There are visions --now and then --in busi-
ness and industry.
'fhe Maxwell motor car is a wonderful
vision that has been made real.
The fixed purpose of the Maxwell builders
was in the beginning, and is now, to produce a
car {rhich would be, in the highest sense, cal..
eject, durable, economical, comfortable and
standard in equipment.
Many\years experience in production on a
vast scale has taught the Maxwell manufac-
turers two things.
One is that such a car as they have always
made their situ --a car in which efficiency,
durability, economy, comfort, beauty and stand-
ard equipment are all present—cannot bo hitt
for leas than $1045 with materials at their
present prices.
The other lesson is that, for more than
$1045, they could not ere you anything more
than the Maxwell new has..-wxcept greater• size
or luxuries, pure and simple.
In other worth they are convinced—and
they have convinced us --lust they have found
the great MIDDLE LINE where you get dollar
for dollar in ABSOLUTE VALUE.

I had light duty and it was certain-
ly a good camp where. We lived in
large huts and eaclj person in the
camp could have, a garden, just a lit-

a good distraction, In one of tete

If ybu sot aside a few choice roots

seed, at least sufficient for your
needs, you will save yourself a num-
ber of disappointments in 3,019 ani
future years, All signs point to a
serious root seed shortage; a shortage
that- can only he remedied by the
growing of these seeds on the home
farm. Select two dozen smooth well
shaped matigels, turnips or carrots
of your own favorite variety. Put
these carefully away in cellar or pit
to await the coming of spring. In
April when the soil is in condition to
plow, bring the stock seed roots out
of storage and set them in position
that they ,ntayr produce a seed crop.
In soil well prepared by plowing or
cultivating, plow a deep furrow or
dig holes sufficiently deep to plant
the seed root, so that the crown

vate the soil about' these plants as

seed bearing stalks will appear very
soon after tate roots are set ; these
will continue to develop during the
season and in July will blossom and
set seed,. Tho ripening process will
continue through August and in Sep-
tember the seed will be ripened anfl

Why . does Canada Raise Money
by Selling Bonds ?
BONDS are issued payable in ten or twenty years, as the case may be.
It means that repayment of the money will be spread over ten or twenty
years instead of being raised by taxation to meet current expenditures.
To raise by taxation all the, money as fast as it is needed to carry -on
Canada's share in winning the War, would be an unbearable burden upon
the people.
It would mean that more than a million dollars a day would have to bo
raised right now.'
But to raise money by selling Canada's
Victory Bonds means that those of the
next generation who will benefit by the
sacrifices this generation is making;
-rv110 will share in the freedom this
generation is fighting for and largely paying
for—will also pay their share.
And when you buy Canada's Victory
Bonds you make a first-class business in-
vestment in a security that is absolutely
safe, likely to enhance in value after the
war, and bearing a good rate of interest)
You help the country by keeping open
the British market' for Canadian products
and this helps the general welfare in which
you share.
* *
And again, every Canadian who buns
a Victory Bond becomes a financial partner
or backer of Canada in the war.
When you, buy a Canada Victory Bonk
you give a personal pledge that yotl are
going to help to win the war.
Every elan and woman in Canada can
help to win the war by buying Canada' 1
Victory Bonds. And Canada wants the
personal, individual interest and co-opera-
tion of every inan " and woman in the
country.
The buying of Victory Bonds by the
whole people unites then in a determination
to win the war.
Every purchase of Canad.a's Victory
Bonds is a blow for freedom against the
tyranny of German Kultur. •
Every bond sold is a new guarantee
that Canada is in the war to the finish,
until victory is with the Allies and the
world has been made safe to live in.
Every bond you buy is a new pledge
that Canada will remain true to herself, the
Zmpire, the Allies and to freedom's cause.
o it is both patriotic and good bui-
ness to
Buy Canada's Victory .Bonds
