It nid at Ypres that Canadians suffered gas | for the first time on April, 1915. | "St. Bloi," April, 1916, was don- | a'ed by Wm' Hugh Coverdale, son of | William Miles Brvertnre who was | city engineer of Kingston, 1877 to] 1884.

Is Good Advertising "The net of half a million dollars, announced for September," continued Mr. Hanna "is helping us now: and the net of $1,036,103.34 in October means more business for us in De- cember and succeeding months, It's the best advertising we can get. Many business men® too busy to fol- low the ins and outs of the railway question, could not understand the deficit--they did not like the idea that money they paid us for freight would go into a deficit. Now when | they see we are out of "red" figures | they are giving us more of their busi- ness. We need long haul traffic, and | if 'we can get enough of it we will pull out even in December-- unless the weather is very bad--notwith- standing the forthcoming reduction in rates. January and February are the bad months to face, but we are not at all despondent about the fu- ture and if the lower rates prove any help to business, the railways will certainly be pleased to handle it. Greate lume of business is what the National Railways want for Christmas and our socks are hangz- ing up all along the line from the | Atlantic to the Pacific" concluded Mr, Hanna, ~--Toronto Star.
