This action was taken in view of the

at this time even more ola war necessity
than ammunition or men,
"The food situation is now more criti.
cal than ever" said Mr.. Cullen, "and in

have voluntarily discontinued the use oil

The rapidity with which favorable

estimate that the wheat crop of 1915
may exceed billion bushels

Many ladies are giving much of their
time as will be seen by the list of sup.
plies which has been sent in to Head
quarters during the eight months just
closed.
There are however, many ladies who
have not done stitch toward this patri-
otic work, and some we know are abun-
| dainty able, in fact some are more able
than some who have been giving con.
siderable of their time.
A new system is about to be installed
which will give every lady credit for the
number of hours she puts in and when
published at the end of each month will
also show who are the slackers If the
name of any lady does not appear among
the list of workers and she does not
have good reason the only place we
shall be able to classify her is among the
sackers, as we would the boys who re-
