In one case, however, a dollar dill do as much for you now as ever it would. A house worth $2000, four years ago can still be . bought for the same money, but, now as a $ has only a sixty cent value, in almost every other case the $2000 property is really only $1200, comparatively speaking. Think this over carefully and you will conclude to put your mono in real estate while the dollar is cheap. Better be quick about it too before the other fellow gets wise and puts up his price.

The amendments made are far-reaching in their effect. They provide for an increase in pensions and allowances to, and in re- epcct of, soldiers and sailors holding the lower ranks up to and including a rank of sublieutenant in the Canadian navy and lieutenant in the Canadian expeditionary forces. The moat important changes provide for increases in pensions and allowances, These changes will be considered as hav- ing come into force on the first day of I April, 1918, and in this way all pensioners will be entitled to an extra check covering the difference between the pension paid to them since April 1, 1917, and the, date when the adjustment i+, made. The change will effect the pensions of sol- diers and sailors and their children, their orphan children, their widows and child- ! ren, their dependent parent and their !I younger brothers and sisters The total I increase in the amount payable by Cana -1 da for pensions and allowances will be ap- proximately 40 per cent At the present time the annual expenditure involved is about five million dollars e year. With the increases now authorized Canada's outlay for pensions will be over seven mil- lion dollars during the fiscal year. A second change made is only slightly less important. It provides that disabili- ties shall be divided into 20 classes, in- stead of six classes. In the future disab- led men will be certain to receive a pension based directly on the percentage of the disability which they suffer, Baa Turnberry Council The regular meeting of the Council was held in Bluevale on Monday, Oct. 22nd, as advertised.

There is a splendid and beautiful fall of water here also, the Oakletleaping and dashing on its way over the rocks to the loth be- low. I did not find my Loch Lomond trip nearly so charming and delightful as my - Killarney visit altllpugh it is certainly a very beautiful place and I suppose to Scotchmen it has no peer. Loch Latrine, not far distant, is in my opinion, a prettier loch by far. Scott's "Lady of the Lake" has added glamour and romance to this loch, and I think one of his verses goes like this: "One burnished sheet of living gold Loch Latrine lay beneath him rolled, In all her length far winding lay With promontory, creek and bay. A nd islands that, emput'pled bright Floated amid the livelier light, And mountains that like giants stand, To sentinel enchanted lard." While in Glasgow I made it a point to visit Ayr and the land o' Burns as I bad heard a great deal .concerning the place, so on the second day of my visit to the city I journeyed southwards, via electric tram, and after passing<through Paisley, a miniature Glasgow, the home of the great Scotch poet was reached. Ayr is an attractive place with a curious mingling of quaintness and modernity Soon after turning into High street one catches a glimpse of the famous Wal- lace Tower and the splendid Wallace statue. By means of a train along a plea- sant tree -shaded road some of the most interesting scenes connected with the poet Burns are visited, including the var- ious localities mentioned in ""ram o' chanter" and "The ford, Where in the snaw the chapman smoor'd" Farther on from the yard and near the road, behind the house, :occupied by the Roselle gamekeeper, is the "Meikle Stane Where drunken Charlie braks neck bane." A mile or so down the road the cottage where Burns was born in 1759 is reached. The ori gt o l cottage tt age is a clay big gin con- sisting of two apartments, the kitchen and sitting -room. The contrast between the bare simplicity of the cottage with its rough -cast walls and thatched roof and the highly polished up surroundings is al- most ludicrous. Inside is a most interest- ing collection of Burns' relics the origin- al M. 5 of Burns' poems and Burns' family Bible with entries in the poet's own hand -writing being of special interest. There are also some bits of furniture con- nected with the poet and in the kitchen is the old dresser, recess -bed, etc , which make it look as he must have seen it On an eminence to the south-east of the cot- tage stands the fare] of Mount OIiphant where the family lived for several years. Proceeding towards Burns' monument we passed "Allvaye auld haunted kirk," roofless but with walls prettywellre- served and still retaining its bell at' the east end, Near the ruined kirk is Mun go's well, "where Mango's inither hanged hersel'." It is reached by a foothpath, and beyond its interest, is one of the love- liest on the banks of the Doon. "Before him Doon pours all his floods; The doubling storm roars thro° the woods." aichitactural interest being the Lower Church. and Crypt. It was in this crypt that Scott placed. one of the notable scenes in Rob Roy, �. There are many other places of inter. est in the city as well including 'the Unit e rail and. dArt Gl Gallery a Museum. y ndM s u e tn. At the latter place I spent a short time. Although Glasgow, at this time Was til the midst of a gala holiday season and there bein sufficient 80 light-headedness apparent, Ie suppose,nt and to cause a stranger at first to suspect indiffer- ence on the part of the people here re- garding the war, one is not long hi Glas- gow or any other place in Scotland for that matter, before he realizes bow nlag, nificentiy and gloriously the bonny land of the north is doing her snare in the great cause Ireland, as a whole could do infinitely more than she is doing to help Great Britian but the loyal Scotch people have put their entire weight and energy to the wheel and we all know with what traditional gallantry and chivalry the loyal sons of .Scotland have acquitted themselves on the field of honour. As I walked Glasgow streets .f parties ularly noticed how comparatively few young men in mufti teere were about. Those I did see, I supposed were neces- sarily employed in the many ship - buildings concerns and munition factories thereabouts. It was different to Belfast and Dublin where there are so many able- bodied young men to he seen.• While at Loch Lomond I dropped into a little wayside restaurant for a meal of buttered scawn and Scotch broth, and the Iandlady, who readily engaged in a conversation with me, declared with true Scotch pride, that the young men in "civies" hanging s bout Glasgow were dumped in from England and Ireland to work in the war industries as they were "unable to hold our brave Scotch lads, They were off to the war. Thats the spirit we have here " Another thing I noticed, and which all visiting Canadian soldiers likewise notice is the kindly interest the Scotch manifest in Canadians At every opportunity they will engage in conversation with overseas visitors and ply then] with all sorts of questions concerning Canada and invariably they proudly tell therm, too, that a great measure of Canada's success and growth is due to the fine type of Scotch emigrants who have gone out there in years gone by. The Scotch, seemingly, have a warm place in their hearts for the Canucks and Canadian soldiers reciprocate this feeling for they have a warm place in their hearts for the good people in the land of the thistle. As I left on the midnight train for Lon- don on July 18th I felt that my visit both to Ireland and Scotland was indeed re- plete with experiences for the most part indescribably pleasant experiences that will ever remain fresh in my memory. After twelve such enjoyable days it was another experience indeed reporting for duty at the camp the following day, However, that is all part of army life. PTE H BELLAMY Shotncliffe, August 15th, 1917. "BAG W NQ1 UP 7) When a certain city man was a boy on the farm, cleaning wheat was one of the things he never liked to do, because he al- ways had to turn the fanning mill, and fanning mills in those days were about as hard to turn as a chopping box is now. It was an arm -aching, back -racking job Wheat in those days was queer stuff. Most of it had to be run through twice on ac - The river Doon or "Bonny Doon" rises count of the black peas, because in the in a lock of the same, name and Burne: battery of screens belonging monument which stands far distant has an g g to that old imposing appearance from here, It is similar in appearance to the one in 'Edin- burgh. In the circular apartments on the ground floor were exhibited several ap- propriate articles including the Bible given by Burns to his Highland Mary. Time and space will not permit ine go- ing into more details of my sight-seeing in•and around Ayr and my subsequent delightful steamer trip down the River Clyde, which is not only famous for its great ship -building at Glasgow, but is also noted for its beautiful scenery out to- wards the sea. Glasgow city itself is not apt at first to inspire any great admiration in visitors and the reason is obvious; the place is strictly utilitarian and all the inevitable attendant drawbacks of manufacturing the noise, the dirt, the smoke, are very apparent. Disregarding these things, however, one can appreciate the real won- der of this great hive of commerce, its enterprise and its administration Look- ing down from the great Glasgow bridge to the Broonielaw, as the harbour is call- ed, I could not help being vastly impress- ed with the large number of steamers ever arriving and departing- and meil swarming like ants loading and unloading. History of the city is a romance of commerce; and stranger as it may seem it was the dis- covery of America which gave Glasgow the first impetus on her successful career by reason of her control on the sugar and tobacco trade. George Square is in many senses the real centre of the city. Here is where the city chambers and other fine public build- ings are located and in the centre is the inagniflcent Scott nfonument, The in- teriors of the chambers struck me with great admiration. The employment of alabastee, marble and colored tiles in the principal stair cases, halls and corridor: producel) an effect of ivagnificienee not easily to be surpassed. On the south side of high street pro., Sects the Iron Steeple, a venerable but stunted spire dated from 1637. And passing down through Briggate, Glasgow Green, a very pretty park is reached. And returning via High street the prison, and what is called the"Bell of the Erae,'° where in the year 1300 the fight between the Englands and Scots took place is reached. I next visited the fatuous Cathedral which has the distinction of 'acing the only old minister in Scotland mg_ there was no sieve for cockle. The two of them, father and boy, had to clean up thirty bags for a load. It was a day's work. By near noon they . had ten bags bagged up and a fresh heap on the floor ready for the scoop. The father held up his hand when the hopper was empty, "Guess we'll bag that up." "Thank the Lord!" muttered the boy as he got an empty. Such a nice little heap of wheat. "Hope this heap will make five bags more," thought the boy, "I guess 'twill," He was always interested in how many bags a heap would make; always guessing at it Cleaning a Load of wheat in those days was a very human job, The heap made four bags and a half. Of course they don't do it that way now A load of wheat is only a chore to bag up now, with alf the extra machinery for cleaning and bagging. And it takes only an hour or so to have the barn floor alongside the hayniew and the granary wall looking like a snowbank with the white bags ready to load uti. But bag- ging up is just as interesting as it ever was when a bag of wheat was worth only about 51.65. It's the time wheel the farmer begins to get a pretty clear esti- mate of what how much wheat he really has at 32.20 a Bushell. In the old days though a load of wheat meant a whole lot, It might mean, inter- est on a mortgage, or taxes) anything to keep the farm and the farmer together. These days it may mean just deposit- ing a cheque in the town batik. Down inOttawa pretty soon a farmer named TOM White will be bagging up his wheat to pay off part of Canada's obliga- tions in the war, to help England go on buying wheat and other things from Canada. He expects when it's all bagged up to have at least 3150,000,000. He may have more. But if he doesn't get the $150,000,000 he won't be satisfied with his national crop, And in the Mat- ter of buying Canada's Victory Bonds very likely the Canadian fartmers will see. to it that Farmer White in Ottawa lia5 all his hags chockfull and a geed bight-ap on the floor when its all bagged. up, isnirmslirmilowroMmtemlniutoftra 0130 ectli,Ltit '—Try Howick, oil Sumo, ids t1:44: ,sf Ir..ku 211 tf'l:fsti .t � • +-,rs Jnrt q CS1�tiPi, ti` d good perserVatiotl, the chief feature of , S3 years, • i buriday NoY. sib 1917 XXXXX1414)110g ,114XX N ,, --ISARD'S — N a Y , rK,., , ., ,, I N 4 4 4 4 MWONE,)V'S PLUSH COATS • 1.4.1 Navy and Green, Regular value 318 to 320 On sale at 315.

Employees Safeguarded Amongst the penalties provided for in- fractions of the Military 'Service Act is a very necessary and useful instrument de- signed to guard employees from employ- ers who make a reduction of wages or some such alteration in working conditions as a condition for applying for the ex- emption of a man or men in their employ, Any employer guilty of such conduct is liable to a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment for six months. The honorable course for employers to follow under the Act is to applyy,. exemption faithfully and loyally for the men whose work is essential to the success to their business and who cannot be re. placed, or who have special qualificaticne not to be duplicated, and not to make the application for any indirect or improper purpose, whatsoever.
