Senator Jules Meline, former president president of the French Cabinet, presiding presiding at the annual meeting of the Agricultural Agricultural Assembly, presented statistics statistics showing that the potato and forage forage crops this year are so abundant as to compensate the shortage in wheat. The excess of hay produced over other years will- enable the feeding feeding of enough live stock to make up for all the necessary requisitions of meat for the army. "The culminating point in the meat crisis," he says, "will come after the war, when all the belligerent nations will have pressing needs with reduced reduced means of production. Consequently Consequently the forage crop means quite as much to France as its production of wheat." . Dynamite was first experimented with at Mertshàm in 1868.

Probably owing to its coming by a slow boat Sergt. Dan Douglass' letter- of Nov. 5th did not reach here till Thursday Nov. 25--too late for use in our last issue. This will explain why no letter from his virile pencil appeared. His letter, in part, follows: follows: Somewhere in France, Nov. 5,1915. Dear Mr. James--You will have had the sad news, by the time this reaches you of the death of "The Unafraid Corporal" I can never write as I want to in cases such as this. Words cannot express the feelings one has in speaking of men like Ted Moody. I am prone to hero worship and hete was one man to whom I would look up to all my days. Fear he. did not know, and coolness at times of grave danger seemed to be his strong point. You people in the home town can «never realize realize what if means to keep a steady nerve when one would think the whole world was a chaos. It was a similar instrument of warfare which he used himself, which called him to his Maker--those vile instruments called called rifle grenades which I called "bolts from the blue" in one of my letters before. This place is one continuous series of smashing reports from bombs and rifle grenades--and it's called War. Ted was doing his du'y at the time of being struck in the back of his head by a piece of grenade. grenade. He did not suffer for death was almost almost instàntaneous, So passed from this sphere of action one of the finest soldiers I have ever met, and all his comrades mourn his passing. Still, Ted will not mind, if those who should be here, come and do their share. I shall write his mother who, I believe, has two more of her sons serving their country--as those worthy of the name of Britons and those fit for service, are doing. Ted should have gone next Monday, with myself, on pass to England. Those under him in the grenade section feel his loss very keenly, for all looked up to him as their Sergeant and a man worthy of his position. So passes another of the old 46th who died for his country and the cause of freedom. We boys particularly mourn his loss, for he was looked up to by all as "what we would be." We had a pretty bad shelling to-day as they--the Fritz men--were endeavoring to locate a trench mortar which was' doing doing quite a bit of worrying and spoiling of their trenches. They put over 22 of their biggest shells, and things rocked and the dirt flew--and the mortar is still there. We had some narrow squeaks from one or two falling short of where they wanted them to go, two even falling in "no man's land" giving their own men a scare as well as ourselves. You can guess they were close, when I tell you that we are only about 60 yards apart in that spot, and all the time I was thinking of my pass being so close--and those shells so much closer. We have had a fierce time the last four days as it has rained nearly all the time. Dugouls ar.d parapets fall in, and we are in a perpetual state of miserable wetness and with mud all over, which weighs a ton or two. I suppose our enemy is suffering in the same way, as our men could walk about and work in sight of those across the way and run veiy little risk. I wonder when this thing is going to finish ? It would take cast iron men (and they'd rust in the damp) to stand it very long. We gain in respect every day for the boys drove the Huns back, and then lived the whole winter in this same state of muddy discomfort. I do hope by the time this reaches town, that the ideas conveyed conveyed in your paper as to a certain high man in town will be proved to be errors. As I knew him, from my very slight knowledge, knowledge, he was a man of strictly honest ideas, with a manner that gave one confidence confidence in him. But perhaps "we see thru a glass darkly"--what are the true facts? All of us are in fair health at time of writing, and send best regards. Many thanks to those who have written to me, and also for gifts promised and received. I do value such confidence in me as regards regards the sending of parcels for distribution. distribution. Mr. J. A. Milne, now in Orillia, is not the least ot our good friends. Kindest Kindest regards to your staff and to yourself. Dan D. Sevgt. Dan Douglass, No. 8433, No. 3 Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Brigade, 1st Canadians in France, Army F. O , London, England. Captain O'Flynn Writes. In a letter to his mother in Belleville Capt. O'Flynn of the old "H" Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Brigade, C.E.F., writes from France under date of Nov. 8 as follows: follows: "The only thing to mar this fine day was the death of Sergt. Moody. The poor chap was killed by a rifle grenade which pierced his brain, or rather a piece of it did, and he never knew, what happened him. He was the last of the old "H" Company non-commissioned officers-- some are dead, some are missing, some wounded, and others invalided home sick, but all are gone. I am the only one left above the rank of private of the officers and N^C.O's that composed the old "H" company. The saddest part of it was that Sergt. Moody had arranged to go on leave riext Monday and was so pleased at the thought of feeing his mother and sweetheart after nearly nine months in France. It was sad but unfortunately common out here". * -- The Best Liver Pill.--The action of the liver is easily disarranged.
