A MOTHER'S APPEAL, Mrs. P. D. Crerar, of Hamilton, who has lost two sons at the front, sounds the ringing note of loyal lead- ership to all patriotic Canadfan wo- men. . ~ Speaking at a women's meeting on behalf of the Union Government, she said: "Are you going to help your boys who are fighting for you, or are you not? Your husband may be a Lib- eral and your father may be a Con- servative, Never mind either of them. Vote for the boy." That is sound, sensible advise, It is at once an appeal to forget party and, to rally to the help of the brave lads "over there." Every mother, every sister, every daughter, every wife--yea, and every widow-----of a Canadian soldier should respond to AID OF THE ALLIES Italians When the Great Rome, Nov. 27.--It is announced on the best authority that the reason why the French and British troops sent to Italy have mot joined Italians so far on the fighting front is because their help has not necessary. the Italians when and wherever they were needed, but the Italian army has made such a wonderful recovery in esprit and organization that not only have they checked the enemy, but recently have gained some ad- vantages.

After that is done, after 'the captains and the kings depart," we can then take up our party alignments once more. But until that happy day shall dawn, let us stand united. The difference between the two sides in the political campaign is as between the phrase "We will" and "We may." The Union party says to the boys overseas, "We will send you help." The Laurierites say "We may help; we cannot say." adians in the mud and horrors of war?

Every regiment sent to the front under the working of the Military Service Act will help to relieve the strain on the men now facing the foe. Wives and mothers, sisters and daughters of those gallant boys who hawe served and sactificed for three long years and more, will you not unite in helping to succor them? There is only one way you can be sure of sending them the aid they need so much, and that is by work- ing and voting for the Union Gov. ernment and its candidates, It would be an insult to ask any Can- adian woman to do otherwise. -------------------- A LESSON FROM KITCHENER. When a Kitchener mob' howls down a Liberal Unionist and a Con- | servative Unionist and shouts for Laurier, it is quite clear on which side the German element stands. Are the rest of Canada going to line up with them and vote for Laurier can- didates? There can be no half way measures in the coming election. He that is not 'with us 8 against us. Union Government, at this moment. | Sus time in our history, demands our support and oud allegiance if Can. adians are to stand fast and quit themselves like men. When Canada armed her men and sent them over- seas she promised to stand behind them to the last man and the last |erican. dollar.

HYDRO-ELRCTRIC POWER, The announcement that Hydro- Electric power from the Trent will, within ten days, be helping to light "Kingston and make the wheels of its industries turn, is good news in- deed. [For over eight years Kingston has been waiting for Sir Adam Beck it electrical energy from waterralls, "At last the long-hoped- for and greatly-need supply fs at hand, and it comes at a time when very urgently needed, in view of the greatly increased cost of coal. The 9 {load the engines and boilers of the Publie Utilities plant are at present carrying will be to a large extent taken care of by the power which will come over the Hydro-Electric Commission's transmission line from the Trent, the Kingston connection being made at Napanee. Not only will this city benefit as a result of the carrying of Trent power this far east, but small places like Cataraqui will soon be able to dispense with coal oil lamps and have their houses lighted by electricity. The Hydro. Electric Commission has kept this district waiting for a long time, but at last the benefits of a cheaper source of electrical energy are to be felt here. EXEMPTING THE FARMERS. The attitude of a section of the farming community in regard to the new Union Government has been a little difficult to understand. They have opposed this* Government be- cause they were mot in sympathy with conscription, believing that the farmer and the farmers' .son, who were responsible for the production f food, should be 'left on the soil. | There was, too, a strong resentment against the old Borden Government, which, we are willing to admit, there, was ample reason for.

In his address at Dundas he promised that the appeals on this ground would be acceded to. Within reason this was a very wise and necessary announcement of policy.

Therefore, we say that the Minister's announcement was a timely and sensible one. It ought--and will-- do much to bring the farming com- munity into line with Union Govern. ment, They can support it now without sacrificing any of their prin- oiples or altering their stand in re. ,8ard to the comseription of farm help. : - READING NEWSPAPER WHILE BARN ABLAZE A Mysterious Fire at the Home of W. ©.

Do not take one to get rid of Rippling Rhymes THE SCOLDING ERA I read the monthly magazines; they tell me I'm a traitor foul, if I don't cut out pork and beans, and live on slaw and roasted owl. Perhaps the magazines are right, perhaps their counsel is sublime; they have a noble goal in sight--but why abuse me all the time? The gifted speaker comes to speak, in our town hall, whose lights are dim; he says I am a knave and freak if I don't quite agree with him. "He says I am too base and mean to look my own self in the eyes, because I'm pies. He's doubtless right; but why get sore, and call me names to beat the Dutch? For hungry folk I'd do much more if I were not abused so much. We want your store of hard earned gold, to beat the kaiser's wicked wiles, and s0 we rant and chide and scold, in- stead of wearing winning smiles, We wish you to economize, and live on prunes and salted hoss, and to encourage you we rise, and tell you you're a total loss. You hand out seven hard-earned bones to help things out on foreign shore; we roast you then, in strident tones, because you don't give seven more.
