The people pay their entertainers bigger sums and they pay them more will­ ingly than they pay any other class which administers to their wants. Successful baseball players are tolling up fine fortunes these years— rivalling in this the movie artists, who, perhaps come first as the draw­ ers of big fees. The receipts from the world’s championship baseball series of games brought in just a little Short of one million dollars—$900,233. That’s what the people paid to see the games. It was a new record, in spite of the hard times which is sup­ posed to afflict the world today. Each of the players in the winn­ ing team got $5,265 as his share of the gate receipts. Each player in the losing team got $3,500. The season’s earnings for many of ®^Hurknntn Sentinel . ubliehed every Thursday morning at Lucknow, Ontario. A. D. MACKENZIE, Proprietor and Editor.

Cass, of Elder- slie, has been appointed Returning Officer for South Bruce for the com­ ing election. Mr. Cass served several terms in the County Council and was considered a likely candidate for the Wardenship, when he suddenly retir­ ed from municipal politics. Mr. Cass farms three hundred acres or more of land with the assistance of his sons, and deals in cattle occasion­ ally.

A GOOD RESOLUTION On accepting the U.F.O. nomina­ tion for South Grey, Miss Agnes Mc­ Phail stated that, as a candidate, she would contribute to no funds nor in any way be more liberal or char­ itable than she would have been as a private citizen. One of the hardships of being a candidate, and one of the disgraces of our elections is that no sooner is one selected as a candidate for parl­ iament than he is besieged for con­ tributions of money by scores of or­ ganizations of one sort and another throughout the riding. Too often can­ didates fall before this temptation, ,and indeed it is difficult to avoid it unless one, at the beginning, makes some such Announcement as Miss Mc­ Phail has made. Some candidates of an independent turn, have gone still farther than Miss McPhail and have announced that, while a candidate for office, they would not make any con­ tributions or donations. This is really the only safe course, as, no matter how discrete one may be, his givings, while he is a candidate, will be look­ ed upon as bribes. Sometimes they are of that nature, but the worst leature is that the victim of Not only are tions accepted given to understand that if he does not “shell out” he will be put down as a “tight wad”, which is enough to kill any candidate. In the case of Miss McPhail, the resolution will likely do little harm, but the old party candidates, running in the old-fashioned way, can hardly get away from the vicious the candidate is made a regular blackmail, his bribing contribu- from him, but he is practice. •-O-I A GREAT RAILWAY STRIKE threatened strikes of The St. HELENS Misses Margaret Miller and Mary McQuillin left on Thursday for New Ontario, where Miss Miller will take charge of a school at Vimy Ridge, and Miss McQuillin one at Matheson.

It is a sign of trouble, and if allowed to continue, causes itself still further disorders- Headache, Neuralgia, The United States is with one of the greatest railway men in its history, “walk-out” of the railroad men is to commence on October 30, and they will quit work by sections of the country until by Nov. 5 all the union Ldent of the U. F. W. O. They will go roads of the country will be idle, so far as the union men are concerned. Like the strike of the coal miners* in Britain, this strike comes as the result of an effort on the part of the employers to reduce wages from the, high level attained during the war to a point more in accord with other things. Like the coal-miners’ strike, too, it is on an immense scale. Rail­ way transportation, too, like coal­ mining, is one of the vital industries of the country, so that the strike can­ not fail to be disastrous to the busi­ ness of the country all round. Public opinion, outride of the labor unions, is likely to be against the strikers. For a number of years the railway men have been receiving pay far in advance of the great majority of workers. Times are bad in the United States, and this strike will make them worse. It is pretty gen­ erally known that the railway com­ panies have not been making money, in spite of increases in passenger and freight rates. They claim to be on the verge of ruin, and incapable of going on under present conditions. Government management during the war proved a failure in a financial way. The attitude of the railway men appears to be: “Take it out of the public.” But the public feel that there is about enough being taken out of it. The railway managers, like the heads of many other large industries, feel that the time has come when it must be fought out with the unions. These have become so exacting and tyrannical that it is no longer poss­ ible to carry on business in a success­ ful way. They, therefore, take the view that if there is to be a fight to the finish, now is the best time for the railways. Business on the roads is dull; the country is full of idle men, and if ever a strike can be broken it is now. In another way this great strike resembles other recent strikes: The union leaders are personally against it. They know better. But the ignor­ ant element forces their hands- They must carry out whatever the major­ ity of the men vote for, or make way for men who will. to Detroit shortly and make their home in that city. i-O-l HURON TOWNSHIP COUNCIL A regular meeting of Huron Town­ ship Council was held on Monday, October 17, all members being pres­ ent, Reeve Ruttie presiding.

ANOTHER KIND OF KNIGHT I-O-I HIS MOVE They had stopped on a lonely road, while the young man worked fever­ ishly with the car. “I can’t start the engine,” he said wearily, “the thing won’t spark,” “Just like some people I know,” she replied with a smile. “And now,” said the monocled gen­ tleman who had grubbed a match from the traffic cop, “I suppose you would like to know who I am.” “Sure.” “I am Sir T. Willy Rockinghorse, knight of the Bath, knight of the Garter, knight of the Double Eagle, and knight of the Golden Cross.” “And I,” said the cop, “am James Murphy, to-night, last night, to-mor­ row night and every other night.” Whatever are the benefits of for­ tune, they yet require a palate fit to relish and taste them.

E McKIM GREENOCH MAN GOES TO JAIL He Made Whiskey The Bruce Times of Walkerton, had the following:— That the moonshine whiskey in­ dustry in this section is receiving some severe jolts was evidenced here on Thursday last, when Magistrate James Tolton and Robt. Richardson presided at the local Police Court and handed out penalties that should put a damper on activities in that line for some time. Robert Osborne, aged 29, a Green­ ock farmer of the Lovat district, who last July was mulcted $500 and costs for having a whiskey still in opera­ tion on his premises, apparently went at the business again to recuperate his depleted fortune. This was evi­ denced by the finding of two barrels of mash suitable for the manufacture of moonshine, just over the fence in some bushes on a blind line along­ side his farm. A coat, which two neighbors swore they had previouly seen him wearing, was covered over the barrels, and as Inspector White also identified the garment as the one that was near the still on Os­ borne’s farm on the occasion of the former raid in July, the Court con­ cluded that it had been part of the granger’s apparel at some time or other, notwithstanding the declara­ tion of Osborne and his wife at the trial that they had never before seen the coat. A path, which led from the two barrels to a deserted house on Osborne’s farm, and which shack contained a stove and a place for sleeping that suggested that it might have been used frequently at night, was another bit of circumstantial evi­ dence that led the Court to the con­ clusion that the mash was the pro­ perty of the accused planter and that he was at the booze-making game again. Some nice legal tilting took place between Lawyer Tucker, of Owen Sound, who appeared for the accused, and David Robertson, K.C., of Walkerton, who led the attack for prosecution, the outcome being that Osborne was found guilty of a second offence against the Booze Law, and as this carries a jail term with it, he was sentenced to six months’ impris­ onment, together with a fine of $500, and, in default of payment, to an­ other six months behind the bars. While much sympathy is expressed for the wife and four young children, who are innocent suffeiers, in this case, yet it is hoped the fate of the accused will have a salutary effect upon others who may be tempted to dabble in the illicit booze business. l-O«l DEFENDING “CANNED MUSIC” “In our more or less witty slang,” says a United States newspaper, “the product of the phonogaph is fre­ quently referred to as “canned mus­ ic.” The phrase is commonly used dis­ paragingly. But “canning” is one of the most useful art that civilization has developed, and it takes one of highest forms in the mechanism the phonograph. “A leisurely half-hour might spent pleasantly and not unprofitably in recalling some of the uses of “can­ ning,” but many things that make life worth while are “canned” pro­ ducts been ned” ages. the wisdom of Solomon would have died -on the eastern winds, and Shake- peare, and Longfellow, and Milton, and Bancroft and all the scientists and seers and singers would have died with their own generation. its of be that would otherwise not have available.
