Mr. Lindsay, Freeidentof tho South West Toronto Liberal Association. I3.e tried to get quotations in thousand ton lots from the luternational Nickel Company, and asked them to inolude the usual commission for him. They would not even give him a quotation but referred him to the agents of the British Admiralty instead. This action. made bias suspect that the Internat- ional Nickel Company was sending nickel to Germany and .the British agents were trading with the enemy. • Strong Language But Justified Agitators against National Service should be called traitors; they are un- worthy the name of men, and should not be at liberty. 'Thio is what Prem ter T. 0. Norrie said to the Great War' Veterans' Association in Winnipeg re- cently. "Men at the head of such organiz- ations as are leading the movement against the Government have nn right to liberty, and in the near future will be surprised at their own smallness, They are not worthy the name of men," he added. "These men are doing the S.aiser'e will just as much ael his armies. They. are worthy of noother name but trai- tors. They stand behind the band that aesasinatrd Belgium. murdered Nurse Cavell, and performed other brutal atrocities." This is strong language but it was coating to the men who do nothing themeelves but find fault with what others are doing to help win the war.

Sometimes I take one in my band, forgetting till 1 see It is a little half•worn shoe, not large enough for me; And all at once I feel, a sense of bitter lose and pain, As sharp as when two years ago, it cut my heart in twain, 0, little feet that wearied not, I wait for them no more, For I am drifting on the tide, but they have reached the shore; Andwhile the blinding tear -drops wet these little shoes so old, I try to think nay darling's feet treading streets of gold. And so I lay them down again, always turn to say— God bless the little feet that surely cannot stray. Oh the bitterness of °parting be done away, Till I meet my darling walking his feet can never stray; When I no more am drifted upon the surging tide, But with him safely landed upon the river side; Be patient, heart, while waiting to see the shining way, For the littlefeet in the golden street can never go astray. MOTH Eit THE T4X ON PROi'ITS • How a Company Can Give $1,000 to the Patriotic Fund at a Cost of $750 It may not be known generally that contributions to the Canadian Patrio- tic Fund and the Red Cross can be treated as expenses in any business subject to the federal tax on profits,, This implies, of course, that the profits on which the amount of the contribu- tions. Take a sample case. A business makes a profit of $10,000 in access of seven per cent. The tax on tbie of 25 per cent, is $2,500. But if the business has contributed $1,000 to. the Patriotic U'und its profits will be estimated at 59,000, .and its taxation will be reduced from $2,500 to $2,250, a saving ofi,$250.
