In view of the reference to the Mon• roe Doctrine in the discueeione that are proceeding in Europe and all over the American Continent, it may be of service to reproduce once more the first enunciation of that doctrine by the President whose name it bears in his message to Congress nn December 2nd 1823, (hie second term), was Contained in these two paragraphs of that mes- sage: "In the discussion o which this in. t'reet has given rise, and in the ar- r,:,ngenlents by which they may term- inare, the occasion has been deemed proper for asserting, as a principle in which rights and interests of the United States are involved, that the American continents, by the free anti independent condition which they have assumed and maintained, are henceforth not to be considered as eut. jsete for future colonization by any European Powere. • ' . "We owe it, therefore, to candor and to the amicable relatione existing between the United States and those powers to declare that we should con - eider any attempt on their part to ex- tend theirsystem to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety. With the existing colonies or dependencies of any Eur- opean power we have not interfered and shall not interfore. But with the Governments who have declared their independence and maintain it' and whose independence we have, on great consideration and on just prin- ciples, acknowledged, we could net view any interposltien for the purpose of oppressing them or controlling' in any other tnanner their destiny by any European power in any other light than as the manifestation of an un• friendly diepoeition Owed the United Statee," Promotion Examinations for 1.7. 5 S., No. 17, Belgrave.

Keep hens, this year GG and poultry prices, the like of which have seldom` or never been a cperiencecl, certainly make it worth anyone's while to start keeping hens. By doing so you have fresh eggs at the most trifling cost. At the same time you have,the splendid satisfaetion of knowing that you are doing something towards helping Britain, Canada and the Allies achieve victory this year. Increased production of food helps not only to lower the high cost of living, but it helps to increase the. urgently needed surplus of Canada's food for export., It saves money otherwise spent for eggs and poultry' at high prices, and saves the labor of others whose effort is needed for more vital war work. 'rhe Ontario Department of Agriculture will give every possible assistance by affording information about poultry keeping. Write for free bulletin which tells how, to keep hens (address below).
