The foregoing is a news item pub-

is an old saying that ''second

Russia, .whiles the thought or resis-

',their previous, "I'11 be your servant,
'Sir" attitude, they were too long in

A.11 that is necessary in order to
-ii%i'clerstand and approve Germany's
,methods is tohave the German
point of view. Happily, outside of
'Germany, that point of view is not
-.,common. But it might be as well
'for the ordinary man and woman to
,endeavor to understand just what,
'tliab point of view is. It might
-sweep away . a lot of complacency in,
regard to the present situation and
might ,help to stiffen our backs for
'further and very necessary sacrifices.
'Canada has so far been taking this
-war "lying down" so to speak. With
-the exception of the men who have
•gone to the front and their families
we have sacrificed nothing. If this
war is fought to a finish and a sat-
isfactory peace is reached every
!man, woman and child in Canada will
be• called upon to bear a share of the
•sacrifice. We should be practising
•on the small things 'now so that we
shall be prepared to make the larger
+sacrifices when the time comes.

The Ford Saves the Hay and Oats
a
the _ orses Eat
T HAS been estimated that five acres of land are required to maintain
one horse for a year, and that the same five acres would produce
nearly enough food for two people. If 50,00Q Canadian farmers each
replaced one horse with a Ford, 250,000 acres would bo added to the
Nation's source of food supply and enough extra food made available to.
feed 100,000 people.
Just think what a great service this means to the country at the present
time and the benefit to the farmers from the sale of food produced on
this acreage.
A Ford ear also saves the farmer a week or more of valuable time each
year, which can be used for further productive work. The Ford travels
three times as fast as a horse and rig -costs less to run and keep, and is
far easier to take care of. With labor so scarce and high priced, time
means money, so do not delay in getting'your Ford.
