Tho pnhlishtr of a weekly news- paper find~ the t be is compelled to increase the cost of tlw paper from 31.00 to $1 50 per annum. The reason, of itis the increas'insomany materials entering into the cost of production. White paper has advanced in price. Metal has been advanced in price. Type that once could be purchased for 4S cents a round to -day costs 93 cents. The war has had its effect on all trades, but few have felt it as heavily tts the newspaper.. Receiving$1.00 for a paper never was a paying proposition but the increase all along the lice now costs theproducer $1.74 for each paper, The falling profits from advertising leaves a deficite to the producer and he is compelled to raise the price of the weekly newspaper. In Perth and Huron counties the raise will be to $1.50. however alt who pay their subscriptions in advance and before the 1st of July, 1916, will receive there paper at the old rates of $1.00., After that it will be $1.50.

A declaration to this effect was made in the Legislature last week by Hon. W. J. Hanna, who, in introducing the eagerly- awaited prohibition measure, explained that the Government had decided it would not be advisable to take a referendum until the soldiers returned from the war. The Frovincial Secretary point- ed out that the war might last an- other year and it might be at least six months after hostilities ceased be- fore the soldiers reached Canada. It would take further time to get their names on the voters' list, and the vote i,i any case could not take place in less than two or three years at best. No licenses will be issued or re- newed after May 1st next, Mr. Hanna announced. in outlining the measure. which is ' known as "The Ontario Temperance Act," although the date upon which the Province will go "dry" is not finally fixed, the Provin- cial Secretary stated that license - holders would be given till some- where about the month of Septem- ber next to dispose of their stocks. Following on the lines of the Mac donald act in Manitoba provision would be made for licensing drug- gists. Mr. Hanna took cognizance of the fact that the druggists were not anxious to have anything to do with the sale of liquor, but the Govern- ment hoped they would co-operate in the administration of the measure. Mr. N. W. Rowell, leader of the Opposition, said the Liberals were in. full sympathy with the object of the bill, and the sooner prohibition came into force the better it would suit them. The attitude of the Opposition would be one of sympathy, and it was their desire to help achieve the purpose the bill had in view. He reminded the Provincial Secretary that "it is just about four years since I introduced my first resolution for the abolition of the the bar, and my hon. friend on that occasion said it was a joke. I am glad to see that we are now agreed on both sides on this important advance." Mrs. Robt. Currie and daughter, Ger- trude. who have been visiting Wingham friends for some time, left last week for their home in Edmonton. Miss Maude Hanna spent a few days at her home in town, prior to her de- parture for England with a party of Canadian nurses, who will be in charge of a Canadian Hospital. —Mr. John Menzies, who has spent the winter at his home in East Wawa - nosh, left on Wednesday for Vanguard, Sask„ taking a carload of horses. —Mr. John McCreight of Turnberry, who recently sold his farm, moved on Saturday last with his family t9 his new farm in Elma township, near Atwood. —The regular monthly meeting of the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Wingham General Hospital will be held in the Council Chamber on Monday afternoon, April 3rd, commencing at 4.15 o'clock. —Mr. John J. Casemore, who recent- ly sold his farm on the 2nd line of Mor- ris has moved his family to town and will reside in the house he purchased from Mrs. John Alderson on John, street. —The mild weather which set in on Saturday and followed by the rain on Sunday night, is carrying off the ice and snow. The country roads are in very bad condition and will remain so until they are cleared of snow. —Provincial Constable Phippen last week purchased a pedigreed Jersey heifer from Mr. F. J. Hill.

BUJ EVALE. The next meeting of the Literary.. Society will be held on Friday evening, March 31st, when an interesting pro- gram with some novel features as usual will be presented. The people of Bluevale are indebted to the Young Men's Bible Class of the Methodist Church for the pleasure of hearing "The Minister's Bride" which was presented under their auspices by a talented company from Brussels on the evening. of Tuesday, March 21. The play which was given in the Methodist Church provided an evening of innocent and wholesome fun and entertainment which made life brighter for those who heard it. The episodes in the life of the young minister and his bride when getting settled in the parsonage were very humorously portrayed and the characteristic types of men and women in the congregation were so cleverly acted that they kept the audience in continuous mirth. The play provides numerous musical opportunities and as there were many singers in the caste the solos, duets and quartettes were an enjoyable part of the evening's pro- gram. The entertainment was in aid of the Red Cross fund and thirty-six dollars was realized. Mr. Gilroy, man- ager of the company, announced during the evening that this brought the amount which had been earned by the play up to that time to over four hun- dred dollars. This is a record to be proud of and deserves hearty apprecia- tion. The Westminster Guildof Knox Church held an enjoyable social on Fri- day evening when the young people and their guests took part in a variety of amusing and novel games and contests at the close of which 'a short program was given and refreshments erved. In the contests Mrs. J. W. Kine ReV, C. Tate and Dr. Thos. King of ouris, Man. were judges and presented ahand- some lemon pie to the team winning the most events.

Is Canada prosperous? Are we justified in having the courage and confi- dence to put on full speed ahead in our business activities? _ The experience of the Canadian Ford Company since that never -to -be -forgotten Aug. 1, 1914, indi- cates that courage and confidence should be away above par, that we are fully justified in casting aside anxiety and putting our full energy into an aggres- sive and progressive business policy. It was some time before the outbreal of war at the Ford Canadian Company dec ded an extremely broad policy of expansion. If the demand for Ford cars should increase in the way that it had every indication of doing, then new buildings would have to be started at once to enable the company to meet this demand. When war carne the Ford Canadian executives saw no reason to change their plans—their confidence in Canada's prosperity never wavered. So work was begun on a new building at Ford City costing $452,000. This is used as an addition to the office building and to the main factory building. It adds 130,000 square feet of floor space to the Ford Plant, bringing the total up to more than 9 acres. Then followed a new machine shop costing $90,000. The power plant was also enlarged at a cost of $110,000. In four leading Canadian cities, handsome new buildings were erected as branch assembly plants, sales and service stations. Each one is as large as many automobile factories. All are of similar con- struction, being modern fire -proof buildings of brick and reinforced concrete trimmed with mat glazed terra cotta. The bases are of granite. The interiors are finished and fitted in accordance with the very best modern practice. One of the branch buildings is located at Montreal, 119-139 Laurier Ave., East. It is a four story build - ace and !' ,- iossting $333,000. 1�OOver 100 people 00 suare feet of are or employed itere. The Ford branch at Toronto, 672-682 Dupont St.; is a five -story building containing 132,000 square feet of floor space. The number of employes is about 150. The third new branch building is at London, On- tario at 680-690 Waterloo, Street. It is a three story . structure having 49,872 square feet of floor space and as erected at a cost of $161,000. The immensely increasing demand for Ford cars in Western Canada made it necessary to build a fourth new branch at Winnipeg. This is a handsome five story building located at the corner of Portage Avenue and Wall Street. A quarter of a million dollars was put into its construction. The total cost of these new buildings erected by the Ford Canadian Company since warbeganis$1,724,000 Additional to this are thousands of dollars spent to equip these buildings. Why has this been done? First, to provide Ford owners with greater service facilities. Each of these branches is so completely equipped with parts and machinery as to be able to build a Ford car complete. Also they act as a base for the hundreds of Ford dealers in their part of the coun- try, each of whose place of business is a well'equlpped Ford service station, in giving more rapid and more efficient service to Ford owners. The second reason for this great amount of develop- ment work is to be found in the attitude of the Ford Canadian executives. If these men had followed the policy of many Canadian manufacturers they, with seeming good judgment, might have held up these plans for such enormously expensive construction work. But such was not their attitude. They were con- vinced that progress and prosperity were assured in Canada. This decision was of vast benefit to Canadian indus- tries, Canadian merchants and Canadian workmen in such a critical time as this. Practicallyalithematerial for these buildings was purchased in Canada. Cana- dian workmen were employed in their construction. And after the construction work was over, the whole community benefitted from the enthusiastic, success- ful, wealth producing and distributing activities of these big establishments.
