WAR MEASURES ACT AND FARM PRODUCE BUCKINGHAM In Canada the War Measures Act is ill force again, and under its authority there has been created in Ottawa an aKriculturai supplies committee the aim whereof is, "To keep agriculture functioning in a manner which will supply the food and fibre needs of the people of Canada and their Allies in the war during the period of the war and to leave the farmer, as far as possible, in a position to follow his natural peacetime pursuits at the end of the war." Special sub-committees, aided by advisory l>oards, have been appointed to deal with farm products, the pur- chase and distribution of seeds, fert- ilizers, insecticedes, etc. The chief aim on the part of the government, says B. Leslie Enslic, will be the promotion of higher quality in farm produce be it grain, canning crops, meat or milk, and advice will be disseminated freely on fertilizers insecticides, seed fungicides, feeds and mineral supplements for the livestock, etc. Profiteering will be prevented and the farmers' interests protected. OUT OF HER LINE "Another new dress!" raved the husband. "Where do you think I'm going to get the money to pay for it. "That's your affair," came the wife's cold reply. "I didn't marrj- you to give you financial- advice. With all the science now applied to agriculture we have not yet noticed how many miles they get to a peck of oats.

PUT SHOES ON COWS TO MISLEAD PURSUERS Only human tracks were visible near Orangeburg, South Carolina, from the spot where a cow was stolen, but a puzzled policeman followed them any- way and arrested a suspect on a theft charge. The man admitted in court he had put shoes on the cow to mislead pursuers. He was esntenced to 18 In feminine fashions the bustle is once more bringing up the rear. IN CANADA ^-- RIGHT NOW!

Live Stock Report (By Dunn & Levack, Toronto) Over 6,000 cattle arrived for Mon- day's market and although the trade was slow, prices held steady for good and choice butchers, while weighty steers were slow and about a quarter easier. Cattle of medium quality were also easier. Selected stockers and feeders were in good demand, with common and medium a quarter lower lambs advanced 25c and calves were active and strong; hogs were lower. Choice weighty steers brought from 7.00 to 7.25; fair to good from 6.50 to 7.00; common 5.75 to 6.35. Choice butcher steers and heifers brought from 7.00 to 7.50; fair to good 6.50 to 7.00; common to medium 5.75 to 6.25. Choice baby beeves brought from 8.50 to 9.50; medium to good from 7.00 to 8.50. Selected stockers were steady at from 6.25 to 6.50; common to med- ium 5.00 to 6.00. Choice heifery cows were in good demand at from 5.25 to 5.60; choice fat cows 5.00 to 5.25; fair to good from 4.25 to 5.00; common to medium 3.75 to 4.25; canners and cutters 3.25 t* 3.75. Good heavy bulls from 4.75 to 5.50; common light kind 4.50 to 4.75. Lambs advanced 25c selling at 9.50. The sheep trade was active and steady, choice 4.50 to 6.00. Choice veal calves sold strong at from 10.50 to 11.00; fair to good from 9.00 to 10.26; common to medium 6.50 to 8.60; grassers 5.00. Stocker calves from 6.50 to 7.50. Supplies of hogs were heavy at all centres and Eastern markets reported lower, which caused a weak trade and prices worked lower. Truck deliveries selling at 8.60 and rail grades 11.50. Prospects for the balance of the week would be dependent on supplies. It is different in Canada. When you hear a wild and constant shrieking of auto horns and a conglkraeration of other sounds of excitetnent on the streets it isn't n signal to "duck for shelter â€" for an air raid is coming." It is merely another wedding party. We are suprised at Miss Macphail's assertion that there are only 31 wo- men in Canadian penitentiaries, "and most of them are there for killing their hubands." We thought that the number would have been larger, judg- ing by the justification which exists in so many cases. â€" Hanover Post.
