Mr. Armstrong said he was glad nat in this’ probibition campaign the -chiperance people had a platform to sy belore the people With on which all ie people in evéry part of the prov- uve could enter whole ‘heartedly into che fight.

St Ambrose church was filled to ‘its capacity last Sunday evening, the oc- casion being a farewell service for the Redcljff boys who are with. the
* mounted rifles, and expect to be taking their places in the trenches in the very near future. Rev. A. G. Wilkin, who is also a member of the mounted rifles, preached the sermon.; He took
' 4 for his text Matthew ix and’ 2ist: “If I may but touch His garment I shall
be whole.” The eloquence of. the preacher’s sermon was in its sim- plicity. In a very convincing manner
° he impressed upon the congregation the importance, faith, love, prayerful-
» ness and service as the fundamentals ‘in all Christian religion and worship,
‘ The faith which prompted the poor “ woman to uSe the words of the text should be the spirit which ‘animated all Christian worship,- else our our pre’ence éven-at church was hypoc- risy. In our words .and actions we should have a firm faith in the pres- ence and nearness of Christ if we ‘would touch tHe hem of his garment, In concluding Mr, Wilkin rem the soldiers of the serious step they were about to take and admonished *, them to “fight the good fight” and so goyern themsq@ves that day by ‘day they would be drawing nearer to the
hem of the Master's garment. .
Before the closing hymn was sung the vicar, Rev. H, C.

-CA‘TRIBUTE TO REDCLIFF”
By Felipe Andrada, of the-8td ¢.M.R.
The little Tawn of Redcliff, on the South Saskatchewan, ; When the mother country called for aid, when first the war began, Her -citizens never faltered, not to business cares gave heed,
But sent-a hundred of her mer, all of a fighting breéd.
Some Avere men in business, and somé advanced in life,
They never stopped to think of self, but of the coming strife. And now upon the far battle line, up. the honor roll,
Comes back those names of heros, Redcliff is paying toll.
Just a little factory town, scarcely known to fame.
She is doifig: her part, for Canada, bringing glory to her name, Her factories may lie idle, afd her children may need bread, And many a heart be desolate, let her glory in her dead.
All henor to this little town, upon Alberta’s plain,
Her best and bravest men are gone, and those not with the slain Will do their duty bravely, for the land ofthe Maple Leaf,
So that if Redcliff weeps today, pride s mingled with her grief.

We have made inquiries and find it is because the diamond here is not yet in condition for playing on. The committee have been delayed in.this work on account of the wet weather last week but they have now started at it and expect to have the grounds in shape fot a game next week. At present the Redcliff boys ‘are compelled to play all their league games in the Hat. They have a game on tomorrow evening with the C.P.R, and another one on Monday.

A GOOD EXAMPLE = * Judging from | the press com- * ment, which is a fair indication ‘of the sentimnts of the people, the United States is setting an example to the world by . the whole-hearted manner in which it is backing up the president in this time of cricis in that couwn- try. Irrespective of politics or party the people throughout the Union are standing by President Wilson and upholding his hands. In Great Britain at the present ‘time there is a probability’ a coalition cabinet will be formed in the near future when Lib- erals, Unionists and Labor lead- érs will work side by side in the new cabinet for the common good of the whole Empire. These two incidents furnish food for thought and set sn ex- ample which might well be fol- lowed by the politicians and press of this country.

Since the sinking of the Lusi- tania there has been a growing feeling of hatred throughout the whole civilized world against | the German nation. feel- ing has probably been more no- ticeable and more expression given to their feelings by those in sympathy- with the , British | ~ Empire and her allies. ' Pogsib- ly in no walk of life has this feel- ing of disapproval and disgust at this inhuman act been more ‘plainly shown than in what is known as the laboring class. And after all they are the back bone of any country and they are usually on the side of hu-

In this matter they have not’ been slow to take a stand and in Many . cases have refused to

. _ Ever since the start of the war |! citizens of the Empire’s enemies ' have been treated fairly in Can- ada and they have been just as safe and probably safer here’ than they would have: been in their own tountry, yet they must remember that«when the the British Empire is at war with their fatherland Canada is also at war with it, and unless

While we are firm belivers in

For any such we have the greatest contempt and it is placing them- sélves on the same level when any of the employers of labor in this country keep such men on their pay roll when, other loyal British subjects | are looking for work,
So far Redcliff has bepn free from any unpleasant develop- ments in this connection but rumor has it that there is a pes- sibility of something of this ra- ture inthe near future unless satisfactory. arrangements are made. We trust that both em: ployers dnd-employees will deal

RALLY. AT THE HAGUE,
Tha London Mail quotes Mary Boyle
O’Rejley, the American writer and
social worker, as saying that she was
robbed by German officials at War- memuende, while on her way: to The Hague to represent the Women’s English
, speaking people, and was ordered ex-
cluded from Germany.
Miss O’Rielly says that her bag- gage was searched at Warmemuende and her letters of introduction, books, a piece of English gold and some Rus- sian-made toys were confiscated.
“I then had to submit to a brutal
i personal search,” she continued, “My | dresses and“ even the boots I was ' wearing Were ripped open and I was
ordered to return to the_boat..-My passport was marked, “Forbjdden to enter Germany.”
“While I was in the boat a’ German officér asked me, ‘Do you wish the Fatherland to be victorious?’* I re- plied ‘No,’ After further questions he said: “The Americans are send-+ ing England the ammunition without which the English could not beat us, Damn! the Americans!”

It is stated on excellent authority that Sir ‘thomas Shaughnessy, head or the Canadian Pacific Railway, has placed at- the disposal of the allied governments the purchasing system of ‘the company, organized by Sir ‘thomas himself 80 years ago, and Sitce then brought to a high state of efficiency, and that a large part. of the purchasing for for these govern-_ ments will be done through this most business-like organization undey the
supervision of the president of the |

Of the Unionist Andrew Bonar Law, the opposition leader in the house of sommons, former Premier Arthur J. Balfour, Lord Derby and.

Canada can put Germans in the Domjnion into concentration camps, but she is unable to seize their wealth, which, as a result of a warning sent by wireless from Berlin to Dr. Dern- burg was transfered to United States banks on July: 14, 10 days before the beginning of the war, said the official

MIXED mr | AND MILL FEEDS
Bran, etc., Higher in States—Possible Depletion of Neetied Canadian , Supplies antes 3 The biggest question of all perhaps in the’ free wheat! controversy is that of millfeeds or offal. .It seems rather unreasonable that just at this time, when there is such a necessity for renewed activity in cattle raising, we
should take action’ which would re- sult in depleting our already too meagre supply of mill ‘feeds. ‘The
raising of cattle and all its allied in- dustries, such as dairying and egg producing, are dependent on an abun- dant and reasonably priced supply of mill feeds. At the present time the dairy. farmér in. the Bastern | Town: ships” or Eastern Ontario is paying aboyt $20 to $21 per ton for bran and has difficulty in getting supplies ow- ing to the fact that the price across the border in the New England States is. much higher, In that district the Canadian, miller can realize from $1 tu $2.25 more. per ton by selling in
the United states after paying freight 5
and all other charges. If the duty were taken off, prices in Canada wonld necessarily be forced ur ‘o those of the United States and Canadian far- mers. would probably pay from $3 to $5' more per ton for their feeds’ and would have a smaller supply | from which to draw. . : Milling Boosts ‘Mixed Farming
_ Turning to Western | Canada, we have geen mills spring up in Moose Jaw, Calgary, Medicine Hat and many ote points in the West t the’ past fe’
blessing for-the Western Grain Grower and the mixed’farmer alike. |The local demand for: milling wheat has stiffened the price-in every milling fentre. It has relieved the car. short- |) age question. It has provided a supply of mill feeds right at the door of the tarmer* who owns cattle, something that he did not have west of Winnt peg until two years ago. Nearly every one is agreed that before the West will be on sound lines it must raise more cattle. That a movement in this
direction is dlready started is shOwn
by the fact that the entire offal out- put of the Ogilvie mill at Medicine Hat is absorbed readily within a few miles of that city, and the demand is tor stil] ‘more. If we take the duty off, many of the mills in Western Canada will. have to close down, or at least lessen their production, as it is obvious that if ‘tlre United States miller comes in and takes some of the trade there will mot be as much’ trade for the Canadian miller, The Minneapolis mills “ate, ‘particularly well situated to conxpete” with the Canadian mills under free trade con- ditions in Western Camada, and every bag of flour they sell in Canada not
only lessens the production of flour
of the Canadian mill in the West, but, more important, reduces the amount of feeds available for Camadian cattle.
In granting Great Britain fifty, per cent. preference, or free trade, the consumer would not notice the benefit,
This is clearly illustrated by what \s |]
happening in the woollen trade at the oresent time. 7a
