Men Liberated from Military Prison Show that Their Sufferings Were More Severe Than that of Prisoners in Germany.GENEVA, Sept.19.\u2014 Released from military\u2019 prison in Bulgaria, sixty British soldiers, including seven ! officers, have arrived here in a very weakened condition.It is apparent their sufferings had Keen more severe than those of allied prisoners in Germany and Austria.One of the.officers, in speaking of the treatment he received, declared the Bulgarians would remain Orientals and would never he'omv civilized and Europeanised.He said the country wa- beginning to star/e owing to the exploitation of foodstuffs by Germany.Throughout Bulgaria, he added, i feeling against, the domineering Germane was increasing.carried off prizes at the Sherbrooke Exhibition had their cattle on hand in an effort to add to their winnings.Probably one of the most interesting exhibits was the fine Brown Swiss bull of Mr.Joly, which he refused j $2,500 for.This animal attracted a great deal of attention and was much admired by lovers of high-class cattle.LARGE EXHIBIT OF SWINE.Another feature of the fair this year was the large number of swine on show at the fair.There were more swine shown this year than ever before, some of the finest specimens in this district competing for the prize money that was offered in this department.The large exhibits of swine at the fairs this year shows conclusively that the request of the Government to farmers to raise pigs has met with a ready response.There is hardly a fair this year at which there were not a large number of swine exhibited than in the past years, and the adventure for many farmers has proved such a success that they claim that this line will receive more attention that it ever did before.The sheep exhibits were about up to the usual standard, but that of poultry snowed an advance over last year s figures.it has been stated tnat the number and quality oi birds exnibited at many of the lairs this year has dropped considerably, but such a statement cannot be chalked up against Waterloo, '«juite a num-, her of clergy have taxen up poultry raising, and that their efiorts have met with success is proved by the fact that Rev.A.J.Ward and Rev, W.J.H.Lummis carried off quite a number of prizes.The horses exhibited, too, were up to the standard, although there were not quite so many entries as the officiais would lixed to have seen.The ladies\u2019 driving events created quite a lot of interest, as also did the entertainment programme provided for the spectators.The Knowlton band was on hand and rendered a very inter-: esting musical programme.CHILDREN'S WORK GOOD.Probably one of the chief attractions of the fair this year was the fine display, or rather prize samples, of the work which the school children have been carrying on to help the cause of the Allies.The exhibits were admired by one and all, and the i children can well be proud of them.This exhibit was carried out under the auspices of the authorities at Macdonald College.It will be remembered that early In the spring a move was made to interest the young folks in gardening, and that seeds were given to them.That they went about their worn in an earnest manner was the general opinion of all after a visit to the tent where the samples of their work were on exhibition.Here was to be seen needlework, handiwork and prize vegetables.The W\u2019atden Red Ceoss had charge of the dining room and added quite a little sura to their hank account, while the ladles\u2019 department attracted no little attention.Here were to be seen many fine displays of hand sewing, etc.There were also to be :eeen m*ny novel ideas.For Instance, the inside work on one large blanket was of a tree bearing such luxurious fruits as apples, oranges and peaches, all on the same branch.RACES WERE INTERESTING.President James Kennedy and Vice-President W, W.Phelps, who again this year carried off numerous prizes with his fine display of cattle, worked hard and faithfully to make the fair a success, while Secretary-Treasurer N.0.Rockwell was kept very busy attending to the many duties : he Is called upon to take over during the fair.1 The horse races proved very interesting, as also did the foot races.In the 2.3S pace Alice K.carried off the first money, Teddy second money, Eddie Steele third money and Peacock fourth money.The free-for-all saw Slldewall home ! in front, with Evignolx second and Mary Ionise third.The 100-yard dash was won by G, Taylor, with G.Shaw second and G.Young third.O.Young won the potato race, with

this would be increased within a year by about $3.000,000,000.\u201cBy the time the war is over,\u201d said 1 Mr.Rovensky, \u201cAmerica will be one i of the leading creditor nations in the world, a financial center from which a large part of the world\u2019s economic forces will be directed; where the debits and credits of the world\u2019s trade ; will, to a large extent be cast up and 1 be settled.\u201c¦World banking on a scale heretofore undreamed of will be the order ! of the day.The star of financial and economic supremacy that has been , travelling westward since the dawn | of civilization and that now rests over London, will again move forward in its course and cross the Atlantic.In contemplating this picture there spreads before our eyes a vista of a world of boundless opportunities which awaits young American bankers of the present generation.\u201d Mr.Rovensky reached these conclusions by an interesting analysis of the international financial position of the United States.He said that when thhe war began the United States\u2019 net debt to the world was about $3,500,-000.000.The United States paid annually to foreign countries a net amount of $500.000.000 in interest on our debt, freight chargeSj remittances to ! foreign laborers, expenditures of I American tourists, insurance premiums and sundry items.After the beginning of the war the United States repaid its debt to foreign countries very rapidly by purchasing American securities held abroad.\u201cIt is probable that our new debt to foreign countries was practically extinguished about two years ago,\u201d declared Mr Rovensky.During the war.up to July 1, 1918, the United States exported merchandise in excess of its imports to the extent of about $10.000,000.000.In return the United State* arranged to lend its Allies and other foreign countries about $7,500.000,000.it received American securities to the amount of about $2.000,000,000 and $1.000.000.00-'\u2019 in gold; a total of $10500.000.000.Mr.Rovensky estimated that after the war the United States would re- ; ceive from eighteen nations annually about $450.000.000 in interest on its | loans: instead of having to pay about $175.000,000 annually in interest as it did before the war.Against this there would be charged items of payment to foreign countries amounting to $325.000.000.leaving a net annual income to the United States of about $175,000.000.To this added an annual j net trade balance in favor of the United States of about $490,000,000.i This made a total of credits annually Î piling un in favor of the United States t of $665.000,000.Mr.Rovensky intimated that the ; United States would find it nrofitable after the war to leave its $9,000,000,-000 investment abroad and to reinvest j abroad the income from it by purchase | of securities of foreign railways, steamship companies, manufacturing, | mining and other enterprises.NEWSPAPERS RAISE PRICES Montreal Gazette Goes to Three Cents\u2014Advance in England.MONTREAL GAZETTE GOES TO THREE CENTS\u2014ADVANCES IN ENGLAND MONTREAL, Sept.18\u2014The Montreal Gazette announces an advance in price from 2c.per copy to 3c per copy.Delivered by carrier the new price is $8.00 per year.In connection with the announcement the publijhers say: \u201cSince the war, costs have gone up at an alarming rate.Newsprint alone costs sixty per cent, more with further increases probable.The wages paid printers have increased 33 per cent.The increase in other departments has, in all instances, been as great, and, in some, even greater.While the necessity of providing for these costa have been a constant strain, by far the greater burden ha_ been brought about by the expenditure upon news services.The publishers believe that no apology is necessary.There is nothing the reader can buy in Montreal equal to the value this newspaper gives him for three cents.A higher price might e.asily be justi- | fied.\u201d A SUBSTITUTE, THAT IS CHEAPER THAN THE WHEAT FLOUR OUR ALLIES MUST HAVE TO WIN THE WAR LOWEST IN COST is.ti.i> It HIGHEST IN FOOD VALUE OUR WHEAT SAVING RECIPES MAILED FREE ON REQUEST « Western Canada Flour Mills, Co.Limited Head Office -\t-\t\u2022 Toronto 3 Reasons Why You Should Always Buy Your Goods at the Workingman\u2019s Store BECAUSE YOU GET The Best The Best Qualities Styles The Best Values Read these Exceedingly Low Prices Men\u2019s Heavy Working Boots the All-Leather kind.High laced\u2014the real comfort Boot.Regular $6.50 to $7.00.Our price.$3.40 Men\u2019s Hunting Boots the All-Leather kind\u2014the real comfort Boot.Regular $6.50 to $7.00.Our price.$5.40 Men\u2019s Dressy Boots Mahogany color, rubber sole and heel.Worth $7.00.Our price.$5.50 1 Lot of Ladies\u2019 Boots In all sizes.Never sold less than $4.00.Our price.$2.40 WORKINGMEN\u2019S PANTS, SUPERIOR QUALITY MATERIAL\u2014 ALL SIZES \u2014 REALLY WORTH TODAY $2.50.OUR PRICE.$1*75 Men\u2019s Black Hose the 35c.kind.Our price.19c.Men\u2019s Dressy Shirts Worth $1.25, for.65c.Ties!
