It is the duty of the Governâ€" ment to arm, equip and maintain the troops. Not a dollar do the Federal authorities give to the Patriotic Fund. This work depends solely on the paâ€" triotism and generosity of our own people. Thousands of brave men are fighting our battles, believing that we meant what we said when we told them as they went forward:â€""Go and | we will care for the wife and kid-l dies."

A jittle excitement has been caused in a Hay. market shop by the request that an assorted lot of these knives should b» sent to the War Office. The order is more likely to mean that one or two officers in the building are about to proceed to the front than that Lord Kitchener is seriously considering the issue of such weapons to the rank and file.

He sees in those admirably equipped factories the opportunity for trade development at present undreamed of as soon as the war is over.
