JUST AS THE SUN WENT

.A fter the flim of the battle's roar,
Just at the close of day,
Wounded and bleeding upon the field,
Two dying soldiers lay.
One held a ringlet of thin grey halm*

Bidding each other a last farewr•1',
'.Just at the sun went down,
. , Chorus—
One thought of mother, at home alone,
11'eeble and old and grey;
tine of the sweetheart he had left in
town,
Happy and young and gay,
One kissed the ringlet of thin grey hair,
One kissed the lock of brown,
I3iddipg "Good•bye" to the dear old
.frog, .
Just as the sun went down.
Oae knew the joy of a mother's love,
Oneof a sweetheart fair;
'.Thinking of home, they lay side by side
13reathiug a fai?eweIl prayer;
One of his mother, so old and grey;
One for his love in town,
They closed their eyes to the earth and
ekioe,
Just as the sup went down.
Then catno the news from a comrade's
luta,
One rvno survived tbe hgbc;
Sweetheart, and mother are Iisteuing

Oh, most pitiful sight!
'1'wo hearts nigh broke, two noble lives

PRESERVE FIELD PRODUCTS
.1 he Empire's Cali it for Greater Pro-
duction
The fire waste of tine Province of
Ontario for the first three months of
1917as shown by repasts to the Fire
Marshal, amounts to $3,321,ii31, In
Will it amounted in round figures to
$12,0,00,000 and if the waste is not
stopped, the year 1917 threateus to be
as disastrous as its predecessor.
The unfortunate part of the who'e
matter is that the waste comes largely
from tbe destruction of field pruritic .e
in barna, elevators, and warehouses,
or In canning fautoriee, cereal mill.,,
mid other places where Bac raw pro.
duct is being turned into food for our
own needs and for the Armies of the
Aliiee,
It is equally true that many fires,
probably ono halt of them could be
avoided by a little caro and• thought,
11urely, as a people we should bo ready
and willing to take up this Empire
call and preserve what we produce.
By way of example reference is
made to barn fires. Last year in Ont-
ario aloneover 600 bairns were destroy.
ed involving a lose of more than oue
million dollars ($1,000,0001 of which six
hundred thousand dollars ($600,000)
was in produce, itnplemouts, and live
stook, If by a little care we can, save
one half this lose we should be doing
the equivalent of that much extra
production and who le there among us
who is not prepared to do his "bit" on
this line?
7.'hree.very simple suggestions are
thrown out which if adopted will go
a long way to accomplish the result; --
1. Install lightning rode on barns
and cavo fires from lightning, The
Department of Agriculture, Perlia:
wont Buildluge; Toronto, will furnish
anyone with a pamphlet -showing how
the rods should be made and erected.
It is an absolute fact that barns pro-
perly rodded and grounded aro not
liable to be struck by lightning.
'2, The crops should nob bo put fn
until it is certain that they have been
properly cured. Evidenbe is daily
accumulating that the heavy olover
crops of last year did not receive full
and proper care and resulted in the

been to keep the doors and windows
closed after harvest, and then admit
aIr by tbe opening of the doors, wins

dead to get in his work.
Surely if these' three simple eugges--
tions will accomplishany saving the
call of the Brooke's needs should be
incentive enough to give them a fair
trial,
Fire is always the enemy of the butt-
anrace, but in wartime, it is a traitor in
chop, a foe in the trenohee. Not only
is the waste of food by fire an unmiti-
gated calamity, but any fire waste 'e
just that much of a burden at a time'
when the last straw may break the
camel's back,

In the meantime river pirates have
captured Phillip and Juan and take
them to their roudezvous and a bloody
light follows, when Juan disposes of
the pirates by flinging them through
a manhole which opens into the river.
Next morning he goes to seek aid
along the waterfront and falls in with
"Shangai Brown."
Philip and Joan are shanghaied

Richman is knocked from the top deck

by a band of ship theiyes.
The only danger connected with the
filixiing of this scene was the fact that
the suction. of the boat might draw
his body beneath, and much consider-
ation was given to the overcoming of
this obstacle. The only way out of it
was tohaveMr. Richman thrown a

of about one-half¶nch, and the rows
should be nom twelve to fourteen
inches apart. Tho seed should be
Dlantcd•Very thinly so that there
will be no need for extra thinning at
the onions. Cultivation should cease
when the onion tops aro such a tette
as to prevent easy work. In the fall
when the top.t are about two-thirds
died clown the onions should be pull-
ed a.td )aid in windrows so arranged
that the bulbs are covered with the
tops of the onions. This prevents
any sunburn which causes consider-
