THE world is waiting anxiously for the
advance on the Somme. As the com-
batants are evidently gathering strength
for a "cleaning up day" something de-

Fr is to be hoped the withdrawal of
locomotives, usually hauling passenger
trains, and attaching them to freight
drawing will soon relieve the congestion
and remedy the shortages. This con-

fact that the European struggle is Can-

Pte. Will. Mayberry Writes His
Sister
DEAR ELsIE,-I guess you will be
thinking that something has happen-
ed to me but nothing like that yet.
\Veli you will see by the address that
I am in Sheffield and will be surprised
to hear it. That's the way I felt when
they told me that I could bare a 10
days' pass and believe we I was glad
to get away from the front. We were
on the Somme but I was never able to
tell you before on account of the cen-
sors, I can say what I like over here
sir I will tell you a little of what it was
like.
No doubt, you have heard that the
Sorume was the worst front that we
have to hold. Well it store is and you
have no idea what it is like. I have
lost a lot of my chums down there. I
guess you will have heard about. Leon-
ard Brock being killed. He was killed
on the morning of Nov. 18th in an at-
tack which I was in, Ben. Woodley
is missing. I expect is a prisoner in
Germany. I saw Leonard Brock the
night before he was killed and was
talking to him. He was line but seem-
ed to think that something was going
to happen him for he asked we if I
would write to his mother if anythiug
were to happen him. I told hien I
would for we were great chums.
It was a terrible day and I will act
forget it. How I got through was a
marvel. I'll tell you why. You see
they took 36 of us, stoker gunmen and
sent u9 as bombers for the attack.
They divided us into three parties,
and in our lot we bad 10 men, an of-
ficer, a sergeant and myself. Well
we started for the front line on the
night of the 17th and our first mis-
fortune happened when we were going
in 41,9 one of the bombs exploded and
killed two of our party and wounded
two so that left us with 9 men alto-
gether. We had to make our attack
at daybreak so the time came and we
got orders to get out of our trench and
go over to take the German trench,
We started and I sure thought that
none of ns would come back alive for
old Fritz turned his machine guns on
ue. He wounded the Sergeant and 2
or 3 of the men and killed the officer
but, never got me. I rolled back to
the trench as beat I could and out of
with one
the 36 that we werey 19 came
back. It was a hard blow on the bat-
tery but that is the way the war goes
on. What was left of us when we got
to his trenrb did good work for we
took 125 prisoner's besides those killed.
That wasn't too bad for 19 of us.
Well so much for that. I suppose
you will be having a fine time skating,
etc, I am cure having the time of my
life now. I was to the theatre last
night and had a good laugh. I also
enjoy the "good old feather beds" for
there is nothing like that in the
trenches. It certaiiily is much quiet-
er here than in France for there is not
a minute but what the big guns are
roaring, It wasn't so bad where we
were at first at Yypree but when they
took us to the Somme that settled us
for noise.
Well I guess I will close for this
time, From your loving brother,
WILL.

of their long and active service in the

the recipients which were of a reminis-
cent nature and were responded to by
the receivets of the gifts in terms of
gratitude. An address was also read
by Mrs. Ernest Geddes on behalf of

AGRICULTURAL INSTRUCTI N CARS
At Brussels, Monday Next, January 22nd
The Grand Trunk Railway
AND
The Ontario Department of Agriculture, including
The Agricultural College, Guelph
are co-operating in running demonstration cat's over the Grand Trunk linea in \Vesleen Ontario, The results follow-
ing similar methods of instruction in past yours and the appreciation shown by Ontario farmers, lead us to autiolpate
a very successful series of meetings, especially since plans have been made to hold evening meetings at most places,
when a leading feature will be
Moving Pictures
The work was begun January 8th and continues till Match lath, 57 places will be visited, a whole day being
spent at each point. The cru's will be open from 10 a, 10. until 530 p. m. Not only the farmers, but the women and
children will find much interest in the exhibits and the literature to be distributed. All should be deeeply interested
in the evening meeting in the Town Hall,
Equipment of Cars
Two comfortably -heated baggage curs are devoted to exhibits illustrating selection, testi lig and improvement of
seed, identification lend eradication of weeds, ctreillagesail moisture, growing of alfalfa, 50,11 and potatoes ; insect
pests, plant diseases, protection from lightning ; dairying, including milk testieg; poultry raising, feeding stuffs and
their cuulparative values at, present prices ; use of lime on soils ; vegetable growing, labor-saving devices for the
home, small models of sewage disposal and hater -supply ey.stelus, oto, Any person interested in agriculture or the
equipment of the farm home should not fail to visit this train. The exhibits illustrating the most up-to-date niethode
employed in all brandies of Ontario Agriculture will be of a most helpful and practical nature, while bulletins and
leaflets on agricultural topics will be distributed to inteteste,l visitor's.
School Children Invited
Trustees and teachers are requested ro allow pupils of the High School and the lager pupils of the Pubiic Schools
to visit the demonstration ear's at such time as may he arranged with the instructors 111 charge. All children are in-
vited to view the mcvit g pieltu'es to be shown at evening meeting. The car devnted to Weeds and Insects, Poultry
Raising, Gardening and Household Equipment and Oouveniencns'.vill be of great iutetest to the children and women.
All Should be interested
Competent demonstrators and lecturers in charge of the exhibits will be prepared to give insti notion to those in
attendance, and ready and willing to answer all questione asked. The instructora are drawn from the Ontario Agri-
cultural College, the lecturers to Boards of Agriculture, Staff of Dairy Instructors, and Specialists of the Provincial
and Dominion Departments of Agriculture.
Every Person Should be Interested and Obtain Information
of Value
The fact that agriculture is really the basic industry of the province is being forcibly impressed upon non-produc-
ere of foodstuffs, our legislators and business and financial men in this time of national crisis. The immediate neces-
sity of a larger food production -especially of heats. dairy products, poultry, eggs and vegetables -and the large
national debt that is being incurred on account of the war, calls for united effort on the part of all directly or indir-
ectly connected with agrirulLure to increase peoduction. This is made necessary on account of present need and to
insure against future disaster.
Not only the farmers and their families but townspeople should find much of value in the exhibits found on the
cars, the addresses delivered and the literature distributed. We hope to induce ;both the farmers and the towns-
people to produce more poultry, eggs and vegetables in 1917.
At the eveningmeeting address of general interest will be given and movingpictures illustrative of a •to -date
agriculture will bexhibitd. Views of the sanitary production omilk, desirable types of live stock, drainage
mach-
ines, spraying of feuit trees, etc., will also be shown.
Women's Institutes, Farmers' Olubs, Agricultural Societies, Boards of Agriculture, the schools, and all local or-
ganizations which are either directly or indirectly interested in farming, are asked to co-operate in making the visit
of the Better Farming Cars tate greatest success possible.
Do not forget to give the boys and girls an opportunity to take adv,ntago of the visit to the train, and if possible
to also attend the evening meeting. When visiting the coaches, ask questions, get literature, and take full advant-
age of the opportunity afforded for securing up-to-date information along agricultural and household equipment lines,
Everybody will be made Welcome to the Train and Lecture

OUR OPPRESSORS
This war has brought back into our
mouths the word Liberty, which has
not been utuoh woticed for ageneration
or two. We e ha e again become a-
fraid
fraid of the oppressor on the throne.
We feel, and may well do so, that
nothing worse could happen to us than
to cease to live under a Government
responsible to the people. Responsible
government has been our solution of
the question of national liberty. The
few must govern, for the many have
to attend to business ; but we hold the
fele responsible for i'esulte, and so con-
trol affairs ourselves. We have thus
far realized the great truththat
liberty is the mother of responsibility.
We recognize this partly, but not
enough. We have established eespon-
Bible government ; we must have re-
sponsible citizenship, too, if we lire to
be rid of our oppressors. The selfish,
the greedy, the slothful ; those who
would take more than their share arid
give less• these are our oppressors
now. We must make them feel their
responsibility if they are not to be
unbearable. The movement for uni-
versal national service is a great op-
portunity to make all citizens of this
country aware that in a free country
"tune of us liveth to himself."
As no one is free to evade his indi-
vidual responsibility when a national
service is found to be necessary, it
would have been right to assume its
universal adoption by making it law.
But itis better to make it a matter of
honor to take part in the effort. The
democratic method of dealing with the
unfit is to educate theta ; and here is
