WIN GUAM Air a Ant' Build up the Mighty National Force ▪ OR fifty years the Teuton ▪ peoples have been trained, disciplined, whipped, into servile cogs of an implacable military machine, by which is maintained the Prussian doctrine of might, and the Kaiser's autocracy. The Teutons deny themselves, they make sacrifices, because they are trained or forced to do so, but they do it. The peoples of the Allied nations must make great sacrifices and tremendous efforts in order to defeat the enemies of freedom, but because they are free peoples it is left largely to the individual to say what or how much self-denial each will practice. So if freedom is to prevail individuals must make voluntary sacrifices which in the aggregate will be greater than the forced sacrifices of the enemies of free- dom. • 9 . THE measure of your love of freedom is your willingness to deny yourself so that the strength of the nation for war effort will be increased. . This self-denial must take the form of money-saving—thrift. Each person knows in what way he or she may save. The national need says you must save, .but free Canada leaves it to you to say by what means and to what extent you will save. ,OW,it is for you, each of us, everyone of us to say how much patriotic endeavor, how much loyal sacrifice we will make by saving our money, by "doing without" so that each day will see a surplus to add to our own and the nation's strength. No matter how small the surplus it is important because each saving is an effort made, and many small individual efforts make the mighty national force.

The farmer can take full ad- vantage of this situation only -by adding to his equipment of time and labor-saving ma- chinery. Time and labor are money. When time and labor are saved, money is saved. Time and labor-saving de- vices for working the land do not produce complete results in themselves. The farmer must have rapid and depend- able means of placing his products on the market.

The ordinary pullets begin laying at from six to seven months of age, and many farmers get a few pullet eggs in October and November, followed by little or no production in December or early January. This frequently is due to a change • in roosting quarters or being over- crowded and underfed in the poultiejr house. To get the best results the pullets should bo placed in winter quarters by November 1st. Sometime in Aug- ust or September the henhouse should. be thoroughly cleaned,' the walls, • ceiling, etc., brushed down, and all old cobwebs, etc., removed, then give the house a good white- washing, and if the floor is earth or' •sand at least four inches of it should he renewed, • If at all possible, separate the pui-.., lets from the old hens and cockerels. In order to lay well, they should be \fed all they will eat, particularly of ground grains and green foods, and should not be overcrowded. About twenty-five to thirty-five pullets is plenty for a pen°twelve feet square; in feet, in many cases twenty-five pallets in the pen will lay almost, as many eggs as the thirty-five. Should you be fortunate in having too many" pullets, or where .you can make a selection, get the earliest and best. matured ones into the pen first. 1f ..,,nu have to crowd or sell some get rid of the small, weak ones and those that are slaw to develop.

NEW CHILDREN'S SHELTER 'I'he last regular meeting of the Child- ren's Aid Society for the county of Iluron, held in the court house, Coderich, on Tuesday, September 10th, was specially interesting because of the consideration of furnishing and occupying the new shelter purchased by the county council a few weeks ago. The Warden's com- mittee had examined the premises on the previous Saturday in company with a committee of the C. A. Society, and some improvements and alterations were de- ckled upon, which are 'to be made forth- with. The comtnittee also agreed to furnish some of the staple articles needed in the equipment of the house. Offers from the Women's Institutes of Goderich and Clinton to assist in furnishing the house have been received and gratefully acknowledged, and donations of individual articles and partial sets have also been received from several citizens of town. The Society will be glad- to receive from individuals or organizations in sympathy with the work, in any part of the county, donations, of blankets, pillows, • sheets, towels, dishes acid kitchen utensils, in fact of anything that will be needed for the comfort and proper care of children, and cash donations or supplies of .provisions will also be welcome. Write the county secretary, Mr. G. M. Elliott, and tell him whit you can do for the work. Anyone who had been present at this last meeting would have readily realized the. magnitude and importance of ;the Society's work, the cases of neglected. or wayward children on the docket bating more than could be considered at one sitting. It is worth while quoting that three cases of cruelty to animals were reported as dealt with, including one from the neighborhood of Exeter which was particularly cruel, but in which the de- fendant pleaded guilty and paid a stiff penalty. This, too, is a work the Society prosecutes earnestly. It is hoped the new. shelter will ba Sufficiently ready for use early in October, and the formal public opening will take place during county council week in December, when the Provincial Super--• intendent, Mr. J. J. Kelso, and other workers are expected to be present.
