Among these, and doubtless to be repeated by the‘Pat- riot until some new slander is invented to take their place, is the so called “falsifying of accounts,” by which $15,000 paid to the Patriotic Fund at the begin- ning of last year was charged in the Public_ Accounts of the previous year. 'l`his was one of the tnare’s I nests found by .\lr. Bell and over 1nany»hours of the time of the legislature stultilied himself and disgusted his best friends. No one in the province cared a continental whether this amount was S’ paid at the last of the year or the first of the next year. \\`hat they did care aboutwas whether the amount was paid and properly charged up and Premier illathieson had satisfied them on both these points in a full and explicit cugilanation at the time, an explanation that 1\ was perfectly satisfactory to every person in the pro- lt viucc includingi the then Leader of the Opposition. d The Patriot and ;\lr. Bell and everybody else knows |- there was no “falsifying of the accounts," but it suits A the Patriot to roll this slander as a s\veet morsel under f _its political tongue and, we presume, it thinks its rea- ders are sufficiently ignorant to bel.eve it. _\nother slander which it is perpetuating is the al- s lcged "lending without authority of $10,000 to the trus- l tees of the Dalton Sanitorium” amattenvhich was fully l and satisfactorily explained in the legislatureandwhich e err-r_\'lio><<-l DAIRY dNDUSTRY Elsewhere in this issue we publish a letter from Ir. R. E. Spillet on the dairy business of the province Ir. Spillett admits that, while muchof our dairy pro- uct is of excellent quality and compar'es very favou- ably with that of any of our sister provinces, things re not just as they ought to be and he lays the blame or this on recent innovations in manufacturing. Vhatever the cause may be it must be'_ faced and re- oved and we have no doubt that the Dairymen's As- ociation see to it that any prestige we may have ost will be speedily restored. A correct diagnosis is he first step towards improvement,`and a thorough mamination of the methods, the plant, the milk and hi: qualifications in connection with the different fac- ories will supply the necessary information to \vork pon to produce better results. We have no doubt that any trouble that may exist n this connection arises, as in too many other cases, '_ ` _ 1 the carelessness of the few. The great majority of For Sale Beer & ur farmers are careful as well as solicitous for the r---»-§ I ¥ ood name of the province, but there are others who _ I re not so.

SEHAP BUUK _ A Ellllllll LUUKEU HIH BYBUYS Ill lllElllIHlS~ One of the young lady pupils of ’rlnce Street School has received the allowing acknowledgement for a. tarcel sent by her: France March 22, 1916 Just a line to say I happen to be ne of the lucky fellows who received good share of your little comforts s ‘you term them, and I desire to hunk you very much for your kind- ess. They are a little late ln com- ‘ig butl think It is just as well that hey were ns we all had more or less ome Christmas parcel~at Christmas Ime. Those who were not lucky to ave them. got a share of the ones hat did. You call them little comforts Yell in most cases out here we look pon them tn a larger scale than that can't really describe how we appre- tate them at times. Very often I have end the Scrap Books through and hrough In the trenches, to pass the lme away and it. takes up one‘s at-f sntlon a great deal to get a. little. ews from _Canuda. It will be fourteeni wntns °n,uie 15:11 or Aprn since ll ame out here. I enlisted on the 8th f August, 1914 ln the Royal High- mdera. I happened to be lx member I the same regiment at the outbreak 1’ war_ .Having been in them for ine years I thought it was 'my duty o step forward and use my military raining to advantage. I happen to be i ne of the few who left Canada with tfe 13th Battalion from Montreal. When weoleft there I we were 1200 trong, 20 being left n_ and as p rise Company. After Aprllaftlgtnri. 1915 'hen roll was called we had present 76 out of’- 1000 men_ The others were aauaitles. I was blown in the lr twice but never hurt. except a few bruises. I never expected I would come out of It alive. On May 22nd, 1915, we went into action again after we had got 500 reinforcements and this time I wasn’t so lucky. After we made the charge on the Orchard at Festubert,or rather got up into lt. (No' Germans) in lt,_we dug ourselves in, and on May 25th I put n. cigarette in my mouth very early in the morning just at day break, as we were notil- lowed to smoke at night. I wanted to forget about taking a drink of water, I was so thirsty so smoked a cigarette I just turned round in the trench to ask my chum for a match when a bul- let went right through my left ear. But it wasn't serious. I had four weeks rest with lt and came back in time for another battle at Givenchy and got through that all right. The position we are in just now, we have held it for eight months_ We are leav- lng it tomorrow and going back to Ypres, the whole of the lst Conting- ent very probably. to have revenge on them for April 1915. I hear that the place where we are going to hold is only twenty-five yards apart so if we get much closer than that they bet- ter give us boxing gloves. I hope I am lucky enough to come through our next light which will be soon prob- ably before you get this letter. We have got them beat now and have lots of artillery and ammunition, but the Germans seem to us to have lots too_ The best of it is now. if the Huna send over a. shell our boys send back -four. I often think our boys make a mls- tnke purposely and count too many for Mr. Hun. However he is getting a very rpugh time of it from the _Conf adians now, and he might get a rough- er time before he is finished. I have still got to get even with the fellow who shot me so he better look out if I meet him. but any other German will do just the same. Well it is very late and I have little chance to sleep i Thanking you once more for your _ ° kindness I have the honor to be yours . e _ S _ Sincerely N0. 24276 Pie. J.
