He had been a fireman on the rail-

added
He was assured that there was no
question as to which side the obliga-
ton was on, as no one. for whom he
had fought, could do enough for him
to repay him for his sacrifice
The women of the canteen did not

seed in this country. The situation
for 1921 Is serious, because of the
shortage of sugar-beet seed In Europe
as compared with former years, and
because Of the increased activity In
beet-sugar production In European
countries, which will probably require
a large part Of the European beet
