Issued by Canada's Victory Loan Committee, in co-operation with the Minister of Finance of the Dominion of Canada. Ydurs truly, m! While the war is now happily over, it should be generally understood that we are still living under war condi- tions in regard to some economic mat.. ters. Canada is an exporting country, particularly in the matter of agricul- tural produce. Our prosperity as farmers depends to a very large de- gree on our exports. On the other hand many of the countries of Eu- rope which desire to import our pro- duce are so impoverished as a result ot the war that they are unable to pay cash.' They therefore must look to countries which can give them cred.. it for the time being. There are countries such as the United States which are in a position to supply pro- duce on credit, and unless Canada is enabled to meet this competition the results must be disastrous to this country. This loan is therefore re- quired to some extent to enable Can- commend the Victory Loan, 1918, to the farmers of Ontario.The confidence then expressed has been more than justified. The present increased mar- ket value ot the Loan of one year ago is the best evidence of the soundness of the investment. Again I have pleasure in commend.. ing the Victory Loan, 1919. As an investment it is recommended by all the reasons which were recited in fa- vor ot the Loan of a year ago and some others as well. Bearing good interest and being simple and safe, it is an investment which any indiv- idual can look after for himself or herself without any outside assist- ance. This is an important matter, particularly to small investors. The Hon. Mr. Henry commends the Loan as a sound, safe and profitable investment? and as a means of showing appreciation of the ' splendid victory which has brought security and free- dom to the homes and property ot the present and succeeding generations in this favored country." Here is the Hon. Mr. Henry’s letter: One year ago I had occasion to T The Hon. George S. Henry, Minister ot Agriculture for Ontario, has issued a letter to the farmers of Ontario in which he commends the new Victory Loan. The Minister of Agriculture emphasizes the importance of Canada maintaining her favorable agricultural position, reminds farmers that their prosperity depends to a considerable -degree on her exports of surplus pro- ducts and that the Loan is required to some extent to provide credits to Great Britain and other countries tor the purchase of Canada's wheat and oth- er foodstuffs. Minister of Agriculture Urges Farm- ers of Ontario to Support Loan . as a Sound, Safe and Profit.. able Investment HENRY SUPPORTS 'nich were recited in fa- oan of a year ago and as well. Bearing good being simple and safe, tir. Henry’s letter: had occasion to y Loan, 1918, to VIC/TORY LOAN 412 The cost of the war can now be at least approximately measured as far as the financial aspect is concerned, and Canada emerges in possibly a stronger financial position than any other' country engaged in the conflict for a similar length ot time. In Ger- many the mark has depreciated to about one-sixth of its pre-war value. The Canadian dollar has depreciated only a few cents even in foreign coun- tries, and this will be readily ad.. justed by the maintenance of pro- duction. This contrast is not only an indication of the soundness of Cana- da's financial position at the present time, but is one standard by which the difference between defeat and vie- tory can be measured. I therefore commend this loan as a sound, safe amid profitable investment and as a means of showing apprecia- tion of the splendid victory which has brought security and freedom to the homes and property ot the present and succeeding generations in this favored country. . . It is frequently noted that this is the first loan to be offered to the citi- zens of Canada apart from the stimu- lus of actual war conditions, and it is feared by some that this fact will mean an absence of patriotic fervor ‘which will lessen the popularity of the Loan of this year. Such certainly should not be the case. Any lessening of patriotic fervor should be more than offset by a knowledge of the en- hanced security. So long as the War continued loans were subject to the possibility of disaster in the field and uncertainty as to thelmgth of time required to assure absolute victory. The loan of 1919 is absolutely tree from these possibilities, and the se- curity is therefore that much strong- er than any in the past. ada to sell our surplus broduce on credit. .It s also required to enable the country to diSCharge its proper obligations to those who have served overseas. Both these considerations are ot vital importance to the farmers of this Province. Sonny's folks had sent him a gen- erous cheque as a birthday gift and in honor of the" day he had invited four girls and three boy college friends And years passed on and Sonny was through his grammar school days and was well On with his studies as a civil engineer. Sonny was tyxcep- tionally bright and even now he had big ideas of what he was going to do when he had a business all his own some day. And like many other boys of his age, a few beers a day and sometimes a little dinner with stronger drink was not an unfrequent event. Then-it happened on Sonny's Twentieth birthday. Almost unbe- 1ievable--so unexpected - altogether unthought of. A year passed by and old Joe would laugh and pat the boy on the back whenever Sonny would pass his glass for some more beer. They were hap- py then, and many and many a night did old Joe and Mother talk and plan out things they meant to do for Sonny. Op on his chair he jumped, clapping his hands and taking a beer bottle that his father had just emptied, wav- ed it above his head, while he called on his father to see the wonderful deed he had done-and old Joe, with joy and merriment sparkling in his eyes, reached down to the floor for another bottle of beer and pouring some in Sonny's glass, then filled his own; they clinked glasses and drank to the health of the boy. After a time Mother drew the,cake up close to Sonny and old Joe struck a match and touched a light to each of the four candles, and Sonny drew in a full breath and expanded his lit- tle manly chest, then bending forward blew all four lights out with one putt, And then, there was old Joe-they always called Joe "old" Joe, because he had a, big heart and befriended all and seemed like a father to many a. young lad. Yes, old Joe was there and had his great easy chair pulled up close behind Sonny's chair, and really he seemed but a big boy himself. , The day of the party, and it seems but a short time ago, little Sonny was seated at the party table-seated at the head of the table as the guest of hon- or, and six of his little friends from his Sunday School class were seated at the table with him. A big cake, with tour candles, was placed in the centre of the table, and around the cake was piled high with grapes, or- anges and candles, and hadn't Sonny's mother been busy all morning baking and preparing for Sonny's party. Just sixteen years ago to-day Sonny celebrated his fourth birthday. And what a change has taken place in the lives of Joe and Sonny and Mother'. The men spoke in whispers for a moment, then turned and walked slowly away from the darkened home. Stopping in front of the church -- the church where old Joe was a mem- ber and where Sonny had gone to Sunday School and church before he had gone away to College--'--' men gazed at the darkened house a short distance down the street. It was such a, contrast to the usually well-lighted home, where formerly a welcome fair- ly bursted from every door and win- dow in this home. But to-night the blinds were drawn and only one nar- row little streak of light escaped from a bedroom window upstairs, and that light was in Sonny's mother's room. "Perhaps we had better take a Walk around and see old Joe." So without another word norranother drink the two men left the saloon to go to their friend's home. "No. Not this time. I am afraid Sonny has finished his run, and I wouldn't be surprised if it killed old Joe." ' f‘Well, Mac, you know it will go hard on poor old Joe, and he has been cursing the day that he voted "wet" ever since the boy started .going strong." ' "Sure he has," replied his friend, "but what of it? It's not a straight case against the kid, and just between you and me, I believe old Joe has enough pull to fix things all right for the boy." The first speaker appeared to be very uneasy and even declined an in- vitation to have a drink. His friend, however, tossed off a glass of whis7 key. "Tough luck about Joe's boy, eh ?” "I'll say it is!" And the two speakers, men around forty years ot age, walked side by side in silence to the corner saloon and went inside.. Written for The Times & Guide By LESLIE BURTAIN "SONNY" Mothers and fathers of Weston - Mothers and fathers of Ontario-. can you risk a vote that might perchance place you in old Joe's and Bonny's mother's place? Don't risk ltr. Please don't, for the sake of the thousands of little 'Sonnys" in our own homes and country to-day, who will be men in a, few short Years-and surely, surely, better men--- And as old Joe's friends stood on the walk in front of the home from which the one little streak of light escaped from, an upper window, old Joe was breathing his last beside Sonny in a prison cell, where he had heard Sonny say: "Dad, I'm sorry, sorry'. Sorry for you and mother, and oh! now, how I regret that you voted "wet" at the election after the war," _ Remember how he had. waved a bottle above his head sixteen years ago, and old Joe. and Sonny had clink- ed glasses and drank to the boy's health? But t6-night the spirit' had changed, and a strong arm flourished the bottle-mot in joy, but in blind- drunken anger-and, surely no one will deliberately accuse Sonny of mur- der-but the bottle struck one of the girls in a vital spot behind the ear and she fell on the table, strewed with broken glasses and empty bottles, burnt matches and cigarettes - fell dead--Sonny's own girl, killed by his own hand. It was Sonny's deal and the charm from his watch chain-the charm which held a miniature photo of old Joe and Mother, was at stake, and cards were being drawn again, when the girl next to him accused him of cheating. In a surprisingly short time the po- lice had locked Sonny-old Joe's and Mother's Sonny-behind steel bars. In a rage, his face pale as in death, he jumped up on his chair and seized an empty wine bottle and waved it above his head. After the dinner had been finished, at which wine and beer had flowed freely, someone suggested that they have a game of cards. Laughing and joking, and all care-free, they sat in for a game of poker for which a small limit had been placed. The, god of luck seemed to have de- serted Sonny tor-night, and he lost hand after hand. But Sonny was a real sport. When his money was gone he put his watch on the table at a. price-and lost. The little diamond pin that his mother hadagiven him also changed hands. up to his rooms for the evehing to help him celebrate his twentieth birthday. v, NEL%%§%§CMAIGN "--, £0 ok to "i"iii""g future WITHOUT THE BOOZE.
