Mr.. Smith made good logical talk on
the war situation and his talk was en-
joyed by all who heard him. It was un-

meeting was such an inopportune one
otherwise several hundred citizens would
have honored him with their presence.

Consistent with his idea of teach
ing our people the love for the Ameri-
can Flag, MI. Luke L. Bertrand, the
president of the Bertrand Lumber Co. is
having made some two thousand artistic
wooden frames in which he is having
placed under a glass, numerous designs
of scenes during the birth Of this Nation.
The wood work is artistic and the pic
lures printed in beautiful colors and
placed under a glass. At the bottom OF
the frame a 1919 calendar is nicely
tackled and the whole appearance Of the
souvenir is one that each recipient will
be proud. This is one Of the hundred
forms of advertising that have made this
firm the success that it is, and Mr.. Ber-
Ersnd never loses an opportunity to show
his appreciation for the generous mans
ner in which his firm has been treated
by our citizens. Miss Alberta Bertrand
is experimenting the work being done
by the young girls who are giving, the
finishing touches to the lovely calendars.

The honny land Of Harry Lauder
and Cen tHaig has, contributed to
the cause since the outbreak of war
100000 hardy Scots and Canada has
given up SONG 100000 who once
sauntered through Highland wales
and dells. It can be said with safety
that there isn't an able bodied Scot
Of fighting age left in the cities and
villages Of their native land. And
it can also be said that there are
thousands Of little white crosses in
france that mark the graves of de-
parted Jocks
Even greater have been the. deeds
of the Black Watch, the Seaforth
Hghlanders, the Kings Own Scot
fish and the Argyle and Sutherland
Highlanders in this war than in the
days when Napoleon saw their un-
broken fronts at Waterloo and the
Russians theiA tapping kits on the
Crimea. Time and again these regi
suents have been reformed; and
lse-5er once have they emerged from
conflict with anything but victory
and laureIs.

At one time the British government
seriously considered asking the
Highlanders to discard their plaids-
the government would never order
it-because Of their conspicuousness.
Even though he realized this would

The Tale Of Tho Wee Scots.

Every time they entered a trench
the fire step had to be built up-also
the parapet. Likewise the relieving
battalion had to reconstruct the
whole works to suit their height.
AS fortune would have it the wee
lads were going into a position just
vacated by the Grenadier Guards.
All the grenadiers are six feet tall.
They make up one of England 9 i'm

one Of the Kingdoms greatest and
Oldest collection Of fighters.

of the grenadiers.

grenadiers couldn't take" piped
little Scotchman.
And they did.
Fair play is legendary with the
Scot. Strange to say it is something
the German doesn It like.
When Scotchman attacks with a
bayonet he singles out his adversary.

The Germans Learn A Lesson.
Scotch troops are one type that
Germans will never maltreat.
One day Prussians captured a half
dozen Scotchmen, stripped them and
sent them across No Man 8 land to
their own lines. As the men reached
the center of the death strip, the
Germans turned loose their machine
guns.
The Highlanders in the trenches,
without .barrage or as much as a
shot, went over with one bound with
their bayonets and cleaned out every
Prussian in the opposing trench.
The Scotch think well of the
Prussians-as fighters; pretty we'll
of the Bavarians and are filed with
compassion for the Saxons.
'Were it not for the fact the
Prussians mix their n-commis-.
stoned officers in with the Saxons,n
said Sergt. Boyle, they would do
little fighting. The Saxon hates the
Prussian and the Ptussian has only
contempt for the Saxon.'
This led to little story. .

They went methodically about their

spirit.
