He lives at Mansfield, South His “repeater” is one of the best cartoons- drawn by our amateurs. Look at it carefully. You will laugh. There is a cat fight. The Big Interests have a cat, the “old gang,” fighting the fanmers’ cat, “The League.” But here's the joke: BIG BIZ ONLY HAS ONE CAT. But the farmers have all kinds of cats. The League is nine-lived! in the fight, and the gang cat is bound to lose in the end. Notice the string of farmers coming up with extra cats, in case the one fighting gets the worst of it! But one cat is enough, don’t you think? George Scarbo, Cass Lake, Minn.,, takes the regular weekly prize of a dollar. His cartoon is called “The Widow’s Mite.” The farmer is the widow, and her mite is “sons for the army” and “farm products"-—she is offering both, all she has, to Uncle Sam. But Big Biz is very rich and is offering only a few small If one gets licked, there is a new one to put’ coins. Read the Bible story of the Widow’s Mite if you don't already know it.

B, ANDERSON._ o PAGE FIFTEEN o _ ADVERTISEMENTS We Must “Follow-Up” The story of the Gallipoli with- » drawal is a tale of inadequate sup- ‘port. Like Salamanders clinging to the red-hot bars of a fiery fur- nace, the boys of Australia and New Zealand clung to the slopes of Anzac. Desperately, heroically they clung. No troops under any circumstances ever displayed greater soldierly qualities or upheld- more sacredly the best traditions of England’s Army. But they had to withdraw because the “follow- up” was not there. To some of us it has been given to march with the columns of troops that go to France. And to others it is given to wave God- speed. But he who marches and he who stays is equally a citizen One Policy of the world’s mightiest republic and equally responsible for its suc- cessin this greatest of undertakings. Then let us at home turn from our flag waving and consider how necessary we are, how useful we must be. Those who go to fight cannot hope to win by naked bravery and we cannot hope to " win unless every individual at home does all he can. no Gallipoli.

No farmer sows wild oats : willingly, but only because unable to clean it out of his ceed grain. It is not difficult to take this robbing weed out of wheat and heavy barley; but to separate wild oats from tame oats and light barley and rye—‘Aye, there is the rub.” After trying all other:separators, take this same grain and lse the HOILAND WILD OATS SEPARATOR; you will see how well it will -pick out every wild oat by the whiskers, whether large or small.
