The patrons have a right fooled in such a situation and it is evi- dently apparent that censorship is not as strict as in former days, Aon. T. W. CRars eRs, Minister of Labor, bas resigned, owing to ill health, and Senator Robertson has been given the job. Crothers did not make much of a success of the work and will be glad to be out of it, we guess. His successor, from the fact that he is in the Senate, occupies a 1;fferent position as the pub- lic cannot get at bitn ou election day to express disapproval—sort of a Star Chamber appointment --brit of course if the Government takes a tumble be loses bis portfolio but retains his seat. We sometimes forget the debt of grat- itude we owe the doctors, nurses and our neighbors in such an epidemic as the world has been passing through from the Spauish influenza. True the doctors and nurses have to be settled with later but there are scores of instances where money cannot pay for special attention and care bestowed oa siek folk, Some- titnes the world seems cold and heartless but often trouble brings troops of friends into the limelight and proves there are still those who are kindly and sym- pathetic and very willing to give of their time or pecuniary assistance, if neces- sary, to aid in the restoration of the sick. There are lots of things money cannot buy. THE Go ed Book says, "A man who has friends MOST show himself friendly." Believing this to be true we often wond- er what about the folk who sadly neglect their part in being friendly and go past as if they had a grudge against you, Friendliness is a virture, or gift but to get full value it should be reciprocal, and there should be no necessity of a formal introduction every time you meet. Limber up, Do you share in the advances and if not naturally offhanded don't let this hesitancy lead people to believe you have n grouch. "Ivfolassas will catch more files than vinegar" is a homely way of urging the cultivation of a sociable temperament. It need not be effusive but it should at least be civil and court- eous. "BRITANNIA rules the waves" is as true as the Gospel, heel it not been his- tory might have a different tale to tell of the world war. Canada has great reason to give thanks that British sea dogs were supreme and as a consequence our Dominion has been caved the ravag- ing that befell Belgium and France. Victory bonds are best exp cession of our gratitude and are worth millions of hours spent in talk in lien thereof. Enthusiasm and exultation are all right in their place but it taker the cold cash to pay the bills and lift the debt. It is no sacrifice to invest in gilt edged securities at sir per cent but it is a good way to prove that you are loyal to the Empire. J3aFORe long the Annual School meet- ing will be held in your School Section and the object of this Editonal note is to call attention to this fact in good time It is a lamentable feature of many e' these meetings that the atteudance is Ro meagre, often scarcely enough to do business, Some tolk say they have not been present for the past so years, This is unfair to the trustees, teacher and pupils and should not prevail in this day. The proper education of boys and girls is a question of first im- portance and if relegated to some future occasion or delegated to somebody else may be lost beyond recovery, While thanks are due to Trustees, who give good attention to the work of the school and Section, they should be assured that the ratepayers are as enthusiastic, Some of the schools and grounds are shorn of much that fright make them attractive and by chatting over these things at the Annual meeting, when a "Good of the Section" order of business. could be called, would do good. School and borne gardens, School Fairs, Section Field days or Picnic are s features of today and all tend to fashion- ing and strengthening a Community spirit of real value to the rural life, Help your teacher and your young people by taking a fresh interest in school affairs. When did you last attend an annual School meeting? The women folk should be invited to be present tied perchance take, aseftt011 the Board. Next School meet. ing will soon be here and it every rate• payer does his duty s new day will be inaugurated in your locality. The vil- lages azld towns are often just as last i o duty inctunbeut upon the rospoetive Boards of Directors to see that this is rendered. To provide for such a. status means clone attention to every detail both as to tinee and offices manu_.enient all tee tine, to permit these to lapse is to re'ro- gradewith hard going to attain effici- ency at a later date. The public is often a severe taskmaster and perhaps, often forgetful to show a kindly spirit if their I necessities are not always given fist plaes, Proh:ably if the elm:alone were reversed for a day they would think sial act differeutly.

EMPLOYMENT OF MEW IN DEFAULT UNDER THE MILITARY SERVICE ACT. The following Regulations, recently approved by the Governor General in Council, impose crtrict obligations upon every employer TO ASSURE HIM- SELF THAT EACH OF HIS EMPLOYEES OF MILITARY AGE AND DESCRIPTION IS IN POSSESSION OF DOCUMENTS PROVING THAT HE IS NOT IN ANY WAY IN DEFAULT UNDER THE MILITARY SERVICE ACT. An employer who is charged with having a defaulter in his employ must be able to prove THAT THE MILITARY SERVICE PAPERS ISSUED BY THE REGISTRAR OR MILITARY AUTHORITIES TO THE EMPLOYEE IN QUES- TION WERE PRODUCED FOR HIS INSPEC- TION at the time when the employee was taken into his employment, and that it was reasonably estab- lished to his satisfaction that the man was_ not in default under the Military Service Act. It should be clearly understood that the Canadian Registration Certificates given on June 22, 1918, at the time of general registration, in no way define the status of a man under the Military Service Act. REGULATIONS. " 106.

MILITARY SERVICE -3RANCH, As a matter of y thu.11 q { of You are a farmer. Canada is a farming country. Canada grows more food than the people of Canada need. To prosper she must sell that sur- plus food. Great Britain is our best customer for grain, pork, beef, cheese and other farm products.. Every practical man must see how important it is to hold the British trade. Canada wants not only the profit on this trade, she wishes to create a good- will in Britain towards Canadian pro- ducts and thus assure our export busi- ness for the future. At the moment Great Britain asks for credit, asks Canada to sell her the products of the farm, "on time." To hold her, trade, it is necessary to give this credit. This takes capital—immense capital. For Britain's purchases from Canada are .huge, and these purchases must be paidor in cash. In these times, it is not easy even for a nation as wealthy as Canada to procure money. Certainly, no other country can lend us money. The only way now open for Canada to -secure money is to borrow from the people of Canada, uy VICTO ::.. Si. .''"F' SSg th. n This is the reason for selling Victory Bonds. Can anyone deny thesound business sense of this plan of protecting our valuable market ? From the standpoint of the man who lends, what better security could he get for his money ? Where else could he get a five and a half per cent. return on such security? Where would he •find an investment to pay interest so regularly and with so little trouble to the lender? Certainly Canadians have an opportunity to benefit very directly from this borrowing plan. And the money Canada borrows is spent entirely in Canada—a very large part of it for the very crops the farmer has to sell. Therefore, if the Victory Loan is a success, business in Canada must be good, the nation must prosper"and so be able to carry on a vigorous war effort in France and Flanders. As a practical man you must approve of the Victory Loan plan. Then help it along. Put your own money into Victory Bonds; urge your friends to buy; work hard . among your loyal neighbors to make the Victory Loan 1918 an overwhelming success. L. art you can pay for in cash and all you can carry- on instcztrnents. Issued by Canada's Victory Loan Committee in co-operation with the Minister of Pinance of the Dominion of Canada, FOLTON SCHOOL FAIR The [test of the 4 Veer Series On Friday, Sept, 27th, the an- nual School Pair, of Ole Fultml School, Grey township. was held and was the largest and best on record.
