3 pension, which class includes all those disabled between 60 and 79 per cent. He will now receive $450 per annum, that is to say a class 6 pen- sion, which class includes all those between 75 and 79 percent. He is thus entitled to a much larger in- crease than the flat increase of 25 \per cent.

In future this allowance ', will be $300 instead of $250. :31. .7 a 5x :4: _ C72 ,?f,Fif. ge a . ,2? _,)'.:)',?;,'-,),',,'.?,.!, '? "With regard to the children of a disabled pensioner a very definite .change has been adopted. Under the pension regulations as approved last Wear only those receiving a pension tor a, disability of 60 per cent. or more were entitled to allowances on account of their children. Again, no distinction was drawn as between the allowance for the children of those 60 per cent. disabled and those totally disabled. For instance, a man 55 per cent. disabled, with four children, re- ceived $16 per month pension for him- self, but nothing for his children; a than 60 per cent. disabled with four children received $24 per a month for himself and $24 per month for his children, and the man totally dis- abled with four children received $40 per month tor himself and $24 per month for his children. The allow.. ances for the children of disabled men have, therefore, been-graded down in accordance with the disability. The totally disabled man will be entitled to $8 per month for each of his chil- dren; the man disabled 80 per cent. will be entitled to $7; the man dis- abled 60 per cent. will be entitled to $6, and the man disabled 55 per cent. will be entitled to $5.50, and so on, in descending amounts, so that the man disabled 5 per cent. will be entitled to 50 cents per month for each of his children. The totally disabled pri- vate'Will thus receive an additional increase ot 33 1-3 per cent., in the allowance payable tor his children. The percentage ot increase on ac- count of the'children will be less as the disability decreases to 60 per cent. Below 60 per cent. the dis- abled man will now be entitled to al- lowances tor children, although under the previous regulations he was not entitled to any such allowance. More for Married Disabled "Up to the present time no addi- tional allowance tor a married dis- abled pensioner had been made. It was considered that in this way the unmarried man was better treated than the married man. The amend- ment, therefore, provides tor an ad- ditional allowance tor the married disabled man based on the degrees ot the man's disability. The aliowance amounts to $8 per month or $96 per year tor a totally disabled soldier or sailor, 40 cents less per month being paid for each decrease ot five per cent. disability. "It the widow is drawing allowances on account of the children she will be entitled to a flat increase in their " Iowance of 33 1-3 per cent. For in- stance, a private's widow with four children will receive $40 per month for herself and $32 per month for her "The widows of those holding the rank of sub-lieutenant in the Cana- dian navy, or lieutenant in the Cana- dian expeditionary forces or lower ranks will be entitled to a flat in- crease of 25 per cent. pension. Thus the widow of a private who previously received $384 per annum will now re- ceive $480 per annum. "Those holding the rank of sub- lieutenant in the Canadian navy and lieutenant in the Canadian expedi- tionary forces, or a, lower rank, will be entitled in all cases to a 25 per cent. increase in pension. This 25 per cent. increase in pensions ina large num- ber of cases will be agai increased by the fact that the disabilities in the future will be divided into 20 classes with a difference of five per cent. in disability between classes, instead of six classes with a difference of 20 per cent. in disability between classes. For instance, a private disabled 75 per cent. has been receiving a pension of $288 per annum, that is to say a class important Announcement given Out by The Finance Minister. C “Upon the recommendation of the aniaister of finance, the pension regu- lations-applying to members-of the Canadian expeditionary forces have been amended by an order-in-council approved by his excellency the gov- ernor-general. The amendments made are far reaching in their effect. They provide for an increase in pensions and allowances to, and in respect of, soldiers and sailors holding lower ranks, up to and including the rank of sub-lieutenant in the Canadian navy and lieutenant in the Canadian expeditioary force. W "A third important change is, the authorization of an annual allowance tor a married disabled pensioner. Up to the present time the unmarried man received the same pension for disability as the married man. "The most important changes pro- vide for increases in pensions and allowances. These changes will be considered as having come into force on the first day of April, 1917, and in this way all pensioners will be en- titled to an extra cheque covering the difference between the pension paid since April 1, and the date on which the adjustment is made. The changes will affect the pensions of soldiers and sailors and their chil- dren, their orphan children, their widows and children, their dependent parents, and their younger brothers and sisters. The total increase in the amount payable by Canada for pen- sions and allowance will be approxi- mately 40 per cent. At the present time the annual expenditure involved is about $5,000,000, and with the in- creased outlay for pensions will be over $7,000,000 during the fiscal year. "A second change made is only slightly less important. It provides that disabilities shall be divided into 20 classes instead of six classes. In the future disabled men will be cer- tain to receive a pension based di- rectly on the percentage of disability which they suffer. .flflNSIflEHAHLE Illl]llfllill i ill (illl.llEll'li PENSIUNS “Ottawa, Oct. 22nd. - Sir Thomas White, minister of finance,to-day gave out the following statement: PHONE 218 ELECTRIC LIGHT LAMPS 40 Watt, each..............) 60 Watt, each...............5( 100 Watt Nitrogen, each “$1.5 All samples will be sent free by mail. Only one sample of grain, and one of potatoes, can be sent to each applicant. As the supply of seed is limited, farmers are advised to apply very early. The samples ot grain for distribu- tion will consist of spring wheat, about 5 lbs.; white oats, about 4 lbs.; bar- ley, about 5 lbs.; and field peas, about 5 lbs. These will be sent out from the Central Experimental Farm, Ot- tawa, by the Dominion Cerealist, who will furnish the necessary application forms. . A distribution of potatoes in sam- ples of about-three lbs. will be car- ried on from most of the experimental farms, the Central Farm supplying only the province of Ontario. DISTRIBUTION OF SEED GRAIN AND POTATOES By instructions of the Hon. Min- ister of Agriculture a free distribution of superior sorts of grain and pota- toes will be made during the coming yvinter and spring to Canadian farm- ers. Parents to Get More "Up to the present time the allow- ance to a dependent parent has been $24 per month, that is to say, $8 per month less than the pension of the widow. The amendment made author- izes the same pension tor the depen- dent parents as that authorized tor the widow. Instead of $24 per month the dependent parent will now receive. $40 per month, being a. flat increase of 66-2-3 per cent. “Dependent brothers and sisters were not previously provided for in the pension regulations. A very large number of cases come up, however, in which the eldest boy of a family had been supporting his mother and his younger brothers and sisters and con- tinued to support them until he died on service. With regard to his young- er brothers and sisters he might ar. most have been said to have taken the place of a father in their respect. The amendment provides, therefore, that for dependent brothers and sisters un- der the ages ot 16 and 17 years, the same allowances shall be provided as are provided for children. Thus, a younger brother who has been depen- dent on a private will receive $8 per month if one of his parents is alive and $16 per month if both of his Da- rents are dead. "A flat increase of 33 1-3 per cent. has been made in the allowance for $16 per month each instead of $12 per month each.

In the statement of claim it was alleged that by the will of the father certain residuary realty was divided among the three brothers, and that by mis- feasance, pressure and fraud, the de- fendants obtained from the plaintiff a deed to his share of the realty and sold it to an innocent purchaser, then laid out the proceeds in other lands in which they have made profits. The plaintiff, realizing that he could not contest a deed to an innocent pur- chaser, asked for an accounting of the dealings with the proceeds ot the sale. The court found that the plaintiff wholly failed in the attempt to prove fraud or improper conduct. Thieves entered the orchard of Mr. W. A. Riley recently and carried away tour barrels of hand picked winter apples. Mr. Riley was almost the only one in the community fortunate enough to have any apples, and he had been doing his utmost to share up with his neighbors by disposing ot them in small quantities even though it meant more labor to himself. Al- so he had spent money and time last spring in spraying several times, and by this means had secured a very choice selection of fruit. It seems a. pity that some means could not be IIS- ed to bring the miscreants to Justice, but as they left no marks behind them, this seems impossible. Before proceeding to dispose of the action, his Lordship says that throughout the trial he made every effort to effect a settlement, and de- layed judgment since last July in the hope that a settlement would be reached.

Judge Hearn is a son of the late William Hearn, J.P., of May- field, County of Peel. His grandfa- ther took up land there in 1822 and Mr. Hearn was born on May 11, 1858. He received his education in the pub- lic schools, Brampton high school and Osgoode Hall. In the spring of 1884 he was called to the bar and for ten years he practised successfully at Barrie and at Tottenham in Simcoe County. He removed to Toronto in March, 1894, and has since practised in this city. In 1908 he was made a King's Counsel. He married in 1889 and has four children, two daughters and two sons. William C. Hearn, the older boy, enlisted at the age ot 18 in a. first contingent unit. After Sesrer1- teen months in the trenches he was made a corporal. He was gassed at St. Julien, seriously wounded at Zille- beke, and has since been in hospital. Leo, the second son, went overseas in May, 1915, with the Mechanical Transport and is now in France. The advantage of publicity is now apparent to all. since with the dis- semination of the facts regarding the Military Service Act public apprecia- tion of its fairness and justice has grown by leaps and bounds in every section of Canada. C-14. Judge Hearn has been an active member of the Independent Order of Foresters tor 31 years and has held high offices in the order. He is also a member of the Canadian Order of Home Circles, the Catholic Mutual Benefit Association, the Knights of Columbus, the Irish Catholic Benevo- lent Union and other Catholic orders.

An article recently published by Dr. Morton Prince on shell shock should be of particular interest to all young men enlisting tor service. Most peo- ple believe that when a high ex- plosive shell bursts near a man the mere concussion ot the air is enough to cause physical injury and very of- ten death to men who are near enough to feel the effects of it. This idea, he states, is absolutely incorrect. It has been proved that true shell shock dif- ters in no way from the ordinary trau- matic neurosis. As observed in many cases after railway accidents, earth- quakes, etc., therefore it is nothing but traumatic hysteria or more pro- perly described may be called shell fear. It is because soldiers believe that shell shock can cause paralysis or loss of memory that these effects are actually produced. If the soldier could only rid his mind of this belief shell shock would no longer be the serious problem it is to the doctors. Dr. Prince suggests that all men en- listing for overseas should be given lectures on this subject. By this means- the soldiers would get rid of the ever haunting fear of a bursting shell and a, healthy preparedness of this con- tingency would be created in his mind, instead of fear and mystery. The one thing necessary is to develop a strong mental attitude and be firmly conirinc- ed that unless a shell causes actual wounding it is powerless to steal away the soldier's memory, deaden his speech or turn him into a helpless par- alytic. k _." With Increase in Canada’s Prestige as a Belligerent, War Business Booms. Ottawa, Oct. 2e.--Announcement that the Imperial Munitions Board will spend money liberally in Canada for the winter on munitions contracts is welcomed here as an assurance of industrial prosperity during the winter months. It also means that the total amount spent on munitions in Canada to the end of the year will be an im- posing sum, Just how large it is diffi- cult to estimate at the moment. Consideration of this question brings up the poin that Canada has been unusually fortunate in the mat- ter of obtaining contracts for war ma- terial, all kinds of which have been exported to Europe since war began. One of the features ot Canada's par- ticipation in the War has been the prosperous business it has brought the country. The adoption by Canada of the Military Service Act has vastly in- creased the national prestige as a belligerent on the side of the Allies and has assured the country of con- tinued prosperity through war activi- ties of a business nature.
