More than that; those who are wil ling to work are given employment .@s carpenters, marons, laborers, etc. and paid by the Canadian govern- ment at very reasonable wages. The old fort which has shed the rains and winds since 1830, begins to show punctures in the wooden rafters and dry-rot in the window sashes; there- fore new rafters and new sashes are Necessary. Then, too, the govern- ment anticipates a few hundred more guests and fresh rooms have to be prepared. There is a suggestion in official quarters that the Canadian forts be employed for herding Ger- man and Austrian prisoners from scenes of conflict, and this may eas- ily be carried into effect. But there are a good many of the Fort Henry population too surprised or too mulish to do day labor, and to impress upon Buch persons, the never-ending magnanimity of the British people in time of war, they are allowed to devote their prison hours to amusement.

In this 3 r the young Woolwich graduate, Lhe fleld-mars ,of to-day, secured permission to accompany as a guest the officers of one of the regiments on active service, and to thus take part in the campaign.

Every Canadian thereby sent sixty-seven dollars of Canadian money to enrich some other country; to keep foreign workmen employed. It does not séem so much, but it makes the gigantic total of $875,428,168. The value of all goods " Made in Canada" is less than double this. Of these imports 657 come from tke United States, yet by every condition of nature we are just as well equipped to manufacture many of these goods as our neighbour--and we de. If only 25% of this 675 million dollars' worth of goods were pro- duced in Canada, that production weuld give employment to 62,500 workmen, sufficient with their families and dependents to support 250,« 000 people, to populate a city larger than Winnipeg, or to create 16 cities the size of Guelph, Moncton, Brandon, or New Westminster. By purchasing only goods "Made in Canada" you can help to keep a good share of this 6756 million dollars at home, you can bring about a. greater prosperity than Canada has ever known.
