"ENGLAND EXPECTS THAT EVERY MAN THIS DAV tVILL DO HIS DUTY" Trafalgar Day, October 21st. FIGHT OR PAY The cause of Freedom needs our help, The old Land's in the fray, It's up to every lion's whelp To either fight or pay. The bloody Turk and Savage Hun Still ravish, burn and slay, Each loyal son must man a gun, Or stay at home and pay. Our sisters, mothers. sweethearts, wives, They nurse, and knit, and pray, Let men forego their selfish lives, And either fight or pay. The call is clear to sacrifice Our life, our purse, our play; Ere Honor dies, let us arise And either fight or pay. "England expects from every man His duty on this day," 'Twee thus Lord Nelson's message ran Ere he began the fray, Shall we our noble heritage, See crumbling down like clay, This goodly age, a blotted page, And neither fight nor pas? +Nay! While our British blood rune red, Let those refuse who may, We'll heed what mighty Nelson said On old Trafalgar day. At Duty's call,rand stake our all, To fight, or pay, or pray.

At a special meeting of the town council held on Friday evening of last week, it was decided to sell debentures to • the amount of $2,000 and donate that amount to the Red Cross Fund.

"We shall be truly grateful to you for assistance in relieving the sufferings of our wounded soldiers and sailors from all parts of, the Dominions." Lansdowne, ,President British Red Cross Society..

Collectors on October 21 wn'i1 solicit your sub- scription ---or make it through your Mayor or Reeve. Would anyone and everyone donate some article of household furniture, grain, potatoes, fruit or anything to this committee to be sold by public mutton for the benefit of the Red Cross, Remember the lad in Toronto who last year donated a street car ticket, all he had to donate, that ticket was sold by auction and added $1030 to the `fund.
