The cold increased, -and he forsook his heat, wending his way homewards to get his overcoat. Throwing some gravel ■at the window, he roused his wife, asking her to throw his coat down to him, This she -did, also throw­ ing him a kiss. Returning to his beat, he met a brother policeman on point duty and observed. ‘‘Turn­ ed unusually cold tonight, -didn’t it, Bill?” ’ “It did!” exclaimed Bill, then looking curiously, he asked; “But, Jim, er—ah—how long have you been a sergeant?”* y * * A little rain, a little wind, A baseball game one -day In short, sox-hose a girly goes, To watch the home team1 play.

Count- Counting sheep heads is the number of nannies in Every square inch ofv our gardens, every square foot of our fields, every animal on our farms must be cared for up to the limit in order that Britain may have food. Every man, woman and child behind the white chalk cliffs of old England is at his job and up -to his job to the very limit that the Union Jack may be kept fly­ ing. Every -potato we produce relieves by that much the strain upon our brave British cousins. We win only when w& are of one mind under wise leadership. The loafer and the time waster are public enemies. , IT IS STILL PROCEEDING * We hear little about it, but the Battle -of -the Atlantic Is going on. Only those brave sailors know anything of the dark, terrible struggle that proceeds hour by weary hour amid -the storms and mists and icebergs and -mountain waves of that perilous sea. But the battle goes on no matter what the danger, no -matter what the cold and fatigue. It goes -on -that we may be free and that “government of the people, by -the people and for the people may not perish from )the earth.”. All -honour' to those women of our town and of the province and of the Dominion who knit every minute -they can snatch from their busy lives that -these -brave -protecting friends .of ours may be clad against frost -and ice and sleet. * A * r * * * A HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF CANNOT STAND The United States rulers have the sense to see that there can­ not be two supreme bodies within their boundaries. Little by little some.labour leaders have been pinching the constituted authorities fill they had come to believe that the President of the^United States was. bound, to play second fiddle to th© presidents of this organiza­ tion, till the other-, day they openly defied the United States (govern­ ment. The pr'esiden’t of the United' States moved in his troops, and told the petty defiers to go away back and to sit -down. Uncle Sam forgot the ballot box,and -did a good job at staying by law and order. In’Canada we require similar’ firmness and promptness of action on -the part of properly (constituted authority. W-hen authority speaks, it is not the part -of anyone, to sass back. The ballot box never should bulk larger than the statute book. «**««*** A NATION BUILDER He will tell you that he is only a working man. Well, here is , what he has done. He has earned ’and won his snug little home. He has a fine garden. He works from dewy eve till setting sun, ten ■hours for his employer and the rest of the time in his garden. He has no icar.^but he bought -a victory bond that would pay for one of the best icars anyone heeds. Oh, yes, he has -a cow and a couple of pigs. He does ndt shine at parties thrown by the «Umpties but “He looks the whole world, in the face, for he owes not any man.” He is not one of. -our show people. He is not even mentioned when committees for big plans are considered. Still, he builds the nation and Exeter would be a Whole lot -poorer were he' to pack and leave >the town.'

We have been asked what we meant by our reference to in­ itiative on the part -of -our leaders in the present war. The making • of mist around Crete by our German enemies illustrates what we had in mind. The British gunners were rendered almost helpless by this mist. If, we urge, the Germans could make mist, why can not our • defenders make clouds 'that Would obscure the aim or the German 'airmen? ‘We have been supporting schools and (universities at enormous 'cost. ’ Why da not these institutions icome to our air in our extremity? If Crete were so important, why did not our lead­ ers sees to it that it w-hs defended long before a Gorman dropped a shell thereon? Why was not Syria made impregnable years ago? Why. was it given to the control of what British, statesmen have called “our ancient and inveterate enemy?” Further, why should We have ___ ____ twenty years ago, had a mortgage of four thousand dollars on their farm premises. This couple -accepted the loan terms of the govern­ ment. What is better still, they lived up -to the terms the govern­ ment offered. They could not always meet -their-payments. When they were unable to do SO they notified -the government and WOre -dealt fairly by. What they were behind any one year, they made up as soon as possible. The result is -that they -are now in sight of their las-t payment and are still young. Mere -grubbers and slaves? By no means. This farmer and his wife do their full share in the work of the local church and in the various local activities. They have not forgqtten their -duties as good neighbours. ‘ Their farmland stock have improved as they have gone along. They have had reverses. Experiments and farm business ventures have gone wrong. But they worked ahead.
