Quick Hauling to Market Jt T^T think of the time the Ford saves a busy farmer KJtkD 1 in hauling milk to the cheese factory--vegetables, butter, eggs and poultry to market--fruit to the railway station. One fruit grower, last season, made four trips a day to the railway station, a total of 144 miles and carried as high as 72 crates of 11 quarts each on a trip. He couldn't have made more than one 36 mile trip a day with a team. The Ford soon pays for itself in the time it saves the farmer. With help so scarce, every farmer needs to make use of every precious minute of his time. To him the Ford car is a real necessity. Indeed, some farmers tell us that it is doubtful if they could carry on their farm work under present labor conditions if it wasn't for the time the Ford saves them. No farmer need be without a Ford. In fact, the average farmer could afford one if it were double the price. It is as easy to drive as a horse, three times as fast, and costs less per mile to run. Why not order one to-day.

Shortage of Swede Turnip Seed Swede turnip growers are urged this spring to endeavour to secure and transplant a few sound roots to produce seed for themselves and their neighbours. Owing to the abnormal conditions now prevailing there will likely be very little swede seed for planting in the spring of 1918 unless our Canadian swede turnip growers make provision for their own supplies by growing the seed themselves. Canadian supplies of swede and most other field root and garden seeds formerly came from Europe but this source is )w practically cut off.

Sgt. Sam D. Dudley Not a Deserter M. D. No. 3 Kingston, Ontario ' May 21st, 1917, To Whom It May Concern: This is to certify that No. 814884 Sergeant S. D. Dudley, a soldier in the Canadian Expeditionary Force, was returned to Canada on duty and on arriving at Quebec, was given instructions to report at London, Ontario, which order he obeyed, after » Inch he was ordered to \ aiious j arts of Ontario on military duties. He was finally to report to me at Kingston and, from this office, was assigned to No. 3 Special Service Company, with which unit he has faithfully performed his duties as a Sergeant Dudley's conduct has been, at all times, exemplary. He has never attempted to desert His Majesty's forces and it is to be regretted that any suspicion of being a deserter should he laid against him. H. R. WILSON, Lieut.-Col. D. A. A. & Q. M. G. Military District No. 3. The above was issued by the D. A. A. j to dispel rumours which were spreading like wildfire last week to the effect that Sergt. Sam D. Dudley had deserted and '■ left for parts unknown, causing constern- < ation among his many friends, who could < not be made to believe such a move pos- 1 sible on his part. At the same time ] Sergt. Dudley was faithfully attending to t his" duties at Kingston. Friends here ' communicated with him and he arrived ' home Monday evening, putting a quietus i to the annoying minors. The mix-up ! appears to have been caused by tbeeonl'u- f sion of orders as between Kingston and c London, the officer at the latter place * having notified the authorities at Col- £ borne that Sgl. Dudley bad overstayed 1 his leave, etc., while higher authority was s keeping him at Kingston. However, } all's well that ends well. Sergt.
