RUMOR says Canada has millions of
bushels of potatoes held in storage and
yet the consumer is held up to top-notch
prices to fatten monopolists. The Do-
minion Government should touch up
such eases and make them limber up.
DEMOCRACY is bound to (vin. The
exhibition of it in the reoeut revolt in
Russia, is only the stquel to what will
happen to Germany ere long. Auto-
Tracy will have to eat dirt and the cons
mon people will have something to say
in the affairs of men. Big bead is a
dangerous ailment but eventually the
bluffy fellow who has it goes down.
Hurrah 1 for Freedom.
ONE way for young men to obviate
the necessity of paying the balloon prices
asked for shoe leather is to wear tan
shoes and have the government pay for
them. It is not giving away secrets to
say these eligibles will be fitted out from
the cro:vtl of thelr head to the soles of
their feet, plus an up-to-date rifle in
their hands. King George makes the
offer so it may be regarded as trust-
worthy. There's a musical selection
that accompanies the outfit entitled
"We'll never let ;he old Dag fall."

ARE the men and women of this
generation as rich in individuality as
those who have passed off the stage of
action in ;he last decade ? There was a
thoroughness, honesty of purpose, large
sympathy and trustwortbicess about the

characteristic to -day, generally speaking.
It would be time well spent by the youth
to -day to mentally, morally and physical-

sometimes pays to make haste slowly,

Tiumn are history making days. We

ing
asing their rights and enjoying them but
we hope they will not grow bumptious
and start doing things very nearly as ar-
rogant and hateful as did the feliows
whose places they are filling. "Liberty"
is a word of wide meaning but the
changingof it to "License" should be
studiously avoided. Political events of
a kaleidscopic character require a cool
head, steadiness of purpose, brevity of
speech and scout work that can be de-
peedecl ou, Vessles without ballast

Mercury concludes an item with this
pointed sentence that will stand reading
more than Duce :-"Iff the schools can
correct tate mistakes that have often
been made el home and tutu children
out with a fine set of sound, well pre-
served teeth, they will be doing a greater
service than by teaching them to lisp a
few French phrases or to tell who carved
the first hieroglyphics in Egypt."
Plum. CemmeteN, the reeently ap-
pointed Commissioner of Agriculture,
in addressing a public gathering receut-
ly hit the nail right on the bead when he
said "What is needed to -day is rural
leadership to make Agriculture attain
the new viewpoint. A wider Rad more
vital outlook and new practical ideas
must be cultivated " Yes that sounds
all right but who is to be the Provincial
Moses to lead the children of Outaiio
into the Promise Land ? To he a good
Minister of Agriculture a man should do
more than draw bis salary or lean on his
Deputy.
Are investigation is being trade by
Government authorites with the registers
of some druggists as the foundation, to
ascertain particulars of the number of
sick horses and cattle. as well as mem-
bers of the human family, who require
so numb "toning up" in dry territory.
It is to be hoped what might become an
epidemic, if not given timely quariutin-
ing, will be beaded off without endan-
gering the lives of the colts or calves.
We have heard of pet lamhs that were
"raised on the bottle" but they thrived
on lacteal field instead of ' Paddy's eye
water." Sometimes it is no easy task to
do the weaning, with both man and
beast, it seems.
"IT's an ill wiud that blaws oaebuddy
geld" contains a large modicum of vera-
city. Here's an example right to the
point: -The railways, in their wisdom,
cat out the nidal Easter rates, 000 -
sequently tbe family purse instead of
being emptied into the coffers of the C.
P. R, and G. T. R. will be turned into
the lap of tbe milliner for Ma's new bon-
net, The long -headedness of those rail-
road seers is past finding out, ouly as it
filters out to the public. Easter travel
was a big item to the railways and the
cancelling of the he reduced rates will no
doubt crease many a hundred to
fotegoo
their accustomed trip at the Eastertide.
PATRIOTISM, so called, is something
like Charity, in that it covers a multi-
tude of sins. A report from the United
States affirms that in case of Uncle Sam
getting a move on before the war ends
a regiment or two of convicts will he
organized and the prisons emptied to fill
the ranks. It is possible to "do time"
out of jail as well as in it, the suppose,
but itis to be hoped a hustle will be got
on so that "marking time" will not be
the substance of the service, The Stars
and Stripes and the Red, White and
Blue should have been entwined in the
crusade for equality and righteousness
from the commencement according to
our thinking,

TONE GREAT BIG DAY
ALL ABOUT THE FARM
'.Hoose Takes on Agricultural Look
1 Talks About Potato•ee, Chlokene,
Butter and Rage
, Oocaslonally the farmers in the
'mreglalatnre get a real field day when
;they have the Door practically to
ithemeelves and when at any rate
nothing is talked for many hours
but problems affecting the farms.
Such a debate was the very interest-
ing one on the Government's proposed
re -organization of the Department of
Agriculture. The talk encircled all
@Orta of matter's interesting to the
farming community -potatoes, hogs,
wheat, fruit, poultry, silos, horses,
butter and cream. The Legislature for
that day at any rate became a huge
Farmers' Institute,
Nelson Parliament, Liberal farpler
from Prinoe Edward County, led the
Opposition forces in the introduction
of a resolution . calling for efficient
leadership in the Department of Agri-
culture, especially owing to the con-
ditions created by the war; the ap-
pointment of a Minister of Agricul-
ture to suoceed the late kion. Mr, Duff,
who would be able to give his whole
time to the work and who by prac-
tical training would be able to give
leadership in agricultural matters, and
the appointment of a Deputy Minister
fitted by technical and practical know-
ledge of agriculture to All this most
important post.
The resolution was rejected by the
Government who persisted in their
own scheme for the re -organization of
e Department including a Minister,
a Commissioner, an Assistant Commis-
sioner and two Deputy Ministers.
Sir William, however, said that he
himself did not intend to keep the
portfolio permanently.
During the course of the debate Mr.
Rowell offered on behalf of the Oppo-
sition that if the Government would
appoint the ablest and most outstand-
ing man available as Minister of Agri-
culture and with him an equally suit-
able man for Deputy Minister, they
would not oppose such a Minister in
d bye -election, but would allow him
to take his seat without a contest,
The Prime Minister in his reply made
no reference to this offer.
George S. Henry, Conservative.
member for East York, slated as a
possible Minister of Agriculture, saw
no particular reason why Sir William
Hearst should not be
head of the
Department of Agriculture, because
"be had been raised on the farm and
had been a student of farming all his
life."
0. A. Gillespie, Liberal meneber for
West Peterboro, the well known dairy-
man, called the Government's plan a
"ogare,time" arrangement
DEAR FRIENDS, -This is the first
day of Febtuary. How the time flies
past even if I am thousands of miles
across land and sea from my dear
homeland in Canada, Many days
have passed by and I have not bad
even a scratch of a pen. Well it was
Icy own fault as I was moving around
so much that my lettere could not
find ice. However at last I have got
settled in a land called "Somewhere
in France" where a lot of our Cana-
dian boys may never return from
again. We are putting our trust tri
God as no one else can do for us such
wonderful things and if we are in
danger Ilecanhelp p te
1 i when no other .
e
one can. This last week I have been •
lucky as I have been showered with
letters and parcels hone
my good
Mends in Huron Co,I have had 0
choice parcels with Christmas cake
and sweets, Even if far from you this
year I have had more than if I were
at home. The other day while I was
to my dug out I received a dandy
parcel from you. It was in fine shape
and I certainly did enjoy it. A letter
from Canada seems a treat and I am
sure a parcel makes us all feel that
we have some one who will not forget
us even if we are far away. Yester-
day I got a bundle of mail in which
were 81 letters, Before then had only
received about 6 from the 28th of
October, 1916. So you see I will have
Rome writing to do now to catch up.
I am Lhe boy who can do it, as I am
fond of writing and anyone who
writes to me will certainly get a reply
when 1 have time to send one. You
know we are nearly always busy so I
do my writing at night when things
are quiet. I am well and in the very
best of stealth. Every day I am get-
ting
etting fatter. When I got to France, I
weighed 100 pounds, however, I have
gained 10 pounds since, so you can
imagine I am in good health. I hope
these few knee find you all well and in
good spirits,
Well, as my letter is getting long
thiatirne, I will draw it to a (lose,
thatlking you all very kindly for your
Christmas box. I will remember
those who wee e hind to me while I
am far away fighting for Peace and
Freedom. I shall close with remem-
brance to all. I remain,

NURSES TO GET VOTE
Mr. Rowed Urges Their Claims For
Equal Treatment
Thanks to the twice -repeated sug-
gestion of Mr, Rowell, Ontario nurses
sensing overseas will be put on the
voters' lists here and thus be entitled
to vote at the next general election
as well as the soldiers.
The Government bill from the be-
ginning had the provision regarding
the soldiers, and, later, Indians were
added. These were admirable ar-
rangements but Mr. Rowell claimed
that surely the Ontario nurses in
Great Britain, France, Saloniki and
other (entree of the war, should have
the same privileges and rights as the
soldiers for whom they were caring.
The Provinoiel Treasurer promised
that Mr. Rowell's suggestion would
be adopted.
MORE TALK ABOUT GRAFT
Z. Mageau, member for Sturgeon
]t has returned to his charges of
P',0. g
misappropriation of public money by
the Government. In a speech filled
with definite examples and cases, he
gave instances of where waste of pub-
lic) money had occurred in Northern
Ontario in the purchase of wire,
tools
and various road -making aPplnaces.
He also gave examples of where three
or four overseers were engaged and
paid to superintend the expenditure of
buck small sums are 160 or $200.
Ron. Finlay Macdiarmid defended the
Department.
The most exciting incident in con-
nection with Mr. Mageau's charges
was the comment upon them by Wil-
liam McDonald, member for North
Serum While Mageau had been talk -
Fg, the Government members had Fughed and taken it rather as a
e Mr, McDonald suddenly said,
When you go before the great jury
and the final tribunal of the people
at the next election, you will find that
they are not laughing at graft chargee,
{tor will they overlook them as per-
haps they have had a tendency to do
before the war. Your' Mr. Hanna
Weld take $600 front a Government
contractor for Conservative cam-
.paign funds, but that sort of thing

particular salient has to be done at
night, as Fritz is on three sides.
Well, Bob arrived at his destination

everything in readiness for getting
out, and tolclBob, "There are so many
boxes of ammunition, so many dug
outs, so many bombs, so many trench
mortars, machine guns, etc. "Sign
here, please," sftid Bob signed, and the
Pats were on their way bark to billets
as quick as they could hike,
Well, the time came for Bob. and
Lhe Nth to be relieved, Capt. Pear-
son had also got everything ready to
gee out as quickly as possible.
"The Somerset Imperials" were to
relieve him. They name with a young
English officer in command, Bob
starts( and told him ; there are so
many boxes of atmnusiti•m, bombs,
dugouts, etc. Sign here, please.
Nothing doing 1 Capt. Pearson had
to take Niru `wound and show him
every box and bomb, while the Somer-
set offices chaeked them all sip, and
it took about three houre before the
49th was relieved.
Juet at the last moment the English
officer asked Capt. Bob whete his
front wire. Fritz at the bine was
sending tip all kiodv of flares on the
three sidre of the salient, Sweeping
his hands around the three sides,
Capt. Pearson said ; "There it is" to
which the Somerset officer replied,
",My God, roan, we'll all be captured."
To lLpprecitete the point you need to
remember the Canadians have held
this particular• place for over 12
months.
He also told about the charge of
the Prussian Guard, the pride of
