The Kaiser wanted a birthday
present for the Crown Prince. He
promdeed him Verdun, but the
walking wasn't good between his
headquarters in the woods and the
French fortress, so the Crown
Prince had to do without his pres-
ent and many of his people will
haveto do without their nearest
and dearest relatives for all time..
A Hint to Sir Wilfrid Laurier
With Canada engaged inn war
that means life or death to the
British Empire, and all it stands
for, is there anything "Liberal."
about the man who continues to
place party interest above national
interest, who , deliberately be-
smirches reputations for a selfish
purpose, who delights to embarass
those upon whom fate has placed
burdens almost greater than they
can bear? -From the Ottawa Free

War Horses Bought in Canada
Mr. John Bright, chairman of
the Dominion Live Stock Breeders'
Association, says there is a great
shortage of heavy horses in Cana-
da as a result of 60,000 such horses
having been purchased in Canada
for the war. The attention is call-
ed of those Liberal papers that tried
so hard to make the Ontario farm-
ers feel that the Tory Gov,rnment
was tuning them down and.buying
in the United States.

Press Association Meets
At a meeting of the Advisory Com•
mittee of the Canadian Press Associa-
tion, held in Toronto on Saturday, it
was decided to hold the Annual Meet•
ing of the Association in the Assembly
rooms of the new Technical School,
Toronto, on Thursday and Friday,
June 1 and 2. The meeting will be
followed by an excursion to Port Ar-
thur and Fort William on one of
the
great steamships of the 0. P. R.
If it was Sir Wilfred Laurier's
idea, in introducing the bilingual
question in the House of Commons,
to make trouble for Premier Bor-
den and disrupt the Cabinet, he
failed to succeed,
Premier Borden comes out un-
scathed. He made it clear that he
would never be a party to injustice
done any minority; neither would
he interfere with Provincial rights.
His Cabinet stood with him to a
man.

All that Sirgot
for his
trouble was a.little cheap notoriety
with his compatriots, who would be
the first to squeal if the Dominion
Parliament ventured to interject
advice and treatment of the minor-
ity to the Quebec Legislature.
To offset that eleven of his Wes-
tern followers deserted the opposi-
tion leader in his ill-advised and
mischievous action, and all over
the country denunciation and lost
prestige is noticeable from Liberals
who refuse to tolerate methods
that, to use the words of the Win-
nipeg Free Press, the leading Lib-
eral newspaper in the Canadian
West. "will have no more effect
than to influence racial feeling, al-
ready dangerously high."
His unfortunate action in lather-
ing such a resolution in Parlia-
ment .bac cost the liberal leader
dearly, whatever gains he may
have made in Quebec. Eleven of
his own followers in Parliament
condemned by their votes his stand,
,btbers (no doubt like Mr. Hugh
Guthrie, 11:; P.) did the next thing
to that, by absenting themselves
from the House and there are
thousands of good Liberals sincere-
ly grieved and indignant at their
leader's actions in resurrecting the
bilingual issue. -Guelph Herald.

CANADA'S NEED FOR THRIFT
These may be as b rmal. Urnela and
thus enggest extra cause for thrift, A
return to what in cowparieon may be
termed a normal period, however,
seems to prove that there watt then
nearly as much r'eatton for the sortie
policy. In the Report of the Commie-
sion on the Cost of Living in Canada
it is shown that the prices of food is
this country rose from 100 in 1900 to
145 in 1918, and of food and coal corn -
bitted from 100 to 139 0, In the United
Kingdom the rise in the same period
was from 100 to 109 2 for coal. This
being on the whole a colder climate
and coal not be so accessible, it would
hardly be expected that the combined
inorease would be proportionately less
than for the bangle necessity, food, yet
it seems to be the case. The one de•
tinction appears possible, that greater
thrift, comparatively speaking, is ex-
ercised in the consumption of food.
Why should the increase of the poet
of food in Canada have been greater in
the fourteen years than in Britain?
That is a question worthy of an an-
swer and of thought, We are not only
self contained in moat articles of food
but in the more common run have a
surplus for export. Britain, on the
other hand, is an Importer of at least
fourteen of the sixteen articles reck-
oned with in the computation, name-
ly, beef, mutton, pork, bacon, eggs,
'butter, cheese, flour, oatmeal, rice,
sugar, coffee, potatoes and tea, the ex-
eeptione being bread and milk. In our
case the only exceptions to home pro-
duction of articles of consumption,
that at least there is real cause for be-
ing, are rice, sugar, coffee and tea,
Again is asked --Why, then, the in-
creased difference in our disfavor of
the.relative cost of living?
There can be but one answer to the
query here propounded- tha t
we are less thrifty, more ex-
travagant and more wasteful than our
close relations of the British Isles, In
addition the investigations of the Cost
of Living Commissionwould seem to
indicate that Canada is rapidly becom-
ing the most expensive to live in all the
affiliated countries of the empire. In
such circumstances it is apparent that
it is up to our people to go in for in-
trospection and to consider in what
way the situation can be remedied and
improved. We have ndt the large
poverty-stricken class to lessen the
percentage that Great Britain unhap-
pily possesses, but home industry and
home production sbouldoutweigh that
possible reason for some of the differ-
ence. There pre and must be other
causes for the difference, and those
here set forth appear -to the main ones.
If every Canadian would consider that
every dollar, every ounce of food pro-
duced. meant so much added to the
country's capital and wealth, it is not
difficult to believe that there would
soon be a decrease in the proportional
incease of the cost of the necessities
of life along with a speedy diminution
in household expenses.
A Prompt Remitter
Mr. Jas. M. Aitken of Donavon,
Sask., whose subscription to73.E AD
VANCE expired on April 30,191 , writes
us the following note -"Please find
enclosed the sum of $2 for subscription
to your valuable and very newsy pa-
per. I intended sending earlier but as
we are very busy seeding it was for-
gotten. Seeding is rather backward
this spring as we have had quite a
number of very hard frosts, but the
wheat is nearly all in now. Wishing
you success, etc."
Personally we do not see why Mr.
Aitken should make any excuse about
forgetting to pay. If all our subscrib-
ers were only half that prompt, we
would be able to turn out a better
paper than now.
Socks Reached the Right Place
Mies Kathaleen Wilkinson, daugh
ter of C. R. and Mrs. Wilkinson, knit
ted a pair of socks which were sent to
the front to the Canadian boys. She
enclosed in the toe a note expressing
the wish that they. would be a good
fit and serviceable to the wearer. .On
Monday of this week she received a
postcard from M. Innes, 8th Battalion,
0. E, F. machine gun section, thank-
ing her very kindly for the socks and
assuring her that they were more
than appreciated. He further stated
that by the time she would receive his
card the Canadians would be in a very
hot part of the battle, concluding in a
light-hearted way, "but we should
worry."
Those willing to knit or sew, will be
supplied with yarn by Mies Peasant,
Minnie st., or with cut out shirts by
any one of the committee, Mrs. Wm.

Dear Friends in the Khaki:
We have gathered here to -night as
representatives of the congregation to
say a few final words to you who have so
nobly responded to the call of King and
Country and enlisted in this the greatest
war in the world's history. The weeks
are passing by and we are beginning to
realize with a certain feeling of sadness
that you will soon be passing on to a
larger training camp and we will miss
your facee at the Sabbath services. We
wish to say therefore before the oppor-
tunity passes, that we are proud to have
two such men as you • fighting for us
in this titanic struggle for the world's
freedom. There are others of our nnm•
ber who would only be proud to stand
with .you tonight in the King's uniforni
but whether we' are unforttinate or others
wise the voice of duty calls us to retrain
with the farm. We are glad however
that you have been able to say, "Hera
am I, send Me," and we wish you every
success in the cause which is so dear to
us all. tt is not with any idea of reward
ing you for sacrifice that we are here this
evening, but just to assure you of our ins
tercet in you and that our best wishes go
along with you, we ask you to accept
these gifts from•the Calvin congregation.
We trust that when you are far away
and dreaming of home these may assure
you that the home fires are still .burning
and loving friends are thinking of you,
We assure you that Nye will watch your
career with ever deepening interest as
you go dversees with the loyal Cana,
dian forces, and will not forget you At
the throne of grace that you may live
lives consistent with the righteousness

of he cause to which you have dedicated

yourselves and that our gracious Father
may in his own good tithe bring you
safely back to us.

PRODUCTION AND 1 IIRIFT
Light and Heavy Horses
If Great Britain found it necessary
utilize the ',ace courses of England
�r military purposes and thus put a
heck upon racing she also finds it
ecessary to encourage bunting and
o maintain horse shows. The reason
or this is to promote the production
f horses for remount purposes. With-
ut some utilization for horses of this
escription other than military there
could become such a scarcity that
ven officers' mounts would be hard to
blain, Dragoons • and hussars may
ave been used to foot soldiers during
he present war but it must be ap-
.arent that the reign of the cavalry
corse has not altogether paseed. Re
vill ever be careful in colonial disiaur-
ances and in warfare against semi-
ivilized nations and tribes. He will
Iver be useful too in open fighting.
Chat His Majesty, the King, as well
is his government, takes this view is
moven by his recent gift of one of the
rest bred horses in his stable of high•
lass thoroughbreds to the govern-
ment of Canada for the purpose of
vetting remounts, That but one mind
n• this regard is entertained by the
uling authorities of Britain is further
ndicated by the fact that the imperi-
1 government recently accepted a
ift of hie famous thotougbred Ftable
ram Colonel Ball Walker. From
hese points of view the advisability
rf Canada containing to breed light
gorses and saddle horses is plain,

When peace comes, and the large
number of officers that have been
created return to civil life, they will
doubtless continue their equestrian(
ism. Therefore horse -back riding
promises to become the vogue. Such
sports as hunting and polo playing
will receive an immense impetus and
with them horse shows,wiil return to
I favor than ever. In addition,
I history of the horse proves that
after every irruption of other means
of street and road travel he has ulti-
mately returned to his own. An al-
leged horseless age came in with rail-
way trains. It returned with ,the
bicycle. It bas come back again with
the automobile tl and traction c ton power
As in the two first cases so in the last
instance the horse will return. Pos-
sibly not to the same extent or exact-
ly for the same purposes, but he will
be restored for the reasons, among
others, that men with vitality in their
veins like to handle and control living
things, because of the sportsmanship
he makes possible, because of the ex-
hilaration he affords in freedom and
daring and because of his spectacular
character in the show ring. And he
will never pass as a military arm.
That the heavy horse is the horse of
Canada nobody would dare or care. to
dispute. At the same time it ie evi-
dent there is room for his lighter
brother, Dealing with the heavy
horse, the more judgment exercised in
breeding the better it will be for the
country. For the last year or two
there has been a slump in prices and,
it is to be feared, less breeding than
formerly in coneequence. As a re-
sult, when the increased demand,
which transactions, especially in the
West, would indicate bas already com-
menced, arrives at its fullness there
will be both high prices and a marked
deficiency of the right sort. By this,
coupled with the fact that the wast-
age of horses in the war bas been
enormous, it would seem worth while
to improve and accelerate horse breed-
ing along with general agricultural
production.

FARMERS' INSTITUTES NOW
BOARDS OF AGRICULTURE
Reorganization of the Farmer's In-
stitutes of Ontario under the name of
boards of agriculture has been decid-
ed of
bythe Ontario
d ai.men
on -p
agriculture.
Each board will cover the territory
as the old institutes, in all sections
south and east of Muskoka. Since its
inception in 1884, the Farmers' Instit-
utes have carried on effective work in
bringing a knowledge of modern agri.
cultural methods to the farmers of the
province. After careful consideration
the department of agribulture decided
that a reorganization was necessary
in order to maintain the high standing
of the movement, as an educational
institution
THE UURONS
The above is the officially declared
title of the Battalion for Overseas now
being raised in this county and I trust
the young men of this county will see
their glorious opportuuity by making
the name of such a reputation as to
place it alongside the names of noted
British regiments.
The ten dollars dona•ed by Police
Magistrate Kelly to the proposer of the
most suitable name, was handed to
me and by me placed at the disposal
of the auxiliary.

'TILL THE BOYS COME HOME;
(Ke.p the Home -Fires Burning)
They were summoned from the hillside,
They were called in from the glen,
And the Country found them ready
At the stirring call for then.
Let no tears add to their hardship,
As the Soldiers pass along,
Arid although your heart is breaking,
Make it sing this cheery song.
REMAIN
Keep the{ Horne- flier? burning,
While your hearts are yearning,
Though your lads are far away
They dream of Ilomes
There'e a silver lining
Through the dark cloud shining,
Turn the dant cloud inside out.
'Till the boys come Rome.
Over seas there came a pleading,
"Belp a Nation in distress!"
And wes ave our glorious laddies;
Honour bade es do no less,
Portio gallant Son of Britain
To a foreign yoke shall bend,
And no Englishman ie :,dent
To the sacred call of Friend,
