Well, shoe could write to him care of the War Office without much hope, care of his club and his bank without much more, and caro of his regiment, And that reminded one of the horrible fact that he'd no longer have a club or a regiment. But still, they'd send on letters if thoy had any address to which to for. ward them--and that was just what they wouldn't have. Meanwhile, what could she dot? How could she get in touch with him, since she hadn't the slightest faith or hope that letters would reach him? And then came the second blow --far worse--though that had not seemed possible, General Ffoulkes had written a number of letters to various peo- ple who might be in a position to give him further information on the subject of the tragedy ot Richard Wendover.

Ottawa Publishes Farm Account Book For several years modern farm- / ing has been too complicated a business to be carried out by sim- ply making a few important notes and carrying the other details in the mind, so the Farm Account ook, which was designed by the Dominion Department of Agri- culture to provide farmers with a simple set of forms for record- ing commercial transactions, has been found very useful. The book requires no specjal knowledge of accountarcy. It is simple and efficient. The 1943 edition ap- pears in revised form, and, while covering all farm operations as formerly, will be found helpful in preparing official statements which farmers have to make from time to time. The Farm Account Book may be obtained from the King's 'Printer, Ottawa, . at "the nominal price of 10 cents.
