The object of the H c Service Blu

States and Canada; the statesmen,
travellers and expert machine men;

as possible, is to be made an apostle
Of better farming.
For years the International Har-
vester Company has realized the i'm

lions of dollars in the perfection of la
bor-saving machines, and now the
company is going in for direct service

the farmers children, that the men
and women of tomorrow may be more
capable and SO more prosperous than
the men and women of today.

battle cry Of peace and plenty. But
raising more is the result Of mind,
not muscle. We must know. And
not only that, we must know we

must know good seed from bad, right
cultivation from wrong, and the why's

PRINCE LOUIS IS NAMED
HIS SUCCESSOR.

LONDON. Dec. 15.--Friction be-
tween Winston Churchill, the youna
first lord Of the admiralty and his sea
lords is now known to have been the
cause of the resignation of the first
sea lord, Vice Admiral Sir Francis
c. Bridgeman- Bird geman, whom
Prince Louis, Of Battenberg, succeeds.
and IL Is rumored tonight in high
government circles that other resig-
nations will follow.
Pressed by Lord Charles Beresford,
In the house OF commons. Mr.. Church
III declared that the first lords res-
and was handed in at Mr.. Churchiii's
request.
Asked II this was the true explana-
ton of his retirmenJ the vice admiral
said:
My reply Is In the negative"
The situation has reached the point
where the liberal leaders express fear
that the efficiency of the navy may be
dem oralized. Sir Winston and his sea
lords are plainly at odds. and those
who are familiar with the tempera-
ment of Mr.. Churchill say he will de-
term!nedly fight for the control of
the navy, which his predecessors held
only nomina1ly. There is strong OPP
position to Prince Louis as the high
est officer In the navy, 1t being al
legged that his royal connection. and
not his professional ability won him
the place.
