GARRY ON

1t is the wars commonest phrase
and its best one for England. The
soldier writes to his wife: carry on"
The wife writes back: carry on"
England echoes minute by minute with
carry on'' Several million men in
his majesty's uniform must, it seems,
die. The Germans do not yield. France
lacks men. Russia lacks material. The
government at London has material
and 1t has men. 1t was late in getting
them. Now it must pay. And they
must pay. out Of every British do
minion they must die. out of England
they must die out Of every street. They
know they must. Their women know
they must And they say their deepest

WHERE the BLAME BELONGS.

1t is evident that our people are far
too credulous. easy going and uncom-
planning over the constantly increased
cost OF living. They have come to
believe that the increase in prices Is
inevitable. The effort Of the individ-
ual to even up by getting an increase
Of wages or, If he Is a small dealer, to
add to the prices Of his goods is Short
sighted. He will not get very far with
that method. The only way to get a
square deal is for the government to
reach out with q strong hand and re-
adjust conditions of living to a normal
and fair basis

ing practiced it may be well to look

Under the general classification of
those who furnish aid or comfort to
the enemy are the weeds in the garden.
That opinion has been handed down
officially by the department. Of agri-
culture. It follows therefore that every
gardener who is a patriot will attack
these enemies without warning. Small
boys and girls can be safely employed
for this form of warfare. The whole
family must labor in the garden
