A., result in more comfortable homes and better supplies of food and clothing for wives and children?” When this question was asked of leading Ontario manufacturers by the Ontario Board of License Commissioners, 1,165, or 82 per cent., answered “Yes”, while only 239, or 17 per cent., said “No”. Progress or Reaction Ontario Electors Must Choose THE issue of the Plebiscite of October 23rd is: Shall the sale of intoxicating liquor as a beverage continue to be prohibited, or the traffic be re-established and conducted by the Government? fl Since September 16th, 1916, the legalized sale of liquor for beverage purposes has been prohibited. During eight years The Ontario Temperance Act has wrought a moral, social and economic transformation, gradual but real. fl A new genera­ tion knows nothing of the evils of the liquor traffic before the O. T. A. came into force. Older generations may have forgotten, fl Think of it! There is not a man or woman 29 years of age who has legally seen the inside of a bar-room or liquor shop in the Province of Ontario, fl Booze is banned! It is a discredited and dishonored outlaw. Now, it wants to come back. It seeks not only re-instatement, but that the Government itself shall be an active partner. Do You Remember? The old-time Bar-Room and Liquor Shop, with their disgusting sights and sounds and smells; The staggering, cursing, drunken men who jostled us on the streets and on the cars— particularly on holidays or at public demon­ strations—and who filled our jails; The poor, battered, bedraggled hulks of men and women—God’s children, our broth­ ers and sisters, every one of them; The destitution, misery, wretchedness, squalor, filth and disorder in many hovels that might, and should, have been homes; The vice, the immorality, the crime, the debauchery, incited by liquor, that appalled good citizens. The O.T.A. Has Made Good Contrast those conditions with the situation today. The Ontario Temperance Act has brought immeasurable improvement. Drunk­ enness has decreased. Crime has been lessened. Homes are happier. Children have been given a better chance. Savings Bank de­ posits have increased. All down the line, PROGRESS has been written into the history of Old Ontario! OFFICIAL RECORDS PROVE ALL THIS! The following table shows that, in Ontario under the O. T. A., there has been a sub­ stantial decrease in the ..offences that are usually associated with drink: All Systems of Government Sales Have Failed So-called “Government Control” has prov­ en a dismal failure wherever tried. Drinking, drunkenness and bootlegging have reached appalling proportions. Every Canadian Pro­ vince that has tried any form of “Government Sale” has already learned a hard lesson. Take BRITISH COLUMBIA: Hon. H. H. Stevens, M.P., in a public address in Van­ couver recently, declared: “Never, in the history of the country, was bootlegging comparable in magnitude and murderous results to what it is today.” Or, MANITOBA: Figures furnished by the Chief of Police of Winnipeg show an increase of 45 per cent, in the number of drunk and disorderly cases in the first five months under Government Sale, as compared with the corresponding five months of the previous year under Prohibition. And, finally, QUEBEC: The following resolution was unanimously adopted by the Presbytery of Montreal, April 15th, 1924: “That we regard it to be a patriotic duty to make it known that the drug traffic flour­ ishes here as never before and is on the in­ crease, bootlegging flourishes in and from this Province as never before, that drunken­ ness is on the increase and that the Quebec system of Government Control is socially injurious and not a success.” For the Honor of Old Ontario mark Yonr Ballot thus: Assaults Cruelty to Animals Vagrancy Keeping and Frequenting Bawdy Houses Loose, Idle and Disorderly Drunkenness 1914 1922 1,627 756 1,172 256 4,703 1,507 802 352 6,411 1,736 17,703 10,063 ■—miniiniiiiMa mi ii linn Are you in favour of the sale 2 as a beverage of beer and spirituous liquor in sealed pack­ ages under Government control? ■HBsmmsnB IAre you in favour of the con- v y tinuance of The Ontario Tem- perance Act? z\ Ontario Must Hold the Line If a majority vote for “continuance”, it means that we will have a better law more effectively enforced, with correspondingly improved results. The Government, through the Prime Minister, has definitely pledged itself to “strengthen” the Act and “give it active and vigorous enforcement”. If a majority vote for “Saie”, it means the re-establishment of the old, discredited Liquor Traffic, in the guise of respectability under a system that makes the Government the bar­ tender and every citizen a partner, acting as sales agent for the brewers and distillers and making profit for them out of the destruction of life and happiness. The Ontario Plebiscite Committee, uniting the temperance forces of Ontario, calls upon all who love their Province and wish its con­ tinued and increasing prosperity and the happiness of its people to VOTE FOR THE LAW that has accomplished immeasurable good, and not for a return of the traffic that has wrought such havoc in the past, and would do it again.

A social evening was held in the church last Tuesday night. Mr. Nichol of Bervie and Mr. Johnston assisted in the program. Candy was served at the close. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Lindsay spent Sunday at Walter Kaake’s. HOW TO VOTE ON PLEBISCITE The plebiscite will be taken on the 23rd of October and the questions submitted together with the ex­ planations given 'seem to leave but little room as to how the ballots should be marked. Both questions will appear on the ballot but only one vote is to to be recorded and will be counted as an affirmative, or “Yes,” for the ques­ tion after which the voter places his cross. The vote will be indi­ cated by a simple cross (X) and mean “yes” as to the answer to the question. Any ballot having the word “yes” or “no” written on it will be thrown -out as a spoiled ballot and will not be counted. A ballot having two crosses on it , one after each question will also be thrown out as spoiled. Don’t forget to mark one cross after the question you favor. If you are in favor of the continuance of the Ontario Temperance Act, put your cross after the first question on the ballot. If you are in favor of the sale as a beverage of beer and spirituous liquor in sealed packages under Government control, put your cross ■if ter the second question. We hope we have made this plain rough to our rcaiis. Vote only me? and let the vote be indicated )y a single cross' after the question ou favor Anything more than this will constitute a spoiled ballot. Ambition is just envy plus a deter­ mination to show ’em. “Six mowen in jail and not one man,” says a despatch from Ottawa. Well, why not? Women help to pay for the jails.

Toronto.) In the control of poultry lice one remedy has come very much to the rout during the past seven years. It s‘sodium fluoride, a chemical that is easy to obtain, easy to apply, ef­ fective and safe in its application, iodihni Fluoride Very Effective. Sodium fluoride may be obtained in ine white powder form or as fine ..•rystals. The powder form, if guar- 90 to 98 per cent, pure, is he most desirable form to apply as i dust. Sodium fluoride retains its rCieiency, and may be kept if need be a closed tight bottles or cans and isefi when wanted. One application, f thorough, will destroy all 'lice on he birds and remain effective long nough to get many of the parasites oat hatch later. There are three methods of application in common .se; all are effective, but the “pinch .jethod” is the most commonly prac- • ced in small flocks. It consists of lie application of the sodium fluo- ide powder directly to the skin and . eathers of the bird, the operator <iking up what he can hold between iie thumb and forefinger and appiy- ag on breast, each thigh, each side f back, on the neck, head, under- ide of each wing, below the vent. It akes ten pinches of the chemical to cover the bird by this method and .aid skilled operators can handle ■ixty birds an hour. he Dusting Method. The dusting method of applying sodium fluoride is by mixing with a filler material, as flour, talc, or plas­ ter, to make four times the bulk of Jie insecticide, and then apply by shaker or blower duster to the ruffled feathers of the bird. Greater speed .a treating the -birds is secured at a greater expenditure of chemical, s he Dipping Plan. The dipping method of applying so­ dium fluoride can be practiced dur­ ing the summer and early autumn season when there is ample warmth and sunlight to dry wet birds. The oath is prepared in a wooden tub and consists of one ounce of commer­ cial sodium fluoride to a gallon of warm water. Sufficient quantity should be mixed to handle the work at hand. Five gallons of the solution will do for 100 birds. The birds to be treated are placed in the dip for twenty seconds and just before re­ moval the head is-soused and the oird taken out and allowed to drain. The dip should be body heat for fowl, about 107°, and the work done on a quiet, bright day, when it is warm enough to dry the birds quickly. Other Means Suggested. There are a number of other methods that have proved to be high­ ly efficient, among which the carbolic acid, gasoline and plaster or paris mixture is coming into general use. thus dusting powder is prepared by mixing three parts gasoline, one part carbolic acid (90 per cent, pure) and stirring in enough paster of paris to take up all moisture. It is applied as a dusting powder with a shaker ur by hand, A medicated duut wallow beneath the shade in the poultry yard or with­ in the shelter of the building is a great aid in keeping the louse popu­ lation down. A box partly filled with une road dust to which tobacco dust has been added at the rate of one to six, is very useful and relieves the old hen of many an itch.—D. Steven­ son, Dept, of Extension, O. A. C., Guelpn. Hardy Alfalfa In Ontario. A large number of tests have been conducted in past years on the ex­ perimental plots at the Ontario Agri­ cultural College with different varie­ ties and strains of alfalfa. It was discovered more than a decade ago that the Common alfalfa from mt Central Western States wouid nut live long in Ontario. Variegated al­ falfas, such as the Grimm and the Ontario Variegated, however, proved hardy in this Province. These two varieties are now increasing substan­ tially -as the farmers appreciate tneir superiority over the Common, vioiei nowered variety. In one experiment at the College alfalfa has been cut tor hay three times a year for eleven successive years without re-seeding. Tne first cutting this year, therefore, is the thirty-fourth crop obtained from tne one seeding. Tne average yield oi hay per acre per annum irom me eleven years of this test was sngnti> over four tons. in another experiment of thirty- four plots seeded in tne spring oi 1922, the highest yield of hay uom the first cutting of this year was of the Variegated type. The Common alfalfa has variegat­ ed flowers oi different densities and the Variegated alfalfa has violet, green/ blue and yeiiow of various blends which can be seen when the blossoms are fully opened. Several carloads of seed of high quality of Variegated alfalfa have been produced and sold for seed pur­ poses in each of the past two or three years in Peel County alone. Also in a number of other counties seed of the Variegated type of alfalfa is be­ ing produced.—"Dept, of Extension, O. A.

Reave returned home ! to Detroit on Saturday. Mr Donald Smith, Con. 8, has been appointed tax collector for the Town- sb/p of JIv.rcn for the year 1924. Miss Belle Jackson, of Seaforth, paid a brief visit to her brother, T. A. Jackson, last week. It is reported that a new butcher shop will be opened in Ripley in the near future. Miss Margaret Martyn and Miss Isohel McLeod have returned to re­ sume their Arts course at the Uni­ versity of Toronto. Mr. Thos. Bell is now much improv­ ed following injuries received in a re­ ent auto accident near Whitechurch, •and has gone back to Detroit to re­ sume his position there. Stewart McLay was confined to his home a few days last week following a slight accident sustained w h i 1 e playing basketball at the high school. It appears that he accidently received a blow on the temple, which is such a vulnerable spot, that Stewart was un­ able to be around for a day or two. We are happy to report that is once more feeling strong and fit. The students of Ripley Continua­ tion School were granted a half holi­ day last Ihursday to enable them to amend Kincardine High School’s field dr.7 and compete with the scholars at the lakeside town on the athletic field. Apparently local athletes have still much room for improvement as the Kincardine teams were victors, How­ ever a program of return matches in ooys and girls baseball, basketball, etc., has been arranged for Thursday, Oct. 2nd, at Ripley’s field day in the Memorial Park and the outcome is a- waited with interest. The second day of Ripley Fall Fair on Sept. 24th, attracted a large crowd and was well up to the standard of previous years. The total entries was _n the neighborhood of fourteen hun­ dred, an increase of about three hun­ dred and fifty over last year. Gate re­ ceipt^ were about $4.00. Horse racing xeatured the program of the after­ noon. In free for all Jim Hal won the money, while the 2.50 class, Victoria Hal was the winner. Both these horses are owned by Roy Colvin, Teeswater. Victory Bond, owned by H. F. Mc­ Mullen, won the green race. There were many entries of live stock, the cattle and sheep exhibits being par­ ticularly large. The Lucknow Pipe Band helped to enliven proceedings, as did A. Hill, the 410 lb. heavyweight corn cure seller from Chatham. The baby show, as always, proved a great attraction, the first prize being a- warded to Bertha McLay, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gus McLay, of Ripley. Particulars of prize-winners will be found elsewhere in the Sentinel. People of Ripley and vicinity were treated to a most interesting and ed­ ucational motion picture fiim last Thursday night when operators from the motion picture department of the Ford Motor Co. of Canada exhibited the film, “The Ford Age.” A large crowd was in attendance at C. A. Pol­ lock’s garage and watched with un­ abated interest, the countless activi­ ties of the motor factories and the wide-spread ramifications of the mot­ or magnate’s industrial enterprises. One could not help but be impressed with the high stage of—efficiency and mechanical perfection in the quantity production of Ford cars, trucks and tractors Pictures of Ford timber lim­ its, coal mines and railways also brought home the fact of the unriv­ alled position which Ford has attain­ ed among the world’s captains of in­ dustry. Mr. Robert Irwin, reeve of the Township of Huron, will be the first superintendent of township roads, he having been, recently selected for that position. Mr. Irwin’s duties in his new post will not commence until 1925. Rev. Dr. Harkness, pastor of St. Andrew’s Church preached a strong temperance sermon Sunday morning The doctor quoted many scriptural passages showing the Bible’s con­ demnation of the use of strong drink as a beverage. He then went on tc discuss the proposed government salt of liquor and urged his hearers tc profit by the experience of British Coulmbia and Manitoba in this re­ gard, and energetically oppose the in­ troduction of any such system in Ont­ ario. In spite of its imperfections, the Ontario Temperance Act was a move in the right direction and Dr Harkness urged the congregation to support it with their votes in the forthcoming plebiscite. Mr. George Swalw 11 passed away ..at the home of his son Albert, in Kin­ cardine Township, on Sept. 29th. The deceased was widely known in this part of the country and had attained the advance age of ninety-wo years and eleven months. He was born ir Yorkshire, England, but came to Can­ ada about sixty-seven years ago. He was located in Perth County for a time but later came to Kincardine Township, where he farmed for many years. On becoming too old for active farming, he retired to Ripley where his love for the land was still in evi­ dence in his large and well-kept gar­ den, in which he took keen pleasure in growing the choicest vegetables. On account of the infirmities of age, he had gone to live tith his son a- bout six months ago. The late Mr. Swailwei/s v.Le whose maiden name was Elizabeth Grice, predeceased him by about six months. Six sons, Albert, Robert and William of Ripley, Thom­ as of Port Elgin, Lot, of Manitoba, and Alfred, of Saskatoon, survive. The deceased is also survived by two daughters, Mrs. J. Culbert of Huron, and Mrs. J. Russell, Goderich. The funeral will be held to Ripley Ceme­ tery, on Oct. 1st. Mr. Thomas Ferris met with a painful accident in H. F. McMullen’s planing mill Tuesday morning, when the knives of the planer sliced off the upper joint of two fingers on his left hand. Mr. Ferris received immediate attention but w’ill be unable to do any work for some time.
