The electors also vote upon the by- law to extend the terns of office for reeve and councillors from one to two years. It is stated by those who are in a position to know that the bylaw, 'oven if carried, and' it is confidently expected that it will be, will not effect the council, elected on January 0th but will be effective, af- ter that. Corp. Alfred AlcGregor, son of Mr. and Mrs, Chas. McGregor of this township, has sent hone some in- teresting souvenirs from the battle field, among them being a heavy sli- ver crucifix which was taken from the tunic of a death German officer. Itis between three and four inches long, of hard wood or heavy metal set in silver plate with the figure•of the Christ in silver. The curious part of it is that at the foot of the cross is engraved a scull and crossbones. Tile Germans seemed to combine their trade of destruction wvitli their religion. The emblem looked as if it had seen considerable wear, the silver plate having been worn off in some places. One evening last week a number of Dry Goods and House Furnishing Cone tt Co.

Before the stupendous amount of 8076,000,000 worth of bonds could bo sold to our Canadian people in three weeks a most thorough and exhaus- tive campaign of education was necessary, and this campaign was carried through by . advertising is the public) press. The power of the printed word never had a more con- vincing demonstration, 13y means of the printed word, through. the medium of advertise- ments ;n the press of our country, . the Canadian people were made to know what bonds are, the nature of their security, their attractiveness as an investment, and why the Government had to sell bonds. livery point and feature of Victory Bonds was illustrated and described before and during the campaign—in advertisements. No argument was overlooked, No selling point was neglected. Tho result is that Canadians to -day are a nation of bondholders. They know what a convenient, safe and profitable . form of investment bonds aro. Instead of one man in two hundred owning bonds, now one Canadian in eight—men, women and children --owns a Government Secur- ity. This complete transformation in the• national mind and habits was brought about by advertising in the Press of the nations Press adver- tising has justified itself as the sur- est and speediest method by which a man's reason„can be influenced and directed. The Minister of Finance acknowledges this. His own words are : "'Phe wonderful success of the Loan was duo in measure to their (the press of Canada) splendid and ing efforts during the whole of the Campaign.” large untfr- ilii. 1. R. Wood, Chairman of the Dominion Executive Committee having oversight of the campaign to raise Victory Loan, 1918, said " , , , The press publicity campaign , , . will rank as one of the most re- markable and efficient publicity campaigns ever undertaken in any coun- try," and Mr. J. H. Gundry, Vice -Chairman of the same committee said : "I have been selling bonds foe a long time, but I never found it so easy to sell them as at this thine. The reason is the splendid work the press has done. I take off my fiat to The press of Canada," The success of Victory Loan, 1918, and the knowledge which Canadians now possess of bonds are a straight challenge to the man who doubts the m.m power of the printed word, -in the form of advertisements, to sell goods —anti ibis applies not to bonds alone, but fo the goods YOU interested in soiling, 111�IIIIUiIIIIINIIINIiIIIIIiINIIINIIIINIIIIIIIIIIIiNIIIIIIIUII@IIIIUIiIUIIIIIIIIUfNUNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUillllllllllllllllllliflllll1111111(IIIIIIIIINNIIIIIIINIIIN@INIIIIIIIIIIIIIINIIIIiIIIIIIIIiIIIIiUIIIIIIIIIIIIIiIIIIIIIIiiIlliilUllUIUiIIIIIIIIIiIiliiiilUiIIIIIIIIIIIiIIIIINU@UIIIUIUIU111111 01 son of New York, Mr., Ivison.

Fifty years ago the first Methodist church was 1)11114 in this village and the jubilee services were held on Dec. 8th last. For three or foto years before tlie church was opened servic- es were conducted first in the ,homes of the people and afterwards in the little log schoolhouse which stood where the Presbyterian manse now stands. This was one at the appoint- ments of the. Exeter circuit, One of the earliest ministers was the Rev. Mr. Tucker. It isn't certain, who was the officiating minister when the church was opened though we believe it Was the Rcv. Mr. Holmes. A large society was formed of men and wom- en whose hearts the Lord touched and whose pockets were opened to give of their treats to build a church for worship. ']'his was opened in 1868 and 1705 a centre of blessing to tate community until 1899 when the 1)0080111 church was built, principally through the efforts of the Rev. W.

INDUSTRY THRIFT AND IAD Y U R By thrift and industry the French people paid over the huge war in- demnity of 1870 to Germany la an incredibly short space of time. The same thrift and industry, if exercis- ed by Canadians now, will recon- struct and make Canada a prosper- ous country. To achieve this end there must be individual vigilance, Watch food advertisements. There is always a best and cheapest place to buy any commodity. By watching the advertisements of foodstuffs ;n local papers, much can be accom- plished. Merchants do not advertise uhless the price and quality of the goods are attractive ; they know they cannot retain the business of the public unless they "make, good." Help the most progressive merchant In your locality by following his ad- vertised prices and patronize hien. Competition does more to regulate prices that anything else, Lieut. H. C.
