NATIONAL CAMPAIGN
FOR OUR OWN GOODS
Oait Editor Urges Country -wide Or-
ganIzation to Promote Sale of
"Made -In -Canada" Prod ricto.
The Galt "Reporter," a few days
ago, had the following timely and in-
teresting editorial finder the heading
"Buy Canadian -made Goods" on the
economic situation in Canada arising
out of the war
"While one of the Immediate effects
of the European- war was the die"-
' organizatioe
is'.organization of trade in' 4anac,a, ti
eeoondary'reeult should be -of a stimu-
lating. character.Owing to' the fact
that the continent of Europe Is the
centre of 'hoetiUtie6, ,a considerable
amount of .manufactured goods :tea•
merly Imported from Gormany,France,
Austria, Belgium and other countries
will now have to be produced here.,
Reports show that every year millions
of d011ars worth of manufactured
goodi from these countries are sold
in
,
Canada. Our own mechanics and
artisans can produce sttc It articles as
well es the foreign workers' and ifthe
manufacturers take advantage of the
opportunity provided, the tear should
result in more work., instead of- less,
" for their.: employes.
"But the whole responsibility of
making the best of the present situ-
ation does not lie with the manufac-
turers, If the. people will demand
Canadian made goods they will be
not only. 'supplying-- their pereonal
'needsbut :creating -work for their

"The patriotic citizen, wheelie goes

WORKMEN CAN HELP
TROOPS AT FRONT
Urged tee Take Personal Interest in
the Manufacture of Equipment
For Soldiers
One of Canada's best known public
men addressed the employes of a
largo boot and shoe factory in Mon -
treat at their annual gathering last
week as follows;
"This Company has obtained a con•
tract from the Government for 40,000
pairs of boots, to be need by the sol-
diers going to the front. I am In.
'formed by the managing director that
a very low bid was put in for thee°
goods, primarily for the purpose of
keeping you nnen and • women em-
ployed during these trying times.
Now, I want to say a word to you
about the boot contract. These boots
are to be worn by the Canadian sol-
diers who; go to war. A soldier's
usefulness de cid
s largely u
ohis
ability to march. He cannot travel
unless his feet are sound, and his
feet can only be, kept, in good con-
dition if his boote are right. . The
management will -purchase the best
material Possible to fill' this 'contract.
The -superintendents will use the ut.
most vigilance, but unless everyone
of you makes it a personal Matter,
genie of these boots may not be quite'
right. It is easy for a laster to leave
a nail in the sole, which may lame
a man who wears the boot. The men
who cut the soles might put, in some
weak shanks, In which case the sol-
diers wearing those boots could not
use a spade properly; and -it might
happen that on their being able to dig
entrenchments their very lives would
depend, When you are putting in tate
counters, remember that a bad coun-
ter ,means a downtrodden heel and
a blistered foot. When you are nail-
ing on the heels remember that to
drive the nails' one -sixteenth of an
inch short .night mean that the heels
would come off and the wearer be
handicapped in marching. You wo•
men of the stitching roost remember
that if the linings are not put in
properly or . any bunching occurs, it
may result in a blister where the foot
is chafed. Now, I want everyone of
you. to rornrnber thatthese•boots are
to be worn by our Canadian boys, and
that a bad boot may mean a lame
soldier, and a lame soldier May mean
a 'Canadian taken prisoner or shot.
People are giving large ,-sums of
money to help those who go to the
war. You can help by seeing that
they are properly shod. The honor
of the firm, and thealves of our brave
men, I leave in your hands with per-
fect confidence." '

Winnipeg Quotations Much Higher
Than- Those of Minneapolis
The immediate effect of the dealer-
ation of war on the wheat market
was, as is well ,known, a stiffening in
prices. Roughly speaking the Winni-
peg prices for wheat had averaged
around 80 cents per bushel before the
war, while recent quotations are In
the neighborhood of $1.05 and have
been higher,. There have been some
fluctuations due to uncertainty re-
garding the conditions of shipment
and insurance across the Atlantic, but
generally 'speaking there le little
doubt ' that the war will mean, much
bigher prices to the Western fernier
than would have. been the case 14
peace had prevailed. in so far as the
increased price will compensate for
a partial loss of crop, the West will
gain Prem the war,
An outetencling and, interesting fact
le the great difference tri raver of the
\hlniiipeg market in the price of
wheat. On August '10th the Winni-
peg price was 14 (lents per bushel
higher than the Minneapolis prlce for
the stintoltind of wboat. In fact the
difference was. so .great that Canadian
millers were forced to buy American
wheat which could be laid down cheap•
or at Canadian mills after the freight
and duty had been paid than the Care
Allan article. Under war conditions,
which, however, everyone hopes will
not prevail long, it would seem that
the Canadian wheat grower would
suffer by a reriioval of the duty. Tho'
big American.. wheat crop has tended
to reduce the price of wheat in this

The sudden breaking out of war
