Decry good citizen of Canada 'is supposed to buy Victory Bonds this week and next to the very limit of capacity. And when the limit is reached he can learn a way of buying on the instahnent plan, paying o)4 from month to month as time goes by. This is a good way to learn to save and almost anyone who is earn- ing money at all can buy at least a baby bond. The loan is needed for the carrying on of Canada's business; it will all be Spent in the Dominion and it is a patriotic duty to subscribe as heavily as possible. But besides all that it is a fine in- vestment and anyone having funds to invest cannot do better than to buy Vietery Bonds, The security is of the highest, the interest is good, five per cent., and payable half yearly. Morevnr,thts is probably the. last opportunity of buying these bonds. Don't miss it; buy till you're broke; then borrow and buy some more. , BOUGHT ANOTHER FARM Some little time ago Mr. Ralph Stephenson of the Parr Line, Stanley, decided that he would Ieave•hisfarm to his son and he came into Clinton and bought die residence of Mi. Ralph Tiplady on Rattenbury street. The more he drought over the matt ter, however, the more convinced Mr. Stephenson became that he wasn't just ready to sit down and twirl his thumbs for the rsmainder of his life. He had the idea, too, that the farm was a very good place to stay and - when in town en Saturday he inform- ed the News -Record that he had pur- chased the fifty -acre farm next to him on the ParrLine. He says it is a fine bit of land and looks for- ward to both pleasure and profit in the working of it. "You're too youngea man to retire, anyway." The News -Record remarked. "That's what my friends tell me," was the reply. "And, do you know, I feel ten years younger since I bought that other farm." As a consequence Mr. Stephenson's town house is now for sale but it should not be hard to dispose of it. AMONG THE CHURCHES ST.

When about three miles out the engine stopped and as the wind rose and the sea became rough they were compelled to drift about with the wind all night. They had no way of telling which way they were going but whezz morning dawned they sighted land in the distance and having one small oar they paddled for the shorn, reaching it about two o'clock in the afternoon. Pulling their boat up on the beach they made for the nearestfarm house, which proved to be that of Mr. McGregor, twenty miles north of Goderich.
