SO: BE IT!
And so will this my harvest be
For all the rich soul's sowing
Of love and longing and desire
And all the thronging hopes,
Tb reap a lonely 'fire
Upon some hill with cold winds
,blowing
And wintry air' to freeze any tears,
This the harvest 'of my years?
Alone I have been evermore,
Not strange will seem the grave's
dank door,
And Death 'will seem . a . familiar
friend,
If this my harvest and my end
i aril content that,•so be it,
Theatre of 80 be it!

• That old saying, so well known to farm folks :.
tallow to the end of the furrow'• ... so aptly makes
our duty plain. And the end of the furrow is beyond
the horizon.
Our men on the fighting fronts have weary, trying
days ahead of them. We, on the home front, must
not waver nor falter. Our duty is clear, we must
keep faith with our fighters. On Canadian farms we
must maintain our efforts to produce the foods our
fighters and our allies need. That work will
reward us with increased incomes.
And we must save ... to have money to lend to our
country to pay. the increased ,costs that this war
continues to pile up.

Money invested in Victory Bonds will help to buy
the tools of war. They don't last long in action.
They must be replaced. It's out job .. l the home

everything they need.
Victory Bonds yield a double harvest. They pro- •
vide our country with money to carry on the war;
Later, they will provide money to buy things we
will want and need, and . which we have done
without during the war. Victory Bonds will pro-
vide cash to pay for improvements for farm and

better stock new car . furnishings and
conveniences for the home.
