There is not the slightest doubt that the people of Kingston and Frontenac County have the ability to take up their share of the loan, and we must appeal particularly to the individuals who are able to buy bonds of denominations of $50 to $100, and up to $1,000 to come for- ward and assume their proper share. This 1s not asking for anything, but only placing before them the direct benefit that will come from the pos- session of these bonds. Such an in- vestment may not come again for a long time, and now when the oppor- tunity is open no person able to buy these bonds should allow it to pass. The call fof the additional $100,- 000,000 was not unexpected, parti- cularly when the $300,000,000 was obtained before the expiration of the allotted time, indicating that the peo ple had the ability to carry the loan, and there is mo doubt that it will be taken up before the end of the week. Kingston, however, must wake up to her duty and her opportunity, and not only go over the top but help reach the new mark set for Ontario. THE ONTARIO FRANCHISE DIS- TRIBUTION. The refult of the recent provincial election in Ontario, which swept the Farmers Party into power and de- feated both of the old parties, has re- vived the idea that the present dis- tribution of the franchise throughout Ontario is hardly fair to the people who live in the cities and towns. So long as the farmers can keep togeth-| er it will be utterly impossible for any other party to hay say in the government of the ince," al though by population they are by no means the largest class. = Looking over the 111 seats in the provineial house, it {s found that 75 of them rural seats. 'That is, the members for these con- Stituencies are elected by rural vot- ers. In contrast to this, there are on- ly 36 seats for the cities and larger towns of Ontario, oe This fs hardly fair to the cities. According to population, tasre should be a few more city constitu éncies:than rural ones. The popula- tion of the cities and larger towhs of Canada, and of what might be called industrial districts, comprise almost sixty per cent, of the population of the whole province. Thus, in order to give equal ' representation to the Newspaper advertising benefits producer and consumer alike by fac- ilitating quantity production. The buyer of articles regularly advertis- ed in the daily mewspapers is often able to get them in retail quantities at less than he would have to pay for wholesale lots but for the rapid turnover the seller secures by creat- ing an active market for his wares through good publicity. Advertising keeps the manufactur- ers of these commodities busy and enables them to make the most eco- nomical use of their. plants. It cuts the cost of selling and delivery to a minimum. It is as profitable for the consu- mer to patronize regular advertisers as it is for the advertisers to send news and information about 'their CanadaEast and West Dominion Happenings of Other Days. : {BATTLE OF CHRYSTLER'S FARM On Nov. 11, 1813 the British won a decisive victory over the American army at Chrystler's Farm when Col- onel Morrison attacked and defeated {two armies of Amerieans who were at- tempting to reach Montreal. The in- i vaders had divided their forces at the head of the Long Sault rapids and! marched on. Morrison saw that it {was a splendid opportunity to strike. {Had the two forces united the story {of the conflict might read different- ly in Canadian history, It was a! {smart fight that took place on the! {11th of November. The advantaged jwent to the British who, out of an army of 800 men, lost in killed and wounded, about 180, while the Ameri- | cans, with 2,500 men, suffered cas-! | ualties estimated at over 300 men with an additional 100 taken prison- lers. The invaders were thys cut off from | | Montreal, where they had hoped to be. victors and to establish themselves for the winter. They were in comse- | quence forced to retreat just as winter! was coming on. Their line of march; was harrassed night and day by the! British patrols and in this way over oné hundred sleigh loads of war stores, chiefly food and munitions, few into the hands of the British as prizes. This was in itself a great vie- | tory as thevarmy of the King was none too well equipped for winter and the conflicts that the spring would certaihly bring again, The biggest ef- | fect however, was not in the prize stores or in the number of men slain or put out of action or even in the freeing of Montreal district from the threat of the enemy 'or the winter It was in the shaking of the morale of the foe who hitherto had deemed himself almost invincible and who | held rather a supreme contempt for the small armies that were seeking to! arrest his activities in the British do- main. In even greater proportion it] cheered the Royal forces and . gave them greater confidence in the appeal to arms for 1814 destined to be the! year of final victory.
