Joined with the Afffes, the sentiment
OF the past has merged into rnafrAr-
sonal interest of the. present. The duty
of the loyal and patriotic citizen. Is to
bend every effort to bring the great
Worlds War to Q, satisfactory cenclu-
sion. to assist in ali ways the forces
that have been fighting at tremendous
odds: the giant power of autocracy.
Victory is now assured; the uniopspf
the great fighting force Of the United
States navy, Its military. its financial
co-operation, Its full and complete SYM
pathy, will eventually bring about a
peace that will be solid and lastfag.
Canada,.just across the border ,.liae,
that has. no mark of fortifcation, no
signs Of defense, welcomes the assist-
ance that the United States is renter
ing, welcomes this new artner into the
arena that is battling for q .disruRtion
of the forces that breed and beget tyr

There is a neeessity for the grsatsst
effort ever was made. not only. on the
battle fields Of Europe, not only on the
mined and summarized seas, but In
carrying -out on the peaceful: fields

the departments OF resources. The
recent reports by the Government
show great falling off in the amount
of grain that may be expected .frem;tAe
crop as Of recent date, being only, "a
little over 60 per cent, 16 per cent
less than the average. Every patriotic
American will bend all his effort
towards increasing this. He may not
shoulder musket, but he can handle
a hoe, he can drive q team and man
age a plow. He will be doing yeoman
service in this way, and assist In
wonderful manner the man who Is
fighting in the trenches. If he does
not now own piece of land, by all
means get one--rent 1t, buy it-get It.
There is lot of vacant land that vial

The desire to possess home, to Inn
prove 1t and to prosper, is natural to
every American, and today ,unprece-
