I'VE must resist to the utmost all
the destructive inroads on the chill

while guiding the boy power Of the

channels in which 1t can serve eff

To-day skilled labor is required on
the farms" said Mr.. Wilson. The
trained boys OF the reserve are in
a position to supply this demand for
skilled workers. The Reserve Is a
wonderful school for the boy and a
wonderful help for the farmer. 1t
