TIM WINtiliMil TIMES 14LIOTT, Prtarasusa AXI1 PitoVIVic,ott THURSDAY, SiPTEMBER 24, 1.91,4 TO willondtm's YOUNG MEN, The place thatCada holds today among the m tioas of the world has largely been determined by the strength and spirit of her young men. Our Can- adian boys have ever fitted their places in the arts of peace, aod the power and resourcefulness developed in our brac- ing climate has placed many of them as leaders in the world and we are proud of them. Should the time ever come when our young men are found weak and lagging, lacking m enthusiasm, vision and etrang endeavor, we may look for a country whose prosperity and fair name are soon to be things of the 'past. To our young men we look at all times for leaders in our noble profes- sions and mighty iddustries. Aye and should the time ever -.tome when dan- ger threatens this fair land ef ours we will look to the young men to defend our homes with theie strength. We hope and that such a time may never come but the present struggle in Europe has shown us that it may even yet be required of as to shoulder the rifle to guard our British freedom. We have seen our boys in times past in the forefront of battle. strong in theis purpose, firm in their tread, true to their trust. They have acquitted themselves in the art of wer as nobly as in the arts of peace. But strength and honor come not to the unprepared. Were we to look back over the lives of those who have so bravely marched to the front and withstood the force of conflict, we would find their strength was gained thrcugh pteparation by patient toil and thought, self-discipline and &ill. The strongest and the truest are those whose training has been gain- ed before the final charge. Young man, can you afford to remain unprepared? You may be needed. Our armoury is ready, caeable officers are in command and instruction will be giv- en gladly. Arrangements have been made for regular drill, and rifle prac- tice both indoors and out so that no one need contplain of his not having a chance. Preparation may be had here, amid eongenial and pleasant surround- ings, in all but actual field practice whice is given in the annual camps. In return our country °lily asks that you be willing to bind yourself for a period of three years to go to her defence in case of need. Service foesany purpose other than Canadian defence is entirely voluntary even after enlisting. Witt you do your part? We do not wish to encourage the militaryspirit but preparedness may be the piece of our freedom and a vol- untary service prevents that military oppression which is so conspicuous in some European countries today.

To stop one's advertising is to ' withdraw a powerful offeosive andde- feosive force and to expose ones busi- ness without a guard. If the courage of manufacturers, wholesalers, retaitere-the generals and captains of industry -fails the courage Of the nation will ebb. Of local conditions The TIDIES has no occasion to complain. The beet adver- tisers, instead of practising false economy, have maintained, their usual space and in some cases have increased their space, in preference to curtailing ad thus giving the baying public the impression that conditions were even adversely affecting there. A live local paper is deserving of loyal support. Without the advertisements no paper could well exist. Without the assistance that the merchants give the public could not expect to secure a paper at any such rate as a dollar a year. But although the advertisers are given value -and good value most mer- chants find -for their money, it is only right that the public should st.pport those merchants who make the publica- tion of a local newspaper a possibility, This would be a "dead" town if the policy of certain people was generally adopted. The present critical situation finds the press generally co-operating to ad- vance where possible the optimistic view of Canada's condition, especially from an industrial standpoint. It is not the intention to create a faese impression, but rather to put the sitaatien before the publie in as bright a light as possible and to discourage thatinclination in many to toke an un- necessarily dark view of the situation. The citisen laboring un ''.et the illusion that because of the war in Europe, Cannda's industrial concerns are all go- ing to sau.sh, is the tate whom the itre$s is trying to touch and t‘ -t rnabe realize th,(lern any's industry, for et:ample, beitt,t; pe.retic-Illy at a stnndstill.

How great has been the change in the sentiment of the world towards the consumption of alcoholic liquor during the last fifteen years is shown by the change that has taken place in the sup- plies for soldiers. When the Canadians who volunteered for service in Africa left for the front, they were from the day they sailed from Halifax to the day they got back, supplied with a ration of rum twice a week. The whole army fighting in Africa was given its rum as a necessity all through the campaign. To -day things are different. Among the first items of news that came fr om Russia after the outbreak of the war is the startling announcement that the sale of liquor thrcughout Russia has been prohibited. From Lord Kitchhen- er, the Minister of War, we hear that no spirituous liquors will be forwarded to the English soldiers fighting in France. Not only will the government not send over regular rations, but it also refuses to forward consignments made by friends as gifts to individual soldiers. In Canada, Colonel Hughes has shown himself equally opposed to the use of liquor by the men, and has made the strongest regulations .against its introduction to the camp at Val- cartier, even threatening Ea dismiss front the service any man found with liquor in his posseseion. These are signs of the times, which indicate how strongly and universally the tide of public opinion in settling against ileo - bac drinks. Montreal Weekly Witness. CURTAILING AGRICULTURAL EXPENDITURE. Those interested in Ontario's agricul- ture will he rather surprised to know that the expert judges usually sent out by the Department of Agriculture to do thejudging at the smaller fairs through- out the province will be cut of this year. The Department has also eecided to hold no Farmers' Institute meetings this winter outside of a few which may be specially arranged for, and at time of writing several other omissions from the general course of encouragement to agriculture are being considered, It seems rather strange after all that is being said regarding the increase in production whieh Ontario and Canadian farms should show during the next few years that so many of the means of helping the farmer to effect this increase are being cutoff, Of course, the money stringency is blamed for all the trouble, and this is traced to the war, but it seems to us that everything possible should be done to encourage the farmer to push the business as he has never done before. With the talk in the air that there are to be no institute meet- ings, no expert judges, and some go so far as to predict that there will be no Winter Fairs, the farmers of this country are becoming imbued with the same spirit of fear and pessimism that has al- ready gripped n. good many of the manufacturing industries. Surely the money is available somewhere to carry on most of this work, none of which is extremely costly. There is a danger of curtailing ex- penses at the expense of production and the country at large. It might be well if those in eharge would weigh care- fully the outcome of the precedure before finally deciding to make further rednctions in the work intended to increase the output of Ontario farms. Let not the war be so far-reaching as to cut into our very vitals, vis., our food supplies. -Farmers Advocate.
