AN ARMY EVERY CANADIAN
MAY WELL BE PROUD OF
♦Crouched and poised, with disciplined impatience, waiting to pounce
at the enemy, is Canada's great army which will form the spearhead of
that decisive offensive just about to be—"a dagger pointed at the heart
of Hitler."
That something, that the vastness and ruggedness of this, great country'
imparts to men who have still a strong strain of pioneer blood in their
veins, has made possible the mustering of an army unsurpassed for physical
fitness, and which in mental mould and moral might is the most magnificent
that has ever set forth to defend the freedoms and uphold the honor of
this young and virile nation of ours:
We, of Massey -Harris, are naturally proud that many from the various
divisions and branches of our far -Rung organization are serving in the
ranks of this great army. 1t is gratifying, also, that the thousands in our
several plants are permitted to play an important part in providing
the machines and munitions so essential to the success of that army in
modern mechanized warfare.
And the great Canadian Army which hos, as our Minister of National
Defence says, "a Larger proportion of armored troops than any army
in the world," will be a decisive factor in hastening the day of victory.

On War footing
Plants Work et Capacity
Producing Armaments
And Fara. Equipment
Remarkable evidence of the ex-
tent to which a large Canadian in-
dustry can swing into line and be an
important factor in producing muni-
tions for the war effort may be
gathered from an illustrated booklet
put out IbY Massey3Iarris Company,
entitled "Implements and Munitions
for Wartime Needs."
,f'ac'ts of three different calibres,
wings and spars for trainer planes
light and heavy bodies for trans-
port vehicles, special mechanized
equipment for various branches of
the services, metal fittings for air-
craft, links for tank treads, are
some of the implements of -war
which the eomipany is producing
in quantity. To meet the needs of
the fighting forces for more shells,
more places, and more equipment,
the wheels of Massey -Harris war
industries are kept turning to
maximum capacity.
The company has concentrated uP•
on making shell projectiles, for
,which purpose three seperate de-
partments, one for 25 -pounders, one
for 60 -pounders, and one for aati-
ah+craft shells, have been equipped
and put into production. Modern
automatic machines turn out shells
four times faster than in the last war
and thousands of shells come from
these plants every week.

facturing methods Itas enabled

POINTERS ON PIGS
Five axioms in the care of young
Pigs are: (1) Provide iron to prevent
anaemia in suckling pig's; (2) give
iodine to tihe sow to prevent goitre
and hairlessness; (3) provide miner-

Belgrave Hen Has
Inclusive Patent On
Its Egg 'Shells
(Mitoheli Advocate)
We've seen a lot of queer eggs in
ow day, but the half -egg found
on a Logan farm reeently could not
compare with one reaching the Ad-
vocate office this week front the
farm Home of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh
Rina (Clara. Stoneman) at Belgrave.
It wasn't a white egg, nor it was.
n't a 'brown, egg but its shell land a
beautiful in-between tint scarcely
describable, Furthermore, its shell
surface was, of no common, smooth,
variety, this Plymouth Rock ben
having gone "ritzy" in, its dress,
which resembles a walnut s11e11,
rough and streaked, and as Mrs.
Rina described it, indented with
many V's. But it was much larger
in size than the walnut shell it ab
tempted to imitate. Now. here,
really is an egg that is AN EGG—
and no mistake.
'When the Huron Plowing Match
Committee looked around for same
one to head th•e' billeting committee,
their glance rested on the rotund
figure of Ross. McGregor, 'well-known
I3ullett farmer, who so perfectly per.
sonifies, "mine host." '
Mr, McGregor, however, is faced
with a bigger problem than- that of
welcoming She Macs asnds who will
attend the International Plowing
Match; whiter, conies to Huron on
October 13, 14, 16 and 16. To him
and this committee faille the task of
finding six hundred homes within
the imanediate site of the match
that will aecoan¢nodate visitors tor
the week, It is a big job—that of see-
ing that International visitors have
a bed upon, whidil .t6iey can lie when
their clay's work is done—'but the
manner in Which the committee Is
approaching bbs job and the steady
response of the people in the dis-
trict assures every International
visitor a home away from home
while he or she is a guest in Huron,
With Ross McGregor on the conn-
mittee are Frank Fingtaitd,
Linton; Withur Jowett, I3ullett;
M. A. Reid, Geaforth, and Ross
Scott, hrucefeld, They will be
responsible allotating the thousand
