Who do you think will rete re 'he plum ? A rr,awry Pence among the warring Nitions might be very ill advised unless the promoters, who have been whetting t'•eir swo"ds for the past 25 years, are ready to get down on their knees. The hest way so deal with a bully is to thrash hero until be knows be is whipped and is willing to cry "Enough." If perman- ent Peace is to be obtained somebody has to attend to the disarmament of the militarists, other vise a Nation might change their mind the next day and the wbole mad program have to be gone over. CHEISTMAs 1915 is urged as an oppor- tune time to remember the soldier boys at the battlefront and in the hosp'tals Sometimes much of the money spent in gift making is almost thrown away in a seise, as the recipient may not be in need of what is presented nor may they be in a mood to return the present, ex- cept for the sake of good fellowship to the one who has led off. Training the children at the glad season of the year into the blessedness of giving rather than receiving is work that sbould bear good resalts in the years to come. t npoING by statistics the motor car is here to stay. In 1915 over 41,500 licenses were issued in this Province as compared with 32,000 the year previous. $334,759 was the tidy revenue received by the Provincial Treasurer for the per- mits this year, an increase ot nearly $200,000 over 1914. For a war year wbeu money was supposed to be tied up the increase is the automobile purchas- ing is rather surprising. Possibly 1916 will out -do its predecessor, at least a great hustle is being got on by the manufacturers of the speed -wagons. ONCE more the ranks of the historic old Senate have bad a quartette added to its number leaving an octette of va- cancies still existing, Not because there is not an ample supply of office seekers but probably trying to fill the places with the fewest possible party scraps. The new Senators are Hon, Dr, Sproule, late Speaker of the Commons ; lno. Milne, Hamilton ; C. P. Beaubien, Montreal ; and Hon, Jno. McLean, Prince Edward Island. There is still a Liberal majority in the Senate. It is about as useless a part of our Govern - meat as could overn•meatascould be found. But nobody appears to remedy it when they are in power. The Opposition have great plans but fail to execute them wbeu they hold the reins GUELPH Mercury calling attention to the progress of to -day cites as an illustra- tion the fact that 23 years ago at the Plowing Match on the Ontario Agricul. tural Farm several yoke of oxen plodded patiently up and down the furrows, while in 1915 tractors, plowing 10 fur- rows at a time, were at work and many of the spectators came to witness the event in automobiles, Onrgrandfathers would be greatly surprised at the marvel- lous strides on the program. Without being pessatnistic it is a good thing sometimes to make haste slowly. There is a happy medium which is often the safe road. We don't mean that we should stick to the oxen but tbataioog with rush of the loth century should be still the practice of industry and econ- omy. Some people are poor today be- cause they are disposed to delegate the large share of their work to somebody else.

THERE is a vert noticeable waking up among the laity of the churches iu the sphere of Social Service work In this one of the chief planks is a high standard of morals ib the way of taking up ad• vanced ground on the Temperance ques- tion, stricter observance ot the Sabbath, broader interest in Missions. and s new role along evangelistic lines in R "Win One" sffoi t.

W bat department of Christian service are you employing and improving your talent ? Does The Hog Motor Save feed? Wm. Smith, of Trowbridge, who is the owner of a Hog Motor, has the past few weeks been conducting ex- peeiulents with a view to discovering the value of the Hog Motor in feeding pigs. After becoming acquainted with the machine and to the best means of handling it, two lots of hugs were put ou lest, hogs of similar quality being used and weighing being duce about 2 p. w. each week, November 1711i the two lots of seven bogs each were weighed, then November 24th again put on the scales. It was found that the seven !`rotor -fed hogs bad con- sumed 286 lbs, of barley and wheat, a few oats being in the mixture, and the seven trough fed hogs had consumed 425 lbs. of ground grain of the name mixture, this being 100 lbs. more than the Motor -fed hogs had consumed, As to gain in weight the grain proved to be exactly the same, almost 2lbs. per pig per day. Thus it will be seen that the Motor - fed bogs saved bar. Snaith almost 82 in one week over trough feeding methods saying nothing of time lost taking grain to the chopper and 6c. per bund- led for grinding. FROM THE FRONT. DEAR MR. KERB• -Just a line to in- form you and other friends of mine in Brussels, that I am still living. I have been laid up in an old monastery which has been turned over to the British for a hospital. There is one part of it still being used by the monks. They are 1101 like our home priests as they are all dressed in brown and have no hats. They wear very low heeled buckled shoes and an ex- ceedingly long brown overcoat which is tied with a tassel -rope around the waist, similar to a dressing gown, drag their feet slightly and are very slow in movement. One old gentle- man seems to be quite happy anyway as he always has a smile for us when coming. Of course we can hardly un- deratand everything in French and Belgian, but we get along fairly well. \Ve are among the French, English, Belgian and other country fellow soldiers, whom the Canadians find among them some very interesting storytellers as we are sitting around a little fire trying to dry ourselves and get a warming. I forgot of in heading my letter to refer to the weather. Life at Boase usually greet us with ome chosen remark about the weath- er so I will prove no exception to the ase. I too, will offer a brief comment n the hardships of the trenches with he bad weather. This does not 1e- nire very much describing one word will be sufficient "rotten." In places n the trenches and even on level land t is knee deep with water and mud, be boys suffer terribly. Rain is their !lief Winter here, along with sleet which is also very cold. The Germans are crack shots, at east some of them are, because to rove it I have put up on the end of a tick, a potato and in no time 6 shots mild pierce it, Many of our corn- ades are killed through German nipers, who get in trees or any con- ealed places that they may fire upon s. Their attillery is busy at times tying to down Its with poison sheep - el, whisbangs and Jack -Johnson's, leo coal -boxes as we call them, They eetainly leave au impression behind hem when fired. Never did I realize, when going to hoot as a lad, reading books of great ars, of the hardships and exposure nd the smell of gunpowder filling out nostrils with this beautiful per - nue night and day, that I would ave the same experience, When I came out of the trenches to e taken to the hospital, I had been in e trenches for 7 weeks, without ange of clothes or washing, on ac - tint of shortage of machine guns, some of the boys would be so kind to enlist and get to the front, we ho are aching to get out often for a stcouldget it, Our meals consist of hard biscuits d jam and at odd times a piece of rV bread but we have 110 kick we are ily too glad to get that, s c 0 t q a p s w r s c u a c SC w a f 11 b tit ch co If AS w re an d of • Am "Granny"Chamberlain- "Cranny" Chamberlain Everybody's friend when they have coughs and colds and their children have croup and whooping cough.

MCKrtneON, DEAR MOTHER & FAMILY. -Receiv- ed your letter of Oct, 17th, yesterday and thought I would answer right off, also received one from you doted June 8th, it had been lost at Shorn - We are having very wet weather lately. There is sure plenty of mud around the trenches these days. In some places you are up to the boot tops in water but that's what we may expect this time of year. One thing about it the Germane are not any better off.
