The Department appeals to men unfit for military service, or whofinditimpossible to enlist in the army. Do your "bit" by helping toincrease production of foodstuffs. This is your hour of opportunity. The farmers of Ontario need the help of retired farmers, of men following no occupation (retired), of business men who can spare a portion of their time. We appeal to all who can so arrange their ordinary affairs to plan to help some farmer friend, particularly in seed time and harvest. We wish to announce Our New Spring Models are now ready for your inspection. You are welcome any day to come and see our display. To feed the French soldiers around Verdun, more than 25,â€" 500,000 pounds of food a week were required. This gives a faint idea of the colossal task of feeding an army. Canada and Britain have a huge army of fighting heroes on the line ; every man MUsT have plenty of food, in spite of a world shortage. Upon Canada‘s food production all principally rely.

Just as surely as lack of food is strangling Germany day by day, so plenty of food is winning the victory for the allies. The French armies, forinstance, were never better fed than now, for France cannot forget the awful lesson of 1870â€"the failure of her food supply. To this she attributed the loss of that war.

The price of $600 being asked for the hallâ€"this charge is a fuall brother of the first charge, The fact is, that the hall is unfit as the flooris partly burnt and a year ago when it was used for a recruiting meeting a fire started, and later when anâ€" entertainment was held it was very nearly burnt tothe ground and so the Council decided not to let the hall during the winter months to anvone. The soldiers were told of the unfit state of the hall, but if they put up a security of $600 in the event of a fire, they conld have it free of charge and as often as they pleased, There is no ‘‘nest" to be weaded out at Neustadt. The people are as law abidl01 and loyal as anywhere in the Dominion of Canada, If accommodation were available we would invite the full battalion to make their stay in Neustadt, as we could profit more or less by their presence. "Thestatement that soldiers seeking enlisters will be treated to tar and feathers, is a deliberate falsehood and is unknown to the people of Neustadt. We regret that Col.

Needless to say there was a sumpâ€" tuous wedding dinner, wedding cake and all, needieas to say the reunion was a pleasant and memorable one, bride and groom being in splendid healtb and in addition to the blissful presence of children and grandchildren, congratâ€" ulations from other friends and relaâ€" tives poured in.
