-' 'THE TIIRIFT (,‘.»\Ml’.\IGl\'

ii "

. _.i \ xiii ~_ ` ' ' ‘ .jr ’ *-

Th_e_,thr_i._ft c'amp_aign_ recently launched

iii” Canada, is bearing fruit and promises tc become a real live movement.The press,tht pulpit, the government, patriotic societies and indeed all regular organizations, fra- ternal and otherwise, are counselling thrift. This is not a fad. It is the prudent, cautious, earnest advice of men and wo- men who have studied the situation, wht have regarded with well founded fear thc lavish expenditure of abnormally lavish incomes during the past few years. Extra:

_vagance has become a disease, stimulates

by the exceptional abundance of money money from higher wagés"than usual, mo- ney received from military sources, earneo or unearned. It is unnecessary to elaborate this. Extravagancc heretofore undream- ed of has been rampart, is rampant now, and unless curbed will lead to conditions which will be very much worse than be fore the larger 'incomes were being rec- eived. That very many men and women are rec- eiving more money today than they evei did before is unquestionable. How are the_\ using it? Very generally for extravagan- ces and non-essentials without a thoughi of laying by at least a portion of it for a rainy day.

Within a short time,_ probably a fevi

weeks, another Victory Loan will be laun- ched and this will afford an opportunity for people of moderate incomes to make e perfectly save investment which will as- sure them a good rate of interest, with thc satisfactory assurance also of helping thi country carry its heavy war burden. Ni. better place than a victory bond can bi found for the savings that, with a little ef- fort and a little self-sacrifice, may easily be laid aside. As to the safety of the invest ment it is absolute. The *whole dominion if pledged for the amount and all the res ources of Canada a_re behind it. The thinp is to save up for it, to resolve to take ad- vantage of it, to determinedly resist thf temptation to buy anything that can bc done without and to spend nothing except what is absolutely unavoidable--and' then invest these savings where they are per- fectly safe and whence they will yield a steady stream of interest, be it ever sf small.

-imi-_ THE EXHIBITION

,, ._l. _

Only a week now remains before the op-

ening of the Provincial Exhibition. Every arrangement, to the minutest detail has beencompleted by the management for the maki_ng ofthe biggest exhibition ye; held in Charldttetown and there is every prospect of its being a huge success. Ad- vices and enquiries received from outsidf sources indicate that the attendance will

be a record one. The one unceiiain feature

in connection with the arrangements is

the housing of visitors. It is unnecessary to say that the hotels and boarding houses

will not be sufficient to accommodate all; it therefore remains for the citizens to co- operate with the hotels and with the management in making such provision that all who come may be assured in ad- vance of accomodation. It is pleasing to learn that many of the best homes in the city have already been cheerfully .placed at the disposal of the management, not for thesaket of renumeration which it will bring but for the purely patriotic purpose of ensuring the success of the exhibition. These have handed their names to the Soc- retary but many more are still needed and the names of any who can l-et one or more rooms, either with or without board, will be gratefully received. ` It is necessary that all who are willing to assist in this way should hand in their

names at oiépe, as the principal enquiry from abroa is with reference to accom-

ious to have the assurance beforehand in order to be in a position- to guarantee ac- commodation. It is sincerely hoped, for the sake of the city’s good name as well as for the success of the exhibition, that all Xhgjpkssiblyzcen, ev_eii_ai. the cqst_of a lit-

'°ond largest "railway system under one

“freeing of ourselves from the enemy ac- cording to plan,” as Berlin euphemis- tically describes the _ German rout, can- not be carried out. Whenever it is at- tempted they find the “enemy” at their heels. »

The only alternative is whether the

Germans shall surrender Cambrai ~oi' L_aon first, but it is only a question of time when both must -go. In other words, shall Flanders and Lille be given ‘ip-first and an att-einpt be made to hold the Champagne until next spring or.vice versa? In the former case what is left of the submarine bases at Ostend and Zeebrugge- little though itlis- must be given _up and the failure of the entire campaign be admitted. In the other it means a far less defensive front yielded, and the consequent saving of man power. It is a very diflicult problem for the haughty German commander, and the personal element enters into it also, as the campaign for Amiens and the Chann- nel ports was his own.

To the Allies, of course, Laon would

be more important, as upon it hinges the German front running east of Verdun 'ind that stretching north to the Belgian coast. With ,Laon gone both lines would collapse. With Cambrai lost it is con- ceivable that the Germans would try to lrang on to Lille and Valenciennes with their_ railway connections to Le Cateau, Guise, Laon and the Chemin des Dames. Therefore it is more likely that the Ger- mans will abandon Cambrai first, al- though it is the most important base be- tween Laon and the North Sea. The British are within four miles of it now, while the French have eight miles to go to reach Laon and in more diiiicull’ country.-New'York Herald.

SOUTH Al"RI(‘-.-\ _

South Africa _has conquered more Ger-

man territory than all .the Allies combined. German Southwest and German East Af- rica are huge- areas of rich country only lacking development. i _ But South Africa’s contribution to the war is not limited by her achievements on_. her own borders. She raised 40,000 troops for these campaigns, but she sent 60,000 to ‘ other war theatres including Europe. She suppressed one rebellion of her own citi- zens and she prevented another gaining headway. She has built miles upon miles of new railway and now controls the sec-

management in the world. She has become self-supporting and food-shortage is un- known. Her exports to Great Britain of - maize, wool and leather have grown ‘enor- mously.-V-ancouver World.

Before the war Canada imported butter

at the rate of 7,000,000 pounds annually. This country is -now exporting at the net rate of over 4,000,000 pounds per annum.

GOMPERS 'IN JENGLAND

- The 'arrival'of Samuel Gompers in Eng- land is quite properly regarded as an ev- ent of great consequences. All classes of Britishers will welcome the chance bf pay- ing honor to a man who has done so much for the Allied cause, just as we in Canada have done. Three men in_ our history have been greeted on the floor of our House of Commons, while that body was in session -the envoy and ex-minister of the.French republic, M. Viviani, the British foreign minister and ex-premier, Mr. Balfour, and the leader.of the labor forces of the Uni- ted States. While Mr. Gompers is not like- ly to interfere directly in the affairs of the British labor party, his presence in the old land must greatly strengthen‘the‘rnajority element which is opposed to having any ne? gotiations wi-th the representatives of en- emy countries. He h_as lived practically all his _life in the United States but he was born sixty-eight years ago in London. -

NOTES

The crews of German ships, interned in-

Chilian harbors are systematically des- troying the machinery. It is said that the sabotage is practically complete.-The right of sanctuary in neutral harbors has been accepted by Germans everywhere. The _re-_ turn for the hospitality afforded is typical

l lambs will be placed with breeders at a fixed cost of $25.00 delivered and ycarlings

at $30 oo regard css of the first cost price of the, animals. It will, be seen 'thatithisv is a reasonable offer in view ofthe fact that som: breeders in this Province have sold their season’s supply at $5ooo per head. Ewe lambs and nature breeding

ewes will cost $25.00 and over according to breeding and quality.

All animals will be eligible for registration Should you intend to purchase -

a pure bred ram or a number ofewes, it wtlt be necessary that you deposit the cost price with the Department of Agriculture, as has be fn d me for other years at
