"TIMER cheers for the Red, White -- and Blue," MANv a year will elapse before the losses entailed by the great war will be "Gots save our King and heaven bless cleared up. General Sherman was un - the Maple Leaf forever," questionably right when he denominated "War as hell." Miiliensof lives already CHErtsx market is among the agrioul- have been sacrificedand amend isnot yet. lural products hitting the high spots What a happy condition would exist if just now, reaching as high as 24 cents the whole world preached and practiced on some Boards. '`Peace on earth, Good will toward men,". Goon for the red men. 65 robust Walpole Island Indians joined the Lambton Battalion to aid King George's men. It is a good sign of their loyalty and a worthy example to the white men who require so much urging. ToRON1'o professional Base Ball team has won 2 games and lost 11 at the time this note is penned and is the tail ender in the lis of 8 teams in the Internatiou- al League. If they "cut out" the Sur - day games they might be better able to reach the top. Montreal and Toronto teams are the only Canadian nines in the series. IT looks as if those pool•-poohed Kyte charges, relative to munitions, were much more real then was suspected, even if the scope of investigation is nar- row. The well greased hand is evident- ly still on the program. Why some fel lows should bave their pockets lined with millions while special pleadings are made for generous contributions to the aid of the Empire is past comprehension. Nearly 824,o0o was a tidy sum to dtvoy up among 3 or q individuals over a fuse Contract, Br the time the C. N. R and the Grand Trunk Pacific railways get through coaxing new grants from the Dominion Government probably a good majority will be of the opinion it would have been better to have owned the whole lock, stock and barrel. Govern- mInt ownership has its weak points but if properly managed utilities of general service to the public might be taken bold of with good results. Present out- look is that these roads have a big con. tract to make their roadways pay their way. A GREAT kick is put ep by sone homes if one son out of, perchance, a large family is asked to enlist. In Stratford a mac named David Polley has 6 sons in the service and is working in a munition factory himself. If those boys go through the conflict they should be well looked after for the balance of their natural life, it they prove worthy citi- zens. The Polley's evidently have the right stoff in them. Guess there was no such word as "slacker" in their diction- ary. PREMrER ASKWITH bas gone to Ire- land to enquire into the recent rachet that was kicked up over there. Casuali- ties are seta to be Soo killed and 2500 wounded. A firm hot kindly hand can do much to straighten out the tangle. Messrs. Redmond and Carson were very free in the House of Parliament in ex- pressing themselves as to the folly ot Irish people playing the traitor's part. The Premier is wise in getting his in- formation first hand as it often makes a great difference as to who tells the story. ON May Day Dr. Liebknuht, a promi- nent member of the German Parliament, was arrested because he expressed an opinion regarding the calling off of the n i Hun warfare. No ma s Permitted in that land to voice sentiments unfavor- able to the Kaiser's program, In some other countries we know some folk ap- pear to think they have license to say what they please of their -King and country. If a kink were put iu their de- famatory utterances they would be only receiving their due and be taught the useful lesson that sometimes a shut mouth shows a wise bead, It ill be- comes any residents of Canada to speak disparagingly of the British Empire tinder whose benign sway they enjoy so many blessings and liberties, Shame on the defamers. SuraosxNo the Huns win and the Do- minion of Canada comes under the sway of militarism what about our boasted freedom 1 What about our taros and our business concerns? Now is the time to see to it that such a eetastrophe is averted by a hearty rallying of Cana- dianforces to the help of the Empire that the conflict now waging will be settled overseas. This Dominion should have a bigger share in the war than many think if for no other reason than the selfish one ot self preservation. The time sae gone past for special pleading for recruits and if the same hesitancy to enlist continues there is nothing surer than eonscrfptioh will soon secure the necessary quota, Our battles have been fought bravely and well but many of the heroes who have done their best have made the supreme sacrifice and it is surely rip to the eligiblee to don the King's uniform and prove their patriot - BOARDS Of AGRICULTURE The farmers, Institutes to be Merged into More Comprehensive Organ- ization, after 30 Years of ryerpful Service The Farmers Instil ntes of On tat ir, one of the oldest agricultural nrgat.- leaking of the Province, was establish- ed in 1881 by Dr. James Mill, ex -Presi- dent of the Ontario Agricultural Col- lege, Guelph. The Institute has beim et medium through ahieh meat com- mendable work has been clone in bringing to the raviners of the Pro- vince up-to-date agricultural informa- tion. Phis organization has been most liberally supported by the De- partment of Agriculture and much appreciated by it large percentage of the farmers of the Province. Those who ate closely aesrciated. with Lite Institution and othet eglkith ural as- sociations and efforts have decided after careful enquiry and consideration that if the Institute is to maintain its high standing as an educative, agri- cultural institution, it must, be le - organized. The new organization is to be known as a "Board of Agriculture," each Boat covering the same territory cls. the old Institute in all sections South and Eitst of Muskoka. Any person interested in agriculture, on the pay- ment of the annual fee of 25c., may become a member of this Boatel, whose Directors shall consist of (a) Two representatives from each Partners' Club or Juuiol' Farmers' As- sociation. (b) One representative from each Agricultural Society. (r) One representative from each township, unless there are none of the above named organizations in the township, when two members may he appointed. (d) Ilisliiel Representative. Le) Three Rtpresen tat i ves from the District Women's Instilute, one being the District. Secretary, (f) The President. Vice -President and Secretary of the Farmers' In- stitute for the previous year. (g) The Boald will have power to add to its numbers by including re- presentatives From any -other agri- cultural organization in the riding or from a Board of Trade or Publicity Assnciation, The Board shall also elect a repre- sentative executive committee whose duty it shall be to supervise all the work undertaken by the Board of Agricul tut e. The aim of the Boards of Agricul- ture shall be to improve the nature of the public meetings held in each dis- trict controlled by a Board. Fewer meetings than formerly, will be held. but energetic efforts will be made to make each one of a highly beneficial nature. Only the most competent speakers will be employed and each Evill be, so far as such can be secured, a specialist in the particular line of agriculture prevailing in the district where he is sent to speak. Travelling Under Difficulties Following letter was written to her mother, by Mrs. Ray McNaught, who recently went \Vest and had unusual experiences on the journey DEAR MOTHER—Leaving Toronto 6.80 p. tn. March 24th, we did not get much sleep that night. Had a big time about 4 o'clock in the morning, when a bunch of Italiana came in and played a banjo and sang songs, It was comical to listen to them. After we got our breakfast I knit all day and it was a lonely ride, nothing but big rocks spruce ruce trees and white poplars, Stopped them or four times in the day fur fresh air and could get lunch if you wanted it. Saturday evening we went amend Lake Snpet'i or, just a road around the edge of the lake built in the rock, only room for the track. If train went oft: we would go right into the lake, We went for miles like this with great rocks away above the track, it was nothing but lakes and rocks. It was lilts this ae long as we cnultl see with ever so many tunnels. Rested very good that night and got up at 5 o'clock Sunday morn- ing. Got into Winnipeg at 11 o'clock, felt pretty sink but we got a hot din- ner and left at 8 p. m. got into arrived at Meit'ifleld at 6 in the morning. There was snow up to the windows add it was fearfully cold. Got off to change for Radville and they told us the trains were all blocked with a terrible snow storm so Lhe Conductor advised us to get en and go to Regina. and amiss to Moosejaw. Of course this was away out, of our road but we got to Regina at 11 o'clock and stayed till 7.80 in Lhe evening and went to Monsejaw, arriving at 980 o'clock. Left on the 0 train and got to Brier- Brest, went tint quite a few miles but found the track was flooded with water and two of three ties gone, so we backed up again to Btierceest and here the are, am nut of "grub" but ' went to the store and got some bread ' and cakes, so we aint starving, If we I had gone on we would have been in a wreck. This is a beautiful day and the water is running everywhere. It is certainly some trip, Got supper, bed and breakfast at the expense of the O. N. R, (We slept four 3n a sed and Jimmie on the floor, it coat $13 65 an fare) It is after 5 o'clock in the evening and we don't know what they are going to do with ne, unless they switch tis off on the siding and leave Us here. It will cost us $86.00 a day Ytealth for $iek Wcmen For Forty Years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Has Been Woman's Most Reliable Medicine —Here is More Proof. To women who are suffering from some form of woman's special ills, and have a constant fear of breaking down, the three following letters ought to bring hope:— North Crandon, Wis. — "When I was 16 years old I got married and at 18 years I gave birth to twins and it left me with very poor health. I could not walk across the floor without having to sit down to rest and it was hard for me to keep about and do my work. I went to a doctor and, he told me I had a displacement and ulcers, and would have to have an operation. This frightened me so much that I did not know what to do. Having heard of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I thought I would give it a trial and it made me as well as ever. I cannot say enough in favor of the Pinkham remedies."—Mrs. MAY1115 ASBAOI11,North Crandon, Wis. Testimony from Oklahoma. Lawton, Okla.—"When I began to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I seemed to be good for nothing. I tired easily and had headaches much of the time and was irregular. I took it again before my little child was born and it did me a wonderful amount of good at that time. I never fail to recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to ailing women because it has done so much for me."—Mrs. A. L. MOCASLAND, 609 Have St., Lawton, Okla. From a Grateful Massachusetts Woman. Roxbury, Mass.—" I was suffering from inflam- mation and was examined by a physician who found that my trouble was caused by a displacement. My symptoms were bearing clown pains, backache, and sluggish liver. I tried several kinds of medi- cine; then I was asked to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It has cured me and I am pleased to be in my usual good health by using it and highly recommend it"—Mrs. B. M. OsaooD, 1 Baynes Park, Roxbury, Mass. If you want special advice write to Lydia E.

There are about 40 pas- sengete on the train. Water is run- ning over the track ahead and behind us and itis certainly dreadful. I do not know what we will do, Just ar- rived acuhss the washout, came 4 miles in the trolley car, two together. It was eetctiilly dangerous, ever so many ties washed out. Here we are still at Avonlea. Went down to get some food and stopped at a Chink's for out' breakfast. It was sure some place, There were Scurfy China- men, it made me feel sick but 1 got it down. We bought enough to do to- day as we don't know what we will meet, but got to keep up anti look at the bright side of it. Turned out the seats and slept all night. The firemen kept on a fire and we were warm. The children are tired but are doing pretty good. It is a beautiful day, warm and the snow is going fast. Started out for Radville about 2.80 p. m. and had our dinner but I am awful tired of this trip, Edith put a large pearl bead up iter nose and we did not know what to do. They all gathered around and one young man said to take a hair pin and make a hook on it and pull it. out so he got it ready and hooked it in the hole and pulled it nut Would have had to take her to the doctor if 11 were not for hint and I don't know how much it would cost. We are going very slow as the track is not good, but slow and sure will bring us there. Phis Thut sdn l morning, feeling pretty good but still in the train. Had no breakfast and stayed over night in the car at Truax, Going hack tn Avonlea as can't get any Airline. ahead. They sent us all to a boarding house for supper don't know whether they will give us our breakfast or not but are keeping up as good as can be. expected, I tell you this is some trip. • I am Bending this to you to let you knnte where we ace, thought I would not finish Lill I land- ed but don't lcnow when that will be, Good-bye, hope you are all well, will write again, hut write to me and address to ltadvflle, Sask.

Well to continue, we just got nor last patient in (we had 27 ambulances) and we're moving out when a shell carne in with a erreant. It was my first experience and, take it from line, I crunched in my seat, then it sounded like 20 ton of brick falling about 500 feet, such cats the noise of the shell when itbur•st800 yards from us. Two more came over after that but we were soon on the road and compara- tively safe as they only had the range of the town. The shelling of aero- planes, by outs as well as our enemy's guns, takes place regularly every clear day, If a German plane does escape our anti-altcaft grins and gets over our lines it is met by allied planes and either retreats or gives battle which cleans death to some brave fellow and Lhe sante happens when our _planes cross the enemy's lines hnt how they get through the shrapnel fire is a mar- vel to me.

Those of us who didn't value civilian and home life will after we get out of this, if we ever do, The Germans are not all we fight as ver- min is one ; short retinue is another and dozens of things. We cannot always get our food and have to go hungry at times. Our water means disease to the man who drinks it. We have water brought for miles.
