Make Sure That This District Goes Over The Top Thornbury is leading the urban municipalities up to Wednesday neon in Grey County with 16.9 per cent of the objective reached, while Flesherton was coming right along with 18,200 or 16,4; Euphrasia has $12,700 or 10.6 per cent; .A.rtemesia 11030 or 8.2; Proton $5,600 or 5.9; Osprey $3,100 or 3.4; Markdale $2,- 650 or 2.2 and Glenelg with $550 cr .8 of its objective reached. When the ninth Victory Loan campaign, which opened on Monday, closes its books in less than three weeks, are we in Flesherton, Ar- temesia and Osprey going to be able to say, "We've gone 'over the top' again!" Grey County has always been one of the ace-high commit- tees in investing in Victory Ek>nds. standing fifth among 62 Ontario districts in the last loan, and we feel confident that the loyal citizens of this banner coun'ty will fully measure up again. The quotas on all sides are higher, because the money raised is to cover the require- ments for one year, thus saving the effort and expense of two smaller loans, one of which would have had :o be floated now and another next spring. This is a big advantage for -hose citizens who buy bonds on the '.nstalment plan, as the interest they ^arn will carry the bonds for a '.welve-month period. This means vou can afford to buy TWICE AS MANY this time! By investing your money in Vic- tory Bonds you not only help pre- vent inflation now but you provide a back-log of -securitv and purchas- ing power FOR THE "FUTURE. The r.inth Victory Loan might aptly be described as an investment in -.hankfulness that the war is finally over. Furtheriiiore, you can have â- A hand in the writing of the peace. as a large portion of the funds will be use<.l for rehabilitation and in aretting our returned men into peace- ful pursuits. They won the war for us, now we must win the peace for them. While it is true that Canada can write P.\ID over the wooden cross- is whL<;h mark the graves of her be- loved dead in far-off soil; nor can the debt to the maimed, and blind, and the bereaved, be erased by money, yet there are obligations which can be f>aid in dollars and cents, and the happy part of it is, you and I can have a part in it. Your money, invested in Victory Bonds, can be used to care for the wounded and sick and help restore them to health, veterans who have returned must be paid their war service gratuities and re-establish- ments credits, trained for new jobs and ?iven a good start in civilian life, many thousands of servicemen have yet to be brought home and they mu.«t be paid, fed. housed and their transsportation financed, vast sums must be spent, invested would be a better w^ord. on the nation's re- 49 BOXES CLOTHING COLLECTED BY W.

The ladies cf th Women's Institute have been in charge of the collection of the used clotiiing and Monday afternoon finished packing and 49 boxes of clothing for use o: suffering people in Europe, were sent to headquarters in Toronto. This diserict can always be counted upon to do its share for any just or good cause.
