EDITORIAL NOTES.
Buying Victory bonds is a good invest-
ment and good patriotism.
Influenza is giving the war a close run
in the sire of it, casualty lists.
There is no "preventative" for influ-
enza --or for any other disease. The
word is "preventive."
The United Farmers of Ontano have
won their first political fight. It will give
them an appetite for more. '
The people of ` Thamesville got into the
lirnelight by oversubscribing their quota
of the Victory Ioen' n the half hour after
Sunday midnight.
We believe with Th Philadelphia in-
quirer that after this warlaover ' Germany
will be the peace•lovingest nation on the

come." •

The devil got well.
The devil a monk was he.
it seems that the Canadians were not'
the first to enter Douai on its recapture
from the Germans. However, they have
plenty othe; feathers in their cep. Cam-
brai. Le Cateau and Denain are to their
credit. not to speak of their earlier
achievements. - •
The announcement of an investigation
by the Federal'F000d Board of the United
States into alleged profiteenng in oranges
and lemons resulted in an Immediate drop
in prices. Haven't we any machinery in
Canada for producing similar results with
regard to other articles of consumption
Nothing in the war news makes pleas-
anter reading than the accounts which
tell of the joy and gratitude of the French
and Belgian peoplewho are being liberated
after four long years of cruel oppression
by the German invaders. Such scenes
must be a recompense for all the toil and
h,rdship and danger that have been
undergone by the soldiers who have
effected the resc•:e of tl.ea people.
The Huns are "getting good" all of a
sudden. They have released the famous
Burgomaster Ma: of BMW's. who has
been in Gentian _ :t steidy for hi yearsi
because he would not show a au(dciently
subdued spirit .in the presence of his
country's enemies, and • hey have
promised to return valuable works of art
which have been takenfrom various
French cities. A bit more '•of Foch's
punishment may work further Wonders.
An interesting tory is that Which
accounts for Lord Kitchener's death by
relating that the former Russian Czarina
had a private wire in the palace at Petro-
grad over which was transmitted to Ber-
lin any information which came to her
regarding the pians of the Allies. This
may be the true explanation of the
trig`ds which robbed Britain of the ser-
vices of her great War Minister. Late r
the Czarina's pro -German a:'tivities
brought her own family and her country
to disaster. "A house div.ded .igainst
itself mast fall."
The bye -e ecti .n fn the Provincial rid-
ing of Man toulin last week gave the nen'
farmer-' party its first victory. Benjam-
in Bowman, who was running with the
support of the United Farmers of Ontaro.
defeated the Government candidate by a
substarr.ial majority. This was the
-riding formerly represented by the late
R. R. Gamey, who held the seat for fif-
teen years. Governme t organs try to
soften the blow by stating that Mr. Bow_
man is a Mennonite and had the support
of a large bod v of Mennonites. The
Globe says there are not more than
twenty-five Mennonite voters ;n the
whole riding. •fhe real explanation of the
turnover is not for to seek. Manitoulin
is an agricultural constituency. and n. -
dependent farmers naturally voted (,r the
farmers candidate. Mr. Bowman has
been known as a Liberal and no doubt he
received the general support of the Lib-
eral voters of the riding. Three members
of the Cabinet, including the Premier.
Sir William Hearst..took part in the cam-
paign and the defeat of their candidate is
a decided blow to their prestige.
FARMERS' EXtURTS

Money Lent to Government Financing
Huge Exports.
Last year the people of Canada loaned
to the Government 8419,000,000 to carry
on the war. Out of that sum were spent
huge sums to finance the purchases of the
British Government in Canada for food
and munitions. Since the war began the
Imperial Munitions Board has awarded
contracts in Canada amounting to 81.200.•
000.000 and about *n00.000.000 have been
advanced by the Government and banks.
Besides that there were heavy advanc s
to assist in the expo -t of Canada's agri-
cultural products.
Theme sums have been the came of a
tremendous apsnston of in awry. Farm-
ers, as well as manufacturers, have been
able to sell their surplus products to
Gnat Bends and to get the motley at

once. They have gone on multiplying '
their efforts and doing their part in w tn- i
ning the war. for Great Britain had to
eat while her soldiers were away fighting. I
In the past year the Government has
advanced 8100.000.000 to finance • our
agricultural and animal products to�
Great Britain. The bacon output was
entirely handled out of loan funds. . And '
this year there will be some heavy calla
out of the lt918 Victory loin. Canada
has a surplus of cheese for export amount-
ing to 840,000,000. Butter, eggs and
condensed milk will` amount to 110.000.-
000 more. The Victory ban will get
these to their only market, Great Britain.
The exportable wheat crop will be 100,-
000.000 bushels and the value 8225,000,-
000. Victory- loan money fur the most
part will finance this.
It is a big story. Perham we may
better understand the tremendous import
of the Victory loan by comparing the
agricultural and animal exports of the
last fiscal year with four years ago. In
1915 Canada exported of these 8209.000,
0(111; last year the figures grew to
S740.000.000. because the Dominion
Government was able to find the money
for the , handling of these exports. In
manufactures exports have increased (r, m
8,ti5.1300.0t11) in 1915 -10 8836.000.000 in
the last fiscal year. Many great indus-
tries have been built up. -The whole
country has felt the impulse to greater
endeavor. Th its the spirit that is win-
ning the war. We must not let it flag.

A MESSAGE FROM
BISHOP FALLON.
The Government of Canada is making
another appeal torts citizens to subscribe
to a Actors loan that shall enable this
,nation to continue its efforts towards
winning the war. Security, self interest,
thrift and patriotism urge us,Sis meet this
appeal with a must generolTs response.
There is no doubt of our ability to do so.
The aggregate of deposits in the Banks
of Canada at the present time is over
seventeen hundred million dollars. The
Governmeut calls for less than one-third
of•that sum. It is simply a question as to
whether the depositors will benefit by the
attractive interest rate offered by invest-
ing a portion of their savings in unexcelled
securities. or whether the Banks shall
take the loan and the returns go to swell
the bankers' profits. No demand has
hitherto been made upon Canada's men
tpxr means is support of the struggle for
iberty
and civilization that has not re-
ceived an immediate and whole -hearted
reply; our national honor requires that
we should follow this course to the end.
