The *peeped sentiment of a nation of people Is expressed in a flag. Its presence inspires comment and a man Is expressing loyalty when he talks pridefully .of his flag. toy- atty is wonder -emotion. It is closely allied to faith, which un- wounded, knows no obstacle, Faith In their leader carried a ragged, weary band of fagged soldiers through a winger of suffering with Wellington a hundred years ago, Loyalty has help- ed the British army to -day. Faith and loyalty, staunch comrades, leave won some of the stiffest fights in present d'ay warfare. Confidence in the flag means trust in that which it stands for. Faith in the leader who directs the government which the flag repre- sents implies patriotism. The bulwark of any country is its national feeling. Display the flag,I t p y i is YOUR flag, but why not call it MY flag ? Staff it in a conspicuous place in front of hone, office, public building, everywhere. Give this h s visible assuranceof your in r attitude toward the country which gives your priceless freedom a nd asks but little in return. Talk of MY flag. Display it and have faith and be loyal to those at the head, irrespective of petty beliefs in party sectionalism. P, S.—Where was the town flag on 1'C:wade's National birthday ? .. ' H. W. C.

The magnificent response in this district to this appeal made last year, and the very unique and sincere arrection felt for France since the beginning of this war by all her Allies, make us very con- fident that the response this year will be again worthy, not only of the cause itself, but also of this district, which ha already made an envlahle natu for s e itself 'throughout Canada for the splen- did war work deme here detente the last four years.This confidence is echoed by the Executive in Toronto through Colonel Marshall, an extract from whose letter is as follows: -- "The executive Committee of the Cadadian Red Cross Society, having again received an 'urgent appeal front the London Committee of the French Red 'Cross, to take part in an Empire - wide appeal for the sick and wounded soldiers of the French Nation and for the French prisoners cid war, 1 am Je- sired to inform you that the Executive after due cotnsideration, have approved of our Society, through its branches throughout the Dominion, taking such steps as may appear to be most advis- able within their several jurisdictions, for the purpose of raising funds, on or about July 14th, as Canada's contri- bution to the British Empire Fund for the soldiers of France, "The Executive feel sure that considering the sacrifices our gallas Attlee have been called upon to nueke and the magnitude of their needs, a' generous response will be forthconint, from the people of Canada to this ap petal," New Cereals RYE FLOUR POTATO FLOUR BUCKWHEAT FLOUR KELLOGG'S BRAN BARLEY FLOUR RICE FLOUR W.

Preparations well in advance are being made by the Finance Depart- ment at Ottawa for the successful flotation in October next of Canada's next Victory Loan, at which will p Yot - 'bl\ he the greatest financial U effort of the Dominlon, While the amount of the loan has not been definitely fixed, it is reported that the amount asked for in the prospectus will be 5250,000,000, with a real objective of 5500,0u0,00o. No doubt is entertained as to the ability of Canada, even :after four years of war, to raise this huge sum. but the effort •.will be a prodigious one. backed by the most efficient or- ganization which can be brought about (luring the next four months. The money is heeded to meet the Dominion's growing military expen- ditures, and to furnish Canadian credits front which Great Britain may purchase Canada's production of munitions, airplanes. 1rahn. meats cit:','sit and other f,nsdstutTs and sup- plies. No other means exist whereby Canada's products May be purchased. In this connection. it is pointed out that the 1'ieu,ry Loan of tact hall furnished it distribution of money \•:h;ch has kept the wheels of indust- ry humming ever since. In that dis- tribution, all 51:155es u1 the 4100/1014 ITV have shared directly ova, indirectly. The org,uliration of the last ictory Loan lrtd lu be undertaken h,u•ried• Ir, to meet the sudden and unecnec'ed neeeSsity of furnishing immense credits the C:ulzd ;t for hnperial C':•ernnlent if our products were to find a nl:o•J:et and our prosperity maintained, The Dominion executiven formed by the Minister of Finance from the leading security experts of the Dominion, in co-operation with lite various bond selling organizat- ions, set up a nation-wide organization to promote the loan, This work of organization and the re arrotion ofthe publicity and press advertising of con- tinuous work before the loan was launched. The benefit of a gerat part of this pioneer work will ensure to the ad- vantage of the new loan, but the organization., which was necessarily incomplete last fall, will have TO be greatly amplified and extended this year. One handicap which Canada has to overcome in an effort of this kind .arises out of the fact that, while a territory as large as the 'United States has to be covered, it cotttahtS only about oneslourteenth • of the population of that country. Nevertheless, in spite of this disad- vantage, Canada's last Victory Loan represented Ole high-water mark of wad. loan achievement, if relative population and wealth are taken into account, Canada raised in that effort over 5400,000,000, which is 5500 per head of Iter population. The Inst Liberty Loan in the United States, which was most successful, raised four bil- lion dollars, an average of 5400 per head of population. As the United States has thirty or forty times tate wealth of 'Canada, Canada's effort, after three and a half years of war, was about equal to a United States Liberty Loan of from ten to fifteen billion, dollars, The Minister of Finance believes in one great effort every year, in order that the business of the Do- minion may not be disturbed by campaigns at intervals of four or six months, He le entirely confident that the conning Victory Loan will eclipse all former efforts, both in the num- ber of subscribers and the aggregate of their subscriptions, * ,a. v a: •lt 4+ •a 4 w a~ fir y, k PAi'1CIOTIC NOTES AF Mr 4a * •1 15 't4 '1t 44 a• •r• '!'here will be no meeting oi' the W.

Clinton, June 1513*, 5918 To the honourable Minister of Agriculture Sir,— We, the undersigned farmers, re- siding in the electoral district of South Huron - take this opportunity of laying before you our views upon the conscription of farmers 50115 be- tween the ages of 19 and 22 years, Retying upon the pledge given us, that our sats would be exempted, and desirous of fulfilling the expressecl in- tense desire of those in authority, that every possible effort should he made in the direction of increased production, we laid our plans accord- ingly. - We consider that our sons of the age referred to, born and brought 4rp on the farm, with every possible in- centive around them to do "their bit" 'to the very utmost of their powers, are beyond any doubt bite best aid avaflahle, At this date, to bake them away from us, we consider is possibly nn - justified ; and also an unwise step, from the view pbint of the greatest good to the greatest number aid cf the general welfare of the nation as a whole ; ttnd further, from the hiberna- tion at our disposal, may not be warranted by the exigency of the hour. 1t is useless to tell us that we can ob- tain help from cities, 111511 who do not know how to hitch up a tear eneu who know not the difference between a dung fork and a pitch fork, Wren who never were between the handles of a plow in their lives, men who could no more run a self -binder than we could an aeroplane, farmerettes and the like. You might as well take a hundred or our boys into a machine shop. and having taken out a hundred of the very best skilled mechanics, expect that establishment topc rodu e more machinery 1 th an before. The idea is grotesque in its very absurdity. What- ever these boys night be ultimately trained to produce, is entirely another natter. The crying need of the pres- ent ,lay and hoar is FOOD! FOOD FOOD I and more and more of it. So impressed are we with the need of food for ourselves at home, our troops abroad, and our allies, that we do not hesitate to condent any act that will lessen its production. It might not be folly to take a lesson from nur wily enemy, and cu -equally with his attempt to keep all food from reach- ing our allies sent from our borders, use our best efforts to produce it and cover up his destruction. Wherein lies the difference between lessening the production of munitions of 'v,;r and the production of food ?—except, that possibly the latter, is the more necessary. and yet it is the latter that 1s threatened, We might point out to you, Sir, that evert it the need for men at this moment ,s great, there are other sources of man supply that in tate 11111nal welfare should be e.xhaus/ed before the vital l matth r of food p ra- chctinnble Tither hindered' or im- perilled. We refer to all those engag- ed in nuts -necessitous occupations, 54141 10 the large foreign population in our midst, The enemy is using those of our flesh and blood (taken as prisoners 01 war) to perfernh all cam- paign an- paig, work other than actual fighting in the ranks. Why should not the foreign population referred to be similarly employed by us, and there - h , raIa'ds , a •nt•r s o y r a e,p nding number in our army to take their places in` the ranks ? e have a , W sstbl• a li attempted 1 e v at t ted to place our views before you, Abut trust they may tneet with: acceptable consideration at your hands, and threuglh you, front the rest of the Cabinet. In any case, we conclude with the request, that two months, leave of absence be granted to bona fide farm- ers who are now in uniform, to help with the harvest, and that action in tate case of our softs be delayed until the results of the Registration of June 22nd enable the Government to fully and completely arrive at a cor- rect estimate of the available man power of our country. We are, Sir, Your obedient servants, Signed—W. McEwen, President G. W.
