Standing of Our Boys In the Army When the Cookstown boys went seas Was commonly known that they would not accept com- missions as they hoped to be able to remain together in battle. It Was not long till they realized it was impossible, as war conditions spon separated them. In the following statement, as nearly correct as possible with our present information, the sterling worth of our boys who have gone to serve under the Union Jack can be estimated: Out of the en- listment from this vicini y we are aware of six corporals, nine ser_ geants, five lieutenants, four captains; one sergeant-major and one major. We also have four flyers and one nurse in the forces. Seven o* our brave men have won distinction and been awarded the military medal and one of them, Sgt. Frank Agnew, has been recommended for the bar to his medal.

In number they they were 40,000 in March, 1917--this is shown by the number of purchasers of the Government War Loan of that date. But in the autumn of the same year, their number increased twenty times--to 820,000! This was the number purchasing the Victory Loan, 1917. Last month--November, 1918--over 1,000,000 persons purchased the Victory Loan, 1918! These wonderful results were accomplished by Press Advertising. Before the war one-half of one Per cent. of our people bought bonds. Now quite twelve and one-half Per cent. of our people are bond buyers!
