ECONOMIC WASTE.
The only road to REAL economy is the road that leads to the Home Town. This is the FIRST COM-
MANDMENT in community development. Whenever we pass up our awn community and send an' order away
from home we break this commandment by one stroke of the pen. Give your home dealer the CHANCE to fill
that order. Given the -same conditions, HE can beat any out-of-town house in the country. The Long Distance
route is the road to waste, over -buying and false economy. This cartoon shows vividly the ECONOMIC WASTE

A despatch from London says: -
It is announced that the plant breed-

Cambridge, which is closely associat-
ed with the Board of Agriculture, has
succeeded in producing two new var-
ieties of wheat, styled Fenman and
Yeoman.
These were distributed to farmers
• and it is reported that the result has
been to treble the average yield. One
crop produced 90 bushels per acre.

MINE -SWEEPING GOES ON.
Perils of Deep Did Not Stop When
ArmisticeG me.
a
Despite the fact that active opera-
tions against the enemy ceased six
months ago, there are still grave perils
to be faced by those who go down to
the sea in ships, apart from storms and
tempests and suchlike dangers that
ordinarily beset the life of the saa.lor,
says a London paper.
The work of sweeping the high
seas free of mines -"tin eggs," as
•Jack calls them -is one of the most
formidable tasks that confront our
navy to -day. and although some
scores of mines are recovered or other-
wise disposed of in the course of every
week, it is certain that many months
must elapse before the work is finally
completed.
Needless to say, the bulk of the
work fails on the grey, blunt -bowed
minesweeping trawlers, ships that
have played by no means the small-
est part in the war for humanity. In
addition, there are now employed
many of the M.L: s, those sturdy little
ships of war whose work in a vastly
different sphere of operation is, of
course, well known.
These tiny craft -veritable battle-
ships in miniature -navigated and
manned entirely by officers and men
of the R.N.V.R., play the part of "spot-
ters," or "eyes." for the minesweep-
ing craft. 13y reason of their shallow
draught they are able to approach the
danger zone with less risk than can
the bigger craft.
