It is wise to clean only one room at a time. Begin with the walls, then do the floor and windows, and finally the furnishings. To remove wax from polished floors use vinegar in warm water or a standard clean- ing fluid. To clean rungs and uphol- stery use a vacuum cleaner and the suitable attachments. When cleaning bookcases and mag- azine racks do not forget to sort otet the more recent contents for the Navy League. Do not. overlook the pictures, lighting fixtures and knick- knacks. Now you are ready to re- arrange the furniture and hang fresh curtains.

Winnipeggers whose lives .hegan when the old century was end- ing and the new century was atart- ing- to run tt course, can form a re- alistic idea of what the city was like 'Alen it was enslaved under the tyr- anny of t'ao» harsh, coercive Sabba- tarianism which then was still- a power in the land. The automobile era was yet to come. But the horse-drawn street cars had given way to electric street cars. Thee powerhouse ft which the. current wags generated by steam shut down every night at midnight until the next morning, except that when the current stopped on Saturday night it did not cone on' again until seven o'clock on Sunday evening. By city ordinance there was 'no electric current in Winnipeg on Sundays un- til it was time for the evening ser- vices in the churches. Coal oil lamps and candles were the only sources of light in most houses. On winter Sundays, with darkness com- ing on not much later than mid-af- ternoon, lamps and candles had to be lighted in the few houses that were wired for electric light, until the cur- rent came on at seven. There 'Was a car line that ran out to Elm Park, that pleasant resort for picnickers, with its towering elms and its spaces of greensward on high ground enclosed in a beautiful bend of the .Rbd River. But people could not get out, there on Sundays, unless replies. they had horses and carriages.

Hannam is President and Managing Director of the Canadian Federation of Agri- culture. In a message addresse ., to farmers, Mr. Hannam says: ' "The farmer who is wise wi1,1 look ahead and plan carefully. "And in these years when prices and returns are more satisfactory :than they have been, when labor is- scarce, when farm machinery is restricted, when building materials are not readily available, a good course to follow would be that of putting a substantial share of the year's earnings into sound securities such as Victory Bonds. These reserves will not only provide a measure of insurance against dif- ficulties in less favorable years, but at such time when supplies are favorable and costs will probably be lower, their purchasing power will be greater and return from them correspond- ingly increased. "We believe this is good planning from the farmer's standpoint. At the same time, it is the very best of planning from the standpoint of the Nation." FARMERS CAN BUY VICTORY BONDS on convenient deferred payments THROUGH ANY BANK . . . just sign a short form letter which Victory Loan Salesmen carry (banks have copies) ordering the bank to buy Victory Bonds for you. Pay 5 % when ordering and the balance at any time during the next 12 months. The interest the bonds earn pays the interest on the bank loan. 4-46 611440NAL WAR ' k1HAHCE CMM'flT E people without horses and caeliages who had relatives or 'Friends in hos- pital could not go to see them on Sunday exeept!by walking --- and that meant for most residents in the city walking long distances, going and coming, in summer heat or in winter cold. In many ways the relentless rigor of the Sabbatarian zealots held the life of the city tight in its grip. Every shop in the city had to be locked up tight from Saturday to Monday. Not even, a loaf of bread or' a bottle of milk could be bought on Sunday. One Sunday afternoon two- other twoother members 'of the staff of the Free Press and I happened to be at work in the office when two Sabha- tarian vigilantes, keen on tightening their control, made their way in and demanded to know what we were do- ing. On being told that we were pre- paring material for the next morn- ing's paper, they wrote our names down in their notebooks and the ad- mission of each of us of our guilt. And they stalked out, threatening us with legal prosecution. Twice in the few years preceding 1906 the citizens possessed of com- mon sense had succeeded in having the city council provide for a refer- endum on thee question of Sunday street cars. The extreme Sabbatar- ians came out" on top both times, But in 1906 came the great revolt. In that year there was a third referendum. The fair-minded, sensible, freedom - loving citizens rallied their forces for the struggle, and they were the winners. It was a contest marked by extraordinarily violent utterances by their opponents. '''The advocates of Sunday street cars were accused of being hand in glove with the most evil elements in the city, to share in the financial profits to be reaped from the demoralization, of the citizens. Among the foremost advocates of Sunday street cars were Rev. Dr. Duval, of old; Knox Church, and the Archdeacon Fortin, of Holy Trinity Church. Those were the only two downtown churches, and Dr_,•Duval and the. Archdeacon were denounced as wanting stmet cars on Sunday be- cause their congregations would thus be larger, an accusation which those two devoted .pastors and excellent cit- izens had no reason in the world not to acknowledge the truth of, had'they chosen to do so—as every minister of the gospel in Winnipeg today, of whatever creed or denomination, would agree. For two score years now Winnipeg has had street cars on Sunday as on every other day of the week, and there does not seem to he any good and sufficient reason for thinking that they have had a debasing influ- ence on the morals of the citizens.
