Dn a an IN WESTERN CANADA, ted All the Farmers Are Planning For Autos. . A most alluring "future for auto- mobiles in Canada is predicted by F. J. Sleght, general manager of the Willys-Overland, Ltd., of yWest To- ronto, who has just,compléfed an ex- tensive trip through the western por- tion of the Dominion. Mr.- Sleght was investigating the possibilities of Overland and Willys-Knight business in that territory and studying busi- ness conditions generally. He me- turned to Toronto full of enthusiasm. Mr. Sleght had a busy time of it throughout his whole trip, consulting with dealers, attending dinners given in his honor and taking side trips throughout the farming country, He expressed himself amazed at the pro- gress which has been made in that new country during the last few years, "I like the western people very much," said Mr, Sieght upon his ar- rival home, No class of people in the world can surpass them for courtesy and geniality. As as a whole, they are a most progressive lot, Their cities, like their farms, are laid out on a broad scale. Where there was nothing but vacant prairie a few years ago we now find splendid barns and substantial dwelling houses. '""Now that the people have culti- vated and improved.their land they are devoting their attention to some of the other important things of life. Take automobiles, for example, every farmer who hasn't a car is planning to own one before many months, They figure that the car is a necessity on the farm because of its remarkable time saving conveniences." When asked if he might not be danger of the automo- bile business developing too rapidly and wearing itself out in its com- parative infancy, Mr. Sleght replied: "There ean't be too many automo- biles when everyone who has to walk or ride is planning to own one. That is® just the conditions which exists out west in both the cities and the farming country. Look at the de- mand for the Overland 'model 75B in that territory. What westerner has been wanting for a long time is a small, but powerful, car which would sell at a moderate price. 'T was amazed at the number of our light 76B Overlands out there. They are as common as the horse on most of thé country roads. don't think for a minute that those shrewd westerners buy thém simply because their price is low. On the contrary, they have to see the value before thew dowm their cash. There are other cars cheaper than our 75B, but they haven't the power and the westerner, wil wants a real automobile that will go or nothing at alk* = greatest happiness is to be found in poverty, remind him of what Da- vid said in his haste. e ocean of life is filled 'with breakers; that's why so many men £0 brolte, " : Gold is said to be so malleable that it can be beaten as thin as the ham in a railway sandwich.

Since then many million dollars have been contributed to the Belgian Relief Fund, chiefly in the sBritish Empire and the United States, about half of it coming from Belgians living in these countries, The wonderfully efficient Relief Com- mittee have spent this ihoney fo carefull that an average of $2.50 has fed eac dependent Belgian family amonth. Thus the nation has been saved alive--so far. But only so far! The number of Belgians dependent on the Fund is steadily growing as their little hoards of food and maogey run out. Help is needed now more that ever before--and will be till the Ay Germans are driven out. 1 f it is not supplied, all that has been done cannot save the country from wholesale star- vation for two weeks !
