Not spiritually (although even the penalty of remorse may follow your neglect of this national warn- ing) but ye shall hunger in the trying physical sense in which hunger now grips the peoples of Europe. We know "it is difficult to talk to the belly which hath no ears," and it is just as difficult to persuade a person who has a full dinner be- fore him to-day that he may want for food next month. But you may as well let this fact sink into your mind â€" the last people thatCanada and theUnited States will allow to suffer for want of food are our fighting men, and if a sufficient exportable surplus of food cannot be raised and saved by voluntary efforts, then very drastic rationing measures will be enforced. It may astonish you to learn that in 1917 Ontario did not grow enough wheat for its own needs. Conse- quently every Ontario farmer Luke 6: <f5. whose land is suitable, has been urged to sow 5 acres more spriiu: wheat this year so that OniMri£f demand for wheat shall not be ntn at the expense of that portion o| the Western crop that should more rightfully be shipped overseas. For this same reason every house- holder who has a garden or a piece of vacant land is being urged to grow vegetables, because the more vegetables that are grown and eaten in Ontario, the less wheat and meat there will be consumed, and that being so, the Ontario wheat crop should then be sufficient t« feed our own people, and leate more Western wheat and other foods available for export. If you have not yet decided to plant a vegetable garden make up your mind to do so now. You will not regret it. There is still lots of time. Potatoes and beans may be planted up to June 1st and these are the best substitutes for wheat and meat.

Nearer to the Boys An Interview with RadpK Connor »9r PCTEB McARTHUR When I vs. I told that if I went to u ] Iliiih Command had something of the certain ofiSce at a certain hour, 1 would attitude you .suggest. But wbeaevvr have the pleasure of meeting the Rev. thtre was anything to be doue to help- Charles W. Gordon (Ralph Connor;, I the boys the Y.M.C A. was there to do accepted with joy. I wanted to meet it and do it well. By its spirit of un- him for two reasons. I wanted to meet him because he is our most distinguished Canadian novelist, and also because in my boyhood I wriggled on hard, nn- compromising benches, listening to the same stern ministers that he "sat under." I hadlistened to them in both (iaelic and English, and wondered if he would have a fellow-feeling for one who had gone through the same boyish ex- periences. As my eagerness had brought me early to the place of appointment, I had a few minutes to wait, and fell to wondering what he would be like. Un- consciously I associated him with those old-time Free Kirk ministers and won- dered if he would bepke the Rev. John Ross, of Brucefield, or the Rev. Lachlan MacPhcrson, of East Williams. 5?o my surprise was complete when a brisk man in khaki uniform stepped into the room. He did not look epough like those old ministers to make my heart come into my inouth with terror as I faced him. Neither did he look enough like a military martinet to make me click my heels together and come to "attention." And there was absolutely nothing to suggest the producer of " best sellers." It took less than a minute to discover that "Ralph Connor" is, lirst of all, a fellow-human being, who is ready to take a glance at anything from any man's point of view. A reference to the old ministers gave IIS an instant point of contact, and with much laughter â€" kindly and reverent â€" but still laughter â€" we compared notes and exchanged reminiscences of the good men who made the Scotch settlements where we had both been brought up, the lilaces of stern discipline we remembered so well. The hour that had been prom- ised to me was gone and part of another hour with it, before I remembered that the man who arranged the meeting had not done it out of pure kindness. He wanted me to interview Ralph Connor about the war work of the Y.M.C.A. By the time I remembered my duty we had reached a point where I felt that I could ask him about it from a rather daring point of view. I began with a straight question: "What do j'ou think of the work of the Y.M.C.A. in the war? ' He hunched his shoulders slightly and slipped down a trifle in his chair. From the expression on his face I was afraid that he was going to offer an unfavor- able criticism. But his answer made it clear that that wa« not what disturbed him: "It is doing a lot uf work that the uhurch should be doing." Now you can understand why my riucstion caused him a shade of disconi- fort. The minister in him â€" a touch of the old Free Kirk spiritual giiide that made him fee! the responsibilities of his calling â€" made him regret to confess that a purely lay institution is carrying prac- tical Christianity to a point that is as yet impossible for the churches â€" "heat- ing them to it, ' as the soldier boys would say. "Don't misunderstand me." he pro- tested. " The churches and their chap- lains are doing a wonderful work, but the Y.M.C.A., being without a propa- gaixla or dogmas, is able to adapt itself instantly to any needs that may arise, either at the battle-front or wherever the boys may be located. It meet^ them at all hours and in all places with a spirit of good cheer, comfort and help- fulness." "Then you are of the oiiinion that the m.in who .supports the war work of his dnirch is not doing all he can to help the boys?" "Assuredly. The YM.C.A. is .able to go a little Jarlhcr. Though the work of the church may be nearer to the ideal of what I want to see done the Y.M.C.A. gets nearer to the boyi." That struck me as a very important point, and I decided to fnicstion hiin from an aiijjie that might not beplca.sing lo a clergyman. ^ " Vnti know." I insinuated, in a spirit of half confession, "that there are a lot of boys who would be inclined to look at a Y.M.C. .\. at home as a sort of sis.^ificd institution, beneath the notice of youii!,' men of tlic world wJio like to ;ifrei-t a sort of m.iiily w iklncss, Diks the Y.M.C.V. get near to them?" "Vcs. The helpfulness of the Y.M - (\.\. has v.-,',u out. over every obstacle, la the lH'::iiiiiiiis;, the officers of the assuming helpfulness tlie Y.M.C.A. has won the hearts of both the officers and men, no matter what their church con- nections may be or may not be. It gives and it does not ask anything in return. Its sole reward is that it helps freely all who need help. The thing to emphasize about its work is that it gives â€" it is an organized spirit of giving, and it gives without a string to the giving." KAUFH CONKOK "But I often hear comments, not always friendlyâ€" about the prices that the Y.M.C.A. charges for some of its- supplies." " Such comments have no justification. The prices are as near right as they can be made. If there is any profit on the sales to the boys in the camps or back of the liucs, every cent of it goes to pro- vide tbiugs free â€" absolutely free â€" to those who are in the front line trenches. As a matter of fact, the canteens and other organizations under the control of the churches and chaplains have pretty much the same schedule of prices as the Y.M.C. .\." I could not suppress a smile at find- ing my ancient enemy the trust or "Gentleman's .Agreement" appearing in so admirable a form. But I jnade no comment. Instead, I asked a conclud- ing question: " Then I may tell the people that in its war work, especially in the m.itter of creature comforts, the Y.M.C.A. is nearer to the boys than anyone else?" "Yes. It stands nearer to them than anything else except the military organi- zation under vvho.se discipline they live --and die. You .see they are specially organized, trained and outfitted for this kind of Work â€" and they are a mighty spiritual force, too." When leaving him, I stopped to talk to sever.il other clergymen who appeared in the ofhng- â-  it was a place of clergy- menâ€" and he stepped from the room. Shortly afterwards he returned with a copy of bis l.itest book, on the fly leaf of which^lic had written in memory oF the men wc had known in our boyhood: "There were giants in those days." It w ill be cherished as one of the most pri;'edofalittlccollcctioii of autographed first editions. .Xiid with it I shall cher- ish the memory of having spent a couple of hours with a well-known man who is doing a noble work himself and is not afraid to give the fullest credit to other men who arc doing a noble work â€" such as the officers and field workers of the V.M.CA , "who play such a great for- ward line to the Church's backing in tliC great, );real j;ame," as Connor said. f[: Make money m your spare ti<ue tliis Winter by selling Nursery Stock and New Seed Potatoes Tliia is the lime to stait on Spring Hales.
