Several very sudden and unexpect- ed deaths have occurred in Clinton during the past year butm none teae with greater shock, perhaps, than that of Fanny. M., eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hellyar, who was suddenly stricken while on her way ;from the Collegiate at noon on More day. Fanny had passed her sixteenth birthday four months ago and to the casual observer she was the picture of health. It was known by her par- ents that she had a weakness of the heart but it was not thought that it was so serious, She had • gone through her morning work at school without complaint and was on her way home having ran with a friend who accompanied her, up a slight grade, when she suddenly fell on the sidewalk near the residence of Mr. D. S. Chuff. l}fr .Gluff carried her into the house .and the doctor was imnned- lately summoned and her father noti- fied. Life had, fled before either arrived, however. Interment was made in Clinton cemetery, There passed, away in Hamilton on Sunday a foi.-iiuer resident of Clinton in the person of Ml's, John Alcock, who.had .almost completed her eighty- eighth year. The deceased wase foum- •erly Miss Anne Chidley and was a sister of the late Joseph Ohiclley and of Mrs. James Sheppard of Clinton. FROM THE CLINTON NEW ERA .APRIL 5, 1917 • Mrs. H. 13.

The chemical industry and Hydro go hand in hand. Between them they produce explosives for aerial tor- pedoes, depth bombs, land and sea mines, chemicals for flame Throwers -and many other weapons that v.4i1 hit the enemy hard. From the day that war was declared Hydro's two million electrical horsepower was ready to be harnessed to the war effort and today more than half of it is at work, fashioning the myriad THE HYDRO -ELECTRIC POWER tools of victory. in Ontario's chemical industry, huge plants using over 150,000 Hydro horse- power are turning out chemicals and high explo. sives-and more such plants are being built.

COMMISSION OF ONTARIO 1 0 FIRING A TORPEDO oi40.t LAUNCHING A DEPTH CHARGE RED CROSS NOTES (Continued from page 1) joyed unexampled co-operation at the hands of the people of Canada, the press., the radio and the motion pic- ture industry Thousands of women in all parts of Canada have worked faithfully and unremittingly to sup- ply the Red Cross' Society -with the materials, that it needs to take care of the requirements- of Canadian sold:- iers here and overseas, and to look after the needs of the sick and the , suffering among the bombed -out pop- ulation of Britain, and to prepare for whatever eventuality may befall Can- ada itself. "It is only through the Canadian Red: Cross Society that any Canadian can do anything for a Canadian Brit- ish, Australian or New Zealand pris- oner -of -war. It is only through the Canadian Red Cross Society's inquiry bureau and its facilities for interna- tional investigation that information may be obtained as to missing Can- adian fighting men. It is only through the serviee of the blood donor branch of the Red Crosss Society's work that those Canadians who are unable to fight, can supply blood to make good some of that shed by our fighting men overseas. "The Red Cross' is shipping 40,000 parcels to prisoners -of -war each week and has been asked to increase these shipments to 80,000 per week. The cost of supplying prisoners -of - war parcels thin year: alone is more than $5,000,000. Needs $9,000,000 "The Red Cross Society needs now $9,000,000. With its campaign starting on May 11, it will pursue an intensive canvass in which it hopes to reach every Can adian an dto afford every citizen a patriotic opportunity to give to a noble cause. "We realize that the time torr pre- 1 taxation is short, and that every - branch) and every division of the Red Cross Society in Canada 'will require to work unremittingly -in same eases almost night • and day -to be ready in time for the openingg of the drive. ."Any snore protracted period of preparation would; conflict with. the war financing needs' of the Govern - anent of Canada itself. The Red Cross Society is desirous of co-operating with the Government in every post- sible way,, Therefore, the campaign must begin on May 11. The active canvas's is desig-ned to eonciude en Saturday, May 23. During t .leo bay. weeks the society hopes to collect at least $9,000,000 in cash and pledges from the Canadian people "We appeal earnest'y to Camadmae • vs-, ywher, rr-parr thems'Lves to answer the pall and to me t chi; nos ugent ned" Agriculture Carried on Bravely i artime Britain im er Dilculties This is the 14t1i in a series of ar- ticles on conditions in Wartime Brit- , ain and parts of Europe, written l.'o the weekly newspapers of Canada by their own representative, HughTem- plin, of tate Fergus News -Record. t What the farmer grows on his laud 1 in wartime is not left to his judg- e ! meat. Every county has its War Ag- ricultural Committee, and these, in turn, appoint committees in all dis- tricts. These committees are not made ap of politicians, but of work- ing farmers, land owners and farm workers. The agricultural ,colleges have been closed, and professors and other experts serve as full-time ad- visers an these cominitteos. Every farmer is interviewed every year or oftener. He is told what he must grow. The committee may even go so far as to give him a plan of his fields, telling him what to plant in, each field, That sounds deaystic, and is drastic. Actually, in practice, the system: is largely voluntary, because nearly all farmers are willing and anxious to co-operate as a patriotic duty. They pride themselves than they still live tin a democratic country and because their own neighbors are on, the committees, the plan works largely as a voluntary co-operation. But to an outsider it looks rather different. If • farmers will not co-operate, the ',committee has power to force hint to do so, If he is entirely incompetent to produce more, he may be taken from his farm. A few rugged indi- viduals have even gone to jail. Essential Foods Come First If the British farmer does not pee - duce more, many people will go hun- gry and erome may starve. Therefore, the committees concentrate on the production of those foods which will go farthest toward feeding as many as possible, and they try to out out, waste of all kinds, Wheat and pe - tato production seems to have soared, Oats are largely grown and alfalfa seemed to me to be a favorite crop. The growing season last year was, excellent, with a damp summer and an• long, sunny autuinn. The second crop of hay and alfalfa was excellent. I saw strange objects in many' cJ' the fields which I took to be stoke, of hay or grain wound around with. what looked Iike tar paper and net-- tin,g I learned that they were tenm- poraay Mins. Emphasis is being pmt. on ensilage as the best method of producng .dile Most cattle feed. There are other makeshifts. A pat - ceps has been drieeoveredl for nuking: a pulpy feed out of straw, on farms' with sufficient water supply. Stow or chaff isl cutest, soaked. in caustic sada solution and then washed for a long time ire running water. Int, takes; the place of tp¢'nips. Sehooi ohildresrt are paid to gather acorns to feeds to the pigs. No doubt many readers of Canadian weekly newspapers would like to know something of agriculture ' in I wartime Britain, and how the farmer Ifares. Travelling: with a group of editors tors of city papers, I had not as much opportunity to study farming condition's as I would have Piker!,, but I was able to pick ap a good deal of information in trips outside Loudon. I The farmers in Britain fill just as Important a place as the soldiers) or the munition workers. One hears that said sometimes' .of Canadian farmers, ' but while there may be some doubt 'in Canada, there is none in H:ngland and Scotland, Before the war, mare than half the food consumed in Britain was import- ed either from Denmark and other European countries, ar from Canada and other places awns) the •oceans. Not only that, but some of the fodder for animals was imported and a large part of the chickens and) hog feed. The people of Britain roust eat. All imparts front Europe have been cut off, except •occasional shipments of oranges from Spain and Portugal, All imported' food must be brought from Canada, or farther away. That costs money and lives. Shipping space is precious. 1t cannot be used for animal foods) or bulky articles stich as packaged breakfast 'cereals. And every ton of •extra food that can be produced in Britain is desperately needed. Net has b come a secondary consideration. Farmers Told What To Raise • A few !month's befere the war ac- tually started, a bonus of some $8.00 an acre was offered to farmers for every acre of new land brought undetr cultivation. A Canadian, travelling itt England for the first time, gets the- idea that every acre of Iand is in use. Thsa'e are no unsightly fence -corners. ;For that mattes -' there are few fence'', Evidenty woad and fencing materials are a'earee tend so..hedges are used.' Most fields ate smaller than in this ' country and, the farms all look neat j ani! tidy. But evidently, there was much waste lanai, not only en large estates hut on ;small farms. Swain/ay pieces have been -drained;; meadows that were in grads for and n i •, years have been turned over bhy the. plow and actually millions of acres land are cultivated:. eon nue on page 6)
