Aged Bachelors to Do Piret
between Those bachelors bweer the ages of 35
and 43, who imagined that us young
married gents would be colonels by the
time they got over to the fight, will be
startled to read in the 'daily press that
class three, which means them, is ta be
called up before class two, which is us.
Those old fellows have been enjoying
bliss just a little too long, and it now
looks as if they are soon due 14 have
bullets, instead of confetti, thrown at
them. If they are as successful in
dodging :the Kaiser's henchmen ;is they
were Cupid's darts they will come home
again, all right, all right, otherwise they
will be helping poppies grow in Flanders.

KIDNEYS 11
THE HEN NUISANCE
'The great business of Canadians for the
next few months will be the production of
food for the AIlies.
Our government has just passed a law
that everybody, including the old man,
must work.
In \Vingham every available foot of
ground should have some food stuff grow-
ing in it.
Now then if we are to have good
gardens, how about the neighbor's hens?
A dozen hens can do more damage in
the garden than can be remedied in some
weeks' time when they scratch out roots
and young plants.
Why should a man's hens be allowed to
destroy the neighbor's garden anyway?
Your neighbor and all the members of his
family are forbidden such privileges,
Why give free running privileges to the
liens?
If hens are kept for productive purposes
the place for them is upon the property of
the owners.
The hen -at -large is a public nuisance,
as many persons in the town can testify,
SOLUIERs OF 1 HE SOIL
Nigh School pupils who intend to work
on the farm and do their bit to increase
production wrote on examinations last
week. The girls are not permitted to go
as farmers and areperhaps a little envious
of their finale friends, A few girls have
toms, ,ed the following:
Am I a Soldier of the soil ,
A follower of the plough,
And shall I fear to hitch a horse
Or shrink to milk a cow?
Shall 1 be carried to the mow
1311 thistly Ioads of hay
Mile others strive With pen and ink
Examination day?
Are there ito beets for me to hoe
Shall I not use the rake?
Shall I not defeat the foe
And fight for freedom's sake?
Sine I mut weir if I would eat
It.I countiJ Iii icr thee
I'll bear th:: toil, endure the pain
For the sake of liberty,
(Chorus.)
At the farm, at the. farm,
Where I first saVO' a cotta
And the burden of rorty books rolled away,
M ADVANCE
n pen Letter
To the Mayor and Councillors of Wingharn
&. ave your citizens organized to increase food production?
If they have not yet done so, We, the Organization of Resources. Committee,
earnestly ask you to callthem together in a Mass Meeting, and lay before them the
necessity of immediate and vigorous efforts—the food situation is critical.
It may astonish you to learn that in 1917.Ontario did not grow enough wheat
for its own needs. Consequently every Ontario farmer whose land is suitable, has
been urged to sow 5 acres more spring wheat this year so that Ontario's demand for
wheat shall not be met at the expense of that portion of the Western crop that should
more rightfully be shipped overseas.
For . this same reason every householder who has a garden or a_ piece of
vacant land is being urged to grow vegetables, because the more vegetables that are
grown and eaten in Ontario the less wheat and meat there will be consumed, and, that
being so, the Ontario wheat crop should then be sufficient to feed our own people,
and leave more Western wheat and other foods available for export.
By intelligent effort, in the cultivation of his own back garden, or from the
cultivation of a nearby piece of land, the average citizen can grow, this summer,
enough vegetables to support his family through the next winter. And remember,
if food restrictions are enforced next winter, supply of vegetables in the cellar
will be very desirable.
If you already have an unofficial or semi-official organization to stimulate food
production, so much the better. That will give you the basis for a comprehensive
committee.
A plan that has been adopted in many places is here outlined. You should
adapt it to the needs of your own commun
1. A General Committee should be
formed, representing every impor-
tant interest of the community.
.
" The. work should be done by sub-
committees. The following list is
sufficiently comprehensive for the"
largest places. You should adapt it
to your own community.
(a) A sub -committee on Finance. The
Organization of Resources Com-
mittee is willing to help local
branches financially with publicity,
public meetings and organization.
(b) A Publicity Committee to place local
problems properly before the people,
supplementing the larger work of
the province -wide publicity, by,
securing pledges, sending out circu-
lar letters, arranging for addresses
in churches, schools, motion -picture
houses, etc., and by supplying local
papers with news items.
(c) A sub -committee on Vacant Lot and
Back -Yard Gardening fo include re-
presentatives from horticultural so -
cities, school teachers, etc. -
(d) A sub -committee on Farm Labour,
composed of employers of labour,
representatives of organized labour,
war veterans, etc. Labour is the key
to the food production problem. All
boy, girl, part-time and vacation
labour should be enlisted. Make sure
that sufficient labour is ready to meet
any demands made by your farming
community. This labour should be
placed on farms locally through the
Agricultural Representatives or the
Government Employment Bureaux.
(e) A Farm Lands sub -committee, com-
posed of groups of men to cultivate
larger tracts of vacant land in the
vicinity of cities, towns and villages.
Flax growing is profitable and suit-
able ---flax seed and fibre are much
needed.
,(f) ' A sub -committee on Schools, to en-
list all school -children of sufficient
age to work either in home gardens,
community gardens, school gardens,
or on farms. •
(g) A sub -committee of women on. Con-
servation to deal with the problems
of food -saving in the homes; the
more broadly representative it is of
women's activities the better. Exist-
ing women's. organizations - should
not be interfered with, but since con-
servation is one of the greatest prob-
lems, there should be " a women's
committee in each community to
deal with this problem alone. •
3. An Executive Committee should be
appointed, to include the chairman
of the general committee and the
chairmen of the sub -committees.
This committee should meet fre-
quently. 40
4. A Secretary to the committee should
be chosen, for his knowledge of the
situation, who would be free to de-
vote considerable time to the work.
Lack of food threatens the battle -line and we must deal
with the situation.
TO THE INDIVIDUAL CITIZEN
If you have not yet decided to plant a vegetable garden make up your mind to
do so now. You will not regret it. There is still lots of time. Potatoes and beans may
be planted up to June lst and these are the best substitutes for wheat and meat.
For good, practical advice upon . how to lay out and cultivate a Vegetable
Garden, write for a free copy of the booklet entitled: "A Vegetable Garden for
Every Home." This has been prepared by the Ontario Department of Agriculture for -
the guidance of citizens who will respond to this call for increased production,
