OTIC PUND WORKINGS, {It Costs Lesa Than Ome Per Cent. to Administer the Fund in Kings. | tom, {+ H.C. Niekle addressed a arge jain ring of soldiers in the rooms of {the Great War Veterans' Association on Mondgy evening at the close o | business aneeting when. he 'explain- ed to the soldiers the administration: {of the Patriotic Fund. Pe stated! i that duringsthe war the sum of forty- | two million dollars had beep paid into the Canadian Patriotic Fund { Without a cent of taxation, amd that the fund was provided for 52,000 adult dependents and over 143.000 children. The work of the fund was carried on all over Canada, and the cost of admfinistratiol was never more than two per cent. In Kingston, where, since the beginning of the war, $207,000 have been paid out, the cost of administration was less than one per cont, Out of that have to be paid long distance telephone calls, part of stenographers' wages, stimps, and other items, so that no ofi¢ could say that there was any excessive cost of administration. Mr. Nickle spoke of installing the sys | fem of paying out the cheques from his own office in-person, so the: he could become acquainted with the solalers' wives, It was no easy tagk | meet 450 women around the mid dle of every month, and to answer all their questions | Mr. Nickle outlined the scale of '== 'allowances paid by the Patriotic!s== Fund in all classes of dependency, | == {and showed how the advicury com- [== | mittee, which administered the fund = j were doitg all they could to see that w= {the soldiers' dependents were being | === given a fair chance to live comfort- ably, He told the audience that ins addition to merely paying out the] cheques to the soldiers' wives every | month, 1he¢ Patriotic Fund took a | personal interest in the welfare of the families of the men who are overs He cited many cases in which officials had been instru- ghtening out domes tie difficultd and bn preventing tous ble in soldiers' homes. He said that he wus often criticized, but when the complaints and the compliments were balanced, there would ba a very sub stantial balance on the right side, As a tribute to the funni, the Govern- ment has asked fits officials to be responsible for the regeption in Can-| ada of soldiers' dependents coming from England, because the Patriotie Fund is the only organization that lis big enough for the task. He said {that ¢riticism is a good thing so long] jas it is honest criticism, but that he "had no patience with ¢}ose who com~ plained and raised there was no cause clusfo'; .he said that. it had given | him sauch pleasure ta be able to do| TTT HHI HERA HERRON TIED, seas, the fund mental in sf im I w-- Ei mi HHT - e-------- = Phy 00 --- Abernethy's Our Store Will Be Open 7 To.

It will not be known until nine! o'clock to-night what candidates will | contest for aldermen and school trustees in the wards. At that hour] all candidates who intend going to' the polls muss. file their qualification papers with the city clerk, It is thought that there may be acclama- tions in Sydenham, Ontario, St. Taw- rence, Cataraqui and Vietoria wards, but the mayoralty candidates would prefer contests in every ward, as this| would be to their advantage.
