The worker bee~permits no star boarder to loaf around and consume the product of her labour. The hen is not like the bee in asserting her rights. If she were, then her verdict would" be, Rooster you must die. A There are over two million ve hundredl thousand roosters of the various breeds of chickens kept for breeding purposes by the people of the country. Of this vast army perhaps one hundred and fifty thousand` have a right to live for another year of service. One hundred and fty thousand may be good enough as individuals and in breeding to beused in the increase of their kind. What of the two million three; hundred and fty thousand that are usu- ally permitted toilive, birds that consume feed, worry the hens and reduce the qual- ity of market eggs? "I"l-.n ....n4- PI: LL- P.....J ...... ........J L.-- ..... -v_y n nlsuulltvv uaauo The cost of the feed consumed by an ordinary rooster is_about `twenty cents per lmonth. Can you afford it?

The two million, three hundred and fty thousand odd, unnecessary male birds are costing the country about three and a half million dollars per year while enjoying life. These unnecessary birds are at the "same time doing about ten million dollars dam- age to the egg-producing business. If "every person `owning a rooster would manage him as a male bird should be managed the poultry industry would be benetted by additional" prots many mil- lion of dollars. - uvu vuvu, \-ll.5\;\A L-l\III\II-Io The girl assented, and soon Lorion.was leading her_ through the mazy shut-in wa- terways, whose uses to the _layman are wrapped in mystery.

In view of the serious food shortage facing the world, it is doubly desirable at this time. Experts declare that under normal conditions it will take at least three years to replenish the world food stocks. In the meantime there is danger that many will want and go hungry. Ontario has been bountifully blessed with a number of varieties of sh, all of which make good leating. Whitesh, salmon trout, herring, lperch, pickerel, pike, burbot, carp and cat- sh, these are all commercial sh, caught in our lakes and rivers, but unfortunately sent mostly to foreign markets. It is the problem of those in authority -"today to make the available food goas far as pos- sible. If we used more sh it would les- `sen the consumption of meat and grain, and if the dealers of Ontario had enough of this commodity to handle, the price would come down and there would be one article at least on the daily menu that would show a saving to the thrifty house- holder. It _is just a cold problem of dol- lars and cents that the Organization of Resources Committee of Ontario is seeking to place before the people. By taking ad- vantage of this source of supply which Providence `has placed at our doors, we will accomplish a two-fold purpose, save other food for the men overseas and save dollars for ourselves.

I want you to understand that. Since I ' havefto trust you, I may as well trust'you altogether. - I had no intention of -seeing my daughter again, when I x-st made the bargain with Mrs. Brand. Indeed, I set myself the task of forgetting that I had a daughter. I only wished to remember that Peter was my son. _At rst I correspond- ed with Mrs. Brand, because I wished to know if the child were\attacked and car- ried away by some infantile complaint. But she ourished, and on her eighth birth- day I intimated to her guardian that I wished the correspondence to close. It. was no good my having news of her after that. Perhaps . I thought that the in- stincts I had striven to eradicate would be aroused in_ me if I continued to hear of her. And I already had made'Peter the centre of my world. When the child was eight years old` I renewed my offer to Mrs. Brand to provide an income for her. But she again refused in favor of a lump sum of money which she said she would invest, enjoy the interest of it, and leave the cap- -3 ital to the girl when she died. Altogether she had a considerable sum of money from me, and yet the other day I discoveredvthat since her death, the'girl has been depen- dent on her efforts `to maintain -herself. 1117 . uuAll' \l1l AIUI vllunlo vu lllulullunll nu.-Anvil Now cornes.the part that concerns you. I had, I may as well tell you, forgotten all about the girl. She no longer existed for me. Peter was my son--I really looked upon him as such. All the events of long .ago, if I remembered them at all, I re- membered as a dream. Then one day, a little while ago, as I came along one of the corridors in my office, I met the girl who was the very living image of my dead wife. I was so startled that I lost control of myself. Lorion and another man were standing by. I rushed to them and asked them who the girl was. They must have thought me mad, for I have no doubt that I displayed the fact that I was deeply agi- tated. They told me that she was a new typist, engaged by Macpherson, our ship- ping manager the man who was talking toALorion. I `was so unnerved that I passed it off by saying that she reminded me of somebody. ' 45v... 1...... ..4.'.........

A (if; ', `C ' ` THE. IANNIE EXAMINER IND SATURDAY MORNING put: in ` carried the out The appeal which is being made by the Organization of Resources Committee of Ontario to the people of the Province to use more sh as an article of diet is time- ly and important. The drain of the war, due to many causes, upon the food re- sources of the world has caused a serious shortage, which will be felt more keenly unless something is done to stop the steady drafts on the food storehouses. Those who have studied the. situation are alive to the need for conservation on the one hand and to increase the supply on the other. One of the many ways in which this can be accomplished is to get the people to use more sh. In Ontario the people have been more or less indifferent to the great resources of sh that the lakes and rivers of the-Province contain. Only `about 10 per cent. of the sh caught in Ontario waters every year are consum- ed in the Province; the remainder go to the United States where there is an in- creasing demand for them. To use more sh as a staple article of diet is to lessen the consumption of meat and grain, and consequenflyrhold down the prices of these commodities, and also leave a greater s r- plus for export to the Mother Country a d the Allies. This is one phase of a prob- lem that presents many interesting fea- tures, and as every effort of the nation will be required in the months to come as the war becomes more drawn out`, conser- vation and production will be measurably important with men and munitions.
