W. HEARST, Prime Minister. In view of the fact that the crops are ripening rapidly. and the rush of harvest will soon be here, the following message has been sent by Premier Hearst to the mayors of urban municipalities, requesting the release of corporation em- ployees. It reads as follows: TO RELEASE HELP FOR HARVEST 63 years, and is still vigorous. We wish it continued prosperity. On Thursday last the Bowman- ville Statesman entered its 40th year of publication under the guidâ€" ance of Mr. M. A. James. who is still at the helm and likely to re- main there for. another 40 years. Though we know but little of the paper. we have known Mr. James for a long time, and he always here the reputation of being a good local newspaper man. This brings us back in memory to the fall of 188:5. when we entered his ollice for the first and only time. Mr. James was then a comparatively young man and was engaged in running off The Statesman on a Prouty press, if our memory isn‘t playing tricks on us. This was several years beâ€" fore we picked up the editorial quill to earn our bread and butter and eke out an existence as a counâ€" try publisher. Mr. James has al.” ways been a man of high ideals‘ morally, and “Bowmanville the Beautiful” is a better town to-day because of his influence for good. The paper has been in existence for Mr. T. W. Brock, Field Secretary of the Organization of Resources Committee, was in town yesterday and spent a short timein our sane- tum. He is anxious to see a united effort on the part of agriculturists to increase their cereal output for 1918, and to conserve in the best way possible the products of the present year. For the immediate world’s need, and to feed the allied‘ countries, we have to furnish from this side of the Atlantic a when! output of 160 million bushels, and this is not in sight unless we take from our present supply what. un- der normal conditions, would be used for home consumption. The men who are fighting: must be fed, and unless we substitute for ex~ portable products the products of a more perishable nature. we’ll fail in the attainment of our object. To conserve our present food suppl} and to eliminate all waste is the imperative duty of every loyal subject. It is further enjoined on all agâ€" riculturists to sow a larger acreage of fall wheat to increase the grow- ing need of 1918. which, it is believ ed, will be more needed after that year‘s crop than at the present. The world‘s output under normal conditions in any one year is nev- er much greater than the world’s need, and with so much of the world at war. and almost entirely unproductive, there need be no fear of over-production, and good prices are absolutely certain. ’HE DURHAM CHRfiNiC'LE FORTY YEARS AT THE HBLM W IRWIN, Editor and Proprietor SOW MORE FALL WHEAT Thursday, August 9th, 1917‘ PAGE 4. in: the lust three. )‘931‘5 the present government has carried on the war for Canada, no mqtter the blunders and mistakes. for those can be dealt, with afterthe war, I think it. would be a wrong thing at this juncture t0‘ entrust the work to any .other man than~the present Prime Minis- ter.

BORDEN SHOULD REMAIN M5355 We have nothing to boast of a- round home, and the slap hurts us as well as many other citizens. The Mayor and Reeve are the two in town who do the greatest amount of travelling, and might be charged with making the statement, but THE CHARGE IS TRUE. There has been considerable talk of late about the cleanâ€"up move- ment in \Viarton and other places. We have always tried to uphold- our own town, but when it comes down to neatness, taste, and general cleanliness, we have very little to say. We hate to say what some people tell us, but we were actually told the other day by a citizen that Durham is the dirtiest place of its size that he knows of, and he says travellers have told him the same} thing. ' i We need conscription, a selective conscription, and we should have had it long ago. Then we may have the weeding-out process, when the non-producers may be transferred to the producing ranks and the eli- gibles transferred to the fighting line. Conscription is not going to interfere with the necessary activ- ities of production. These are ne- cessary, and will be safeguarded. Works of a non-essential and non- productive nature will be the hard- est hit, and may be forced to sus- pend operations for the period of the war. The laborers will not suffer loss. There will be a trans- placement into lines that are es-‘ sential.
