War IS just one week after another

A rather disgrunted man made that remark while ago.
 He seemed to resent being called on to bear his part n all the war activities
 After all, he pretty small minded.
 War IS just one week after another-but for the who is right in the middle of the war it is one week after another of fighting and working and digging and going hungry and getting wet through and trying to get the Boche before the Boche gets him!
 For here at home just one week after another of helping the take of those boys who are doing OUR FIGHTING for us
 Now there comes
 War Stamp Week.
 Ii week in which the retail stores small and large are asked to help Uncle Sam enlist more people in the buy ing of War Stamps.
 You are to be asked to join the War Savings Club If you jon simply pledge yourself to buy at least one War Thrift Stamp every week during the remainder of this year.
 That stamp can be bought from your mailman or at this store or at any of hundreds of other stores
 As understand you will not be checked up to see whether you buy stamps or notyou will be put your honor This stores part is to offer you Monday chance to join the War Savings Club, to sell you stamps if you wish.

 was adopted cordially supporting the steps taken by Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster Unionist leader, "since the present crisis arose."
 These meetings were the outward signs of a general stiffening of the Unionists against home rule since the alliance between the Nationalists and the Sim Feiners against conscription was effected. The Belfast correspond ent of the Morning Post describes the meeting of the Ulster council as "the
 first step of loyal Listers new cam paign to defeat the home rule con- spiracy."
 The meting, he says, was called by Sir Edward Carson in view of the war cabinets failing to keep it's pledges to Ulster, and he adds: @s
 ''Ulster stands today where it did four years ago, in unwavering opposi- ton to home rule. As a matter of fact, the opposition now is stronger than ever because of the terrible Sim Feinn menace, while the action of the Catholic bishops at Maynooth welds all the Unionists into one solid pha- l lanx."
 The latest report with reference to the progress of the Home Rule bill is a statement by the Daily Mail that immediately upon returning from the meeting of the supreme war council | in France Premier Lloyd-George con- | ferred at length with the committed that is drafting the bill with the re- suit, it says, that there is reason to believe a basis for the adjustment o1 the clause dealing with Ulster and with the customs and finance have been found, and that it now is hoped the bill will be presented to parliament before Whitsuntide (May 19.)

yond the price of the army c~anteens
which did not nave any freight

shown that the Y. NJ. c. A. had made
