An ingression still seems to prevail ,in the minds of a few that the age limit is 60. The Registrar for North Huron, H. Bellamy, wishes to emphasize that there is no age limit— , male and female, sixteen years fof age and over must register on or before { the 22nd: The penalties for non-registra- tion are severe. Unless you have a registration certificate after the 22nd you I will not be allowed to employ. any one; you cannot be employed by any one; you cannot purchase a railway or steamboat ticket; you cannot board or lodge at any hotel nor eat in any restaurant; in fact it will be rather risky going out in public as peace c,fficers will he instructed to de- ! mand anyone to produce his certificate. Registration is law; it must be complied with; it is a national duty. But the Registrar feels that the good people of , North Huron will not attend for registra- tion in a spirit of compulsion but rather in a spirit of patriotism_ as they will realize its great importance. Those invalided to their homes and anyone sick or too old to attend one of the booths will, it is hoped, be visited by assistant registrars in their own homes for THE WING.

Mines, Turnberry, Dear Mrs. Mines,—' Many thanks for the socks, They're a mighty good pair and I'm going to hang on to thern -- and. for the maple leaf—it's like a breeze from home. I'm one of the McEwen's on the 2nd of Turnberry and they would be very &ad at home I know, if you'd tet them know that I got the sox. I'm not in the Canadians now but in an English Artillery brigade, and it makes one a bit .Homesick sometimes and I'm always looking out for a face from home, especially as we're now right among the Canadians, but so far I haven't seen a soul from around our way. To -night though, I had a letter from Jim Mc- Naughton, on the next farm to ours, and I find he must be quite close by. Things don't look so bright just now but there isn't a man in the army that has any doubt of the outcome and were all happy as clams and getting home will be all the better when it does come. Cheerio, and thank you very very much for the note as well as the sox. I'ai going to write home now and tell them about it. Sincerely Lieut. P. McEwen, 126 Army Brigade, R, F. A. B. E. F.

However should they not be called upon they can register later on at the postoffice.

Reynolds will supervise the work of registration in Wingham and information, etc. can be procured from her or Mrs. McKibbon and any of the other Deputy Registrars. In rural sections registration will take place in each schoolhouse the teachers in each case acting as deputies. 'Information can also be procured from them. — Be sure you register and register early. Who is going to be the first to carry away a registration ,certificate?

Matt Burns stepped mom a wood- land path, past the edge of a little bush guarded covert and deposited upon the greensward a basket, well filled, He chuckled and grunted with evident self-satisfaction. Then his .eyes rested with a quick, tender light upon tt bey- ieh-taced, invalid -looking man, many years his junior, who set with his back to a tree, dozing. Beside the latter was a pad of blank paper and a pencil, and alongside of these was a folded sheet. Both Matt and his friend, or rather charge of his, were tattered as to raiment, and a smoldering woad fire, some handy utensils, made the whole presentment tramplike in its suggestiveness. "Poor fellow 1" soliloquized Mutt. "At the rhymes again, I suppose. HI 1 X say—famous luck!" he added, with a kind of hilarious cheer to his tones, for the other had suddenly awakened. Erick Doane glanced lingeringly at the basket and then inquisitively at the face of the other. "You sold the poem?" he questioned eagerly. "I did, and no trouble at all. Oswald & Ewing just exactly grabbed it, and say I ordered another one for a big sale they've got on for Saturday. I 'r fitted out Rev. D.

I hap- pened to mention about you and our fig, and the head of the firm got quite Interested, and said he'd double the price if you made the poem a. funny one." "Now, isn't that fine !" cited Erick, his wan face aglow with pleasure. "Cheap, too cheap," declared Matt, wagging his head sapiently. "Why, if we were fixed so you were comfortable and easy in your mind, you could turn out regular high-up magazine stuff, or get out a book and all that, and make a fortune in a year.", "That's a dream, Matt," said Erick, sorrowfully. "Yost overestimate me, dear old fellow that you are. I can jingle together a few simple rhymes, but real poetry takes genius, and I'm along way front having that." "Is that so?" vociferated Matt storm- ily. "I know better. What did we do• at the last town, where you wrote a dedication poem on a new city hall they were putting up? Five dollars from the orator of the occasion. And the little two-line rhymes_,you got up for a party of some young folks. Ten cents apiece, and forty of them. Say, Albert Tennyson would have doted on you, and Lord Byron would have made you his close pal." Erick smiled indulgently, and then the two. fell to discussing the edibles the basket contained.. They were tramps, homeless, friendless, but one was a poet in a way, and the other had a great purpose in view and they were by no means of the ordinary drift of hoboes. Matt Burns, true professional, had picked up Erick Doane, who was the poorly paid clerk of a cheap loceging house. The latter was frail, sickly, un- able to do a man's work, and a pliysi- clap had told trim that he could not live long unless he located permanent- - ly in a warm climate. k3ig-hearted Matt took a fancy ,to the young fellow. IIe grew proud of his poetic efforts, he experienced a certain satisfaction in becoming "the patron of a man of genius." "I've adopted you, ErIck," be said one day. "I'm going to get you to Fiore Ida before the cold sets in, and bunk down in some sang spot there, and you shall develop your literary abilities while I work the roads, see?"

Taking Gyp with hltn, ltossiter went over the route of the day previous. When the animal neared the hide-out of the tramps he darted towards it. Erick Doane was seated under a shady tree,' writing. This was suggestive to Rossiter. lie nppron,ehed and engaged Eriek In con- versnt'on. Soon he knew that be was the poet whose effusion had paved the way to happiness. Then Matt appeared. Waldron Ros- siter was gentle hearted and sympa- grain. "What's the new screed, Erick?" Inquired Matt, as he noticed the folded sheet lying on the grass. "Oh, that is a set of rhymes of the love sort," answered Erick casually. "I never was in love, but that's the kind of stuff I would write if I were." "Send it to some magazine, Erick," suggested Matt, "and maybe you'll catch on." But Erick smiled dubiously, for he knew that he was simply a rhymester and not a poet. And when next he sought to show his love verses to Matt later on, the wind had blown them away or something else was respon- sible for their mysterious disappear- ance. This was responsible: a dog, a smart little fox terrier, trained by its indul- gent master to carry small packages in Its teeth. Unnoticed by either of the tramps, little Gyp had scurried across the grass, picked up the folded sheet, and holding it daintily, scampered back to the side of its strolling master. Waldron Rossiter noticed that his canine favorite was carrying a scrap of paper in his mouth, but that was not uncommon, and he bestowed only cas- ual attention upon the cfrcuntstance. He was thinking of Netta Brice, and a certain trace of self-consciousness was apparent in stride and manner as he passed the house where the beloved one lived. Rossiter was of a shy, ri tiring nature, and he simply lifted his hat to Netta Brice on the porch and passed on. Not so Gyp ; Miss Netta had fed him too many dainties to be forgotten. The animal darted in through the gate- way, deposited the love poem at Net- tit's feet, received a chocolate from a box at her side and then rejoined his master, That evening Waldron called upon Netta. He was immensely gratified to observe her graciousness and interest. Her eyes were sparkling as though some new great joy Infused her, Fi- nally she lifted a folded sheet from a stand. "Gyp was it faithful messen- ger, Mr, Rossiter," she said, "The sines aro beautiful;' "Tire lines?" repeated ltossiter vaguely. "The poem."

"See here, friends," he spoke, "I am mightily interested i,t your plans, and I want to help ,you on your way. I have a bungalow on the Indian river, down in Florida, vacant most of the year. What say you to going there, fare paid, and becoming caretakers till I want to use it? ' Then we can make some permanent arrangements," "You don't mean it, boss !" spoke up the delighted Matt, honest tears of gratitude in his eyes, while Erick voiced his appreciation of the kind offer with sincere emotion. -Rossiter that evening again called upon Netta. "1 have found the poet," he stated y gayl. i_ 3s "Indeed?" murmured Netta. "Yes," and Rossiter recited all the circumstances of the case. "The young poet says he has a great wish," continued Rossiter. "Which is?" "To write out his congratulations for my wedding, Netta," and he drew near- er to her. "Dare I hope that it may be our wedding?" And Erick Doane, happy and well in his new Southern nest of comfort, re- ceived the order for the poem a few months later. Itkp Easy to Increase Acreage. Not only can we greatly increase onr acreage of useful food crops by such impressive and expensive methods as draining swamps and irrigating deserts and the homely one of plowing up pas- tures and brush patches, but the ex- perts have aiso been faithfully telling us such unpalatable, but now hopeful and promising truths as that our acre- age yield of any of the great staples, wheat, oats, barley, potatoes, is'barely half that of the average yield of any of the countries of western Europe, so that we have plenty of room to grow and improve. , This inferior yield from our match- less American soil is due partly to less labor app Med per acre, partly to less fertilizer. Here our experts come for- ward with another even more encour- aging statement, and that is that there is now, in the light of modern agricul- tural science, practically no such thing as a poor soil, or as an exhausted sell, Belgrave Messrs.
