The Exeter Advocate, 1919-9-11, Page 3OUR ROYAL GUEST
His Royal Highness has captured:
"Canada's heart. Canadians had heard
eifc the Prince's democratic charm fro
the fighting men who met him at the!
front, and they were prepared to like i
hint when he carne. As her future;
ruler, Canada gave hint a loyal and
enthusiastic welcome. But there is at
force bigger and more compelling;
"even than that, which draws all!
hearts to the Prince as he journeys'
across our Dominion. It is his ownI
personality, his unaffected, straight-
forward, winning boyishness. It is

the unspoiled heart. Dignified as be-
`tbmos his high position, courageous
as he piovrel en the battlefield, it is,
after all. his quiet sympathy ard;eon-;
sideration that has won Canada's:
homage. ,.
The Prince has now been seen in
Canada under all sorts of coriditiin
at all corks of functions, formal and
otherwise, and it is very evident that

white-haired man with his expression
of utter indifference, his air of de-

in French, casing his eap in the air

Prince! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah:,

with excitement, his waving cap, and,
who knows, his handsome face maybe
holds the Royal visitor's gaze. For
a moment it was just one fine youth
gazing understandingly at another.
Then the eyes of the Prince moved on
to the bent figure and the grim patri-
cian face of the old mars. The warmth
' of his answering salute to the lad was
still in his ganee, the sniili-•whu e

with the visit of the Prince occurred
at Quebec. Among the throng stood
an old man arid a young man. They

BELGIUM. RECOVERING
' FROM WAR STRAIN
A despatch from London says: -
"Belgium has got her feet out of the
mud quicker than any other European
country," says a widely known busi-
ness man, who recently has been in-
vestigating the situation in that war -
devastated land. Other business men
corroborate that opinion.
In his latest trip through Belgium,
Mr. Hoover found remarkable devel-
opment and learned that the pre-war
railway facilities have now almost
been attained, and that all the great
industries are rapidly approaching an
efficient producing point. Owing to
the compactness of the kingdom, it
has been possible for the workers in
all the districts to be made fully
aware of she necessity of getting to
work with all speed.
"In this world it is not what we
take up, but what we give up that
makesus rich." --Beecher.
