PERTINENT TO FARMERS.

Every hour seems to draw this country nearer to war;
No man us that we will escape for no man
knows
The year 1917 may see US shut off from all source of
supplies from the outer world and dependent entirely up
on local production
Facing such possibility, it is incumbent upon every
farmer to cultivate to the limit of his acreage and ability
and the town person who has vacant lot should do the
same.
The time to begin is NOW. If we place armies in
the field those armies must be fedand the products come
from the farms.

We know that the merchant seeking sale for his goods
can proftaby use newspaper space; know that the
candidate for office can use newspaper space proaby to
let the people know why he believes that he should be
elected and we want all purchasers Of space these COL

stead of buying to help us out

TO this they owe the great

Investigate is a big word with
very simple meaning. II means 10

That H.. be was in-Neati-gating the
outside OF II. lie WAS trying TO ind
out II there was any way into II or
any way TO let Paddy The Beaver
know that he was trying to make
him visit He had come all the
way from the dear old Brier Patch
on the Green Meadows TO Paddy's
lonesome pond deep in the Gren For
cst. and never once had thought
that probably he wouldn't be able 20
see Paddy at all. lie had forgotten
that of course Paddy wouldn't be
swimming around IN his pond for
the very good reason that the pond
was covered with ice IL hadn't en-
tered his head until he caught the
glimpse OF the ice-covercd pond and
Paddy's snow-coycred house. Then
how silly and foolish he had felt
But now that he was here Peter
meant TO make the most OF his
chance TO see plddy's house-the
outside OF il. anyway-close TO. II
Paddy was in that house there was
only the thickness ~ TIE wall be
tween them, and It did seem funny
be so near and yet not be able to
visit with him.
Perhaps there is doorway on
top somewhere" thought he hopeful
ly. and hoped around looking for a
place to climb up. But for a while
he was almost willing to give II up.
There didn't seem to be any way 10
get on top Of Paddy's house. You
gee the last thing before the coming
OF Jack Frost Paddy had plastered
his roof with mud. and this Jack
Frost had frozen until Il was as hard
as stone Paddy bad known that he
would 10 this. and that is why he
had waited until ne was sure ~

Knew that ne hHd rot 10 spend the

10 feel perfectly sure that no nn
could break into It if once they
