The Bruce Times of Walkerton ex-

improbable that outside of Lucknow
this view of the contest is generally
held.
it does not, however, correctly explain
the turnover from Joynt to Anderson•

Regarding the municipal election in
Lucknow the Wingham Advance said:
"Lucknow being a Liberal stronghold,
Anderson had little or no trouble to get
the political machine into action, and in
was bound to. Either man would
make a good reeve. There was no is-
sue other than the man, and both are
outstanding men in their respective
political parties. But it is well known

by every elector in Lucknow that prom-
inent Conservatives were among Mr.
Anderson's most active supporters, and
that Mr, Joynt had the openly express-
ed support of not a few Liberals.
This being the case, it is not fair to
the electors of Lucknow to say that they
lined up like unreasoning partisans and
voted party when only municipal ques-
tions were at issue. Quite a number of
minor considerations and influences ap-
pear to have been at work, this time
favoring Anderson as in March last
they favored Joynt.

The existence of the British Empire depends upon the outcome
of the War. All our resources must be thrown into the scale.
The Empire's call is for men, munitions, food, clothing, and, above all things,
MONEY. We are being called upon to give our millions to carry on the war. Sir
Geo. E. Foster has stated that the Dominion Government might even ask for a
Domestic Loan of $300,000,000. It is only a few weeks ago that Canadians sub-
scribed over $100,000,000 to a War Loan.
These facts bring right home to us that this is, as Premier Asquith stated, "A
War of Money as well as Men."' •
Sir Robert Borden, Sir Thomas White, Finance Minister, and other prominent
men have 'emphasized the Necessity of economy.

Sornething to Think About
1)id you ever seriously think about
the millions of dollars expended an-
nually for alcoholic beverages in the
ProVillt.'C of Onta'r'io 2
As nearly as can be estimated from
figures, based on Dominion Govern-
ment returns, the c'onsumpti°on of alco-
holic beverages in the Dominion in 1914
was $103,049,129. Assuming that On-
tario, whose population is one-third of
the Dominion, consumes one-third of
the alcoholic; `beverages, her share
amounts to $34,349,709.66. Let us say
$33,000,000.
In other words, Ontario's Annual
Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages
represents the cost of ---
1st. Rifles, Machine Guns and Field Guns for an army of
690,523 men on active service for a period of 12 months.
2nd. Or Accoutrements, Camp Equipment, Harness and Sad-
dlery, Transport Vehicles, Signalling and Telephone Equipment,
Tools and Miscellaneous Requirements for 1,269,231 mels at the
front.
3rd. Or one year's Clothing and Necessaries- for 330,000 men.
4th. Or Rations, Subsistence or Money Allowances for
226,027 "boys" on active service for one year.
5th. Or the Canadian Government's Separation Allowance
for 117,773 dependents for the entire year of 1916.
The foregoing figures are based on the war estimates of the
Department of Militia and Defence for 1916-17, as published on.
December 31st, 1915, in The Toronto ('lobe.
Eliminate This Expeniiture
The c'itizens' Committee of One hundred
believes that as a war -time measure, if for no
other reason, this colossal expenditure for
alcoholic beverages in Ontario should be elim-
inated. The Committee. also has every confi-
dence that the Provincial Government will
move in this important matter as rapidly as
public opinion will support them.
The function of the Citizens' Committee of
One Hundred is to organize, crystalize and give
expression to the present state of public opin-
ion on the question of prohibition. The Com-
mittee believes that it can demonstrate to the
Government that Ontario is overwhelmingly in
favor of prohibition. The people will shortly
be given the opportunity of signing a petition
for presentation to the Government.
The Citizens' Committee of One hundred is
the executive head of this big new prohibition
movement. It represents the whole Province.
It numbers men of both politica parties—men
who welconici this chance to cork for prohi-.
b}tion now that it has been taken out of poli-
tics --earnest men who are working together
for the e>l,u;1tl i good.
The public, and this includes those living in
DRY Municipalities, acre urged to join hands
with the Committee and insure the success of
the movement. Doing so will show that you
appreciate the benefits of prohibition in your
own municipality and add great strength to the
Committee's campaign.
If you live in a, Local Option municipality
your signature to the petition is jnst as urgent-
ly wanted as it would be if you were under
license. Province -wide prohibition would not
only confer a benefit on people living where
Local Option does not prevail, but would also
help to enforce the law in Local Option munici-
palities.

A great Slaughter
in the Price of
CLOTHING AND RUGS
Commencing Friday, January 21st
Suits
.Although Clothing has advanced 25 per
cent. in price, we have decided to put out
our entire Clothing stock at actual cost,
and sell it before our Spring stock comes in
and give our customers the benefit of it.
We are not advertising Suits at half price
as some merchants do, because we never
have 100 per cent. profit on it, or such an
enormous profit as to be able to sell it at
half price. We invite everybody to come
in and compare our prices and goods with
others, and we know where you will buy.
Prices ranging from $6 to $15 per suit.
J sze r'coats
We have only a few Overcoats left and are
going to clear these out. Prices $4 to $21.
Rugs •
Anything you want in the line of Rugs we
have it from the cheap Tapestry Rug to
the best Wilton. Our retail price on these
Rugs are less than what the wholesale price
is to -day, but we are not asking our regular
price, but the price that they cost us. If
in need of a Rug in the Spring don't wait
till then. Now is your chance of securing
a Rug at. one of the greatest bargains ever
offered in Wingham. Prices ranging ac-
cording to size of Rug.
Come in and see our Clothing and Rugs
and if you don't think they are the best
bargains ever offered why don't buy.
