"Big Alec and the Portage of Deatli" is a Fludson Bay story by R. J. Fraser of pathetic interest, concerning a. veritable 'port- age of death' which was negotlated by an unfortunate. band 01 Indians, the victims 01 a faetor's cruelty. "Martin and the Mortgage" is' anoth-, er of H. O. Haddon's stories and has to do with the captt.re of a den of black. fox puppies. "Ilow Saunders caught the Came Tice" is a story, of deer hunting by camera vs.- deer hunting by gun, written and illus- trated byi F. 1i'. Williams. 'there are other stories that make a like appeal to the roadees of e sport'sman's snag- aTine as well ns the usual s;.o:ial de- partments devoted to gums and am- munition, fishing, etc W. J.

A Hearty Response The Government has authorized the raising of one hundred thousand more Canadian troops for overseas service, bringing the total Canadian force up to no less than two hundred and fifty thousand men. Already there has been recruited, authorized or offered enough battalions to bring the Can- adian army up to well over two hun- dred thousand Wren so that the pat- riotic appeal of the Government is be- ing loyally and rapidly responded to by the people of Canada. Under arms at the present time there are 174,000 men of whom over one hundred and one thousand are now in Prance and England, while the remainder are training in Canada or on home guard duty. In It To a Finish' This annoisncement of the Govern- ment shows that the Cabinet has a full realization of the present situation in Europe and is determined, with the backing of a patriotic people, to see the war through to the finish no mat- ter what the sacrifice. Prom the first' the Government has shown the utmost energy in the prosecution of the war from the standpoint of Canada. The opening of hostilities found Canada unprepared for war. Canadians were a pacific people, with few -trained troops, no standing army, little equip. first con- tingent despatch of the meet. The p in the space of six weeks' time is recognized as a remarkable military achievement. Since then over one hundred andfifty r fiY tlnousa nd more men have been enlisted uniformed and t the service against active g trained for a se v the best armies of militant Europe. The equipment of the troops is in. the hands of the War Purchasing Commission, an independent body, headed by Hon. A. E. Kemp as chair- man. This commission is uniforming and equipping the troops, better than any European troops, are outfitted as rapidly as they are recruited. Sir Robert's Words Speaking in Toronto last December Sir Robert Borden said that he would prefer not to name the number of men. Canada would send, to the front. That is still the position of the Premier and his Cabinet. No matter what the sacrifice in money or men they are prepared to stand by the Empire in the fight for liberty and freedom. The stirring words of the Premier in closing a speech last session of Parliament are well worth repeating at the present juncture: •o�+I' duly, all are agreed; we ®wan konlder ib shoulder with Brit- a n QC„� tl m n on✓t To The Farmer Dear Sie,-\Te arc paying 90 to 92c and son10 95c bushel for best wheat.
