Light Four Touring
A Favorite In Canada
The steady demand for Overland Light Four touring cars in
the Dominion is the strongest argument we can advance
in their favor.
This sturdy little Overland traveler has proved a favorite
right from the start.
it appeals strongly to those who want and need a moderately
priced car—one that is not too big and costly to maintain
or too small for riding comfort and pride of ownership.
The Overland Light Four strikes a happy medium.
Let us show you this. car. Let us demonstrate its advantages.
A ride in it is mighty convincing.

Other sections went through the floor,

Back The Men At The Front
LORD SHAUGHNESSY'S APPEAL
lit response to the request of a
number of prominent French-
Canadian gentlemen of the
Province of (t)uebce, Lord
Shaughnessy has expressed his
views on the present conditions
as follows: -
1
tr-t-+HERE is a germ in my system
11 that renders obnoxious every
form of Iegislation calculated to
invade the personal liberty of the
subject, save such as may be neces-
sary for the safety of the nation and
for the peace, health and general wee
fare of the people.
t Enforced military service in time
of peace, as it existed in some foreign
countries, would come within my
category of objectionable measures,
because it has the effect of taking
a man from his ordinary avocation,
and, for given periods, making him
subject to military regulations under
the control of military officials, not
because of any danger immediately
impending, but because that within
his life -time something {nay occur to
involve the nation in war, making
trained military forces necessary.
The encouragement of the military
spirit in normal times is not best for
the people whose aim should be the
promotion of a policy making for
peace, prosperity and happiness. But
it may be said if one nation neglects
its military establishment,. its aggres-
sive and covetous neighbor with his
trollied army and ever -ready tmple•
moots ot war, will one day seek a
cause of quarrel and overpower it.
The gravity of this contingency
admitted, it becomes apparent that
the effort of nations must be not only
to create and maintain military
forces sufficient for defence if there
be attack, but strong enough to as-
sume the offensive if that appear to
be the best strategy,
Should it be conceded that the
safety of the nation demands an un-
remitting condition of military pre-
paredness, it may be properly asked
;tijiere too limit is to be placed, be-
cause there must be a limit or a
military autocracy will ensue, such
as that which the Allies aro Brew de-
termined to destroy in Germriny qt

taken by the late Lord Kitchener, and
immediately all of the Overseas Do-
minions of the Empire expressed
their willingness and, indeed, deter-
mination to supplement and assist
the army of the Ring by sending
troops and meeting other war re-
quirements to the limit of their re-
spective resources, Canada was among
the first to declare that the war in
which Britain and France were en-
gaged for the defence of human
liberty was Canada's war also, a de-
claration that was sounded through-
out the Dominion from coast to coast
by an overwhelming majority of her
people. The men of Canada respond-
ed nobly to the call for volunteers
and the Overseas Army went to the
firing line where their prove:>s and

To the accomplishment of this put/

ber of men sent overseas, our mill=
tary authorities, having the most
accurate information, declare that
f'lrtber reinforcements are essential
and that they cannot be secured by
voluntary enlistment. In theme cir-

pronounced may be our antipathy to '

We must continue to equip, arm, and

Conscription Is now the law of the
country, and no matter what his
views about the policy of Government
or the motives end methods alleged
to hag attended our recruiting and
other irar activities during the first
two years of the war, it is now the

DON'T MISS THE POl4l1l
There is a roan in this part of the
world who represents, to our way of think-
ing, a pretty good average of human nat-
ive. Whenever the preacher in his church
delivers a yery ]tot sermon against some
special kind of in, this man gets enthus-
iastic and goes around to the vestry to tell
the preacher what a fine sermon it was,
Then lie goes home and repeats it to his
brother, and they talk over the points
and the people the sermon hit the hardest.
But this particular man never sees When
the sermon hits him,
Early next month the biggest public
campaign ever put on in Canada will be
open to get subscriptions for the fourth
Canadian war loan, -the Victory Loan.
The thing people in this district must bear
111 mind is that the appeals are directed
to each and every one of them. It is not
merely the well.off men and women who
are being asked to invest. it is every-
body. Tlie little sermons which will be
"preached" in the advertising should not
be taken as hints to the well-to-do people
only. Every man and woman should
watch for these advertisements and start
now to gather up the necessary money to
buy either a fifty or a hundred or a live
hundred or a thousand dollar bond. In
the United States there were about 4
subscribers to the first American loan of
out every 100 persons. There only re-
ceived 3i per cent. In Canada for the
last war loan there were only about 41,000
subscribers or say 4 in every 700. Yet in
Canada the interest was much higher—on
the Victory Bonds that will probably be
issued to yield about 5# per -cent.
The ;first thing anyone should do, in
our opinion, is to get rid of the idea that
there is any sacrifice involved in investing
in this loan. It is trite that the patriotic
spirit is appealed to and it is equally true
that a great and generous response is ex-
pected on that ground. But the new war
loan is a stragli'tway business proposition
safe, profitable and convenient. Every
man and every woman with as much as
fifty dollars to spare should own one of
these new bonds, and not only that, but
should help to show others the north of
these bonds by recommending them every
where, The readers of this paper are
among the most thrifty, prosperous and
public eqirited in the Dominion. When
the subscriptions to the Victory Loan are
added up from the various districts and
sub -districts we expect them to show that
this part of the Dominion has been true
to its traditions and just to its opportuni-
ties.

On Guard at the Reading Gate!
First Notice—It is a fine thing to guard
our hones against alien soldiers of whose
purposes we are all aware. But it is also
very itnportant to guard them against
other insidious foes that creep in under
the disguise of friendly entertainers to
plunder and destroy the cherished ideals,
the lofty standards, the clear views that
have given the hoirie its character.
If you will familiarize your young
people with the best reading, they will
not be likely to crave what is inferior and
demoralizing. The Youth's Companion
is a powerful influence in awakening a
taste for what is best in reading. It is on
guard at the reading gate! Nothing
cheap, mean or hateful passes its chal-
lenge. But neither does the dull, crabbed
and auslete. Cheery is The Companion's
countersign. Put it on goad at your
reading gate!
