GIVE FARMERS PRACTICAL
AID.

If all of the gratuitous advice
rendered the farmers since the
food crisis developed were eompil-
ed in one work, the Encyclopedias
Brittaniea would not hold it. Pos
sibly there was some sound sense
in portions of it. Certainly the
major portion of it has been the
merest drivel.
1t is not advice that the farmer
needs. If there is a class of men
in this nation today who are real
" familiar with every phase of
their profession, it is the farmers.
And it is often with a feeling of
amused contempt that they read
the senseleSs YapOrings of the
wiseaeres who essay to instruct
them.
What the farmer is in dire need
of right now is more man power
man power to put into effect the
plans he is perfectly capable of
formulating and carrying out if
he has agents to do his bidding.
Let him be ever so Intelligent
and as rule he is a person of
sound sense and reason-he simp-
" can not cultivate a big farm
by himself. But he can utilize
thousands of acres if he has the
man power with which to do it,
for he already has the brains.
We should make no mistake in
this matter. With practically the
world to feed, if this war is won
the farmers will play an impor-
tant part in the winning, and all
of the advice from those slackers
who have nothing else to give is
not going to help him a whit.
"Can" the advice and offer him
work-good sound muscle and
sweat-and the farmer viii feed
the world and do his bit toward
winning the war.
The most obvious fact to the
farmer is that, in the approaching
draft and mobilization, the first
army to be raised should be an
army of the burrows, and that ar
my should be brought to the fur
rows from other fields of work
or idleness. And at no time will (
this need be more pressing than
on the day Of harvest.
The average farmer can extract
all of the advice he needs just now
from long life of experience.
What viii be most effective now
is bone and muscle, backed by a
willing mind and an intelligence
hat even approaches his own.
Get the man power, the farmer
will do the rest.

Reverie OF . Red OrOss Worker.

We look upon our finished work
Arrange it all with care
To fill the box prepared for il,
Then Ship-we know not where
All, we sigh and drop a tear
AS we know its borne afar;
Gone, perhaps, to meet the needs
OF our boys who go to war.
Wives and mothers, sisters, sweet
hearts,
Lent a helping hand in this,
And as each behOlds her garment
Fain would touch it with a kiss,
As she, in fancy, sees the wearer
Worn and aged-with wound
and scar,
A faint portrayal of the hardships
He,has met, who's gone to war.
Now our boys are snatehed
Into this mighty worldwide
fight;
Snatehed from pure and high am
billions,
Broadcast efforts towards their
right,
Leading TO a promised future,
But to see all shatter, fall
Into grim wars treaeherous
clutches,
As they must answer 10 the call.
Call us neither brave nor worthy
For the little part we've done
'TiS but barely a beginning
Hardly have we vet begun.
If anxiety overcOmes us
And we're eventually oppressed
Let as look to Him whose presence
Ever offers strength and rest.

A BILIOUS ATTACK

When you have bilious attack your
liver fails to perform it's functions. You
become constipated. The food you eat
ferments in your stomach instead of di-
costing. This infames the stomach and
causes nausea, vomiting and terrible
headache. Take Chamberlain s Tablets
They will tone up your liver, clean out
your stomach and you will soon be as
well as ever. They only cost quarter.
