in the local press throughout the province.
In this respect we would direct the ac-
hievement in agricultural production, as
recently shown through the sale of thoro-
bred stock, by J, J. Merner, M. P., at h's
farm near Zurich, on Wednesday last.
From the proceeds of the sate of stock the
swig sum of $16,430 was netted, besides
the cash values of other articles, placing
the total receipts in the colunm of the
sale ever conducted in the County of
Huron, In order to furnish an ad-
equate idea of the immensity of this
sale, it may be cited that over 250
autos were lined up alongside the farm
fences during the time of sale. This large
number of automobiles, alone and while
not enumerating the other vehicles of
conveyance, will tend to indicate to our
readers the splendid wealth of the farming
community of this prosperous portion of
Western Ontario, Mr. Merner has re-
served forty head of the best thorobred
cattle for herd purposes some of which
may be seen on thelarm homestead near
Seaforth, and having recently purchased
the Gemmill farm in Ttzckersmith, a por-
ion of the herd will be kept on that farm.
It may also be stated that Mr. Merner
will farm 600 acres of land this season,
200 acres in beans and 125 acres in flax.
This instance alone in farming activities
will furnish ample proof that farming pays
the farmer up to the hilt consequently
there shop1 I be no dimunition, in food
acreage this season through pre -supposed
financial considerations on the wrong side
of the ledger. This, to a certain extent
will also dispel the bogey of farm labor
help, when it is considered that Mr. Mer-
ner's family farm help is a minus quantity
he having to rely solely upon the available
farm help in this locality. The first re-
quisite essential for adoption by our farm-
ers is to have every acre under till-
age and the farm help will he forth
coming when required to garner the har-
vest. Lloyd George in a letter addressed
to the farmers throughout the Empire,
says: "Therefore, in the nation's honor,
heed! acquit yourselves like men, and as
workers on Iand do your duty with all
your strength . " The patriotic man and
woman -power of Canada will never be
found wanting in the maintenance of our
Canadian heroes overseas, The financial
success of the sale is the most complete
congratulations'that may be offered the
busy member for South Huron,

There was not a sweeter or prettier
girl in Rocktou than Ivy Lane, and
Rodney had known her for about a
year. The parents of both smiled In-
dulgently upon the manifest mutual
sentiments of the couple. Rodney re-
garded Ivy as a being ethereal. He
was so imbued with a segue of her
priceless perfection that he grew abash-
ed when the dared to hope he was to
gain the love of this peerless creature,
naturally of a shy nature, he had made
little progress In his lovemaking,
There was to be a party at the home
of Ivy, and about a Week before that
Rodney saw her home from a church
social. As they were about to part
at the garden gate he mustered up the
courage to disclose what had been ur-
gently upon his mind for many hours,
"Ivy," he said, "when I come to the
party at your house next Wednes
day, I want you to accept a little keep.
sake from me. Will you?"
"But you gave me a lovely bouquet
of roses only yesterday and—"
"But this isn't roses. I want to give
you a ring."
"Oh, Rodney --shocking I" laughed
Ivy.

probable that camps will be established at
various centres throughout Huron County
similar to those in use last year in the

have ordered it, and if you will only
wear it on your engagement finger--"
"There is mother calling, Good night,
Rodney," and Ivy flitted away, prob-
ably happier than she (lad ever been
in her life,
"She did not say she wouldn't ac- •
cept the ring," breathed Ttodney cour-
ageously, and counted the hours till
the arrival of the evening party. Ivy
received him with a gracious smile
that set every nerve tingling, but as
the hostess of the evening she could
give him no further exclusive atten-
tion. A Miss'Lisle fell to, his charge,
partly through the efforts of the young
lady in question to stake it so, and in
all courtesy Rodney found himself set-
tled as partner and escort for the oc-
casion to that flashing beauty from the
city, temporarily visiting a -married sis-
ter in Rockton.
Miss Lisle WAS a siren in a mild
way, While she despised what site
termed the crude social ways of Rock -
ton, she set herself up as a desperate
flirt, and had half the girls by the ears
because of her audacious appropria-
tion of their beau. Now it seemed
that she had set about the conquest of
Ivy's poor lone lamb, who, although
thus singled out by the brilliant queen
of beauty, longed only for one mo-
ment's sweet converse with the real
idol of his heart.
At last Rodney, watching his chance,
saw Ivy dart through the doorway of
a darkened wing room to reach the
front hall as ther0 were solve arriv-
ale. Rodney hastened into the • unlit
apartment, He clutched an escaping
figure.
"The ring!" he whispered ardently.
"Here it is. You will make me so
happy.to wear it on your engagement
finger."
The yielding form fluttered In his
arms.
"You—you wouldn't kiss me, would
you?" he added in wild desperation.
A pair of Iips met his own. He
seemed in paradise. Voices neared.
.They parted precipitately. Rodney has-
tened back to a crowded room and
sank to a chair, feeling as if the world
had been won. IIe was in such a state
of rhapsody that he wished to be
alone. He looked up with a shock.
He made out Ivy, and smiled at her.
She seemed to turn her back on him.
She was speaking to Miss Lisle, who
was animatedly flourishing a ring on
her engagemeet finger, and glancing
knowingly in the direction of Rod-
ney.
The latter was crushed. He real-
ized the truth 'in a flash. Ile had not
met and kissed Ivy in the dark, but oh;
fatal blunder, Miss Lisle. She came
toward him now in her artful way of
gracefulness.
"I have just been telling our dear
mutual friend, Miss Lane, ,of your
pretty present," she said. "And oh!
Mr. Trumbull, I promised sister to be
home by eleven, and it is now nearly
midnight. Won't you see to my
wraps," and almost without realizing
It Rodney was bustled out of the
house and Miss Lisle was languishly
hanging on his arm, prattling pretty
nothings in the mellow moonlight.
He hated himself as an arrant cow-
ard as he left Miss Lisle at the door
of her sister's home. She was a flash-
ing flame of Coquetry, she plainly cons
bldered that they were engaged, she
insisted on his joining herself and her
friends in an auto drive the next aft-
ernoon.
"I will tell her plainly of the error
she is Iaboring under. And I must
tee Ivy!" resolved Rodney. But when
he rang at the door bell of the Lane

shim coldly and stated that Ivy was tn,,

Are you giving aid and
comfort to the enemy?
i
Any householder in your neighborhood
who has a garden plet-\or who owns a piece
of suitable vacant 1.4 that is not being
put under cultivation in order to increase
food production, is (though he or she may
not believe it) giving aid and comfort to
the enemy in restraining food production,
as really as is the Submarine Commander
who sinks an Allied ship laden with food.
The difference is only one of degree, not
of kind.
Look aro-and You! Look around you !
If you have not yet decided to plant a vegetable garden make up your mind to
do so now, You will not regret it. There is still lots of time. Potatoes and beans may
be planted up to June lst and these are the best substitutes for wheat and meat.
For good, practical advice upon how to lay out and cultivate a Vegetable
Garden, write for a free copy of the booklet entitled: "A Vegetable Garden for
Every Home," This has been prepared by the Ontario Department of Agriculture for
the guidance of citizens who will respond to this call for increased production.

A Barnyard Story
The farmer said unto his son, yes
Willie was his - name, "Here is a
calf for you, nij boy, to educate and tame.
It shall be yours to raise and feed, to care
for and to scrub, to water it and diet it
upon all wholesome grub"
The boy looked pleased at such a start,
a tear camped in his eye—he told his dad
he'd do his best, he'd make an honest try.
That calf it had a bright career, it grew
to beat the band, it was the • finest looking
scud that grazed upon the land.
He fed it water, gave it hay, put bran
into its feed, that cow had everything, by
heck, a cow could ever need.
It was along in fall the boy; with an im-
portant air. put ribbons on the critter's
tail and led it to the fair. And there it
cleared everything from all the land
around—it was a cow right froth the horns
to where it touched the ground. •
A drover came around one day to buy
some milling stock, and then the boy who
fed the cow received one awful shock.'
The buyer pulled a long green purse that
never could go smash -the boy he sold the
cow all right but father took the cash.
It's just such things as that, they
say, that work a heap of harm, and stake
it most almighty hard to keep boys on the
farm.
A Stingy Man
Our readers will pardon us if we let a
brother editor give his opinions of a stingy
man. We are glad there are none such
in our town, but all other towns •have
them. Our brother editor says that if
there is anything on earth that gives him
a longing for eternal rest and deep, damp
solitude it is a man who comes to a town
or country, builds up a big paying bust- .
ness, grows rich and then •squats down an, • •
the gold like a hen ona door knob and
too stingy even to let the gravel grind, ittt,
his own gizzard. • A real, gerit.iine 18-karet
stingy selfish man, can't be honest, and jf
he ever gets to. Heaven and•has wings, he,.
fblds them up and walks for. fear. the ;will
ruffle a plume or lose a tail feather. The.
kind of men who build up a town 'acid ,
country enjoy life and snake the „best
'zeas, are the enterprisip _ energetic and
liberal men letting others live, and who
do not,.when they get a dollar, squeeze it '
till the. goddess of Liberty feels: like she
had on a corset. Such squeezing is what
causes such hard times and stops the sire
culation of the American eagle. If it were
not for broad-guaged,.enterprisiing sten, it
would be impossible to build up a prosper•
