Yestcrday’s casualty list brought sor-
row to many Canadian homes including an unusually large number in this prov- ince. We are certainly paying the price. “If blood be the price of admiralty Lord God we have paid in full.”
Proportionately, although perhaps, our
Prince Edward Island honour roll is no longer than that of any of our sister prov- inces, it is a terrible toll _from our young manhood. It is the price, however,the price cheerfully offered, willingly paid. To those who have paid the price, the fathers, moth- ers, wives, sisters and brothers, we extend heartfelt sympathy. `” And you, our brothers who, for all oui
praying,
To this dear 'isle of ours come back no
more, _
Who lie' our couiitry’s debt of honour
Paying, _
And not in vain upon the Belgian shore; Till that great day when ai the throne of
Heaven
The books are opened and the jiidgmen'
set,
Your lives for honour and for Empir'
given,
This isle will not forget. ' _.____0.____._.__

Knowing the great need of help to sec-
ure the season’s unusually large harvesl a number of able-bodied citizens have kindly offered to give a day orlmore on any farm requiring their services. Knowing that many others would also co-operate in this-worthy movement centres have beer named throughout the province at whicl persons willing to give their services mai report and those requiring such _may ap ply. These centres are named elsewhere ii this paper.
The movement is a Worthy one and wi
have no doubt that many farmers will av- ail themselves of the assistance offered The harvest is great, the weather not ani too favorable, and we have no doubt thi labourers are few in very many cases. Thi: kindly offer is made especially _to thosi whose sous or other helpers ai'e on militar_\ duty, There are many such, many whost sons or husbands are in the battlefield. To help these is not kindness alone, it is ii duty and a privilege. There are many men in Charlottetown and in the towns and vil- lages of the province who can well afford to take a day off and give what help they can on some farm that needs their help. We have no doubt that cars will be avail- able to take them to the farms on which they will be needed as our car owners have always been ready and willing to assist iii all patriotic movements. -
It is understood that his assistanceiis to
be given free. It has however been sug- gested that many of the farmers would bi glad to hire men or women either by the day or week. It is also quite possible that some of those who may be willing to work may not be able to afford to give their ser- vices free_ In this case those who offer their services might state in their offer that they expect renumeration while farmers who are willing to pay could also state so. _
It is essential, not only for the farmers
but for the province and the Empire that . our whole crop this year be harvested safe- ly-. To help in harvesting it is a patriotic duty in which all who possbly can should give a hand. It is also incumbent upon ev- ery farmer who finds him`se1f handicapped for'help to ask for it as the offer is freely and generously made with the sole object of saving the harvest.

` A FOOD (‘-0NSERV.\'l`ION.
Fliod Conservation has taken a rather
acute't`urn in Toronto restaurants accord- ing ‘to exchanges from _ that city. It ap- pears that conservation has been toorig- idly observed by certain proprietors while
hafglnijhelir customers exorbitant pric- s. cFa l, the Cost of Living Commis
or the prohibition of food profiteering. The Cost of Living/ Commissioner is not authorized under the aforesaid orders-in-
ings himself. He has followed the mode of procedure provided, that of submitting ey- idence to the Attorney-General of the pro- vince in the jurisdiction of which the mat- ter lies,‘and requesting that if the evidence is considered sufficient action be taken.
“Hon. Mr. Lucas, Attorney-General,
should find, we think ,the evidence sub- mitted by Dr. McFall--definite figures as to quantitiesof foods served and prices _charged-sufficient- t__o justify 'prompt act-
ers complained of. The public will be very much surprised if prosecution in thc ‘courts will not confirm the impression oi Dr. McFall and of those who have judged, not by weigh scales, but by their stomach capacity and their pockets. At least the ‘ iiublic is ciitilled to know whether or noi it has been imposed upon, and only pros- ecution in _thc courts can provide this in formation.
Although Dr. McFall -has procured hi: evidence in Ottawa restaurants, that ha;- bcen only for convenience. Similar condi- tions prevail throughout the country. Dr. McFall is of opinion that if a few prosecii- tions were made successfully they would :erve to bringlthe other offenders to time.

COSTLY E(‘0\'0 M Y
While inthese days of expensive living
economy is being both preached and prac- tised 'there is danger of it being carried too lar. With coal at ten dollars a ton there is naturally a temptation to use as little of it as possible. Quite often this little is wasted' because of its inadequacy to afford necessary warmth. At this season of the year, particularly in schools, churches an( public halls, a certain amount of artificia? heat is necessary but there is a tendency to put off heating the buildings until the weather grows distinctly colder. This is dangerous and may easily lead to the in- curring of more serious bills than coal bills. Colds and sickness vei‘y often during the change from summer to autumn, re- sult from imprudent economy in coal. iSchool trustees, church wardens and oth- ers who are responsible for the comfort of those whom it is their duty to look fter. should see to it that economy in fuel las not carried to the extent of endangering health. -_

Religious tolcrence is one of the by-pro-
Llucts of war,” says John R. Mott, who has been selected by seven war relief organi- cations to direct the $170,000,000 drive for funds in November. How could it be itherwise when the' army, Y. M. C. A., Y. |W. C. A., National Catholic War Council l .ind Knights of Columbus, Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp Community Service, American Library Association and Salva- ion Army all work shoulder to shoulder 'or the benefit of our soldiers and sailors? 'latholic and Hebrew, Protestant and ion-church members are nudging elbows in the trenches and the cantonments. So 'ire the war relief works of all faiths and :reeds, and they are learning to know each other, to respect each ther, to work to- gether as men and woiiien without jeal- iusy, without friction.
Hence their motto in the next drive,
“All for one, and one for all,” will result in more perfect team work, more driving energy toward their patriotic object-to make the National Army and Navy the best cared for and the most contented in the world.--New York Tribune. I

There has emerged one new and remark- able feature in, our literature during the war-the wonderful production of verse- and the desire of the public for it. Pain is endured, passions are wrung, dormant senses are quickened and beauty in strange places is perceived. The essence of life is discovered. So the human spirit has craved for new formslof expression, emancipated from the old, dull moulds, something to convey the people’s mood, their ecstacies, griefs and sorrows, their
heavenly hopes. So those who had, per- haps, scarce y glanced at the poetry of their tongue betook themselves to the
ploetic form to state their new emotions. ot for an age has so much poetry--and good poetry among it-been produced, and-never so much_of it boughtand read;

SHEEP RAISING IN
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND

_'_' There Should be sheep on every farm, because it is essential for the cqinforts of our boys at the Front to have warm clothing and there \‘ 0° 0th?" S“,b_3F““‘-‘e th°t'9a“ provide lt” but wool. To-dav we are approximately 20,000,000 |05--Sl10I¢`-lil fh¢,f€_€1uire- ments of our Canadian Army, this sh'orta8¢ ha? f° Pe ‘mP°f¢ed» °°“5¢q“°i!"Y the money that is going out for this purposelcould be retained if there were more sheep raised. ~ -'i 1
' Sheep is the most profitable live stock on the farm, H0_P_S 3 l0ng w_ay insolving the labor question, as the care ‘they require is small co_rr_ipared with other live stock and the returns greater. In going into the sheep business its well ti remember that it costs no more to raise a pure bred sheep than it does a grade and it will pay better as there is and and will be for some years to come a better market lor pure bred stock. _
It would not be surprising to see Canada exporting pure bred stock to Europe aI`ter_ the _w_ar,
as lhere has been a great depletion of sheep during the War. Therefore the time to begin fulsmli them is now, when you can get them through the policy of the Live Stock Branch. Ottawa, assi _ted by the Provincial Government. Pure Bred lamb rams at $_25-00 and yegirlinss at $30.00 breeding ewes will (305: from $25_00 to 35_00 accordingto their maturity. As this is a war measure the offer may not occur again. To a beginner the first thing io consider is what breed of Sheep you would like and what would be the most profitable ? Th -re are_ sevcial breeds _but Iani of the opinion that any of iho Down breeds or Cheviot is the most Suitable for ihis climiiie. being close inthe wool they will withstand the rain and cold better th in §¥1Y of the long W00| Sheep- .

Next is the winter quarters, it is not necessary to out up an exuenswe bulldmii but (JUG
should be taken to have it well ventilated and free from draughts and kept dry, _the ii eep given lots of exercise. This can be done by having a feed rack at each end of the building or yard, so they would require to walk about for lheir feed.
A building 180 square feet would house _10 sheep or 18 square feet for every sheep, exclusive
of pens, racks and passages. Next i_s the feeding, a -feed that has been found profitable and _good consists of 2 lbs of hay, 2 lbs of turnips and 14 lb of grain per day the e_xp_ense of this feed is 2 3-4 per_day or 412 cents per headfor their viinter feed. The question is will it pay. We will take to illustrate : Two farmers decide to get 10 pure bred ewes and one ram- as one ram lamb would be si1fii:ierit: for the 20 ewes, this will cost approximately $35 each for _the ewes and ram $25. The ram would cost to each farmer $12.50 which would make a` total expenditure for stock of $362,50, feed
Xyiouég cost $42.25, summer pasture $5.00, interest on money invested at 6 per cent $24.60, a total of 4. _ _ ‘
The returns from this flock would be say 10% fleeces, average 7lbs. 73 1-2 lbs at 70c, 51.45 thi
average price for wool that was graded this year was over 751-1! cents, thin the lamb crop would no be less than 10 at an average price of 30 dollars, would give a return_of 300. a lo*a_I return for your investment of 43l_35‘on 351.45 and you would still have your fiundation flock, which wouId_h_ave_its initial value. Those figures are approximate, but they are sufficient to show that sheep raising is a
