Farm Committees To Mobilize Labor L Proposals For Helping Far- mere In Vital Task of Pro- duction Finally, something practical is proposed to be done to help tht farmers of Ontario in their vital task of producing in war times. The labor shortage is to be tack- led in a business, rather than a holiday, fashion. Mechanical quipmcnt is to be pooled. This prospect cmeiges from an announcement by Hon J. M. Dewan, Minister of Agriculture, that an agricultural war com- mittee is to be organized in each county of the province. Agri- cultural representatives have been at work on the formation of these committees. These county committees wilt mobilize the available labor; they will work out a scheme by which mechanical equipment, plentiful in some sections and compara- thi'ly scaice in others, is put fully to work. This phase of the farm problem is heightened by the probability that it will be difficult to buy new equipment. Full use of existing machines is contemplated. Labor Problem Work on the labor problem is particularly important. Announce- ment of the organization of th provincial county committees, which will deal . ith this prob- lem, among others, is virtually coincident with federal plans to introduce domestic service under the National Mobilization and Re- sources Act. County committees, working through the provincial government, will be able to relate their needs to the general pro- gram of selective service. In any event, just as they propose t keep mechanical equipment mov- ing out to points where it will be of the most good, they can also plan to see that farm labor Is properly allocated and fully em- ployed. In this connection, W. R. Reek, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, s .id : "The mobilization of any labor which may be available and not now upon the farms, should not be overlooked." Signs are not lacking that the farmers, who have been insisting that their position as important factors in a vitally necessary war industry should have greater son- sideration, are about to W recognized. Women In Britain Eagerly Buy Fruit What amounted to a "gold rush" by housewives IB Qreat Britain took place when the Food Ministry released the last of Its imported canned fruit stocks. It was unofficially estimated that 120,000,000 tins were placed en sale. Stocks were allowed to accu- mulate to enable a fairer distri- bution once the release order was decided upon, the government ex- plained. For some time there has been no distribution of canned fruit by wholesalers and retailers held on to what supplies they had and the public went without. All goods Involved In the day's scramble were void on the "points" system, as distinct from the regular ration card. The apricots, pineapples, peach- i and plums came from overseas. The blackberries, Damson plums and gooseberries were home grown. Also on the counters were tinned peas and tomatoes. Offi- cials said the rush was to be ex- pected, but that it was unneces- lary as the volume waa great enough to guarantee that patient hoppers would get a fair deal. There will be no more of these foods once this stock runs out and the knowledge of that faet unquestionably inspired the na- tion's mothers and wivoi to make the best of their last chance to buy them in the least possible time.

Large tins of tomatoes called nine points and smaller ones six points. PRESIDENTIAL MANSION HORIZONTAL 1. 8 U. S. A. presidential mansion. 10 Golden bird. 11 The Up IS Begrime*.

The storm occurred, of course, on the Sea of Galilee, and, undoubtedly, oh the eastern shore; the miracle of casting out demons occurred at Gadara, on the same eastern shore; the miracles of healing, and of raising Jairus's daughter from the dead, occurred in the city of Capernaum, at the north end of the same lake. Stilling of the Storm 23. "And when he was entered into a boat, his disciples followed him. 24. And behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, inso- much that the boat was covered with waves: but he was asleep." Christ's sleep was the sleep of physical exhaustion after hard day's work. It is a sign of hia true manhood, of His toil up to the very edge of His strength; a characteristic of His life of ser- vice, which we do not make as prominent in our hearts as we should. It is also a sign of His calm conscience and pure heart. Appeals to Jcu 25. "And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Save, Lord; we perish." It should be remembered that these disciples, caught in the storm, were fisher- men. They had known storms for vears, and normally nothing would really terrify them on the sea. That they were so frightened that they felt that they were going to die Indicates the terrific severity of the storm which was now upon them. They came to Him for help, not to one another. We may seem to be equals, but when great crises arise the chief person is sought out at once. Not only did the disciples come to the right man but they came with the right request saying, 'not to help us,' but 'save us'; take the whole oase lu Thine hand; we fall back and are nothing. Peace, Be Still 26. "And he saith unto them, why are ye fearful, ye of little faith?" The phrase 'Why are ye fearful?' might more accurately be translated 'Why are ye coward- ly?' Little faith U not want of faith, it is faith burdened by hu- man weakness. If they had had faith, they would have said to themselves that God would not allow the Saviour, and the salva- tion of the world, and the com- munity which has gathered around this Saviour, to perish miserably. "Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm." As easily as Christ commanded the storm and it stood fast at the first, shall He say to the troubled tempest of this world's ills and sorrows, 'Peace! be still.' Marvel of All Agei 27. "And the men marvelled, Buying, what manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?" Christ is still the nmrvel of nil ages. So to-day we marvel at what Christ was able to do when He was on earth, as much as those men, who were ac- tual witnesses of His miracles. We are all voyagers on the sea of life, nnd we shall not get across without storms. Yet if He be with you, it matters little how the waters rage. Only have faith in Him, and you shall see how the danger will flee before you. Two Poe*ied of Demon* 28. "And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two possessed of demons, coming forth out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man could pass by that way." The fact that there were two would aggravate the tragic condition of these men. When two men ol noble charac- ter have communion with each other, each is strengthened; and when two men possessed by evil spirits live closely to each other, they can only bring horror to their already pitiable existences. These two were left alone, men knowing they could not help them. 29. "And, behold, they cried out, saying, what have we to do with thee, thou son of God? art Thou come hither to torment us before the time?" The evil spirits were persuaded that a worse tor- ment than they had ever endured awaited them at some future per- iod, and they were fearful that the Son of God might be about to inflict such torment by antici- pation. Fear of Supernatural 30. "Now there was afar off from them a herd f many swine feeding. 31. And the demons besought him, saying. If thou east us out, send us into the herd of swine. 32. And he said unto them, Go. And they came out, and went into the swine: and be- hold, the whole herd rushed down the steep into the sea, and per- ished in the waters. 33. And they that fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told ev- erything, and what was befallen to them that were possessed with demons. 34. And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart from their borders." It was the people of the country, net the owners of the herds in particular, who re- quested Him to depart from their borders; and although it is likely that the loss of property had something to do with their re- quest, yet ii. was dread of so powerful a Wonder-worker that chiefly moved them. Fear in the presence of the supernatural is common in man; and dislike of the presence of great holiness is natural in those who know that their own lives are out of har- mony with heaven.
