For this there le only one remedy. Buy your coal in the summer. If you have not euffioent storage enlarge your coal bin," The Dominion Conservation Com- mission has given thorough, scientific study to the coal eituation and its advice should be heeded. The coal shortage in Canada during the past few months wrought considerable suf- fering and its effects might have been disastrous. Individual economy and national safety demand that a the Can. adieu people take steps this ,coming eumwer to get as much of their coal supply as is poseible for the winter of 1917-1.918. * * * Support the War Lottrt The Dominion's new war loan will test the determination of the Capadl l people to see thewar through to the end. If this loan ie as euceessful as its predecreeors notice will be served up. on the world, and particularly upon Geuoany, that there is no wavering of purpose among Canadians to fight on until denlaeracy has been vindicat• ed and aristocracy crushed, We have reached the supreme oriels of the weir, Within the next few months the Allied peoples will be call- ed upon to make sacrifices in treasure and in blood greater than any that have yet been known. Upon the shell - ravaged fields of Europe our brave soldiers face the future with fortitude and ungrudging devotion. Can we here at iaotnrt have it said that our de- terinination faltered at the critical hour, that we failed to support theta in the supreme moment of crisis? Be- yond the sea we have recently seen the people of the old Motherland, bearing upon their shoulders the titer - le burden of unprecedented financial losses. respond to a further call for sacrifice in a manner that amazed the world. This war, it cannot be too often said, is ours as mach as theirs, we cannot be true to our professions, wa cannot be ti;ue to Our soldiers who have died, and do lees than -they have done. Let the people of Canada, then, unite in making this new derinand up- on their financial resources an occasion for impressing the world anew with the foot that this Dominion proposes, in the historic words of Mr. Asquith, to fight on to the "last ounce of"its treasure, the last drop of its blood." A Tower of Strength When Sir Robert Borden e nters in) to conference with the greateet states- men of the Empire he will bo by no means the least commanding figure. No man will enter the conference with better intellectual equipment. Ever a close and serious student of imperial concerns he has a well stored mind and his views are firmly based upon a complete and accurate knowledge of the situation. His conferee are not likely to go away with the impression that because he is courteous he is lack- ing in etrength. They are not likely to mistake patience for irresolution It is only a few Canadian politicians who endeavour to make it appear that he is lacking strength and leaderehip. Some of them appear to think that because he eschews rough -house meth- ods he is "spineless." That is the the Montreal Herald and Brockville Re- corder view --it is only their pretended view promulgated with peesistenoy to create a misapprehensign in the public mind. Hon. George 'Graham himself knows better. He has seen too much of Sir Robert's mettle to have even a doubt as to bis strength. He has never seen him shrink from combat, and what is of more consequence he has never seen him worsted, fie is amiable, he is courteous, he is modest --but be is not weak. He is "the oak that defies the storm." LYCEUM THEATRE, W INOIIAM From Edgar 0. Brooks, Press Re- presentative, Annette Kellerman in Neptune's Daughter, ";Midst war's alarms" there comes a time when War Extra's become a sur- feit, AO the over-harrassed brain eeeke rest and change and relief.

No action will be taken pending the receipt of a. report from the hydro commission relative to the working possibilities of the road when completed. An additional bonus will have to be given to finish the work by the townships, and should this be turned down no other course can be taken than to sell the rails and other material.
