Death Of Belleville Girl, Victory Loan So'e Topic for Canadians During Next 10 Days EN To This All Other Features of the War Must be Com- . pletely Subordinated. The Victory Loaa must monopolize the attention of Canadians during the next ten days. There will be lots of time after the campaign 10 speculate on the prospect of peace. In the meantime the call comes to all--*"Carry on." The people in realize this. Canadians at home must take their cue from Foch. When he says 'Let up," they may be justified in doing 80. But while the men are overseas the need for supplies will continue. Bear in miad also that Canada's war expense will not cease at the moment when the soldiers lay down their arms. A long time must elapse before the boys overseas can be brought back. Probably 450,000 of them have gone over, and good judges say that they cannot be brought home under 16 months. In the meantime they must be kept, Be it also remembered that a large proportion of the Victory Loan money will go to finance the sale of Canadian products abroad. The farm- er is dependent on it for the sale of his wheat, beef, pork, butter, cheese and eggs to Great Britain. So if the Canadian Army is to be maintained, and the farmers, manu- facturers, mechanics and buginesspeo- ple generally are to be kept busy the $600,000,000 wanted must be raised.

Now when BUY VICTORY BONDS, Victory Loan Promotes the Farmers' Interests The Victory Loan and the Farm go together. Canada's surplus farm pro ducts could not be sold without the Victory Loan. It the surplus could not be sold, prices in the home market would go to pieces. It is one thing to raise farm products, but it is another thing to sell them for cash.

'Liberty Loan Set Canadians High Mark The United States did so well in the recent Fourth Liberty Loan cam- paign that Canada, in justice to her- self, must do unusually well in the present drive, or she will suffer by the contrast. The Americans start out with $6,060,000,000° as their objective, They actually raised $6,866,000,000. The number of subscribers is placed at 21,000,000, or about one for every five of the population. To do as well as this Canada must raise over $500,000,000. If she sé cures the same percentage of sub- seribers to the population, instead of having 1,000,000, she will have 1,600,000.

About a year " ago when I was only a few days old, I was handed out by one of our chartered banks. to a storekeeper named John Doe. I was crisp and clean then, with a bright yellow back, I have spent a mighty busy year, and faded out a lot, but, believe me, my usefulness is as great as ever. When I first started out in life the Victory Loan Campaign of 1917 was on. In fact, my very first job in life was to help pay fora Victory Bond John Doe had bought.

The very next day I went to pay a Jumber dealer in British Columbia for some spruce he had sold the British Gov- ernment for aeroplanes. dealer immediately put nie in the bank. But just as I was getting used to my surroundings I was taken from the bank and soon found myself slipped in a small yellow envelope with. some' other bills and handed out one Saturday to one of- the lumber company's employees, who carried me home with "im, where I remanfed all night. .
