IIB threshing gang is not an untried experiment in Ontario. In certain coun- tiers Lambtou for instenee, these gangs have been employed and have proven very successful. Neither tho threshermen nor the farmer in these cases care to, return to the old methods of changing help with neigh- bors where men for the threshing gangs can be secured. The Outsrlo Department of Agricultusc- and ttie Ontario Trades and Labor Branch aro now eo-operating to make ar- rangements to eueure an ample SUP - ply of labor for as many threshing gangs as are likely to be organized this fall, and suggest herein methods of organizing a gang and a plan of organization. Tho Difficulties—Overcotne Them. (1.) In the early p..rt of harvest The Hun got to the Marne nearly four • years ago, but General Foch hurled him ' back to the Aisne. We may expect that the enemy Will be defeated .again when the Generalissimo chooses to strike back. The:Western Allies are stronger than they were at the first battle of the Marne, and they are steadily growing in strength through the addition of American rein- forcements. The Kaiser has to win in the next few months or lose his throne. That is the reason for his hurry, and for . the terrible price he is paying for his temporary progress. is no time for despondency. As God is in His Heaven. • the cause of justice and humanity is going to emerge triumphant froin the most terrible of all military struggles. * * * Petitions for Resignations WiNGHANI SCHOOL REPORT ,N1.•*•...n•••••,•.••• (Continued from, page I) W Levis G Ledeitt 13e11 W Scott 11 Wilde Cowell 13 Coutts ....... ..... ..... ..121 G Carter 67 35 315 . .. .... 803 297 246 182 126 E Chettleburgh Total 392.

M Thurlow Adair F Bowden wheu many moves must be made and when comparatively small amounts of grain are threshed, the thresher - man finds•it difficult, often, to make a profit oven under present methods. If he employs a gang his expenses will be much heavier. His charges therefore must' be high enough so that later in the season he may re- gain what is lost at this time. (2.) But at any time during the threshing season the.re may be con- siderable idleness during the fre- quent changes from farm to farm caused by the camparatively small amount of grain to be threshed 00 ine average farm. 13y good organiz- ation this lost time may be limited to the minimum, hov,•ever., by having the majority of the changes made at night. Thresher Board Men. (2,) If the farmer were obliged to board the gang a certain element of UUrn.irlieSS could not be avoided, It would seem, therefore, that the thresher should be responsible for this. The most convenient way in Ontario, perhaps, would be for tho thresher to make arrange.ments with eacti farmer to provide meals for the men, the thresIser to bay for the same, (4,) It would seem necessary for sach thresher to provide, a sleeping van for his gang and the men to pro. side blankets, as is done in the North- west. These vans are home-made and one can ,be conetructed for the average Ontario gang for about $100, lf the thresher does his own buildings Nothing ornate is required. A struc- ture 10 feet wide by 12 feet long, built on trucks, wind -proof and rain- proof and with two tiers of bunks on each side would .afford ample sleeping accommodation for an On- tario gang. (5.) As several men constitute a gang the weekly wage sheet would run fairly high. This would involve a considerable regular expenditure on the part of the thresher, which in turn would necessitate prompt pay- ment by farmers. Where gangs are employed it is. necessary for farmers to give cash or 30 -day notes imme- diately the job is done. - (6.) Probably the most important factor of all is the rates which the thresher will charge. These must, 01 course, be much higher than those charged formerly. This would make the threshing bill a fairly large sum. Yet the farmer could still make profit by the transaction. If, by em- ploying a gang, he' were enabled in the two weeks thus saved to prepare an additional 10 acres, say for wheat, he would have from 250 to 350 extra bushels of this crop to sell in 1910.

The last problem is that ot seeuring Menm. The average gang would probably consist of eight men as follows: Engineer, blower mien, feeder, grainman and four mow or stackmen. This would leave the farmer to take care of Ws straw and Lo supply another man to carry grain if one were not sufficient. A team of his horses would -also be required to draw .water. Ile would supply fuel, of course, as is now done. 113 organizing a gang of this na- ture possibly not more than two or three could be secured in the local- ity where it was desired to operate. The Ontario Trades and Labor Branch will undertake to supply as many men as can be secured for this purpose. It is thought there will be no insuperable difficulty in securing stiflicient men for this purpose at rea- sonable wages during tho threshing montlet. Where the silos are to be filled the same gangs, or as many men as are required, may be utilized for- this purpose. Organize a Gang In Your Disralet.

But the young man—Tom Shortley—hall met Joan, the winter before when she visited IA friend in his home town. And oae reason he was so glad to undertake trip to collect funds for the recreation work of his camp was because his itinerary included Joan's home town. - "Yes," said Sam, as he dexterously ewung around it corner into the long suburban ehad that led to his house. "Joan's a great girl. You see we've got no men In our family to send to the front; can't say I'm sorry Joan's not a son, for I'd miss her it lot. But when this economy war talk came into fashion, Jean said she must do.her bit to make up for being a girl. And as luck would have it, our servants—a cook and a waitress—left. AVIATORS MIST HAVE WINOS In response to the appeal sent out early in the season by the Organization of Re- sources Committee of Ontario, the flax - growers of Western Ontario have acceded to the request to "grow more flax." With at least fifty per cent more flax acreage under cultivation this year there is great need of an organized 'effort to provide sufficient labor for this increased crop. As is now well known, flax fibre is abso- lutely necessary for the construction of aeroplane wings. Flax, therefore, is an indispensable munition of war. At a recent meeting to discuss the flax situation some vital facts were disclosed, Russia and Belgium formerly supplied five -sixths of Great ,Britain's, demand; now they supplit little, if any. Consequently, and despite the greatly increased acreage of flax in Ireland, Great Britain has not now more fibre on hand than is sufficient to keep the mills running one and one- half days a week.. So the situation is this, that the Allied flyers must have wings and the supply of flax fibre is short. The situation, however, is not one witheut hope—and Western Ontario and -certain parts of the United States are the hope. Therefore, the flax fibre crop in Western Ontario this year must be saved The urgent necessity of the fibre for war needs denlands it. It is the duty of everyone in the community, in a spirit of national service, to co-operate with the flax - growers to save this crop The flax - growers have done their part in so largely increasing the acreage under crop, it is now "up to us" to supply the deficiency of labour. 439 438 436 435 435 431 423 421 418 417 409 407 403 402 401 401 40396 393 390 385 281 380 373 376 ‘. 373 M Seli G McDonald N Carr D Lunn M Coutts R Wagner F Carter A Hutton Clark J Levis H Bristow .44 F Groves - DRUG—EL iS-PHY110-11iN CHIROPRACTIC Lily Groves W Fitt A Coutts II Bayles Etien Joan 111 Led lwr spoon 'toheg iktlirke lips, lIorrors1 What she tasted Will olY47.4044 ;lot milk, but 41o•liei4..; M•,..gln 7 1:111 wade a.• iszoi the 3eit milk? ;him looked stealthily al 1T T too her mother.
