What the Navy Has Done I In consenuence of British command of the seas, apart from air raids and a few apaamodic ('ashes of enemy cruisers, the territory of the British Empire has been held inviolate from enemy invasion. The British Empire is the only nation engaged in the war which has cun<iuer3d enemy territory and lost uone of Us own. The lines of comiiiuuication between a'l the theatres of war have been amply defended, maintained and protected for the transport of over 13,000,000 men from port to p»rt. Moreover, under the guardianship of the Fleet, over 2,000,00o horses, 2(i,000,(i00 tons of munitions and war supplies, and c:!,O00,COO tons of coal and oil have been conveyed to meet the needs of the allied armies. Within the Bricish Empire itself the Navy has safeguarded the ocean carriage of nearly 140,(JOO,000 tons of food and material. Notwithstanding the vigor of submarine attacks, the number of vesselg of all nationalities -irri .ing and departing from I'liited Kingdom ports in the week ending December liSth, 1917, was greater than in the week ending February .'jt'ith, 1!'17. when unrestricted submarine war- fare began. The maintainance of the blockade of Germany has resulted in the complete atoppatje of her ocean going coranierce. The tjerman tlag has been swept from the seas, and only on one occasion, the 1st of .f une. I'Jll), has German naval power ventured to challenge a fleet action. The conquest of German colonies in Africa, Asia and Australia has been the direct result of the applicatiou ofsea- powar in support of the niililary force on laud.

A GREATER NEED INSPIRES | A GREATER PRODUCTION » And to assist this greater production we are prepared to "do our bit". We have decided to buy Milling Feeds in Car lots, and distribute it to the farmers of this community and those of PriceviUe at MILLER'S PRICE in car lots. This m is an exceptional offer but these are exceptional times. Pork and bacon are needed badly by the Allies and in this way, we hope you, Farmer, will assist in this great need. Under ^i the foUow^ing conditions can this only be accomplished : '^^ "That you will lift the quantity you buy at the station when die car is on the track" 'That every farmer buy ut least five hundred pounds either Bran, Shorts, Middlings, etc. ' "That a depo.sit be left to your credit when the order i.s placed ; the balance to be cash when the feed is lifted." This means "FEEDS_ATC05T" We hope you will enter into this arrangement with great vigor. Place your order now for what you want. The sooner you place your order the sooner will get the feed* We mean so start right away. Get in on the first car lot Watch for our announcement next week. F. G. KARSTEDT Flesherton KARSTEDT BROS.
