Phone 89 K Success -Twice Over This season's thirty-five horse- power Overland Model Eighty -Five has scored a double hit in Canada. For this is the popular model that offers to buyers a choice of either a Four or a Six. It is built in both motor designs. The wheelbase of the Four is 112 inches -the Six 116 inches. Solid comfort is assured in both. Big, roomy seats and cantilever rear springs are just _ two of the reasons why. As for the motors themselves;' little need be said -the fame of the Overland thirty-five horsepower four -cylinder engine is known the world over. And the engine in the six is just as efficient. We believe the Overland Eighty= Five comes closer to fulfilling the commonsense . requirements of more people in Canada than any other model brought out this year. Let us show you these cars.

Of course Blore is no doubt that Germany would to -day be glad to accept terns of a very different nature from those which elle originally' • hoped, The dream of world -conquest is shattered for tate timebeing, but 1f the Huns could get us to cry "quits" and re- turn to the state of things existing before the war they would doubtless be glad enough to do so. But I want to impress this fact upon those who would he content with anything but a conclusively victorioue peace. The British are not ogiug to call "quits" and I wish I could take the space to write about a few of my observations and cite sev- eral instances which would illustrate the splendid spiritwith which the true loyal citizens here are imbued. They are going to "hold on" and "keep steady" as Mr. Lloyd George has ad- viser, until the y win. There is no room for pessimism; it is Idiotic to be pessimistic. '1'o yield to pessimism and general depresion would he to throw away the victory that is al- ready ours. Let us, every one of us, as Can- adians, recapture the heroic mood in which we entered the war. Let us remind ourselves that we entered it because honor and duty acting upon the national temper with a more com- pelling power than any motive of self-interest left us with no alter- native. Let us all be inspired anew as in the first days of the war with that spirit of fraternity which swamps all differences of class and brings home to employer and empolyed, to rich and poor, the consciousness that they are all alike true Canadians and Britons, and as such, bound to pull together. Let us all reflect that to- day it is truer than it ever was that an inconclusive peace would be, in Mr. Lloyd George's words, "the greatest disaster that has ever be- fallen mankiud." It would mean nothing less than the total collapse of civilization. Britain has come through many dark hours and she is putting up a life and death struggle, hut true Bri- tone do not falter or be afraid. Our fathers knew what it was to live through hours of danger, but never despair or doubt. Our national prowess is being tried, our national spirit tested, our sea supremacy chal- lenged. Well, we can stand it all. But we shall not be called upon to endure much longer. It is a question who will break first -Britain or Ger- many. Can you doubt the answer? The enemy is breaking -now, at this very moment. His military power, great and splendidly organized, is dwindling. He is making a supreme effort in the West -not to win thro- ugh to the goal of those vain hopes of 1914 -Paris and Calais; -But to hold us back. But gradually the •Al- lies, the British, including Canadians, in which I ani proud to say are Huron boys, are pushing them back. And then, too, across the waters there is great and free America fev- erishly organizing for the fray, bend- ing all her powers, that, late on in the day thoughit be, she may take her place in the trenches of justice and liberty. Thrones may tremble, totter and fall; nations and people may weary in the fight but Britain never, never will say die. We are now in for "duration". The war may Iast many months yet, but the longest day comes to an end and the evening briny rest and peace and cheer. Or ill or well, Our work must needs be done; No resting time is won Until the .evening . From morning bell Unto the evensong, Or be it short or long, • God help us to be strong Until the evening.

The Ten` Deniandments What an Employer Expects The following 'Ten Demandments' are said to he hanging conspicuously in a salmon -canning establishment in British Columbia: Of course, these suggestions do not cover a young man's whole duty; but they certainly touch a number of important points that have to do 'with an employee's relations to his employer. 1. Don't lie. It wastes my time and yours. I atm sure to catch you in the end, and that is the wrong end. 2. Watch your work, not the clock. A long days work makes a long day short; and a short day's work makes my face long. 3. Give me more than.I expect, and I will give you more than you expect. I can afford to increase your pay, if you increase my profits. 4. You owe so much to yourself you cannot afford to owe anybody el- se. Keep out of debt, or keep out of my shop, 5. Dishonesty is never au accident. Good men, like good women, never see temptation when they meet it. 6. Mind your own business, and in time you'll have a business of your own to mind, 7. Don't do anything hero which hurts your self-respect. An employ- ee who is willing to steal for me is 'willing to steal from me. 8. It is none of my business what you do at night. But if dissipation affects what you do the next day, and you do half as Much as I demand, you'll last half as long as you hoped. 9. Don't tell me what I'd like to hear. I don't want a valet to my 'vanity, but one for my dollars. 10. Don't kick if I kick. If you- 're worth while correcting you're worth while keeping. I don't waste time cutting specks out of rotten app - Leek at your label, and see if it reads correctly. rs 7.1 BARGAINS FOR FALL FAIR VISITORS Visitors to the Fall Fair will save about one half by paying Our New Millinery Department a visit.
