the changes and tin mh ion that the war has caused and especially have business circles bad to be alive to meet the changed conditions of the time on of tb m iiueiest of these ie the adoption of a cash and no credit system in which many bnei- firms are beginning to figure time not u treat while back when there was very lutle cseh and it was almost all credit hot experience has shown the silinrss of the system the extra book keeping that bad to be adopted the loss in tmd accounts and tbe extra ontlay to each business in carrying along at the bank many a business man wonld have been saved frtman early financial grave bad he liet n raved the worries incidental to a butintas not carried on a cash basis tbe queiftinn will of course be asked doea the cah system suit every botineesthb only answer to that is a trial if a motor car company whose dealings are in large sums can ran on a cash bull and find it profitable to dp so smaller businesses ought to be able to do so and there is no denying tbe fact that business men would be happier they could even sell cheaper and the pnrcnasers would theneelvea be less worried over unpaid bills for things that often coold be done withont if

granting the man exemption until he ceases to be employed in agricultural labor mr justice duff said the military service act does not deal with the subject of the exemption of persons engaged in the agri cultural industry and the question which it is my duty to decide is whether the applicant being and having been as above mentioned habitually and effectively en gaged in agriculture and in labor essential to the carry ing on of agricultural production ought to be exempted under the provisions of the military service act these two propositions are indisputable 1 in order that the military power of the allies may be adequately sustained it is essential that in this country and under the present conditions there isnould be no diminution in agricultural production 2 the supply of competent labor available for the purpose of agricultural production is not abundant but actually is- deficient the proper conclusion appears to be that the ap plicant a competent person who had been habitually and effectively engaged in labor essential to such pro duction ought not to be withdrawn from it it is perhaps unnecessary to say that such exemp tions are not granted as concessions on account of per sonal hardship still less as a favor to a class the sole ground of them is that the national interest is the better nerved by keeping these- men at home the supreme necessity upon the existence of which as its preamble shows this policy of the military service act is found ed that leads the state to take men by compulsion and put them in the fighting line requires that men shall be kept at home who are engaged in work essential to en able the state to maintain the full efficiency of the com batant forces and whose places cannot be taken by others not within the class called out
