We leave it to the reader to decide whether this is a compliment to the water or to the milk. The farmers are going to start a new dally mewspaper in Toronto.

Well, one good place would be in the trenches with Hun airplanes over- head and the British aircrafts all in the hangars for lack of gas. They / would speedily realize the awful- ness of the situation. ; "Canada's war record," according to the Seattle, Wash., Post-Intelli- geéncer, "is not only a. matter of pride to the Canadians themselves, but to their American neighbors, who like to feel that much of their splendid performance is due to qualities that are distinctive tothe 'manhood of North America." : i ¥ -- ------ f .

Let Canadians copy the example of the Americans in their observance of the next gasless Sunday. EXPERIENCE. a. CLIP DOLLAR'S WINGS. Is your money flighty? Does it leap out of your pocket and get away? If so, you had Letter clip its wings. It may be that other money comes flying along to take its place just now, for there is money in the air. But these good times will not always be. The Canadian wage-earner, and the man with things to sell, is getting money in sums he never dreamed of. He is a fool, though, if he thinks this sort of thing will last forever. If he has sense and patriotism he will cling to some of It now. That is the only way to make his own and Canada's future secure. Money now is light and liable to be blown away Hold it down by put- ting one dollar on top of an- | other. That is thrift. | A SAVING BELGIAN CHILDREN. One million two hundred thou- sand out of two and a quarter mil- lion children under fifteen years of agd in Belgium to-day are depend- ent upon the Belgian Relief Com- mission and the charities which operate in virtue of the financial assistance provided by the commis- sion, for life itself. If the work of the commission and its dependent charities were to stop to-day, more than a million children would/ be staring death in the face, and Ger any's long-frustrated ambition, the extermination of the next generation of Belgians, would be on the verge of realization. : The people on this side of the At- fantic have never fully realized, and will never fully realize, the suffer- ings endured by the little ones of unhappy Belgium. There are no words with which a picture of the sordid misery and terrible suffer- ings of these poor children may he painted. There are no terms even approximating the pain that 'is theirs, and to give to the charitable workers who are saving the lives of scores upon scores of these child- ren glaily, the full measure of praise which is their due would seem grossly exaggerative., That these organizations and eir workers have constituted, for four years, the sole bulwark between more than a million children and death will never be denled. That they will continue their invaluable work of merey to.the end, no one has ever doubted, but they' find themselves confronted to-day by a financial crisis more alarming that has ever been faced. Shortage of funds to their work. This means that over a mil- lion Belgian babes and children are' In danger of befhg surrendered to the horrible fate from which they have so long been valiantly protect- ed. The Belgian Relief Commis. sion is to-day making the most urg- ent of all its appeals to the people of Canada for financial support. The appeal is being made on behalf of the organizations which have done so much for the unfortunate Belgian children, and the commis- sion feels that no Canadian father or mother can fail to understand how vital an appeal it is, Contri- butions should be sent to the local branch of the Belgian. Relief Fund or to the Canadian headquarters at 59 St. Peter street, Montreal. ie-THE KINGSTON FAIR. The Kingston Agricultural Fair closed yesterday.

On the whole, it has been a great benefit to workers, thvse who toil in the cities and towns. It has practically doubled the production of garden stuff. Men have been able to work long and well in their back grounds in the evenings. They were in the mood after f€a to do gardening, es- pecially as they had the light with them. It was much easier to work at night than as heretofore get up at 5 am. and do an hour's hoeing before breakfast. Women, too, were able to do more housework. They could sew on the back verandah with the daylight provided. Artifi- cal light always brings fatigue with it, and the inclination is to rest when the lamp is lit. The same ap- plies to factory production, and greater speed is made with the sun} shedding light upon the varied oc- cupations of the industrial workers. And the long evenings gave a new zest to workmen. They did not care to spend the hours on the streets or in familar hangouts, but Mr. and Mrs. George ~ Anderson, ; Campbeliford, announce the marriage of their daughter, Agnes Mary to Dunam Noxon Foster, son of Met #nd Mrs. A.
