PRINCE TO VISIT U. S.
AFTER CANADIAN 'TRIP
.A. despatch from London says:—
The Prince of Wales will visit the
United. States next month as a guest
of the Arenicaii Government. King
Gorge, on behalf of the Prince, has
aecepted an invitation sent the Prince
by President Wilson to visit the Presi-
dent in Washington.
After his visit to Canada the. Pr'nce
will go to Washington for a few days
as a guest of the United States Gov-
ernment, and later will make a brief
visit to New York, where he will live

nown ,in New York harbor, although

MOTION OF WOMAN
BARS HOHENZOLLERN
A despatch from Weimar says:—No
member of a family that at any time
has ruled in Germany is eligible for
the office of President of Germany.
The National Assembly has thus ruled
by adopting a motion of one' of its
women members, Frau Agnus.

CANADA RESUMES
TRADE WITH GERMANY
A despatch from Ottawa says: --
Canada's mail service has been re-
sumed with Germany, as Great Brit; in
is now exporting to a certain extent
into Germany, and as it has practically
been decided here that Canada will
follow automatically all the moves of
the -. United Kingdom towards a re-
sumption of trade, it may be said that
Canada has also resumed trade rela-
tions. It is noe`yet eertaiu whether
another order in Council may be neces-
sary to make sure but this matter is
now under consideration by the De-
partment of Justice.
ONE CANADIAN CITY
REDUCES DEBT IN WAR.
A despatch from Winnipeg ,says:—
During the past five years, under war
conditions, the net debt of the city of
Winnipeg has been reduced by $7,893,-
403.12. During the fiscal year ending
April 30, 1919, the debt was cut down
by $1,592,236.0e. These are two of the
outstanding features in the annual re-
port of Sinking Fund Trustees sub-
mitted to the City Council.

A PLEA FOR GOOD ROADS.
You, Cunt ::scud away for GOOD ROADS. The work must be done at home. The worst enemy of GOOD
ROADS is out-of`town buying, The only GOOD ROADS movement that is worth tittle is that leading to the
Home Town, The model comurunity is honeycombed with good roads—all highways to the town market, mak-
ing it easy of access to the farthest farm. GOOD ROADS and TRADING AT HOME go hand in hand. They are
inseparable. You can't have one without the other. Every order sent out of town puts a stumbling block in the
movement for GOOD ROADS. But every dollar you spend at borne is a paving block in the path at progress and.
economy. Join the "Trade -at -Home" brigade to -day.
