EDITORIAL NOTES.
It may be necessary, Lord Kitchener
says, for no less than thirty army
divisions to be plaeed in the field and
maintained by Great Britain, An
army division consists approximately of
2.2,000 men, so that the force may reach
660,000 mein The war strength of the
British regular army is 3'50.000 and of
the Territorials (honee defence) 314,000.
What a nunaber of reserves will be re-
quired! It means a heavy tax in men
and money on the resources of the Em-
pire, but she will be equal to it, and
Canada will do her share willingly in
contributing either in taxes or men: -
Stratford Beacon.
The unanimity of sentiment in the
this country against Gernaany is sur-
prising, Jt is not anti -German and it
is not pro English. It seems to be a
judgement given promptly and spon-
taneously on the merits of the case as
seen by American eyes. As a people
we have come in the last 50 years to be
almost as near kin to the Germans as
to the English. We respect the Ger-
man ability and value German friend-
ship; nevertheless, the American mind
records and discloses with hardly appre-
ciable dissent the impression that the
English, French and Russians are fight-
ing in this war in behalf of the liberties
of all the world, and that Germany and
Austria are seeking•to impose on the
world a despotic authority to which it
would be ruinous to yield. -New York

REVENUE KEEP/NG UP.
The financial statement of the Dom-
inion for the month of August shows
that, despite war conditions, revenue
is keeping up better than might be ex-
pected. The total revenue for the
month was $14406,104, being a decrease
of only $351,749, as compared with
August of last year. Customs revenue
for the month was $8,245,148. a decrease
os $1,600,573, but there were increases
in postoffice and other sources of revenue
The real effect of the war on customs
revenue wili, however, hardly be shown
until next month. since many cargoes
were on the ocean when the war broke
out. The cessation or cancellation of
import orders will be reflected in the
customs figures from now on.
The revenue for the first five months
of the fiseal year totalled $60,378,118, a
decrease of $11,250,339, • as compared
with the corresponding period of last
year.
The net debt of the Dominion at the
end of the month was $332,061,933, an
increase of only $188,118 during the
month, but an increase of $31,311,038,
as compared with August 31 last year.
The statement shows Government
temporary leans outstanding amounting
to $8,273,333, representing advances
from Canadian banks.
CUL R0Sg.
On Aug. 23rd, after a long period of
patient suffering, Rehert McCellough
of Con, 8, entered into rest. Mr. Mc-
Cullough was born in the County of
Antrim, Ireland on Nov. 12th, 1842.
When five years of age he came to
Canada with his parents who settled in
the township of Buckingham, Quebec,
where he remained eleven years. In
1618 the family came to Culross. Ilere
Mr. 'McCullough spent the remainder of
his life with the exception of six years
1869-1875 which he passed in the lum-
ber woods of*Wisconsin. On April 4,
1883 he was married to Miss Jane
Roane of Culross. He leaves a widow
and six children to mourn his loss;
Margaret, the only daughter and the
two young sons, Ernest and Edward
are living at home, Samuel and Robert
at Quappelle, Sask.; and Gilbert at
Dinsmore, Sask., also two brothers
Samuel of Buckingham, Quebec, and
James of Teeswater, the only two now
living of a family of eight. In the
passing away of Mr. McCullough the
community where he lived has lost a
kind, helpful neighbor, the Presbyterian
church a worthy member, and the be-
reaved family a good and faithful hus-
band and father.

GORRIE.
Mary Earngey, beloved wife of J. R.
Williams, of Gorrie, was suddenly called
away from the scenes of this life on
Sunday evening, Aug. 23rd, She had
not enjoyed the best of health for some
years, but was about as usual until the
end came. She had attended service in
the morning, remained to class -meeting,
and was on her way to evening service
when suddenly stricken with heart
failure which resulted in her death a
few minutes later. Mrs. Williams was
the daughter of Wm. and Catharine
Earngey, who passed away only a few
years ago. after a long residence in
Howick Township. Some 19 years ago
she was married to her now sorrowing
husband. She was a faithful and earn-
est member of the Methodist Church,
testifying on the last day of her life to
her faith in Jesns Christ, and her desire
to do the will of God. She was affec-
tionate in disposition, kind to all with
whom she had to do, a devoted wife
and a thoughtful loving sister.

The Backbone of
National Prosperity
FARMING is by common consent the basis
of our national wealth and prosperity. The
farmers of Canada have, for the past two years,
been getting top prices for what they have had
to sell and have been able to obtain what they
have had to buy at moderate prices. The war
means better times for the farmer.
Where the foundations of national. wealth and prosperity
are sound and assured, hopefulness may build her structures
with confidence.
Business in Canada can and will be good if our business
men will do their utmost to keep the bottom in the business.
Advertising is a good workman for the job.
When the Canadian Farmer -prospers, all is well
