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 fellow -citizens. When the Empire is involved in sucli a trotinendous creels +g the present titers is something for all to db. :We_cannot..alt go to the front but those who stay et borne Can do a great deal towards creating conditions that -will make the suffer- ing here as light as. possible. , "The patriotic citizen, wheelie goes to the store to .511 life wants will de- mand in every Base possible goods "Made in Canada." • There should be -a well-defined campaign carried on throughout• the country urging Can- adians to purchase goods "of home naanutaotnr•e. .If . an accelerated de mend for Canadian goods le. created during the war, It will doubtless be maintained after normal conditions return' in Europe,, "In this way we etand to benefit per- manently by insisting that what we buy must be Canadiaft-made" ' 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." ' QRILLI'A AND "MADE -IN -CANADA" C1lnitolni';P. S. Report, for_ November.

Thompson, Teacher, 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 Some improvement Already Notice able in C'anadlan Industries -Bet- ter Times Ahead December lOtb, 1914, 1111111111111111111111111, The sudden breaking out of war caused many to "run to cover."
