the Province. This has taken con-
siderable time and it was impossible
before thls to make any definite
statement. This is in brief the situ-
ation as the administration found it
to exist at that time; only about 1,00
local fuel commissioners had been
appointed; municipalities showed
little inclination to comply with the
request that they ' provide proper
machinery to keep their people warlu
and the coal dealers were 'antagonis-

forts to control or regulate their
business. '' There was much over-
lapping on the railways an unequal.
distribution of coal supplies gener-
ally, some larger municipalities,
stich as Toronto, more or less
monopolizing the supply.
And in this connection iet 111e say
that the real emergency does not ex-

As a matter of business, what
do you think of the plan ?
This is the reason for selling Victory
Bonds.,
Can anyone deny the• sound business
sense of this plan of protecting our
valuable market ?
From the standpoint of the man
who lends, what better security could
he get for his money P Where else
could he get a five and a half per cent.
return on such security? Where would
he find an investment to pay intorest
so regularly and with so little trouble
to the lender? Certainly Canadians
have an opportunity to benefit very
directly from this borrowing plan.
And the money Canada borrows is
spent entirely in Canada --a very large
part of it for the very crops the farmer
has to -sell.
Therefore, if the Victory Loan is a
success, business .in Canada must 'be
good, the nation must prosper and so
be able to carry on a vigorous war
effort in France and Flanders.
You are a farmer.
Canada is a farming country.
Canada grows more food than the
people of Canada need.
To prosper she must sell that sur-
plus food.
Great Britain is our best customer
for grain, pork, beef, cheese and other
farm products.
Every practical man must see how
important it is to hold the British trade.
Canada wants not only the profit on
this trade, she wishes to create a good-
will in Britain towards Canadian pro-
ducts and thus assure our export busi-
ness for the future.
At the moment Great Britain asks
for credit, asks Canada to sell her the
products of the farm, "on time." To
hold her trade, it is necessary to give
this credit.
This takes capital --immense capital.
For Britain's purchases from Canada
are huge, and these purchases must be
paid for in cash.
In these times, it is not easy even
for a nation as wealthy as Canada to
procure money. Certainly, no other
country can lend us money. The only
way now open for Canada to secure
looney is to borrow from the people of
Canada.
As a practical man you must
approve of the Victory Loan plan.
Then helpitalong.
Putyour own
money into Victory Bonds; urge your
friends to buy; work hard among
your loyal neighbors to make the
Victory Loan 1918 an overwhelming
success.

JUDGEMENT RESERVED
BY APPEAL COURT IN
WEST SHORE CASE
Toronto, Oct, 31.—Judgement was
reserved in the first divisional appel-
late court today in an appeal by the
municipalities of Ashfield, Huron, God-
erlcil and Kincardine, against a judg-
ment of Mr. Justice Sutherland, which
approved of payments made by the
Toronto General Trusts in connection
with tete unsuccessful promotion of the
Ontario West Shore Railway, which
was to have run between Goderich
and Kincardine.
The trustee of the municipalities in
the original action asked for an order
compelling the Toronto General Trusts
to give an account of phoneys the
plaintiffs alileged had been paid out
without proper authority, Their
,complaint was that the money was
paid out on the certificates made by
the chief engineer, while the bylaw
and the mortgage culled for payment
on certificates by the inspecting en-
gineer. Tile certificates on which
the Toronto General Trusts paid out
the stoney, it is alleged, were padded
and all the money 'guaranteed by the
several municipalities was expended
without Mayes, the promoter, and the
railway company putting a dollar into
the road which was not completed;
and the municipalities asked to make
good their respective guarantees,

Liberty Loan Set
Canadians High Marie
The Malted States did so we11 in
the recent Fourth Liberty Loan cam-
paign that Canada, in justice to her-
self, must do unusually well in the
present drive, or she will suffer by
the contrast.
The Americans started out with
56,000,000,000 as their objective,'
They actually raised 56,866,000,000.
The number of subscribers is placed
at 21,000,000, or about one for every
five of the population.
To do as well as this Canada must
raise over 5500,000,000. If she se-
cures the same percentage of sub-
scribers Lo the population, instead of
having 1,000,000, she will have
1,600,000. As can readily be rea-
lized Canadians have their work cut
out, but they are equal to it.
