Mr, A. J. Nicholls secured tbe ser-
vices of a baker front Toronto recently
and one day shortly afterward" Mr
Ntohol during a conversation had oc-
casion to remark that he thought he
must be a German sympathizer. The
next morning to hie great surpriee on
eomipg down stairs he found no baker,
after searching around the house he
phoned the depot and was, told that
although he did not.purchase a ticket,
the gentleman had boarded the
early train.

Your Country Needs You
Thirty-eightadvertisements for
office assietanes were counted in one
issue of an Ontario daily paper, of this
week. Did you see them?
So popular has the demand for com-
mercial training become that our local
Business College has recently been
obliged to increase both its teaching
staff and the seatiatg capacity of its
class -rooms. Young ladies with busi-
ness sagacity and patriotic zeal are
fitting themselves to take the place of
the young men who are going on
astave service. The far-seeing ones
are not waiting until the demand has
been supplied but are rushing in to
get prepared without delay. In order
to accomodate those who are eager to
complete their courses without a vaca-
tion it may be necessary to operate
summer schools, so that any girl who
fears that ehe could •not finish before
anidenmmer holidays need not hesitate
'on that "score. The possibility of a
business or banking position should be
carefully considered by all ambitious
young ladies at this particular time.
The Wingbam Business Coliege will
be glad to talk about the situation
with you. show you through its school
rooms, at any time, or answer any
enquiries you may wish to make.

Send them swiftly o'er the sea
To the haunts of cruelty; -
But the dove deepoiled; distressed—
Bend the olive to her breast;
Take this message to the Huns

Canada is proud to bear
Of the load a lion's share
Proud to do and proud to die
For the Empire's; ideate high,
Britain's sons the whole world o'er
Will be freeman evermore;
Take this message to the Huns
C tnada's behind the guns.
Canada bas wealth in store
She will lavish more and more—
So that tyranny may fall
She will gladly give her all;
From her dearest she will pat t
For the cense that stirs her heart
Take this me. age to the Huns
Cainada's behind the guns.
