Ottawa, April 1o. -By the end of
the, present fiscal year the war will
have cost the Dominion Government
one and a half billion dollars. This
does not, of course, include huge suns
raised by the Canadian people and the
provincial governments for the Patriot-
ic fund and Red Cross for,
nor does it take into account the
greatest contribution Canada made in

Details' of the war expenditures of
the Federal Government were given.
in the Mouse of Commons this after-
noon by the minister of. finance, Sir
Thomas White. The total expendi-
ture for each year since the outbreak
of hostilities was as follows:
1914-15 ,.,60,750,476' 01
1915-16 166,197,755, .47
1916-17 306,488,5!14 63

1918-19 347,824,274 27
1919-20 296,696,614 00
Sir Thomas said that when the
figures for 1918-19 were complete the
total for that year would be approx-
imately $400,000,000. The grand
total, therefore; for the six years, or
up to'the end of next March, will ex-
ceed $1,573,940,462.
Money For Overseas
He explained that the overseas
minister of militia has asked for
$45,000,0.00 to cover an increase in
the allowance to the British govern-
ment on
overn-menton account .of rations, ammuni-
tion, forage, etc., furnished to the
Canadhin forces in ithe field. Arbi-
tration proceedings were now in pro-
gress to continue the amount, and
Major Sutherland, the Canadian an-
-ditor-general was on his way to Eng-
land fn tri, connection.
Sir. Thomas: said the estimated war
expenditure for 1919-20 was $296-
000,000 of which $275,000,000 was
for militia and defence, and $21,000,-
000 for other' -,departments, Of the
$275,000,000 for militis and defence,
$91,000,000 would be spent overseas,
and $134,000,000 in Canada. War
Service gratuities will absorb $92,000,
000 transport in Canada $17,000,000,
and transport •overseas $6,500,000,
while 561,000,000 is for maintenance
of troops overseas and $3,000,000 for
the transport of soldiers and their de-
Ipendents
Another Domestic Loan
The finance minister said there
was still 520n00,000 in the treas-
ury, but added that it might be
necessary to raise another domestic
loan in Canada later in the year, as
credits would ,have to be established
for countries to which Canada de-
sired to sell her products, Ile said
credits of $25,000,000 each had nl-
readybeen 'arranged for l3e1g)al11,
Roumania and Greece, 1'1e defended'
this policy and incidentally Men-
tioned that Canada ilad arranged cre-
dits for something like $500,000,000
during the past few years in order
that she might dispose of her products,
These credits were as follows;
Gil account of hay and oats? etc,,
$15,000,000; cereal crop, $65,000,-
000;: dairy produce, $38,000,000;
foodstuffs, $17,00,.000; munitions
board,' $315,000,00; ' shipbuilding,
$2,000,000; railways and canals, $4,-
000,000; Royal Air force, $i,800,-
000; salmon pack, $8,000,00; Wel-
ber, $50,000,000.
The resolution providing for a war
appropriation of $350,000,000 fob this
Year was then passed.

THE $ IN YOUR TOWN
Just a dollar on a mission' sent, stakes
a- lot of people glad ' each time the
coin is 'spent, You pay it to the
butcher for the heat to give you
strength; he takes it to the grocer
from whence it goes at length for some
pretty lace or cloth his better half 40
buy, or help to get h,er winter hat to
make her rival sigh. The dry goods
man sent on the coin to pay he
market bill, and though the coil; is
often spent it, stays a dollar still and
every time 'tis spent at .horse, some
act of good is done, in booming local
industries it's bound to make them
run. But if you take the shining coni

chances are that from afar 'twill not

the grocer and tine dry goods . man

lose the chance to touch the coin ere'
the setting of the sun. Just keep the
coin at home, just keep it moving well,
and every time it changes hands some
body's goods 'twill sell. That single
little dollar has thus a wondrous power

an hour. It pays the bill and wards off
ill. and ne'er the power relaxes to.

Brantford Asphalt Slates
hang+ some roof that
efies the weather
An added touch of beauty to any house is a roof of
Brantford Asphalt Slates, which are in soft, harmonious
shades of reddish brown and dark green. The colors
are permanent and unfadeable, being the natural shades
of the slate just, as it is taken out of the quarries.
It will also prove a very economical roof, 'because Brantford
Asphalt Slates do not split, get loose, absorb water or rot. They
are strongly fire-resistant and are classified as non-combustible by the
fire insurance companies, and allowed to be used in cities where the
most rigid fire -prevention By-laws are aft force.
Brantford Asphalt Slates are very moderate in cost. The regu-
lar size of the slates and their pliability make them easily and. quickly
laid, thus saving time and .cost of labor. Being made of high grade
felt saturated and coated with asphalt, and with a surface of crushed
slate, they make a roof that defies the elements and is a permanent
part of the building, just like the walls and the foundation.
Brantford
Asphalt Slates
are being used more extensively every year for city, country and
Summer homes, churches, golf clubs, stores, garages, and wherever
an artistic effect is, desired on a pitch roof.
Ir you are' going to do any building this year or have an old
roof that deeds replacing, it vvill be to your advantage to investi.

'WEATHER PROPHETS
It is said that March usually comes
in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.
Here are a few hints that will help you
to judge the state of the weather, so
that this changeable month will not
be able to steal a march on you".
A red sky at sunset will mean "fine
weather to -morrow."
A red sky in the morning will mean
, "wind or rain." •
A yellow sky In the evening will also
mean "rain to -morrow:"
If the sun appears through a misty'
haze in the morning it means "the day
will be warm." '
1f it is cloudy in the morning, but
the clouds begin to break' it means
"the day will be fair."..
When the stars are very bright and
twtnb hie more ;than usual nit means
"rain in the morning."
If your cat rubs himself behind his
ears more than iS 1113 custom, or is
restless and ties, with his back to t'ie
fire you can usually tell that bad
weather is coming.
. With these hints in mind you should ,
be little weather prophets and should
never be able to catch you unawares.
