Why CanadaTn.usf borrow

x.:i t;
T".•

<\.l:••
Because Canada hal put her hand
to the plow and will not turn back:-
-our country is inthe war on the
side of liberty and justice and will stay
in it till complete victory is won and
the unspeakable Hun is smashed and
beaten to the ground;
—a nation at war must make tre-
mendous expenditures in cash to keep
up her armies and supply them with
munitions, food and clothing;
—Canada must finance many mil-
lions of dollars of export trade in food,
munitions and supplies which Britain
and our allies must have on credit;
for these purposes Canada must
borrow hundreds of millions of
dollars-=
And, this money must be borrowed
from the people of Canada:—
Therefore,
Canadawill presently
come to her people for a new Victory
Loan to carry on.
Canadians will loan the money by
again buying Victory Bonds,
The national safety, the national
honor and the national well-being
—require that each and every Canadian
shall do his duty by lending to tbg
nation every cent he can spare for this
purpose.

J'r'oteait .Against the Embargo On
Perantbulators.
The ravages of war have extended
VIM Noyon to the nursery, from the
Piave .to the perambulator, and a
meeting of the Rabies' Protection
League washeld one summer day
near the Peter Pan statue in Kens-
ington Gardens to protest against
the threatened embargo on the mantis
facture of bassinettes, go-carts, and
similar necessities of juvenile pro-
gression,
It all arose in this way. The ins
Pant brother of the lion. Grizel (ac-
cent on the last syllable) found him-
self vociferous but unvehicular. He
had no pram., his father the Earl
having sold the family 0 -springs to
buy War Loan.
Telephones buzzed, telegraph wires
hummed, postmen perspired, but
each method of inquiry addressed to
makers of perambulators failed to
make good the deficiency. There was
none to be had, none was being
made, and the old stocks were sold
out.
It was the vision of her patrician
brother in a soap box on casters that
caused the Hon, Grizel (aged ten) to -
convene the meeting. In an impas- ;
stoned speech she condemned the
Government, censured the war, -
Scratched her nurse, and moved,
seconded, and carried a resolution -
calling on the Premier to resign.
Shortly before she herself was
moved and carried (out), a small
boy — aplebeian from Peckham
named Festubert Jellicoe Salonika
Jones --saved the situation, He ad-
dressed the gathering from the well
at the family chariot emblazoned
with the heraldry of the Jones clan
(a tin bucket with tiddlers rampant
and a sugarless bun squashant).
Both he and the prehistoric convey-
ance were tireless, and ere he had
finished his auditors had been cooed
into comparative content, and gur-
gled into graceful acquiescene in
war conditions.
Master F. J. S. Jones was under-
stood to say that the manufacturers
-
had scrapped their plant to make
self-propelling chairs for wounded
soldiers. He appealed to his fellow -
heirs -of -all -the -ages to stifle their
inherent predictions to comfort, to
adopt an attitude of self-effacing
patriotism equal at least to that of
their parents, and go without
coaches. (It didn't sound like this,
but that is what he meant.)
"Better a scooter in the park than
a cycle in Cathay," he added amid
loud crows, "if it means that our
convalescent warriors have to be
chairless,"
The Government was saved!
"But it is so," said a maker of
these things to the London Express
representative. "If the war lasts
much longer we shall be unable to
make any perambulators at all, and
mothers will be forced to carry their
youngsters till they are old enough
to walk. We may yet see babies
slung across the shoulder like red
Indian papooses,".
RESOURCES ARE POOLED.
Trade Jealousies Forgotten In Tinies
of War.
Co-operation is the watchword of
the manufacturers in Manchester
(Eng.) engaged in making muni-
tions. Before the war each concern
guarded its factory secrets zealously,
but when the plants were dedicatee(
to the Mlinitirns needs of the Gov-
ernment, all resources were pooled,
trade jealousies were forgotten and
factory secrets were freely exchang-
ed to further the common cause.
More than 200 firms in that city
undertook to carry out Government
contracts, In the case of small firing
unable to take over individually -an
entire contract, several club together
and do five-seventha of the work re-
quired, The remaining two -sevenths
is performed at an assembly plant,
and any profit tirade there is divided
among the various contractors includ-
ed in the group,
The Geverntttent's hoard of Man-
agement in the Manchester area has
placed contracts for amounts run-
ning into many millions of pounds
a year. Production amounts to 300,-
000
00;000 shells weekly, and vast quantities
of otlipigi:

before the proper kind of equipment

been reduced to 11', and 12 shil-

now at the reduced price.
Many of the converted plants turn-
ing out shells are run on a non-

. The Colonel's Problem,
The following advertisement from
a London newspaper shows that a
colonel had a greater problem than
commanding his men:
"Colonel, young wife and small
ruffian of angelic exterior, aged our,

Should Cows Be Fed Turnips'r
This is an old question about

the question by saying, '9'es," as
Scotchmen, turnips, and gond farm-
ing are three things usually found
together on farms in Ontario.
There was a time when butter
buyers were not so particular about
the flavor of butter as they are at
present. It is common to hear wo-
men purchasers on city markets, say,
to farm butter -makers, "Your bit

that some carefull feeders are able tts
feed quite large quantities of tttrnip:t

any serious trouble, there is always
danger, which oan best be avoided by
not feeding these to milking cows,
If they are grown on the dairy farm
