The Price of Liberty ^^^ The price in stalwart young manhood which the French natien has paid during the world war to preserve human liberties baa exceeded that of herasso ciate Allies. While France has not made an oflioial announcement as to her losses, it ia estimated that one million eight hundred thousand French patrints have laid down their lives on the altar of their country's freedom ; una million gave limb, aight or health, and were thus rendered perman- ently incapacitated for their accustomed pursuits of peace ; one milliou two hund- red thousand others sustained injuries which have retarted their activities. What if America had suti'ered such losses ill propoition to her population I Every man between tha ages of 21 and 30 who registered for militaiy service in tha United States on June 5, 1917â€" mora than nine and a half million in number â€" would be a casualty today, and there would still be a million and a half men to be added from the registration lists of September 12, 1918. Mothers, fathers, wives, brolkerg, sisters, and sweethearts would be miurning for Hve million American dead. _^ For every ten men, women, and child- ren in France at the outbreak of the war one able bcdied uiti/.en in the prime of manhood has either laid down his life or suffered boaily injury. The casualtiag in no other army, save the Serbian, even approached such sweeping percentages. Truly, the sons of France gaye them- selves without stint fir the cause of world democracy. i i^i Ladies' Coat Special For the month of January we are making a special clearance of LADIES' COATS.

HICKLING FLESHERTON, ONTARIO V V " w « â-  .â- (-, v.jiwio>«f!i« 'iw" m ' •^•.•ig»B\wia« For the past four years The Advance has been working against heavy odds with the all round increase of everything that goes to make up a paper and living in general. Notwithstanding this ereat loss we have consistently set our face agtkinst raising the price of the paper to our subscribers, and it still remains at one dollar p3r a-inuin, but unless a lower j trend in prices comes within a reasonable cime the price will have to go up. In the meantime we have decided to place a premium for prompt paying subscribers â€" who_aie many â€" by placing an additional bfty cents on all who allow their sub- scriptions to run six months or over. Hereafter all subscriptions six mouths or more overdue will be charged at SI. 50 per annum. This leaves everybody ihe chance to get in on the dollar rate. A number of subscribers thia se.ison have paid two and three years in advance which is good policy, as it ensures Ihi'm the dollar rate for thtt length of time. Remember, The Advance is one dollar per annum or one dollar and fifty cents if not paid within six months.
