CHIS YEAR, hundreds of thousands of Canadians will
risk their ALL for victory.
This is "attack" year. Trained and ready for the sacrifice,
our fighting men will pull no punches. How about YOU?
These men going into battle DEMAND nothing of you. But they know
how much depends upon those dollars you earned in jobs that have no
risks like theirs.
Are you going to pull YOUR punches—NOW?
Maybe you've bought Victory Bonds till it hurt. in preparation for the
attack. You did a good job there._ But attack is still more costly than
preparation.
MORE Canadians buying MORE Victory Bonds that is the price
asked of those at home for the drive to victory in this year of attack.
When so many LIVES are being dedicated to victory, are you preparing
to dedicate your DOLLARS to the same end?

When the Present Century
Was Young
THE CLINTON NEWS RECORD
APRIL 16th, 1903
Mr. C. J. Wallis returned on Sat-
urday last from a five week's busi-
ness trip to the Northwest. , While
away he disposed of three carloads of
horses and the result was so satisfac-
tory that he starts back again today
with another carload.'The competition
among the horse -dealers in. the North-
west is very keen and it has required
a shrewd head this season to pull out
even. The ranches of Alberta •and
Montana have been heavily drawn
upon and are now advancing prices
somewhat, The Northwest, says Mr,
Wallis is decidedly booming. At Wey-
burne, Assa., where he spent the most
of his time, between eight and nihety
carloads of settlers effects arrived
the first Week in April, Mr John Mc-
Murray and family formerly of Clin-
ton, are located about three miles
from Weyburn and doing web. '
Mr. 011ie Courtice, who has been
in ,the employ of Jackson Bros., and
the Jackson Mfg., Company for two
or three years, has resigned his posi-
tion to go to the Northwest, with the
expectation that the ehange will bene -
of his health. On Tuesday 'the fellow
employees of the factory presented
him with a gold watch suitably inscri-
bed. The same evening a party was
given in his honor at Mr. W. Coll-
yer's home.
Mr. William Graham, who for over
Captain H. B. Combe, who has for
a number of years been a 'prominent
figure in Clinton business circles,
has at last found time to, devote to
that more responsible phase' of life—
matrimony. A number of his gentle
men friends assembled in the club
rooms last Monday evening to assure
himof their best wishes for his hap-
piness in double harness. A very plea-
sant time was spent in which speech
and song were prominent, but the fea-
ture of the evening was the presen-
tation to Captain Combe ofa hand -
'some easy chair, elegantly upholster-
ed in leather. The present€iticn was
made by Captain Shaw in a neat
speech and was fittingly replied to
by the guest of the evening. The
ranks of the "07d Guards" bachelors
are rapidly thinningand have been ma
terially weakened by the Captain's de-
sertion.
Mr, and' Mrs. J. W. Treleaven of
Alrnonte were in town for the holi-
days. Mr, Treleaven visited his hone
in Luoknow on Monday and left for
Toronto on Tuesday to attend the
meeting of the Educational Associa-
tion. Mrs Treleaven went to. Toron-
to yesterday accompanied by her bro-
ther, Mr. • B. J. Gibbings.
Messrs George. East and George
Rands, who, went to Stratford to take
employment have 'returned home.
Mr, John Kennedy of Detroit was
the guest of his parents,- Mr. and
Mrs. D. B. Kennedy, Easter Sunday.
Mr. James Atkinson, who was in
charge of the furniture business •of'
Bowe & Holloway, but is now engaged
.tri • the same line of business in Exeter
on his own account, moved his family
ton, having taken up his abode with His "way of life" for all mankind—
his sister, Miss Beacom. Who raised the dead, healed the sick
and blind
Full soon our youth will free th' op-
pressed;
Bring happiness to souls distressed,
Though we, like Mary, yield to die
Our sons . . . a world to purify!
And we, like sacred history.
Know Calvary, ere victory!

Mi. Glenn Fair of the staff of the
Gordon & McKay Company, Toronto,

Mr. John Mennel of the staff of

Friday to Monday at his home in
town.
Mr, W. S. Lawrence returned last
week from Ottawa and is making pre-
parations to move his family to the
capital. •

CALVARY
Two thousand years swift rolled away
Since Jesus died that fearful day;
Betrayed by Judas; Pilate tried;
Scourged by soldiers; crucified!
Crucified upon the tree.
That Men might live. Yes—you and
me!
Are all Christ's lessons come to
naught:
The "brotherhood of man," He taught;
The selfless "Good Samaritan";
The "True Vine and the Husband-
man"?
Oh, ministry of love and grace;
Though cruelly slain, His .shining face
Was lifted up with prayer unto.
His God, "They know not what they
do,
"Forgive them Lord" , .
. They thought Slim dead.
Who for mankind had suffered bled,
His was that day the victory
O'er sin and hell
. .Gethsemane,
For us at war our Garden now;,
Within its 'shadows may be bow
Our hearts in prayer --even as He—
"Deliver us from Calvary.' '
If bitter cup may not away
Let us, like Jesus, humbly say:
&SONG FOR EASTER
If this bright lily
Can live once more,
And its white promise
Be as before,
Why cannot the great stone
Bi moved from His door?
Sears.
Ascend• the shake.
Year after year,
And blossoms break
Again and again.
For April's sake,
Why cannot He,.
From the dark and mould
Show us again.
His manifold
And gleaming glory,
A stream of gold?
Paint heart, be sure
These things inust be,
See the new bud
On the old tree?'
If flowers can wake.
Oh, why not He? '
