It is noted that English wives are clam- oting for wages from their husbands. This is due to the fact that many of them have been wage-earners during the war, and. having drunk at the fountain of in- dependence. they are unwilling to again become household drudges and have to accept the pittaotes wh•ch too often are rudgmgly doled out by their lords and Masters. It is maintained that this is an after -the war problem which is riot going to be settled until it is settled right. In the opinion of The Brantford Expositor. the day of the' equality of sexes. even to the extent of joint control over the family purse. has arrived. 'Ae have a slight suspicion that Canadian husbands are not putting up vigorous opposition to such a plan. The 1% ()man in the Case is pow- erful enough in her own right to secure her rights. joint control means mutual sympetht and co-operation within the home. %%hu would not have it that way The world learned with unalloyed joy of the safety of Hawker and Grieve. the two daring airmen whu s'e'e believed to have lost their lives in the attempt to fly (rum Newfoundland to Ireland.

Now when a class of people so import- ant and conservative as the farmers t - unanimous on any subject it would seem time to examine the cause. 11 we of the cities. which after all would not exist but for the farmers, are doing the rural folk I an injustice we ought to know m.

The plan is so simple and secure that it commends itself to every- body. All of us spend a portion of our earnings thoughtlessly. It is human nature. Yet most of us would be glad if someone would take the money we fritter away and save it for us, because we find it difficult to save it ourselves. Make your employer do it by means of War Savings Stamps. Say to him: "I want you to take five per cent. of the money in my pay envelope each week and buy me Thrift Stamps. Then with each $4.00 worth of Thrift Stamps buy me a War Savings Stamp. When you have bought each War Savings Stamp, put it in my envelope. Go on doing that for a year." That is all. Your mind is free. You will not miss that 75 renis or that dollar which you have hitherto squandered on trifles.
