Business
0YBusiness men are gradually draw-
ing nearer to the cash system. The
meet:bents of Zurich, Blake, Drysdale
and Dashwood have come to an un-
deratanding to do away with the
yearly .credit ,system, and are about
to make an effort to confine credits
to three months. The business men
of \'Vinglram are considering adopt-
ing a purely rash system after the
first of the year. Losses .on tee
credit system are enormous, tetany
yea ago when it was largely a case
of the farmers bringing in produce
and trading it for store goods, and
when the workman received his wages
at the end of the year;, it was not so
unreasonable; but to -day, when the
farmer gets cash for everything he
sells and the workman is paid weekly
car •every two weeks, it es tune the
business man got down to something
t'est'er cash than he has. now. All the
Wholesalers ever allow him is 30
days and that should be long enough
to Allow Anyone. The quicker the!
business iuen adopt acash or nearly
cash system the better it will be for
everybody.

LETTER. FROM THE FRONT,
Slrorneliffe, Nov 15, 1916
Dear Mother,—Just a few lines to.
day to let you know I am well and
arrived in England safe. We had a
gine trip. our boat beirte.anood one. It
was rough only one day and the rest
of the trip was fine. We tvere twelve
days on the water, but the time passe
ed quickly. I worked all the way
over cooking, rind I was not sick at
all. There were n lot of the boys
sick. There were about twenty-six
hundred soldiers on our boat, besides
there being four ship loads' of soldiers
and one escort -a gun boat. After
we got out to mid -ocean we were
met by five destroyers and they
guarded us to Liverpool, arriving
tbere Saturday morning about air
o'clock, and from there we went on
to the camp at Shorncliffe, We are
not settled yet in our winter quar-
ters. but win move in a few days.
The weather is fine here but .cool
nights. This is a grand country tad
I like it very much. We expect to
get a six-day pass soon, when I will
take a run down to Devonshire and
see Mrs, Musk* This will give
me an opportunity to see a lot of
this country, There are two nice
towns only two mi;'ies distant from
here and we are just twenty miles
from France and a mile from the
sea. All the boys are Well and thus
far have enjoyed themselves. I hope
you wort worry about me as I am
all right and I never felt better. Am
gettin, quite fleshy again. The trip
has sure done me good: " I never
missed a meal ;on the boat. It is
some sight to see ten big -boats all
together. We don't .know- anything
about the war here, all we know is
that it is still going on. The papers.
publishvery little. You will know
far more there than we do. The only
thing we are getting closer to it all
the time. We now are only about 30
miles away from where they are
fighting and it wont be long before
we shall hear the cannons roar.. Well
I will close for this time, Will be
able to give you more news when I.
return from my six days leave of .ab-
sence, I 'remain your loving soar.

To Mrs. TMckson
First Vice -President of BUTor
Patriotic League
Dear Friend.—
On this our last evening together,
let us express to you our apprecia-
tion of the help you have 'boon to as
la oar Patriotic work, This terrible
war took us all by ;surprise., We who
had been comfortably enjoying our-
selves by onr own firesides, could
not but bear the insistent =call from
the battle fields of France and Flan-
ders.
It seemed as if everything were want
ed et once. Everyone was willing to
help. But leaders, that was the great
need. We now know we made rio ruin'..
take evhen we almost Insisted on your
being ane of our officiary. Ever since
our organization you have nobly
stood by .us, stinting trate nor mance
tary assistance, eohcitiaus only that
the work went on,
Now to us comes the los, but we
know 'that your .heart is still with
us., and that the Exeter Patriotic
League twill ever fine a friend in
Ott,
This terrible war cloud that is
.casting Ramble pall over our hearths
and homes, even it has silvery gleams
that encourage us es we tread the
beaten 'traotc of our daily lives.
As eve have met week by week in
our self-appointed tasks,. as we have
discussed'waya and means of getting
the gold to purchase comforts for our
soldier boys, friendships have been
formed that never could have under
ordinary oiroumstanoes,
And I know I am voicing the feel-
ing of every one of they womeiy when
I say 'we part with you with the
greatest 'regret. And I am. sure we
rust toot let Miss Diels on pass out of
our midst without thanking ,her for
her steadfast allegiance and help.
Rut these days of stress and strain
surely ball us to greater iservice.Our
friends of the Nortle will gain while
;we lose.
And now as 'we say Good -'bye,. we
also say Cod -!Speed, and es your path
broadens out on n new sphere that
opens up before you, be sure that our
very best Wisbes follow you and yours
Mrs. 1!. Hooper, President.
Mrs. Ed. Treble, Airs. J. McGillicuddy
Mrs. IR. E. Pickard, MTs. W. J. leer,
Ctrs, Wesley Snell
Did you say 'tis an old; 'scrap of pakper
Only ,on old exempted sheet,
Ah knee It brings !back memories'
Of *lays that were bitter—sweet,
Litter with thoughts of our loved ones
Away in the midst of the strife,
Sweet with the guerdon of service
That so ennobled our lives.
And scarce could we see our knitting,
For the tears in our eyes unshed.
elut bravely we conquered our' feelings
And •faster our needier, sped.
For mothers should never be cowards,
Whose boys are so loyal and true
But smile 'though our hearts be
breaking,
Yes, Gmilingly, say adieu. '
But Canada's sons are heroes,
And !Canada's mothers are true.
The dawn in the east is breaking,
The War Lords days are few.
The morn is aglow with splendor,,
The flag of Freedom's unfurled;
Peace, {peace, is the great proclamation
Yes. peace, for the. wide, wide' world.
