Policy
An asci cultural cawpargn to ins
crease the food production of the Do-
miuion at the preseut juncture and
thus aid the Empire in its struggle
agalpat German militariem has been.
launched by the Federal Department
of Agriculture through the efforts of
Hon. Martin Burrell. From the out.
break of the, war the Government has
appreciated the part the economic side
will play in the coateer., and ,.her ulti•
mutely the fight may become a fight
of endurance. E rely last fall, speciflo
instructions for improving the crops
in 1915 where widely dietributed over
Canada, Mr. Burrell then decided to
hold a series of conferences through,
out the Dowinion between well in-
formed experts and the producers
themselves.
PLAN OF CAMPAIGN,
Following the policy of the Borden
Government since its coining into of-
fice, of co-operation with the pro.
vinees, the assistance of the loch.( guv..
elements was secured. Mr. C., C;
James, Commissioner of Agriculture,
bas planned the cawpteign. Officiate
and authorities will dtscuee vita pram,
tical men, in addition to the technical
mattere connected with farming,
such economic questions as markt-tie
prices, the effect of war on :demand,
the effect of shortage of labour or sup.
ply, and also effective means of secur-
ing and utilizing more end better farm
hands.
OPENED IN OTTAWA.
The opening meeting. of the cam-
paign was held in Ottawa iu connect•
ion with the Winter Fair. when Hon.
W. T, White, Finance Minister, in
theabsence of Hon. Mr. Burrell, who
was ill, gave an address on the sub-
ject of "Patriotism and Production,
In a brilliant and eloquent perolr'at-
ions, Mr. White declared:—
"Canada has for years been

pended upon to offer their lab:,ur."
:SUPREME PATRIOTISM.
Patriotism, said Mr. White, was not.
poly love of country, but ales devotion
to its welfare. Teere were mat)),
forms of patriotitm, some easily dis-
tinguished, others not generally recoil.:
nixed or acknowledged. At the pre-
sent time, in the;crisis of this great
war, the man who enlisted and offer.

country was a Patriot. This was the

THE NATION'S STRFNTII.
Armies have to be supplied with
food. Those who remain at home
have to be fed. It costs money to
wage successful war, and this money
must be obtained from production.

Canada And The War
A Forecast by
Rt Hon. Sir. Robert Borden
.In the British Isles military preparations have been imperfect
because development has prociieded along the paths of peace. The ins
atinet of the British people is against militarism, and great standing
armies are not viewed with favour.
But in the British Isles and her self-governing dominions alone
there are at least sixty miilionstof people, apopulation nearly equal to
tbat of Germany. If our preps ration for the straggle was insiguificant
compared with that of Germauy, let us not forget that her resources are
insignifieaui compared with those of this Empire. There are many
thiugs which count besides armed forme in the field. In the organize.
tion of modern war all the.nation's resourt Ps must be reckoned with.
Consider those of Canada, which even der; ]g the coming war Carl. 'Rip-
ply food products to an almost unlimited uteri.
Tho unity of purpose inspiring the British dominions and their
participation in this mar upon so vast a scale has amazed the Prussian
war lords. Also it has shattered their confident belief that the military
resources of these dominions were entirely nqgligible. There is but one
way to deal effectively with the Prussian gospel of force and violence
and the Prussian ideal of absolutism. Is inuat be smashed utterly and
completely. The looter that `,it is accomplished the better for the
for the German people and Mr all the nations. Canada joins whore-
heartedly iu that great task. Mr)leG, has been done ie knownelrr•• -alt.
What remains to be done shall bo`litnited only by the need.
It is within the bounds et. probability that the four free nations oi
the overseen dominior:s will have put into the fighting lino 250,00o met•
if this war rhoul.1 continue for another year. .That result, or even ' the
results watch have already been obtained, mast mark 'a great epoch ie
the history of iuter•iwperial relations, There are children to -day wilt
will tee the overseas dominions surpass in wealth and population sh-
British Isles; there are olti.ldren playing.in'oar streets who may see Can-
ada alone attain that eminence;

Letter From
Russia
Hawmgni, Russia, Dec. 13, 1914.
To the Editor of the "Advance,"
Wingham, Ont.
Dear Sic :—
This is Christmas Day in Canada,
in fart all over the world, except
in Russia, the only country where
the old Roman or Julian calendar is
still in use. This is twelve days behind.
tbe new style, Gregorian calendar.
Under the old style, every century
year
was fe n leap yeinar, whesirunder
the new sett
except e, only Rusone in four.' For
instance, 1890 wawa leapyear, but 1900
a. eas,
The calendar bit ittese is a great in-
dustry here, employing many men
the firm of Heritic and Snesco, of this
town, appears to do little but distri-
bute calendars, and seems to make a
good living at it. v
1 attended another meeting of our
town fathers since I last wrote you.
This is about the only amusement that
is permitted during these war times. I
had a special invitation from Scribe
9ervog, with whom I have become
quite friendly, He was a typical Rus -
man, of great size and strength, but of
a kindly, genial diepoeition, and well
road in all mattera pertaining to the
tutored ikons of his native country.
Himuck Winri occupied the chair,
and taking up tbe matter of the short-
age in the town funds, he stated that,
at the expense of a few hundred rou-
bles, it had been ascertained that the
trouble armee frons the fact, that pre-
vious Himucke had not laid the bur-
den of taxation heavily enough on the
people. He did not intend to make
the same mistake.
The Himuck mostly responsible fox'
this state of affairs were Shelmo,' Not-
itop and Enstovan, but chiefly Not -
stop ; he would not atop at anything.
flirnuck Winri, further said; that ex-
travagance should receive a check.
This brought Lomuck Lebelvad to
itis feet with the remark that toomany
people had been receiving checquee
•siready, and he saw no reason
for putting a new name on the pay roll
Lomuck Rubeillcri said he agreed
w previous speaker ; economy
the previ u ep
=oust be exercised, and ales new means
revised to increase the receipts, He
understood that a profit had been
made last year from the sale ofecem•.
etery-iota, and he believed something
' nntd he done to develop that source
of income.
Lomuck Navormann stated that a.
Ante of two -hundred and fifty roubles
;tad been obtained from a man for dar-
•ng to bring in geode and Bell them
•:heap to the people, He thought that
wire money might be raised in this
gay, and advised that a strict watch
•a kept on the merchants.
Lomuck Fordcawr, at this point, re-
,tuested that he be allowed to make a
iroposition to the members of the
<ouncil. He would make each one of
,hem a present of an automobile,
;providing they agree to buy all their
ietrol and repairs from him for a per-
iod of two years.
It was moved by Lomuck Belykin
-aid seconded by Lomuck Poterstan,
that the offer be accepted, and that
tae unemployed men in town be set to
work to remove the snow from the
main street, in order that the new
tutos could be immediately put to use.
This motion was carried, Belykin.
Poterstan, Navormann and Chimtell
voting yea, and Winil, Lebelvad
end Rubeillcri voting nay, Fordcawr
tot voting.
Lomuck Chimtell, who had recently
returned from a meeting of the Grand
tlamp of Lomucks in Petrograd, re.
;Torted that the weather was cold, and
the lake freezing over. He did not
think the cement sidewalks were wear,
ing well in that city. He had been
invited to lunch with the Czar, but
had not been able to spare the time,
The meeting then adjourned. Trust -
•ng every body is well in Wiggham. 1

Pays to Advertise..
In our last issue, an esteemed towns.
man advertised for a housekeeper with
a view to marriage. He was immsd.
lately besieged with telephone calls as
wellas personal ones, On Thursday ev-
ening, one of our youths, dressed as a
lady, made personal application, After
an interview, it was agreed that Mies
Pauline, Ailsa Craig, should return on
Friday evening and look over the
apartmente,.and learn further the dut-
ies of a housekeeper. The youth, Mies
Pauline, was so successful on Thurs-
day evening that he thought by getting
his pal, who has a knowledge of jaw•
elry, to bedeck him with jewels and ac-
company him as his sister, that the
venture might be a greater success.
The advertiser, however, was warn-
ed.of the visits of the wolves in sheeps
clothing, and carefully laid plans to
give the young adventures a cold water
bath. On their arrival the advertiser
escorted them upstairs to see the par-
lor, bed -rooms and finally the bath-
room, where the bath tub was full of
