There was a desire to earn and save as much as possible, and a desire to add to the supplied of the year. The fall would see the exhaustion of the surplus grain of America, and, un- less the crops of 1917 were abun- dant, the prospect was that the want and perhaps thé suffering of the peo- ple would be very keen. To that end the people should be stirred up to the very greatest extent, in every line of production. Provincial and civic committees had been most earn- estly at work, and there was some satisfaction In noting the results. "Kingston," said a speaker at a public meeting recently, "is not eas- ily mbved. It is very conservative, in a non-political sense, and is not 'usually provoked into activity. But in the Greater Production Movement it is certainly exhibiting a life that is most unusual. The movement is not confined to any class. It has gripped the masses as nothing perhaps has ever done, and most, excellent results must follow as a matter of course." There 'will be such a cultivation of land as the city has' not seen before, and those who have entered into this work, with all their hearts, are en- thusing others, and with the very best effects, . For this public life and enthus- fam some credit is due to the publi- city department with which the newspapers have been identified, and for the success of which they are working with a vim. Once more it has been demonstrated that the press is the fulcrum that moves the public in a most remarkable way. . The Board of Trade, many weeks ago, agreed to let the pension office be opened in one of its apartments over the Bank of Commerce. What is deferring the opening of this most] -necessary institution? ARRESTING THE CONSPIRATORS Canada is' interested fin the arrest of certain 'German ts in the United States. Their internment ends the vieious service in which they have been engaged. The party includes some elderly gentlemen, who, in the secret mission of the German government, have heen plots "ting against the peace of the Ameri- can republic. Some, papers have been found, on theit premises and persons tial have been seriously compromising. These papers show them to have very direct communi- _eation with fierman activities of a} very serious kind. .

It came as a glad surprise and read: "From to-morrow, the first day of the New Year, our authorized force will be 500,000, The announcement 'is made in token of Canada's un- flinching resolve to crown the justice of our cause with victory and an abiding peace." Is there anything there about en- listments? Not much. And there wag not in Sir Robert's mind the miserable failure and subterfuge which is now suggested by the News. He meant 500,000 men in the field, not 500,000 enlistments, eh -------- EDITORIAL NOTES. A lot of people do not take to the Greater Production Movement be- cause they do not understand it. If ers, on Treland will lead the British Em- pire in greater production this year. It has added one million acres to the supplies. . The school board is replacing the veneered doors in the new wing of the Collegiate. Institute. Now, as the surprised citizen 'would say In the | parlance of the street, "What do you know about that?" The school children should be mar- shalled as soon ag possible for great- | er production. Both thé Education Department and the Board of Edu- ¢ation are providing generous prizes for thrift. and production. " Where is Von Hindenburg? Where is the wooden representation of the stalwart soldier with all the nallx which the people drove into it? Some of these days they will want to put a fire under it and consume it to ashes.

Last yéar there were 481,000,000 bushels, and partial failire where seed is sown in thd spring gave a total of only 640,000,- 000, whieh is far below the average in recent, years, . This official. report now indfeates only $30,000,000 "in the Winter States, where unfavor<! able weather has caused much loss, and the condition percentage is only victory to British arms, Eggs For School © Children. It may not bes generfilly known, but it is a'fact nevertheless, that the Department of Agriculture, tarough its wos i branch, will sell a setting of eggs to any schoel pupil for 25c. Now these eggs are worth 75¢ a set- ting, -and the question may be asked } why should they be-sold for 25¢. The answer is the department is bearing the difference in the cost and for the 63.4, the worst in forty years and |benefit of greater production. eigat points below the figures that, were expected. The market respond- ed promptly, the price 'of wheat at Chicago rising to $2.14 a bushel. Fortunately, there is encouraging news from the Northwest. Officers of the Great Northern Railrdad Com- pany say there will be a considerable increase of acreage in four. States where out three-quarters of the Spring Wheat is grown, and that a yield there of 315,000,000 bushels, against last year's 120,000,000, may reasonably be expected. But the ad- dition to acreage should he more than the 10 per cent. seen by these officers in Minnesota and the Dako- tas, or even the 25 per cent. in Mon- 1 Dance of 253rd Men. "A" Company, 253rd Queen's Uni- versity Highlanders, held a succoss« ful dance in the City Hall on Thurs- day evening, and the popularity of the men of the company was shown by the large nuiiber who 'attended. Officers' wives were present, and as- sisted in making the affair a hig sue- cess, The band of the R.C.H.A. fur- nished delightful music, and between numbers the pipers of the 253rd gave selections.

THE SPRING THAW, The spring thaw _ is something which is usually referred to as a harbinger, 'with the aceent on the "bing." Almost every winter it is the cus- tom for ice to accumulate in certain 1tates which smuggle up toward the Canadian line and remain in plain view for several months. Every now and then a few feet of snow will fall and hang on like the summer as- 'thma. This causes the earth to, freeze in the direction of the Chinese empire and kills all forms of vege- table life except the rural mail car- rier, The spring thaw fis designed by a thoughtful and beneficient na- ture to overcome all this and also to encourage the sale of. toe-rubbers which pull off in the middle of the street without the. slightést hesita- tion, but have to be pried loose in the front hall with both hands. The spring thaw is: justly looked upon as a great blessing, as it re- moves all of the snow and ice and deposits the femains on the sidewalks | 4c and in the streets. This makes it possible for any stout, faithful hired girl-in- hip boots to wheel the baby cab down town and back without having to wear a cork life preserver. * When snow melts it looks a good deal like water and has the same prying habits, which enable it to hack into a @elighbor's cellar and start a law- suit for damages done to vegetables and other bric-a-brac. If snow could be induced to melt in solid chunks, instead of going out. into the street and ruining a nice dirt road for sixty days, the spring thaw would stand higher in popular estimation than it does. The spring thaw Is sonerally more successful when it is accompanied by a rain storm which sets in ten days previous and causes the residen- tial streets to look as if (they had been patrolled by a six-plow tractor. We owe a great debt to our annual rainfall, but if it were spread out a little more we would all enjoy spring 'better and be able to consume gaso- line Saver, TIRES __ALLSIZES AND MAKES CALL AND SEE SAMPLE OF WORK Tg li SOLD BY LEADING CHEMISTS PRICE INENGLASD, Send stamp dddpess envelope. age fbr poms top No* lity in your LECLEVC Med Co.
