Their answer will be awaited with the keenest interest by. both the antis and the prohibitionists not only Iif the province, but throughout the Do - ,minion. Ws believe that the peo- ple who signed this petition will not look to the Government in vain bat that their prayers will be answered by Hon. W. H. Hearst and his able Cabinet counsellors who will be, as their honorable predecessor the late lamented Sir James Whitney was "Bold enough to be honest and honest enough to be bold." The liquor interests are basing their opposition as one of their circulars puts it upon the ground that this is a "Fight for Liberty against Tyranny." There is no such issue. The real issue is whether.or not tire people of thi- province shall have a right, to pass upon a great question involving the .material and the moral well being of oar great Province or shall their petition be ignored in respect to this real and very vital, issue? Which is the worst Tyranny, the fact that you cannot go and buy a glass of Whiskey if you want to or the Tyranny as known in many a drunkards home by his starving wife and children? Prohibition in Wingham has meant new life to more than "one — rtirir i'fi`i `-family therefore it would surely be a God -mend to hundreds of homes in—the Pro- vince.. .

Postage Is Reduced. ' -" The Canadian Postoice Depart- ment has -foregone its share of the postage on parcels to soldiers in France, thus effecting a material save ing in the cost of forwarding such Matter to the front. The following official announce - anent has been issued: "The Dion, T. Chase Caegrain, Postmaster -General of Canada, has been successful, as a result of ne- gotlatione entered into with the Im- Aerial. postal authorities, in effecting an arrangement with the British Government whereby 'parcels from Canada for Canadian soldiers in France and Flanders will be carried at the same rate of postage ari applies IA parcels from the United Itingdolu tor the expeditionary forces on. the itontinent.

Hamburg possesses a steam ferry of a somewhat original type, for the main deck can be raised and lowered by suit able machinery in order to take up a difference of level of some sixteen feet, The large structural framework rises to a considerable height and is intended to guide the whole platform in its ver. tical. movements. 13y t he use of pow- erful electric winches it Is possible to raise and lower the (leek as tl whole, even when it is loaded with numerous heavy vehicles, such ns are used in landing material at the port. The rea- son for adopting this arrangement of the deck Iles to the fact that at the Hamburg port the difference in tide level is considerable, so that when the boat lands at the wharf 11 is by no menus on the same level at all times and In the ordinary ease the heavy vehicles would be obliged to mount or descend a steep incline. I t is In order to avoid this drawback that the Pres• ent type of ferry was constructed, anti as the movable deck can always be brought flush with the level of the dock, the vehicles can now ruu off in the ordinary svay. The Local Newspaper No business man, professional man or manufacturer in any town should allow a newspaper published in his town to go without his name and busi- ness being mentioned somewhere in its columns, says an exchange. This applies to all kinds of business ---gen- eral stores, dry goods, groceries, furni- ture dealers, manufacturing establish- ments, automobile dealers, mechanics• professional men. and in fact all kinds of busines does This to d es not mean that you should have a whole or half or even a quarter of a page ad. in ev- ery issue of the paper but your name and business should be mentioned, if you do not use more than a two line space. A stranger picking up a news- paper should be able to tell just what business is represented in a town by looking at the business mentioned , in the paper, This is the beet possible advertiser. The man who does not ad- vertise his business does an injustice to himself and his town. He is the man who expects the moat free boost- ing for hie town. The man who insists on sharing therbusinese that comes to town but refuses to advertise his busi- ness is not a valuable addition to any town. The life of any town depends upon the live, wide-awake and liberal advertising business men.
