:for Production
Just as surely as lack of food is strangling Germany
day by day, so plenty of food is winning the victory
for the allies. The I+ rench armies, for instance, were
never better fed than now, forpra.nce cannot forget
the awful lesson of 1870—the failure of her food
supply. To this she attributed the loss of that war.
'to feed the I+rench soldiers around Verdun, more than 25,-
500,000 pounds of food a week Were required. This gives a
faint idea of the colossal task of feeding an army. Canada and
flritain have a,huge army of figlting heroes on theliue ; every
than MUST have plenty of food, in spite of a world shortage,
Upon Canada'sfood production all principally rely.
The Farmers of Ontario

-The farmers of Ontario need the help of retired farinerd, of
viten following tlo occupation (retired), of business menthe

MR. George McLaren Brown,
European manager of the
Canadian Pacific Railway in
London, has forwarded the accom-
panying pictures, which allow those
of us who are safe at home a glimpse
of those who are keeping us safe at
the risk of their otvn lives. The
first illustration portrays musketry
drill aboard a British battleship in
the Mediterranean Sea, and the sec-
ond shows a number of Jack Tare
loading a . naval quick -firing gun.
Undoubtedly the greatest force en-
gaged in the present conflict is the
British navy. Ever since the out-

THE (GREEDY PARASITES
Say Mr. Editort-,Cheer up there is
bread in Egypt ye`, our elevators in
the West are alinoat groaning with
their burden and our granaries are
full. Our only trouble is in getting
it shipped which we hope will soon be
more easily accomplished.
Just fancy, potatoes in the West $1,
per bag and oats 31 cents per bushel.
A gentleman visiting in Wingbam
"from the West" three weeks ago
bought a carload of oats and after
waiting a while succeeded in getting
them Landed in Wingham, realizing
upon this single shipment the snug
little profit of $471.00, not so bad is
i•? There are a lot of land ebarke in
Canada (Loyal Canada) who are mak-
ing money by the bushel; while men of
small means are being bled to death
by big charges and exorbitant prolit.
They are now calling for fifty
'thousand men to volunteer for active
service; it is good to be loyal and
willing, but which would be the worst?
War or a bread famint?
Feeding our men, their wives and
little ones mutt be considered, though
we have to make sacrifices in other
directions.
One big trouble now, is the spirit
of greed holding and still holding on,
hoping thus to bleed to the last drop
the workers and the tellers, tiome-
times sir we are inclined to emphasize
our superlatives a little to strongly;
but in a cpse of wheat cornering or the
holding on to any produce in order
that a little select bunch may become
millionaires then such action we
would condemn with the very strong-
est superlatives, and anathemas, that
grammar could find and language
could express.
Cannot the government step in sir
and say so far shall thou go and no
further ? At this terrible time when
widows weep and children mourn and
all nations are greatly troubled, to
think that these Hyenas should
gather together in order to heap up
their riches in order that their wives
and their daughters may be dressed in
Irina som and gold; watch lest ltussia,s
action of the past rveek be repeated in
Canada, to think that there is bread
enough and to spare, but yet greedy
parasites are allowed to withhold the
