Lantern Slides Are A War Need Service The call of war to Canada is also a summons to education. Farmers, artisans, members of the various fig'hting forces and all immediately concerned in the active maintenance ot the sinews of war must be experts in their respective as ever before. Among the results of this call for the intensified knowledge has been an increased demand on the lantern slide service of the Dominion Department of Agriculture. This service is com- pletely known outside a circut of soc- ial and educational meetings of agri- cultural societies, churches, schools, colleges and other institutions inter- ested in the national field of endeav- our in the production of food ani other agricultural products and by- products. The service comprises many series of lantern slides accom panicd by manuscript lectures on c , wide variaty of subjects. To all in- tent and purposes^ it is free, inas- much as the only outlay is the car- riage charge on receipt of the sli;. A catalogue of slides may be obtained by writing to Publicity and Exten- sion Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa.

"Can I help you," said the good- natured person to a man who was un- successfully trying to force a mule into a freight car. "Yes '' said the man, "tell me how Noah got two of these blighters into the ark." In future every officer struck off strength and every soldier on being dischaiged from active service in the Canadian Army will undergo an x- ray examination. Reports of these x-rays will form part of the perman- ent records of all officers and men and must be submitted as part of medical board proceedings before re- turning to civil life. "Sugar keeps you happy", says a dietary note. It also makes people fat, thus corroborating the old saying that fat people are always happy. Strange things do happen. In New York there was a 7-ton truck filled with sand. Inuring a rain storm it be- came soaked and the weight increased to the point where the truck collapsed and the driver killed.

Newspaper Advertising Brings In Income Tax Newspaper publicity and newspap- er advertising were credited with the successful early income tax payments. Colin Gibson, minister of national revenue, announced, which had more than met the most optimistic expec- tations of officials. More than 109,- ODD taxpayers turned in $35,000,000 during January, it was stated. Of these 80,000 took advantage of instal- ment payments, while 20,000 paid their taxes in full. "The newspaper counted more than all the circulars put out," Mr. Gibson declared hun- dreds Of letters are still to be opened as the great response flooded the de- partment.

This home- grown fruit has reached such a price that apples are no longer a competi- tor with tropical or citrous fruits which are shipped in from great distances and on which additional cost is added for exchange. Since the. war there has been little, if any, ex- pert of apple."? from Ontario, and the Department of Agriculture has been trying to assist the growers *o sell their apples by an avertising cam- paign, to encourage the public to use more apples. It is going to be pretty difficult to convince the public to do S.0 when apples cost as much as trop- ical fruits. If under present condi- tions, apples cannot be marketed at a lower price, serious study should be given to the problem at once or growers will have quantities" of apple.s left on their hands next spring. ~ Aylmer Express. ^,_^^._- iKshipjflfcr losses at Dun- lirk* awl^the necessity of making gttbd thesi^ loBies r- with the mech â- nljES^dir !^f i^ Empire'a armies e- combig inereuitigly important in Britain's" plans â€" the Canadian auto- motive indust|Ey hiMi^been call«d upon to asfliune the licm's trJ^frs of this though it was alreai3^']^i|giiKn to be, the industry has BchieV(^ wonders in adapting itself to urg^t . ?rar*i^me demands.
