We have heard speakers state "the time has passed when young men are to be handled with kid gloves." Do they expect to get young men to enlist if they abuse them from the platform. The young men of Huron are too proud to let their native county fail to recruit the 161st, but they mast be taken more into the con- fidence of the recruiting speaker and more especially if that speaker is of military age and physical fit- ness himself and not in uniform. PRODUCTION AND THRIFT • The War Book of 1916. It would perhaps be too much to say that the Agricultural War Book. issued for free distribution by the Federal De- partment of Agriculture, is the most com- plete book ever published in Canada en• tirely devoted to the subject of which it mainly treats. Yet in variety it certainly Is. Besides the general matter brought together by the editor, the Commissioner of Agriculture, some seventy agricultur- al and education experts havecontribut- ted to the 250 pages, includjng the Fed- " eral Ministers of Agriculture and Fin- ance, the Live Stock Commissioner, and Dairy Commissioner for the Dominion chiefs and sub -chiefs of various depart- ments . and •divisions, fedettal and provincial, and professors at the Ontario and other agricultural colleges. While there are statistics of the world's as well as of Canada's produce last year, for purposes of comparison, and two or three years preceding, the book is a long way from being confined to figures. On the contraryit contains pages upon pages of textual information, instruction and sound advice appertaining to its title "Production and Thrift." Not alone would the farmer and breeder be the better for its study but every house- holder, every citizen would profit by fol - lotting its counsel, which, in a general sense. is embodied In the motto` that ap- pears on the front cover, namely: IN WAR TIMB Produce more and save more, Make your labor efficient, Save material from waste, Spend your money wisely.

Signal Seaton of the 71st Battalion. O. F. Aprl110tb,1916, Oar Editor & Stam, At halt we have got settled down at Bratnahott Camp which le just like a city of frame huts, it has a radius of 20 mites at d populated with troops at one million. Some place alright, you are never without txtusic. The country around here is beautiful, you are see• ing something new allthe time, Well I will fell you now of my experience coming over bete, We left Woodstock on March 20ch, the send- off the people gave us wae,ae,it seemed to me, as if we had lived there. all our life time, The crowd at the station was 4o large that it kept us busy pushing our way through and it was that way from the Main St, down to the station. I was kept busy for an hoer shaking hands and bidding good. bye. Really, I never want to go rrbrough the same again. Well we landed at Halifax on Sato April let at noon. Our trip was very iatereeting especially through N. B and N. S. where there are all kinds of mountains. We had a small route march around the Slums of Montreal, these people there are all French and to hear them blibber away, The next place we had a march at was Camp- bellford, N. B. it was there that we changed our time to an hour ahead, and the time here is 5:10 ahead of Can - adieu time. It was at noon Saturday when we arrived at Halifax, N. S., we waited there until 3 o'clock before we embarked in the "Olympic." HIGH COST OF LIVING We were docked there until five o'clock Sunday evening, when we pulled out of dock about a mile to coal All day Sunday we did nothing but roam the ship and got lost a good many times. There were four bands on board and they supplied music all day, they had a contest for bands and the 71st took let prize. There were four battalions and a bunch of Special De- tach Companies beside about 75 R. C. Nurses. Their was a Mies Hanna from Winghatn on board. On Wedneeday morning at 0:15 we bid our last farewell to Canada and as we pulled out the band played the "Maple Leaf Forever." It was pour- ing rain and storming to beat the care. up, the ship burns 8,000 tons a day. It ie a four funnel ship and is the larg- est passenger ship afloat, just like a small city afloat. When we were about 7 miles out a ship came out to take the pilot off our ship and the waves were so rough that it crushed against our ship and broke its mast and riggin and a couple of Life boats on our ship which both fell into the water and they were both let drift. I guess that is where the rumor started obout the Olympic being sunk, but it was only a rumor. Thursday there was a thick fog and you could hear nothing but that old fog horn blowing every minute. In the morning we had to fall in for para ader which lasted for an hour of marching around the top deck, Four and a half times around was one mile so you can imagine the size of the ship. Friday the weather was the same as Thursday, and carried on the same as usual only we had physical in the af- ternoon for an hour, Satarday morning we had our par- ade as usual. In the afternoon we did nothing but promenade the deck to. listen to the music which was very plentiful. We also saw the first and only ship at sea which was a great attraction. Sunday we had church parade in the the afternoon the music was very plentiful. Monday we paraded as usual but at noon things were vere very exciting as we sighted land for the first time, this was noon and all afternoon we did nothing but watch two torpedo de- stroyers which came from England to meet us and they were the only es- corts we had all the way over. They went one on each side of our ship at the bow. Tuesday morning we found our- selves in the river Mercy. The scenery along the, chores was beautif al, it would take too much paper to describe It. There were about a thousand sea gulls came out to meet us. We land 1 ed at Liverpool at 10 a.m. but it was 3 p.m, before we disembarked. Believe me, 1 couldn't help but laugh at the trains here they are so small, just about one third the site of Canadian cars. They are divided into four com- partments each hart holding 8 Men. Some siz 1 We left Liverpool at 6 >p,, tn. and arrived at Braneshott at 3 a.m. The scenery along the way was cer- tainly very interesting. At dark all blinds in the train have to be pulled down, all cities and towns are in ltark- nese, even the lamps at the stations are shaded. After arriving at our station we hod to walk twee miles With all our kit and by the time we arrived we were just about all in, as the trip was very tite some. Guess I will have to oloee now ad It is titxie foe "lighte out," Well I am feeling fine and all le well.

Oa the contrary those who save wisely advantage tbemeelves, their neighboure and their country. Spending money on luxury gives a certain amount of em- ployment, but nothing like the em- ployment that investment in desirable and necessary articles does. The beet way to convoy the meat in this useful and timely pamphlet would seem to be to summarize its contents in brief. emphatic sentences, as follows— Thrift is a national dote, so that the money thus saved may be invested With the government, The more goods we buy at home Fred Ross was a visltgr with relatives and the more we make and send abroad the richer the country be comes.

A free demonstration of any style le available to anyone interested, By devoting all our engergies to producing things useful and abandon- ing the purely ornamental and the luxurious we are helping the country. The only money judiciously spent is that that keeps ourselves in health of mind and body and that by invest- ment in productiveness helps in the progress of the land and the country. Women are the main power in the campaign for thrift, As leaders of the home they can best foster econo my in food and clothing. Reduction ite meat -eating might be generally practised without lose of etrength . Che€s3 is one of the beet and most wholesome substitutes for meat. Economy and good digestion are aided by never eating bread that is not at least 24 hours old. Ten per cent. of the cost of bread would be saved by rigidly adhering to this simple practice. Fewer coursed at dinner would not mean any wearing on the health, but less work and mare -saving. It is in dress that women could best economize, Simplicity of material does not mean less attractiveness, Excessive expenditure on weddings and funerals should be avoided. Labour released from the manufac- ture and Bale of things that can be die- pensed with is available for other and more useful work. Expenditure on golf, tennis and other games of pleasure could be bene- ficially curtailed. The giving of presents on • all trivial occasions ie to be discouraged and. when given, they should be of an -in- expensive and useful character. Presents and gifts might take the form of war -loan vouchere. Much money might be saved by spending less on hobbies. Neighbours could benefit each other by systematically combining to buy food in quantities and sharing it. Economy today means riches in the future.

Dickson, of the law firm of Dickson & Carling, Exeter, has been appointed senior county judge of Huron to succeed Judgo Doyle, re- tired. The Exeter Advocate in refer- ring to the appointment, says. Mr. Dickson bas been practising Mw in Exeter for over thirty years, but is yet a comparatively young man, being a few years over fifty. The time ie well chosen. It bas been the custew Jai se- lect men for the judiciary who are ripe in years, and the custom has much to commend it. There should be exper- ience behind a judge. He should have ample knowledge of the ways and wiles of humanity that will parade before him demanding, or seeking to thwart justice. But, too often men have received the honor of a judicial appointment, who were possessed of preconceived ideas, backed by strong wille. The "open mind" was lacking. Legal training had not succeeded in banishing more or less serious pre- judices. There was harshness is the spirit and an inability to look at mat- ters from the standpoint of the sinning as well as the sinned against. The administration of the law as a punish. mentrather than as a deterrent and a protection to society was the upper- most thought. In civil cases there was the recognition of leen technical- ities sometimes at the expenses of jus. tice itself. A young man coating to bench should have none of these faults, and in the ease of Judge Dickson we have every reason to think that he will be found a man of broad sympa- thies, clearheaded and courageous, and capable of maintaining the best tradi- tions of the Canadian bench. Mr. Dickson was born at Pakenham, in the County of Lanark, in the year 1860; educated at Pemhtnke High School' •and Kingston Collegiate In- stitute. He began the study of law under Thomas Deaoon, K, O., of Pem- broke, afterwards Judgo of Renfrew County. He completed his education in Toronto ite the office of Hector 0 une. on. K. C7., and graduated in 1884 Ile began the ptactice of law in Exeter in December, WI, and continued prac- tice itt Exeter aver since.
