WATcti the Russian bear as he rises
On hie feet to meet the enemy, The

to the war features on the West.
Ott May xst Prohibition comes into
effect in the Province of New Bruns-
wick. The white flag of Prohibition
should soon float over the whole Domin-
ion, Federal M. P.'s should square
themselves with the trend of the times,
if not they should never be allowed to
warm a seat in the Commons.
THURSDAY of last week the Ontario
Legislature concluded its seselo'. It
lasted 36 days and the large number of
135 bills were passed, Among the
most important was that relating to
Provincial Prohibition, which conies in-
to effect next September. Botta parties
in the House gave it their support.
IT looks a trifle as if the Hydro -Elec-
tric system may eventually do some-
thing tor the West Shore railway. We
hope it nteyas a meaner sneak trick was
never played on the unsuspecting pub-
lic of the Westerly municipalities of
Hurou County than Moyes was guilty
of. If he can die happy his conscience
must be badly seared.
TURKEY'S cry for Peace will not be
heeded in the meantime as it is too late
in the day to beg oft now when the Turk
is receiving what has been long due
him. If be is ready to cry quits it is
only because be now realizes the posst-
bility and probability of a "wipe out".
Both Europe and Asia would be the
better of the. disappearance of Turkey
as aNation, Their past history has b -en
of the blackest type and belongs to the
dark ages.
THERE will be something doing on
the Western front in the month of May
and the saddest feature aboti it wilt be
the tremendous loss of life. Militarism
will have to bite the dust and the smash-
ing should be so complete that it will
never again rear its head. zoth century
ideals should be bid enough to settle all
international rlisputes by some such plan
as that afforded by the Hague and would
be tyrants should be dealt witb by the
other powers so emphatically that they
would realize the futility of anything
like war.

PRODUCTION AND THRIFT
TRH RICHT SPIRIT
We cannot all be patriots in the sense
of appearing as such in public ; but
those of us to whom the privilege of
platform speaking, or even of inteua-
sfnn, is denied can by force of example
declare ourselves. This font of pat-
riotism is denied to let man. In exer-
cising it we are serving God and per-
funtting a duty owing both to our-
selves and to the country, \Ve are also
encouraging emulation. How far, or
even in what direction, that, may
reach none of me can foretell. To the
right-thinking man, to the tt ue pat-
riot, it will be enough to know that
Within his power he is doing all that
may be done. The extent of bis per-
sonal influence will not trouble him
so much as the knowledge that he is
bending all his best efforts to accom-
plish something useful in life will in-
spire him.
It ie this spirit that paramount to
all else without exception, we are
specially called upran at this juncture
to exercise. The man who fails is in
a minor sense almost as much a trait-
or to his country as the man who is
false to his plane of birth or to the
land of his adoption. It is in this
spirit—the right spirt 1i—that we
are summoned to the light theft the
Empire is waging Inc the liberty of all
people, the freedom of every nation,
the rigid observance of treaties and
internatioutat engagemeu19. By being
actuated by it, no Warn will fall short
in the reapoesi131111es entailed by
citizenship, It is this spirit that the
campaign for prnduetiun and 111rift
has been launched to develop and en-
courage.
No man or woman is justified in
ignoring the call. He of she recog-
nizes it to the full by such useful pro-
duction as lies within hie paver is
fulfilling a God-given duty, He who
is guilty of waste, of wilful extrava-
gance, of woeful selfishness, places
himself beynnd the pale of Christian
duty. This is a tenth that one and all
need to recognize and that in recog-
nising will bring into activity The
Right Spirit, In producing and in sav-
ing, in practising a, wise economy, we
may not be doing as pouch as the sol-
dier diet itt the trenchesho is exercising
that d
oatht
of offering
n his life
for his friend, but we
shall, at least to
some extent, show a becoming appre-
ciation of the existing older of alleles.
And this is possible to every mem be
be lawyer, doctor, merchant, farmer
or common laborer.

Wm. Taylor, 8th line Morris,

Dos Moines, Iowa.—" Four years ago
I was very sick and my life was nearly

stated that I would

Yesterday was the first time that I
have seen a woman or man, excepting
soldiers, for about twa weeks and we

Phone us for Demonstration TO -DAY
To win the war with the decisiveness which will ensure lasting peace, the Empire
A will require to put forth its full collective power in men and in money, From
this viewpoint it is our true policy to augment our financial strength by multiplying our
productive exertions and by exercising rigid economy, which reduces to the minimum
all expenditures upon luxuries and non -essentials. Only in this way shall. we be able
to make good the loss caused by the withdrawal of so many of our workers indus-
trial activities, repair the wastage of the war, and find the funds forits continuance, It
cannot be too frequently or too earnestly impressed upon our people that the heaviest
burdens of the conflict still lie before us, and that industry and thrift are, for those
who remain at home, supreme patriotic duties upon whose faithful fulfilment
our. success, and consequently our national safety, may ultimately depend."—
SIR THOMAS W17I:f7s, Minister of Pittance.

PRODUCE MORE, SAVE MORE.
MAKE LABOUR EFFICIENT.
SAVE MATERIALS FROM WASTE.
SPEND MONEY WISELY.
LET US PRODUCE AND SAVE—
The war is note turning on a contest of all forces
and resources—men, inunitions, food, money. The
call to all is to produce more and more. it may be
necessary to work harder. The place of those who
enlist must be taken by those at home, men and
women, old and young. The more we produce the
more we can save. Produce more on the farms and
in the gardens. Save more and help to win the war.
LET U5 NOT WASTE OUR LABOUR—
In this war -time all labour should be directly pro-
ductive or should be assisting in production. Make it
as efficient as possible. If your labour is on something
that can be postponed, put it off till after the war and
make your labour tell now. Making war is the first
business of all Canadians. Efficiency in labour is as
important as efficiency in fighting.
LET US NOT WASTE MATERIALS—
Begin at home. The larger portion of salaries
and wages is spent on the home—food, fuel, light
clothing. Are any of these things being wasted f
$20.00 a year saved from waste in every home in
Canada will more than pay the interest on a war debt
of S500,000,000,
LET US SPEND OUR MONEY WISELY—
Are you spending your money to the best advan-
tage? What do you think of extravagance in war
time? Tens of thousands of Canadians are daily.
risking their lives for us at home. Is it not our duty
to be careful and economical ? Canadian dollars are
an important part of the war equipment. Make them
tell, Have a War Savings Account. Buy a War
Bond. -
