1' iflP'INQ THE TROOPS.
Process at Niagara Camp is a Com
plicated One.
When people watch .a grand review
of troops or stop to see a troop of
soldiers go by on the street the idea
of the equipment Of the large body
of .men scarcely ever enters their
minds, Yet every article of clothing
or equipment of every soldier, and
everything he uses'or handles, must
be served out to him and a record
kept of it all. It may be interesting
to note that in every soldier's dvess
and equipment there are 59 separate
pelts or articles. •
The equipping and recording of
everything handed out to the 12,700
soldiers in Niagara Camp is a eves*
requiring the highest efficiency and
care; yet it has all been done by
four risen and it is no wonder that the
Canadian Ordnance Department ,s
referred to as a marvel of efficiency
and completeness.
Major A. A. Lyndon is at the bead
of the Ordnance Department at-Nia-
gara,

under him. The Major's work some -;I
what resembles the management of a
mammoth department store—a store,
by the way, which is singularly
short-handed,
A reporter who was shown
through the Ordnance buildings re- '
cently, was impressed with the neat-
ness and orderliness of everything. 1
Every article is right there where the
staff can lay its bands upon it at a
moment's notice, whether the call is
for ea huge marquee or a shoulder -
button for some lone private.
The Ordnance Department bandies
everything used by horse and,,man in
camp—all except what they eat. An
Army1Service Corps looks after that
important matter. Records are kept
of everything issued out from a field
kitchen to a shoulder -strap.
A few days ago Lieut. Wilson and
eighteen men, forming the non -per-
manent Ordnance Corps, arrived no
get a little schooling, into the work
of the Ordnance Department before
proceeding to Camp Borden. Major
Lyndon, who is now in charge of
the Ordnance Department at Camp
Borden, left for the new' camp the
end of this ',.eek, and Captain Cart -
mer, who has been in charge of Lon-
don Camp Ordnance, left to take his
place.
Canadians Only Third.
Despatches from British headquar-
ters in France tell of a friendly con-
test in tree felling, wood chopping,
and sawing among the finest woods,
men in the British Empire, Cana-
dians, Australians, and New Zee-
_
Lindero.
The coptest arose from a friendly
argument among the soldiers con-
cerning the prowess of the' woods-
men of their section of the world.
A date was set for the contest, and
;when the teams assembled beeches
and elms of about t:va feet in eh -

three men was to fell three treeeaThe

The Australians then tackled their

quickly than the Canadians, man-

from the interested spectators, sol-
diers off duty for the most part,
when•tbe time was announced. Then
the Maoris of New Zealand, brown
sons eT'the forest, were started on
their task, and a murmur rose from
the wat;chera as they saw the swift,
tireless swing of the axes wielded
by the muscular brown men. Their
efforts did not slacken, indeed they
seemed to quicken, as the axes bit

In the 'wood -sawing contest, how-

Ontario Boy Scouts Enlist for Service
A fair estimate of the number of
Boy Scouts now serving the Empire
fa•one Ontario is 1,200, drawn from
add parts of the Province. One case
worthy of special note is tbat of the
Boy Scouts troop of Hespeler, On-
tario, comprising 24, all told, evert/
one of whom is now with the colors.
One of the Toronto troops shows an
enlistment of 31 and another of 30.
The Province of Quebec has a record
of over 250 names, and estimates
that the total for that Province
would be about 400. Two of the
Montreal troops shows a total enlist-
ment of over twenty for overseas ser-
vice. Lieut. -Colonel 3. A. Hesketh
of the Lord Strathcona Horse, wire
was acting Provincial Commissioner
of the Boy Scouts Association for
Manitoba when the war broke out,
has been awarded the Djstinguiehed
Service Order. Captain E. R. Street,
a former Guelph Scoutmaster, has
also been the recipient of a like dis.
Unction for his work in Flanders.
First Cannery in Canada.
The Grimsby Independent says an
error is made by those who declare
that the first canning factory in Can-
ada was established 34 years ago.
The Independent says the first Cana-
dian factory started 55 years ago and
was set up by W. W. Kitchen in the
house in Grimsby now owned by Mr.
W. J. Fiett. Moreover, Grimsby, The
Independent says, has been 'a canning
factory town ever since.

THE THIRD YEAR OF THE WAR calls for the organized co-opera-
tioii of every citizen of the Province of Ontario. ALL must helpto na"sten
the day of final triumph. For the sake of those who have made the Great
SSacrifice, and of those now overseas or in training, every citizen must give
4
the best servicep ossible. No one need feel "out of it" when the great day
of Victory comes, but everyone must qualify 3u0w by sharing in the sacrifices
which the War demands..
Suggestions for Organization
In messy Municipalities there are
already
active patriotic organizations, such as Recruiting,
Red Cross, Soldiers' Aid and Patiiotic Fund•Com-
mittees. In such cases, one of these, or, better
still, a joint committee of these -and the citizens
generally,, might undertake to co-operate with
the Central Committee at Toronto.
Where there is no active representative
organization, it is suggested that onegie formed
at the earliest moment. It 'should be non-
partisan (in the broadest sense), and represent
livery interest affected by war conditions.
What Organizations Should Do
Overseas service.
forOver
Find
1. more men
2. Help in keeping our munitions plants; working
to full capacity.
3. Induce every possible worker, risen and
women, to serve on the farm and in other
essential. industries.
4. Find money for the coming WAR LOAN
and war funds.
5. In short, assist in the organization ' of
Ontario's resource's to meet war conditions
and after -war conditions.
THRIFT and ECONOMY, and a careful consideration and preparation
for our problems are essential if we would meet the present and future needs.
For farther suggestions and information you are cordially requested to write

LOOKING AHEAD.
THOUGH the way seems dark ahead,
Let's not worry, let's not fuss,
Be4lownhearted, fliioking what
Coming das's will do to us.
Let ;Its keep our nerve and say
'Fe will smile anii.rsee it through.
Though it kills us, we are sure
That Is all that it can do.
.r
Every cloud is fitted with
Silver linings, we are told.
Maybe those that look so black
May be lined with solid gold.
Maybe what we thought was fate,
Reaching boldly for our .neek,
May be but a friendly hand
That is passing us a check.
If_ we will put on ourespecks
.And, improving, thus our view,
Read the future by the past
We will learn a thing or two.
We' will fend that troubles melt
When we boldly go to see
What in thunder they're about -
Vanish like the Dutchman's flea.
Troubles that are in advance
We may contemplate with scorn.
Like as not they will be dead
Several 'weeks before they're born.
If they should arrive alive '
And should venture to get gay
We can strike them for a loan -
Beat there to it, you might say.
Cheating Them.
"My little brother is •awful sick,"
said ,the small girl. "And we bad to
have the doctor at our house twice.'•'
"What's the matter with him?" ask.
ed the small boy.
"Cholera inftntum. I bet you never
had nothing like that."
"Huh! That's nothing for a kid to
have."
"'What's the matter with It?"
"He ought to have measles or some-
thing l4ke that, so the rest of souse
kids could stay out of school."
Her Reason:
"Is your wife a suf7'ragrettel"
"Yes."
"Is tbat'so? 1 didn't think that she
cared much about public questions."
"She doesn't."
"Then wby is she in favor of suf-
frage?"
`•She says that they are bound to
have a distinctive style of their own,
and she is prophet enough to know
they will be becoming to her."
Where it Is Thick.
"Who is going to own the air wben
the airships are perfected?"
"Some monopolists will claim it."
"But won't they have trouble mak-
ing surveys?"
"Yes, except in Chicago and Pitts-
burg."

j not give your lad
1 �� the same training?
"When I was a growing lad, and came
upon many words in my reading that
I did not understand, my mother, in-
stead of giving me the definition when
I applied to her, uniformly sent rae to
the dictionary to learn it, and in this
way I gradually learned many things
besides the meaning of the individual
word in question—among other things,
how to use a dictionary, and the great
pleasure and advantage there might
be in the use of the dictionary.
Afterwards, when I went to the village
school, my chief diversion, after les-
sons were learned and before they
were recited, was in turning over the
pages of the 'Unabridged' of those
days. Now the most modern Una-
bridged—theNEW LNTERNATIONAL-
gives me a pleasure of the same sort.
So far as my knowledge extends, it is
at present the best of the: one -volume
dictionaries, and quite suificient for
all ordinary uses. Even those who
possess the splendid dictionaries in
several volatiles will yet find it a great
convenience to have this, which is so
compact, so full, and so trustworthy i-
ns to leave, in most cases, little to be
desired."—Albert S. Cook. Ph.D.,

OTTAWA, Aug. 8.—In view of the(
large purchases made in Canada of
Anglo-French and other G'oyernment
bends issued in the United States and
tele serious effect which the continua
tion o(such purchases will have upon
the exchange situation between Can-
ada and ttie United States, it is now
regarded here as certain that at the
next session legislation willtbe intro-
duced imposing special income taxa-
tion upon all non-9anadian securities
held by Canadians.
The effect of such legislation,
which will be along lines somewhat
similar to that in force in Fingland,
and enacted for the same purpose,
will cause the liquidation of the se-
curities taxed. This specially T 1s liqui-
dation will tend to benefit the ex-
change situation and preserve the
Canadian market for purely Cana-
dian issues. There is abundance of
money in the United States to take
up all these securities, the proceeds
of whi'oh have been expended in the
United States.
