The Committee of one hundred asked that prohibition should be effective July 1, or two months earlier thou the period which has been fres by the Legislature.. There probably. however, was not a member of -the committee who ex, petted that the petition would win ite point to the Last letter. Indeed, there was great doubt entertained by many that the petitioners would get much more than an attentive bearing and some added restrictions of the traffic, The Government has dealt with the issue ib a fearless way, no matter. It has desired to prevent waste in the period of the war, but so also it has endeavored to avoid so far as possible injury to those who have been doing business under provincial license, There will hence be no honest com- plaint from the temperance interests at the fixing of the time of closing for September, Though total prohibition in Ontario teas not immediately anticipated its corning has been heralded by numerous signs. The eteady Spread of the pro. hibitory law over one-half of the United States, from Maine to the Dakotas, was one token. Tne certain advance of local option in .ibis prov- ince, until 583 of the 8J7 municipalities e are even now under absolute prohibi- tion, left no reasonable doubt of what the near future would encompass. Unquestionably the war has hastened the adoption of prohibitory legislat- ion. Russia destroying her vodka and France her absinthe were potent arguments with the advocates here of prohibition. The fact that thousands ,of young men were leaving their booms for the training camps of the cities strongly suggested the removal of temptation. Thebe and other fac- tors that would not have been opera. tive ' had peace prevailed created a public sentiment that the Government has recognized. The decision to avoid a vote in the midst t.f the war is wise and will be approved by all sides to the controversy. Moreover, an op- portunity is thus created to give total prohibition a real test upon which the intelligence of the country will be en- abled to pass judgment when, happily, the business of war will no louger be pressing. OLD ONTARIO IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME A lady in California, recently sent to Cauiada a very elaborately gotten' up booklet, entitled, "California Is Good Enough For Me." A reply to ithe California poet follows: I've read your !Rea pamphlet, And I think it's simply great. It is sure a eplendict picture Of your grand wed glorious state, And I hope kind fate will sanction These wonders I may see, But at present good nld Ontario Is good enough for me. 'You talk about the rose banks That in profusion grow But have you ever frolicked • In a glorious bank of snow ? We have them here in plenty, Mid we have diamonds on our trees, While our kiddies cheeks are crimson From the kisses of the breeze. Of course we love the summer. And tbe golden tinted fall— But we're longing for the snowflakes Oftimes, long before they fall, Ob! the bracing, brilliant winter With it's jolly sports and glee— It'e part of old Ontario, And it's good enough for me. You talk about your farm lande, And you think you head the class, But 1. wish you'd glimpse our wheat fields, And could taste our garden "ease" You mention, too, your peaches, Your Iuscious prunes and flowers, But you cannot show a sample That could put One over ours. Then ou bragabout-• the ocean y Iti dimensions seem to please— But It's not one whit more lonely Than our smilingi la in and seas.

Careful Packing and Hight Quality Necessary for Liwwd Returns. Proper packing for parcel post marketing is of primary importance and needs to be eiupbaslzed 80 that both the contents and the container may carry properly, arrive in good condition and present a satisfactory appearance. The pack sliould be re- gular, of as nearly nif m produce qr p e as possible and or full measure ac- cording to the quantity ordered. A little practice will enable almost any- one to pack a basket or container of any kind iu a satisfactory manner. One important requirement for parcel post chipping and marketing is a proper and satisfactory coti:te.ia- er. Sometimes the consumer can secure containers more readily and economically than the producer. Those with hanetles are nlueli lees likely to be damaged in transit in the mane than those which aro not thus Supplied and which aro likely to be tossed or thrown or handled by the string or twine used in tying them. A bamboo basket serves the purpose very well, and may be used a long time. Ordinary splint baskets made of strips of veneer may also be used, and if they can be secured at a price mum POST ?!AB.ET BASKET OE AS, SORTED VEGETABLES, IIZCOVEBFD A11 COVERED. sufficiently cheap a new one for each shipment is more economical than having thorn returned, unless they aro sent back in lots of ten or more under one cover, This of course ne- cessitates using them without a wooden handle, In which ease a heavy twine should bo used for a handle. This twine can be untied and the baskets nested or placed in one another for return shipment. If a basket with a wooden handle is used care should bo taken to see that it is securely nailed, not only at the rim of the basket, but farther clown toward the bottom, so as to prevent undue leverage which may break loose the nailing. Corrugated pasteboard cartons fre- quently may be found useful and de- sirablofor this service. They are made in a great variety of sites, di- mensions, and patterns, and when empty are shipped "knocked down" flat. It is probable that the point which will make the strongest appeal to the average. consumer is that he cat} secure by parcel post a fresher, brighter, more attractive, and thus possibly a better product than he can obtain otherwise. Producer§ should remember always that the Nee pearauce pf fruit and produce is one of the strongest factors in making it sale. It Will not pay to market any- thing nything but standard and fancy produce by parcel post, and the surest -way tp establish a dependable, continuing and increasing business is to forward nothing but strictly reliable and sats isfactory produce. The average producer, es a rule, does not realize the importance of appearance as a factor in selling goods, and frequently is careless and indifferent in preparing produce for market. The consumer, on the other hand, relies very largely upoe ap- pearance in selecting food supplies and unattractive articles are passed by promptly, Produce should be of high quality, clean and attractive, carefully and neatly prepared and parked, of one variety, and, as far as practicable, uniform in size, shape, color, and quality, and last, but not Least, carefully packed tff insure its arrival in a satisfactory condition, To Unmarried Men TU t WINO M ADVANCE AMERICA'S MOTHERLAND Blasphemous Ministers of Mercy (Contributed by an American whose ►anally was represented ou each side of the liebellIon of the Colonies, or Rfeve- lutionary War.

Social Evening and Presentation A, very enjoyable evening was spent in the basetueat of the Donnybrooks Church on Friday last, when a good programme was given, Including a de- bate entitled "Resolved, that India is of more importance to Great Britain than Canada." The affirmative was lead by Mr. Harold Robinson, sup- ported by Miss Gladys Jefferson, while the negative was upheld by Mr. Vic- tor Johnston, supported by Mies Cora Gilkinson. The decision was given in favor of the negative by the following judges, the Misses B. Anderson and S. Smith, and Mr. W. Ii- Campbell. The four young people desert credit ht the' way they handled the subject. After the debate, the St, Augustine Rifle Association presented three of their members, Ptee, John Jefferson, learuest Thompson and Joseph Thomp- son, who have joined the 181st Battal ion at Wingbaw, with an address and a wrist watch each, The address was read by Mr, Ambrose Brophy and the presentation made by Mr, Gus Kine - ban, as follows; St. Augustine, March 23rd, 1010 To DEAR JOHN, AND EARNEST AND JOSEPH: We, the members of the St. August. ine Rifle Association, and friends, de- sire to express our great and undying love and admiration for you in the no- ble and patriotic stand you have tak- en.

We know that you will so conduct youteelves as good soldiers of the king and keep unsullied your good name.

DAVIS 1 Issuer of Marriage Licenses CU's't" M OntCB, W1 IGItAM THE AGONY OF BELGIUM Reprinted from the "Birmingham Post" of February 29th 1910, "There would be wholesale starva- tion in Belgium within three or ,four weeks if the importation of food were stopped." With these arresting words Mr. F, 0. Walcott, an American citizen, who has been investigating on behalf of the Rockefeller Foundation the work of the Neulsral Oommission for Relief, commences a report, of which we give a summary in another column. And we fail to see how his restrained account of the sufferings of tbe Belgian population can be read without it going home to the under- standing of all that those words eon, vey no more than the truth. Such an appeal to the understanding must go also to the heart that is no: German, for has not that brave little nation en- dured enough on nett unt of its fidel- ity? For more than a, year and a half its people have been deprived of all means of livelihood; a thrifty and in- dustrious race largely supporting itself by extensive cultivation of the soil, deprived of its sources of susten- ance daily stares starv.stion in the face with heroic fortitude, The wail of a etrieken population bas not gone un- heard. From this country, from France, from the neutral countries food bas gone to meet its needs; but all that has been dou.a merely meete the irreducible ntinitnum. Of the 'tever. million of p"opl ) nearly one-half are destitute.

Neutral Relief Cammisnion' have cis,re a noble work in •sduainiatering to thio wants of the acedy to the beat of elver ability. They have done it sym- pathetically and with diecritnintition; :+ud they make it clear that far from tieing any diminution of requirement .here is an increase; further, there must be no relu.tation,of supply for a long time to come, even after peace has been restored. It is gratifying to know that the funds raised in this country has been of great service. Here, as elsewhere, the flow of help perhaps would have been freer but for the belief that the merciless invader found ways of pilfering tbo supplies, of appropriating to his own use what was meant for the victims of his oppression. If that were really the case, the most solicitous desire to succour the Belgian sufferers inevit- ably, would experience impediment in fulfillment. But we are glad to learn, on the authority of. the Neutral Coup mission, supported by the indepen- dent investigations of Mr. Walcott, that there is no warrant for the alle gation that Gorman ie benefitted ed b y the supplies sent to f3elgiune, Yet,' it' must be confessed, reports to the con - invited trar havecredence, the more m re eo that the enemy has proved himself e. h e of anyform of despicable cap 1 t ept f eable and Inhuman conduct n i valid reason, however, is there for thinking the Commission are not in it position to tears the full truth; and having their aseurance that held reaches those for tvhom it is tneant, the generous giver in this country need put no restraint upon hie eager wish to respond to such it compelling appeal, All dontribnt.ion0 for the people in Belgium shonld be sent to the Natiott- al Committee for Relief in 13elgiuni, Trafalgar Buildings, Trafalgar, Square.
