THE
WINGHAM TIMES
OUR PEACE WITH CANADA
THE monstrous folly of washes vivid
exemplification in Detroit, where we
dwell within view of foreign soil and
have for a century heard no rumour of
armed conflict,
Along thousands of miies of boundary
there is no fortification. Old Fort
Wayne, lying deserted since the Med-
Can trouble, is as near an approach to
armament as exists on the border.
Green and calm are her lawns and our
Canadian neighbors may regard her an-
tiquated equipment as a pledge of ever-
lasting friendliness.
There is rich soil of land to the north
yet the only covetous eye cast npon it
is the eye of the American homestead-
er who heeds the beckoning of Cana-
dian railroads and goes to carve out
his fortunes under the Union Jack,
Our territories merge and our fresh
and salt seas mingle, yet save for a
revenue cutter or so, designed for pol-
ice duty, no belligerent keel ranges the
international coast lines.
The relationship of the two countries
is not an Utopian arrangement by any
means, nor is it the patronizing toler-
• ance of a stronger for the weaker and
dependent power, Armed England
stands close behind the Dominion and
her wrongs can easily be made Bri-
tain's.
We argue, sometimes,. over the back
fence, the questions of tariff, of fishing
rights, of labor importation and whis-
pers concerning annexation have
brought forth sharp words frequently.
Yet neither neighbor keeps a loaded
shot gun hanging back of the kitchen
stove, neither has a savage bull ,dog
lightly chained beneath the door step.

MUST PRoDUCE MORE.
The Farmers' Advocate in comment-
ing on the war says; "Through it all
the farmer occupies the best position.
He can at least produce his own food in
plenty, but even he should be careful at
this time. If he never was of a saving
disposition before he should try it now.
It is a good time to be cautious, to
conserve feeding stuffs for the live
stock rather than sell them off on a
rising market. Unnecessary expense
should be avoided. In short, do as the
business man does, "piny safe". This
can be accomplished without furore or
excitement, Simply resolve to cut out
unnecessary luxury, and conserve the
products and profits of the land to be
used to best advantage. Look ahead
and plan to meet all possible applications
squarely. Cut out the waste, and above
all put forth every ounce of energy to
make the old farm produce as it never
has produced before. You are not
likely to hear much about over pro-
duction for a year or two. First of all,
conserve this year's resources of the
land and lay the plans well for a bump-
er crop in 1915. The Canadian farmer
has an important duty to perform, both
as regards his own welfare and that of
his country. He has always done what
was expected of him and. will do so
again. Conservation is the word."

Neuralgia
of the Heart
This Letter Tells of Wonderful Change
Effected by Dr. Chase's Nerve Food.
Mr. James G. Clark Fosterville,
York County, N.B., writes: -"I have
been a great sufferer from what the
doctors said was neuralgia of the
heart. The pain started in the back
of the neck and worked dovvn into the
region of the heart, Though I had
taken a lot of medicine of one kind
and another, I could not got anything
to help me until I used Dr. Chase's
Nerve Food.
"When I began this treatment I
could not rest in bed, except by sitting
upright, on account of the dreadful
pains about the heart and the quick,
loud beating. The change which Dr.
Chase's Nerve Food has made in my
condition is wonderful. It has en-
tirely overcome these symptoms, and
is making me strong and well. If this
statement will help to relieve the suf-
fering of others, you are at liberty to
use it."

tonic and the greatest of nerve re-
storatives. 50 cents a box, 6 for $2.50;

THE STUDY OF INSECTS,
In Recent Years It Has Been Brought
to the Farmer's Aid.
[Prepared by 'United States department
agriculture.]
It is only within comparatively ret
cent years that entomology, or Oil
study of insects, has been brought to
the praeticel aid of the farmer. lathe
olddays the scientists specializing in
this branch were almost wholly eh -
sorbed in obtaluing specimens of in.
secte and describing them. In the
meantime the farmer knew as little
about "entomology" as the scientiet
knew about agriculture. Misconcep-
tions among farmers regarding the oc-
currence of destructive insects were
widespread, and the only men who
really knew anything about the insects
causing the destruction kept their
knewledge to themselves.
During the first hundred years ot
agriculture in America we have only
Sragmentary records of the ravages
of insects. They chronicled, however,
certain very disastrous outbreaks, and
much of the vast amount of injury
Following are the war gifts of Can-
ada and her Province to the Mother

Dominion -1,000,000 bags of flour.
Ontario -250,000 brrgs of flour. ,

SOME PRESERVING HINTS
(Eleanor Robbins Wilson in Nautilus)
You may can your grouches and wor-
ries
Set away in a cool, dark room,
And when you are hankering for such
things
Just tap them alone in the gloom -
But sunshine and laughter and singing
The fruits of your honest good cheer
Just pass these on fresh to your neigh-
bor
At any old time of the year.

caused by pests went unnoticed be-
cause the farmers were often unac-
quainted with 'the reason for their
losses,
this time ordinary insect out-
breaks appear to have become so com-
mon as to be thought unworthy of rec-
ord, and. we have nothing more until
the year 1743, when it is stated that 1
"millions of devouring worms . In ar-
mies threatened to cut off every green
thing. Hay very scarce; £7 to £8 a
load." While this particular record ap.
plies to New England, it certainly does
not cover the entire area of devasta-
tion, as John Bartram. during July of
that year, made a ,lotirney from Phil- ,
adelphia to Oswego. N. Y.. and records 1
the occurrence of worms, which he
says have done mueli mischief "by de-
stroying the grass and even corn for I
two summers." He also observes that
the worms ate off the blades not only 1
of corn, but also of long white grass,
so that the stems of' both stood naked
four feet high. He observes that they ;
seem to be periodical, like the locust
and caterpillar.
Daring the year 1740 we are told that
in July grasshoppers appeared in myr-
iads. The observer stated: "I reckon
my poultry, about a hundred, eat 10,-
000 grasshoppers every clay. The in-
habitants of Nahant, Blass., formed. a
line and with bushes drove the grass-
hoppers into the sea by millions." In
1702 a terrible drought appears to have
occurred, and, owing to a very late
spring, corn could not be planted at
the proper season. Statement is made I
that "when at last the corn was plant- '
cd millions of worms appeared to eat 1
It up."
For upward of a hundred years our I
records are very incomplete, although
there are indefinite references in exist-
ence to show that this is not owing to
a lack of insect depredations in the
fields of the farmer.
In 1770 there appears to have been
a widespread outbreak of our common
army worm, which, it is stated, ex-
tended from Langston, N. H., to North-
field, Mass. These ate wheat and corn
and disappeared as if by magic, leav-
ing nothing but the bare stalks of
these crops. It seems that the farm-
ers in order to protect their fields drew
ropes over them, brushing the worms
from the stalks, which expedient, we
are told, only retarded the devastation,
the crops being finally doomed to de-
struction. Trenches were dug in the
fields in advance of the moving armies
of worms, but the worms soon filled
the ditches, and the millions that were
Ib the rear went over on the backs of
their fellows in the trenches and took
possession of the interdicted food.
Holes *sere sometimes made in the bot-
toms of these ditches, ono every two
or three feet, into which the worms
fell and were then killed by the Pant -
era going over the fields and plunging
bars or sticks of wood into these holes.
It seems, however, that only a few
farmers were able to save enough corn
for seed the following year. Just
eleven years afterward, in 1781, ths
same pest IS again recorded. It seem,
also to have reappeared in 1700. Trap-
ping by means of ditches and holes te
used in present day methods of cor.
fret, but the wortaa are'llilled"by pour
Ing kerosene into the holes.
Not only is the Atnerican farmer now
receiving assistance through the infers
mation of scientists regarding cereal
ttad forage insects, bsit those -affecting
fruitti and truck crops are also receiv-
ing attention. That the United States
Is In advanee Of other nationin the
practical applieation o .the study ot
inSectS t� the needs of the farmer is
Made plain by the fact that students'
ttnd experts are coming from all tristir
the World to study our systotv sa•
methods. .
If you've raited some jokes by your
lonely,
Just pull them and pass them along,
If happiness tickles your heart -strings,
Then hand out the joy in 5 ong;
If sunshine falls warm on your garden.
Don't wall it and shut it apart.
But throw the gates wide to your
neighbor
And give him the fill of his heart.
The wcrld is never too busy
To tender a welcome worth while
To one who is thoughtful of others,
Who brightens the day with a smile -
The person who strives to can troubles
And closets them where we can't see
Who trots out the laughter of living
And divvies with you and with me.

STUCK TO HIS FAITH.
Anyhow It Paid the Young Prussian
Not to Change It.
A king of Prussia who reigned about
the beginning of last century WNS not-
ed for his geniality, and often In the
course of his walks through the streets
would enter into conversation with his
subjects.
One day he met a young man and
asked him what his faith was. The
youth, who was somewhat of a Wag,
answered, smiling, "I believe what my
tailor believes." he king entered
pleasantly into the joke and then ask-
ed again, "And what does your tailor
believe in?" "Your majesty," replied
the young man, "he believes that he
will never get the 30 marks which I
owe him, and I believe it also."
The kiiig laughed heartily at the out-
spoken and unrestrained way in which
he had answered him, and then gave
him 30 marks. "Now, then, you can
pay your tailor and so change his
faith." The young man fancied, how-
ever, that he could use the money for
a better purpose, and the tailor nat-
urally went unpaid.
Not long afterward the king met the
same youth, who, as be saw his maj-
esty approaching, tried to escape down
a side street. The king had, however,
espied him and called after him. The
youth, somewhat crestfallen and
abashed, approached his majesty, who
at once asked lilm if he had paid his
tailor. A smile passed over the young
nian's face as he replied, "Your majes-
ty, I could not change my faith for
30 marks."
Suppose Paris Should Fall?
Suppose the German reports of vic-
tories contain no exaggeration; suppose
further, that the Germans within the
next three weeks, invest Paris; suppose
finally, that Paris capitulates after a
siege no longer than the former one,
which lasted 131 days.
What, then, will be the condition of
things along about February 1, next?
Will Germany be able. to dictate a peace
of value to her? it is difficult to think
any German thinks so.
It is improbable that Russia, spared
the brunt of the German attack through
the concentration of effort against
France, will be whipped by the time
mentioned. It is also improbable that
Great Britain will have lost command
of the sea, or that German commeroial
relations will have been re-established.
Paris looms large in the popular im-
agination, but its capture by Germany
is no more likely to end the war than
did the capture of Berlin and later of
Moscow end the war against the first
Napoleon. Great Britain, unless she
loses her fleet, will remain practically
invulnerable and be capable of main-
taining great armies in the field. Rus-
sia will have great armies in the field.
Russia is practically untonquerable,
her great Slav population believes it is
fighting a holy war against tbe aggres-
sions of the hated Teutons.
The war was a horrible blunder. It
1would have been avoided if Germany
' had accepted the fair offer that the
question of what reparation, if any, is
due from Servia and Austria should be
submitted to a European conference.
If Germany has a statesman he will
make use of any victcries that may be
gained to offer to accept the terms that
were offered by Russia, France and
Great Britain a month ago. -New York

The Proper Sodium Solution to tile In

Medical journitl the statement Is made
that mercuric chloride poisoning can be

"Attention 81100111 therefore again be

the Ansel -lean Medical Assoela don,
"that tbe names 'sodiuni phosphate'

that a serious error cau be made by
