They will pay it is said 15c a pound and the price to the consumers will be 16c and 1.4lc A further dispatch from Montreal says: "A word of warning was issued by leading members of the Whole- sale Grocers' Guild yesterday that the despatches threatening a rise in price of sugar to 20 cents a lb. were altogether outside the bounds of possibility and that no such ridic- ulous prices were even thought of.

THE'5 DANGER OF FAILURE IN THE COMING REFERENDUM (The Owen Sound Sun -Times) The danger of failure for the forces of temperance in the coming referendum lies mainly in apathy, over -confidence, and the form of ballot which has been decided on. Against these dangers precaution must be taken. Those who are a- wake to the importance of the crisis to be faced must arouse others, those who think one ballot more or less will not decide the issue and that their failure to mark one will not matter, must be brought to real- ize that the liquor interests are in ,the last ditch, fighting for their very existence, and that their will be no over confidence in their ranks Every available vote on their side will be polled. Their organization, propaganda and canvas will be as perfect as money ands prostituted and hired ability can make it.Every effort will be made to win, and if money can help legitimately or ill- igitmately, it will be used. There need be no delusions as to the stategy and tactics of the enemy. Their plans and preparations will be as carefully concealed and comou- flaged, as possible, till the day of polling, when it will be too late for temperance to win if unable to out- match the enemy forces. Every- thing in the end will depend on the numbers who can be mustered on the day of the decision to mark their ballots against the sale of al- coholic liquors for beverage use un- der liscense of by Government offi- cials. The ballot has been cleverly sty- led, "a wide-open ballot," by a member of the Ontario Government It is so in many ways. It is skillfully designed to entrap the unwary. Thousands of voters will never get to understand what the repeal of the Ontario Temperance Act will in- volve. The act has been of immense value during the later stages of the War, in promoting order, prevent- ing waste and increasing produc- tion, but it has been discontinued in its usefulness and partly discre- dited by the immense quantities of liquor shipped zp edroto Ontario, legally a n y and illegally, before it came into force and since. There are many who have become so discouraged and disgusted on this account that they are ready to vote for its repeal v,.l-ri,e+ teen t<...thO .,ro'lttl"tt. of the Liscense Act would mean. This alternative is carefully con- cealed in the form of the question, "Are you in favor of the repeal of the Ontario Temperance Act?" The questions that follow look as if the alternative, were the sale of What is called "light beer" either by Gov- ernment agencies, or in licensed ho- tels in municipalities permitting such sale by majority vote. The so- called "light beer" is more titan twice as strong as the 2% per cent beer, the sale of which is now leg- al, and is quite strong enuogh to make the drinkers of it drunk. But aside from that, the sale of such. beer is not the alternative. The re peal of the Ontario Temperance Act restores the Liscense Act in every municipality where a majority of votes is polled in favor of its repeal, Those who remember conditions under the Liscense Act, before Lo- cal Option was widely adopted and began to effect its reforms, will not be willing to revert to it. The rev- olution wrought in public setiment and practice as to drinking usages, by Local Option has been made more complete and stabilized by the Ontario Temperance Act which has. done for the whole province what, Local Option did for isolated muni- cipalities that adopted it, and more, because of, its general application and better provisions for enforce- ment. Its adoption was a great for- ward step. Its repeal would be hath ing short of a calamity. Those who are older know what conditions would have been like under the Li- cense Act during the strain of the war, when so many would have re- sorted to drink if it could have been legally bought or got. Those who are too young to remember the anti - Local Option days„ but old enough to vote, can scarcely imagine the excess which would have disgraced the Prvoinee and those indulging in them. Here in Owen Sound, a town almost notorious for its drunken- ness amid all the excitement later of the public receptions of the return- ed soldiers, of the celebrations of the signing of the armistice and there was not scene anyone under the influence of liquor, much less drunk. Under liscense, and the drinking customs then prevailing,. the open bar and all that went with it, the celebration of Peace and the welcomes to the soldiers would have been marred by the insane follies gross improper ties andreckless dis- orderliness that prevail, always and everywhere, on such occasions if ;in -toxicants are accessable. They would have been disgraceful orgies. It is time the temperance forces were being mobilized, equipped, drilled, so that a sweeping victory may be won for order, thrift and morality by the utter and final de- feat of the liquor interests, they are suspected of being bank of the form of the ballot that has been adopted, and that may be able to have the date of the voting set as much to their advantage as possible There is no time to be lost. The day of battle may be nearer than is sus- pected. We cannot be ready too soon or too ready. I hear men say, sometimes,"Great Scott! This is the village God forgot! There is no chance for me to rise, in this old burg of mossback guys." Then they go forth upon a day, to fairer pastures far away; and there they find things just as bad as in their own abandoned grad. Its cuts no ice where genius dwells; we'll al ways see it wearing bells. The man who has the goods may go to desert waste or Arctic snow, and there hang out his modest sign, and he will find that trade is fine, Ours is a quiet dreamy town, but it would hold no fellow down. If some youth shows the proper lire, with wrench or ham- mer, brush or lyre, men drop their work for half a day, to help bin for- ward orward on his way. With proper stuff- ing in your head there isn't any town so dead that you can't cut a Swath right there, and nineteen kinds of laurels wear. And in thest dearest, grayest town a man may win a world renown. If you, fair reader, 'where you are, can't hitch your wagon to a star, you Couldn't do the trick in Cork, in Boston, Joplin or New York.. _. ...... a ,,........ y _, 41z-1, SALESMEN WANTED To Represent THE OLD RELIABLE FONTHIL NURSERIES The greatest demand for Nursery Stock in years.
