Canada to-day is being called upon to face acrisis in her hstory. Strong-efforts are being made to have us cut off from any further parti- cipation in the war. For that is what it means if certain men are given the power to dictate our course. Are we ready to quit like beaten sheep or are we ready to take our place beside the men who have placed their names on the side of justice. This is not a war for commercial gain. It is a’struggle against oppression and all that follows in its trail. 'The history of Canada will always be looked upon as a blot if we allow party politics to operate In the present crisis. What every man should strive to bring about is a union government. The policy of this union government to be win the war and no politics. Evidence shows that partyism has “been a hindrance to the greater prosecution of the war. Men are required at once for the front. Our present system of voluntary enlistment has fail- ed. Our whole army will fail if politics are allowed to rule. But Canada has big men who are ab'ove petty political differences in the present crisis. They come forth with their strong appeals to lay aside these differences and win the war. It is men of this type big men who are above petty partyism ties, men who have brains and ability to act) who should now come forth to rule our destinies. The other governments have come to union, why should we not do it here? Save your money and turn it over to the government for war purposes was the cry a.nd is now the cry,, Why waste money in political Strifes? Why save to let the country have a political campaign? No! What Canada must have is a union government'made up of strong men, men who are out to win the war; Let each man do what he can to bring into being this progressive idea. Are you aware that help is wanted on the farm? The present weather has meant that the harvest is here before the hay is in. Grain is ripening very fast and must be attended to at once. The hay is still standingand must be cut and drawn in at once. To do this men and more men are required. The office boy cannot stand it very well, The man who should go is one used to outdoor work, one who knows something of farming. It is men who are wanted Now it is possible that there are some men in Weston or Mount Dennis who can give a hand. If so your help will be very gratefully received. Tretheway's usually have about 35 men, but this year about eight are trying to cope with the situa- tion. This is only one case. There are many others just the same. With the new and-up-to-date farm machinery much more can be accomplished. With a few more hands we can harvest a great crop. Is it needed? You all know how much it is needed.; Just look about you, read your dailies, see the reports and fou will realize the need. If you are going to do your part to help win the war get into line. Help the farmer. Make the way there yourself and offer your services. Have you ever had any difficulty in locating just where a man lives in the country? Have you ever found it hard to follow the directions given to you? Every man who goes into the county has a difficulty to locate his iman. You never know where the concession number letters from. You never know the "cross roads. Sometimes they are called by two or three names. On the maps filed you find them named or numbered. Would it not be a decided advantage to have each corner fence bear the name af the sideroad and the number or name of the concession? The Ontario Motor League have done a lot to help this on the public highways which are in constant use. This matter could be taken care of by the.councils of Etobicoke, Yorand the benefit to the public would be lasting, Th k and Vaughan. 'The expense would not be greate whole could be easily -w_orked and the council" who does it will have its name put down in history. Weston has some-good live merchants. They are ready to do business. They are ready to serve you at a low rate. Butthey must get your confiderfce to do it. They must have your assistance to meet the new outlay. I They must have your good will add assistance to carry on. In short, look and see if you cannnot do your part in helping our merchants. Look at their windows and advertise- ments, look at their stocks and quality. Talk the matter over with your merchant and let, him think. The people here do not appreciate the services of their local men. Rather they are looking for every little defect or weak point in the local merchant, They will buy boots with paper heels for $4.00 in Toronto, but refuse 1oluy solid leather shoes at home for a little more money. They will buy cot- ton goods which looks like silk and are sold for mixed goods at fancy prices. Yet these same people want the silk quality forrthe cotton price at home. Have you given your local merchant a square deal? Do you try to keep your money in circulation for the development of this district? If the towns- people and the merchant could all get. the common idea of a community spirit we would thrive. Does it pay to buy always in.the cheapest market? We find many persons who buy just be- cause it looks like a bargain. They dou't look at the quality. They don't examine the goods closely. They dqn't look into the detail and style. They sirrély see an advertisement or sign and at once accept it as good and genuine. Few people are to-day taken in by the red flag and auction sale of jewellery. Why? Because the public have lost confide ce in them. Few people will purchase where they see a sign at a junk shop sale. The majority, however, only buy once from these men. A careful analy- sis will show that the big department business has grown because of the confidence placed in them by the public. Some women will buy from the paper advertisement or catalogue because of the name at the top or bottom. They do not stop to analyze the value or quality. It is just what we need. The regular price is such and the reduced price is such. "The article is sold. The same article may have been sitting in (meiof our stores at a less price or the same price. We have not looked at it. We have not enquired. The merchant has not pushed it because he hassomething which he knows would suit your requirements exactly. Yet for this care of you he has lost a sale. You go down town and purchase and carry home articles that would have been bought at the local store for the same price. Yet we have a local bakery. His bread is far better than the other three, his prices are the same. He can do the business. Why then can't we support our local man? Every dollar you send to Toronto stays there. Every dollar spent to our local men is spent right here. Just think about this and see if you are not able to help your town by keeping in circulation your money here at home. Should the bread wryrlt1s, milk wagons and pedlars of all descriptions be given the free privileges of (our town? Our merchants are called upon to pay taxes, rent, stock and keep the town up, yet these men are allowed to peddle Toronto bread, milk and other articles right down our streets. Is it the merchants' fault or should some restriction be placed upon these men? Matters Of Interest '" w _ To Weston People The' merchants should indeed have the preference if he has price, quality and delivers. For one instance we have Canada Bread, St. Lawrence Bread and Coleman's all selling bread here each day.
