Church was found lying Ina etall and rt terrible injury to the bead was be- lieved to have been caused by a kick 1'eonl a horse. James Blocker, the hired man, said he went out to the barn 20 minutes after his employer left the lmase, and discovered Church lying dead. The }loves, which was in the stall, had 0110 11001171 the manger. The fact that no inquest was held at the time set a lot of stories afloat, with the 1 eonit, that (3310 attorney -gen- eral was advised in the interests of justice (ha) t1n inquest be held to clear away any mystery connected with the death. The arrival here of the Pro. villein] detect vs was the first step itt the investigation. Ohurch left, a wife and two chflilreo WHY DOES THE CANAW4?1 PATRIOTIC FUND REQUIRE 50 MUCH MONEYI This question is often asked, by persons and by municipal councils, when the matter of liberal giving to the Fund is brought before them. They are entitled to the most complete answer, for the Fund is the people's. They created it, and it is they who must maintain it Now for the reasons. There are 149,230 of them. The Fund asks for so much money because Canada bas given her men so lavishly to the Great Cause. Between 300,000 and 400,000 have volunteered. If their families need help, this. Fund provides it. In October 53,693 families did need it. These families comprised 149,230 persons, nearly all either mothers, wives or children. Is it any wonder that so Great a Need requires so Great a Fund? HOW GREAT IS THE NEED OF MONEY The sum expended in October, 1916, was $991,514.00 The average payment to each family was,. 16.29 The average payment to each person was • 5.73 The cost of administration was 15,464.00 (Ln above averages, stems paid for broken periods not included.) Pay special attention to the figures concerning cost of administration—including expense of campaigns for raising money. It is the ambition of the managers of the Fund to keep the costof raising and disbursing it below that of any voluntary fund ever created in Canada. Their aim is to hand to the soldiers' families as nearly as possible one hundred cents for every dollar subscribed. They succeed in handing 99i cents. The sum received in October as interest on moneys in banks was about $11,500. Take this from the cost of administration. The remainder is $4,000. And that, therefore, is all that had to be deducted from sums paid in. That is to say, of every 5100 paid by generous givers, 599.46 reached the families. Is not that economy which should give confidence to every subscriber? Does the magnitude of the Fund, as well as its importance, begin to impressou Mr. Citizen-: h o Y w a is -being -asked -to -subscribe -$100, or you, Gentlemen of the Municipal Council, who are being urged to vote $100,000 for 1917? Does the REQUEST look as large as it did now that you know something more of the NEED ? Since the war began the people of Canada have subscribed to this Fund .$1694959000 For 1917 they will be asked to give—and will give 12,500,000 Of this sum Ontario is being asked to guarantee—and will guarantee—at least 6,000,000 This is one million more than in 1916, but every dollar will be required for Ontario's families. Not, much chance for individuals or counties to economize by cutting down their contributions, is there? On the contrary, the giving must be on a scale more generous than ever. And why not? If we can't FIGHT, isn't it a Privilege rather than an Obligation to PAY? ONE WORD MORE No man should ignore his personal responsibility towards the families of those who are fighting for him, simply because his Municipal Council is taxinghien slights owe for the same these people far more.
