We had hoped that long ere this we

struggle, but we seem to have before us
another year of fighting and working.
We would ask for all our worker e to res

the men overeeas are doing their duty,
therefore it is important that we do ours.

COAL REMAINS. $10
Consumer* Restricted to 70 per cent
of Last Season's Supply.
While there has been a reduction of
thirty cents a ton on coal in -the United
States, the summer price of stove, egg and
nut COW hi, %agleam will remain the
same as in the winter: $0.75 and $10 per
ton. TM reason for the price remaining
fixed, according to Mr. J. A. McLean, is
that freight rates have been increaeed
both in Canada and the United. Statee.
On Thursday, he states, the Awerkan
lines increased the rate on coal from "the
mines to the Suspension Bridge by fifteen
cents a ton, while in Canada an extra
fifteen cents Ms been charged since March
20 last. These two increases nulfify the
reduction at the mines for the summer
months
Lnder the new fuel regulations people
who require more than six tons of coal are
restricted to seventy per cent. of . their
normal supply until such times as the reg-
ulation is rescinded by the Fuel_ Controll-
er This means that a person who ordin-
arily burns ten tons of coal during the
winter may only purchase seven at the
present time. Persons t'ting 20 tons. may
only stock up fourteen tons, and if the
regulatams maintain throughout the year
there may be many trying to secure the
balance of a normal supply at the end of
next wintea.' Dealers are advising their
regular -custopters to secure the seventy
per cent, they may purchase as -soon as
possible. Those who use only six tons or
less,may pat in their normal supply of
fuel.
Wingham -is tweeted in having excellent
men in the coal business, while other
towns nearby are paying $11.00 for a
_cheap coal, we are getting Al coal at the
same nt3 Toronto dealers are selling for.

CONSERVE OR DIVIDE
To the Editor;
Sir.
Will you kindly permit me space for a
foe w. ate re the food situation and more
particulady the sugar scarcity. Whether
we believe it or not the situation is serious
Mr. Musgrove in his address the other
evening proved that he had grasped con-
ditions more clearly than most men. The
problem of scarcity wants drastic hand,
ling and will not be settled so long as
inerehandizing conditions remain as they
ate.
All over the country Production and
Conservation committees are being form-
ed, and rightly so, but what about present
supplies. Strike out the word conserv-
ed° , and substitute the word divide, and
I believe we will come Much nearer our
true goal.
Our friends in the Old Land are standing
in the bread line waiting for enough to eat
that their men in the trenches may be
fed. ,Our alliee to the south are doling
out sugar in email quantities while many
ia Canada are thinking of summer sup,'
rfiete
The Rev, Mr, Armstrong in his masterly
speech at the above mentioned meeting
told it how much' sugar we would save
by tailing so rouch less per day A much
better way would be to have sugar divid-
ed more equally. Let our patriotism be
real and if it be so there will be no hoard-
ing The working man's wife is hard . put
to -day to get, anything else but immedi-
ate necessities. While the dollar has
shrunk considerably for all of its, some
are harder bit than others. Let us there-
fore divide up those things that are
ecarce and give everyone a chance.
Major Gordon in an address the other
day asked his hearers "if necessary to live
on two meals per day," Ruskin likened
war to a °great game."—So is our patriot-
ism.—Let us, play the game.

A Blind Pig
J. E. Stone, license inspector for South

received one of the surprises of hie life.
Ading on some hint he and a couple of
, detectives blew into Mr, Meloche's place„
knocked at the door And Walked in, telling
- the surprised man that they understood
he was running a blind pig. Mr. Meloche
pleaded guilty to having one but not run- •
ning it, and, leading the officials out the
back door, he escorted them to the barn
where he called the pigs up and readily
Pointed out the animal which was as
blind as a bat. There being no evidence .
of any wrongdoing in this respect the in-
spector and detectives gave him a clear ,
bill and departed.

OWE US MORE SALT
Mr 'Editor
Dear Sir:
"If the ealt has lost its savour, where-
withall shall it be salted?"
Salt is'es essential to life as water hi a
fish, and such being thecase, were we de-
pending upon the tender mercies of the
Wiliiatn Davies Co why then would . we
die the plague stricken sheep.?
Jut fancy, we have right in our midst
one of the finest salt wells in the world,
and an up-to-date salt block is humming
away day and night continually, but yet
the company running the same, absolutely
refnees to sell a polled to any one in this
district, from whence all this blessing
Rowe. -Their good salt and their dirty
ealt is all shipped away, they want all, all
all, and then would look for more. At
one time the farmers could get cheap salt
for cattle at one half cent per pound, but
now they can neither get cheap salt for
their -cattle nor good salt for their butter,
and now farmers . from the country and
merchants in the town are just as far
from salt as though it Were a hundred
miles away.
But sir, we have in -Wingham some
splendid men, who have. the money to
.
spend and the brains to --plan, let.. them
shoulder mins; present fire, by forming a
joint stock company, and then either buy
or lease from Mr. John -Elliott an acre of
land immediately south of the present
well, and then • build an up-to-date
blockajust west of the C. P, R. track
opposite the present William Davies
Plant
We have been told . that upon Mr.
Elliott's farm there is an inexhaustible sup-
ply of the purest brine, all that is needed
to convert it into salt is a little capitol,
energy and puela
In our opinion, Mr Editor, we think an
industry of this kind is of almost as much
importance as tilling the soil, other wells
near Winglaun have run dry -but here
there is -enough and to spare, Will we let
this precious treasure be dormant a few
feet in the earth itt one great rock-bottcm
mass.' Or will we bring it -to the. surface
by • sinking the well and building the
plant? .
Respectfully yours
Unate Josh.

Mr. Editor.
Dear Sir—Will you kindly pablinh
the 'Star Spangled. Banner' so we who
do not know the Words, and there are
a good many who do not, I'll admit
many learn them.
Oh! say, cau you Set, by the dawn's
early light,
What so proudly wo hailed at the twi-
light's last gleaming,
Whot:e broad stripes and bright stare
through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were
tio gallantly streaming?
And the rocketa; red glare, the bombs
bureting in air,
Gave proof through the night that
one flag was still there.
Oh, say, does that Star Spangled Ban-
ner yet wave
O'er the land of the free, and the
home of the brave.
On tho shore, dimly seen through the
mists of the deep
Whoro the foe's haughtly host in
dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze O'er
the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals,
half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morn-
ing's first beam
in full ,glory reflected, now alines on
the streaaml
"Tis the Star-Spangled Banner; oh,
long may it wave
'O'er the land of the free, and the
home of the brave.
Oh, thus be it ever when free -men
shall stand
Between' their hived home and wild
es. a r 'o deerri a don ;
Blest with victory end peace, may the
heavin reseued land
