ANO'TILJiiII CLINTON BOY FALLS..
Word was received on 'Tuesday that
Rev, J, L. Hogg of Southait'iptou Arthur Grant, a member of••the Ilur-
has accepted the invitation to, be- on Battalion, younger son of Mrs. L.
come pastor of Willis church and his Grant of *Iw11, had been killed in ac -
transfer was approved by the Brucetion in France on Jan, 21st; The'
Presbytery* last week, Tee, South-
ampton congregation was very loath
to lose their pastdr and offered hint
inducements to remain but he decided
to make the change, He will be In-
ducted into the new charge hers on
March 2nd.
UNLUCKY NUMBER, A0:1IN.
By the dropping of a figure in the re-
port presented by the 0.W.p.A, last
week the Clinton Women's Patrlotio
Society was credited with sending
thirteen pairs of socks to the head-
gnarters at London instead of 138
pairs. The Clinton Society has been.
so diligent and so zealous _n i their
work that it would be a pity. to
shear them of any credit due and The
News -Record cheerfully corrects this
error, .
C.' C. INCREASES GRANT.
At its meeting last week the IIur-
on County Council decided to in-
crease its grant to the Patriotic
Fund from 83000 per. month - to
88000. • The time has gone by when a
wealthy county like Huron can. ignore
the .call of patriotism. 'J'ifose who

of course. besides paying, their full
share of this grant will aid liberally
by voluntary, subscription, and the
majority of the ratepayers in- this
good old county will heartily endorse
the.. action of the County Council.
"BACK TO TEE LAND,"
There is much agitation in the press
Canada and of England as well
lately about increased production
front" 1iih' hoit. In England vnuch of
the land which for centuries has been
devoted to. pleasure parks and pri-
vate grounds ii being utilizeclfor the
growing of food stuffs.
Anyone who has thought of the
matter at all knows that In Canada
we do not produce anyth'ug lite
the quantity- of food stuffs ;that could
be produced here front this fertile
soil. One of the ways suggested for
increasing the production in Canada,
and a way which needs no -Act of
Parliament in order to ntalre possible
or anything -except the will - to_ do,
is to cultivate more zealously the
back lots, garden plots and C0.nnton
or waste land about the towns and
villages. A *r once eat Writer said
b
o c s d
that the man who "made two blades
of grass grow wliere one lead grown
berate" was a benefatitor of the race.
Surely anyone who can coax two bu-
shels of potatoes or beans to grow
suers of potatoes or beans to grow
should be, in these days of high pric-
es for all staple articles of food,
considered a benefactor.
In some Of the larger towns and
cities the Women are forming thein-
selves into leagues to encourage and
promote thrift along these lines. Such
an organization would bay no
doubt of touch benefit but even with-
out any such organization a great
deal could be done byt individuals in
a town like Clinton to reduce the
Cost of living. -
The war has bought about condi-
tions which never, existed in C'an'ada
before and prices stave • soared until
everyone has felt 1110 drain, In some
eases of course the increase has been
legitimate and inevitable, in other
eases again,ain it is to befeared, that
there s w re hose who were willing to
e t t c
make gain out of the net ssity of
their tellows. But however thq may
be anti whatever the cause of the
high cost of potaioes, for instance,.
during the -present season,. if every
househc dor in Clioton had had safe -
tent horns -grown tubers to last his
family through a good part of the -
