WHEN THE (TAME ISN'T FAIR
• o we struggle up lifeti hillside
Where the road is hard and long,
Weak, discouraged, tired, lonely,
And with everything gone wrong;
When we see some men refusing
Their allotted load to bear,
While their brother's back ie breaking
Then we know the game'e:net fair.
When we see some men grow wealthy.
While their brothers die in France,
We rebel at the injustice,
And -demand au even chance;
When we see some children hungry
With no decent clothes to wear,
And some others stuffed and pampered
Then we know the game's not fair.
When we have to pay high taxes
On our little wooden shack,
Though the mortgage isn't settled
And the interest is back,
Whenthe, rich man's stately mansion
Doesn't, pay its proper share,
And he lies about his income
Then we know the game's not fair.
When we read in all the papere
How our boys are strafing Fritz,
Throwing bombe into his trenches
For to blow him alt to bits.
When we think of him that started
Thin vile war, then we deolare
If the Kaiser goes unpunished
-We eball know the game's not fair.

ANSWER TO UNCLE JOSH
Wingham, April 9, 1917
Dear IJucle:-
In your letter of April btb'I could.
not tell whether you were going or
coming. Was I. wrong in believing
that with your anathematizing you
were leading us up to the main
thought, preparing us for the climax
which read "watch lest Russia's action
of the past week be repeated in Can.
ada:" How our enemies must have
enjoyed reading the paragraph in
your first letter I have here quoted,
and how timely with the great West-
ern drive of the British and French.
Now, Mr. Editor, was I wrong to call
that threat a stab in the back, was it
not a betrayal to the boys . in the
trenches, was it not the words of an
agitator? Now, Uncle, if you will
again read my first letter you may see
through it a little more clearly. Is it
surprising that living is expensive
when more than 40,000,000 men have
been removed from the land or from
industry to fill the armies, that is five
times the population of Canada. Aleo
the world's available supplies of food
stuffs is absolutely gone,
• OLD SCOUT
is Now Flight Lieut.
One of the usual formal army post
cards has been received from Flight
Lieut, Dudley E. Holmes, dated March
15th, 1017, stating that he was in
g
France. Lt. Holmee enlisted with the
181st Batt, from here and went t.e, Eng.
land but having a preference for
aviation he was transferred to the
Royal Flying Corps. He states -that
he has had a number of flights and
that be likes the work very much,
Au Absurd. Fad
The proposition to plow up parks,
play grounds, etc., throughout Oetar•
is and plant them in potatoes to be cul-
tivated voluntarily by school children,
elderly and leisurely 'persons, civic of-
ficials, and the "working classes," after
hours, is an absurd fad --a crazy,
idiotic idea, born of ignorance, which
would result in a loss of money, waste
of labor, spoiling of grounds and the
production of a few if any potatoes.
There ie enough idle farm latad in On-
tario to grow more potatoes than
500,000,000 Irishmen could eat. Half.
the gardene in villages, towns and cit-
ies are not cultivated, as the owners or
occupants are not inclined to work
them -call it laziness, thriftleaaness,
or what you like, Mr. and Mee, Social
Reformer Busybody, but, it's a fact,
nevertheless. --Walkerton Times.
A Successful Shadow Social
A novel and highly succ
essful enter.
tainment in the form of a "Shadow
Social" was held at the home of Mr.
Win. Anderson 12th oon. East Wawa,

gramophone ns and °oma
improm pin speeches. Speeches were
given by Messrs Wm. J. Currie. ;Rohl
Currie, 7. J. Kerr, Wm. Naylor, and
Geo. Cruikebanks Jr, and were very
entertaining. The speechee by Mre.
Hambly Mrs. I. 3. Kerr, and Mre. W.
J. Currie were quite intereetir.g and
gave a very modern tone to t'ae pro.
gramme. The shadows were amusing
and were auctioned by Mr. Bennett,
Who in the capacity acit p y" of I chair
man also
added much to the humour of tha
evening. Then everyone enjoyed the
excellent lunch prepared by the ladies,
A vote of thanks was tendered Mr. and
Mrs. Anderson for their kindness in
offering the Ube of their home for the
(Mial. The net proceeds were $'26.44,
and with donations since received,
amounted to $31,40 which was given

Dear Mr •. Moffatt: --
Whilst carrying on my everyday
duties I happened to ask our Q. M. S.
if he had a pair of socks, mine being
badly in need of repair and had no
change. However I got a pair much
to my surprise, as such things are
scarce around here. Again I got a
surprise, the eender's name and address
with the date Jany. 26th 1015 so I re-
solved to write a line to let you know
your present had not got lost but Was
received by a. truly, thankful soldier
(needless to state the: tnankfulnese.)
1 really don't know what some of us
would do if it were not for some of our
unknown friends back home in Canada
and if you ever have a few minutes to
spare, I would be more than pleased
to hear from you. I am sure it would
cheer me up considerably, not being a
receiver of much mail. Once again
allow me to thank you for your pre-
sent. Below you will find my address.
Yours truly.
