Canada's Progress in" Motor Work.
The way in which the motor vehicle has sprang into are in Canada is astranding. This country now holds third-place-in ibe number of automobiles in cas throughout the world. In 1917 there were123,302 care registered in Canada, so ineresse of 471,705 over 1916, while the number of new oara registered in that year was nearly 76,000. The increase for 1918 is expected to be on sproportionate scale. One Canadian in every Own8

sidering that in 1903 there were only 200 Autonhile in Ontario, endthati 1917,84 353 automobile licrates were taken out, the in- cresee is smazing. It is a rot-ble fact that an ever-increasing pro portion of the farming population ie embracing the application of motor vehicle, a fact which smongst other thingsmay possibly point to good country roads econ being the rule rather then the exception, as is andoubtedly the oate at the present time,

Agricultural pro- duction in 1917 is shown as valued st 87,861,850 dcl. ; an increase of 17 per cent. over 1816, notwith- atending the large tuber of agriculturiste verving their country in the military field. That the standard of quality has been maiatsined is shown by the Dimarcos awards won in Great Britain, the USA, and Canada. As regarde fishery production, the province of British Columbia in credited with 40 per cent, of that of the entire Dominion, lis Talde was 15,311,854 dola, being three quarters of a million more than that

ACTION
H
ERE is a story of Action, none more noble, thrilling, daring, self- sacrificing in the history of the war. These men went out on the eve of St. George's Day 1918 to do two » "things to stop, in some measure, the German submarine menace and to prove yet once again to all the world that the British Navy is the same in spirit, the same in genius, the same in noble self-sacrifice as it was in the days of Nelson and far down the ages. And they did them both..
They succeeded with the fullest measure of brilliant success. They went out to greet what they regarded as certain death, they stormed the breakwater of Zeebruge, blocked the Bruges Canal and inscribed such a story of action on the annals of the great war as will be told and retold long after the present generation has passed from the scene. They made history. Did they hesitate? No. Had they hesitated the great adventure, would have failed.
Now, it is
your turn to act. Thousands of young fellows have been maimed in this war. The heroic, noble and monumental work of restoring the wounded to their wonted activities typifies the great human and" humane side of the struggle. We have won a great victory, but at a terrible price. The work of healing she human wreckage calls for all the help and support-all the action-that true allegiance to the cause of civilization. can give. Do pot hesitate. There was no hesitation on the part of the boys. Signalise your appreciation of all they have done for you by a little self-sacrifice for them. They will appreciate it; and don't forget that you cannot give too much,
Heather Day, St. Andrew's Fair and the War Bond Drawing offer a unique opportunity for residents of Hongkong to send a Victory Offering to help the great work of the hospitals.
Make the 29th November day to remember.
