Ottawa, Oct. 3 0.���������Preparations have been rushed to take care of the first men called up under the Military Service Act, since ail indications point to a heavy response at the very first. Jt requires a huge organization, throughout the country to take care of the operation of the Act. The Governor-General's Proclam- tion was printed in all the newspapers of the country on October 13 calling up the first class. This includes all male British subjects between the ages of 20 and 34 who were unmarried on July 6, .1917. or arc widowers without children. All such men must report for service on or before November 10 next, if application for exemption has not been made in tlieir behalf before that date. Since, by this time, the country has been fully informed as fo each man's duty under the Military Service Act, and knows the sever,? penalties provided for those who try to evade the law, a speedy formation of the required reinforcements to the number of 100,000 is expected from the first class called.

A man who believes in the old saying, "See a pin and pick it up, and all that day you'll have good luck" saw a pin in front of the livery stable the other day. Bending down to get it,- his hat tumbled off and rolled through the mud, his eye-glass fell and broke on the sidewalk, his ���������suspenders gave away, he bust the wart on the back of his neck which he used for a collar button, and the automobile backed out just as his teeth fell out; but he got the pin.

Tho funeral took place on Sunday last of young Alexander Valentine, who met accidental death at the Hatzic Shingle mill on Friday last. The young lad, who was about 1 i years of age was engaged at the mill as block piler on the upper floor. For some reason he went down v> the second floor,although he had on several occasions been warned not v> do so. The engineer noticed the conveyor had" stopped and going down to find' the trouble was horifiel t> find young Valentine had got caught on the shaft by his sweater and was dead, probably choked to death. The death must have been instantaneous as it was only about a minute between the time the engineer noticed the conveyor had stopped and his going over to find the cause of the trouble. fi.������������tf luMWtfj���������Caimw- !>��������� *������������������ ^^^^Jjwrant^k^^j***^ sacrsr: ii-.'^ #HE ABBOTSFORD P6ST. &BkOTS#QftD.

A bag of No. 1 Northern, clean as a whistle of.cockle and foxtail, was a "symbol of sure value long before gold was known in the world. Wheat was found in the Pyramids. The Egyptians just, about worshipped wheat. The Bible calls it corn; so do the English. But when we say "good as the wheat" we refer to the bushel,of brown hard kernels worth by Government fixture this year,-$2.20 in the memory of living man when did "good as'the wheat" mean more than it does now? Never. A bag of wheat weighing two bushels and a neck tots up in 1917 to just about the value ���������->{:' a five-dollar gold piece. But of course no man wants gold for his wheat. All he gets is a check made out iir his favor on some bank and signed by the manager of some elevator company or milling concern. The clieck is converted into bills or goes on deposit. Good wheat; good paper;'nobody asks any Questions. Because the company is 0. K. and'the bank is sound. If any wheat-seller had any doubt of either he would at once demand something else. "I sold good wheat," he would say. "I want something as good in exchange." What made the wheat good? The good armer behind it. A noor farmer can make good seed into poor-wheat. What makes the paper money good? The security of the corporation whose name it bears. The sounder the corporation, Lhe nearer the paper comes to being as good as ihe wheat. But even a big company may go "broke." Back of the corporation is a concern whose guarantee on a piece of paper is better than either. The pledge of the Dominion of Canada to pay any man money for value received is as good as the wheat and as saf-j as the Bank of England. The best pledge of the Dominion of Canada to pay is a Canadian Victory Bond; better than checks or bills���������AS GOOD AS WHEAT! Supose you change that twenty bags of wheat on your wagon, not into a check or notes or even gold; but into Canadian Victory Bonds of $50 each, bearing interest at five and one-half per cent, per annum and as negotiable on the market a the best check or the best load of wheat you ever saw?

IV CANADA, ss 137 It will be greatly to the advantage of Canada if the entire quota of 100,000 men to be raised under the Military Service Act.can be. secured from tho first class; that is, from Ihe men between the ages or ZU and 34 who were unmarried or widowers without children on July 6th, 1917. This is almost self-evident for the following reasons: it is admitted thr', between the ares of 20 and 34, the average man is at the height of his physical strength and i-, most adaptable to the change of conditions from civilian life; the military service of unmarried men and widowers without children would ^occasion less distress than that of most others, since they are largely without dependents. Also, it would entail less financial burden for Canada, through separation allowances, etc. Authorities estimate that, after all proper exemptions have been allowed, Canada should be able to produce from the first class 100,000 men fit for service, so the drain upon the man power of the country will not be severe. Members of Class One will be well advised to present themselves for examination immediately to the Medical Board in their district. Upon examination as to their physical fitnees, they will be placed in one of thc following categories: , Category A���������if fit for service in overseas fighting units. Category B���������if fit for service overseas in Army Medical Corps, Forestry Battalion, etc. Catagory C���������if fit for service in Canada only. Category E���������if unfit for military service of any nature. If not placed in Category A, the applicant will know that he is not liable for immediate service, but will go to the Post Office and send in a claim for exemption with his Medical Certificate attached, when he will receive in due course a certificate of exemption until those in his medical category are summoned for service. Where a man, who is placed in category A, feels that exemption should be allowed, an application form can be secured from the postmaster. This form, when filled in, will be forwarded by the postmaster to the registrar of thc district, and the applicant will be informed by mail as to the time and place for the ��������� !...".:__ _t U: l:���������-i: 1���������. tl.��������� F~���������rr,rx!-;r,r.
