ORGANIZE
for Victory!
ONTARIO
THE THIRD YEAR OF THE WAR calls for the organized co-opera-
tion of every citizen of the Province of Ontario. ALL must help to hasten
the day of final triumph. For the sake of those who have made the Great
/training, every citizen must give
Sacrifice, and of those now overseas or in
the best service possible. No one need f/el "out of it" when the great day
of Victory comes, but everyone must qualify now by sharing in the sacrifices
which the War demands.
Suggestlor Is for Crganization
In many Municipalities theirs are already
active patriotic organizations, ■nch as Recxaitiag,
Rod Cross, Soldiers' Aid and Patriotic Paid Com-
mittees. In such c.ses, ono of these, or, better
still, a joint committee of those and the citiseas
generally. might undertake to co-operate with
the Central Coraaoittae at Toronto.
Wb.re then* is no active repree.atativs
organization, it is suggested that one hs fornaad
at the earliest moment. It sbosid be non-
partisan (in the broadest sense), and represent
every interest affected by war conditions.
What Organizations Should Do
1. Find more sen for Oversos's osrvice.
2. Help in keeping our sennitieas plants wovidng
to fun repadty.
3. Induce every possible werkor, man and
woman, to serve on the farm and is ether
essential iadnehiss.
4. Fiad roomy for the amine WAR LOAN
and war furs+
5. la short, assist in tiro organiratisn of
Ontarfs's resources is soot war coaslitisas
and after -war oanditlonS.
THRIFT and ECONOMY, and a careful consideration and preparation
for our problems are essential if we would meet the present and future needs.
For further suggestions and information you are cordially requested to write
at once to ALBERT H. ABBOTT, Ph.D., Secretary, Organization of
Resources Committee, Parliament Buildings, Toronto.

SEEKING RECRUITS
Lieut. T. H. Taylor, of the 239th
Battalion, Railway Construction Corps,
who has been engaged as an architect
in Vancouver, B. C., for some years,
is in quest of 200 recruits for bis unit.
The regiment, although regarded as
a British Columbia corps, is being
mobolized at Valcartier for brief train-
ing preparatory to transport to Eng-
land. There the men will continue at
practical work for a time before pro-
ceeding to France. There will be little
in the nature of military drill, as the
coLps is intended for construction duty
and not for combatant effort.

similar to those existing in Great Bri-

has also been asked to approve the
shipment to Toronto as a 20•foot model
1st. Mrs. Fisher was born in Nova ' of the Hercules, a first class battleship
Scotia in 1833, she, with her parents built in 1911, and at present one of
coming to Huron County some few years
afterwards, where all the rest of her
life was spent. Her husband, Alex.
Fisher, predeceased her some 51 years
ago. She is survived by daughter, Mrs.
Lizzie Cudmore, and one sister, Mrs.
Kennedy.
A pretty wedding took place in St.
Joseph's Church, Clinton, on Tuesday
morning, August 1st, when Miss Mary
Levy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. dames
Levy, was united in marriage to Mr.
Gregory C. Campbell, of Galt. Miss
Ella Duncan, of Seaforth, acted as
bridesmaid, and little Miss Lucy Brown
was flower girl. The groom was sup-
ported by Mr. Will Hogan, of Ashfield,
while Rev. Father Hogan performed
the ceremony.
Word was received last week from
Col. Young in Cochrane, a former well-
known resident of Goderich, that he had
escaped being burned in the forest fire,
but had lost everything. This is a
second experience of the kind for him.
He was through the last big fire and
lost all his belongings. He formerly
commanded the 33rd Huron Regiment.
To lie nearly a day with a broken arm
and other bruises without receiving any
attention was the distressing experience
that befell Mrs. Patrick Ford, an aged
lady of Goderich. While about her
work on Wednesday of last week Mrs.
Ford, who is over 80 years of age, was
suddenly overcome by a weak spell and
fell, breaking her left arm above the
elbow and severely bruising her head.
AFTER two years of unprecedented
expenditure of men and resources we
arrive at the conclusion that confidence
of human beings or the lack of it is the
greatest actor in the undertaking of
one another in determining the prevail-
ing condition of business. The old theory
of supply and demand falls down some-
what in the face of recent experiences.
By means of it we were accustomed to
argue that a reduction in a supply of
labor meant a shortage of goods pro-
duced, big demands on the market for
capital meant higher interest rates and
so forth. Yet in the face of tremendous
demands for capital we actually find
interest rates below those of 1914, and
in fact below the normal level of the
past ten years. In the face of the
removal of a great proportion of men
from production we find that output
actually exceeds that of 1914. The
capacity of the human being to econo-
mize, to increase production, sacrifice
time, effort and wealth in the interest
of the state, in fact to adjust himself
to a totally different condition of supply
and demand, these make up the human
quantity in the economic eduation, and
it is this human and incalculable
quantity that is determining one.
At the end of the war we may have
tremendous interest burdens, ashortage
of goods and labor, but we shall almost
certainly have a tremendous wave of
confidence one in another that will out-
weigh the effects of the mathematical
burdens of war at least for a time. At
the beginning of the war we faced the
situation with so little confidence that
we reorganized our whole way of living
and producing and borrowing without
serious trouble. The reverse should be
the case at the end of the war. We
should have a wave of confidence that
will bring borrower and lender together,
each keen to do business and we may
feel sure that that wave of confidence
will sweep us past the dangers of col-
lapsing commodity prices and abandon-
ed munition plants. Surely with a re-
storation of confidence in ourselves and
the most powerful in the British navy.
An effort was made to secure a sub-
marine for exhibition on the water-
front, but the Admirality protested on
the ground that every one now avail-
able is required for war purposes.
Negotiations have since been opened
with the United States government
for the loan of one, but so far no de-
finite answer has been received.
Mrs. Charles McKinnon, aged 62
years, passed away at her home in
Glamis on Monday, 31st day of July.
The late Mrs. McKinnon was born in
Elora, her maiden name being Mary
Ann McDonald. She married Charles
McKinnon forty-three years ago. They
lived for a time in Huron Township and
then moved to the 10th Kincardine
where they resided until about eleven
years ago when they moved to the
John Ross farm on the boundary of
Kincardine and Bruce. About two
years ago Mr. and Mrs. McKinnon
moved into the village of Glamis.
The death took place Sunday morning
of Elizabeth Templeton, widow of the
late Isaac Salkeld, of Goderich town-
ship. at the age of 90 years. She was
born in Scotland and came to this
country while a girl and settled in this
neighborhood, where she had resided
ever since. The deceased leaves to
survive four daughters. Mrs. R. Gor-
don and Mrs, Miller, of St. Helens, Miss
May, at home, and two sons, John and
Isaac, at home.

him believes he tries to live it:
Teach me that sixty minutes make

one hundred cents one dollar.
Help me to live so that I can lie down
at night with a clear conscience, with-

have brought pain. Grant, I beseech
thee, that I may earn my meal -ticket

I may not stick the gaff where it does
not belong.
Deafen me to the jingle of tainted
money and rustle of unholy skirts.
Blind to me the faults of the other fel-

Guide me so that each night when I
look across the dinner table at my wife,
who has been a blessing to me, I will
have nothing to conceal.
Keep me young enough to laugh with
my children and to lose myself m their
play.

One of the most disastrous fires that
has visited Teeswater for some time
occured on Friday night, when Mr. G.
H. Hasenflug's general store was gutted.
The fire orginated at the back of the
building, where some paper and refues
had been burned in the evening, and it
is thought that a spark from this source
must have set fire to the building. Mr.
Hasenfluag will suffer heavily through
this misfortune, as he carried a large
stock and it was only lightly insured.
