The best guide for the electors of Calla
da when the time cones will be for all to
ask themselves the question ---
"How would thc Kaiser vote:"
and then vote the eery opposite.
x * s:
The issue is Grave
In the forthcoming election the t au -
adieu people will be called upon to
make the most fateful decision that this
country will ever be called upon to make.
The issue will far transcend that of mere
partisanship and will be clear-cut and
definite. The question to be decided will
be, shall Canada remain in the war or
shall Canada quit the war. That is the
issue pure and simple. The interjection
of petty political issues will of course be
attempted by the Laurier quit -the -war
element in an effort to becloud the main
issue but the attempt will be useless.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier has definitely decide
ed to fead the anti -war element and he is
banking on a strong support from Quebec
chiefly on racial grounds. Allied with
hint will be the various anti-British ele-
ments, slackers, shirkers, croakers and
cranks. But all these put together, thank
goodness, are but a minority, for the
heart the Canada is sound and loyal.
Nevertheless no effort must be spared
to counteract the work of these anti -war
factions for the impending issue means
more to Canada than appears on the sur-
face. A dishonorable decision might pos-
sibly have a far-reaching effect upon the
outcome of the war, it would directly and
disastrously effect our brave troops now
holding the line in Flanders, and the hon-
or of Canada would be stained forever in
the eyes of the world and of the future
generations of Canadians.

Buy your Seeds now
Warden Dr. Milne of. Blyth, has quite a
novelty in the way of a potato which was
grown through the hole of a steak bone.
The "murphy" was of good size and with
the exception of the connecting link
through the bone, formed two complete
potatoes. The doctor feels that this dis-
covery will greatly reduce high cost of
living and intends next year to grow both
potatoes and beefsteak. Anyone desiring
seed of this peculiar brand of potato
will leave their orders with him at once.

Pay Will Be The Same
Men selected under the Military Service Act will receive the same pay as
those now on active service receive. Pay will srtart from the time a man reports
for duty. Money from the Patriotic Fund and Separ-
ation Allowance will also be available for seledted men.
Canadian soldiers are well paid. The fact that
wages in Canada are generally higher than those paid
in Europe is recogni zed in the system of remuneration
for men on active service. Clothing and
all equipment in addition to food is also
supplied to the Canadian soldier, leaving
him with no expense except personal
incidentals.
The rate of pay for men in the
Canadian Expeditionary Force, other
than commissioned officers, is as follows:
Warrant Officers• .
Regimental Sergt.-Major, if not a
Warrant Officer
Quartermaster -Sergeants . •
Orderly Room Clerks .
Orderly Room Sergeants .
Pay Sergeants
Squad., Batt., or Co. Sergt-Major .

As in the case of those already gone overseas, Separation Allowances will
he available for those dependent for livelihood upon selected men. The
Separation Allowance is $20.00 per month for the rank and file, $25.00 for
sergeants and srtaff-sergeants and $30.00 for warrant officers. The experience is
that many men can afford to assign half their pay to dependents, in addition.
A considerable number of men who have enlisted in the Canadian forces
have found themselves better off under the army rate of pay, which is granted in
addition to board, lodging, clothing, equipment, transportation, etc., than they
were while in civilian positions. Their wants are provided for, and they receive a
steady addition to the bank account each month.

Necessary Farm
Equipment
MORE and more the Ford car is looked
upon by progressive farmers as neces-
sary farm equipment, the same as the
plow, the hay -rake, the drill, the mower, the
harrow and other labor and time -saving
machinery.
A farmer with a Ford car can dispense with
one or two of his horses and make the trips to
town, railway station, creamery, or to the neigh-
bours in one-third the time. In fact there is no
farm machine made that will save the busy
farmer and his busy wife so much valuable time
as a Ford. And it's so easy to take care of -far
easier than a horse. `-leo bed to make, or hay and
oats to get, no harnessing and unharnessing, and
no stables to clean. The Ford practically takes
care of itself.
Ask any farmer who owns a Ford if he would
ever again try to get along without it. His
answer will hasten your decision to own one.

Deprive pain of his citizen's. rights,

And 1111 his every hour with proof

And that at last, forsaken, dying,
Be sent to grave with a song of scorn,

DISTCRIT NEWS
On Tuesday, Sept. 18th, a quiet
but pretty wedding took place, when
Wiles Elizabeth Florence, only daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Wheat-
ley, was united in wedlock to Mr.
John Thomas Knox, youngest *,on of
Mrs, George Knox, of Hullett, a pros-
perous young farmer. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. C. C. Tate,
of Londesboro.
Mr. John MacKenzie, one of the
oldest pioneer residents of Ashfield
township died on Thursday, Sept. 20,
in sus eighty-ninth year, and was laid
to rest in Kinloss cemetery the fol-
lowing Saturday. He had been an
invalid for a number of years, suf-
fering the infirmities of old age, and
it was from this general decay of the
constitution that he died. The sur-
viving members of the family aro D.
U. and Peter, on the old homestead:
Alex in Chicago; W. L., Neil and
Annie (Mrs. J. Watson) of Lucknow
Idr, MacKenzie was the last of a lar-
go family of boys. all- of whom lived

BRITAIN'S STRANGEST SOLDIERS.
From east, froth, west, from north,
from south, from the uttermost ends
of the world, men civilized and un-
civilized have conte and are still
coming to fight for Great Britain up-
on the battefields of Europe. Many
:strange races are serving at the front
under the Union Jack.-negroes,•red
men, Sikhs, Ghurkas, Greek -Canad-
ians, Swedish- and',Norweigian- and
Finlander-Cauadians, German- Can-
adians, and a half dozen other races
mixed and varied antecedents have
enrolled in the khaki -clad hordes of
the vast empire upon which the sun
never sets.
But of all the strange nations the
most strange and interesting of - ail
are lite Fiji Islanders. Recently on
their way to Prance, after crossing
one-quarter of the world, and with
two-thirds more to go, Great Brit-
ain's first detachment of Fiji Island-
ers, two hundred strong, marched
down the gangplank orf au Austral-
ian steamer on to the shores of Can-
ada at Vancouver, British Columbia.
Prom stere this strange little array
Marched to Hastings Park military
encampment, there to wait a, couple
of days for a military train to carry
them to Halifax and thence to the
battlefront,
No stranger sight ever greeted the
eyes of the Canadian people, already
sated with scenes of warlike char-
acter, than this corps of igen, the
first of several thousand yet to come.
But a scant twenty-five years ago
these people were what the world
calls savages, though a more kindly
and hospitable people it would be
hard to find.
The men came from the various
parts of the 225 Islands that snake up
the group in the South Pacific, though
the most of the were recruited on the

Fiji and Vanua Levu (Great Land)
both of which are about three hund-
red miles hi circumference. The nat-
ives belong to the Papuan race, and
are a powerfully built and striking
race of omen.
Until 1874 the islands, of which
only eighty are largely inhabited,
were ruled by a native king. In that
year the Islands were formally taken
over by Great Britain, with their pop.
ulations, estimated at 120,000.
About a year and a half after the
war broke out so eager were so many
of the natives to fight for Great Brit-
ain that recruiting was begun, and
the party of 200 who arrived at the
end of June in Vancouver are the fir-
st of the little army, whose exact
number the censorship does not now
permit of making known, but which
will run likely into several thousand.
The commanding non-comniisioned
officers ore white men, mostly old, ex-
perienced English army officers; but.
the lesser commands, such as ser-
geant, corporal, etc., have been given
to the natives.
With this last addition to the Bri-
tish army at the front, there is gath-
ered together under one flag the great
est collection of varied races and col-
ors the world has ever seen. And
with such unanimous answer to the
tail to arms no thinking persons but
can realize how hopeless is Germany's'
struggle,

Constant increase in the cost of

otherwise they are carried at a finan-
cial loss. A few subscriptions al-
