"A AUTOMOBILE

The automobile industry in Canada
is one of the best organized industries
in the country, supporting more than
100000 epople.
Those who criticize the motor car
as luxury, ignore the fact that PROB
ably not one passenger car in hun
dred is used solely for pleasure pur-
poses; that the. motor car ranks with
the railroad, street railway, telephone,
telegraph, as business facility; that
it multifplies the efficiency OF the bus
mess and professional man as it does
that that Of the soldier; that it is pro
ductive not parasitic; an asset not a
! liability; that we are better, health
Ter, more prosperous people because
Of it; chat we owe good roads to it
yes, and the motor truck and tractor
and aeroplane, too. 1t has helped tC
lower and not increase the cost Of liv
ing. 1t has been and is ever increas
ingly one Of the most potent factors
in our national development, progress
and success. 1t saved Verdun an(
Paris and it is winning the war fol
US.
The motor car industry is one of thu
most staple of our industries. Canada
has gone through period of stabil
izing adversely and has now epteret
upon an era of sound, wholesome pros
perity.

INCREASED NEED
FOR MOTORS IN
TRANSPORTATION

When you sum up the value of the
automobile to any community or coun-
try, you find that the advantages de-
are about the same. 1t doesn't seem
to make any difference whether you
are talking about Canada, the United
States, Australia, or any other coun.
try. 1t is the same.
1t is true that the progress made
has been varied, that is, it has been
faster in some than others, but the
ultimate conclusions reached as to the
value of the automobile as a neces-
sity and utility have been the
same. .,.-t
Take the case of Canada. Here is a
vast country, one which truly is en-
titled to the term of magnificent dis.
tances" 1t has a great land area of
3,729,665 miles. Most of it is rich,
agricultural land, worthy Of develop,
ment. i
H0 wis this great fertile stretch of
land to be reached in country with
out fine network o. railroads which
would be required to touch this land ?
BY Automobile, of course. And so in
Canada, which is rapidly growing
country, the automobile is a most I'M
portant factor in the development
which is going on all the time. The
automobile is Of vital Importance and
here it is used strictly in q. trans
pOrtatiOn sense, as means of quick
conveyance. =. be-. ......, ,. ..s.. -,@
We all know that the automobile
has been the means Of increasing the
value OF land. This is especially true
in Canada. 1t has made a great diff
ference. The motor car has increas
ed land values enormously, for the
very good reason that it has been
made accessible ........., 49,
1t is easy to see, then, that Can
ada believes in the automobile in no
UNCERTAIN terms. .a a.. ......3 g.
And the number of cars in use will
increase with each day. This is Ger
tain. There will be no enchment
in the least. And, as will be seen, the
reasons are obvious. y
The population. of Canada is about
seven million people, and being among
the newer countries to be developed
industry has not yet reached the mag
nitude attained in some other cOun
tries. , From the standpoint of vol
ume, agriculture leads-and it has for
several years been extremely profit
able. r,.,.,..I. 49,.

GREAT WAR PLANT
TO BE COMPLETED
IN RECORD TIME

Detroit, Dec. 29.-There is no doubt
in the minds of Detroit residents
about the governments determination
to respond promptly and theoretically
to Premier Lloyd-George's pleas for a
million men and a mountain of arms"
Although many industries have quietly
taken over the manufacture of NUM-
tons since the war began, the new
rush started only recently. Gigantic
new structures are being put together
with amazing speed to handle i'm.
imense new contracts for the govern
ment. No shortage of materials hand
leaps these undertakings. Everything
comes under government priority Or
der.
Probably the most prominent ex.
ample, both in magnitude and dis.
patch is the immense new plant which
will house the Dodge BROTHERS NUM-
tons industry. The day after a con-
tract for millions of dollars worth of
special recoil mechanism had been al
lotted to Dodge Brothers by the gov
eminent, force of hundreds of men,
teams and machines was on the

been pushed with great rapidity, the
force Of workmen being enlarged as
fast as la5orers and mechanics are
available. Overnight acres OF ground

to have the plant in operation next
spring, with thousands Of Workmen
employed. The entire work is in
charge of Dodge Brothers own con

AS a whole the automobile indus
try is cooperating with the govern
ment on a vaster scale than the pub
lie generally imagines, this being but
one example of the energetic spirit
which is enabling the country to ge'

Putting The Calf On Winter Feed

',Weanling calves at the present
time are receiving their change from
summer to winter feed. In quite
few instances this is merely a change
from grass to gain, although in many
cases with younger calves it may be
taking the calf OFF a milk diet and
putting it on the grain ration. This
change, unless given gradually and
with care is very often detrimental to
the calf. It's stomach must accustom
itself to the new feed, in fact, its en-
tire digestive system must undergo a
change to properly care for the new
feed While the calf lives through
the change, there is often a loss of
fat and vitality, leaving the system in
good condition to contract disease,
and consequent stunning of growth"
says G. E. Woleott, of the Maryland
Extension Service.
The calf or for that matter, the
yearlings of both sexes should never
be fed the same ration as COW. The
cows business is to produce milk and
she is fed with that in view The
young animals business is to grow,
and feeds for tissue building and milk
manufacture, while made up of the
same constituents, must necessarily
be in different proportions for the best
results. When calves are weaned
their main source of protein, milk,
is cut off and from this time until ma
turity they should receive those feeds
furnishing an abundance of this ele-
ment 1t is found in alfalfa, clover,
soy bean or cowpea hay In addition
to hay a grain ration must be fed
Probably the most. economical and
convenient mixture is parts corn
meal, parts linseed meal or oil cake,
and 1part bran The amounts of this
mixture needed by the animal depends
TO large extent on the size of the
calf, and the rate of grain the owner
wishes to maintain. Too slow a grain
is not desirable and at the same time
it is often dangerous as we'll as ex-
pensive to crowd the animal too much
The young stock should have all the
roughage they will eat, with the ex-
ception of silage. and the amounts of
silage vary from a few pounds for the
small calf to about 90 pounds for
yearling heifer. Where a rye or
wheat field is available for pasturage,
little roughage is needed except in
stormy weather.

MISSES INFLUENCE ON CHILD
Hard tc Exaggerate How Important 1t
Can Be Made in the Training
of Youth.

Story-hour has always been the
standby of youth, gleefully anticipat-
ing the soothing close of the day. Ev-
cry mother. too, has appreciated these
minutes day after day, as q blessing in
the training and development of her
child. II is an indisputable fact that
a child never absorbs more than when
it is Interested and amused. So dur
ing the pleasant story hours the child
learns about the joys, the sorrows, the
disappoinhnents-in short, all the les
sons of life.
But now some resourceful mother
has discovered how to improve this
ancient institution. How? BY setting
its libretto to music; by putting into
song all the little tales of the hour
cheerful tunes for tales of joy; low,
soft tunes for sad tales; clamorous
tunes for victories.
Heretofore so many children have
grown TO manhood and womanhood
without the helpful influence of music,
probably because the mother has put
forth such feeble excuses as 81 am NOT
musical; l can only play for my own
amusement" II don't know enough
about music to teach 1t to my chill
dren." These ideas are old-fashioned
now, and no longer hold water. Any
little tune, no matter how weakly sung
or played, but fitting in with the mood
of the tale or action of the moment,
delights the child, and unconsciously
leaves behind an indelible influence
and recollection of happy days.

Huge Buildings For Offices
At Washington

One Of the manifold problems pre-
scented by the war is that of furnish
ing adequate Office accommodations
for the thousands of additional off
cials, CLERKS, and other Federal ser.
wants who are pouring into Washing
ton. The Government is exercising
lts prerogative in this direction and
has commandeered conveniently To-
Gated office buildings and apartment
houses with free hand. In addition,
it is erecting huge temporary struc-
tureefor use as Offices, and in the build
ing of these contractors are breaking
time records for construction work.
A building to house the six hundred
officials and clerks of the Council Of
National Defense, containing more
than 100, 900 square feet of floor
space, was erected and folly equipped
in fifty-three days. Similar buildings
nearby are for the use of the forces of
the Food Administration, Fuel Admin
istration, and Army Ordnance. Work
is we'll under way on a mammoth
structure which will cover three city
blocks to house the overflow of the
War and Navy Departments, the con-
tract for which calls for completion in
four months.
By these methods the Government
keeps in advance of its actual needs.
At the present rate of increase the
usual $4,000 Federal employees in
Washington will be more than doubled
if the war continues another year.
Workers of sll kinds are being ap-
pointed, stenogrsphers and typewriters
and craftsmen for the service gener-
ally, and what are known as schedule
clerks, index and catalogue clerks,
clerks qualified in business administra-
tion for the Ordnance Department of
the Army. being in great demand.
Representative of the Federal civil
service commission at the post offices
in sll cities are the official recruiting
agents for the great civilian army, an
army of half million behind the men

In addition. the Annapolis Commit
tee has issued the following state
ment for publication:
THE War Library Committee wishes
to give its very hearty thanks to the
generous citizens who have contrib
uted to this splendid cause at a time
when other imperative calls on their
resources were very numerous.
THE donations have all been tabu-
lated on printed forms, with the
names of the donors, for record. in

library War Council.
sThose who have offered books and
magazines to the committee for use
al the local soldiers and sailors rest
and recreation rooms, when estab-
lished, are requested to have them in

tee will call for them in short time.
1T is believed that the $1,000,OO0
fund for books, of which the 1915 is
our contribution, will prove to have
been oversubscribed when the results
from all parts of the country are COM
bined. 1t will be a satisfaction to all
who love books, who believe in their
educational value, and who appreciate
the high ideal which has inspired this
creation of a great national and dem
ocratic library of million books, to
know that every dollar of the fund will
be made to do its full duty towards
furnishing recreation, education, and
relief from tedium to our brave
defenders

BE HONEST WITH CHILDREN
Especially Pewiciogs Are Tire Foolish
Threats That arc Frequently.
Made by Parents.

Do not lie to children. They viii
soon learn you are lying; you viii lose
their confidence. and their respect for
you VIII lie gone. When you tell them
fairy stories, let them understand they
are stories. Enjoyment Of the tales
will not be less. Some try 10 control
children by telling them they viii be
whipped, thrown cut of the window,
that the ''bogy man" viii catch them,
that they will be sold TO the rag
man, or the policeman viii get them,
and by making many other untrue,
senseless threats. The child soon dis
covers that none Of these things &C.
cur. He ceases to fear the threat and
becomes as diS0bedient as eyer-per-
haps more so. since such threats act
like dares TO continue.
One bad threat often made to chill
dren is that the policeman will get
them and take them TO JAIL Children
should be taught that the policeman is
a friend not an enemy. They should
be trained to know the policeman is
one to guard them from harm and to
help them in trouble.
The evil of a lie to child cannot be
estimated. 1t does not correct the
child's behavior. One loses the child's
respect, and ones authority is conse-
quently weakened. A more serious re-
suit, however, is that the child learns
to lie. Amy lie is an attempt to de-
eeive and must have evil consequences,
both for oneself and the child to whom
the lie is told. One should never make
o threat one cannot perform. Threats
are bad at the best. There are other
ways to accomplish ones purpose. If
You would keep your children honest
with you, be honest with them.
