DOWN THROUGH THE AGES
Britons fought and suffered and died in order that
their children and their children's children might
be free. Today the forces of darkness threaten to
engulf us once more. Shall we give up those rights
which our forefathers won ?
Today our country must arm. No time can be lost.
We must build the greatest war machine the world
has ever known. We mustaccomplish in two years
more than the enemy has accomplished in. seven.
That is why Canada needs your savings—not as a
gift, but only as a loan. Canada's army must be
maintained and equipped with the most modern
fighting machines. Scores of warships and merchant
vessels must be built. Thousands of planes, thousands
of pilots must be rushed to the scene of conflict.

So Canada needs the use of your money now. Later
on, Canada will repay you in full. In the meantime,
you will receive regular interest on your loan.
When you buy Victory Bonds, all Canada is your
security. These Bonds are more readily turned into
cash than any other.
HOW TO BUY—Give your order to, the canvasser who
calls on you. Or place it in the hands of any branch of any
bank, or give it to any trust company. Or send it to your
local Victory Loan Headquarters. Bonds may be bought in
denominations of $50, $100, $500, $1,000 and larger.
Canvasser, bank, trust company or your local Victory Loan
Headquarters will be glad to give you every assistance in
making out your order form.

The Weed of the Week
Wild Mustard now making an al).ileara.nce in cereal crops is a robber
of plant food and moisture and is a

immediate attention states John D.
MacLeod, 'Crops, Seeds and Weeds
l Branch, Ont. Dept, of Agriculture,
Toronto, An average plant of
Wild Mustard may produce 15,000
seeds, These may live in the soil
dor years and continue to germinate
as they are brought near the surface.
;Being inn annual weed wliI4h" re-

effective. ,Scattered plants should
be pulled by 'hand.
'Cltenrical sprays and, dusts have
proven, successful in destroying this
weed, Aero pulverized Cyanamid
when properly 'applied at the right
time will kill manly Mustard plants
and' will also increase crop yield's
due to the fertilizing value of the
dust. This should be done at ?he
rate of 100 pour(/.' per 'acre when
