dancing on one of ciinndns finest dance floors to a smart igpiece band history may record of this war that there was a bottle neck in food during the fall and winter of 19434 it seems that mother nature is play ing a hand against us so far this spring at least this is a thought that percolates through my brain this monday morning as i loll around the barns mournfully looking out at the downpour of rain ind there is that ten acres of plowed land wait ing for the grain that i cannot get sown now it is so wet the horses would go deep in the mud it i put them on i am almost desperate enough to try anything i was tempted yesterday sunday to slip in that ten acres mrs josh raised the digglns when i suggested it so it didnt get done now she doesnt want to talk this morning at all and says that after this im to go on and not ask her opinion oh woman well if we dont have crops here i hope other parts will be better off because we got to have that pig feed or else britons all wont have the stomach to fight the way they do did you ever think how those pigs go into battle just like the guns and bullets the hogs go off to market afwr the farmer has worried and sweated to get them ready the packing plant takes over and transforms the pig into meat long lean sides cured and packaged in jute sacks for their trip across the ocean an english housewife takes her coupons down to the store and gets a weekly allowance of four ounces of bacon per person per week in the house down each side of the wiltshire side there is a ribbon of lettering which says canada the english housewife must certainly thank the canadian farmer every time she gets her bit of bacon then we follow another lot of bacon shipped overseas it goes to the military camps for the men un der canvas and after one of those nerveracking raids over germany the boys come in for breakfast and are served a hot meal including canadian bacon the stuff that gave them the stamina to go through the ordeal up in the clouds every flier knows that bacon sticks different to anything else they eat if they couldnt get that canadian bacon there is nowhere under the sun that a substitute could be ob tained that is my answer to the argument at home about taking all the labor out of canada for the army they can get army personnel elsewhere but they cant get cana dian bacon sometimes i think that the farm ers arent given enough credit for the part they play in the war its iather hard to see a bunch of pigs rooting around in the field and then visualize the part they play in the war when you hear a plane zoom ing overhead you begin to think rathsr wishfully that it would be great to be up there there is gla- mous and excitement then you think of your own meagre job of sweat and grim with no honors at tached then you really think how dull your work is well well wake up old man its ten oclock and still raining but there are a lot of chores and odd jobs to be done since it is raining and standing here

cost the purchaser 1500 no wonder everybody is starving for who could pay such prices and who could guard goods in the stores or produce on the farm if it has such value behind it no wonder 6000 dead

page two children verse 7 brotherly kindness and charity the more we know god and become like him the more we shall value our brethren in christ and so manifest toward them that kindly fraternal spirit which is one of the proofs of the new birth john 31011 charity or love is the culmination of all the full flower ing of faith gal 66 it is far more than a kindly affection it is an unselfish concern for the blessing of others and is characterized by a desire charitably to cover their faults 1 cor 13 verse s neither barren idle nor unfruitful actually to be barren and unfruitful are one and the same so that this would seem to be tautological expression but the revised version makes it clear he who abounds in all of the graces mentioned before will be neither idle nor fruitful but will ever increase in loving service and devotion to christ and will be used in blessing to those with whom he comes in con tact verse 9 cannot see afar off he who does not thus grow in grace and knowledge loses the keenness of his spiritual sight and becomes myo pic he becomes occupied largely with his immediate affairs and has no breadth of vision thus failing to enter into gods great plan for world- evaugelization and the responsibility given to each one to reach out to the things that are beyond moreover he is inclined to forget what grace has done for him and to undervalue his former deliverance from his old sins verse 10 give diligence to make your calling and election sure it is an exhortation to make manifest in their lives the fact that they were among the elect of god called by his grace in doing this they would never stumble verse 11 so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom all faithful service to christ down here will be awarded richly when the kingdom is displayed in power and glory this is not the same as the fathers house all have the same welcome there john 1413 but the kingdom is that sphere in which we shall be associated with christ when he reigns over a redeemed universe our position then depends very largely upon our devotedness now preston home open majfc jjtsaasujskxaam continued from front page place

grade of butter that commands an excellent demand the service we render our cream shippers is of a twofold nature one is that our trucks will collect the cream directly from your farm and the other is that you have the privilege of making your own deliveries direct to the creamery for which we pay you an extra two cents per pound of butterfat another recent contribution to this community is the
