An Australian soldier; writing to his parents, says: —"There is a big movement' among the Anzac mounted division to erect a bronze equestrian vnc? i morial on tho banks of the Suez Canal, where everyone who goes through can see it, to those of our comrades who biive fallen out here on the desert. Of course, as far as we have been able, we have made our mates' graves wherever "'.they fell, and where nossible have placed crosses,, with particulars on; and looked after them as well as ]we couldt; but they- are scattered all over fche country, poor chaps, and- some of the .men have been neither found nor identified. The graves that are made cannot last long after we leave tho desert, because the wind keeps blowing . the sand away, and the dirty Bedouin will come back and probably use the crosses for firewood; so that we all think the idea of the movement the best in the world, and we are. paying for it /jnrsolves, and do not require help from the public, whom we know would subscribe enough in a day if necessary. It will be a lasting tribute to'tlie 'boy ; ;,' and will be located where people from all parts of • fche world can see it. "We are still eating dates and will be corry when they are finished: so will the horses —they like them better than we do."

.Why the Canadian Ford sells in,"such large numbers. The reason is that, .it fills the requirements of so many people. It has been said that tho Ford Oar has lowered the cost of motoring £■■> such an .extent that it is more expensive to walk than to Ford it. In •fciie- matter of time-saving this is quite true. Think it over, twopence per mile is mighty cheap travelling for four <")>• live people. Catalogue of iieautiful new models free on request from d. H. Carson, District Agent. /Lshburtdn. "6
