Halloween is almost here. and then comes "chill November‘s surly blast" with shortening days, and lo g, dreary nights. The approach of winter is the most cheerless time of the year, and the first hope comes with the winter solstice, when the days begin to lengthen and we look forward to amiroaching spring in all its wrdant grandeur.

The Collingwood Bulletin admits that drunken men are seen there too frequently, but puts the blame on the police, who fail to be on the job. If a town policeman or con- stable has any regard for his repu- tation. he should attend strictly to his duty. or give up the job to some one who will. The position is a necessary one. but by no means a desirable one. Some one has to do it. at the risk of making enemies, and the man in the business who doesn‘t. make enemies is not fit for the job. 5‘ L15 Lux. u.--e- -L. _ W. H.

The local clergymen, Mr. Muter, Mr. Armstrong, and Dr. Taylor, were on the platform, the latter act- ing as chairman. Contributions and subscriptions amounting to 31,710 were taken in at the meeting, and the citizens hope to secure $2000 in all. This is exceedingly creditable. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mortley. Dornoch, was the scene of a pretty wedding at high noon on Wednesday, October 24th, when their eldest daughter. Margaret A.,s was united in wedlock to T.

There is a man in this part of the world who represents, to our way of thinking, a pretty good av- erage of human nature. When- ever the preacher in his church delivers a very hot sermon agalnst some special kind of sin, this man S-Iets enthusiastic and goes around CW WWW“--- ..... V to the vestry to tell the preacher what a fine sermon it was. Then he goes home and repeats it to his brother. and they talk over the points and the peeple the sermon hit the hardest. But this particuâ€" lar man never sees when the serâ€" men hits HIM. Early next month the biggest public campaign ever put on in Canada will be opened to get sub- scriptions for the fourth Canadian war loan. the Victory Loan. The thing people in this district must bear in mind is: that the appeals{ are directed to each and every one! of them. It. is not merely the well.- off men and women who are being asked to invest. It is everybody. The little sermons which will be “preached” in the advertising should not be taken as hints to the well-to-do people only. Every man and woman should watch for these advertisements and start now to gather up the necessary money to buy either a fifty or a hundred or a five hundred or a thousand dollar bond. In the United States there were about 4 subscribers to the first American loan out of evâ€" ery 100 persons. They only re- ceived 31/; per cent. In Canada for the last war loan there were only about 41.000_sub_scribersn or say 4 -4--.JA ‘Ln UUUU ‘21,UUU uuuvv in every 700. Yet {11 Canada 'the Interest was much higherâ€"0n the Victory Bonds t hat Will probably be issued t0_y_ield'about 51/3 p353: UU IDDUCU bu JLULu uuv..- - ,- The first thing anyone should do, in our opinion, is to get rid of the idea that there is any sacrifice in- volved in investing in this loan. It is true that the patriotic spirit is appealed to and it is equally true that a great and generous response is expected on that ground. But the new war loan is a straightaway business proposition: safe, profit- able and convenient. Every man and every woman with as much as fifty dollars to spare should own luty uuuouo w U -___ T pu-v _ one of these new bonds, and not only that, but should help to show others the worth of these bonds by recommending them everywhere. The readers of this paper are a- mong the. most thrifty, prosperous and publicâ€"spirited in the Domin- ion. When the subscriptions to the Victory Loan are added up from the various districts and sub- districts we expect them to show that this part of the great Dominâ€" ion has been true to its traditions and just. to its oppiiirtunities. THE CHRONICLE GOES TO $1.50 AFTER NOVEMBER 17TH. For the past three years, everyâ€" thing used in the production of printing has advanced so much that it is absolutely impossible to give the product at the old rates. We have made some advances on the prices of job work, but the old rate of a dollar a year for The Chronicle has remained just as it was up to the present time. We have found it a losing game. and have decided to fall in line with most other local papers and advance the subscription rate to $1.50 a year. The new rate will come into ef- fect, after Saturday, the 17th of November. Up to that date. all ar-- rears will be accepted at the dolâ€" lar rate. covering the time to De- cember 31st of this year. Between now and the 17th of November, every subscriber, new or old, will be allowed the paper for one year for $1.25. Subscrip- tions not paid by that date will be at the new rate of $1.50 a year. We hope we have made this plain to all. Those now in arrears can pay up to the end of this year at a dollar a year. Those already ,paid up, or new subscribers, may lhaye the paper for 1918 for $1.25 if paid on or before Saturday, No- vember 17th. All paying their 1918! subscription after November 17th will be charged $1.50. We do not need to weary our readers with a lengthy explana- the tion. Everybody understands justice of the advance, and we’ll say no more at presentâ€"more than to advise all who wish to save a quarter to send in their 1918 sub- scriptions at once. The $1.25 rate goes into effect NOW, the 91.50 rate goes into efâ€" fect November 17th. ' Sing me to sleep; The bullets fall. Let me forget The war and all.
