morning when THF boy or THE girl first trudg-

are rapid. Every year you note them. And,
almost before you realize it, there comes the
severer sundering of those ties, when John or
Mary with a cheery 'Will be home for Christ-

Both of you are choking back sentiment. And

FROM THE TRENCHES •
TO THE SHIRKER
The following verse was written by
Sergt. Grindley, of the first Canadian
Overseas Contingent, now in the
trenches. Grindlay is well known in
Western Ontario, being an entertainer
of no mean ability. He was originally
of the 34th. Battalion, but was sent as
reinforcements to the first division.
The poetry was contained in a letter
received by Mr, C. R. Copeland, Wing -
ham, from hie brother. Sergt. Cope-
land.
Hark how the bugle is calling
To the shirker who still does delay;
Your country needs your assistance,
So come do your bit in the fray.
Why do hapg round the corners,
While -others are fighting for you?
Wby stand idle and contented
When there's work out here to do.
APPEAL TO LICENSE BOARD
Rev. E. G, Powell and Mr, A, T.
Cooper met the Provincial License
Board in. Stratford last week, Mr,
Powell, the field secretary of the
Huron -county tempecaloe forces stat.
ed thai.liq'ne dialers in other coun-
ties were illegally shipping liquor into
"dry Huron, to which Chairman
Flavelle replied, "If you can establish
that charge, licensees will not have
licenses very long."
Mr. Powell alleged, a9 an example,
that the Kuntz agency in Stratford
had shipped into Huron six cases of
liquor labelled local option beer, and
had pleaded 'guilty before even an
analysis of the seized goods had been
made. The speaker also alleged that
the Huether Brewery, Berlin, shipped
six huedred caeee of liquor into one
village, addreesed to fictitious preens,
but ordered by one man, and a charge
was laid againet . a Stratford shop-
keeper for alleged infringement of the
act.
Mr. A. T. Cooper, Clinton, declared
the Canada temperance act had been
submitted only because Provincial
Secretary Hanna had given definite
assurance that the act, though a Do-
minion measure, would be strictly en-
forced. Mr. Cooper asked the Com-
mission to have the act amended so as
to give counties carrying it practically
total prohibition.
Chairman Flavelle, in reply, stated
that the Commission will be right be-
hind the inspectors in enforcing the
act, and that if the desired amend-
ment can be made the beard will do
its utmost to bring it about.
To Revive 0. W. S. Ry.
A conference of representatives of
the municipalities interested in the
Ontario West Shore Railway was held
at Kintail on Friday last. Mayor Reid
and Mr. H. E. Hodgens attended from
Goderich. It was decided to proceed
with the action at law against the
Toronto General Tracts Corporation
for moneys claimed by the municipal-
ities to have been illegally paid out of
the trust fund raised by the sale of
the bonds guaranteed by the munici-
palities. A large sum of money is in-
volved and it is considered the munici-
palities have a strong case to present.
It was decided also to make further"
efforts to get the road in operation,
and to this end Hon. Adam Beck will
be again approached and requested to
make the road a part of the Hydro
radial system and have it completed
to Kincardine at the earliest possible
date and operated between Goderich
and Kincardine.
Think of gallantdown-troddenBelgium
With her cities and towns ail in ruin,
She suffered to help us, you know it,
Then what for her are you doing.
Think of her women and children,
What they suffered for you and me.
Wby not help to crush the enemy
Who slaughtered with such savage
glee?
So lis`rto the bugle thate calling,
Calling you to the fight. •
Come, join and don't be a slacker,
But fight for the cause and the right.
Was ever a Canadian a coward?
Just look at their deeds in the past,
When Brock with a handful of heroes
Fought and won a:great fight at last.
And the heroes who fought in South
Africa, •
' Their names, they never will die.;
And in France6Canadians have made
history,
For linen such as these we now c -y.
And then when the struggle is over
And the heroes are all welcomed
home,
What wilt you say when you're 'shun,•
ned
When in the cold you are left alone?
You'll wish you bird shouldered a rifle
And played the part of a man;
You could say, you had done your
duty,
But as a shirker you never can.
So now shoulder the eword,of freedom,
For ite freedom we fight for to -day;
Be a man and don't be a Blacker,
Come, and do your bit in the fray.

Beware 01 Rumora
Canadians should remember that
there are enemies in our midst and
that all sorts of rumors are started in
the hope of slowing up Canada's ef-
forts and lessening Canada's ambition.
These pessimistic tales should neither
be repeated or believed. For example,
a curious rumor spread in Toronto
thatiRed Cross comforts were being
sold to the soldiers and that money
was being demanded in France for
tobacco and socks donated by Can-
adian women. This is absolutely false,
so absolutely opposed to the fifty
yearst record of the Red Cross that it
night be thought no one would be
deceived. And yet marry woven be-
lieved it and declared they would do
no more voluntary work. Intelligent
citizens, everyone, should be on the
alert for these stories. They would
find usually that they et$anate from
a pro -German source, This should be
reported to the authorities so that
nothing of the kind will occur again.

"THE KAISER'S DREAM,"
The New "Paradise Lost,"
The following entertaining poem
las been sent us by Wm. McLachlan,
who is serving with the 10th Argyil
and .Sutherland Highlanders at the
front:
There's a story now current, tho
strange it may seem,
Of the great Kaiser Bill and his won-
derful dream.
Being tired of the allies, he lay down
in bed,
And amongst other things he dreamt
he was dead,
And in a fine coffin was lying in state,
With a guard of brave Belgians, who
mourned his fate,
He wasn't long dead till he found to
hie cost
That his soul, like his soldiers, had
gone to be lost.
On leaving the earth to heaven he
went straight,
And arriving up there gave a knock
at the gate,
Bet St. Peter looked out, and in a
voice loud and clear,
Said "Begone, Kaiser Bill, we don't
want you here."
"Well," said the Kaiser, "that's very
uncivil,
I suppose after that 1 must go to the
devil;"
So he turned nu his heel and off he
did go
At the top of his speed to the regions
below.
And when he got there he was filled
with dismay.
When waiting outside he heard Old
Nick say
To his imps—"Now look here, boys, I
give you a'warning,
I'm expecting the Kaiser down here
io the morning,
But don't let him in, for to me it's
quite clear,
He's a very bad man, and we don't
want him here,
If once he gets in there'll be no end of
quarrels,
In fact, I'm afraid he'll corrupt our
good morals.
"01 Satan, my dear friend,"the Kaiser
then cried,
"Excuse me for listening while wait-
ing outside,
If you don't admit me, where can I
go?"
"Indeed," said the devil, "I really
don't know."
"Oh, do let me in, I'm feeling quite
cold,"
Said the Kaiser,quito anxious to enter
Nick's fold,
"Let me sit in a corner, no matter
how hot,"
"Nol" said the devil, "most certainly

"We don't admit people for riches or

Then he kicked Wilhelm out and van-

And just at that moment the Kaiser
awoke,

Since the present Government
took office the development of govern-
ment-owned and 'operated grain stor-
age facilities has been little short of
marvellous. In 1911 there was not a
government-owned terminal or inter-
ior storage elevator in Western Can-
ada and only a very small capacity
provided in the east. In Eastern Can-
ada in 1911 the Government elevators
were:
Port Colborne...1,000,000
St. John 500,000
Halifax 500,000
Montreal 1,000,000
Tliis made provision for storage
for the western crop by the Federal
Government of only 3,000,000 bushels.
Now there •is a storage capacity of
22,500,000 distributed as follows:
Port Arthur. ,3,250,000 bushels

Cour years from 3,000,000 to 22,500,000,
In addition to these provided'arrange-
ments have been made to erect a
Government elevator at Port Nelson
as soon as the Hudson's Bay Railway

More German Lies
The Fatherland, published- in New
York, a pro -German paper, gives the
following item : "In all Canadian towns
and countryside from British Colum-
bia to Quebec the Canuck ran riot and,
typified himself with brutal Cossack
deeds. He burned houses, plundered
shops and stoned unoffending men
women and children in city streets
and country sides. No one deterred
him. German, Austrian and Hungar-
ian men and women were dragged
from their homes and slaughtered in
the open. Native born sons who de-
fended foreign'born parents were
slain, the slaughters were brutalized
by the mob," We wonder if our Ger•
man citizens do- not feel ashamed of
such lying untruths. Some of them
should enter a protest with The
Fatherland.
