Thatis hird of Ontario's requirements. * But Ontario has proba more than seven times the population. ritish Columbia asks no favors, With only about 350,000 people--noe rich in this world's goods, but rich in pluck and good red blood---it is undertaking to raise One Million Dollars for the Canadian Patriotic Fund! That equals $2.86 per head. Ontario, if it raise six million, will be giving about $2.38 per head. Fi : But the Western Province will still be short One Million Dollars.

This applies particularly to towns which pay Ts '@ county tax. Yet this tax never represents a fair or just contribution to the Fund from men of moderate or large - means, Practically it is based on what the poorer then can afford. 'The richer should give much more, and they can be reached only through a popular campaign. * To relieve anxiety these campaigns should be held in January or .- Will not patriotic men and women in every town take up this duty? They can get all information'as to organization and methods by writing to theCanadian Patriotic Fund, Ottawa. And the Fund will assist them also with a campaign of advertising. \ X "7" AstoNo.3.
