Itis a scrap of paper, but not signed by a Nation of .Rune, BUT by a British Nation--ohr own beloved Dominion of Canada, whose promises to pay youare accepting every day in the shape of Dol' lar Bilis. You lend your Governments, say, $50. 00, $100.00, $500.00, or $1000,00 to help win this war. They "bond" themselves, that is, BIND themselves for every hun- dred dollars you loan them to pay you $2 75, for every six months for the use of the money, and then at the end of the time, either five years, ten years or twenty years as you may choose, to pay you EVERY DOLLAR YOU LOANED them. In buying a Victory Bond you thus help "WIN THE WAR" keep factories and other businesses moving, get your interest regularly, and all your money back when due. From every standpoint. Business In. vestment, Duty to your Home, and patri- otic obligation to your Country, you should INVEST IN A VICTORY WAR BOND.

Not only are these acts reprehensible And unpatriotic but also dishonest and in some cases Punish- able by fine and imprisonment. An in- stance is quoted where an apprehensive parent glued a formidable plaster on the back of his stalwart son, which was ruth- lessly removed by order of the medical examiner, who diagnosed the decorated back as a particularly capable one, But Dad had also scraped acquaintance with the examiner and confided to him that his unfortunate son was quite deaf, and on the doctor casually asking the son in an ordinary tone of voice; "Can you hear what I say?" the stupid youth at once re- plied; No, sir, I can't," It was said a member of the exemption board was also approached in the same case.

THE SAME OLD PRICES Did you ever reflect that your dollar has only a purchasing power of 00 cents compared to four years ago. In one case, however, a dollar will do as much for you new 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 money 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. We wish also to call your attention to the fact that there is no increase in Fire, Life or Accident Insurance rates. We also sell R.R. tickets at the same old prices except for the war tax that goes direct to tate Government. 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Ritchie & Cosens Insurance and Real Estate Wingham DRUGLESS PHYSICIAN CHIROPRACTIC THE PARALLEL OI~ 1864. Parties Joined. zto Vu Snpltort CoafUaedaderatton,ion to There is only one parallel to the present situation at Ottawa in the history of Canada, and that is the formation of the coalition of 1864. It Is true that the union of that day embraced the leader of the. party op• posed to the Government, namely, George Brown, The union of to -day does not iaelude Sir Wilfrid Laurier, but it does include leading then of the Liberal party in numbers to jus- tify a comparison. As in 1917, so in 1864. The union followed a long period' of uncertainty and to some' extent stalemate. The coalition of 1864 solved the federa- tion issue. The union of to -day is expected to solve the problems of the proper prosecution of the war and give force and harmony to the appli- cation of conscription. In both cases the proceeding has been a bold stroke, a heroic attempt to end an impossible condition.. At this moment there are probably thousands of men in both parties who think all is lost because their party has merged with the other. In their belief in the value of party dis- cipline they think the loss is greater than any possible gain. It is worth recalling the conditions of 1,864. George Brown and John A. Macdon- ald had been political and personal enemies for years. They bitterly as- sailed each other, and it was the last thought in anyone's mind that they would ever bury the hatchet. Yet this is just what they did. They cast aside personal prejudices and differ- en,ces for the welfare of their coun- try, Election had followed election and one Cabinet after another had fallen, when Brown expressed to two Conservative members one day his willingness to co-operate with any Government that would settle the constitutional difficulty. The next . nubile reconciliation on day saw •,, a. -... _. the floor of Parliament at Quebec, when Brown and Macdonald, stand- ing in the centre of the assembly rrbm, discussed the situation and ar- ranged an interview which resulted in coalition. It is worth recalling that this achievement was regarded as sensa- tional and far-reaching at the time. James Ferrier of Montreal, during the subsequent Confederation de- bates in 1865, said the legislators "all thought, in fact that a political millennium had arrived." Sir Rich- ard Cartwright, then an obscure member of the House, has left a de- lightful picture of an incident of the day, "In that memorable afternoon," he told the Ottawa Canadian Club in 1906, "when 'Mr. Brown, not with- out emotion, made his statement to a hushed and expectant House, and de- clared that he was about to'ally him- self with Sir George Cartier and his friends for the purpose of carrying out Confederation, I saw an excit- able, elderly little French member rush across the floor, climb up on Mr. Brown, who, as you remember, was of a stature approaching the gi- gantic, fling his arms about his neck, and hang several seconds there sus- pended, to the visible •consternation of Mr. Brown and to the infinite joy of all beholders, pit, box, and gallery included." While this joy was evident in some quarters, it was not everywhere. There was a considerable opposition to coalition in Lower Canada and some in Upper Canada, Alexander Mackenzie, John Sandfield Macdon- ald, M. C. Cameron, and others were at the time opponents of Confedera- tion, as were A. A. Dorion, Christo- pher Dunkin and others in Lower Canada,but they lived to change their minds, accept the new conditions loyally, and render valuable service under the new conatitution.

In memory of the late Tom Thompson, the distinguished young Canadian artist, an, imposing cairn has been erected in the wilds of Algonquin Park. It overlooks Canoe Lake, whose beauties the young artist made everlasting and is situat- ed close to the spot where he met death by drowning last July. The memorial is cut from the native atone and a brass plate with the fol- lowing inscription is imbedded in the solid rock. ''To the memory of Tom Thomp- son, artist, woodsman and guide, who was drowned in Canoe Lake, July 8th, 1917, "He lived humbly but passionately with the wild. It made him brother to all untamed things of nature. It drew him apart and revealed itself wonderfully to him. It sent him out from the woods, only to show these revelations through his art, and it took him to itself at last. "His fellow artists and other friends an,d admirers join gladly in this tribute to his character and genius." His body is buried at Owen Sound, Ontario, near where he was born, August, 1877.
