S: Second coetiaa of Asphaltum. 4. - Coating of crashed slate. Yesterday -da Wooden shingles of twenty er thirty years ago were of splendid quality. and answered the purpose very well. There was nothing better at that time. In fact no other roofing material was on the market. Yet who would think of putting on shingles to -day? When the deterioration of wooden shingles became noticeable, efforts were made to invent a roofing that would not only be an economical and permanent' substitute for wooden shingles, but one that would outlast them in service,' Brantford Roo/fne was the result. It has "made good." The secret of its success is. this: First, the base is of pure, long -fibred felt which is thoroughly saturated with asphalt or mineral pitch. The asphalt and crystal roll roofings are then thickly coated with crushed rock particles, which adhere tightly to that base. and the whole forms a permanent fireproof, water -tight roof. Brantford Asphalt and Rubber Roofing are made in three different weights. Crystal is made in heavy weight only, and in red or green natural colors. All three grades are pliable and , web suited to either fiat or steep roofs, ntf,. rCi g rd comes in rolls with protected ends. The layers do not stick together and the roofing is easily laid. It requires no painting or tarring when put on. It does not crack with the cold nor melt with the summer's heat. It does not curl, split, rust or blow off. It gives permanent weather and fire protection at a reasonably low initial post. May we send you our roofing book and samples? They will show you the real value of these roofing materials.

In Poland for two years. two great armies. each num- bering millions, have been locked in a death struggle, Now forward, now back, these mighty hosts have pushed each other and tcampded into barren Waste its fruiLfulfields and burned its beautiful cities. And at last, when they found they hod had to retreat foe ghost, in doing so the Russians !burned -op their own crops and gnainaries, applied the torch to cities bigger than Henn ilton, drove reivay the cattle tend the inhabitants and left all des- olate that the enemy would re- ceive no benefit., The inhabitants have perished by tens of thousands no child of less than ten, it is said is left ,alive. This, ladies and gentlemen, is war. Then there are our friends the Pacifists. They nee not much in evidence in Canada today, anci very little in Great Britain either, til-' though before the war most every body was a pacifist, and when peace terms noose to be discussed in doubt you will heat their voices once more. You hear them now to the South of es: All the an- vocates ofunprene edness,withMr. Bryan as their prophet, claimed that peace treaties had been sign- ed with all the nations of the world and war had been abolished. In there opinion the one stay for a country to get into war is to pre - pave for it. Which isabout the. same thing as .i19110411111r, that a death by drowning will more likely be your fate if you learn to swim. But there is'the third 'school... It is the Moderate school, standing between two unreasonable • ex- tremes.. Its opinions are those to which I subscribe and which doubt less most of you share. We do not bold war to be beneficial, but that war is really a trelmendous evil, bringing a train of woe and suffering aerie] to contemplate. But colossal an evil as war is, bi utal terrible ae it may be yet we holt( itis preferable to other .fates that might befall us. 11e}neo look at Belgium, .ana the position of the men of 13el;o-ium., The German of- ficer says to Belgian; "Go tn, and mace shells." And he has to make shells to be used against his own ficin. The Germknn says "1)o so.." And the Belgian n has to do it. He has to get off the strietvalk to let A German officer miss. Ile has to seek his women insulted, outrag- ed, a• d : nee l eke or lose hiS hfe herever the Gert fl ,army sets its feet its policy is to sterileesuch areign • of terror that steer pL ler` tsrnis ,accorded to the conquered people will appear lite paradise, As you go on with your usual life in 'Huron do not forget Belgium; enol 'hat in Belgl,tm men too around u block rather than meet other men sel'aslxamect are they of what their unpreparedness has ;brought upon them. War rutty be an evil, ladies 'and ge,ntiemen, but it is to be webenm.ed rather than slavery. We moderates would scc.ept war a thonsane' times rather than lose our liberties. People of C'anarta 1 Let us look et Canada with outsiders' • eyes. In the autumn of 1913 at the Royal ISI11itu.ry College, :Kingston, T set a history paper to a elates ,of 50 re- eruit cadets, hand-picked boys they were from all over Canada. And to see how' deeply they count think on such a matter, 1 included this ,queetintl; ".13y what vightdto twelve millions of Canadians and Australians inhibit one -el ;;lath of the ,entire globe, while the balance of the 1,600.00D,g00 of the earth's id - habitants crown the other seven - eighths?" Yes! The question i.s founded In fact ,We Canadians and aur felloit Beil:ishees in Aust- ralia are about .twelve millions in number. ,and the occupy the beet eighth of the world's surface. By what right do eight million Cana- dians possess a territory equal to the continent of laurope, the cradle oivilization for twenty centurias.. it is not asr,ch i❑ knineral• re- sources. It has no such foreet wealth.. Does not 'begin tq have the ,agricultural potentialities of Canada.

And so I repeat to yon this question ; "By oyouo c , w n what right „do c u thisn derful heritagof Can tela, while millions elsewhere starve for want of land room?" Do you say you Will hold it and evelop it for vour children ,and youe children's child- ren? Do you sing with Billing,. "Mine sere the gates to open .and mine the gates to close"? Whence cornea your • pee or to close?? But let as get bark to the an - sweep of the fifty -sir` cadets.

But look along''dowii history and read the stories toe the people who TSR CLINTON NE W PRA. thought t'hie and found themseli;es mistaken. The Boman Emp re fen when the Romans hired others to do the fighting kind gave themsel- ves to lust s u 1 and utto The P f n T g Jews carate to think nl theydid not halve ,to fight and today they are refugees over the face of the earth. Another ,lad's answer was "We have the right of first -comers.' But that would not satisfy the class. It was pointed out that the i ,e 1 d, t net were ere ler � e before us the North American Indians ante -date the d''retneh; before the redmen were the mound -builders; doubt- less there were c:till prior occup- ants.

And the object- ion is soiled. International con- sent ctid not save Poland to the Poles se century and a half ago. Nor .'Korea to the Koreans a few years back; nor.

And Some months ago he Jaid dowry his life on the fields of lFlandere to support of his idea., He recognised something that the people of Baron ,have nor yet come to see, That our enemies must be met as enemies; are not to be eve -- come by temporizing, hitt met in the ,field end overcome. And tonight I repeat in slightly differing phrase, bat with the same meaning. to the farmers of Herne -By what right do you hold your farms; what is your title to tliepn; who ,and what will keep them for you in the hour of supreme teat? You speak of your deeds. What's a dc+ed? a scrap of paper if nothing is ,behind the law by which it was cvolived. fou 'pay your taxes. Does Any one love to pay taxes?
