A DEFENCE OF SUNBURY. Correspondent Says Kingston Can- not Beat It At Corn Raising. Sunbury, Oct. 9--Farmers have commenced plowing, as recent rains have softened the soil. The concert given in the hall on Friday evening last under the auspices of the Method- ist Ladies' Aid was, on account of the inclement evening, not largely attend- ed. .The Gananoque contingent who were to give the programme came through. and the coricert went on and a fine evening was spent. The "Man on Watch" is seemingly trying to joke with the writer of the Sunbury notes. Two weeks ago when { mentioned that hogs were selling at a fair price (seventeen cents being paid), he says, "Wouldnt that make you faint, with hogs selling at eighteen cents?" a cent above the price paid here, and if eighteen cents had been paid your correspondent's item would hdve read differently. And again in last week's notes concerning corn and potatoes, he says that the city people have beaten the ruralists all hollow. How- ever, I might just say that if you want to see a short crop of corn take a drive around the city suburbs. Tak- ing all things into consideration, Sun- bury can take its stand with any lo- cality, the city not excepted. J. McBride, wife and family, Elgin-| burg, will locate in the village this counsel and T. J. Rigney represented for the plan is that it would week.

At a meeting of the W.C.T.U. on Tuesday afternoon a report from members who had visited the mid- {way at the Kiagzton industrial fair | recently was received. The ladies expressed their disapproval, and a strong resolution was ordered to be sent to the president of the fair drawing his attention to the fact. A resolution was also ordered sent to Food Controller Hanna, ask- ing that all grains as well as wheat be conserved, as the cbnservations |of food in households is hindered !while the Government allows so { much waste. { A cheque of $50 was received by {a member of the Union to be used | in purchasing comforts for the sol. {diers at the front.

Among those in attendance at Queen's University in the faculty of |arts are two soldiers who have borne their share of service at the front. They are Capt. George Coward and Flight-Lieut, . A. Coon. Both were members of Arts 'l8 when the war broke out, and shortly afterwards made their plans to do their "bit." The former secured his commission as a subaltern in the 80th Battalion, with which he went overseas. le was later transferred to another bat- talion on the firing line, where his ca- pacity earned him the rank of cap- tain. Last April he was wounded in the hip at the battle of Vimy Ridge. He was incapacitated and returnec home, and is now pursuing his studies at Queen's University. Lieut. Coon was first with the 109th Battalion of Lindsay, and trained for some time at Barriefield Camp. Later he transferred to the R. N. A. S., and trained at Toronto. While in service overseas his heart was af- fected through flying at great heights and he was invalided home. KENNETH PRATT GUILTY Seventeen Year Old Youth Appeared Before Judge Lavell. Kenneth Pratt a seventeen year old lad of very vicious. character, appeared before Judge Lavell on two charges of attempted indecent as- sault. His victims were well known in the neighborhood of the Collegiate Institute, where both offenses occurred. The first took | place in August, but James Cruse, | who rescued the children was unable to cateh Pratt, who ran away. On September 27th, Mr. Cruse was in nversation with 'W, J. Arnlel at the 'and Earl streets when Pratt was no- | ticed coming along. He was caught | in a vacant lot near the corner and taken to the police station. Judge Lavell remanded the prisoner until Thursday for sentence. Pratt was | found guilty after hearing of dence on Wednesday morning. J. L. Whiting, K. C., was prosecuting | the prisoner.

Drastic Measure to Help Wipe Out Nation's War Debts When Peace Comes--State Will Take Interest in Industries. London, Oct. 10.-- England has another shock in store for that sec. --~-- = tion of America which hates to see wealth do its bit. England is pre- paring to conscript capital literally. There has been a great deal of talk about conscription of wealth in connection with the war, but it has meant only high income taxes, ex- cess profits taxes and levies of that sort. The British Government to-day has practically decided to take the next step and levy directly on capi tal. Barring a change of opinion in the meantime on the part of those responsible for the British financial policy, such a levy will be made soon after the war ends. This, possibly the most radical financial inovation that has result. ed from the war, is due to the con- vietion tifat it is, if not the only way out, at least the best way out, from under the terrific financial burden the war will leave the Empire. At the end of the war Great Bil tain will face the necessity of pro. lars or more annual revenue. It will cost half that to meet the running expenses of the Government and the greater part of the other half to meet the interest on war loans: The estimate for pensions is now a quar- ter of a 'billion dollars a year. If the present revenue of the Gov- ernment could continue after the war--and the war ended now--it {would meet the expenses outlined. | Last year close to three billion dol- {lars was raised by taxation. But seven hundred million of that was {raised by the excess profits tax {which expires with the war. Other | large additions were from taxes not l expected to produce in the same I ratio after the war. It is roughly | figured that taxation can produce 1$1,750,000,000 after the war, when .'$2,600,000,000 will be needed. A levy on_capital will do it, in the opinion of Government officials. They estimate capital in private ownership has increased in Great Britain from §80,000,000,000 to 1$100,000,000,600 since the war be- gan. One plan is for a levy of 10 per cent. of this~--wiping out half the war debt. The strongest argument not | actually diminish the nation's capil. | tal, according to its propomenfs. It would simply transfer ownership of {part of it to_ the State. The State would become a partner in indus- From the #tandpoint of the social reorganization, which the Govern- ment is agreed is coming after the war, one conservative official said: "Nothing would go farther to re. move the danger of discontent."

WINDSOR MAN HAS GAINED 20 POUNDS "] Now Know What a Won- derful Thing Tanlac is," Says Pickell. "1 have gained twenty pounds by actua] weight and mow I know for myself that Tadnlac is something wonderful." William S. Pickell, who | made this remarkable statement is a well-known paint contractor and resides at 51 Windsor avenue; Wind- sor, "About @ year ago," continued Mr. Pickell, "1 began suffering from stomach trouble and going down, hill. My appetite went square back| on me and I always had to be very, careful about what I ate. I was very easy to take cold and was annoyed a great deal by a hacking cough caused by the irritated condition of my throat..-I fell off to one hundred 'and thirty eight pounds and felt run-down and tired all the time. My sleep was broken, 1 was very ner- vous and just felt worse than I can describe, Many days I simply felt like giving up entirely and it was by mere force of will that I kept at my work. "I had read so much about Tanlac that I concluded to see if it was good for me and what it had done in my case proves its value in build- ing up people who are all run down like I was. 1 have a fine appetite now and eat just anything I want, with' no bad after effects. My sleep is sound and restful and I don't have that tired feling any more. I now weigh one hundred and fifty- eight pounds--have made an actual gain of twenty pounds already and have just finished, my second bottle of Tantac. 1 really feel like a dif- ferent man, and two bottles of the medicine have done my daughter a world of good, too. 2» few more bottles and am telling all my friends how fine it is."
