People are apt to think with the Sountiful crops this year we should have an abundance, But—one of the vital needs of the time is that America ould provision France and Engiand. Even in normal times land does not raise enough food to feed herself. And are far from normal times. And a large part of the od growing country of France has been temporarily taken EEDING q France and England need food and we should furnish ‘it, We can, if we will use our supplies here at home with “reasonable prudence. : Why is it our imperative duty se our allies are holding the nders while we make ready to tion and for liberty. the necessary time to prepare.

It has seen, since day, many a newspaper and many a public man who posed equal suffrage in pioneer days, swing around to advocacy. And so we say: “Well done, women of New Let the good work continue.” SONING Some of our regular troops have just been put in “a sector” of the Flanders front, and London military ion is that “within four or five months they should be- seasoned troops.” These regulars of ours landed in Europe four months so that, according to British opinion, it will have taken m eight or nine months to become seasoned troops. If takes that long to season our professional soldiers, how will it take to season the raw material now in our en- pments? Not less than a year, surely, and a whole lot can happen in Europe in a year.
