It is patriotic to buy War Savingi
Stamps because Canada must have
money for reconstruction.
But it is also profitable to buy War
Savings Stamps because you are in-
vesting in Government Bonds yielding
i over 41/2%.
You don't need to be a capitalist. You
can start with 25 cents. Buy a Thrift
Stamp for a quarter. When you have
sixteen of them, exchange them for a
War Savings Stamp, and you will have
laid the foundation of a solid invest -
anent with your odd savings.
You can add to this investment as often,
as you save $4.00, and in 1924 the :.:.
Government will pay $5.00 for every e
War Savings Stamp you buy iiow for"
$4.00 odd.
This is the biggest opportunity ever af-
forded to wage earners to become in-
vestors.
War Savings Stamps

ever this sign is

It is not the woman who is forever
chasing everyone in the house with a
broom or duster who makes the most
impression as. to the desirableness of
neatness and order. While she is
making a Martyr of herself in her
frantic attempts to always keep the
hearth tidy and the woodwork polish-
ed, and the carpets free from spot or
speck, she is often driving away the
better elements of the home—peace
and love and harmony. A child can-
not enjoy his playthings without a
place in which to play, nor u man
feel free in his own house if he must
be always remembering. that that not
so much as a magazine or book he
left one moment out of place when
not being read.

A huge market for Canadian farm
produce exist in Great Britain where
according to the Trade Commission,
our imports only amount to 1 ee per
cent of the eggs consumed: Va per
cent of the butter: and 21/4 per
cent of the beef.
That Canadian cheese may go to
Europe via United States ports, class-
ed as American produce unless our
awake is information in possession
of the Canadian Trade commission.
The tone of communications from
Great Britain is warmly in favor of
the preference granted to Empire
made goods, says the Canadian 'Trade
Coninision.
A far greater trade in Canadian
farm stuffs is done in our own cities
and towns than is done abroad.
This fact is mentioned by the Cana-
dian Trade Commission, not to mini-
mize exports but to show the un-
recognized importance of our home
markets.
In the year before the war Ger-
many sold goods valued at $835,-

FREIGHT RATES 1'fAY GO UI
A despatch from Ottawa says that
within a very short period the rail-
ways of Canada. can be expected to
make another application for an in-
crease in freight rates on the ground
that the present rates are insufficient
to enable them to pay increased
operating and maintenance costs be-
cause of tiie high and growing cost.
of materials and labor. in all pro-
bability an increase of twenty per
cent. will be asked for. During the
war two increases were granted, one
of fifteen per cent. anotherof twen-
ty-five per cent., and now a third
one of twenty per cent. This
would mean if granted, that the cost
of freight rates would be raised from
fourty-four per cent. above pre-war
rates to seventy-three per cent. a-
bove pre-war rates.
A meeting of the North Huron
Liberal Association was held in Wing
ham. Officers for the year were elec-
ted and delegates were appointed to
the Provincial Liberal Convention at
Toronto this month. W. H. Fraser,
M.P.P., for North Huron was the
chief speaker of the meeting. There
were few farmers present on account
of the rush of work and consequently
the meeting was not crowded. S.
Bricker of Fordwich president of the
association, was chairman.
Following are the officers elected:
President, Sheldon Bricked, Ford-
wich: lst vice pres., W. H. Fergus-
on, Belgrave; 2nd vice pres., T. Hill
Blyth: 3rd vice pres., M. Dalton,
Ashfield; secretary -treasurer, H. G.
Elliott, Wingham. Delegates to the
Provincial meeting are as follows:
H. B. Elliott, S. Bricker, Mrs. W. H.
Ferguson, Morris, and Mrs. Pople-
stone, Blyth.
No better services or more largely
attended were ever held here than
the ones on Sunday. Rev. Johns -
'ton of Parkhill delivered two able
discourses. The Woodha•rci oir
added much to the services with their
i
splendid singing. The weather was
all that could be desired. 'HW'tends
were present from Ilensall, Exeter,.

LAZY WORM
Two miners went on a fishing ex-
pedition. But they were novices at
the game.
"Hoo are ye getin' on, Jock?" ask-
ed one.
"Och, simply rotten'!" was the re-
ply, "I don't believe my bloomin'
worm's tryin'."—London Tit -Bits,
In a Niagara Falls, N. Y., theatre
the other evening there was a, clever
bit of repartee. Pictures ef. the
American troops in France were
being shown on the screen.
"Where
are the Canadians" someone shot-
ed out. Immediately there came in
a well modulated voice from a back
sea. "Holding back tbe Huns while
the Yanks were getting their picture
taken."
YOU CANNOT EXPECT TO
BTJY $250 FOR $50
You would hardly expect your best
friend to sell you $250 worth of
something for $50 much less a stran-
ger says a bulletin from the offices
of the Associated Advertising Clubs
of the World in New Yory City yet
there appear to be thousands of peo-
ple who believe that they can do just
such impossible things.
Some resent cases that have come
to the attention of the advertising
clubs which are working for truth-
ful advertising, illustrate tbe point.
A city phonograph dealer was ad-
vertising a "$250 size" phonograph
for $50. The advertisement and the
letters which he sent to those who
answered were so worded so as to
make an unsuspecting person believe
he was buying a phonograph from a
private holder, who might possibly
have paid $250 for it and was forced
to sell. as a matter of fact the ad-
vertiser _ was a dealer. The phono-
graph was probably worth the $50
which he asked, but the bulletin sug-
gests that the average householder
would be better contented to go to
a local store and buy a phonograph
l
inade by a manufacturerwlose re-
p
ettaton stands for quality behind the
instrument.
In another case a Buffalo man
advertises furs at what appeared to
be less than half price. Investigation
showed that while the advertise-
ments appeared over the name of the
man's wife, he was a fur dealer, and
until a bulletin from the advertising
clubs warned newspapers so that
they declined his advertisements, he
was doing a landot ice business.
It is always safer to buy from es-
tablished business concerns of known
reputation, says the bulletin and it is
not wise to expect some stranger in
some far -away city to sell things for
ntucli less than they are worth,

ANY times the failure of
securing a satisfactory win-
ter egg yield is due to neg-
lect or the pullets early in
the fall.' The ordinary pullets begin
laying at from six to seven months
of age, and many farmers get a few
pullet eggs in October and November,
followed by little or no production
in December or early January. This
frequently is due to a change in
roosting quarters or being over-
crowded and underfed in the poultry
house.
To get the best results the pullets
should be placed in winter quarters
by November 1st. Sometime in Aug-
ust or September the henhouse
should be thoroughly cleaned, the
walls, ceiling, etc., brushed down,
and all old cobwebs, etc., removed,
then give the house a good white-
washing, and if the floor is earth or
"She
Could Probably Go
seems a timid, flowerlike
sand at least four inches of it should
be renewed,
If at all possible, separate the pul-
lets from the old hens and cockerels.
In order to lay well, they should be
fed all they will eat, particularly of
ground grains and green foods, and
should not be overcrowded. About
twenty-five to thirty-five pullets is
plenty for a pen twelve feet square;
in fact, in many cases twenty -i the
pullets in the pen will lay almost as
many eggs as the thirty-five. Should
you be fortunate in having too many
pullets, or where you can make a
selection, get the earliest and best
matured ones into the pen first. 2f
you have to crowd or sell some get
rid of the small, weak ones and those
that are slow to develop.
The pen should be Iight and well
ventilated. Have all the ventilators
or openings on one side of the house
and close together. Do not have an
opening in one end of the house and
another in the other end. These eauSe
drafts, which are very apt to produce
colds and sickness. It usually takes
a pallet at least three weeks to get
over a cold, and she seldom Jays
while she has a cold. Keep the house
dry, and use plenty of dry straw in
which the birds can scratch fordthe
teed.
Remember a laying hen needs
