All farmers know the value of keeping up the strength and fertility of the land. And cspeciall- is this of prime importance now on ijecount of the high prices to which land lias climbed. With land selling at $300.00 to $400.00 an acre no one can afford, through neglect, to lose from five to ten bushels of grain per acre, when by protecting or renewing their land with a covering of straw or manure they could avoid it. 1 he "One Man Straw and Manure Spreader" will solve the problem.

Through the medium of drastic fuel regulations, however, it is hop ed by the authorities to tide the city over the critical period with a mini mum of suffering. These regulations are far-reaching and include among other things the closing of the theatres, clubs, lodge sessions and schools (both public and parocUialt and the limiting of churches to three hours' service a week, while retail establishments will be open from 10 to f only. The packing houses and dozens of industries employing men which are rated as "non-essential" in the pres ent critical situation will he forced to suspend indefinitely and as a result many will be thrown out of employ ment or reduced to short hours and shorter pay.
