Here- in Canada ma__ny of us have fallen into the truéy Anglo-Saxon habit of consideijng the “ Mother of arliaments " slow and a bit behind the times. The present pnce of rubber, when its cause is revealed, adords one of the many proofs that such an opinion is away off the mark. _ Thanks to great rubber dplantations established, in the _face of criticism an ridicule, many years before in her trogical Dominions, Great Britain at the outbreak of t e war held a firm and tightening grip on the world’s supply of raw rubber-a grip reinforced by her dominating navy. From 60% in |914, the production of these plantations has grown this year to 75% of the whole world’s output, leav- ing only about half the requirements of the United States alone to come from all other sources. The result has been that the needs of the Allies, enormous though they are, have been plentifully supplied, while Germany has been reduced to regis- tered mails and the "Deutschland" in desperate attempts to mitigate her rubber famine. Neutrals have been allowed all the rubber they want, at prices actually lower than before the war, so long as they prevent any of it from reaching the enemy, while Canada an other parts of the Empire have an abun- dant supply at equally favorable Government-regu- lated prices. In this foresight and generosity of the British Government lies the reason why rubber alone. ot all the great staples. has not gone up in ps-lee-why rubbers sud overshoes, in spite of increased oost oi fabric. chemicals and labor, are as inexpensive ss ever, while shoes are costing several dollars a pair more. Wearing rubbers or overehoes through this winter to protect these expensive shoes is more than practical thrift-it is grass- ful patriotism. for in thus saving leather we make it easier tor the Government to secure the absolutely necessary supplies of this alarminsly wares material for our soldiers.

On Thurs- day last, Alvin Carter a fine sturdy boy of fourteen took blood poison from a small cold sore on his lip. All medical aid was of no avail and after a great deal of suffering he passed peacefully away on Saturday momlng. Ahe Altar boys among whom he had hitherto ranked headed the long funeral procession from his home to the church, followed by his school fellows from whose number he is sorely missed, Six of his former companions acted as pallhe-nrers. Funeral service and interment took place on Sunday at 3 p. m. ' And yet ii still greater shock awitedhis be- reaved ones, for on returning from the' funeral mass the following morn# ing, they found their second oldest son too had passed away. George had been in failing health foi some months but the end came sudden and unexpected. He was 23 years of age. a general favourite with all who knew him. They le-ave to mourn be- sides their sorrowing parents three time ago in Western Canada, Fred and ‘Raymond at home, three sisters Ethel, Vida and Edna at home. The sincere sympathy of the whole com- munity goes out to the sorrowing fa- mily in their double bereavement.- Y. eeiprbfbi-suwiiitarvisi-vc- ' -" - .I i.‘.|“..I-.‘ii'_.if..“-"_`i‘_"."`1 I ‘“"'Il"{~ l'."` "5'>1.“=Mv.Tl0wins go we ¢§pii°nii"i`if¢ai'§h° ia' i>`iIimi'°c'i»'..iii‘y, F” m EL' t M3 W9!" °'f» U19 °d°‘l\1° patrons.
