thirty-one cents for their butter fat. They got only about twenty-

about ten per cent more for their product than they got last year.

GOOD NEWS
It is gratifying to learn that under the Lease-LOnd arrange
ment supplies of food are reaching Britain from their American
active sympathizers. We may look for other' supplies to arrive,
all in due -time.- ■ ********
WE WONDER
(First Hess got opt of Germany. Now a big-wig living in Nor
way ds reputed to have committed suicide. .Are these events that
forecast larger events in the near future? Both the men referred
■to are serious-minded men. and do not expatriate themselves, let
alone commit suicide just for the fun of the thing. Britain does
not pay much attention to the acts of such men, but fights on, know
ing that there is no ■ makingof a truce with the ape and the tiger,
********
LET’S DO A GOOD JOB
This war loan that we’re raising is in the -class of must-be- .
dones. Our fighting men require weapons, the very thing they have
been short on. They require ships. They, need clothing. They
must have munitions. In order that these ‘necessities -may be secured
they must have -money. There’s no getting out of that. It’s bette.r
business for us to give this money than for Hitler id take it as he
bundles our liberties and throws them on the scrap heap.* * * * * • • •
WE LUKE THE SPIRIT
Usually after the laying season has been concluded, farmers
send their hens to the happy hunting ground, by the sales route,
to be sure; This year they are -doing nothing of the sort. These
farmers look one in the eye and say,- “Over there In Britain, eggs
are needed. We’re keeping our-hens, reading them the reports of the
need of eggs in the old country and coaxing them to lay as well as
ever they can.”*‘ ■ * * * *
BETTER CHANGE
■ We have been talking since the war broke out of the defence of
■Canada and of the North American continent. We had better get
over this idea. Our job 'is to attack. We need not review our mis
take of unpreparedness. That mistake has been bitterly brought
home to us. Let us not perpetuate the blunder of saying “After
you, Herr Hitler,” Our need is initiative. We are poor affairs
if we cannot anticipate our enemies and go them
■have the men to do this. Let us hear from them,

THE LAST OF THE BISMARK
The Bismark, Germany’s crack battleship, is now at the bottom
■of the Atlantic. This is good news for the Anglo-Saxons and may
prove a significant feature of the war. The difference bptween the
Hood and the Bismark -consisted largely in that the Hood was the
instrument of freedom, while the Bismark was the agent of savag
ery. The loss of the Hood mean the prolongation of the war. The
-sinking of the Bismark accelerated the rising of the star of hope.
When the Hood sank the tigers and jackals showed their presence.
When the Bismarlt went down freemen lifted their faces and took
courage to fight on with braver hearts and hopeful spirits.

ROOSEVELT’S GREAT SPEECH
Roosevelt has been -consistently the friend of ’Britain ever since
his memorable speech at Kingston some years ago, in which he
■said that the United States would not stand -idly by should any
foreign’ foe attack Canada. The darker the scowl of Britain’s
enemies, the brighter his smile and the more helpful his hand.
His active sympathy and his timely aid have been valuable
to the allies beyond all telling.

something like a sneer, “Heaven helps those who help themselves/’
