At this season we are particularly reminded of the debt we owe to those whose service and sacrifice make it possible for us to enjoy our Christmas midst the carefree happiness of children and fond parents those valiant men who patrol the skies, man the ships, stand bythe guns, and place their all — even unto life itself, between us and the enemy. How can we pay our debt to them? The least we can do is to Save every dollar that we can and lend it to Canada, so that Canada can provide everything in munitions and equipment to fortify these men for the defence of our country and our civilization. Our savings should be invested in War Savings Certificates, and we should continue to save and invest in War Savings Certificates until Victory is won. The widow's mite counts as much as the more fortunate ones' plenty, as evidence of service, sacrifice and determination. So then, whatever else you do at this Christmas season, save and invest in War Savings Certificates. The very consciousness of your service in the Defence of your homeland will make greater your personal enjoyment of Christmas. W. N. Sem.rviil. and da Ga.p8 $.oubi.n, Joint Notional Chairman, WarSudngs Commits.., Ottawa asked the township of Bast Wawa - nosh for $18,000 and the next year asked for another $7,000 to continue the line from Blyth to Wingham. The road came into operation in 1876 and the money had been levied through taxation. ,R. Redmond, Reeve of East Wa- wanosh, suggested that when the C. N .R. took over the Grand Trunk that they might have scrapped any agreement that had been made. This would have to be found out. The most affected; places If the line were closed woud be Londesboro and Be!. grove. The closing of the line would leave them without any raiway fac- ilities. On their behalf C. R. Coultas and C. H. Wade suggested that the urban munictpaitiew interested should put forth more effort to pa- tronize the railway line. Too much freight was being shipped by truck and it was felt that if some of this business was directed to the railway It would serve as a very strong point In keeping the line In opera- tion, Reeve R. S. Hetherington ot Wiuglrarn put fortis the suggestion that if the government was endeav, oriug to clean up on dead ends ilial they go the limit and cut out all I lines that were not paying. On, the other hand he said that the govern -I nren.t was criticized for maiatalaing the rallyay at a large deficit and when they endeavored to do some- thing about it there immediately arose a protest. Sees Big Future Need Ile suggested that If the war don - tinned Canada might experience a large growth in potaliation and in this event Ave would need our roll- t ways. A. very interesting feet was brought out by Mr, R, J. Coulter, a former Reeve of Bast Wawanosh when he suggested that another year might nee 40 cent gas. ThIs would throw the advantage which has been enjoyed by truckers and transports the other way so that the time might come when St would be much more profitable to ship by rail. The question as to how Londesboro and Belgrave would be served should the railway cease operation also came up for discussion. After a lengthy discussion a motion was put by.Mr. C. R. Coulter and seconded by Mr. J. Armstrong, of Londesboro, that this meeting go on record as putting forth every effort to bare the rail- way line from Clinton to Winghaut continued in operation, the motion carried unanimously. Following this a committee com- posed of two representatives from each municipality was appointed to carry on the work on behalf of the nrunlolpalities the committee is as follows: W. H. Morritt and A. Tax- lor, Blyth; J. Armstrong and Jamey Leiper, Hullett; C. R, Coulter and C. H. Wade, Belgrave; Mayor J. H. Crawfodd and Mr. F. Houston,, Wing - ham; B, Falconer and Mayor -elect A.

In this way It Ives felt a stronger representation could be made. Present at the meeting was L, L, Cardiff, M,I'. tor North Itin-all, In, Ms remarks he stressed the point that the government was giving patrons of the linen chance to In cer'ase their patronage, If this was' not done he doubted' if the chance would cornu again. Soy Bean b Good Food For Stock Acreage Grown In Canada increasing, Says Department of Agriculture Recent increases in the soybean acreage In Canada hag resulted from, the large number of small patches grown bp Individual farm- ers for home conseneption. In most oases the crop is grown to matur- ity with, the intention of feeding the beans to livestock. 30 - 40 Percent Protein Soybean seed normally contains from 30 to 40 per cent of Protat-L and compares favourably in feeding value with other concentrated Leeds, such as linseed' and cotton seed o11 metal, states the Division of Forage Pleats Domiinon Experlmeatal Farms Service. The growing of soy- bean seed tor feed will produce, at a moderate cost, the high protein concentrate necessary for stock feeding and milk production. The amount of soybeans included in the grain ration of dairy cows is usual- ly around 15 per cent, but this will vary somewhat according to the 'kind of hay that is being fed. The beans should he nixed with the other grain previous to grinding, as the high oil content of soybeans makes then difficult to grind alone.
