It MI beiremlembered that they were slot given temporary ex- emption last fall, as were the farmers' boys, Without a doubt, it is an un- fortunate fact that 1ga-eat help is need- ed On, thle Ifarms„ but if in•any c.orres- pondents of the claiify papers are cor- rect tho farmers tare not accepting the offers of help tfrom the towns as .r.:ad- lay as lone would expect them to. Town !help is pot as valuable to the farmer as his own boy would be, but all manufactutring ;conoer.ns for three years begat up agailrust the pre- position ;of-tratairig new help for their work, and all .busine,Ss' concerns are doing, without needed help. Nobody considers the (farmers disloyal, in this effort to 'retail% their help. They are anxitouc to win the war, and, it is to be hoped the Gevernment can take them •into their confidence, and show them the real neciescsit3.1. This is a time of disappointment and trial, hard- ship and inconvenience, hard work and liong hours, privation and suffer- ing and death; but if the peoples of the Allied Nations are not willing to put wiitth all this anId, do the beat they can, alio andtter what the trying conditens may be, then of what value has all the sacrifice been? Aecrl use the war cannot be won unless we ;;;1. - together present .a solid, persevering and steadDast •front to the enemy, .no matter what our inconventiencl ar. sok- tering IC" socriflee may be. • Thiankinr; you, "Unity" DISTRICT CASUALTIES 'Killed Flying Cadet Noble Johnston of St. Marys, killed at Toronto.
