But their own way the aggressor nations would have. Awful as was. the price, the democracies ordered upon the war to preserve freedom. How unprepared for war the democracies were is known to but few. When war came the situation was desperate' and the democracies saw that desperate times call for desperate action. War materials must be had and had at once. Hence the big price paid for men’s services. Hence, too, the loss and Incon-. venience to which other occupations and manufacturers were sub jected. Farmers, merchants, counting houses, every employer of labor, was put about. The patriotic and liberty-loving saw and un derstood the situation. The greedy and hardelbowed in* various enterprises who saw nothing in the world’s extremity but a fail* day for nest-feathering, made demands out of all reason for their services and products, Hence an attempt at price-fixing, an effort in which mistakes were made as there are bound to be in,all human enterprises, with inevitable injustices. Meanwhile, those in high places prosecuted the war, and right glad we are that they did so, though the average citizen suffered from toe-pinching in the pro cess. War and all national emergencies bring inevitable hardships. It cannot be otherwise. We hear talk of streaks of light in the pichy darkness. We welcome these cheering beams, but we are safe in saying that while we fight with hope, the situation continues to be. dangerous in the extreme. In the terrible effort we must continue to put forward there is precious little time for tightening our shoe strings, All that we have must be put into the pot. When the war is over, free Canadians will deal with any who have fattened on the world’s Gethsemane. Meanwhile it is up to ps to carry on not as we’d like, but. as best we can, A house on fire cannot afford to be divided against itself. Our paramount urge upon the government must be to win the war. If we lose the war nothing else matters. right now and 'fjpel a ''Slliionl’ 4 Ypur liyer fc organ in VW W arjd important to your health.

It expresses itself in treaties, in trade agreements and all other arrangements whereby those non Anglo-Saxon folk may thwart the purposes of the English speaking peoples. This point need not be laboured.

G. Gardiner. The reply ©f the minister was not reported. We can say this, how ever. A number of years ago one of the farmers living near this good town hired the then youthful Gardiner foi' farm work. The first job assigned to the hired boy was driving a balky .horse. -Our far mer friend saw the problem ahead of the future prime minister and federal minister of agriculture for the Dominion, and left the two to settle the matter between them. The boss chuckled but the contest between balky equine and boy went merrily on. The re sult? There was a good forenoon’s work done and horse and man lived, happily ever after. Yes, ".Jimmy” knows something about overalls and — balky horses., Some folks say that, he knows a little about .human nature. Some go so far as to say that he can do a fairish job. at taking care of himself on the platform, but as , Mr. Kipling used to say, "That is another story.” * *, * * * * **t at » THOSE. HIGH 'WAGES* Some of our unskilled fellow Citizens have been, and are now, receiving high wages for war services. Those wage eai’nerS should do all they can to invest in war 'Certificates. By so doing they’ll be providing for the day when a little cash will be sorely needed and at the same time doing a genuine, if sacrificial. duty. We know what followed the armistice of 1918., Meanwhile those who stay at regular jobs because they cannot carry out their heart’s desire to get under the colors will find that over a term of years they are as - well off as those who are now receiving big money for what really is unskilled labor. Let it not be forgotten that war takes it out of a man. A lot of tuck goes out of one with the whizz of bullets and the crash -of shells and the screams of the wounded' and the dying. A great dedl, too, goes out of a man who must’work to the ten thousandth of an inch and under tremendous urge that knows no rest by day or night, Experience alone enables one to realize what it takes out of anyone driven by war’s loud call to do the. skilled labor in an hour that normally requires a week’s six days. The wages are high, but they are earned with blood and nerve and san ity. Our nerves are jangling, as well they may be, but if we .stick it patiently and understandingly we’ll get through with God’s help. We still haVe our disappointments and ‘our tears but with God’s help we’ll get through and provide a square deal for everyone who strives for victory. However hard our Canadian lot may be, we still have our freedom. Our houses are not burned, our children are not slaughtered, no Canadian starves. We live in the Garden of Eden by comparison with Czechs and Polanders and overrun France and .Belgium.

Then followed the story of the resourcefulness of fiaden-P-owell, Who, by sheer manhood outwitted the cleverest generals of his day. No man had a better way of keeping the beseigers guessing. Do their best, the clever foe could not ascertain whether Mafeking was well sup plied or on the brink of starvation and on the margin of exhausted military supplies. One of his best ruses Was to pile up outside the town huge heaps of boxes and such articles that looked like muni tions and to spread the rumor among the beseigers that the boxes of explosives were there far away from the town to prevent their ex plosion from killing the population should the Boer cannon reach it. Of course it was added that Powell had set a ’.fuse .wheji’e the piles might be exploded should the enemy venture near them. No one laughed more heartily -over this bit of humbug than did Gen eral Smuts. Baden Powell’s best work was done in organizing the Boy Scouts, an organization that has done no end of good in ’getting boys out into the open, in inculcating in them manliness and a spirit of helpfulness and healthy courtesy.

Holmes said he had no evidence to offer in the case of Wesley Nicholls, school caretaker, charged with cre ating a disturbance in McAllister’s class room. The row took place fore klcAllister enlisted, during fall term. The crown said the case was important enough to warrant bring ing the R.C.A.F. student a long dis tance to testify. The charge was laid under the School Act at the in stigation of the public, school in spector. It was accordingly dis missed.
