WILL realize WAR
WHEN FAMINE comes
DR.. Harvey Wiley Makes
This Statement at
Queen Theatre
HELD BY WOMEN'S
DEFENSE LEAGUE

There are two things the matter
with this country" said Or. Harvey
Wiley. food expert, in an address be-
fore a mass meeting under the aus
pices Of the Womens Defense League
in the Queen Theatre yesterday after
noon. I'VE don't realize that we are
at war. and we don't know how to
husband our resources. When our
soldiers 90 across TO the battlefelds
OF Europe and we read the casualty
lists, then we will know and realize
that we are at war When our chill
dren cry with hunger and when we
ourselves feel the pangs OF famine,
then and only then, perhaps, we will
begin to know how TO husband our
resources"
In urging conservation OF the food
supply DR.. Wiley predicted not only
the CONSUMPTION OF men, but the food
supply as well. Dean Harry Hayward
OF the Agricultural Department Of
Delaware College was also a speaker
DR.. Wiley confined himself more
particularly to the nutrltlonal value
of various foods, while Professor
Hayward spoke on the work that has
already been done towards securing
larger and better crops and asked the
assistance of the women in obtaining
labor when harvest time comes. Pre-
ceding the speaking, Mrs. Charles r.
Miller, chairman, wife OF former Gov
ernor Miller, read brief reports from
the various subcommittee concern
ing the work that the women have
already accomplished
Professor Hayward told his hearers
that Delaware was one of the three
States whichu has made Il complete
agricultural census. and that it was
one of the very few States in which
every community had been visited in
an endeayor to induce farmers to pro-
duce larger and better crops this
year than ever before. He urged that
every assistance be furnished the Con
Committee at harvest time,
and that the manufacturers be re-
quested to give their employees with
farm experience a flirlough at that
time, TO help in the harvest.
Mrs. william S. Hilles reported tina;
250 women already had offered their
services in various capacities. in case
It should become necessary for women
to fill some Of the positions now oc-
cupied by men who go TO war.
Mayor Price congratulated the
women OF the city on the manner in
which they had taken hold of the
work which had been outlined for
them and the able way in which they
have co-operated with the mems com
mittee. Secretary of State Everett c.
Johnson was not able to be present,
although he had been scheduled TO
speak.
The attendance was exceptionally
large and the meeting enthusiastic.
Mrs. Miller opened the meeting by
having those present recite the Lords
PRAYER which was followed by the
singing Of America" Between adj
dresses various patriotic songs were
sung and the meeting closed with the
singing of 1.-THE Star 'Spangled Ban
ner."

Children and Untruths.

Why do children lie? Edwin S. Pull
Ter in the Mothers Magazine answers
the question by saying that the imagi-
nation of a child is stronger than his
intellect, that fiction is as real to
child as fact.
'"The cure for lies inspired by imagi-
nation" he asserted, "is the education
Of the child's intellect to distinguish
between fact and fancy. AS his error
is mental, not normal, his cure must
be mental. 1t would be a grave error
of training to attempt to suppress his
imagination as cure for his untruths.
Imagination is the handspring which
moves his mentality TO growth, hence
1t should be directed into rational
channels and not curbed.

SOLD SHOTGUN
! FOR TEN DOLLARS
And Filed on Western Canada
Land. Now Worth $4,000.

Lawrence Bros. Of Vera, Saskatche-
wan, are looked upon as being amongst
the most progressive farmers in West
ern Canada. They have had their
'ups-and-downs," and know what it
is to be in tight pinches. They perse-
vered, and are now in an excellent
financial position. Their story is an
interesting one. Coming in from the
states they travelled overland from
Calgary across the Battle river, the
Red Deer river, through the Eagle
Hills and on to Battleford. On the
way their horses were stolen, but this
did not dishearten them. They had
some money, with which they bought
more horses, and some provisions.
When they reached Battlefsrd they
had only money enough t nay their
ferriage over the Saskatchewan river,
and this they had to borrow. 1t was
in 1905 that they filed on homesteads,
having to sell shotgun for ten dol
lars in order to get sufficient money to
do so. Frank Lawrence says:
'"Since that time we have acquired
altogether a section and a half of
land, in addition to renting another
three quarters of a. section. If we
had to sell out now we could probably
realize about $5O,OOO and have made
all this since we came here. We get
crops in this district Of from 80 to
35 bushels of wheat to the acre and
oats from 40 to 80 bushels to the acre.
Stock here pays well. We have LOO
sheep, 20 cattle and go horses, of which
number are registered Clydes.''
Similar successes might be given Of
the experiences of hundreds Of farm
ers throughout Western Canada, who
have done comparatively as well. Why
should they not dress well, live we'll,
have comfortable homes, with all mod
ern equipments, electric light, steam
heat, pure ventilation, and autOmo-
biles. Speaking Of automobiles it will
be revelation to the reader to learn
that during the first half Of 1917, 49,
600 automobile licenses were issued in
Alberta, twice as many as in the whole
of 1916. In Saskatchewan, 210O0 Ii
censes were issued up to the first Of
May, 1917. In it's monthly bulletin for
June the Canadian Bank of Commerce
makes special reference to this phase
and to the general prosperity Of the
West in the following:
Generally speaking the western
farmer is, in many respects, in much
better position than hitherto to in
crease his production. Two years of
high prices for his products have en-.
abled him, even with normal crop,
to liquidate a substantial proportion
Of his liabilities and at the same time
to buy improved farm machinery. His
prosperity is reflected in the demand
for building materials motor cars
and other equipment. 1t is no doubt
true that some extravaganza is evil
denced by the astonishing demand for
motor cars, but it must be remembered
that many of these cars will make for
efficiency on the farm and econornize
both time and labor" or."-Advertisement.
