Mr. Boyd, who knows some- | thing about farming, and likewise the ! mind of the average farmer, made ay proposition at a meeting the other day, which the Whig regards as very practical It is' that the boys of our day be given object lessons, in the city, and in' certain departments of field work, so that later on the farm, | they may be of greater usefulness. | The city, under direction of its agri- | cultural committee, is plowing up. the vacant land. Some of the boys in re- | lays could attend the plowmen and | see a work done which the older ones | at least, may be given a chance later | to make good. They could be trained | in harnessing horses, in driving them, | and in other duties, and they will cer- | tainly not disappoint those who trust them. | Ald. Nickle submitted another good "idea. There are seventy women on ithe Patriotic Fund, and drawing , monthly allowances. The question is, can these women not be utilized in | some way, in doing homsework, with which they are familiar, while the { women of the farms devote themsel- | ves to duties in the open? The bene- | ficiaries of the Patriotic Fund will not, in any event, suffer. The Central | Committee has rules that the reci- | pients of bounty from the Fund will not be deprived of any benefits they are receiving by reason of their de- votion to a service, which under the | circumstances is quite patriotic. | The apprehension of a good scar- | city, which is based on impressive facts, is doing some good. It is ma- | king men and women realize that it is { incumbent upon them to do all they 'possibly can, in persistent labour, in order to give an assurance of the greater production. The need of if is being emphasized daily. BOYS ON FARMS. The United States: is going into this war as if it expected results. The | government realizes that it cannot use its millions in the army and navy and munition factories, without causing a great shortage of labor upon the farm. It is doing what some people in Canada regard as absurd; it is appeal- ing to the school boys, and expects to 0| the Board of Trade remarked at cation of those who are agriculturally | {iH employed, and the request will surely be ¢omplied with. Some one has cynically observed that the schodl boys cannot do much. |i Théy-caninot, eh? Well, of the one hundred and twenty-five from the Collegiate Institute who have enlisted in the summer service on the farm, the majority have already engaged with farmers, dnd know where they are to go and what they are tb ex- pect, J The school boys, as a member of its last meeting, are quite astute, and know how to make a bargain as well as most of their fathers. EDITORIAL NOTES. Why should the temporary clerks of the federal government get better pay than the qualified and permanent Lclerks? Is that the way to promote the efficiency of the civil service? Some of the famous band*® who signed the anti-reciprocity" proclama- tion in 1911 have repented of their action. They~ are supporting free wheat Others stand stood six years ago. Members of what party now? The conservative touters are will- ing that the policy of free wheat should prevail during the war, as a war policy. Reciprocity in this re- spect has come to stay. The anti-re- ciprocity party of 1911 is dead, and can never be resurrected. Ah, a new pension scheme is being projected and as a result of the en- quiries of the new parliament com- mittee. Thanks to Mr. Pardee, the Liberal Whip, who brought a lament- able condition of things -before the federal parliament, ----ryTT Hindenburg waa a great man be< cause he won a Wotable battle in the long ago. He wa§ called from his re- treat in Germany to save his coun- try, and it looks as if he with so many others will be relegated presently to the retreat of all the distingushed has-beens. Sir George Foster admits that the case of a returned soldier, incapaci- tated by injuries from earning a live- lihood in Toronto, is deserving of a larger pension than $96 a year. The poor fellow must starve on such an allowance at the. present. prices of food. The Brockville Times revives the Toronto News' idea that the Canadian parliament, or the conservative party, should petition the imperial govern- ment for an extemsion of the life of the: Canadian parliament. The im- perial parliament is subject to occas- fonal bumps, but it is not looking for anything whichsthe Hon. Bob Rogers may suggest. Elihu Root, a republican, is will- ing to try out the Wilson government during the war. Good. "So far as the government conducts war. as a great national enterprise it will deserve the support of the republicans. When it imitates the Canadian government through its war department, in dis- tributing large contracts as spoils, it can only look out fof squalls.
