The citiz ens of the Empire are demanding that every effort be put forth to stop the Nazi advance. They are demanding that the war effort be all that is pos- sible. They are not asking what it will cost in money as they know we must win and win we can if we go full out instead of puttering along in the way we are so prone io do. The drive of the Germans has awakened in the United States the realization that they to be secure must have the best in training and equipment and they are putting their defenses in order on a scale that is war time basis. Are we in Canada putting the force that we should behind our war effort? IVe certainly have had few sore shoulders so far. There is only one explanation that will satisfy our people and that can only be given when we are doing ©nr utmost to win. It is not yet too late, but we must throw our full weight mt© our war effort if it is to J be effective. ; sjf J FIGHT THE FIFTH COLUMN | NOW! J j Th© success with which Germany i fhas used the fifth cofoinn has been a rise to most people. The fact that .s been so successful to date is >wn fault, the fault of the system under which we operate.

AU the world knows of these splendid little French girls that caused, on their arrival in this world, a sensation that will long remain in most memories, The birth of these babies was big news but we believe that it is even bigger news that they are to-day all healthy, happy kids. The management of the quints has caused much discus sion but no one can criticize very ef fectively when they are handled in such a fine way that to-day they are well off, receiving the best of training, free from exploitation, and the pride of our country. The government did a good piece of business when they made them wards of the King, and Dr, Dafoe, their physician, at their birtK and since, is worthy of great praise for the way in which he has looked after their health. Many peo ple domot appreciate the efforts of the country doctor but Dr. Dafoe is just another of the many, many physicians throughout the country who are daily doing admirable work under difficult ies that would stump the specialist. Contrast in Eggs A contrast in eggs was observed in the Port Elgin Times window during the past two weeks, when a 9^2 by 8 inch egg, weighing a little over 5 ounces, was brought in from the farm of Frank Thomas, to contrast with the tiny eggs laid by Findlay Hood’s “Nazi hen." This large egg from the Thomas farm was the product of a Plymouth Rock hen, as was Findlay Hood’s exhibit,—-Port Elgin Times. Continues to Bag Wolves While the Holyrood to Laugside area has frequently been combed by gunmen in search of sheep menacing wolves, it remains with Harvey Scott to have “all the luck," and in a com paratively short space of time he has bagged a total of seven of these ani mals, with each one subject to the Kinloss Township bounty of $20.00 per head. No Government bounty is’ received, as pelts which had previous ly been forwarded to provincial auth orities for examination were ruled to be those of “wild dogs." — Lucknow Sentinel. to 'to' wwl ^*2 •x-j :ig to. 8 II ft fo'-f-vSIB . ........... , EXTRA I EXTRA ........ . ....... .

Good Old Binder An old binder was sold at a Bruce County auction sale the other day, af ter forty-two years of continuous ser vice. The original canvas is still on the bind'er, which is good for many years to come. It was sold for $45 and probably cost little more than twice that amount when it was new in 189S. The owner of the binder stated that it was put into the implement shed regularly when the crop was cut, ’ and that care probably accounts for its condition. There is a hint which many farmers might take note of. — ; Fordwich Record.
