Of helpful fellowahip;
The Stars and Stripes so wall agree
With Britain's ancient heraldry
By freedom's conflict knit.
The bunds of friendship, firm and sure,
So 1ong.existing, shall endure
Through oenturies of peace,
And allie' we meet ever be
For righteousness and liberty,
Till sin and war shall pease.
One race, one language, we should

Each other as the saint above
And evermore agree
To usher in the glorious birth
Of God'e good kingdom on
earth—

$3,000,000 Subsidy to
Irish Flax Growers
London, July 3rd. -- The House of
Commons to night passed the second
reading of the bill providing for a
Government subsidy of 5600,000 to
promote flax growing in Ireland, to
replace the lost Belgian and Russian
crops and to provide material for the
army, navy and air forces.
It is quite evident, according to the
above Associated Press despatch, that
the Allies are in dire need of the nec-
essary oloth for the making of aero—
plane wings. The Cauadiauflux grow -
era aro not snhaidfaed and they are
willing to pay good wages for the nee-
essary help to save the flax fibre crop,
It is again predicted by the English
papers to hand that the final decision
of the war will come in the air As a
patriotic duty every possible aesistartoe
should be gievn to have the flax pulled
at the right time. Read the adver-
ment in another column of this paper
and offer your services to help win the
war,

Rev, H. D. Moyer, the new pastor
of the Methodist Church arrived in
town ou Saturday last and took charge
of the services on Sunday. He is a
mau, still in the prime of life, and
gave` the appearance of much energy
and driving fore), and will be an ac-
quisition to the spiritual force of Sea -
forth, He has already received a
warm reception and no doubt his stay
in Seaforth will be'•a-pleasant one. He
preached two able sermons on Sunday.
His test in the evening was II Cor. IV
1&2, After a brief description of the
pleasures and the tribulations of
a Methodist minister in moving he gave
a stirring appeal to the young men of
the congregation to give tbemsclvea to
the work of the ministry. It was a
work that demanded more than any
other profession from one, It was a
main's work, It might not bring so
much money, but it gave more sincere
and real pleasure.

Will War Be Won
In The Air
English papers to hand by mail are
again predicting that the final deoision
will come in the air, In eupport of
this position reference is made to what
aerial supremacy has already dons for
tate Allies, At Kernmel Hill it is
stated that that the Germane were
held back for several hours by aircraft
alone, and at Ham a great gap of the
Allied line, when the late German
offensive was at its height, was blotted
in the same way, It is even consider-
ed possible that aerial superiority will
make new tactics possible, that munit-
ion centres back of the Gorman lines
can be destroyed and that whole Ger-
man divisious eau be cot off from their
communications and surrender forced.
