They got over a thousand million pounds nearly twice as much as the Germans ever got and besides it is all bonefide new money. They are making great efforts to induce the labouring class to save. And they have cut the beer sup- ply down to ten million barrels, before the war it was 38 million, It was a great effort to do this much even, for the Brewery and Distillery trade is the strongest trade over here, There is more money invested in it than in the coal or iron trade. Brewery shares are held by all classes of people from, the poorest up. so that it is doubtful if even the war will make England turn to Pro- hibition The temperance people are advertising in all the large papers and of course the brewers are answering thein in the same way H'tve been send- ' Continued on Page 2 School of Commerce Notes.

Mase Newly r ductio c Ck l Floated Preside") le Beed et To the Men of Clinton: Ilave you stopped to think that the The annual meeting of the Clinton Whole world is in the grip of War? Board of Trade was held Monday even - Have you realized that war always brings Famine? Do you know that Famine - nothing short of Famine, lack of bread, lack of meat, shortage of food to the point of starvation for tens of thou- sands faces the whole world -faces us in this land of Plenty as it is gripping Europe today, and that there will be raised in the world this year only 50 to 60 per cent of the amount of food produced in 191.4? 1f you haven't real- ized it stop and think and you will see what the Government and a hundred other organizations are talking about when they cry Produce, produce, raise more crops, work; to produce more food! 'b Whether the war end this year or not ail Europe will be on famine rations next winter. If the war ends think of the demand fur foots; if it goes on what a cry there will be for food. What shall we have to give; what shall we have for ourselves? You know that food costs now; it will be less plentiful and dearer next year In another column appears the re- solution of the Board of Trade recom- mending and taking steps for mobilizing the ratan power of Clinton to help the farmers sow and harvest the largest possible acreage. Already the Com- mittee are enlisting the men of Clinton in the cause of meeting the greatest need the world has over seen.- Mark the words. The men of Clinton, like the rest of the country have done little to win the weir. Now is their chance to do something. • If we only think, if we only realize how much we shall need this food next year, we will getout and help sow it, cultivate it and harvest it, and we'll not haggle abodt wages. The farmers hold the land front which this food must conte. We cannot force them to cultivate it but we want them to realize that if they will provide the work to be done we will do our best to see that it is done. We can only ask them to plan for the largest possible acreage and to accept such help as we, are able to give them. Patriotism and the larger -call of Human- ity demands of us and then alike that we do all we can to produce that food which will win the war and save its victims from starvation. There is an Enlistment Roll at the Town Clerk's office, Go there and john the Production Club. It is .not time to argue and consider, prompt action is the brand of the Patriot, The Board of Trade Committee.

Mceraggart and Mrs, M, D, -McTaggart, of town. ing in the Council Chamber with a good attendance of the members present, and the president, Mr. David Cantelon, in the chair. Interesting discussions on practial subjects took up most of the evening and the following resolutions were fram ed and carried ' Andrews-Byrdone That we, the members of the Clin- ti.in Board of Trade do hereby petition the Legislature of Ontario to have all the moneys collected by the Govern- ment in the way of Motor Car Tax ex- pended on the Country Roads and that each County receive . fair proportion tion of the amount collected Bart ltfr-Shepherd , That communications be sent to Reeve Ford and 1be County Council ex- pressing our hearty approval of the County entering into a contract at once with the Ontario Government under the Highway improvement Act for building of Country Roads, and urging its early adoption. Cooper -Ford That we ask Prof. Currelly, of Tor- onto, t,, give a lecture in the Town Hall some evening in May and that a committee consisting of ,Messrs, Mann- ing, McTaggart, 1Iellyar, and the Secret- ary be asked to complete arrange- ments and that the proceeds be given to Patriotic purposes.

The treasure's report shows a small balance ,on hand, notwithstanding the fact that only two years annual fees have ,been collected since the organ- ization of the Board in ,1903.
