspiring. Mrs.
Aitken of Kippen presented the work of
the st-anger's secretary in a way which
should arouse a new interest in the wel-
fare of the boys and girls who are stran-
gers in our towns and villages.
The next meeting is to be held at
Blyth.

Thus spoke the
German emperor,
in a playful mood,
to his Americandentist,
Dr. Arthur N. Davis.

President Wilson and
other prominent Amer-

to oppose him.

startling articles
that are to appear in
