The Deciding Ton Pounds Some men were cutting down a tree in a neighboring town. Ropes had heen attached td it, and men were tugging awfly to keep the tree from falling in the wrong direction. . There was the usual crowd on the sidewalk, shouting orders, and dispensing advice * with.lavish freedom. ~ "Finally the tree began to sway, and the men on the - sidewalk began to yell to the men on the rope to "4 ook out there! Pull! It'll get jaway from you!" And for a moment it looked as thdugh the men on the rope would be beaten, and the iree would crash down and bring destruction with it. "Bt just then a qu'et Little fellow. stepped out from ihe ¢rowd and began pulling on the rope. He wasn't a strong boy, but bis effort at the right moment saved situation. There is a situation like this to-day. Peace is in sight--IF. That's it. ltis time for the quiet little .dellow, with only alittle money t& trom the crowd and make his money pull, This is the time to be thankful that a Bounteous harvest has made it possible for so many to be able to buy Vic- _ tory Bonds, and join in the grand charge that shall put the British Empire "overthe top," and make the flight of the enemy a complete rout. Big financiers and small savers can all help to turn tide of war, so that undisputed victory may crown the Allies with success: The last ten pounds decides, The effort of will, the sacrifice of thrift; thé care of economy, the enthusi- asm for victory--these will count now more than ever * before, in this great drive for VICTORY. FUEL COMMISSION The Town Treasurer, J. Ford, has been appointed Municipal Fuel Controller for Port Perry, and his appointment has received Government confirmation. ~The Dominion apportionment of Coal by the United States Con- troller is 75 per cent. of -the amount consumed last year, and that ratio applies to each Province and each Municipality. It 1s' manifestly unfair that many cellars should be full and many "empty. Those without coal will please let the Local Fuel Controller know at at once. And patriotism should induce those with, more than their winter's needs to do the same. 3 ; When Coal comes into the town to either of the dealers, supplies - will go to those whose need i is 'most pressing. If the agents and consum- er will work with the Commissioner there will be no case of hardship if it'is possible to prevent it. kL F ORD, Fuel Controller for Port Perry.
