Military Service Act
Important Announcement to All .
TED MEN
and to the Public Generally
1`T dealing with the very large number, a� claims for exemption
brought forward for consideration .in connection with Class 1
under the Military Service Act;it has occurred, as was inevit-
able, that as a result of false sta ee'ments and difficulties put in the
way of investigation, song,, •individuals have secured exemption
whose proper place is in the Army.
It is not tate' intention of the Government to allow these men to evade per-
manently their obligation to bear their part in the military defence of the
Country and of the ideali for which we are fighting. To do so would defeat
the purpose of the Act, and cause grave injustice to men in the second class
necessarily called out to fill their places.
Exemptions Granted on Faise Grounds
It is, therefore, proposed to scrutinize carefully all exemptions granted to date
in order to separate those which have been granted on false or insufficient
grounds from these that are well founded,
With this object.'in view the various Registrars under the Military Service
Act have been Sistructed to issue a series of questionnaires to exempted men.
These questicainaires must be filled up correctly and returned promptly under
penalty of forfeiture of exemption for failure to do so.
E> empted Men Who Have Changed Address
It is theref•,re important in their own interest that all exempted men who
have changed their address since their exemption was granted and who have
not already notified the Registrar of such change should notify !aim at once.
'Under -the Regulations it is the duty of exempted men to keep the Registrar
advifkd of any change of address, and failure to receive the questionnaire
by -reason of neglect of this duty must be treated as equivalent to failure to
return the questionnaire after receipt.
Citizens Urged to Assist
In many instances information has been furnished by members of the public
"which has led to the cancellation of exemptions obtained by false or mis-
leading statements. Further co-operation of this character is jutted. The
Government regard it as the Duty of all loyal citizens, not only to the Country,
but to the men at the front, to assist in this way in securing reinforcements
on a just and legal basis. Correspondence of this character will be treated
as strictly confidential and will receive the fullest investigation.
CHARLES J. DOHERTY,
Minister of Justice.
Correspondence should be directed to W. E. Wismer, Esq., Deputy
Registrar under the Military Service Act, London, Ont. 402A

Service Stripes
Service stripes, a red one showing
six months' service in Prance with
the First Division, and a blue ane
for every subsequent six months of
service, have matte (heir appearance
among the troops now arriving home
The stripes are similar to the. U. S.
chevrons, and are worn on the right

Farm Service Costume..
A large cow -breakfast hat, grey flan-
nel smock, neatly belted in at the
waist, grey riding breeches, canvas
leggings and stout boots will be the
serviceable and smart costume which
the National Service girls will wear
ont the Ontario farms this summer. So
it was decided at a meeting held in
Toronto. The uniform is not compul-
sory, but it is the one winch the. ma-
jority of the girls have chosen to
adopt. Each gh9 will also wear on
her arm the honored National Service
badge, and, after two months' service,
will be the proud possessor of the
N. S. button,

pastoral on the subject of greater
production, which will be sent out to
all the clergy of the diocese, asking
them to endeavor to enlist. the mem-

pastoral is a tali to agricultural ser-

Major Hartt, recently reterned from
France and England, where the sys-
tem in summer months is a complete
success. The success of the scheme
would be considerably enhanced if
it were continental wide, and the
thlited States Government has al-
ready started to initiate the plan,

pressed. Among the suggestions
wereT—The desirability of drafting al
retired farmers and young men an
women of the towns and villages to
help on the farms; increased Spring
wheat growing. and Fall wheat as well;
closing stores and shops one or more
afternoons of each week so the pro•
prietor and employees may take a
hand in the coming harvest; fix prices
for hogs as well as wheat; work plots
and back yards in urban municipalities;
better municipal organization; optim-
ism and patriotism; canvassing farmers
is no good as many are now doing their
best; a serious situation exists and it is
up to us to do better; pressure will be
as great in 1919 as in 1918; seed wheat
is too high and government should see
that it comes down; give farmers the
same chance as munition makers; towns
could aid fruit culture by an organized
spraying outfit; Agricultural Societies
should enthuse their patrons by
special prizes in growing specified
crops; improve tillage rather than in-
crease acreage; municipal .tractors. The
dominant note of all was willingness
to do his bit.
Council then adjourned for dinner.

tions were passed unanimously:—

(by Nicol Moffat)
A Huron boy is making good as the
new leader of the Opposition in the
Ontario Legislature. The next step
will be the Premiership. How long or
how short that period of time may be
is not of first consequence. The im-
portant thing is: William Proudfoot will
merit the honor when it comes. It will
I be so, because he was well-born and
trained in a stirring political camp,
Thirty-five years ago might be
called the Golden Age of Liberalism in
Huron 'County, It was the days of the
I old knights whose names still kindle
d the fires of pride whenever mentioned.
Great and mighty were the victories,
because one seat alone out of six with
stood their assaults. Bast Huron was
kept in the Conservative column,
Thomas Farrow, who went regularly to
support the national policy, in Ottawa,
lived as it were, on the edge of a pre-
cipice. A little bad luck at any time
would easily have shoved him of. But
he weathered all storms and resisted
all attacks.
To begin with, Malcolm Colin
Cameron had a seat in the Dominion
Parliament for West Huron, In his
palmy days his name, like that of
Black Douglas, used to strike terror
around the Tory firesides. Ile was a
, leader among the Reform insurgents
who stormed the proud domains of Sir
John A. Macdonald. His speeches,
therefore, were carefully preserved by
his constituents for controversial bat-
tle They were loaded to kill any kind
of Tory at 300 ,yards.
His mate in the Ontario liouse was
Hon, Alexander McLagan Ross, Pro-
vincial Treasuree, also from the
, proud, old town of Goderich. "Hon
est A. M." was the way the Reformers
used to think of their representative,
whom Mowat entrusted with the keys
of ifs flourishing Treasury, Truth to
tell, the honorable A. NI. was just as
honorablehe
looked. as o Unlike k Cam-
eron, C t
eron, he was not eloquent He did not
require it, because in- figuring out an
annual surplus each one of his hearers
took it to be the same thing as if it
were their own money in the bank.
Good cash surpluses were taken in lieu
for golden oratory.
They of course carried the standard,
though underneath were a host of not-
able men. There was John McMillan
from South Huron, who hated the N, P.
as a poor sailor does the mal de mer.
His mate, who stood solidly behind Sir
Oliver Mowat for a generation, was
another good yeoman, Archie Bishop.
Then up north in Wroxeter was the
native heath of Thomas Gibson, who
represented the East riding. ' Honest
again is the word, for everybody called
thin "Honest Tone," When he came
back every four years for re-election it
was simply "veni, vidi, yid" How else
could it be, when he left the impres-
sion that the only dispensation for
Scotch Presbyterians from keeping the
Sabbath was the liberty to discuss the
merits of the Mowat Government on
that day.
