Members Complain to the Insurance Department. Several policyholders in the /linden Order of United Workmen who have suffered by the revaluation of policies under the legislation of last session, have lodged complaints withthe De. partwenr of Insurance. According to the lefiielatiou the Order was required by July 1, to ascertain the amounts of Re beneficiary and reserve funds, of ter providing for all claims on hand. and to apportion the amount among all of the certificates of members of the Order. The actuarial workbag out of this requirement has meant that in some cases the certificates held by members are declared to be valueless, While Government officials express regret that policyholders should find themselves in much an unfortunate po- sition, it is pointed out that, in view of the position in which the Order stood there was no alternative. The point is aleo made that while a certi floats may be declared to be valueless or practically see the bolder bas not lost the amount paid in, since at the low rates of insurance that have pre- vailed in the past—rates largely re- sponsible for the present condition of affairs—the policyholder has had pro- tection during the period of p ay- ments. MUNITION WORKERS NEEDED "The deliveries of munitions from Ontario are running far behind the quantities promised, and we are seri- ously apprehensive if the existing con- ditions cannot be bettered." Such is the statement of the Imper- ial Munitions Board to the Provincial Organization of Resources Committee, which has been conducting a prelimin- ary investigation into labor conditions in munition plants in Toronto, Hamil- ton and other Ontario cities, This shortage in production has been largely due to the fact that there has been a very inadequate supply of labor sufficiently skilled tp make deliveries effective. This has hampered factories turning out steel forgings and com- ponent parte, which, in turn, have adversely affected operatione at the machining and assembling plants But these, also, have been unable to make deliveries as scheduled, even when they are fully supplied with for- gings and component parts, largely owing to the shortage of labor. The Provincial Committee, there- fore, in bringing these facts to the attention of the public, desires: 1. To call the attention of all those engaged in the munitions and allied industries to the importance of their service and the great responsibility resting upon them as individuals to, co-operate and do all in their power to secure a steady and increased supply of munitions for our forces at the front, 2. To urge upon all those who are ineligible for overseas service and who are anxious to voluntarily do their best in this great struggle, (especially those now engaged in nonproductive work or in the production of commod- ities which are luxuries more or lase,) to consider employment on munitions as their next beet service to going overseas. 3. To urge Women's Emergency Corps to register women for munition work or for work which will release men for the munitions industry• There is no need to emphasize the importance of the highest possible production of munitions. The lives of our boys and the success of their en- deavor depends upon it. Statements from the highest authorities in Great Britain and from the front bear no small tribute to the part that munition workers are playing in bringing the war to a successful conclusion, CANADA STEAMSHIP ,.

I', A„ Yonge• Street Wharf, 'Toronto. 4111.0.i..nwrr« f The End el the War The general impression among men who ought to know, is that the war will be over in a few months, or a year at most. We then may look for an era of expansion and developement such as Canada has never known. This will mean busy factories, increase of population, demand for houses and higher pricee for real estate. The Moral la—"Buy your home now." • We have a good list of ex- cellent properties for sale at right prices. Ritchie & Cosens Insurance and Real Estate Agents for Canadian Northern Ry. The Officer Comte nanding a brigade of Canadian artillery, who returned from the front last week, said., "The Germans will never break through now. Before, they had munitions, guns, equipment, everything but "nerve". All we had was "nerve". But now we have good guns and plen• ty of good ammunition. Whereas formerly we were limited to 10 to 15 rounds a day, noW we use 500 to 1,000 a gun, and one week lately we kept• going all night and day, It's alI im- portant that the supply of munitions be kept up and increased," Efforts to use women in munition plants are meeting with good success. In a number of places women .have registered, and are waiting to be called to work as soon as necessary arrange- ments can be made. In Welland, for instance, 05 women responded last week to the call of a factory there which needs 150 to 200 women. Fifty per cent of those who answered the call had never been in regular employ went before. Wages in munitions plants should be such as to attract a large number of workers.

'The Farmer's Advocate has the follow ing to say in reference to Peter Arkell Son's exhibition of Oxford sheep at the National Exhibition --"Seldom does an exhibitor go to an exhibition so well pre- pared to win prizes as did Peter Arkoll and Sons of Teeswater, this year with their flock of Summer Hill Farm Oxfords. The show flock was comprised of 30 in- dividuals, and from the aged entries down to the lambs all were exceedingly well fitted and qualified to meet the keenest kind of competition. Unfortunately they were the only exhibitors, and the ribbons were distributed amongst the best of the different ages. This one flock in itself made a good showing for the breed, but if others had come out, and in condition to stand up beside those there, the Ox- tordDowns would have had a very pros. perous year at the Canadian National. Arkell's lambs were well -grown and splendid specimens of the breed. The older entries were high. class and worthy of the flock name.
