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."

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.

Mrs. Eugene Cadarette. Amherstburg, Ont., says: "I suffered for a long time from dizziness, pain in the back and sick headache. and noth- ing I took did me any good until I be- gan Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These cured me after taking six boxes and I now feel better than ever I did in my life. I had fallen off in weight to 82 pounds, and after taking the pills 1 had increased to 100 pounds.

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- terest in.

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.
