When our pioneer grandparents hud a big job to do they called in their neighbours. A burn raising brought help from miles around. Skilled burn frainers took charge; sides were chosen and com- petition between teams lent interest to the work. This old Canadian custom was revived when Canada's National War Finance Committee wus formed and went into operation. Under the leadership of the National and Provincial Com- mittees men experienced in the organization and conduct of Gnuiicial operations Local Com- mittees were formed in all communities. Co- operation and competition characterized the work. The biggest "raising" in Canada's history got away to a magnificent start. Practice These 3 Simple Safety Measures: Threshing lires will be practically eliminated if these three simple precautions are taken : Use a water sprayer at the base of the blower supplying JO to 40 gallons of water per hour according to the dryness of the straw. This will keep down dust which increases lire the moment it starts. Prevent matches, either loose or in boxes, from passing through the machine. Boxes of matches have proved more dangerous than loose matches. Insist that none be carried by anyone engaged. Obey the Fire Marshal's order posted on the machine. I Set the engine or tractor well away from straw or any other readily combustible material. Prevent load* of sheaves from standing or passing near to the engine's exhaust. Especially in wartime it is every farmer's duty to prevent threshing lires from starting. But if they <io start, he ready for them. Keep a barrel of wattr near the blower <ntd ^mother near the eny'mc. A /fame-proof blanket is an excel- lent thing to smother a fire the moment it bet/His: but a coat <>/ (i .tmoi'lt' will do. h'ii/ht by frevtntinii firex. Farmers' Central Mutual Fire Insurance Co.

Some will serve on the committees organized to promote continued sales of Bonds, War Savings Certificates and Stamps. All of us must continue to buy these securities. We must save every dollar, every cent we i-an u nd lend our money to Canada. We must provide the money required to carry on the war the money required to win the war. Our fighters must have more ships and tanks and guns and planes. They must have better ships and tanks and guns and planes than the enemy has. We must all work, and save and lend. The safest investments we can find for our savings are Bonds, War Savings Certificates and Stamps and they will provide money for us to buy things that we will want when the war is ended.
