Do you find your underwear a bit thin this
cold weather. If so do not lose any time
in fitting yourself out with a coupleof
new suits.
All medium and heavy weight winter
underwear has been reduced in price to
such an extent that there shouldn't be a
garment in our stock in a week's time.
Well known makes, such as Stanfield's,
Penman's and St, George, are included in
the above.
It is a well known fact that all wool,.
goods will be very much higher in price
next 'winter. Why not lay in a supply of
underwear now for next winter's use and
avoid paying the high price.

PATRIOTISi in PIODUCTION
The mpire's Call to Fanners
"Approximately twenty million men have been mobilized in Europe. A large pro-
portion of these have been withdrawn from the farms of the countries at war. Even in
neutral countries large numbers' of food producers have been called'from the land to be
ready for emergencies. It is difficult for us to realize what will be the effect on food pro-
duction through the withdrawal of several million men from all the great agricultural
countries of Europe. These millions cease to be producers, they have become consumers,
-worse still, they have become destroyers of food."
.170X. 'IiteiRTM BURNELL, Minister, of Agriculture-.
Britain must have food—food this year,
and_food next year. Britain is looking to
Canada to supply most of that food. We
are sending our surplus now, but we must
prepare for a larger surplus
this year and next year.
Patriotism and Prodtction
must go hand in hand
Because of this need of
the Empire for more food, and
the call to Canada in that
need, the Canadian Depart-
ment of Agriculture has
arranged for a series of Conferences
throughout the Dominion with the object
of giving suggestions as to the best ways of
increasing production of the particular
products needed at this time. At these con-
ferences agricultural specialists, whhave
studied agricultural conditions an roduc-
tion throughout the world, an . , e best
means of incre• . ng agricul-
tural produ n in Canada,
will give • uable information
and -_ gestions to the farm -
e ye -stock men, dairymen,
oultrymen, vegetable
growers, and other producers
of this country. The Canad-
ian Department of Agriculture
urges you to attend as many of these Con-
ferences as possible, also to watch for other
information on the subject that will be given
in other announcements in this newspaper.
Put 'Energy into Production of Staple Foods
The Government does not ask
farmers to work harder, so
much as it urges them to make
their work more productive, and
to produce those staple foods
that the Empire most needs and
that can be most easily stored
and transported.
Europe, and particularly
Britain, will need the following
staple foods from Canada more
than ever before: -
Wheat, oats, corn, beans, peas.
Beef, mutton, bacon and ham.
Cheese and butter.
Canadian
Department of
Agriculture,
Ottawa, Canada
Its
Poultry and eggs.
Vegetables, such as potatoes,
onions, and turnips.
The larger the yield of these
staple food products, the greater
the service to the Empire.
Germany in the, last ten years
has doubled the average yield
of the majority of her field
crops largely through better
seed, thorough cultivation and
use of fertilizer. And while
the Empire's armies are busy
putting down German Militar-
ism, let us at home appropriate
the best of Germany's agricul-
Lural methods for the Empire's
advantage.
The Government urges
farmers, stockmen, dairymen
and other producers to make a
wider use of the i'ree Bulletins
issued by the Canadian Depart-
ment of Agriculture. Clip out,
