Even back from the trenches, as they went to sleep at night, they could hear the patter of German b131- lets against the walls of the buildina. At the time of writing Col. Currie was the only Canadian M.P. in the trenches. Doing Good Shootinv. A letter frozn'Cc-l. John A. Currie, M.P., received in Ottawa recently, contains some thrilling references to the terrific fighting along the west- ern front. He wrote on April 6, when the Canadians were resting a few miles back from the firing lines. According to the miners, a barrel of flour, 196 pounds, .is made from 4 1-2 bushels of wheat, and accord- ing to- the bakers, 187 standard loaves of 24 ounces each, are made from one barrel of flour. The a'ntici- pated carryings on the Canadian Northern this season, then, repre- sent 12,611,111 bushels and 2,358,- 2777,757 loaves of bread. If this were divided in London each indi- vidual in the Imperial city would receive 325 loaves. W'hile they were in the trenches, says Col. Currie, the fighting was in- cessant, shells by day and rifle fire at night. The fight at Neuve Cha- pelle was very hot. The Canadians were not in the thick of it. “but the rifle and artillery fire sounded like Niagara.” The Canadian artillery were doing good shooting, and he adds that the Canadian troops would as soon trust their own artillery to shoot over their heads as the British batteries. The bulk of the supplies of Cana- dian wheat for export are drawn each year from the wheat fields of the prairie provinces. The total sup- ply may be computed by a study of the carryings of the railways. Dur- ing the crap year 1913-14, the Cana- dian Northern alone handled from the territory served by its western lines, 47,295,000 bushels. Estimat- ing the increase this year at 20 per cent. the C.N.R. should haul out ap- proximately 56,750,000 bu’shels of wheat from the provinces lying be- tween the Great Lakes and the Rocky Mountains. That quantity of wheat, converted successively into flour, and into standard loaves of bread, would feed Greater London, with its estimated population of 7, - 252,963, for more than four and a half y.ears I In facilitating the expansion of l the various railway companies in the Dominion during the last thirty years, the successive Governments, federal and provincial, have enabled Canada to take up the burden of a greater production in this year of the Empire’s peril, Canada is measuring up to her advertised destiny as the “Granary of the Empire,” or, more emphatic still, “Bread Basket of the World.” The prophecies of leaders of thought for three decades are on the verge of fulfilment. The large exportable surplus of the wheat fields in Canada will go to feed a fair proportion of the dependent mil- lions of England, and probably, the war-harassed Belgians as well. The railway lines which have been con- structed east and west and north and south throughout the country have made her present position pos- sible. Without these essential traf-l fic arteries the Dominion would have been merely a helpless spectator! while the greatest war in history rumbled through to a conclusion. Canada’s most. important contribu- tion to the cause of Empire is in wheat and flour and bread. I The lawmakers in London, as a1 matter of policy, have allowed noth- ing to interfere with the building up ‘ of an all-powerful navy, and they' have steadfastly ignored the pro- tests of Englishmen who have con- tended that Great Britain would be! in an impossible position if a war should develop with a powerful maritime power. There were nu- merous men in England who believ-l ed that in the event of an important European struggle involving Great Britain, “the hunger of London would dictate terms of peace.” But; the Admiralty were convinced that the sea power would keep all the routes open for foodstuffs. The lands in the British Isles which might have been devoted to the growth of! more wheat were left as before, and the investors of Britain by placing their funds in the bonds of railways in Canada, in South Africa, in Aus-’ tralia and in New Zealand, where' vast stretches of fertile country re- mained to be opened up, encouraged the production of a steady supply of foodstuffs which might be called up-’ on in case of emergency. The under- water craft of Germany have failed to throttle the shipping of Great Britain. Her ships come and go al- most as they please. And the re--l sources of wheat lands, in them-; selves many times the area of the British Isles are available for the need of the people of Britain. Canada's Claim 15 Proving to Be No Empty Boast. The present conflict in Europe has demonstrated beyond the possibility of doubt that the maintenance of; Britain’s superiority at sea, and the; expansion of the wheat areas in British ID0minions, have been linked together as basic factors in the con-i sideration of plans for Imperial of- fence and defence. !

The monthly meeting of Varney Grange was held on Friday ev- ening, a good representation be- ing present. After the usual bus- iness of the meeting was com- pleted arrangements were made. to have Dr. Ernest Leeson lead in, a discussion on any sub- iect of his own. choice, which at that date was not settled upon. 'Dr. Leeson not being present, provision was made, in the event of him not responding to the re- quest, t-o take up the subject for discussion of municipal matters in general and the present system of levying statute labor in parâ€" ticular. The latter, to our way Of thinking, is a most glaring in- iustice to the poor man, and should be remedied Without delay.
