Are Expensive, and Ameliasburg Ratepayers Are Objecting. Salem, Dec. 8.--Some time ago the Whig misquoted your correspondent by saying that the county roads of Prince Edward County were not ex- pensive, when what was written was that they were not inexpensive. taxes this year are higher than ever, the total tax being a little over 24 mills, of which the county rate is 13 5-10 mills. The county roads go a long way toward making up this total, and if they were at all perma- nent the expense would be easier to bear. payers in Ameliasburg township wish that this county had never known a country road system, Our The great majority of rate- Rev, C.

MUST KEEP UP SUPPLY. Bitola of Sous Fallen in Fight Must The Belleville, Dec, 9.--It is, - be MORE TRADE FOR CANADA. Government Has Imsisted That Allies Get Many Supplies Here. While there has been a remark- able increase in our exports to Great Britain of agricultural exports, and even greater increase is shown in our exports of manufactures,' de- clared Hon. A. E. Kemp, chairman of t War "Purchasing Commission, in a statement with regard to the me- thod adopted in purchasing supplies for Canadian troops overseas, 'when the. war broke out our shipments of manufactures to the United King- dom amounted to less than half a million dollars per month, whereas in some months during the current | year they have amounted to more | than one million dollars per day. | "For the twelve months of | the | war, ending July 31st, 1915, our ex- { ports of manufactures to the United Kingdom amounted to $50,373,074, while for the corresponding twelve months of 1916 they amounted to $202,973,346. Our exports, under head of agriculture, during the cor- responding two periods, aggregated $97,657,694 and $275,849,761 re- spectively, The total exports from Canada to the United Kingdom, in- cluding the mine, fisheries, forest, animals, and produce, agriculture, manufactures, and miscellaneous for the twelve month periods, ending July 31st, 1915 and 1916, were $228,210,069 .and $595,817,576 re- spectively. "Since Canada," states Hon. Mr. Kemp, "has undertaken the obliga- tion of paying the whole cost of the expeditionary force, and since the Canadian people have cheerfully en- tered into the sacrifice entailed by their participation in the war, the Government have from the very be- ginning taken the position, not mere- ly that the Canadian producer should have the benefit of orders for such supplies and equipment as would provide for the Canadian troops, but further, that in respect of all pur- chases for the purposes of the war, for which the British Government find It necessary to go outside, the British Isles, the British dominions should always in preference to neu- trals, be given the first opportunity of tendering. "During the Prime Minister's visit to England in the summer of 1915, in interviews with the heads of pur- chasing branches of the various de- partments concerned, he took occa- sion to impress upon them in unmis- takable terms that the Canadian Government would insist on this point. As a result it appears that purchases of supplies, equipment, clothing, etc., produced in Canada have reached an amount which is not merely proportionate to the re- quirements of the Canadian forces abroad, but is very greatly in ex- cess of such requirements, varying, in fact, from a ratio of two to one, to a ratio of thirty to one, in respect to various articles. "To cite one of the many evidences of the dilige: of the Government in bringing to the attention of the British Government, the desirability, as far as possible, to purchase in Cagpda, a cursory examination of the files duting the first eleven months of the war, shows that over 200 cablegrams had been exchanged between the Prime Minister and Sir George Perley, Acting High Commis- sioner for Canada in London, on this subject, while since that date there has been a constant exchange of tele- grams on the same subject. These cablegrams, it may be said, have reference. not only to the require- ments of Great Britain, but also to those of the allied Governments, and general information as to supplies of various kinds obtainable in Canada." Quebec is Prospering. "The recent tour of the Province of Quebec by a representative delega- tion of business men from Ontario reveals the fact that Quebec, prob- ably more than any other portion of the Dominion, is reaping a marvel- lous measure of prosperity and indus- trial advantage through the present war period. Directly through con- tracts for munitions of war, and in- directly through the increased de- mands for such products as pulp- wood and paper, lumber, cotton, and woollen goods and asbestos, Quebec has been immensely enriched. The labor problem, which has been so acute in other parts of the country, does not apply to any great extent in this Province; and with the exception of the asbestos miners in Thetford there have been no strikes or other adverse conditions to interfere with egress of industry. only cloud in the sky of com- mercial Quebec is the high cost of foodstuffs, which has made comfort- able living amongst the industrial classes, especially in Montreal and the other larger centres of the Prov- ince, a serious and difficult problem. But with' the increased trade which has come to Quebec, much of it through the ordinary commercial channels as well as from tha war, the and the stand- tended to ad- her final posi not by what she by what X up the fallen in the f TO HELP SUCCESSOR Former Patriotic Premier Calls Upon Party to Stand by Lloyd George. London, Dec. 9.--Spite and ven- gence are not in the make-up -of Her- bert H. Asquith. He proved this yesterday when, in an impassioned plea for unity he called upon the Liberal party, of which he is the leader, to forget all personal grievances apd to rally, for the sake of the nation, around the man who forty-eight hours ago over- threw him and his government. Whatever ministry David Lloyd George forms, the ex-premier urged, should have the unqualified, whole- hearted support of the Liberal party. He himself would do 'whatever I can to facilitate the task which has fallen into other hands," said he. In the midst of the most sensa- tional 'government shake-up England has seen since the outbreak of the war, this exhibition of self-efface- ment and patriotism last night stir- red the press and public of the United Kingdom to enthusiastic ad- miration. HIGH COST IN BELGIUM. Starving People Fed at Surprisingly Small Cost. Montreal, Dec. 9.--At the office o the Belgian Relief Committee at § St. Peter street, im this city, is to be found evidenc8 of one way to beat the high cost of living that may give food for thought. A prominent busi- ness man tells about it. "There's one investment," he says, "that 1 can conscientiously advise everyone to make without 'fur- ther investigation. And that is a contribution to the Belgian Relief Committee. It pays higher dividends to the dollar than any other proposi- tion I know of. You don't get-any financial return, but you get the sat- isfaction of knowing that your money is keeping life in a nation that would starve to death but for the help given it in its hour of need by the peoples it helped to save from the fate it is suffering. "If you want to know how it's done, go over to the local office and they will tell you something about the job of feeding seven million peo- ple that will make you revise your ideas of economy. Do you know what it costs to supply a meal to one of those poor mothers and children? Well, you'd think that with beans go- ing up in price the poor man here was doing about as well as he coul if he gets a meal for fifteen cents, wouldn't you? And he certainly would be. But over in Belgium they're handing out meals to people every day that cost five cents apiece. "Now that is certainly putting a crimp in the high cost of living. But remember that there are seven mil- lions of those war sufferers to be fed, and you'll see that it is gbing to cost something to keep it up. They need dll the help they can get, and I don't know of a worthier cause under the sun." Send in a subscription through the Kingston Board of Trade. Back From England. New York, Dec, 9.--J, P.

I was laid up for nearly five weeks with a doctor attending me who did no- thing but treat those kind of things. Doctors told me to lie in bed, but where there is a big family one can- not do that.
