WAR news has put the "cheer tips

Hvaeeer for the boys of the laud of the

We give them the premier place and
hope many of the brave lads may be

WE should not forget to continue the
spirit of Thanksgiving,' supposiug the
government appointed day has passed
by. Continual 'thanksgiving would
not be unbecoming, especially by Cana-
dians.
SHORTAGE of fuel is sound argument
for congregations to double up duriug
the cold weather and thereby cruserve
fuel. There is not much danger of any
el the churches beteg overcrowded even
if such a wise course is decided upon.
Jun now the Crown Prince cannot be

RoEAL Tempters of 'Temperance has
raised its insurance rates for the third
time with the intent of making the Or-

they must give value rather than gain a
dollar by investing a dime. All fratern

TIMEX is.a strong demand to prohibit
if possible, the crossing of the Rhine by
the German army before they surrender
We guess there will be no danger if
General Foch can prevent it but it is uo
easy matter always to capture a fleeing
army, especially when near home and
well acquainted with short cuts, The
die is cast however, we believe, and the
spurious doctrine that Might is Right
bas received a solar plexus blow from
which it will never recover. No one
will profit more from this than the Ger-
man people.

grain, The Sabbath School work is one
of the most important departments of
eburcb and should have the united sup-
port of every home in the land. It is
the hand maiden of the faintly and the
training ground of the church,
By reading the Police Court proceed-
ings in the daily papers of various cities
a person might almost come to the con-
clusion that if there were no foreigners
the work of this Courts could almost be
eliminated. It is doubtful if the jocular.
ity often attending these Magisterial
functions adds to the good that should
come from the administration of law.
Many newspapers might easily place
their reports of the Police Court under
the Funny Column heading. From the
standpoint of morality it ie. no jesting
matter and should met be so treated in
our judgment.
'rstx General Conference of the Metho-
dist Church, meeting at Hamilton, vot-

There was not the same nnaninlity in a
demand that women should be admitted
to the ministry. Same believe that if
the former privilege holds goo.1 the door
cannot be barred to tbetn it they seek to
enter the domain of the clergy, There
were many things said in the debate
some of them wise and others very
simple. The question was seat to the

CHRISTMAS PARCELS FOR
BOYS IN FRANCE SHOULD
BE MAILED BEFORE NOV, 15
OTTA\VA, Sept, 30 -The postmas-
ter -general states that Christmas par-
cels for the Canadian expeditionary
forces in France should be nailed in
time to be dispatched from Canadian
ports not later than the middle of No-
vember. Transportation is congested
during the Christmas season, and those
who are sending parcels to their friends
in the trenches are urged to post them
early if they wish to have them de-
livered by Christmas,

No Eleventh Hour Yuletide Shopping,
Decree of 13. S, Council of Defence
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21, -No last-
pin¢1
week, no December Christmas shop -
That's the dictum of the Council of
National Defense and, as a war mea-
sure. every httyer of Yuletide gifts is
expected to comply.
Congestion of express, parcel post,
freight and even local delivery in De-
cember will not be permitted by the
government, Those who put off the
purchase of their gifts until their
wants will not be supplied and that all
delivery service will be for government
use only.
Early Shopping Demanded.
The council further urges that every-
one who can shall make his purchases
of Christmas within the next three
weeks, nr at least before December 1,
and also to carry the parcels home
and not burden the department and
other stores with delivering by auto
truck or messenger,
"The Council of National Defense
has heretofore emphasized the neces-
sity of restricting Chrismas buying
during the coming fall for specific
reasons," says the official statement,
"These reasons are, in brief, the ne-
cessity of saving labor and material
in the manufacture and sale of Christ-
mas gifts and of saving the transporta-
tion and delivery facilities necessary
involved in the large volume of Christ-
mas purchases.
Useful Gifts Favored.
"After conference with representa-
tives of leading industries and retail
interests concerned it is fond that the
manufacture of goods for the coming
holiday season has been substantially
completed, that the transportatinn of
the goods to the point of sale is also
largely done and that such of the ma-
terial used for Chrismas purchase, es-
pecially In the manufacture of toys,
is the waste material derived front pre-
vious processes of manufacturers,
"The retail interests represented at
the conference have agreed not to in-
crease their working force by reason
of the holiday business over the aver-
age force employed by them through-
out the year and not to increase the
normal working hours during the
Chrismas season, They also agreed to
use their utmost efforts to confine
Christmas giving, except to young
children, to useful articles and to
spread the period for holiday purchas-
es over the months of October, Novetn-
ber and December.
Carry Plan Urged,
"In order to relieve the transporta-
tion facilties of the country from a
congestion in the latter half of Decem-
ber that would be so hurtful to the
interests of the nation that it cannot
be permitted the retail interests re-
presented at this hearing have agreed
to co-operate further and to induce
their customers to carry their pack-
ages whenever possibladt

Canadians will loan the money by
again buying Victory Bonds.
