You Can't Eat Advice

The big business men OF the

that the farmer IS willing to co

vice, so they are going to make

sible for the farmer to put out a
bigger acreage than he now has
seed for.
There is no charity about IT..
It's plain business Investment
and big cooperative plan. If
the farmer loses the investor
loses. If the farmer wins the
investor wins, and the boys in
the trenches won't have to eat

do come high.
Wheat Will Be High Next Year

milliods of men, womel, and

Even in Germany, France, and
other European countries, where
the need of food is sogreat, far m

divisions strong, the Belgian army is
ready to take its part in the offensive
in Flanders whenever the word is
given. The Belgian minister of war to-

Belgian army was composed of H.
900 men at the beginning of the war,
increased by 10000 volunteers in
August. 1914. and reduced to $4,000
men after the battle of the User.
Since then by the enrolment of Bel
gian refugees and the enlistment of
volunteers who have braved the live
wire barriers on the Holland frontier,
it has been brought up to 10 divisions
of well trained troops.
I'VE had only $4,000 infantry after
the battle of the Yser," said the minis
ter, ''and its equipment was in a pitt
able state. Munitions were lacking
and all of the different organisms
were deranged when the army base
