The plan is so simple, sure, and effective that we, ail, can share ini brightening their exis- tence and sending home cenifants te theni as they drill and rcst before, and after battle. The Dominion Government has arranged with six ieading social-service erganizatians that a central, vluntary, non-profit cern- mittee, Canadian War Services Fuid, will * colect freni us enly a littie ever five million dollars fer that> purpese, and that this moncy will be distributed among them te provide those home coniforts, fer ail an ac- tive ,serviee.

Yeu are asked ta save a few dmes, f8rego a few amail pleasures, that you may be ready for-te al this rnonth. Political Appeasement Are politicians fooling farmers these dayst Wc ýthink not. Several straightforward and straight-thinking, hard-bitten, tillers of the soul have dropped in latcly and with grim humer have said these things: "Sec what Mitch is doing; lic sanctioncd the risc ini mikprices for Tloronto and lcft thc rcst to figlit if eut.
