I expect to get away on leave some time in January, and will see all the fellows who were wounded since August 8th. The majority of them. are in England. We have a lot of new guys and they don't appeal to .115 at all. We are monotonous. The rest of the brigade is near Brussels; so they have a chance to see some- thing.

When we were at Wailers in October 'this bat- itery left to come here, a few miles .south west ot Arras, on a course for N.C.O.s and officers. We had six .recuperators and needed a couple of .spring butter guns, so they sent our section to 32nd Battery and two of :their guns came to the 30th. So they sent the limber gunners with them, land off we went to the 32nd. Our battery had only left about tive days rand the remainder of the brigade went into action. We chased him along for eight days and had him 'away ahead of Mons, when on the morning of the eleventh of November an order was read out that hostili- ties would cease at 11 a.m. It sure '-Was excellent news, but was hard to "believe. Just the night before we were ducking machine gun bullets, and it was not any too comfortable. The (civilians left their homes when we. brought in the guns, and returned at- ter they heard the war was over. We had the opportunity of sleeping in real beds, but didn't consider it worth While, as the war was nearly over. Some poor infantry chaps were .killed only a few hours before the, armistice went into effect. We went I ahead of Mons and stayed for a cou- ,ple ot weeks.

This may hare Something to do with the change in the size ot the loaf, and, incidental- ly, the price. The 12-0unce loaf con- tinues on the market and sells tor six cents. . All smaller bakers followed suit in the matter of hoisting bread from 8 to 10 cents. It is about a month ago since the "bread war" sent prices down. "There can be no relief in the present price of bread until the're is a reduction in the price of Wheat, which cannot come until Aug. 31, at least," said Mark Bredin, president of the Canada Bread Company. "We found our customers rather expecting the two-cent raise yesterday. Even now, we are better off than our o. S. neighbors, where the price is fifteen cents per same sized loaf, and the Government over there have guaran- teed the price of wheat for another year." The Orangeville Sun says: "One of the simplest ways of arriving at your income, and at the same time telling the government a lot about your pri- vate affairs and your own personal 'charms and accomplishments, is given below: ' First take your income, Add wife's income, Divide by your eldest son's age, Subtract your telephone number, Subtract your auto license number, Add electric light bill, Divided by number of kilowatts, Multiply by your father's age, Add number of gold fillings in teeth, Add your post office box number, Subtract wife's age (approximate), Divide your number of aunts you have Add the number of uncles, Subtract number of daughters, Multiply by number of times, You have gone up in an airplane, Subtract your best euchre score, Add a pinch oCsalt, And then go out and Borrow the money and pay the tax."

He also urged his young friends to go forward with a greater determination to achieve big- ger results than in the previous years. The singing of the National Anthem brought the meeting to a close. I On Friday afternoon the children ‘of the public and separate schools of weston gathered in the town hall to listen to an address given by Mr, Dockray of Toronto on gardening. Mr. H. J. Alexander, principal of the pub- lic school, occupied the chair, and the. scholars opened with a couple of chorususelections appropriate to the occasion, "Johnny, Get Your Hoe," etc, receiving a hearty encore. Mr. .Dockray congratulated the boys and Igir)ss on the work of previous years, but impressed upon them the impor- tance ot doing still better. At _ the start he said a very small space held their annual exhibit, but year by year it had grown. They had become keen rivals and competitors with their eld- ers, and last year had gone over the top till it was necessary to provide a separate building 'for their exhibits, and to be a judge was no easy mat- ter.' Although many prizes were awarded, many more were deserving, and every boy and girl was to be con- gratulated on the results accomplish- ed. Once more spring is approaching, and it is time to beginning planning for this year. A careful review of last season would be a good thing.

Dr. Irwin, in an inspiring speech, said he admired the ambition of those who had started, in a small way to ac- quire their homes, and he believed that everyone should be given a fair chance, to live, and live comfortably, even the men with small means who had the grit and ambition in them, should have a square deal, and the council should encourage these, as it had been often proved that these men made the, finest citizens. Councillor Gardhouse of Etobicoke Counci, in a few words told how the council was arranging to make im- provements to the roads and district, and that the council was always Will- ing to meet the residents in any way possible.

The burdens following the AVar are so heavy that no person can afford to waste money. Those who do so take a long chance. Not only should peo- ple save, but they should also put their savings into a security of 110- questioned value that will pay well and they can get nothing better than War Savings Stamps. Of the more than 1,000,000 holders of Canadian War Bonds, probably not $10,000 were owners of Canadian gov- ernment securities before the outbreak of war. Ninety-tive per cent. of them had never invested in securities of any kind. The great majority probably were not regular savers. It they do not re-invest in War Sav- ing Stamps at least a portion of their War Bonds interest, there is grave danger that they may be lost to the large army of savers which it is de- sired to recruit in Canada. This would ‘be a misfortune both to themselves and to the Dominion. Holders at Canadian War Bonds in Canada will draw nearly $60,000,000 in interest this year. What will they do with it? It they are Wise. they will re-invest a, large portion of it in War Savings Stamps. It is ot the utmost importance to the country that they should do sso. dj'?.
