Sr.. whose death We an- nounced in last issue, took place on Friday to Maplewood ceme- tery. After the arrival of the C. P R. train the remains were taken to the Baptist church, where an appropriate sermon was preached by Rev. Mr. Wylie, his remarks be- ing based on the 58th verse of the 15th chapter of First Corinthians. “Therefore, my beloved brethren be ye steadfast, unmoveable. a1- Ways abounvding in the Work of the Lord. forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” The “Made-in-Canada” idea is likely to get more attention than formerly. Every dollar sent out of the country for foreign-made goods is a dollar lost to circulate amongst our own people.' The German idea 'was to buy no goods only German goods, or goods pro- duced in German colonies. Should we not, as a British peOple, ad- here to the same principle, and buy no goods only British-made goods, or goods made by the British people? Narrowing this idea down. we should limit our purchases as far as possible to goods M’ade-inâ€"Canada, and fail- ing in this to patronize the Brit- ish manufacturer. Let us go a step further and do our buying in our own home town. The principle may seem selfish, but it is never-z theless patriotic.

We have been asked by Manager Catton. to convey the company’s thanks to all who assisted in sav- ing the lumber from destruction, and in this connection we might add that no words of ours can ful- ly express their deep feeling of appreciation for the services ren- dered. Had the lumber been 'des- troyed as well as the mill, it would The sawmill at Dornoeh was des- troyed by fire on Monday night. entailing a loss of two or three thousand dollars to the Durham Furniture Co. who owned and operated the mill for the mist three or four years.’ It is not known how the fire originated. but there are suspicions of incendiar- ism. As the mill, We understand. was in Operation the day previous, it is quite possible it may have started in some Way by a spark from the furnace, but in the ab- sence i better evidence, any opin- ion we may offer is based on "mere conjecture. Fortunately, the wind was favorable, and the damage to lumber was comparatively light. not over a few thousand feet having been destroyed. Fire was first discovered . about 11 o’clock and Manager Catton of the fac- tory was at once notified by tele- phone, and soon made his way there by auto. There was no in- surance on the mill, but the lumber. was partly covered. Another day or two would have finished the season’s cut, making the total output for the season of over half a million feet. The company have mills also at Rock Mills, Ceylon and Durham, and large timber areas in Artemesia, Euphrasia, Glenelg, Egremont and other townships.

The ambitions of the German :7 Kaiser have received a rude jar. : and whatever his future success or :failure may be it seems hard to ;he}ieve that kaiserism is yet ripe to ‘overrun the Whole. world. From the start. the opposition was strong. and the kaiser’s ambition has encountered a series of severe checks. The Opposition of the Belgians. the neutrality of Turkey. the fidelity of Britain to uphold the independence and neutrality of 'Belgium, the Speed of Russia in getting her armies in the field and the intense patriotism of all British possessions to the Mother Land, came in rap-id succession as surprises to the 'War God of the German army. The delay at the outset on entering Belgium caused h1s.und01ng, and the delay gave a chance to the unprepared armies to get in readiness for action. No doubt the kaiser’s ambition: was, first to overrun France and then turn on Russia. Having once! broken through the Belgian front-é ier. a rapid march was made on?
