CLEAN up before the Winter eel.: ut It wilt be time well spent. WAR news has put the "cheer tips spirit in the people who stand behind the Allies, General Foch has the floor. HELP the coming of '•Ceuada's New Day" by siding everythiog that will give the right of way to the Suudey Schools of our land. Hvaeeer for the boys of the laud of the Matte Leaf as they do duty overseas We give them the premier place and hope many of the brave lads may be spared to return to our homes and hearts, 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 patted veru much on the back by his dad -the Kaiser, "Billy boy" has been weighed in the balance and found want- ing. His chances to sit on a throne are like the morning dew on the fabric of a dream. Do0Totts, druggists and nurses are having tl.e•r inniai s• We sometimes say that " things have gone up the flue" when then d ran- pan out as we desire but the spenteh ' do'• cannot be passed by without realizing that it has occupied our thoughts and attention when we would most desire to be clear of it en tirely It cannot fail '0 att ract attention and is not to be trifled with. Guard your health very jealously, RoEAL Tempters of 'Temperance has raised its insurance rates for the third time with the intent of making the Or- der actuariiv solvent. The bargain day life insurance is slowly passing away and people are recognizing that they must give value rather than gain a dollar by investing a dime. All fratern al Societies must strike an actuarial bas is or sooner or later rake all its members to the commercial graveyard. 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. ONTARIO Sunday School Convention in Massey Hall, 'Toronto, October 22nd to 25th and will likely be one of the best on record. Atnoo;g the speakers of note will be Miss Margaret Slattery, Boston Mrs. Baldwin, Chicago; Mr. Osw ig, Philadelphia ; Dr. Dickie, Chatham, and others. Professors Ezell and Roper will he in charge of the musical pro. 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- ed unanimously that women should have the sane privileges 50 then in the church, 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.

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, SAYS BUY NOW FOR 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 Because Canada has put her hand to the plow and will not turn back:- -our ack:-our country is in the war on the side of liberty and justice and will stay in it till complete victory is won and the unspeakable Hun is smashed and beaten to the ground; -a nation at war must make tre- mendous expenditures in cash to keep up her armies and supply them with munitions, food and clothing; -Canada must finance many mil- lions of dollars of export trade in food, munitions and supplies which Britain and our allies must have on credit; -for these purposes Canada must z �~ t E-5 red earr carry on tee borrow hundreds of millions of dollars - And, this money must be borrowed from the people of Canada: - Therefore, Canada will presently come to her people for a new Victory Loan to carry on.
