CHAPTER XIV.
It was three weeks- later that the
notification came from the Police Com-
missioner. Mrs. Donohue handed it
to Jerry one evening when he return-
ed from his work, and 'watched his
face eagerly while he read it.
"What does he say? ' Yqu're the
provoking fellow...—you've not got the
words of the manner in wh'ich he was

mean a little more gay, and he would

Jerry cheerfully. And he and Mr.
Murray parted with a sense of consid-
erable respect on each side.
Every day Jerry expected his mo-
ther to confess that she had been•un-
able to contain the great secret; each
evening when he came home he would
say to her, "I guess now that your
tongue has at last got the best of
you and you've been blabbing to
Kate," and Mrs. Donohue would reply,
spiritedly, "Indeed, now- I "have not."
But one evening upon his arrival he
found her with such a cloud -of' wrath
darkening her brow that he forbore
to make' the customary accusstion
and asked instead, "What on earth has

Arrangements have been completed
by the Canada Food'Board with the
United' States 'Food Administration
by which 15,000 tons' of linseed oil -
cake and meal will be supplied to
relieve the conditions 'which prevail
in Canada owing to the scarcity of
feed and fodder.
The Food Board will be—responsible
for the allocation of the oil cake and
meal. All dealers who wish to im-
port'these commodities must attach to

a sworn statements of the quantities
sold during ,the three' years prior to
July lit and distribution will be made
on this basis., Applications should
be sent direct to the Canada Food
Board.
Every city, ,, town and {village in
Canada should have a farm employ-
ment agency in charger of some good,
live local man. Farmers want help,
and it is the duty of the towns and
cities to provide it if ,there is no other
source of supply. ,. Able bodied
young men of all classes'have been
enlisted for the army, and the fac-
tories hat. already drained the coun-
try -of regular. farm laborers. There
is no immigration to help the situa-
tion. The : United States wants
about a million or more• men for its
own harvest. Some of those men
will doubtless be available in Alberta,
Saskatchewan and Manitoba‘ for the
Canadian wheat after the American
crop is in, but the great bulk of the
extra labor required on Canadian
farms this year, will have to come
from Canadian towns and.. cities.
To enable these men to be distribut-
ed when they do come forward, as by
their Registration cards ` they have
promised to do, there should be ma-
chinery ready
achinery`ready and well organized. In.
some Provinces the local Governrnent
has established employment agencies.
Every province might well have simi-
lar offices supplemented by, voluntary
organizations in every centre. Busi-
ness men in every .other
Canadian town, should become active
in thismatter because it vitally con-
cerns them. Employers of labor: should
do everything in their power to ar-
range their work so as -to release men
who are willing to go to ,the aid of
th,e._,farmers Every encouragement
should be given these men, for this.
work is of first importance. Farm-
ers; of course, prefer experienced men,
and men who, have been brought up on
farms or spent some years on the land
should be specially encouraged to
devote .a' few weeks -of their time and
the capital of their experience to the
harvest of 1918. Extra men for the
harvest are wantedin every, province

The Shred of My Country.
(Tf anslation of a poem by the famous
.Belgian,poet, Emile Verhaeren).
'Tis but a patch of ground in the in-
finite space of earth
The North
Looses on it its bitter biting wind;
'Tis but a little land • bordering on the;
sea,
With the long heaving of its desert
dunes.
0 sacred names, Wulpen, Pervyse'and,
Ramscapelle!' k:
'Tis near your spires in their vast
cemeteries
That they' only repose,
Those who fought fpr you With' all
their furious strength. '
The land` that loved them has taken
them to herself
In so fast an embrace that without
winding sheet or shell
Their' very bones are gripped by the
clasping of its soil
Sometimes
In simple garb of loth or else of wool
She whom they acclaimed in glad
proud days their 'Queen
Comes wandering and .prays amid
these cross -marked graves.
Timid her gesture, modest, discreet
her form, b ,
As she lingering dreams, and when
eve comes on
Yonder towards the dunes, grows dim
and disappears.

To the muddy brink of Yser's sombre -
