"sheit is who is Iaet at the cross and

heart is loyal to home, love and duty,
her head often gets light as air and
by reason of conflicting circumstances
she is easily influenced and led astray,
Fashion, that invidious riven, is one
of the chief tempters and but very

OUR GIRLS.
There are just two things that will
keep girls straight at the age when
they begin to think of longer dresses,
and beaux. One is plain clothes and
the other is, home duties. The girls
we see making fools of themselves
are almost invariably overdressed.
They wear dude that women of thirty
should hesitate about wearing.
A little girl with too many and too
costly clothes on her back gets self-
conscious and vain and loves admira-
tion—and you grown-ups know the
next step. A simple, pure -hearted
girl who has a place in a home, home
work and home duties, has her heart
there, and no boy can steal it. Even
when maturity comes, andet real man
comes, and a real affair of her heart
comes, will such a girl leave home,
and then •only after a heart tending.
Buta girl who is at home only at the
table and.late bed time won't love that
home. Work makes things sacred.
The child whose home memories are
not hallowed by work, who is not
needed, and does not feel the need,
will not love home. And if she does
not love the home of her girlhood,
she will love no other. She will go
anywhere for anything. Home will
mean• nothing to such a woman, and
if she is respectable, she will only
lack the opportunity to be abad wo-
man, and is good only through cir-
cumstances or by the necessity of an
ugly free. She will curse any man
she marries.
The mothers of this town .who are
responsible for the girls who gad on
the streets should stop and think•
what they are doing. These girls are
no longer children. They are at an
impressionable age. Where will you
have their impressions come from—
from the riff-raff of the streets, or
from home? It is for the mothers of
this town to settle the question.
The mother who allows the blues
and sulks to overshadow the home,
who allows herself to be moody at d
discontented, fails in a chief duty and
places a handicap on her husband
and children in the race of Life.

A Call for Sacrifice in G odd Roads
Movement
Address Delivered by S, L. Squires, Esq., of Waterford,
Good Roads Association
IlIr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention; =-We are led to believe that
the undertaking of every great reform or
movement has been accompanied by some
sacrifice. When the Magna Charter and
other like reforms were given to the
people of England they cost the heads of
kings. The liberation of the slaves in
the American continent cost a bloody war
and the expenditure of a great deal of
money. In fact, the peop'c of the United
States not only gave of the best of their
men but the financial position of that
country was brought almost to a state of
bankruptcy. They did all this in order
that they might obtain for the black man
the liberty he now has. The gospel of
peace cost the crucifixion of a Christ, and
we know that the principles that were
proclaimed by that Christ have only been
given to us by the sacrifice of a great
many martyrs. Is it then strange to argue
that if we hope to accomplish much in any
great reform, it can only bo done by
sacrifice? I do not wish to contend that
the sacrifice is always in proportion to the
good we obtain. The question which
follows is, is the Good Roads Movement
of sufficient importance to demand eaer'-
fice, and if it is of sufficient importance to
demand a sacrifice, what can we expect
that sacrifice to be. If the Good Roads
Movement is as important as this Also.
elation believes it is to the people of
Ontario, then we cannot expect that it will
be different from other great movements
or reforms. I believe it is an 'important
movement, and just how important it is
depends possibly upon our viewpoint.
Roads aro a necessity. Trails are but
forerunners of settlement. Roads are the
mark of civilization and the higher the
civilization, the higher the standard of the
roads. Ontario demands better roads to-
day than it ever had before, not only be-
cause it has reached a higher point of
'civilization, but because the demand upon
the roads is greater than ever before in
its history. The prosperity of a country
is largely measured by the ease of its
transportation and the primary factor in
transportation is the road which leads
from the producer to the market • towns.
I believe there is nothing that affects rural
Ontario to the same extent as does its
roads. Let us consider rural Ontario as
it stands to -day Statistics show us that
the rural population of old Ontario has
deceased in the last ten years about
100,000 people. The province has not
decreased in population, but the rural
population•of old Ontario has decreased.
The increase of the population of Ontario
in the last ten years has been in its cities
and in Northern Ontario. Twenty-five
thousand men have been lost to the rural
sections of old Ontario during the last ten
years. What dons that mean ? If we
consider that the average earning power
of an able-bodied man in Ontario is $000
per year—and that is not a high average
—that would be equal to a capitalization
of $10,000 invested at 0 per cent. Now
let us capitalize the loss to rural Ontario
in then in the last ten years and we will
find the loss, if capitalized, would amount
to no less than $250,000,000, and that
would mean an earning power of $15,000,-
000. That is what the rural part of old
Ontario has lost during the last ten years.
What does that mean ? It means not
only that we have lost the value of the
men, but we have lost value in the farms.
Our president informed us last night that
his section in the County of Hastings,
farms have lowered in value in the last
five or six years. We know that is not
true throughout Ontario because there
are suctions where farts values have
maintained their high' standard. In ad-
dition to the loss of men, Ontario has lost
in farm value and we have lost all along
the line.
What has been the cause of this°great
leakage, and how can it be stopped ? I
know that there are a great many reasons
why we have lost in the rural sections in
the last ten years. It has not been tea
cause there is less labor there than there
was 10 years ago nor is it because the tabes
has been rewarded to a less degree than
it was ten years ago. I believe you will
find that men have left the farm for the
at Meeting of Ontario
city because they have been faced with a
splendid isolation for three or four months
in the year owing to the very bad roads,
and you cannot blame any young man
who reels that sometimes he wants to get
away from himself and to reach town or
some largo centre.
Do these young !nett do hatter when
they got to town ? No. If we can look
into the average life of the men who live
in the city, we would find that the man
who leaves the farm and goes to the city
does not snake ends meet, but he likes to
live in the city because he can go up and
down the street on a good pavement and
he has easy means of transportation. I
believe if we make it easier for the man
upon the farm to get to his market town
or to get to his church or social centre,
and if we cut down the time which is re-
quired to make the trip we will make
farm life more attractive,
1 thitlk it is the consensus of opinion of
everybody in this meeting that we want
better roads._ When the cost of these
better roads is considered, some men
hold up their hands in holy horror. Good
road■ are expensive, but I contend that
bad roads to a country like Ontario are
far more expensive.
Some of you may have seen an article
which appeared in the "Country Gentle-
man" last week in which it stated a Com-
mission had been appointed by the City of
Minneapolis to ascertain tho loss occasion,
ed by bad roads In that section of the
country. During the year 1011, this
Commission interviewed 4,000 farmers
who were living within 25 miles of the
City of Minneapolis and from the evidence
that was given by these 4,000 farmers,
they found that there had been a loss to
the farmers of that section for that one
year of $080,000 by reason of.bad roads.
That was made up by breakage and the
=eased time required in order to make
irips and by the deterioration of the pro-
duce that was carried to the market over
the rough roads. In addition to that
there was the loss to the manufacturers in
the City of Minneapolis in taking his pro-
duce to the farms, and it was contended
by that Commission that the loss within a
radius of 26 miles of the City of Minne-
apolis in the year I911 amounted to a sum
of not less than $1,400,000. What was
true 'of that section would be true of On-
tario, I believe we, as an Association
will not have completed our work until we
make it possible for the people of this
Country to go from place to place much
easier than they can at present.
We spoke of the sacrifice that would be
required. I wonder what we moan by
that ? Men, I believe that until we saeri-
fice selfishness upon the altar of the com-
mon good, we cannot expect what we are
hoping for in connection with good roads.
Selfishness of the farmer 1 Yes, he can be
selfish too. How often we have talked to
farmers about better roads and they say,
"I am not interested in it because that
road is not going to pass my place" ; bee
cause the improvement is not going to be
immediately in front of his gate, he is not
going to help it along ; he is going to be
selfish. The farmer is selfish because he
believer alt this agitation is for the bene-
fit of the man who has a motor, and he
says. "I can afford to pull my team . a
little harder just for the sake of seeing
the man who has a car stuck in the mud."
That selfishness on the part of the farmer
has to be sacrificed upon the altar of the
common good. The farmer is not alone
in the matter of selfishness. We find the
motorist is delirious of having the roads
improved for what purpose? Wo have
been told that they want roads from the
American border to Ottawa and from Ot-
