Appeal for Increased Production.
The appeal of the Organi-
zation of Resources Committee,

of this issue, deserves the careful
and oatmeal tt teatime of every roan
and woman in Ontario. The world

not too lunch to say that uterk famine

face during the latter half of 1917 and
the following year,
The war lute taken many millions of
lust off the land and millions uf acres
out of production, Europe 18 produce
lug only a fraction of what it did iu
peace -Unice', and on top of this has
come a series of comparative crop fail-
uiee in a number of exporting conn-

anything like a general hart act failure

probably condemn a considerable
portion of the human race to etarva-

Every Canadian man and woman
and boy and girl can help to meet this
eituatrion, ean•belp avert the threaten•
eddfood famine.. Those who dwell on
the land can drive themselves and
their machinery and what help they
can get to the utmost in the next few
weeks in getting a maximum amount
of land under crop, People in cities
and towns can mein by giving all the
help they can to the farmers in their
vicinity and by raising all the vege-
tablee they can on vacant lands and
jn backyard°. The whole population
can give invaluable assistance by
exercising providence and economy in
the use of food. The avoidanco of ex-
travagance in consumpion is a)rnost as

Partners have the incentive of
patriotism, humanity and high profits
to stimulate them in the grand effort
.to make two bushele of food grow dur-
ing 1917 where only one grew before.
The Allied armies and people have to
be fed. The human race has to be
caved from starvation. In ec=operat-

'Ammer Wigheinite Writes Cheerfully.—
Peahen Y M.0 A, Work
Mr, Thee. Pelle has kfudly 1(4ted ne
the following totter for publication.
France, March 27ch.
Dear i11.r. and Mee. and children:
Your very welcoure line iutereeting
letter ofFeb, 13th to hand Inst Wed.,
March %let, it was delivered to the in
toy trench "palace", commonly known
a') the dugout, but I can assure you
they ate not uncomfortable places at
al', ,fur we have nice comfortable
bunks in thew auelt as they have in
the lumber camps, only we use wire
netting for "a mattrore lnotead uf
bough°, then we have a vacant place
for table when we eat our meals and
play canis in our turn off' fluty, and do
neceesery work, Fueh as cleaning oar
gene, etc. Wo also have a place
made which answers fora fire plane,
but of course Can only have lire at
eight unless we are lucky enough to
get hold of some coke, but that is it,
sued to us every second day so if we
are careful we always have •a little to
keep the place fairly comfortable, I
assure you that a good many people
iu Canada are living in far worse
n1 ices than our dugouts, Well
Meads, I was more than pleased to
hear from you and know that yevu
were all quite well, I would like to
have answered it right away, but we
were too busy to while in the trenc4ee,
sometimes we have lots of time to
write while up there, in fact have been
glad to write letter's to pass away the
time, but cauuot expect' to have those
Unto always.
You say you had part of nay last
letter put in the paper; Well am.
afraid it was a very poor letter to put
in the paper, but I hope what I did
say would eonvinee its readers that
we are far from being etarved over
here as as untie fellows have tried to
make out, It's simply au infainous
lie to say that they don't get enough
to eat, If one unit were getting pocr-
ly fed we should all be, for I ' know
quite well that all unite are fed alike,
I have been on the and of work for
some time where rations are drawn
for all unite, and can vouch'that there
is no distinction in regards to issuing
rations from one unit to another, being
iu that work for over 4,)noutbe. I
should know what I am talklug about
add you can be well certain that I am
speaking the truth, Now 1 will tell
you without any exaggeration ' tre
food that I have been getting daily
since I canis out hero early last Octob-
er, during that time I have only had
corned beef twice for my dinner and 1
think I can truthfully say that I have
not been without bacon more than
half' a dozen times for my breakfast, if
I had kept record I don't think it
would reaab the half dozen. Now you
know the price of bacon, and you also
know that iu these days it ie'a luxury
even to the rich. 1 doubt if• many of
the working c)assee in Canada are
eating breakfast bacon thee° mornings.
our daily ration° consist of the follow-
ing: 1 loaf of bread between two men,
Iet me state here to be correct that
sometimes we've had to make one loaf
do for three men, but not often, then
we get a piece of cheese each day,
most times more than we want, 1 lb.
tin of jain between 4 men sometimes
raspberry, strawberry, plum or peach;
if we don't get jam we get either fig°,
dates, prunes or some other dried fruit,
,About every 4th day, butter is issued
to us which lasts tie until the 4th day,
comes again. Then there is pork and
beaus, tinned of course, 1 tin is eap
posed to be ration for 2 men, but it
is more often we have got 1 tin per
man and these beans aro either Clarke'e
of 14lontreal or Simeoe and sometime
the Dominion Canner of of Hamilton,
we do not got thee° every day, as they
appear to be an extra issue, but it is
very rare we are without them, then
of course they cook us the fresh meat
and vegetableo, which conbiste mostly
of fresh beef, "of course storage".
Quite frequently we get mutton for a
change, then there are potatoes some-
times carrots or turnips, and when
there is stew get rice and currants
or plume ao a rule for dinner. We
get steak or pot roast one day and etew
Rev. Mr. Graham of Whiteelilirch, and
Rev. Mr. Little exchanged :pulpits on
Sunday.
The Misses Rush of Wingham, spent
Sunday with Mrs •B. Naylor.
A number from areund here attended
the funeral of the late Mrs, Mathew
Lockhart of Auburn, on Sunday after-
noon. ,
Sorry to say Mr. Jolie. Koran, jr., is
'under the doctor's care. 1 -Iia many
friends hope to soon see him able to be
out again,
Mr. and Mrs. teddy of St. Augustine,
spent a day last week with Mrs, W. J
Duran. ,
the next, and on tiunday there is aft'co
iesue of tobacco and cigarettes;. one
day, but only once, we got fresh boast
porir, uow if anyone Cart grumble at
these rations, I would like to know
what kind of roam he is. I have lived
as good as tuostmen in Canada, and
I can truthfully say that eine° 1 cave
nut here I have not been hungry'after
any meal, nor have 1 had to buy one
penny's worth of food, my people at
Chet used to send rue two and three
parcels of food each week at least, 1
asked then to as I thought 1 should
need it, but 1 soon eaw that the Army
ration was ample for mo and. I believe
I was getting better food than my
people could be getting at home, t u 1
stopped them sending me food, and
have had no parcels sent are since
Xmas, for it was only a waste of good
food to send it out here to me. The
only thing I can say of these fellows
that wrote to the paper saying they
were half starved, is, that they were
never fed better in their lives, as a rule
you know it in those fellows that aro
the biggest kickere. If what I have
Said about our food will help convince
the people around them, that we are
living far better than they are, you
eau put this in Tint Ani* ti cE, for I
dont think that it is fair to the Canad-
ian or British Government, who are
doing their utmost to make things as
pleaeant and easy for us as they pos-
sibly can, to have euch things publish-
ed in the papers. We knew this was
no•picnic we were coming out here to,
and we also knew that the army was
no nursery, but there is nothing out
here a roan cannot stand, eometinles
We a little hard, but after that, is over,
we Can turn around smiling and say,
"well it was not so bad after all."
The mud out here is the biggest
curse to us, but even that causes many
jokes end laughs, especially when one
gete mired, and we have to pull him
out, that causes endless fun especially
when we get back for a rest. I might
say that when we are in the trenches
we get a little the best of the rations,
for while there the best is sent up to'
us. Our bacon and steaks are sent up
raw and we can cook them to suit our.
selves. Of course one doesg et hun-
gry in the lines, but there is always
lots of corned beef and biscuits around
which is good wholesome food when
hungry.
I would lige to mention one little
instance that happened to one of i.uy
letters out here just to show you how
careful the Government is in going to
the trouble to see that each of us get
our mail, a letter was posted to me in
England on the 15th of October last it
had my right cumber on, but was ad-
dressed to a unit that never 'was in
Frauce as a body, that letter reached
me on the 14th of March in the beat of
condition, just five months but one
day from the time it was posted. I

During the filming of the fifth epi-

Louis Joseph Vance, "The Secret
Kingdom," entitled "Carriage Gall

beside the director and cameraman in
one of New York's busy streets wait-
ing for her scene,
Some children who were standing
nearby were enjoying a heated discus.
sion as to who Miss Kelly might be,
for she was made up as an old wom-

plete would be putting it mildly, for
her powdered hair watt brushed back
tight and topped by a little black bon,

black coat was trimmed with jut,

turned around and told the kiddies
who she was, much to their delight,
but one little girl did not evidently
believe her. for elle oriel, "No; you

for I always go when she is at our
moving pictures, don't I%" to her little
friend. "She's young and pretty-,
not an old lady."
The tribute was too mueh for the
little star and she deliberately took
off her make-up, proved her identity

added a century to her years.

Charles Richman, the hero of Vita -
graph's serial by Louis Joseph Vance,
"The Secret Kingdom," performs a
very clever stunt in the fifth episode,
entitled "Carriage Cell No.101,"
Mr, Richman is overtakeu by the
foreign spies who are after the eealed
packet containing his proof to the
throne of Mania. Coming to his
senses, he finds himself tied hands and
feet on his bed in the hotel. He real-
izes that the spies are seeking bis
sweetheart and the thought makes
him desperate. With great difficulty
he frees one hand and reaching for a
shoe on the fl for he fire at the tele.
phone on a nearby table knocking the
receiver from its hook.
The continuous ringing, of course,
attracts the operator'e attention, and
through this ingenuous stunt he ix
freed and permitted to follow the vil-
li.ans who are after the girl.

Crop reports indicate what may
amount to a desperate shortage in food

food that will keep; food of minium

An acre of beans, yielding 28 bushels
