BUY W. 8. 8. A MEASURE OF DEVOTION Ontario women, mid those of the communities about the city are presented with a real test of their devotion to the men in the army and to the nation. Their task is as nee- eesaan as is that which the men who enter the trenches are called upon to perform. On the success achieved by the former depends the success which will be achieved by the latter. That the task of knitting 860 pairs of socks and 120 sweaters especially during the summer time is one that will bring forth the spirit of the women goes without the saying. Right now many of the women are husv. The have besidesathe duties of the home the imperative task of pro riding loud for the coming winter.
