journal • devoted to the interests of
the 20th` Battalion, C. E. F. with
which Battalion Lieut. Torrance .is
now connected. The paper is an inter
esting ,eight page booklet, cheerful,
funny and interesting, and apparently
reflecting thebright 'spirit of the boys
in the front line, 'even under adverse
conditions of rain and cold and mud.
We clip the following verse,
Oli, the rain, the mud, and the cold,
The cold, the mud, and the rain
With weather at zero it's hard for a
hero
From language that's rude to refrain,
With porridgy muck to the knees,
With sky that's a -pouring a flood,
Sure the worst of our foes
Are the pains and the woes
Of the. Rain,
the Cold,
and the Mud.

APPEAL TO THE • FARMER.
For two years and a half, War, red
and ruinous, has- raged through the
world, and. still no decision has been
reached. There is reason to hop
that, before -1917 closes the struggle
far liberty will have been, won, or
greatly advanced, Amid the varying
phrases 'of this titanic. conflict the
tact stand out more clearly than
ever that agriculture is of stpr'erne
importance. Extraordinary measures
t
are being'take,n by tine allied countries
to increase and encourage prodat.tion.
It its earnestly ,hoped that every ,far-
mer lb "'Canada will -strive to increase
