In reply would like to ask, would the farmer be willing to pay his help, the same as paid privates in His Majesty's Service?

The same farmer speaks of a cow being worth $150.00 Who is it that raiseth the cow that nets her owner the $150 00% He also speaks of the high price of feed Who grows the feed which fetches the high price either in its raw seeete, or in pork beef, mutton, fowl, eggs or butter? We do not begrudge the farmer the fruit of his toil, for surely he works hard for alt that he gets, but yet we feel that to -day he is better off than those of the city, town or village. Our brave boys at "The Front" are also earning, all that they are getting, but it is unfair for our farmer friend to imply, that they are getting less than those on the farm. hied In Flint, Michigan A former well-known resident of Wing - ham, passed away in Flint, Mich , on Friday last in the person of William Cas- sels, who had been in poor health for some months.
