NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 1916. 5 SENDING SOLDIERS * 0UT T0 THE FIELDS | This Is Only Solution of Crop Sit- | uation in Canada Bowen & Co. (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) ‘Winnipeg, Canada, April 8.—An of- ficial order extending to every non- commissioned officer and man on ac- tive service in Canada leave of ab- | sence not exceeding one month to go | out on farms, has solved Western Canada's problem of finding help to plant this year’s grain crop, in the opinion of government officials here. Under the provisions of the order, the soldlers will receive full pay for their service in the army in addition to the payment received from farmers for their work. Free transportation from camp to farm will be providea by the government to the extent of 300 miles and operation of the mili- tary order will begin as soon as con- | ditions permit of working the land. Twenty-seven thousand men are un- der arms in military district No, 10 and the proportionate number who can go out to plant the crop should | be adequate for the provinces of Mani- toba and Saskatchewan. Units farther west will take care of Al- berta. province. To prevent soldiers taking unfair advantage of the order, the authorities added certain regulations, one of them stipulating that leave of absence would be given for no other purpose than to aid in the agricultural work and that the man applying for leave must present proof that the offer of farm work has been obtained. Returning from the field, the men must porduce a certificate from the persons for whom they worked; each certificate must be countersigned by the signature of a clergyman or two responsible residents in the vicinity ot the land on which the work was done. Premier T. C. Norris of Manitoba already has begun active work for carrying out the order. He said that Western provincial governments would co-operate in the distribution of men.

If you want the clearest, hottest flame with complete freedom from smoke and odor, you should be care- ful about what goes into the reser- voir of your oil stove. All Kerosene is not alike by any means. And the good kind is enough better to be decidedly worth asking for. Say ‘‘Socony”’ (So-CO-ny) to the grocer’s boy when he comes to take your oil can. In that way you can be sure of getting reliable fuel— Socony Kerosene Oil, which is the Standard Oil Company ot New York’s best kerosene.

It does not make wick crust—you do not need to clean the burners so often and you get a bigger money’s worth of hest.
