of them is the boom being given to
Agriculture. England is purchasing

work night as weld as day and in this
way hopes 'to Overcome the shortage of

Canada sh.'a'd also take the hint and in-
stead of nr.:: multiplying acres and leav-
ing many rel them unfilled would be to
divide up the holdings so that not only
the census would stow improvement
but the quantity and quality of products

"11 is with groat pleasure thatl write
to tell you of the wonderful benefits 1
have received from taking "Fruit-a-
tives". For years, I was a dreadful
Sufferer from Constipation and Head-
aches, and 1 was miserable in every way.
Nothing in the way of medicines seemed
to help me. Then I finally tried

For the cat tage of ashes from
Government House the government
paid $170.00. Th)e amount evidently
arose from the fact that Government
Hoose was built so low that special
charges had to be made for hauling
the ashes up to the level of the street.
Another cartage item was $848 00.
AGRIOULTQRAL PLANS
What at first was thought to be
merely a temporary arrangement in
the Department of Agriculture, fol-
lowing the death of the Hon, Jae.
Duff, is now going to remain perma-
nent if the government follows its
own bill now before the legislature
and does not listen to the objections
of the Opposition.
The permanent re -organization pro-
vides for a Minister of Agriculture
with the Prime Minister, Sir Williatn
Hearst, as Minister; two -deputy
ministers instead of the one at
re en ; a Oor 1)d sinner of Agri-
culture,
ri-
m tn s
Pg
culture Dr. Oreehuan Principal of
p
the 0. A. 0„ Guelph, and an assistant
to the Commissioner.
The Opposition claim that this is a
moat complicated and inefficient
system. They say that there should
be simply a Minister of Agriculture,
not, thePtime Minister, already over-
burdened with duties ; not a lawyer,
as he is but the most outstanding
agriculturist who could be secured,
and with Mtn a deputy minister also
of outstanding rank such as the late
Dr, 0. 0. James, for example.
The Opposition say that the pro-
posed arrangement amounts simply
to this, that the Prime Minister in his
spare lnoment8 will give some atten-
tion to the Department; that Dr.
Creelman, who remains in Guelph as
Principal of the school, will give his
spare time to the Department of
Agriculture and that this part time
arrangement is utterly inadequate.
As for the two deputy ministers, the
Opposition says that the trouble lies
in the fact that the present deputy
minister is not a farmer at all nor has
he any first hand knowledge of farm-
ing.
This whole question of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture promises to be an
important factor of the session.
Huron County Children's Aid
Society
The regular monthly meeting of the
Children's Aid and Humane Society
was held in the Court House, Gode-
rich. There was a fair attendance.
County Secretary gave an interesting
report of work for the month and
read some letters from wards of the
Society who are overseas, Some
ladies representing the W. C. T. U.
were present at the meeting and re-
ported that at their meeting they had
discussed the benefits of a Juvenile
Court and the necessity for a
Ohildren'e Shelter in Huron County
and had come to the conclusion that
the time had come when the Children's
Aid Society should take steps to this
end, and that they had passed 5 reso-
lution to alis effect and were prepared'
to stand r,1th the Obildren's Aid
Society in whatever steps were neces-
sary
in order to have the Juvenile
Court Act proclaimed in Huron
County and a Shelter secured. A
committee was appointed, consisting
of the President of the Society, Jas.
Mitchell, G. M. Elliott, the County -
Secretary, Rev. J. E. Ford, Abner
Omens, President of Winghambranch
and John Beattie, from Seaforth
branch to meet and go into the whole
question and being 10 a report at the
next meeting of the Children'e Aid
Society, to be held March 18th. So-
ciety has 5little girl of 8 years for

first place hope you and your parents
are enjoying the beet of health. As
regards myself I must say that I am

not writing you folks sooner but under
the circumstances it was impossible
but the old Baying is "Better late than
never" hence these few scattered notes
which may interest you.
Well, Gordon, well do I remember
the good times at your place, also in
the Leadbury vicinity. I can picture
you yet sitting in your seat at school
and asking the variuus questions re-
garding the war and the interesting
discussions, therefore 1 hope these few
lines will help you gain some new
ideas. In the Oran place I have been
in Franca Since Dec. lot and have seen
some wonderful sights. The trip

Recruits ai# me
for Prouctiin
Just as surely as lack of food is strangling Germany
day by day, so plenty of food is winning the victory
for the allies. The French armies, for instance, were
never better fed than now, for France cannot forget
the awful lesson of 1870—the failure of her food
supply. To this she attributed the loss of that war.
To feed the French soldiers around Verdun, more than 25,-
500,000 pounds of food a week were required. Tliis gives a
faint idea of thcolossal c asset task of feedingi
n an army. Canada and
Britain havea huge army of fighting heroes on the line ; every
man MUST have plenty of food, in spite of a world shortage.
