HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Times, 1916-05-04, Page 4The Empire needs food. If you are not in the fight-
ing line you may be in the producing line. Labour
is limited—ail the more reason to do more than ever
before. Grow food for the men who are fighting foryou. The Allies need all the food that
you can produce. Evt , r little helps. You are responsible for your own work. If you
cannot produce as much as you would like, produce all you can. Work with the right
spirit. Put fighting ener y into your effort and produce now when it counts. The more
you produce the more you can save. Producing and saving are war -service.
In war=time do not waste time and energy on unim-
portant and unprofitable work. Economize labour.
Put off unproductive work till after the war, and, if
possible, help in producing something needed now. Let us not waste labour. Canada
needs it all. If possible help to feed the Allies. Make your backyard a productive garden.
Cultivate it with a will. Make your labour count for as much as possible. •
There should be 1>,s waste in war -time. Canada could
pay the annual interest on her war expenditure out
of what we waste on our farms, in our factories, in
our homes. Every pound of food saved from waste 1 u good as a pound of increased
production. The way for a nation to save is for every individual to save. France is strong
to -day because of thrift in time of peace, The men add women of Great Britain are not
only " doing " but are learning to " do without."

THE CLARION CALL.
NEW STRENGTH
IN Tilt SPRING
Last year Canada responded mag-
nificiently to the call of the Empire.
The soil was cultivated to its utmost
limit, with the result that a bountiful
harvest was reaped. Boys and girls
united with their parents in showing
the good will and the proud national.
spirit that they possessed. They bent
their energies towards making the land
produce all that it was capable of doing.
The times were not financially good and
bitter experience had been had with
crop failure in the previous year.
Nothing daunted, they went to work
with determined will and persistence
and they reaped where they had sown.
When the crops were gathered, granaries
were full to overflowing. Canada had
cause for the celebration of the great-
est, most intense, most earnest thanks-
giving she had ever known. That
there was no unmindfulness of the
source from which all blessings flow was
shown in action as well as in words.
Patriotic gifts came from many
directions in many ways. The women
worked with life and love. They gave
the fruits of their labours and they
gave their offspring. The men devoted
their acres and their services to the
cause of the Empire. Boys and girls
cultivated what they termed war -plots.
the yields from which went towards
filling the exchequer of patriotism.
There were slackers then. there were
Scrooges then, there are the same
elements to -day, but the evidences of
sympathy far overshadowed the dis-
cordance and such a front of union was
displayed. as commanded the respect
and admiration of the world.
This year there must be no backing
up. Even the unwilling of last year,
the Scrooges and the men and women
who put personal profit before love of
country, must, if possible, be brought
into line. The situation is more intense
than it was. There is more suffering,
there are more widows and orphans•
and there are twice as many men on
the fighting line and under arms. As
the war progresses the slaughter
becomes greater, more shipping and
more property are ruthlessly destroyed,
and the cry for help,is keener. Were
it not for the British Navy our allegiance
would cost us dear. Were it not for
the united armies and for the organ-
ization for protection from assassins.
traitors and incendiaries that exists in
our own land, we should be at the
mercy of the same cruel and barbarous
forces that have over run and laid
waste Belgium, Poland and Serbia.
We should be taxed beyond all bearing.
We might even practically be slaves,
working not for ourselves, but for
tyrannical taxmasters, for men com-
pared with whom, judging from some
of their actions, Legree, the novelist' -
type of a brutal, cruel slave driver, was,
in deeds of villainy and harshness, no
worse.
The future of the Empire rested in a
large measure with Canada at the
beginning. It rests with us to a
greater extent now. We have increased
our responsibility. We have voluntars
ily added to the weight of our share of
the titanic burden. We must bear the
self-imposed load cheerfully and gener-
ously. We must show our worthiness
of the trust assumed. We must prove
our appreciation of the high and hon-
ourable partnership into which we have
entered. We must do all this and we
must perform our tasks with, if at all
possible, increased 'zealousness. To
halt or pause would be fatal. Our
works of charity must continue to the
full and be added to. Our eye, not
only on the present but also on the future,
must never hesitate or waver. When

tinued to reside till the time of his
demise. Deceased had been life connect-
ed with the Methodist Church; in
politics a Conservative, and was a
faithful and enthusiastic Orangemen,
an ardent supporter of the principles
that stand for Protestantism, on which
he was well informed on all phases of
the subject which would put many
younger men to shame. He was also
well informed on public questions of
the day. Mr. Bell seldom missed, in
his 60 years membership of the L. 0. L.,
of which he had been an Honorary
member, the opportunity of marching
in the ranks to celebrate the victory of
thg Boyne, which was dear to his
heart. Last year he marched in the
parade while many younger men rode
in carriages. For many years he dili-
gently perused the columns of the
Sentinel, watching in the minutest de-
tail the development of the principles
of Liberty which had been won by his
forefathers, which be ever had an in-

peace comes our granar
stalls must be full.
To -day we're called upon to do our
share of the fighting, to care for the
sick and wounded, to honour the dead
and to admire the living hero—and they
are all heroes who go forth—tomorrow
we may be summoned to replenish the
earth, to help in the arts of peace, and
to do all we can to assist in repairing
the terrible ravages of a war that has
taken on such proportions in magni-
tude and savagery that even ''Ama-
geddon" is scarcely thought a fitting
descriptive term. In short, it is our
duty to be prepared for any and every
eventuality, both present and future.
At war, we are yet not at war. We
can plough, sow and reap and tend our
flocks and herds undisturbed by the
thunder and artillery. We can win
glory on the battlefield or we can live
our own lives amid peace and plenty.
We can carry on our industries without
let or hindrarine. All that is demanded
is remembrance of our country and
to ourselves. Tbat is the clarion cell.
