Sometimes you hear say ooh, you can't
hurt the battery.
He forgets to add distilled water.
He steps too long his starter instead of cleaning
his spark plugs.
He puts in acid instead of having his battery
charged
He never has Hydrometer test made.
And when his battery suddenly quits he can't
realize that it has been gradually dying from neglect
and abuse.
It's fallacy to believe that you neglect any
battery without suffering the consequences.
The Bone-Dry Willard Battery with Threaded
Rubber Insulation is made to give unusual service
and long ife but it must be kept charged, and has
to be supplied with pure water.

Agriculture in Canada has reached
high standard, Notwithstanding which
lands are low in price.
Thus upon the United States and
Canada for many years will rest the
great burden of feeding the world.
With free interchange of travel, diff
culties of crossing and recrossing re-
moved, Canada may look for speedy
resumption of the large influx of set
tiers from the United States which pre-
vailed previous to the war. During
the war period there was a dread OF
something no one seemed to know
what: if the American went to Canada
he might be cOnscripted, put in prison,
or in his attempt to cross the border he
would meet with innumerable difficult
ties, most of which, of course, was un-
true These untruths were circulated
for purpose by an element which, it
was discovered had an interest in TO-
menting and creating trouble and dis
trust between two peoples whose Ian
guage and aims in life should be any
thing but of an unfriendly character.
The draft law of the United States
adopted for the carrying out of the
high purposes had in view by the Unit
ed States kept many from going to
Canada during the period of the war.
The citizen army Of the United States
was, quickly modified, and contained
a large percentage of the young men
from the farms. In this way many
were prevented from going to Canada.
That is all over now. There are no
real or imaginary restrictions; there is
no draft law to interfere. On the con-
trary there is an unfathOmable depth
of good feeling, and the long existing
friendship is stronger than ever. This
has been brought about by the knowl
edge of what has been done in the re-
cent great struggle, each vying with
the other in giving credit for what was
accomplished. In thought and feeling,
in language, in aims in life, in work,
in desire to build up new world,
there has been bred kinship which is
as indissoluble as time itself.-Adver-
tiSement.

Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION
Government Justified In Stimulation
of Pork NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Increase Over Pre-
War Exports.

Through increased production and
conservation we will be able this year
to export seven times our pre-war
average exports of pork productA
With the heavy demands added in car
ing for the millions who have been
freed from German oppression, the
Department of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are justified to-
day in our every action Of stimulation
of hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be in
fats, and pork viii help to save this
situation. The efficacy OF the policy
of stimulated production has built up
In this country supplies which will en-
able us to supply very large part OF
the fat deficiency Of the world. In
beef there must be shortage in Eu-
rope, due largely to limited refrigera'
tor ship capacity. AL freezer ships
available, however, will be filled by
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro-
ducers of this country to the war pro-
gram as applying particularly to ami
NAL food products II illustrated by the
following:
Reports compiled by the O. S. De-
partment of Agriculture indicate an
increase in cattle Of 10,2SS,000 head
and 12,441, 900 hogs. These figures
were complied to January l last.
In this period there was a decrease
in sheep OF $4,000 head. The indica-
tons are that this decrease will show
an increase, according to recent re.
ports.
Since January / unofficial informa.
ton indicates an increase in hogs Of
not less than 8 per cent. and not
more than Is per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an increase in
the average weight.
Following the request Of the q. 8.
Food Administration for an increase
in hog production for marketing in the
fall Of 1918 and the spring of 1919 the
increase may Yield not less than I, $780,.
100000 pounds more of pork products
than were available last year. With
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an
imal food products would have been
impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 80,
1917, amounted to 9O3,172,OO0 pounds,
while for the corresponding months Of
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
1877 $3.50, 900, an increase Of over 374,-
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records of inspected slaughter of
dressed beef showed 1,263OOO,OOO
pounds as against 1854, 100000 pounds
for the three month period ending
