RURNlN(i
Sung to the music of "Keep the Home
Fires Burning.")
Throuell the smoke and din of battle
Comes a cry from o'er the wave
Chtlet kens keep the prayer fires burning
None but God can help and save.
Net p our country's cause before Him,
Call upon him night and day,
Be the rear -guard of our army
And our strength in wt:alcness--pray!
Forward freemen; On to victory!
Shall our watchword ever be.
We will beep the prayer fires burning
For our lads across the sea. .
F"tr the lads we love so dearly
loin the city .end the dale
E e will humbly plead before•IIim
And our prayers will prevail.
Sou of God, be Thou their helper '
When their heart and courage fail,
When temptations fierce assail them
Be their Comrade through the vale.
Make our country great and worthy
Of their Christlike sacrifice,
Cleansed from sin and self, for service
May a race redeemed arise,
Refrain:
Keep the prayer fires burnirig
While your hearts are yearning;
Though the boys are far away,
They dream of home.
God will guard and guide them
Near whate'er betide them.
Keep the prayer fires burning bright
Till the buys come home.

Object Lesson to Whole World
The passage of the "bone dry" bill in
the United States Senate leads Tertius of
The Globe to make the following observa-
tion:
"This is a wonderful step forward and
clearly indicates that the liquor industry
is to be regarded in the United States as
a non-essential. The experiment of abol-
ishing alcoholic beverages is almost with-
out parallel in the history of civilization,
and it is possible, some think it probable,
that the nation will never again want to
sanction the sale of liquor. Certainly if it
be found, as it surely will, that the people
can get along without alcohol with real
satisfaction, the old conditions will not be
restored. This is an object -lesson to the
whole world, and in particular to England
and the British Empire. Let us hope that
the message will be heeded."
Missing Aviator a Prisoner in Germany
Flight Lieut. Edward C. J. McCrackin,
son of Rev. J. C. McCrackin rector of
Blenheim, was officially reported missing
on August 13th last. A cable wasreceived
on the 21st September stating that he was
a prisoner in Germany but gave no details.
Later in the day the glad message was re-
ceived by his parents direct from himself
informing them that Ile was a prisoner in
Karlsruhe and well. As the young aviator
was that day engaged in a bombing ex-
pedition it is evident from word received
from an officer of the squadron that his
machine was badly shot up. Edward
joined the Imperial Flying Corps in April
1917 and went direct to England, where
he received his training, principally in the
big airdrome at Lincoln. After complet-
ing his training, including a special course
in aerial gunnery and bombing, he did ser-
vice in the East Coast Guard in England
for tlnee months, and was sent to France
in July. Owing to the impending attacks
of the Allies there was great activity in the
Air Squadrons and Lieut. McCrackin was
attached to Squadron 60. Their work, as
the commanding officer said, was very
exacting and dangerous. It is a source of
great satisfaction to his family and friends
to know that even though a prisoner he is
well. The yourtg officer is a grandson of
Mrs, John McCracken of this town.

ill until Sunday when symptons of appen-

He was in his 16th year and was a general
favorite of his associate$ at the Wingham
High School. Besides his parents he is
survived by a younger sister, Velma. The
family have the sympathy of a large circle
of friends.
The funeral service will be held in the

memorandum says: - effects.
"The Canada Food Board, after full
consideration of the matter, has adopted
the policy of the Allied food controllers'
resolution as far as wheat products are
concerned, and will use the Allied loaf.
This means that 20 per cent of substitutes
must be used with wheat flour. The
Government heartily approves this policy,
"While the crops in Europe and the
United States have been considering
everything, excellent this year, and while
there is sufficiency of food in sight to
meet our requirements for the next twelve
months, nevertheless there is the greatest
need for conservation, particularly in flour
and wheat, for the purpose of creating a
reserve sufficient against widespread un-
favorable food conditions next year.
"The Government, therefore, hopes the
people of Canada will heartily and loyally
assist to this end by using in their house-
holds the amount of substitutes required
under the regulations."
Subscriptions: $1.50 per year.

HURON PUPILS AT NORMAL Free Demonstration.
A considerable number of the houses in
Ward 2 have been without electric light
for over a week owing to the burning out
of a transformer. We understand that
this occurs frequently but that a spare
transformer is not kept in stock. We will
soon wake up to the fact that public
utilities must be run by a commission.

We have received copies of open letters
to the Premier and Finance Minister is-
sued by Mr. I. W. Killam, of ahe Royal
Securities Co., objecting to the tax -exemp-
tion of the next Victory Loan, on the as-
sumption, apparently that the bonds
would sell as readily subject to taxation
as tax-exempt. Sir Thomas White, how-
ever, points out that if the bonds were is-
sued subject to taxation they
would have to be issued at a higher
rate of interest; and that the Dominion
would lose more than she would gain. He
points out that if the war securities already
issued had been issued at only one-half of
one per cent. higher interest rate than
they were, and made subject to Dominion
taxation; the Dominion treasury would
have been richer from income taxation at
most by. $1,500,000, and would have been
poorer by reason of the higher interest rate
by $3,750,000, so that the taxation of
these bonds would have meant an annual
loss of $2 250,000, to Canada. However
it doesn't make any difference to us per-
sonally whether the bonds are taxable or
tax-exempt. We haven't enough income
to be taxable in any case, supposing we
were able to buy a bond. Let everybody
get ready to buy a bond if he can, though.
The more bonds are held by men and
women of small means the less proportion
of them will get into the hands of the man
of large means who might find it worth
while to sell out other securities and buy
Victory Bonds so as to reap the advan-
tage of tax exemption. Hang on to the
bonds you have and buy more.

Large Barn Burned
While Gideon Ruttle and Robt. Lowry
were engaged at threshing Mr. Forrester's
crop in his barn on the Huron township
boundary, near Kincardine, on Saturday,
a spark from their machine set fire to the
barn and the flames spread so rapidly
that nothing but the horses were saved.
They did not even have: time to get the
harness. The barn contained the entire
season's crop and the machine was a
brand new one, the proprletora only,
Owned it about two weeks. Mr. Ruttle is
reeve of Huron and a brother-in•Iaw of
Mr. Alex. Reid of Wingham.
