State Vegetable Growers Association, held Dcc. I and 2 in Garner, Iowa. 'C0Op¢l‘31lflg in the programme are the Agricultural Extension Service of Io\va State College, the Chamber of Commerce and City of Garner, and the Farm Bureau of Hancock County. The programme for Dec. 2 (today) includes an address by Ivfr. Ben Picha, manager of the Ilollandfllf, (M"1' ncsota) Marketing Association, on The use of Prince Edward Island seed cobblers in thc \Vcst",- a paper on "The Distribution of Prince Edward Island Cobblers" prepared by Mr. J. W. Boulter, manager of the P. E. I. Potato Growers Association, and an address by Mr. Sam Kennedy, Clear Lake, Iowa, on "Why I have bought my second Prince Edward Island car." The "car", of course, refers to a seed potato shipment. Mr_ Kennedy bought his first car of P. E. I. seed last year and he is so plms- ed that he is not only repeating the order, but "telling the world" about it. The back page of thc anniversary booklet is taken up by Mr. Ken- nedy, advertising his P. E. I. cobbler seed for foundation stock. This is excellent publicity for potato industry, and speaks volumes reputation of our certified seed boundary line. the Island's for_ the across the A Friendly Interpreter One of the best informed writers in the Uni- ted States is Miss Dorothy Thompson, who in a recent article advises her fellow countrymen that they need have no fear of being “dragged into" the war by the Allies. Those who feel that way would. says Miss Thompson, do well to subscribe to a fcw British periodicals and read tlum rcguiariy. The desire not to extend the area of thc war is obvious from these publica- tions. “What the Allies do wont from us,” she says, "is our sympathetic interest, the economic collaboration which is implicit in our normal pfiifct-lilllc program of reciprocal trade, and the contribution of our thinking to the essential problem of the reorganization, first of Europe, and then of ltirger and larger parts of thc world, for thc solution of those political and economic problems winch have: led to thc renewal of war." Miss Thompson is optimistic with rcgard t0 (‘he outcorcc. “'l‘hc human mind has not been thrown into blackout by the war," she says. “On the contrary; it is apparently pulling itself together with a degree of concentration and lucidity which is very promising.” Another misconception cleared up by the writer is with regard to alleged failure to form- ulate Britain's war aims more fully. It is real»- ized, she says, that this war is part of a crisis in western civilization that demands for its solution imagination, intelligence and a re- awakcncd moral sense. The largest and most daring ideas are being tentatively unrolled: such ideas as curbs on national sovereignty; interna- tional economic planning; a radical renovation of the colonial problem, etc. "The outstanding and fascinating fact that emerges from all the speculations about the future of Europe,” says Miss Thompson, "is the absence of any emphasis on ‘national’ aims. All propaganda which might tend to destroy the prospect of a new Europe to which Germany is admitted ss an equal seems definitely to be dis- eouraged." This kind of writing ls splendid publicity for the Allied cause. Its appeal is to the intelligent, thinking people of the United States who are not so clamourous as the militant isolationists and pro-Nazi elements, but much more import- ant in shaping the policies of the republic. '“Hard Work And Thinking’: Lord Tweedsmuifis inspiring address on Can- ada’s war aims and efforts, and the hard work necessary to achieve victory, is s reminder of the fact that he is a soldier as well as a states- man, and knows whereof he speaks in discuss- ing problems of modern warcfarc.

In a lcttcr to one of his biographcrs, Liddcll Hart, Lawrence stressed this as the most im- portant lcsson to be drawn from his career. “Will you," wrote Lawrence, “strike a blow for hard work and thinking? I was not an instinctive soldier, automatic with intuitions and happy ideas. When I took a decision, or adopt- cd an alternative, it was after studying everv rclevzint——and many an irrelcvcnt-factor.

The perfect general should know every thing in heaven and earth. So please, if you see me that way and agree with me, do use me as a text to preach for more study ‘of books and history, a greater seriousness in militarv art. With 2,000 years of examples behind us we have no excuse, when fighting, for not fight- ing well." This is the spirit in our fighting forces to- day, and it is one which can be carried over into our civilian duties. Efficiency in the field must be supported by efficiency in producing ‘the sinews of war at home. We cannot all be soldiers, but we can all concentrate on the job on hand. Our best contribution to winning the war will be the doing of that job thoroughly, EDITORIAL NOTES = Home Improvement loans to Charlottetown at the end of October totalled 286 amounting lo $7,392.01.

Mr. Charles Zcignlan, Uni- ted Farmers of Ontario livestock manager, told delegates attending the annual meeting of thc United Farmers Co-operative that Christmas turkeys will be cheaper this year. “The Bri- tish Government has forbidden importation of turkcys, classing them as a luxury,” he said. "That means there will be 3,000,000 1o 4,0o0.ooo pounds more on the Canadian market than nor- mally. The price I believe will be lower. The same will be true to a less extent in the case of chickens." e e e e There were 860 head of Canadian cattle sent abroad in October for the improvement of stock, 852 at $84,949 going to the United States, five at $450 to Newfoundland and three at $1,970 to Colombia.
