The food resources of the world, except for aratively few countries which are practically inaccessible un- der present shipping conditions are exhausted, and it is a primme, military and economic necessity to build up and to maintain these resources. The food situation will not` be safe at least un- til the 1919 crop situation is known. The people of Canada have -already done splendidly, both as regards pro- duction and conservation.

But she's all right now, and I tell you the world seems a different place." Walking along the street, Maguire greeted nearly every one that he met. Jerry could not but be impressed by the pleased expression on the faces of those whom he thus recognized or by the democratic salutions of many obviously unimportant men and wo- men,—"Hello, Pat." There must be something genuine and meritorious about such a man. The next time that Jerry accom- panied Sheehan he' was taken to see some of the homes of protected vice. Gambling -houses and brothels flourish- ed behind as fair a front as that of any respectable dwelling. "Take note of Fern; write the num- bers in your Little" book," said Shee- han. "It's a wise thing to know all the joints, even though you're not given the power to go in and smash em. "Why aren't we?" "I guess it's because it's profitable to some of our bosses to have 'em do business . " "Aren't they ever raided?" "Oh, once in so often there's a raid, after every one in the district has been tipped off." "What's the reason? Who is it that's crooked?" • "I've only got my suspicions." (To be continued.)
