GORDON WESLEY HOOD KILLED IN ACTION, AUGUST 27, 1018 Words do not express the sympathy felt for the bereaved families. Mr. Henry Dogbt, and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hood haye received a great many ex-. pressions of sympathy, but there the comfort ends-- now the loved one is gone and the hignour of heroism is swallowed up in the grief of bereavement. The body may:lie molding in the grave, but the soul goes marching on. What we need to learn in this matter-of-fact town is that the he.oic qualities are not 'dead in our citizens. "The occasion will stir them to life. Manliness -and "high courage have ne boundaries. "They are all about us,'and grow with opportunity for expression. + For us there are none so noble-as our own people. Their love, and courage, and faithfulness are our protection, and Spread 'comfort and happiness, about us; and so Port Perry--the town of homes - mourns for the four sons who have given their all for the freedom of mankind. And 10 our mourning we share the! burden of those who feel the sacrifice most keenly. LIEUT. ARTHUR B.

About Coal and Coal Prices The allotment of anthracite coal for Port Perry from April 1st, 1918 to March 31st, 1919, is 2780 net tons. This will develop a shortage of about 1000 tons here, The Fuel Controller advises that this shortage be covered by using oil, wood, 'and cannel coal, and that no person burn or consume anthra- cite coal before November lst. "Those who do may-find that they can- not replace it in February and March next. Curb delivery and overhead charges added theretoto shall be the carrying, Cash on any' current price. Any additional labor, such as shovelling back, etc., to be charged extra, as the profiis limited to 50c¢ per ton. settlements to ber made on delivery. Interest, exchange, etc, other settlement. I Have a quantity of cannc| coal arriving and a promise of 1000 tons of anthracite to arrive which will be equally distributed to all order- ing it who are entitled thereto, with no favors to any person. C. Li VICKERY. Save Gasoline and Hasten Victory The Fuel Controller appeals to th: public to discontinue the use _of motor driven vehicles on Sundays, excépt in cases of necessity. This is not an order as yet, but a request. You will note the dis- tinction and the possibility. Here is a chance to save both money and gasoline. The gasoline is needed for war purposes. Will you help? . A little pleasure is all that you will deny yourself. You. cannot afford personal enjoyment before the country's necessity. Canada will save $150,000 next Sunday if pledsure motoring is cut out. And even that big sum seems like a conservative estimate when one considers the immense number of autos there aie in the country. In Hamilton the doctors have had green crosses painted on theit autos to show that their errands are those of necessity. Join the army of those who on Saturday night will lock. the car in the garage and leave it there until Monday morning, Save Gasoline! Savd Money! Hasten Victory! The Mail Order Catalogue It is said that the mail order catalogue is studied more religiously than the Bible. But to what purpose? It has always been true that those who traded steadily with the home merchant were better off than those who make a practice of sending their cash to the departmental store in the city, and buying gohds on credit with the local merchant. Not all who trade with the city stores do this. Many persons pay cash both at home and abroad. But there are enough who do the cily cash and home credit business to make it harder for the local merchant to give the service he would like to give. To-day the ever increasing expenses of the city store have compel- led big advance in catalogue prices, and in many instances those who buy in the city are losing money, and forego the advantage of personal inspection' of goods before buying. : The public are not altogether to blame for this gondition of affairs. Many merchants take it for granted that the public know all about what they have in stock, when in point of fact the people know little cr noth- ing about the stock because they are never told. Departmental stores find that it pays to spénd on an average about "two dollars & year on each mail order customer in catalogues alone, and 'they spend in addition to that a great many thousands of dollars in newspaper and other advertising. Yet some merchants never spend any money in advertising. It is a mistake to suppose that it is necessary to be eternally adver- tising "bargains." The people want to know where to buy the goods they need, and the merchant who gives this information most attractively will generally get the business. Vl : £ The W. T. Reader Barn.
