of this country realize that the food
situation is of utmost gravity they will
willingly adjust themselves to the ne
cessities of the case and make what
ever sacrifices may be required. The
call which is made upon them is in
the name Of the Canadian soldiers at
the front, the allied armies, and the
civilian populations of the allied ma
tions who have already made food sac
rifices to an extent little realized by
the people of this country"
Here is an appeal made by man,
upon whom rests the great responsible
ity of assisting in providing food for
the allies and the soldiers at the front,
who are fighting the battles in mud
and blood. 1t cannot be ignored. At
home we are living in luxury and ex-
travagance inclined to idleness and for
getfulness. This must cease. We must
save and produce. Our lands must be
titled no matter where 1t may be, In
Canada or the United States. 1t is
our duty to cultivate. Splendid oppor-
tunities in the United States are open
for further cultivation Of lands. West
ern Canada also offers opportunities in
high producing lands at low prices.
Decide for yourself where you can do
the most good, on land in the United
States or in Canada, and get to work
quickly.-Advertisem

JUST WHY IS A GUINEA HEN?
Question s Asked by Writer Who Evil
IDENTITY Has No Great Liking for
the Breed.

Whoever designed the guinea hen
and composed the music for her vocal
organs must have used rasp for a
tuning fork. Guinea hens and their
husbands are alike in appearance
when you've seen one you've seen the
other. Their plumage is of one and
the same piece of goods, like the Quak-
ers'. If ever you have INDUCED in fill
Ing the teeth of cross-cut saw, you've
heard the synonym of her melody.
Nature did herself a dreadful inius-
tice when she produced this variety of
fowl and the farmer who gives her
board and lodging is no good Chris
tian. l say this because any man who
sells you guinea hen as youthful and
tender has designed to skin you.

Wouldn't Keep SUGAR He Found.

Washington has another honest
man. He's Edward B. Maddox, who,
after suffering for the last two months
from the sugar famine, turned $40
pounds of the precious STUFF over
to the Washington police. He had
found a barrel of granulated sugar
near the substation of the Potomac
Electric company. Evidently the bar
rel had been dropped by truck. Mad
dox has been able to get less than two
pounds of brown sugar week, he
said. The amount of sugar he found,
on the war basis, would have lasted
him four years. He was not regret
full, however, that he had turned the
sugar over to the police to find it's
rightful owner.-Washingt Times.

War and the "Weather Man."

In this war the weather man." the
meteOrolOgist, has come into his own
No one laughs at him now. His in
formation is desired by the artillery
officer who has to know the tempera-
ture of the air and its moisture con
tent, the strength of the wind at diff
ferent levels, and the like, in order
that he may aim his gun When the
temperature is lowering about the
freezing point, the staff wish to know
if the improvised roads will be frozen
sufficiently to permit the movement of
guns or motortrucks. The captains of
the air squadrons must know the CON
dition of the atmosphere up to heights
of 10000 feet. The Importance of
the information may be judged from
the fact that we were asked repeatedly
If there was not some way by which
the American weather reports could
be kept from reaching Germany. Our
reply had to be that, with Mexico
where it was, nothing could be DONE

FOOD CONTROLLER OF
CANADA GIVES WARNING
Food Production Should Be In
creased at All Cost.

In his letter to the public on the
list OF January Hon. w. J. Hanna, Can.
adas Food Controller, says:-
Authoritative information has
reached me that food shortage in Eu-
rope is terribly real, and only the
sternest resolve on the part of the pro-
ducers, and equally stern economies on
the part of all as consumers, can pos
sibly save the situation.
France last year had crop be-
tween one-third and one-half that of
normal year. Women did the work
or draught animals in a determined
effort to make the impoverished soil
OF France produce every possible ounce
OF food. They now look to us to make
up their deficiency of essential sup
plies.
THE harvest in Italy was far below
normal and will require much larger
supplies to feed her people until next
harvest.
1T is impossible for the allies to
spare many cargo carriers to transport
foodstuff from India, Australia, New
zealand and even the Argentine Repub-
lie. This means that the allied nations
are practically dependent upon North
America to supply them with the food
which must be forthcoming If terrible
suffering is to be avoided and the fight
ing efficiency Of the armies maintained.
"On December 1, the United States
mad not single bushel of wheat for
export, after allowance was made for
domestic requirements on the basis of
normal consumption, and the United
States Food Administration is endeav-
orfng to bring about a reduction of 20
per cent in home consumption of wheat
and flour. This would release 100000
600 bushels for export, but the Allies
Will require nearly five times that
amount before the 1918 harvest.
Canada is the only country in the
world, practically accessible to the AL
lies under present conditions of ship
ping shortage, which has an actual ex-
portable surplus of wheat after allow
aDce for normal home requirements.
The surplus today is not more than
per cent in our normal consumption
would save an additional 100000
bushels for export. The outlook for
production of food stuffs in Europe
next year is distinctly unfavorable.
"Such is the situation-grave beyond |
anything that we thought possible
few months ago. Unless! our people |
are aroused to a realization of what |
the world shortage means to us, to our
soldiers and to our Allies, and of the |
terrible possibilities which it entails,
disaster is inevitable.
Production, too, must be increased
to the greatest possible extent. Pres,
ent war conditions demand extraordi-
nary efforts, and every man, woman,
boy or girl who can produce food has
a national duty to do so.

SOCIALIST PRESS GAGGED AND
LEADERS JAILED IN FIGHT
TO END STRIKE.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Copenhagen, Feb. A copy of a
pamphlet issued by the independent
| Socialists, which reached Copenhagen,
| shows that the strike in Germany was
prepared by them. The pamphlet
points out that the Pan-Germans have
brought the peace negotiations and
the future of Germany into great dan
ger.
Admiral Won Tirpitz, leader of the
Fatherland party, after an interview
with the imperial chancellor, declared
that he was satisfied with the govern
ment's plans concerning the east. Such
a declaration, says the pamphlet,
proves that the government is in col
lusion with the advocates of violence,
and just at this moment the Reichstag,
the only place where the annexation
ist policy could be attacked, is closed
and other means of criticism made i'm
possible by the government.
Our press is gagged, our comrades
are imprisoned, and the factories to
still greater extent are materialized,"
continues the pamphlet.
Men and women of the working
classes, there is no time to lose! After
the horrors and horrible suffering we
have undergone, new and frightful
disastc" threatens our people-yes,
even the whole of humanity.
"Only a peace without indemnities
can save us, and the hour has come
when you must raise your voice for
such peace"

dispatch dated Feb. 1, reproducing
proclamation issued by the deputy

says:
Germany is face to face with her

abandoned hope of victory by arms
and are now trying to SOW dissension !
in our ranks.
Il raise my warning voice and ask
you to consider what will happen If |
our front begins to totter. Political |
resistance must and will, in all cir
cumstances, be smashed. Germany
must not experience such conditions
as the Russian revolution produced"
The worst disturbances were in the
Moabit Dill, where crowds Of strikers
attempted to overturn street cars. The
police intervened and were resisted
by the strikers, collisions occurring.
There were stormy scenes also in
