i If the Controller Stepped In 1
Owing to the scarcity of coal it is
reported that some farmers have been
asking prices for .hood, that if they
were in Germany -they wouldn't have
the second chance to ask the price,
Most people are willing to pay any rea-
sonable price -but when it comes to
a hold-up, we think The Controller
should step in and lay down a price.
Another Huronian Promoted
The vacancy in the Saskatchewan
Cabinet, created by the entry of Hon.
Mr. Calder into the Union Government

Last Mountain as Minister of Highways.
Mr Latta. whe is proprietor of the
Go-
vanPrairie News, is a well known
Huronian, having been born and raised
near Kippen, and the congratulations
of his old friends are extended to him
on his deserved promotion.

"The frost is on the pumpkin."
The new Methodist hymn book will
be published on October 34st. •
Have you got your exemption? is a
familiar expression Just now.
After all, advertising in large part, is
merely making people feel friendly to-
ward your, product and your organiza-
tion; that is why the shrewd advertis-
ing man should never overlook an op-
portunity to create incidental good will
as a sort of by-product, in the columns
of the home newspaper.
Pension Forms Ready.
Forms have been distributed from
Ottawa within the past few days to
Pensioners of No Military Dist
rt
et
,
to be tilled in 'i connection with
n o e t1 n the
alterations in regard to the allowances
for children of pensioners, provided
for in the new Act. Hitherto, no allow
ances were granted to the children un-
der $24 a month. Now, a graduated
scale has been arranged whereby each
child receives a definite amount each
month, In proportion to the father's
pension, whether it be the maximum
pension of $40 a month, $32, $24, 516
or $18 a month. Provision is now made
whereby gratuities given in lieu of pen,
stenmay be received in bulk or in
monthly payments until the sum is
used up. While every effort is being
made to speed up the application of the
new regulation, it is probable that it
will be the beginning of the new year
before all readjustments have !been'
made and everything is running
smoothly.
War Prisoners' Letters
Special regulations enacted by the
General Headquarters at Berlin and re-
lating to correspondence with Prison-
ers of war have been brought to the
notice of .Prof. J. Cusin, president of
the Swiss Red Cross, 605 Temple Build
mg, Toronto. The regulations is as
follows: "Prisoners of war are allowed
to send a postcard to their people to
relieve tension of mind. This first
postcard, bearing only the date of a
concentrating camp, cannot be regard.
ed as bearing an address to which food,
money, letters, etc., for the 'prisoner
should be sent. Prisoners are allotted
to various camps according to their
state of health and occupations, and re-
latives wishing to communicate with
thein must wait until they receive word.
from them giving their final address'
In Germany, Over-anxious persons
have sent money, food, letters, etc., to
the address given on the first card from
prisoners, and these have consequently
never reached their destination."

PROMISE FOR FUTURE- GOOD
With Increase in Canada's Prestige as
A Belligerent, War Business Booms
Ottawa, Oct, 24th. -Announcement
that the imperial Munitions Board
will spend looney liberally in Canada
for the whiter on munitions contracts
is welcomed here as an assurance of
industrial prosperity during the win
ter months, It also means that the total
amount spent .011 munitions in Canada
to the endof: the year 1vi11 be an im-
posing sutm, just how large it is diffi-
cult to estimate,at the moment.
Consideration of . this question
brings up the point that Canada
has been unusually fortunate in the
matter of obtaining contracts fur
war material, all kinds of which
have been exported to Europe since
war began. One of the features of
Canada's participation in the war
has been the prosperous business if.
has brought the country.
The adoption by Canada of the
Military Service Act has vastly in-
creased the national prestige as a
belligerent on the side of the Allies
has been assured the country of con-
tinued prosperity through war ac-
tivities of a Nustness nature.

It will be greatly to the advantage of Canada if the entire quota of 100,000 men to be raised under
the Military Service Act can be secured from the first close; that is, from the men between the ages of 20

This is almost self-evident for the following reasons:
it is admitted that, between the ages of 20 and 34, the average man is at the height of his
physical strength and inmost adaptable to the change of conditions from civilian life;
the military Borvice of unmarried men and widowers without children would occasion less
distress than that of most others, since they are largely without dependents. Also, it would
'- entail less financial burden for Canada, through separation allowances, etc.
• utheirities estimate that, after all proper exemptions' have been allowed, Canada should be able to
lire -duce from the first data 100,000 men fit for service, so the drain upon the man power of the country
Will not be severe.
