OUR ROYAL GUEST
IIis Royal Highness has captured!
Canada's heart. Canadians had heard!
of the Prince's democratic charm from
the fighting men who mot hint at 'the i
front, and they were prepared to like'
him when he came, As her futurei
ruler, Canada` gave him a loyal and;
enthusiastic welcome. But there is a;
force bigger and more compelling;
even than that, which draws all'
hearts to the Prince as he journeys:
across our Dominion? It is his own;
personality, his unaffected, straight
forward, winning boyishness, It is1
Edward himself, with his blue eyes'';
and fair hair, the smile of comrade -1
ship upon' his lips, the bright, Spon-!
te.neous smile of the genuine boy of
the unspoiled heart.' Dignified as be-,
comes his high position, courageous
as he proved on the battlefield, it is,
after all, his quiet sympath-r and con -1
sideration that has won Canada's
hcmage.
The Prince has now been seen in
Canada under all sorts of conditions'
at all sorts of functions, formal and'
otherwise, and .it is very evident that'
his greatest qualities come from the]
heart and not from the head. Her
They made a striking pair, the
white-haired man with his expression
o;; utter indifference, his air of de-
tachment, and the lad all life and
eagerness,
"Hark to the cheering, grandprel
He comes!' IIe comes!" cried the latter
in French, cotsing his cap in the air
again and agt;•n,
"Yes," came the answer in the same
tongue; "he comes, the Iinilash
Prince!" No friendliness in tit-, tone-
no feeling.
The surging crowd pressed thein
forward, "See, he waves to me! My
Prince! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!
My Prince!" THh lad's tones, shrill
with excitement, his waving cap, and,
who knows, his handsome face maybe
holds the Royal visitor's gaze, For
a moment it was just one fine youth
gazing understandingly at another.
Then the eyes of the Prince moved on.
to the bent figure and the grim patri-
cian face of the•oid man. The warmth
of his answering salute to the lad was
still in his glance, the smile -whose
potency all recognized during his stay
amongst us boyish, irresistibly
friendly, still on his lips. This time

A Quebec Incident. -
I
A significant incident in connection
with the visit of the Prince occurred
at Quebec. Among the throng stood;
an old man and a young man. They
were grandfather and grandson, mem-I
hers of a French family that has cher-I
ished the religion, the sentiment, the]
language, the manners and eliSteMS it

"Our Pr,ince," corrected the grand-

This Happe:led in Toronto.
•He'was a curly-haired, red-headed,
blue-eyed, freckle -faced boy -hatless
and stockingless-but he knew a "real
feller" when he saw him, and Prince
Edward was hie hero.
The Royal auto was moving- elnwly
along the streets of North 'Toronto,
And the goy ran alongside, his eyes
glowing. Every few yards he shouted
a hurrah. For nearly half a mile, dodg-
iug among the. crowds, he kept pace
with the car that bore his hero. Then,
breathlcsa and tired, he -wave] his
farewell.
But the Prins had seated hien. The

LET'S STOP THAT LEAR.4*A
Our community's money BELO NGS to us. It should be USED for the improvement of OLSR town and for
the good of OUR country. Are we allowing it to LEAK away? And are we DOING anything to DISCOVER the
LEAKS? Can't we put HOME TRADE to work? THERE is a workman who can STOP the leaks. The tool he
uses is MUTUAL PATRONAGE. We farmers and merchants should get together as MASTERS and use this
powerful agent to STOP the LEAK that is fast draining the resources of this town and this country, It takes
Co-operation. That's all

Royal Highness was delighted to find
that in Canada, War Savings Stamps
are on sale similar to those that are
so popular in England. It was his in-
tention to call at the post -office and
make his purchase of the stamps in
the regular manner, during his stroll
around Ottawa incognito, to, but pres-
sure of other ens emd.nls prevented
this being done. The stamps wero
therefore scat to inns at Government

PRINCE WILL VISIT INDIA.
NOT AUSTRALIA, IN 1920
London, Sept, 7. -The National
News is informed that nothing is
known, either at the Colonial Office
oe among the Royal Entourage, to
bear out the Australian report that
the Prince of ;Wales will visit Aus-
tralia next spring. On the contrary,
it is considered as most unlikely.
There is good reason to believe that
His Royal Highness will go to India
before visiting Australia. It is ex-
pected that His Majesty will shortly
direct that an official statement be is-
sued on the subject.
