He gave the soldiers their choice on the menu, but their requests were so moderate that he added items to each man‘s choi¢e. It appeared that the Chinaman conducting the cafe considâ€" ered that the meals ordered .by. the men, ever when augmented by ‘the doctor‘s ‘extra were not sufficient for soldiers of the Emplre for he also ‘added to each and every orde‘ When. the doctor noticed the orders as finally delivered, he ‘did a little m;ental arxthmetic So far as he could estiâ€" mate ‘the cost, each meal would require at least seventy-five cents to settle. Though not a rich man in this world‘s goods, the: doctnr 4s rich m' something . much greaterâ€"tich in human kindness: â€"rich in generous patriotism. His glance at the. full meals before them raised no other thought than that he had enough money to foot the bill in full, and more. So the doctor and his soldier. friends turned â€"all their attention to enjoying the genuine meals before them. When this was over, the doctor called for his bill. "How much for all of "Not fifty cents each! Just fifteen cents each!" replied the Chinaman. "But fifteen cents would not begin to meet the‘.] cost of meals like that," the doctor commented, * A m-‘mgwn medical man. from. .South Porcuâ€" pine m mtm'nmg from the South when ‘he en* countered a group of five soldiérs attempting to hifi}(hfhike,théir way North for a leave..

The Chinaman had already calculated all that. "Fifteen cents each"‘ was his answetr. "Fifty cents each?" asked the docter "That is more than reasonable. It‘s generous!" In those words are summed up the true essence of patriotism and of dutyâ€"Each do his or her bit. Such a philosophy means Victory. The Chinaman‘s finpl reply as he insisted that the price was only fifteeen cents was this:â€"â€" "The soldiers do their bit. You do your bit T do my bit." 4 Last week The Advance received a letterâ€"from the settlers at Val Rita, asking for aid in securing a fair deal. A group of the settlers wrote to "The Advance, in part, as follows:â€"‘"We know the value and independence of your paper and the way you always stick for a just cause, and we come to you, hoping you‘ll make our cause yours, and fight it through your valuable paper and make the proper authorities‘sit up and come through. The cause is this: After having used all the arguments we know towards the Ministerâ€"of Labour and Hon. T. B. McQuesten, Minister of Highways, we are still forced to work for 21 cents per hour and furnish our own tools. This is iniquitous when the cost of living is so high and taxed in every way. This is the third summer this has been going on. We are all old settlers who cannot go outside or cut pulpâ€" wood to earn a living, but we all have families to support." The Advance is glad to be able to take up a batâ€" tle of this sort. But there should be more than The Advance in such a fight. The member for North Cochrane should ‘be an active force. Pérâ€" haps, the member for Cochrane in the Dominion House could assist,. South Cochrane has no repreâ€" sentative in the Provincial Parliament at the preâ€" sent time, but there are committees arranged t;o1 look after the interests of the riding and thesel might well assist in a matter that is of vital imâ€" portance to all the North. The‘ Northern Ontario. Associated Boards of Trade should amlso take a: part in such a battle. It used to dbe the boast of the Associated Boards <that the North had the three basic industriesâ€"the forest industries, the mining industry and agriculture. From time to time organizations and influence are brought to bear for the welfare of the forest industries and mining but it does seem that agriculture, Canada‘s vital basic industry, is not given the interest and support that it should have. Agriculture can show »no. impressive paym!l and in the North its emâ€" ployees can not be numbered by the tens of thouâ€" sands. At the same time, agriculture is vital to the development and stability of the country. It hawmmonsamns-â€"smavery true oneâ€"that amining depends on the prospector. ‘It is equally tor, mining will s0on prove a.dwindling indusâ€" mutthemu the settler there can m h'ne demamt ammare Not only APPEAL FROM THE SETTLERS Published Every® ® ago ‘that is ; | dent," and "will not continue the war any tonger indusâ€"| than Finnish interests demand."â€" Mest: British re ean | people have realized this from the beginning, and t only| few, indeed, have classed Finland with the gangâ€" wulhe‘ ster nations into whose class the country waus as well‘ forced by circumstances. Lw- hasbeen bedly nem The settier has too few friends in this country, M as a matter otfact Mwflwmmnvmmveeflectm the whole present and future of the North. - ~ For years past The Advance has been pleading: for encouragement, assistance, thoughtful considâ€" ‘eration for the settier. With the right sort of help these ploneers would prove a wonderful asset for the Notth. Conditions have made it such that few of them can possibly live and cstablish homes and farms without some outside means of assistance. Thereâ€"was a time when this necessary aid came from ‘the pulpwood ‘on the farms.> This, however, has passed, and about the only assistance near to them comes from road work. The work at which the Val Rita settlers is engaged is that of making roads. To work for 21â€" cents per hour, and furnish their own tools, as the letter indicates is not genâ€" uilie help. In view of conditions of toâ€"day, it does not provide eveirt a living wage. When it is rememâ€" bered that the settlers have only occasional emâ€" ploymentâ€"lose rainy days and days when outside circumstances compel cessation of employment,â€" the rate of 21 cents per hour appears utterly inadeâ€" | quate. It is a question whether such a rate will give even a meagre living for the settlers while ‘employed. Instead the rate should be such as to allow them some assistance towards their real goal‘ of building farms and homes in the fertile North. The Advance believes that the solution of the settâ€" ler ‘problem lies in the adoption of a proper form of land bonus. But as long as that system is not adopted, any other measure pretending to do the work should be something more than 21 cents per "’hour ~All over the Dominion there are strikes and ‘.rumours of strikes.. One recent affair of this sort ‘suggested that the strikers were entitled to one dollar an hour for steady employment. Contrast this with the claim of the Val Rita settlers who are. asked to labour for a rate of 21 cents for occaâ€" sional work. To argue that the settlers will not strikeâ€"can not strikeâ€"does not alter the justice of the situation. There should be a speedy invesâ€" tigation of the â€"claim of the Val Rita settlers and if their statements are correct, the rate of pay should be increased to a reasonable one that will allow these pioneers to go forward in their work of building up the North. A prominent and popular figure in sporting and| other circles in the Porcupine, now on active serâ€" vice in Canada, was home last week on leave and| took â€"occasion to contradict a suggestion in The Advance that recruiting offices in Toronto had been closed on Labour Day in honour of the holiâ€" day. ‘This soldier points out that he personally saw recruiting in active operation in military ofâ€" fices in Toronto on Labour Day. He agreed with The Advance that the war is paying no attention to holidays or anything else, that its calls are conâ€" stant, and that the right answer is that recruitâ€" ing offices should carry on all the time, irrespecâ€" tive of holidays. That, he suggests, is the right idea, and that he claims is what has happened and is happening throughout Canada on holidays and on other days. In the meantime the other friend of The Advance who stated that he tried to secure information in regard to the Navy and found the office closed to observe the holiday, maintains that not only were the Navy recruiting stations apparently observing the holiday, but the same appeared to be true of military recruiting places, The Advance is not in a position to know which side of the story is the right one. It may be that both have an element of truth. There is no quesâ€" tion of the honesty of either party. It may well be that the one reader found some offices clostd, while the ‘other one knew that certain recruiting places were open. On a holiday like that of Labout Day it would seem to be good business to keep all recruiting offices open, especially in cities like Toronto. The very fact that attention has been called to the question is practical assurance that hereafter all recruiting offices will be open all the time. Men are needed in increasing numbers and every facility should be given to make it easy and convenient for any and all to enlist any time the thought comes to their mind. Still stands the motto of the King:â€" "Put into your task whatever it may be all the courage and purpose of which you are capable. Keep your hearts proud and your resolve unshakâ€" en. Let us go forward to that task as one man, a smile on our lips and our heads held high, and with God‘s help we shall not fail." AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER A communist member of the British parliament accuses the Minister of Production of saying that he hoped the German and the Soviet Armies would exterminate each other. Of course, the Minister did not say exactly that. And, anyway The Adâ€" vance said it first. - : NO HOLIDAY FOR RECRUITING |* Is Alleged to Have Deliberâ€" ately Broken His Neighâ€" bour‘s Gate.

But today, aerial navigation is a «different story, especially on Royal:Omrnadian Air Force stations where the. Empire‘s, military pilots are being trained.
