Gain or

AgODERN war is made by resources, by money, by foodstuffs, as
well as by men and by munitions. While war is our first busi-
ness, it is the imperative duty of every man in Canada to produce all
that he can, to work doubly hard while our soldiers are in the trenches,
in order that the resources of the country may not only be conserved, but
increased, for the great struggle that lies before us. ` Wor•'k and Save'
is a good motto for War-time."—,SIR THOMAS IPIIITL', 211lnister
