WAR-TIME ECONOMY The Ford Special is the lowest- yriced car in Canada. At its price it offers exceptional value, for it has the same roominess, the same revolutionary riding comfort, as the De Luxe models. It has more passenger room than any other car at anywhere near its price. Its smooth, floating ride is made possible by new slow-motion LOCAL LIMERICKS A thrifty housewife in Kincardine Worked early and late in her garden, But the 'dogs of her neighbours Discouraged her labors, Without even asking her pardon. In another good town by the lake side, Lives a man who his fish fast to break sighed, a gentleman duck, He took home to his cook, Who with onions and sage filled this drake’s hide. A-prominent farmer near Gorrie Does some things for which he is sorry, He makes some mistakes, And his heart nearly breaks, But not when he votes for a Tory. A thirfty old farmer near Belmore, Whose motto is "eat less and sell more”, Of his toiling and slaving, And scheming and saving, It might not be proper to tell more. A pretty girl teacher of Wingham, When she knew any songs liked to sing ’em, Had a silk dress to wear, Which wasn’t quite fair, As the other girls only wore gingham. DRIVE A springs, new shock absorbers, a new kind of ride stabilizer. This Ford, too, is powered with the smooth, thrifty V-8 engine. Ask a Ford dealer to show you what extra value you get in the Ford Special. $35 a month tvith reasonable down payment buys any Ford V-8. SPECIAL ( Huron Motors FORD SALES AND SERVICE Wingham THE LIFE OF WINSTON CHURCHILL The overpowering effect of Tanks in the present war is well-known, but when the First Great War started, there were few who did not scoff at the notion of land battleships. Much of the credit for their introduc­ tion must go to Winston Churchill for fee. braved grave criticisms by dabbling with them. When the idea of "land­ ships” was broached to him in Nov­ ember 1914, he formed a Landships Committee of th'e Admiralty to enquire into their possibilities. The War Office had refused even to consider experimenting with tanks, and pigeonholed plans and designs for a tank with the terse verdict scribbled on the envelope: "The man’s mad!” * * * TOOK A CHANCE.

Writing later of this decision, he says: "Had the tanks proved wholly abortive, or never been accepted, or never used in any way bv the military authorities ... I could have offered no effective defence to the charge that I had wasted public money on a matter which was not in any way my business and in regard to which I had not received expert advice in any responsble military quarter!” When Mr. Churchill left the Cabin­ et, following the Gallipoli disaster, he persuaded Mr. Balfour, his successor at the Admiralty, to carry on with the experiments, and .as a result, tanks were introduced on the battlefields of France late in 191’6, with demoralising effect on the enemy.* ♦ ♦ FORETOLD SUBMARINEMEN­ ACE. As a major in the Scots Guard, Winston Churchill spent some time in France, and although constantly in the thick of the front line fighting, the Churchill luck stayed with him, and he came out unscathed. Once, in the spring of 1916, he re­ turned to London and took part in the debate on the Naval Estimates in Par­ liament. Greeted again as a hero, he uttered some prophetic words on the submarine menace, warning the House that the Germans would certainly em­ bark on unrestricted submarine war­ fare. They did — nearly a year later, and by that time Winston Churchill was again in London, this time to stay. But it was not until July 1917, after twenty months in exile, that Mr. Churchill entered Mr. Lloyd George’s "Win The War” Cabinet as Minister of Munitions. * * * URGED MECHANICAL DEVEL­ OPMENT. Now that he was respons- j ible for supplies, Mr. Churchill did not • forget his old interest in tanks, and despite considerable opposition from still-skeptical military people, one of I his first tasks was to order many thousands of these land monsters. At | the same time, in a memorandum, he urged the War Cabinet to “organize mechanical development upon the prin­ ciple: someone must stop the tiger." He reorganized the Ministry from top to bottom, threw out the "limpets” and , substituted business men. The entry of the United Slates into the war posed new problems for the | Minister of Munitions, for the U.S. t could not equip their vast armies oft men with the arms and guns theyj needed. Britain would have to help I equip these hordes of meh from the i New World, in addition to supplying | her own huge army, now numbering | millions. Thereupon Winstoti Churchill made a contract with the United States to supply the entire American army with medium artillery. The original contract amounted to §500,000,000 and Mr. Churchill expressly declared that there should be no profit on this con­ tract — a significant gesture in view of present Anglo-American co-opera­ tion.* * * “WORK - OR FIGHT.” In spring of 1918, Winston Churchill came face to face with another crisis. Three and a half years of intense war had taken their toll; the nerves of Britain’s mun­ ition workers were on edge. They went on strike! Munition workers had been exempt­ ed from active service, but Winston Churchill told them tersely: “Back to work, or go to the Front.” They went back to work. But they didn’t forget the man who’B beaten them, and al­ though Victory erased their grudge for a time, the Socialists were to have their revenge at one of the bitterest elections that Mr. Churchill ever fought ***Next week: The Irish Problem and "Mr. Churchill meets his Water­ loo.” (Copyright Reserved.

WARN AGAINST FEED GRAIN BEING USED FOR SEED With thousands of tons of feed grain being brought into Ontario from the Canadian West on the govern­ ment’s free freight plan, the Ontario Department of Agriculture ivarns ag­ ainst any of this grain being used for seed on Ontario farms this spring. Agricultural officials state that nei­ ther Western feed grain or badly wea­ thered Ontario grain should be used as seed this or any other year. They point out that the recent Ontario De­ partment of Agriculture seed grain survey shows that there is ample seed grain of high quality grown in Ontario for Ontario farmers. Every Agricul­ tural Representative has a list of growers having seed grain for sale and farmers are advised to contact their Agrictulral Representative regarding this list. Speaking recently at several seed fairs, W. R. Reek, Deputy Minister of Agriculture for Ontario, has stressed rhe purchase of only registered seed of the best type to ensure the maxi­ mum harvest needed this fall if On­ tario is to keep pace with Britain’s war requirements for food. The Ontario Crop Improvement As­ sociation through seed fairs and other agencies has done much to stimulate the use of better seed in the province. Farmers are urged to discuss their seed requirements with members of the Association in their county or their Agricultural Representative. MINERALS NEEDED BY DAIRY COWS Ont.

X Skelton &. Son U West End Bridge—WALKERTON Minerals should be liberally fed to cows previous to calvitjg and through­ out the lactation period, says the Ont. Dept, of Agriculture, These minerals are essential for the proper develop­ ment of the unborn calf, to maintain the health and appetite of the cow, and to provide a reserve supply of minerals for milk production. Much of the mineral material re­ quired is provided through the liberal feeding of well-balanced rations. How­ ever, even with good feeding, short­ ages of certain minerals may occur such as calcium, phosphorus, iodine, and the mineral elements found in salt, sodium and chlorine. Here are some good mineral mix­ tures: (1) Equal parts of feeding bone meal, dt-sodium phosphate and iodized salt; (2) Equal parts of lime, di-sodium phosphate and iodized salt; (3) Equal parts of lime, feeding bone meal and iodized salt; (4) One-third of bone char or feed­ ing bone meal and two-thirds of iodiz­ ed salt. Do not use number three mixture if alfalfa or clover are being pastured or fed. Many feeders mix two pounds of feeding bone meal and one pound of salt with each 100 pounds of concen­ trates. This is a very satisfactory me* thod of supplying minerals. Commercial mineral mixtures should be fed as directed by the manufacturer. A. H.

The child begins to squirm . . and gradually works down and down to­ wards the street. The clothes work up. Mother manages to arrive about the time that a neat section of bare legs and underclothing are exposed,, and she rescues the child from the fa­ ther’s protective grasp. “Why can’t you carry the child pro­ perly?” That’s the question asked with regularity and nobody seems to know the answer to it. The child, m the other hand, is us­ ually not without some measure of protection. Just about the time that you have your pipe going with a mer­ ry blast, a chubby fist can be expected to tip the pipe, hot ashes and all, down your vest. Just as you go to step off the end of the curb to cross a street in the village, an exploring hand pulls your hat down over your eyes. Just as you are looking your soberest in church, with the child perched safely on your arm, a hand will come up from the back of your head and push, your Sunday greased hair down over your forehead . . . and what can you do about it. Mother smiles and says sweetly when you mention it, "Well, if you would learn to carry the child properly all that wouldn’t happen.” How do you carry a child properly?' PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS By Harry J. Boyle “HOLDING A BABY” There is one question that has long bothered me, and that is, “How do you hold a baby?” Or another way to express the question would be, "How can you hold a child in your arm and satisfy the women folks?” That may seem like a foolish question when you‘first hear it, but consider the problem for a little while. First of all, they bring you a bundle of white clothes and hand it to you. You blush, and sort of mooch your arms out, and with the bundle at arm’s length look for the opening to .see what it contains. Someone pulls the tucked blankets back and there star- ? mg up mto a strange, new world is a I red baby...........and you just stand] there and gape. | Folks start to laugh and you sortj of grin in a sheepish way. The baby I starts to cry arid you shove the bundle • into somebody else’s arms. Everybody laughs then, and they start to make fun of you for holding the baby in the wrong way. What is the’ right way?
